Archbishop Spellman
 Is Enthroned Today
tContinued from Page D

''What are the riches intended the riches of material things or the riches of divine grace and spiritual power in Christ our Saviour" he asked. My vtswpoint, as a Catholic bishop, is the apprehension of Saint Paul who wrote to the Corinthians: We look not at the things that are seen but the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal"
 Archbishop Spellman began his address of acceptance with a tribute to "the grandeur of this holy place St. Patrick's Cathedral.
 Attended As Child
 "As a child I was brought here by my father and mother" he recalled 'As a youthful student in this city often did I come here to pray, and never did come without feeling re- newed in the life of the spirit. On the altar in the Lady Chapel of this cathedral on July 6, 1916, offered by first mass in America.
 2 Today, I have walked the long aisle and approached the altar, not as a young man come to commune a while with God, and then to de- part fortified with new found grace to meet the problems of youth and of scholastic tasks, but have come in my mature years to stay, to stay with the keys of this building of God, and all that it typifies and sig nifleS entrusted to my care-here to remain, until God calls me to ren- der an account of my stewardship. If this Gothic structure were only . work of art made by man, would feel myself alone-chilled, perplexed and afraid. But the Divine Prenece is here and in prayer have sup port for my soul stronger than the arches that pointing heavenward hold up this edifice, and to the voice of my own misgivings the answer of Scripture is heard: My grace is suf- ficient for thee.'"
 Pays Tribute to Pope
 The archbishop paid tribute to Pope Plus XII, who named him to succeed the late Cardinal Hayes, and recalled that the pontiff, then Euge- nio Cardinal Pacelli, visited New York two and one half years ago.

WOMEN OF CANADA
 WON BY QUEEN
(Continued from Page D
Is Very Modern

She is modern, make no mistake about that. She is, am convinced more aware of the terrifically i'm portant part women are playing in today's world than any woman alive She rejoiceS in women'S emancipa- ton. She is as proud of our ad- vancement in every new branch of the worlds work as is the most ad- vanced woman living. She is gen. timely interested in the arts; she does not merely pretend to be as SC many great patrons do. She is de- termined that her children shall be educated, in the finest sense of the word. She has infleunced the world of fashion by the style of her clothes their color, her hair dressing - even Parisians admit that the amazing revolution the queen has effected is sweeping their world.

 In Ottawa, laying the foundation stone of the new supreme court, she said: "It is perhaps not inappro- priate that this task should be per- formed by a woman, for women's position in civilized society has de- pended on the gowth of the law"
 One laid her golden trowel down, and almost caressingly, touched the Inscribed block of stone that bore her name and the kings. His Majesty moved - 1t seemed as though all was over. She alone thought of going to inspect the site of the building to which she had put her hand. She looked at the broad sweep of the Ottawa River for . few seconds, in silence, and then, with smile and a gesture beckoned to the prime minister. He and the king joined her and with her hand she showed the beautiful prospect.
 Grasps Hand of Worker
 She turned and saw beside the cornerstone one of the workmen who had helped put it in place. She smiled. An American girl beside me held her breath. I know what she was thinking. Her Majesty stretched out the hand that had held the golden trowel The workman took it and the gathering of Ottawa's s proudest dignitaries cheered her to the echo. She shook hands with the other workman. She smiled up at the man aloft who had operated the crane. The prime minister beck oned him down and she shook hands with him, too.
 At the banquet rendered that eve ming by the government of Canada, drinking the kings health, she turned to him, raised her glass and drank with 8 happy smile. Her love was so plain that the great gather ing rose to her. When her health was proposed they cast aside all re- straint. "The queen! The queen! The queen!", they shouted, cheer ing again and again.
 Woman Who Wins Hearts
 It was an ovation to woman who wins hearts easily wherever she goes
 Then yesterday she revealed an- other facet of her character. The transformation happened when the Dionne Quintuplets, after courtsey- ing, ran up to her where she stood beautiful and smiling in her lovely blue frock and presented her with their tight little bouquets.

tee. The measure was transmitted to the Senate for final action.
 Specifically, the bill provides that temporary injunctions may be is- sued after grievances have been presented formally to the courts, except in cases where it could be shown that the complainant would suffer substantial and irreparable' loss as result of a strike. In that event e temporary restraining order could be obtained for three days without notice.
 Permanent injunctions could be is- sued only after 1t was proven that the complainant has offered to sub- init to arbitration and was met with rebuff.

streets, has looked down from above on these towers that reach up to him, has spoken to us, has knelt i'll prayer in our midst and has blessed us" the archbishop said.
 How heartening to all of us to think that he knows us as we know him, that he loves us as we love him, that we can depend on his learning, knowledge and affection to aid us in our difficulties, as, in his trials, we shall stand with him in true and answering devotion"
 Returns He Makes
 What return shall I make for all that I have received?" he con- tinued.
 "To my people, my care and solici- tude.
 ITO my priests, justice and char ity.
 ITO the bishops, my brotherly af- lection.
 "To the apostolic delegate who has installed me, my loyal devotion.
 "To our holy father, Pope Plus XII, gloriously reigning who has ap- pointed me, the love of a son, and the undying fidelity of Catholic bishop.
 And to God, for this grace to me unworthy, bow my head and direct my prayer that His grace in me may not be in vain. The burden is heavy. Without God, my capacity is nothing"
 Mass Followed
 When he resumed his throne, Bishop Donahue celebrated a solemn pontifical mass.
 The enthronement ceremony was preceded by a pontifical procession from the episcopal residence behind St. Patricks, around to the great doors of the cathedrals west front. Many of the thousands lining the streets knelt as the archbishop-elect passed.
 A color guard led the way, fol- lowed by a detachment of the lighting Irish"-the 165th Regi- ment. A cross bearer with attend ant acolytes and groups of students of Catholic schools and colleges, seminarians and brothers marched slowly along with superiors of religi- ous orders, and monsignor abbots and abbots ordinary. Behind them, gathered from all parts of the na- tion, were the archbishops and bishops who came to welcome their new brother.
 Then came the officers of the high mass, which followed the enthrone- ment, and a group of papal knights, with plumes and swords and em- broidered tunics.
 BOSTON FRIENDS THERE
 New York, May 23.-(UP)-Many Boston friends of the Most Rev. Francis J. Spellman came to New York today to attend or participate in his installation as new archbishop of New York.
 Among them was Edward F. Mo- Hugh, lifelong friend of the pre- late who, because of a close re- semblance, often has been taken for the former Boston bishop. With him were Mrs. McHugh and Mrs. Beatrice Welton and Mrs. Alice Hurley of Boston.
 Others included former Gov. James M. Curley and Mrs. Curley and their son-in-law and daughter MT. and Mrs. Edward c. Donnelly; Judge Francis J.

mind that 8 compromise half New Deal-half conservative Democratic 194O candidate would not do.
 Under those circumstances, many political observers believe, 1t would be necessary for MT. Roosevelt to seek renomination himself because of the general doubt that he could dictate the nomination of any of the 100 per cent New Dealers among the White House political circle.
 Principles Still Stand
 "You cannot expect this admins tration," he said, ito alter the prin- ciples and objectives for which we have struggled the last six years"

 A Mt. Vernon, Ohio, department store owner, John w. Rudin, deliv- cred one of the new anti-adminis- tration speeches this morning charging the New Deal with pro. noting class feeling and prosecuting business men.
 Addresses Little Fellows
 To the retailers, representatives oi comparatively small business units the little fellows-Mr. Roosevelt made last night "a simple plea fol your assistance" in contrast te earlier refusal to addresses the United States Chamber of Com. merce.
 He warned that a repetition of the catastrophe of 1929 would change our social and economic systems:
 He denounced the dole and tolc the retlaeirs it would curb pur. chasing power.
 He said our old age pension Sys. tenn would have to be extended.
 New Deal policies, he said, point the nation toward better times ir which an $8O,000, ,0OO, ,O00 national in. come would give the federal govern ment revenue to continue spending at the present scale.
 Americans think rightly of profits the president said.
 "But we are not ruled by the thought of profits alone," he con- tinued. More and more we seek the making of profits by processes that will not destroy our fellow men who

A Thought for Today
Watch For Economy

Nothing is closer to Gov Raymond E. Baldwin's heart right now than his hope for an economical regime during the fis- cal year beginning in June. He has preached it and practiced it, so far as he could in his short time in office. The forthcoming state budget is underlined and overscored with the word, economy. If you don't believe that consult the original departmental estimates and what has been decided upon by the gov- ernor and his budget aides. Yet with all these demands for more economy in government, there are proposed several reforms that will wipe out, perhaps, all the savings.
 One of these in the minor court reform about which we have heard so much and which has been so long coming. If ever the state is to do something about the smaller courts of the state, elimination of the fee system and justice courts, this year is certainly the opportune time for it. During the Cross administration the foundation was laid for the movement, but the necessary man-power to push across the proposed changes was missing fire. In short the spirit was willing but the flesh proved very weak when 1t came to the actual test.
 But it's different now. Republicans campaigned on the minor court reform last fall. Gov. Baldwin spoke at great length about it and how he hoped to end the abuse of judicial powers. Democrats : were also pretty much in accord. So there's nothing left to do but reform the minor courts And it's going to be an ex- spensive job, as Attorney Michael V. sBlansfield of this city told the judiciary committee of the Legislature in Hartford Hast week. He was one of the few persons, if not the only one who came before the committee and said that many judges and small courts were being unjustly criti- cized for the faults of few.
 The cost of changing the small court system is going to be heavy one. So will the cost of several other changes that Gov. Baldwin has in mind. All of which may upset curtailed budget, such as now looms up before us.

large part because of the special fight against the form of heart disease which affects younger persons.
 Unusually favorable weather is given as another reason for the general de- cline in the 1888 death rate, and marked absence of influenza and other respiratory diseases often fatal to suf- ferers from heart trouble. The report in question says nothing, of course, automobile accidents, which had some effect on death rate statistics.

Spiting Hague

z All sorts of schemes and plans have ~been concocted to embarraSS, entangle, : and otherwise block the political progress @of Mayor Frank Hague of Jersey City. He s has been called all manner of names; sshe has been subjected to criticism of ..~all and sundry. He is cited from one end ! of the country to the other as what not s to be in American political life. Yet he continues to "boss" his bailiwick. The -.oddest story of them all, though, is now sout down in Plainfield, N. J. A wealthy @investor is running his beautiful estate : to spite Hague.
 On his estate there are about 1,200 .s trees, all of them beautiful specimens, !, full-grown, well-developed, and showing zs the results of careful attention for many V years. They are being cut to the ground ,. one by one and the hacking will continue 7 until every tree on the estate is felled.
 After that the large two-story house on brick. Then the owner plans to leave New : Jersey and spend the rest of his life !. travelling. All of which strikes the aver age man, who can't afford to do anything 2 like this, as pretty silly.
 2 Running his beautiful estate will to be . sure, considerably lessen its value and cause taxes on the same to be greatly
 lowered, but this won't be terrific blow
 to Mayor Hague's pride or prestige. He ; probably won't even care one way or the
 other what the outraged investor does .. with his own possessions. Personal frus- ? tration may give the individual some
 satisfaction, but it's temporary and of no :. lasting value to himself or society in gen. Z eral. When President Roosevelt was run : ming for office, there was man who was < going to leave the country and live < elsewhere if Roosevelt was elected. If he \ carried out his threat, he was never missed. And the same is true in the New
 Jersey incident.

Only two years old the Legislative Council faces abolishment. A resolution is before the present General Assembly to discontinue the body. Senator J. Morti- mer Bell of Salisbury is author of the bill. However, there is pretty good support for continuation of the council, so it looks like a battle royal between oppo- nents and proponents. The unfortunate part of it all. lies in the fact that al- though the council made very fine report late last year of it's findings and what it would report to the incoming Legislature, it's program has been more or less lost sight of in the heat of recent legislative squabbles. Add to that the fact that many of the proposals of the council are taken up, too, by other organizations who have only one inter- est at heart and it can easily be seen that some one has to get out there and blow a trumpet all the time for council plans. Perhaps if the Legislative Council was given paid lobbyist, it might keep it's program out in front all the time.

Selected Poem
PERISH THE THOUGHT

PERISH THE THOUGHT (Berton Braley in the New York Sun) Although the vogue in women's frocks Causes the men to suffer shocks At sleeves ballooning till 1t hurts And 1890 styles in skirts, And though the mode in ladies' tresses Is still insaner than their dresses, And chapeaux we are gazing at Are yet more lunatic than that; Although designs in female shoes Show schizophrenic shapes and hues And rouge for women's cheeks and lips And polish for their finger tips Assume futuristic art
 Which would explode the color chart; Thank heaven there are limitations, Look at the frenzied illustrations In fashion magazines, and think Into what deep despair we'd sink If we were really gazing at Feminine creatures built like THAT!

Not all the statistics have yet been as- sembled, but those now ready indicate that 1888 was probably the healthiest year in the history of the United States reached the lowest point on record, ap- 'parently only 77 per 1000. Ten years ago 1t was 9.2.
 Nine of the more serious diseases regis tered new minimum death rates, and tenth, tuberculosis, tied its very low 1887 figure. For the second year in succession deaths from heart disease decreased, in

Senator Francis T. Maloney did pretty good job, we think, in offering a bill in Congress that would set up spe- cial funds for survey of hurricane dam age along the Connecticut coastline. Such survey would be of tremendous value to Connecticut in making plans for future seashore development. It may be, though, that national legislators won't agree that the federal government do all the work, assume the entire cost, and the state reap any possible benefits therefrom. Still surveys of coastal waters and abutting shores is more or less within the federal governments province.

Another Stern Farm Hero

It is an incomparable first novel that Herbert Krause has written in Wind Without Rain" (Bobbs-Mer- Till: $2.50). The tragic tempo of this tale of Minnesota farm life will haunt you long after you have turned the last page. At no time are you likely to enjoy 1t, yet the peculiar rhythmic power of MT. Krause pulls you on and on.
 Perhaps this is so because the story opens with dire foreshadow- ing which is never quite dropped to the end. Its principal character. farmer, Johan Vildvogel, hovers like some mighty thunder cloud across the years, dominating his wife and four sons, browbeating them, press. ing the last hard ounce of sweat and energy and hope out of them.
 vildvogel is a German farmer. With 8 tenaciousnesS characters istic of his race, he knows no rest. Relentlessly, he drives his family with him. But there is more too in MT. Krause's story, for Vild- vogel has had past; moreover, he is eternally suspicious of his wife. It is these things then that cut a heavy swath across the family's happiness. Tn the end, vildvogel sees his error but 1t is too late to repent, even to relent. MT. Krause shows this in a touching, utterly pathetic scene that you will not soon forget. the death of the mother. Finding his wife unable to arise this morning, Ivildvogel chides her. Later, in the 1 presence of a minister, he asks her to contess>a a sin which she has not committed.
 In the end, the sins of the father are visited upon the children and life goes on in the same tragic
 pattern. Here, MT. Krause drops
 his story and you are glad, which
 is precisely what he wants you t

Asiatic Explosions

American sympathy went out to Japan when, the other day, great munition storehouse blew up at Osaka, killing and wounding hundreds of people and leaving many thousands homeless. Most of us are pleased, perhaps, that t.le munitions are gone, but sorry for the people. We have always liked the Japanese in gen. eral, though repelled by their strutting militarists. The common people are gen. tie and courteous and have always been friendly to Americans.
 China is another story, but there are explosions there, too, no less destructive than the Osaka accident. And they are not accidental. They are very purpose full. The Japanese invaders, as their conquest proceeded, established Chinese officials to govern the occupied areas, and the Chinese have been Systematically killing those native traitors. For weeks recently, such administrative puppets have been bumped off" as regularly as clockwork, at the rate of one a day. So the conquerors find it harder and harder to get native officials for governmental service which they cannot perform them selves.
 The Chinese regard this as legitimate form of warfare. They are unable to meet the invading armies openly but by this form of defense they may make the military conquest futile. And much as Americans dislike assassination, we find it hard to blame the Chinese.
