The Goriest Fourth

Let us imagine national catastrophe,
say an earthquake, in which $500 peo-
pie lost their lives, 100000 were
Injured. We would all pitch in to
do anything possible to prevent it from
happening again. Yet that is simply last
years accident toll for July in the United
States. The toll taken each year by
celebrations of the Glorious Fourth mere
ly sets the key for what is always our
gorieSt accident month.
The National Safety Council is prop
erly urging the cooperation of every
person in the country to reduce this
fearful destruction of life and property.
1t is not enough to expect public authori-
ties to act to stem this tide of destruc-
ton. Every man, woman, and child can
help. See to it that you and every men,
Der of your family play it safe" not only
on the Fourth, but throughout the
month. That in itself will better serve
the country than shooting off any num-
Der of cannon-crackerS.

There Is No Returning

"Turn back the Universe" mooed the
balladist, land Give Me Yesterday" That
was in the sentimental days B. C.. (Be-
fore Crooners). But there are almost as
MANY people yearning today for the
good old days" as there were then. After
the World War, we yearned for the happy
and simple days before the war when a
dollar was dollar, and you could travel
the world without passport But that
world was gone.
Since 1892 we have been yearning for
the flush days when anybody could turn

enters It's decisive last phase, there are
still some who look back 10 a resumption
Of world trade on q comparatively free,
private basis, just as IL was before the In.

When We Learn "

Four years ago Connecticut put into
effect law requiring of applicants for
marriage licenses a blood test for syphilis.
At first people tended to resent it, anG the
first year of the law marriages fell off
more than 1000, while nearly 1000 elope-
ments to neighboring states took their
place. But by 1889 the number of mar
riages had actually increased above the
number that took place before the blood
test law went into effect. People had
learned. The law is apparently no longer
resented, and it's benefits are being real
lied.
During that four years 600 cases Of
syphilis were found among persons ap-
plying for marriage licenses. Most of
them underwent treatment for the law
does not forbid marriage after a cure is
effected. The misery and suffering, to
say nothing of the social burden, thus
prevented by the new law cannot be
measured. But it must be very great.
Four years of education have made the
people of Connecticut realize it.

Who's Nominating Who?

While the above may be slightly I'M
grammatical, it fully expresses the be-
wilderment of those who CHANGED to read
an article in the current issue of the
Connecticut State Journal, monthly pub
LEGATION of Clarence Willard of New Ha-
ven in behalf of the Republican Party.
The article in question was the best SELL
ing argument that we have yet seen for
the Democrats nominating Commissioner
of Public Works Robert Hurley for the
governorship. It spared no words in
praising his administration of new de-
partment, one that probably ranks as
the most important in our state govern
ment today.
The article assumes that Governor
Raymond E. Baldwin will be renominated
and that Mayor Jasper McLevy of Bridge
port will run on his own private" ticket,
but it practically insists that Commits
sioner Hurley be the Democratic NOM
inee by painting so bright picture of
his accomplishments that all other po-
tential candidates are completely eclipsed
Such praise is indeed pleasant to read,
even if you aren't necessarily Hurley
rooter. Coming as it does now with Gov
ernor Baldwin practically committed to
thoughts of second term it bears more
weight.
One gets the impression from reading
this Republican rhapsody about a DEM
ocratic-appointed commissioner that Mr..
Hurley has accomplished in short order
what few would be able to do If this is
so, then no better administrator of the
states affairs need be looked for further
On the other hand Republicans preferring
to point to the glories of Baldwin adj
miniStration won't care to find a Demo-
crat being singled out as bigger indi-
vidual in the state government than even
the chief executive himself.

and to the system Of trade, political, and
military alliances it had made then. They
were gone, but France looked back. The
United States is fortunate in that 1t can
look ahead, If it will, unafraid into this
strange new world. But unfortunately
nostalgia and the compelling remem-
brance of things past are also strong
among us.
The trade war in South America fore
cast for latter the war" has not even
waited for that wars end Already Ger
many is seeking orders for steel and
machine plants there, so confident Of
victory in the war that she is reported
posting cash bonds to guarantee delivery
in September and October.
Should Germany emerge from the war
as economic spokesman for 400,000,O00
people in Europe, Japan control the eco
nomic activities of another 400, OOO, 900 in
Asia, and Russia another 100000, 900,
foreign trade is going to be something the
like of which the world never saw.
Gigantic pressures will be able to be
directed in turn and at will on one small
independent country after another. Their
only chance to avoid complete economic
dependence will be to combine. That
makes the Hull reciprocal trade program,
designed for free world dead issue to-
day. New techniques must be devised to
meet new situations. They are in the
making The world has embarked on a
strange, wild course, and during the life
time of most people now living, there is
no returning.

Alas, for Truffles and Jam

Don't say we weren't warned. They said
we would have to make sacrifices, and
here they are - already. Chefs in big
New York luxury hotels are already be-
moaning the fact that truffles have be-
come very scarce. Pete de fois gras? The
shortage is grave. Filets of anchovy? The
price is rising. English jams are scarce
Irish bacon can't be had. No Belgian
endive. An Italian salami is off the
menus entirely.
Well, there it is! Just think of the
times during the past few years when
you had truffles and pate de fois gras for
dinner, and you see Immediately how
serious all this is. Who can tell? If this
sort of thing keeps up it may be neces-
sary to turn to consuming some of our
own vast agricultural SURPRISES, the
wheat, the corn, the dairy products,
native fruits, which our own farmers
have produced by the sweat of their brows
and can't sell for enough to make
living.

TURNARoUNDs NOT FAVORED
(Meriden JournaD

The swanky Wilbur Cross Park
way, when it finally gets to East
Meriden, may not have any OF the
"turnarounds" or breaks in the es-
planade that feature. the Merritt
Parkway.
The turnarounds are source of
accidents, according to Lieutenant
w. E. Bushey of the Westport bar
racks, formerly Of Hanover Park,
who investigated eight accidents in
May on the "foolproof" boulevard.
Openings were made at intervals
in the turfed center of the parkway
to permit motorists to turn around
instead Of going below at regular
exit and coming UP on the park
way at the opposite side. It departs
from the clover-leaf engineering
principle on which the parkway was
based and which was to keep traffic
always on its right hand side. In
order to use one Of the many open
ings In the esplanade car must
turn to its left In front Of the fol-
lowing traffic and must Join traffic
In the opposite lane from the wrong
side OF the road.
Meriden Is slated for O clover-ieaf
intersection on East Main street but
II win probably not have any turn
aronnds. II won't, at least. II It.
Bushey's advice Is taken.

L. NJ, st. Paul-Gov. Stassen's
charge that Roosevelt had caused
the country to be lnprepared was
hardly based upon fact. Actually,
Roosevelt has done better pob of

other peace time President. Dur
ing the first four years of Roose-
welt, the Army got about the
same treatment as under Hoover.
but In the last three years army
appropriations shot up sky high.
AS a matter of fact, Roosevelt
went even further than Congress
and took money out Of PWA funds
for the Army and Navy, until Con-
gress inserted q clause In the PWA
bill preventing him from doing
this. He was much more defense

A Moderate Dose

Too much Fourth of July can be bad Tor
anyone. Therefore, take it moderately
and with due regard to yourself and your
neighbor. The now somewhat trite say
ing of being alive on the fifth OF July by
observing safe and sane Fourth OF July
has a lot to recommend it. waterbury,
like so many other communities today, has
banned fireworks, save those under pub
lie supervision. It's up to the fathers and
mothers and their enterprising offspring
to live up to this mandate.
But fireworks today are really only a
minor part of the independence Day Gel
ebration. They never claimed the lives
nor manned as many persons as have
automobiles in the last two decades. True,
this wear there won't be a long holiday
celebration for most of us. 1t will be
lust one day off and then back to work,
but in that short space of "a hours a lot
of Americans want to cover a lot OF Amer
lean territory Drive safely and watch
the other fellow at all times. He's usually
the cause of the accident in which you
find yourself involved.
Be a true American patriot in every
way possible tomorrow. Think and act
like an American should on this great
birthday of our nation. The first thing
in the morning hoist the Stars and
Stripes aloft in front of your home or see
TO it that the flag floats in front of your
place of business. Whether you spend
quiet day at home or go places and see
things look around long enough to ap-
preciate the beauty of free country in
which all of us enjoy the same privileges
and have the same opportunities. It's
your land and my land; let's make it
worth while living in now and forever
more.

TWO IMMIGRANTS
On the night before the I'M
migration Bureau was transferred
from the Labor Department to
the Justice Department, Immigra-
ton officials staged a farewell
party with Madame Perkins as
the principal speaker. AS Secre-
tary Of Labor she had made no
protest against the removal of
the agency from her jurisdiction,
but on this occasion she spoke
her mind.
II am proud of the humane rec
ord of the Bureau Miss Perkins
said. ut has always been our
policy to remember that the immi-
grant OF today is the citizen of
tomorrow. It has been our policy
to make the entry Of immigrants
at Ellis Island a friendly and
sympathetic welcome. 1t Is my
fervent hope that this will con-
tinue to be the Bureaus policy.

Some O. these mornings, tore the suns on the rise,
Coin down to the shore where the sea-damp lies,
And III speak to the Lord that lives in the sky
And he'll hear me above the seagulls cry.
And on that sad morning. while the world is STILL

Down through the meadow by the new light OF day,
Gonna carry old Tom. who is wasting away.
Coin down TO the shore long the old church road
And through the wet creepers III shoulder my load.
And the ehurch-bel now silent and musty with age
Win ring out In sadness and shudder its cage.
