Mary was often bored with her job It was the
same thing day after day, but the pay check more
than made up for her occasional boredom and re-
bellion,- and so she kept it to herself.
But now that she has been married few years,
and her days are beginning to seem rather drab
she isn't hard-headed enough to say, well, wanted
to marry. I wanted to be a housewife. If it isn't
all fun-still it is much better than being single"
KNEW IMPORTANCE OF APPEARANCE
Mary knew she had to look her best If she
wanted to hold her job against all comers-so she
took great pains to look as smartly dressed and
carefully groomed as possible.
But it hasn't occurred to her that the same is
true in marrage-and little by little she is turning

Chief Justice Casts
Dissenting Opinion
Supreme Court UphOIds Judge McNiff's Ruling on Con-
ditional Bill Of Sale Transaction Involving Auto

BY q four to one decision yester-
day, with Chief Justice william M.
Maltbie dissenting, the state SUI
preme court of errors sustained the
decision Of Judge Miles r. McNi6
Of the court Of common pleas, in
favor Of the defendant, IN the case
Of the Standard Acceptance Corp.
against Deputy Sheriff Daniel Con-
nor. The principal point in ques-
ton was whether q conditional bill
of sale transferred the ownership
Of an automobile to the purchaser
when. it was first drawn up and
signed, or whether the transfer Of
title occurred only when final pay
ments had been made. This Ques-
ton was complicated by the fact of
an admittedly erroneous date on the
particular conditional bill Of sale
under discussion in this case.
Deputy Sheriff Conner attached. a
car which had been sold by a dealer
to John B. and Angelina Calca on
Dec. 2, 1888, and In this action the
finance company was attempting to
IcCOVcI LLlc CoI O1l t1lC SIOul4uS bIldb
the title was not vested in the pur-
chasers until the completion of all
payments.
Judge McNiff held that, despite an
obvious error which said that pay
ments for the car were to start on
Jan. 10, 1888, a date some months
before the sale was even made, the
conditional bill of sale must be re-
garded as an absolute sale, inasmuch
as there was no mention in it of the
date when payments were to end.
In supporting the view of the COM
mon pleas court, the supreme court
quoted various sections of the Cen
eral Statutes, to show that all con-
ditional sales which do not meet
certain specific conditions, such as
being acknowledged before some
competent authority, and filed in the
town clerks Office, must be regarded
as absolute sales. Accordingly, prop
erty thus transferred would be LA

another tack in an effort to invite
us to do something about our gold
stock. He asserts that if we are to
trade with Europe, dominated by
Germany, we must revalue our gold
so that 1t will flow out of, and more
goods will flow into, the United
Statesl
To revalue our gold we would in
crease the number of grains of gold
in our gold dollar; this is equivalent
to lowering the gold dollar price of
gold bullion. Retaliation of the dol
lar would make our dollars cost the
Germans more in terms of their
marks; Germany could hardly gain
from this unless the prices of our
commodities should fall by a per-
centage greater than our revaluation
of the dollar-something that might
or might not happen.
From our point of view, it would
not be to our interest to revalue our
dollar upward, since the dollar value
Of the Treasury's gold assets would
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-08-14

| be written down while the Treasury's
liabilities would be unchanged. The
effect would be to increase the
Federal debt. Then there would be
some tendency to depress the prices
of commodities entering foreign
trade and to make importation of
commodities more inviting. It Is
hardly likely that our government
would pursue such course. At least
it should not; it should leave the
gold dollar price of our gold UNI
changed.
Thus, within very short period
of time, we have seen the Germans
declare % that they would render
our gold worthless, and, (2) through
Funk, that we should make It more
expensive for the Germans.
AL this Is very peculiar argue
ment, and involves some remarkably
inconsistent thinking. It probably
reveals nothing of greater irnpor-
lance than a realization by Ger.
many that we hold the whiphand in
world trade, since we have SO much
gold with which to trade and since
Germany apparently must use the
crude, primitive barter system In
competition with our gold-the lat
ter being the most marketable COM
modify on earth.
1t would appear, therefore, that
Germany has grown historical about
her future prospects in competing
with us in foreign trade, and is
throwing out any sort Of thought
which she thinks might cause us
to question the value Of Our gold.
1t is part of the usual tactics Of
totalitarian government to destroy,
if it can, the confidence Of the people
of a democracy in their vital insti-
buttons. Propaganda devices of
every sort have been used to accom-
plish this end: and Germany's
Nominations on gold seem to be-
long to this species Of propaganda.
1t Is Germany, not we, who needs
to be concerned about the future
and about the value Of our gold
stock; and the American people
would be very foolish to permit
themselves to be ratified by, Ger
man propagandlStS.
But there is one question regard
ing the handling Of our gold supply
which we should direct to our gov
eminent Why does the Federal gov
eminent pay out 81 100000 to send
S. 900 100000 of gold by registered
mail from New York to Fort Knox,
Kentucky, when it could use the
army trucks and soldiers already at
its disposal, and thus send this gold
to Kentucky with no increase what
ever in expense? Is this another bit
of phoney financing to enable the
postal authorities to balance their
budget at the expense Of the tax
payer?

BILE for attachment.
In the dissenting opinion placed
on record by the chief justice, he
asserted that the opinion Of the ma
jority seemed to him based more on
technicalities than ON common
sense. He said that Connecticut
courts have never in the past been
so strict about the requirements for
the recording Of documents, In or
der to make them valid.
The majority opinion, written by
Associate Justice Arthur F. ELS, and
concurred In by Justices Jennings,
Brown and Avery, claims that only
a single erroneous date is given for
the start Of payments, and none for
their termination, and that there
fore the true facts of the sale can
not be a5certained. It is obvious that
there Is an error in the date on
which payments are to begin, but
what the date should be IS merely
a guess.

Cheshire, November GA gain of about 250 was recorded by the Re- publican party here yesterday as a plurality of 7S4 was given to Wen- dell Willkie. The vote was 1882 to 6o8 for Roosevelt. The margin four years ago was slightly over 800. The summary:

cans young Tor HO0SeVelC ana some Democrats voting for Willkie.
 The large vote that Congressman J. Joseph Smith boiled here Che led the Democratic ticket) was @ real tribute to the work MT. Smith has done. It is believed that some who voted for most Republican nominees split for Cong. Smith because of the work he has done in behalf of the defense of the country.
 Just to see how close they could come to guessing the results, about 50 persons interested in politics, in- cluding political leaders, reporters and others, wrote down estimates of the probable plurality and sealed each estimate up until after the elec- ton.
 Matt Scully, third ward Democrat and Young Democrat leader in the state, made the closest guess with 1905, IA more than the plurality of l59l for the president.
 In both ranks there IS some dlS- appointment today because State Treasurer Joseph E. Talbot was not reelected. Atty. Talbot is quite pop ular here and the fact that he ran 900 ahead of his ticket here is an indication of this.
 Friends of Thomas Grant, Dem ocratic nominee for state senator, were also sorry that he did not win. MT. Grant got good-sized plurality here but 1t was whittled down in other towns and he lost by a vote of 18348 to 19524.
 Democrats in the third ward may well feel proud of the outcome of the vote in that ward. It gave over 500 plurality, topping the first ward, which normally gives the most plu- rality to the Democrats because it is @ larger ward.

Two Naugatuck men who sought state office were defeated in the election throughout the state. Jo- seph E. Talbot lost the race for state treasurer in the Roosevelt landslide in this state. MT. Talbot was first elected to this post in 1888.
 Thomas Grant was unsuccessful in his bid for state senator from the l4th senatorial district, his mar gin here not being sufficient to off, set his opponents pluralities in some other towns.
 It was an election that will be long remembered here because of the unusual interest.
