A Knickknack a Week

The propounding of advice on how to be happily married must be one of the major industries of the country rank ing, no doubt, just below steel-making, farming, and war-experting. Latest such tidbit of advice comes from Daniel Eisen- berg of New York, whose job consists largely of tracking down husbands who have tried to fly the domestic coop. Says experienced Eisenberg, Variety is the spouse of life. Make it point to add some new knickknack to the house once a week"
 Hm! We'd like good look inside the Eisenberg home. There must be many men loose on the world who are fugitives from knickknack- filled homes And, lest Eisenberg's panacea be taken too serious ly by hopeful wives, let us launch a counter-cruSade under the slogan, "A knickknack a week makes the matri- monial boat leak"

We presume you could argue the ques- tion of the date of inauguration of city and town officials until the COWS came home and still be as positive about your own claims as the other fellow is of his. Mayor Vincent Scullys administration doesn't like what the charter now pro- vides for this, namely that elected off, cials shall assume office week later. This charter provision was made two years ago at the instigation of ex-Senator George T. Culhane who is now defending it and proposes to argue it's merits the next time the Cities and Boroughs Con- mittee of the Legislature takes up the city's charter bill. The change recom- mended this year is back to the former inauguration date of January 1. But there is a difference here that the ex- senator overlooks or didn't notice. The Scully charter changes call for our mu- nicipal elections in November instead of October, which is sensible move and would give added weight to the January inaugural.

Millions for Mercy

While the question of feeding the people of occupied territories in Europe is being discussed, it might be well to pause moment to realize that the United States has not entirely turned it's back on Europe's sufferings.
 Almost $20,000,000 has been spent by the Red Cross in helping stricken people of Europe and Asia About half of that has gone to Britain, but France, Finland, Greece, China, Spain, and Poland, Bel gium, Canada, the Netherlands, Norway and Switzerland have all felt the touch of this helping hand.
 There are many things happening in the world of which we cannot be proud. There are many things on which we are divided. But of this aid, ard further similar help that is to follow, we may feel both proud and united.

 case, presumably for Fascist
 propaganda. ...
 Yet young Hammond, accord ing to his close friends in the diplomatic service, had disagreed with his father and family on al- most everything, and unlike them, is a stat,nch Roosevelt slp- porter. He says that mimicking the President is the last thing he would do and has produced af- fidavits to prove that the charges are false.
 Young Hammond's record In the service has been brilliant, though sometimes clashing with the humdrum complacency of his colleagues. And that appears to be the chief reason for his at- tempted purge. He did not con- form. For after he had pretty well disproved the charge that he had rlimicked the President, the State Department still insist- ed that he resign.
 But unlike others who have taken the purge lying down,
 Hammond has filed suit in the
 District of Columbia Supreme
 Court, and 1t looks as if Q lot of State Department dirty linen
 would be washed in public.

An amazing such instance that escaped general attention oc- cured in the House of Repre- gentativcs on the appropriation of $150000,000 for defense hous- ing. 8.
 Prompt enactment of this bill was of the utmost urgency. With hundreds of thousands of de- fense workers packed into over- crowded, makeshift quarters, the problem of housing them is acute jr the extreme, and Roosevelt personally had asked for the $l50,000,000 bill to rush comple- Licn of numerous projects.
 The House Appropriations com- mittee quickly approved the meas urc and shot 1t to the Rules com mittec for a rule to place 1t be- fore the House for immediate ac- ton. But in the Rules commit tee this emergency bill struck a mysterious snag.
 Something stalled 1t for ten days, while Army, Navy and De- fense officials tore their hair in helpless rage; and while legions of defense workers and their families shivered in unsanitary shelters. The story behind this delay borders on the fantastic.
 Mighty Iceman
 A Pascagoula, Mississippi, ice- man was the cause of 1t all His name is H. r. Gautier and he, plus his Congressman, William M. Colmer, were able to block the urgent bill affecting scores of communities and thousands of men.
 The story goes back several months, when the Navy began buying land in PascagOula to erect housing project for shipyard workers. Some of the needed property belonged to Gautier, who was willing to sell but who had fancy ideas about price.
 So the Navy instituted con- demnation proceedings, and & federal court fixed the price of Gautier's land at considerably

Despite the severity of the snow-stornls that we have had in March the city didn't have to dig too deeply into its pockets to pay for this additional work And no one of us can say that the city exhibited pinch-penny tactics for such work. Actu- ally the city probably spent more in Jan uary for snow removal than it did in March. This was due to the fact that January produced great many mean storms, sleety and icy, necessitating fre- quent sanding of streets. March gave us two good-sized snoWstorms, the first of which was well removed by hot sun be- fore the second struck.

ALDERMAN WALKER INSISTS HOSPITAL TREATMENT
 NOT ADEQUATE ~p~
Editor. Waterbury Democrat:

Editor, Waterbury Democrat: s.~
 Relative to the case of the in7 jured firemen, you head your edi- torial of Saturday, March 22nd, with the title, "Was This Intended" Be- fore answering this question permit me to ask another, Where did your writer get that idea?"
 Let me suggest that he or she re- read my statement appearing n your paper March goth which is the only one I have made. alSp stated at the fire board meeting that these men needed more care than the regular staff of any hos pital could give them.
 With the way the hospitals are crowded today it is trernendousE hard for the regular staff to prop erly care for those, like our firelnep, needing constant attention. It's iN cases like this that private nurses are necessary. r
 The mayor is the one that brought up the question of hospital treatment. Possibly the only aflT swer to my charge was a sob storys nevertheless 1t seems poor taste.
 have from the beginning and still feel that Doctor Finn was 1Qq percent responsible for the removal of the nurses and creating what T again repeat is the most disgraceflib condition that has come to my atT tention. 2.

hind the scenes someone was always stationed with a great iron hook, and if the act was not good, the un- lucky singer or comedian, right in the midst of his act, might feel the hook going around his waist and find himself drawn back into the wings. I have often thought what a blessing 1t would have been if Charlie had got the hook that night.
 None of us like to get the hook, yet 1t often proves blessing. We can thank God for the times He said No to our petitions just as we can thank Him for the times He said Yes. Many mans greatest success in life has begun after he made what appeared to be a very great failure. and has furthermore occurred because of that failure. We think it would be very pleasant if everything came out in life the way We planned, but for most people 1t would turn life into nightmare and lead them over the precipice.
 Nothing is better for our souls than to get the hook once in awhile. All Rights Reserved

FRIEND IN NEED
(E. A. c. in the New York Sun3

"A, V. I keep an apartment, I pay the rent: In independence my days are spent. I stock my cupboard with Black and White To put my acquaintances' griefs to flight. have clean hankies for stricken ladies Who wish their loves were deep in hades. And yet find there is something lacking: I'd like to send my companions packing. I'd like to be one of the broken-hearted, Cropping about on sea uncharted. I'd like to lean near friendly collar CMale prefererD and scream and holler. O. being friend is full-time task It requires patience gag, mask. If you say what you think your bell won't ring If you don't, your callers will coo and cling. I'm sending, before I'm minute older, For a desert island travel folder!

The3high cost of grain is advanced as the main reason for proposed increase of one-cent in milk. This would be placed on the consumers shoulders. Well, with all the shifting of lines on the milk in- dustry it's surprising that its ultimate cost hasn't been going up and down the scale for these years past. The mere fact that we have had regulation accounts in some part for the fairly fixed prices that have prevailed. But that, of course, isn't the whole story of the milk business prob- lem.

Press Comment
FREE TUITION"
(New Britain Herald

The idea to provide free tuition at the University of Connecticut for the sons and daughters of Connec- ticutians seems doomed to failure. Everyone of course favors free this- nad-that, but the stumbling block Is always the funds. 4
 One plan had 1t to use the reven- ue from the cigarette tax, amount ing to $3,000,00 a year, to hand over to pay the university for its "freep tuition. As the states gen. eral fund now uses the money in the regular order of meeting ex- penses, such an act would be no different from substracting the same amount yearly from the gen. eral fund in the first place.
 We stand non-committal and are not vastly aroused. All we know is that such college education would not be as free as 1t sounds, the cost of living at a college being what 1t is. Board and lodging amounts to more than tuition everywhere.

 Q. Are lay brothers of ths Catholic Church exempt from train, ing and service under the SelectiW Service Act?
 A. A recent ruling by National Headquarters of the Selective Serv. ice System, declared that 1t was tho intention of Congress that such re. ligious brothers were included ir the purview of the statutory exemp. ton of regular ministers of religion from training and service" It was pointed out, however, that nothing would prevent a lay brother from waiving his status as a regular nin- ister of religion.
 e. Is spring-actuated passen. ger automobile that will travel 40 miles for each winding of the spring feasible?
 A. No spring driven automobile can be more than a toy. A spring which would develop sufficient pow CT to run an automobile at 40 miles would weigh much more than the automobile itself.
