 State Capitol, Hartford, June A. Sharp-edged parodies of several well known songs were sung by legisla- tors last night and today as they prepared for adjournment. The parodies were first sung during recess Monday night by Reps. Frank Barlow and Samuel Counsell, North Stonington Republicans, and they quickly became favorites with other legislators. One IS to the tune of i've Been Working on the Railroad" and goes like this:

New York Finds Skyscraper Roof Safer Than Inside Rooms During An Air Raid
By NEA Service

By NEA Service
 New York - It's safer to be on the roof of Q high building during an air raid than on the lower floors,
 This is one of the startling con- cluslons that came to light as New York, undoubted objective of any lightning NaEl attack on the Western Hemisphere, prepares to face any emergency,
 Few of the plans which Mayor LaQuardia and his administration have worked out have yet been made public. But 6 myriad of committees has been at work for many months and has blueprint cd the skeletons on which will be hung the detailed plans for civil- ian protection.
 As early as 1888, following the hurricane which huffed and puff cd disaster down the whole northeast coast, Mayor Laduar- dia established Q permanent Dis- aster Control Beard. Even be- for the outbreak of war only Q year later, the Board had taken stock of the city's vital utilities and made plans for their emerg- ency use.
 POLICE ESTABLISH
 DISASTER CONTROL FORCE
 Subsequently the Police Depart ment established 6 Disaster Con. trol Force. At present 1t consists of some 1900 men who have been thor ouhgly trained in everything from control of crowds and first aid to the reconstruction of communica- tons lines. In addition, the entire police force has been receiving spe- cial instruction in civilian protec- ton problems.
 On the Mayors advice, the Fire Department last fall sent repre- sentatiyeg to London to study the problem of incendiaries under the hot, fiickering light of fires they had started.
 Tn addition to these basic steps, plans are being made by the other city departments -- including sur. veys of evacuation facilities. Representatives of the city are also attending lectures on Aerial Bombardment Protection" at New York Univedsity. It is from this course that teh surprising conclu- sion about the safety of Skyscraper roofs is drawn.

Our Form of Government

Said Ills Emminence, We should not try to impose our govs ernment on the whole world. Many of the people in those other countries know perfectly well what the American form of goy- ernment is and most of them don't want 1t. Said he, America should not run around to every- body's fire, trying to extinguiSh the blaze, and come back and find It's own home in ruins. His E'm- minence said that his opposition to our envolvement was entirely compatible with his love Of couitl. try. He dwelt upon the fact that to mention peace nowadays is al- most to bring down upon your head . torrent of abuse, and ques- toned If that was only hysteria and if such an attitude was ra- tional.
 The Mood of the People
 People are in such 6 mood, such 8 tense mood" said he, that they fly of the handle for iloth- ing ct all, which is no doubt due to the madness of war, and for that reason one has to be doubly on his guard and keep cool, keep calm and keep reasonable and cool. The war to end wars. How lovely and glib that sounds on the tongue. What Q crime to deceive the people. What Q criinel To play on the faith and trust of the people iii those who govern them. To bring about what? To bring about disunion, confusion, and lit- tic by little the loss of everything they hold dear, the loss of their own children, the loss of their own possessions, the loss of their civil rights! "The convention adopted Q resolution calling upon President Francis Delano Roosevelt to abide by the promise he gave in Boston on October 90, i040, in which he declared his positive policy of non- intervention in foreign wars. An- other resolution was also adopted deploring Mrs. Roosevelt's sugges- ton to draft American women and girls.
 The statement of one of the ra- dio commentators that America should not only wipe out Naziism from the world, but also socialism wherever found, is a gage of the extent of the hysteria that has spread like 6 devouring flame through the country.

Disarmament

Quincy Wright, one of the best known authorities on interna- tional law, of the Department of Political Science, of the Univer- sity of Chicago in his recent book on "TF1e Causes of War and the Conditions of Peace" speaking on disarmament says, Tt Is often said that disarmament cannot affect the frequency of war because people will fight with fists or with clubs if they are denied superior weapons" That undoubtedly is true. Wars may develop between d!sarmed people, but that, think, does not prove that they might not be less frequent or less dis tructive. Undoubtedly the char acter of armaments will affect the frequency of war. If armamentS are of such character that both countries are pretty sure to de- stroy each other, they will be less likely to go to war than if they are of 6 character so that each of them feels 1t has a chance, with comparatively slight expense, to win a victory. As law must be hostile to violence, so organization must restrain internal conflict. Parliaments, administrative and conciiiatory bodies, as well as courts, are used in all states so that all conflicts may be settled before they can diSrlipt the state or degenerate into violence. The same processes can be observed in the community of nations.

-Gibbon Runs About on Two Leos

"Hoolock!' Such gibbons live in
Thailand and Sumatra, and have
the special name of "Hoolocks. :"
When they cry out in chorus, we
might almost think they were sing
ing. They have their chorus at
sunset as we'll as at dawn.
Gibbons live chiefly on plant food.
They are fond of fruit and also
eat young shoots. Now and then
they invade the nests of birds and
eat the little ones. A gibbon swing
ing through the air has been known
to capture bird on the wing.
Gibbons are shy, and usually keep
away from people. Yet they make
good pets when they are captured.
They are gentle, and will not at
tack their masters.
Most gibbons have black or gray
fur. The fur of some of them turns
white as they grow older.
