of a few things, Congress, the President, the politicians worked together to raise the prices of others-chiefly farm goods. And while the prices of some things were checked, the price level as g whole rose.
 Wholesale prices are now about l2 per cent higher than they were a year ago. But a large group of commodities involved in defense pro- duction are 45 per cent higher. This is spreading and the tempo of the rise is increasing. wages are rising, transportation costs are rising, pro- fits are rising and the whole vicious circle is getting into full swing.
 As to prices, therefore, the proper course Is to declare a ceiling over all prices-raw materials, finished products and wages. Then adjust ments can be made 8 rapidly as possible, but meantime the rise will be temporarily halted.
 But only temporarily, since .noth- ing can be done until the cause is reached-the pumping of more dol- lars into the blood stream. How can this be done?
 1, The government must raise the money for the defense effort by taxation instead or bank borrowing. This will mean serve and sacriflcial

Chicago, III, July SO.- By increas- ing the tax on medicinal alcohol from s6.70 to ST.60 per wine gallon, the government Is defeating its own program to lower the cost Of medi- cal care, declared John w. Dargavel, Executive Secretary of The Nationai Association of Retail Druggists. The proposed increase Is the more de- plorable because past experience has shown that the government will get less revenue from the higher rates, he added. When alcohol becomes too dear, there Is increasing resort to untaxed substitutes.

Berry picking

SAA S~AAA@@~ 6eCIy plCklIlB time Is. here again. South Britain . is especially noted for extra large and plentiful blackberries. On the State Farm, in the Purchase, wild blackberries are growing faster than agricultural crops. In Flagg Swamp. along the pasturelands near the Shepaug, and in Peace ful Valley, you can pick bushels of this essential fruit.
 Blackberries are stomach filters with added energy. They make the best jam on earth. Blackberry brandy has saved the life of many a man who ran out of felt boot cider. Served in small doses, this brandy will enthuse the Ladies Aid, the Red Cross, or any other group of seamstresses. England hasn't heard about 1t yet, 50 we keep most of the blackberry brandy output at home.
 Stomach misery, caused by the heat, responds immediately to the moderate doses of this supreme fluid. Lots of people get this sum- mer malady just for an excuse to tap the brandy jug. It will cure green apple Stomach-ache, poison ivy, flat feet, or lumbago. We've seen cripple throw away his crutcheS after the second or third glass.
 Again, we hear the usual cont plaints about doctors without our Connecticut licenses supervising the care of children in fresh air camps. Failure to report measles at camp in eastern Connecticut bought down the law on Jewish camp owners and physicians at Gardner Lake. If those camp en- thusiasts had just stocked up on blackberry brandy, not a word about sanitary conditions would have reached the outer world. A swig of this potent fluid would have chased all illness away.
 We hear that the new defective hospital has a flag pole. That is a step in the right direction. Nothing will add more to the up- lift and rehabilitation of the in- mates than the display of the flag of the United States. Such action also complies with the law.

Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON W. BURGESS.

Most OF the Warbler family had
moved on North. and Peter Rabbit
had been so interested in the affairs
of others of his feathered friends
that he had quite forgotten them.
Then one day. when he was in the
Green Forest, where the spruce
trees grow, he stopped to rest. This
particular part OF the Green Forest
was low and damp. From many of
the trees gray moss hung. making
the trees look much older than they
were. Peter was staring at bunch
Of this moss without thinking any
thing about 1t, when suddenly a
little bird disappeared in it. AT
least, that is what Peter thought.
But it was all so unexpected that
he couldn't be sure that his eyes
hadn't fooled him.
OF course, right away he became
very much interested in that par
ticular bunch Of moss. He stared at
it very hard At first 1t looked no
different from dozen other
punches, but presently he noticed
that it was a little thicker than
the others, as If some one had
woven it together. He hoped OF to
one side that he might see it better.
"As sure as I live, there's a little
round hole in that bunch of moss"
muttered Peter. and blinked and
looked very hard indeed to make
sure. A minute later there was no
doubt at all, for a little feathered
head was poked out and then a
dainty mite of a bird few down
and lighted close to Peter. 1t was
one of the smaller members Of the
Warbler family
"Sprite!" cried Peter joyously, and
as he looked at Sprite he couldn't
help thinking that there wasn't a
daintier member of the whole
Warbler family Sprite's coat was
of soft blush color. with a yellow
ish patch in the very center of his
back. Across each wing were two
bars of white His throat was yell
low, and just beneath 1T was a little
band of blush black. His breast
was yellow and his sides were gray
ish and brownish chestnut. Peter
knew that his full name was Pare
ula Warbler.
"Sprite, what were you doing in
that bunch of moss?" demanded
Peter, a suspicion Of the truth pop
ping into his head.
Just looking 1t over" replied
Sprite. trying to look innocent. At
that very instant Peter looked up
just in time to see a little tail dis
appearing in the side Of that bunch
OF moss. He knew that tail belonged
to Mrs. Sprite, and that glimpse of
it told him all he wanted to know.
you've got a nest in there!"
Peter exclaimed. you needn't deny
it, Sprite, you've got a nest in there.
What a perfectly lovely place!"
Sprite saw at once 1t would be
useless to try to deceive Peter.
Yes" said he, Mrs. Sprite and I
have a nest in there. We've just
finished it. We always build in
moss like this. I wouldn't trade
nests with anybody I know Of"

Answer to Yesterdays Puzzle
UNCLE RAYS CORNER

On Armistice Day there still are
people who think back to a great
November day in 1918. Twenty-three
years ago JOY swept over many coun-
tries. Peace had come. an end to
the fearful fighting which had lasted
more than four years.
Probably you have seen people "go
wild" at football or baseball games.
They went wilder than that when
news came across the Atlantic that
German soldiers were giving up
their weapons, that bloodshed had
stopped. People left their work,
children left their schools, house
wives left their homes. 1t seemed
that every one wanted to get out
door+to shout, to cheer, to laugh,
to make noise. There was dancing
In the streets in some places.
Then came months when men met
at Versailles, suburb of Paris, to
draw up the terms of peace. Presl-
dent Woodrow Wilson was there
likewise Lloyd George of Great
Britain, Clemenceau of France and
Orlando of Italy. They were heads
Of nations which were classed as
victors.
The peace treaty came to be known
as the Treaty of Versailles.

joined the League, also several other

hailed as a great forward step In
the history of the human race.
The United States signed the
agreement, but the signing could not

Senators voted for it, but a vote of
