At length, when 1t has grown to

falls may be a long distance from
the place where it was Matched.
Some kinds of sea mussels are

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

There are two ways to spell the
name of a small animal with two
part shell. One way is "mussel.'
the other Is muscle"
Both spellings are correct, but
Almost all writers now use the spell
ing of "mussel7 for the small she'll
ash. They save the other spelling
for the muscles which move parts OF
the human or animal body.
In q corner of the State of Ala
oama there are rapids in the Ten
nessee River. These rapids were
named in past times, when the other
spelling was common. They are
known as Muscle Shoals" The
name was given because of the
many muSsels in that section OF the
Tennessee River.
Mussels are related to clans and
oysters. Some live In ocean waters,
others in fresh water. People often
speak of fresh water mussels as
CLAIMS"
The fresh waters of this continent
contain about 500 kinds of mussels.
Oceans, rivers and lakes of the
whole earth have more than 1,400
kinds.
A full-grown mussell lays eggs,
and the eggs are lodged IN its gills.
The eggs hatch into tiny mussels
with tiny shells.
The little mussels are dropped
from the gills and lie on the bottom.

Three.Year Hitch

The Army is now seeking voluntary re-enlistment for the regular three-year "hitch" by selective service trainees who have gone through the regular one-year training. It will be an excellent thing for the Army If many of the selectees do so re-enlist. One of the advantages of the German army over any of It's opponents Is that so many of It's men have served continuous enlistments for as long as six to ten years.
 No matter what happens the Army looks as though 1t will be large-scale operation for good many years. It will offer opportunities fo advancement, and an attracive career for many who find they like the life, and who may decide to stick with the service indefinitely, Those who do will be a solid core of ad- vanced efficiency for the Army Of the future.

Timely Criticism

The outbreak of Judge Kenneth Wynne of the Superior Court against the recent legislative handling of minor court patronage was long time coming. We're rather surprised that other members of the judiciary haven't criticized the 1941 spectacle before this. It was without question one of the worst bouts legisla- tors have engaged in for many years
 There was nothing concealed about the maneuvers; everything that went on was apparently known to everyone else. All of which doesn't make the means of drawing up our minor courts any better
 As we have said so many times in the past political maneuverings for judge ships and for other court positions detract no little from the very fine regulations that most of the presiding justices and their aides enjoy. A majority of our Con-

U. s. CONTROL OF DAMS
(Meriden .IournaD

There's dynamite in a dam, law yerS have said, taking the legal viewpoint. One went out at Bolton the other day and the usual batch of lawsuits from flooded property holders is expected, to run against the state. This was an abandoned eartherl power dam which the state accepted as a gift some years ago and turned over to the Board of Fisheries and Game, which stocked 1t with 22,00O buliheads and 2i 900 sinners.
 The WPA was mixed up in exten- sive repairs to this dam after it was broken during the 1888 hurricane. The state board for the supervision of dams had something to do with the work. But, most interesting, is the report that the army engineers once in Providence protested to the WpA ofiice that the dam was ''in- adequate" Then, you might won- der, why didn't the army cause the dam to be opened or adequate re- pairs made7 Maybe In the next such case it will. since the army Is eni- powered to take control of all navig. able waters in the name of the United HtateA,

A Long Time Coming

The orders from Washington that all German consulateS throughout the coun- try be closed and that other activities of various German organ2atins, regarded as hostile to our American way Of doing things, cease was not unexpected In governmental circles just such demand has been brewing for long time. Those ln "the know" say that Uncle Sam has been most lenient toward foreign groups operating within our territorial limits. Certainly no similar American activities would be tolerated in any of the coun- tries that have sent their agents to us with bill of goods to sell,
 By and far the Germans have been the most active in this business of selling Naziism to Americans, not to mention carrying on other activities that certain officials have long known bordered on espionage of dangerous nature. This expulsion order may seem drastic, but don't be misled by the cries of those who claim it's merely one step nearer war. It may be construed as such, but even in Germany high officials know that what our government is now doing is some thing that they have long wondered they were getting away with,
 The American public has to put up with a lot of things that apparently come un- der the heading of liberty. But with con ditions as crucial as they are and with continued investigations bringing to the surface the increasing efforts of German agents to undermine us we are certainly better off for having invoked the ban. And we doubt if it will mean rupture of relations between the United States and Germany. It's much more apt to have quieting effect in those quarters where 1t will do the most good.

necticut minor courts are well-manned and are efficiently and judlciously run. But every two years the iflcumhents must fight for their positions or accept calmly decision that they are to be busted. No matter how capable a judge or prosecutor may be his court is bound to suffer when 1t is subjected to political pressure from without.
 Every session of the Legislature in the last decade has been urged to put an end to such tactics as are engaged in bien- nially, And. every legislative session makes some solemn or pious pronounce ments about the same. But what few reforms may be put through are more than lost sight of and virtually submerged when 1t comes time to decide who is to be judge and what assistants he may name. Judge Wynne advised that the General Assembly be no longer regarded as an employment bureau. We hope his advice falls on fertile soil.
