acts as well as good, and makes them all contribute to the con- summation of great ends.
 History, with all its backsliding, is a pageant of progress. Even though the worl dtoday is torn from end to end with war, this is not due to the corruption of the common people but to the perfldy of men in high places. It is hard to believe. that God will make this terrible struggle eventually con- tribute to a good end, but this we are taught to believe is true. After all the evil is passed, God will put into circumstances the core of His righteous purpose, and even these black days will lead us eventually a little nearer to the night.
 God makes even the wrath of man to praise Him. He. uses our selfish schemes and ambitions to work His will. The prophet Jere- miah pictures Him as potter who shapes bowls on his wheel. The clay may prove refractory but the potter IS not beaten. He makes of 1t another vessel as seems good to him.
 We should remember all this in a day when our minds are filled with anxiety lest chaos prevail.

We don't agree with the expressed opinion of the Hartford physician who recently predicted that after the war there would be no more private medical practice. We hope that he's wrong, be- cause we fear that an America deprived of private medical practice would not be the same free country that it long has been with equal opportunities for all. There has been lot of talk about state and federal medical control for long years past. Eventually there maye be some sort of plan whereby medical and surgical care will be made more avail able to people than it may seem to be today, just as we have seen the spread of the hospital plan. But We doubt If the day will ever come when man can't receive his medical education, complete his interneship and then strike out for himself as plain practitioner whose time and whose knowledge and whose skill will be at the beck and call of his patients from then on. It would be fatal, we think, to subsidize the medical protes- sion in such fashion.

The American Automobile Association is urging every city in the country to make check on it's traffic light system. The idea is to eliminate all the unnec- essary lights that are being operated day and night. In normal times there has been 30 per cent more traffic lights than are actually needed, said Thomas P. Henry, president of the association. Well, if that's the case then there certainly must be higher percentage of unneeded lights now, what with fewer cars being operated with each passing day. It might not hurt to check up on traffic lights throughout this state to see if some couldn't be eliminated or perhaps oper- ated only at certain periods. There would be a saving in electric power which is said to be getting more and more precious here in New England and there'd be fewer lights to dim-out when that becomes necessary.

Germans can stand many hardsfips as is indicated by their ability to come back after the first World War and plunge into another one. As nation it has un- dergone many changes down through the years. But in many respects it re- mained quite consistent. That's how we don't quite see how the Germans will be able to stomach the latest edict. After June no more beer can be brewed in Ger many. There aren't any more borders over which thirsty Germans can slip to get glass of foaming beer, because they've subjugated all surrounding coun- tries. So it looks as if Germany would go down minus everything, including beer.

 we withdrew our objection to prosecuting General Electric" was the order.
 General Electric had decided that 1t was better to face one government suit than to have the government intervene in 1t sprivate suits. So it told its friend, the War Department, to throw in the sponge. ..@ @m.... Insiders consider it the most significant antitrust victory in some time.
 WHITE HOUSE BARRACKS
 As Cordell Hull looks out of the windows of his office, he sees trees being trucked away from the park just south of the State Department, and a steam-shovel digging foundations for something.
 A kibitzer watching the steam shovel shouted to the operator: ''Whats going up here?"
 "Huh?" said the operator.
 ''What are you building?"
 T don't know" he replied. "I never heard nobody say"
 And he resumes the business of digging up the park.
 The answer is that barracks are to be built here, to house soldiers detailed to guard the White House, State Department, and Treasury buildings. At present, the men have to come all the way from Fort Myer, across the river.
 Thanked by the State Depart ment, the White House, the Cor coran Gallery of Art, and the lawns that sweep up to the Wash ington Monument, these will be the most exclusive and richly To- cated quarters in Washington. Many a high-powered business man, turned away from the best hotels, would give his shirt for a bunk in such a spot.
 RANK DOESN'T COUNT
 One of the best things efficient Gen. Allan Gullion did after be- coming Provost Marshal was to bring Gen. Pelham D. (Happy) Glassford from his Arizona ranch and place him in charge of the Army's Internal Security" This means the protection of indus trial supplies, warehouses, equip ment, etc., inside the United States.
 Considering the number of aliens in the coutnry, and the op- portunities for sabotage, this is one of the toughest and most iln- portant jobs in the home army.
 To thousands of World War veterans, Gen. Happy" Glassford will always be remembered as 8 friend. He was Washington's po- lice chief during the march of the bonus army" dealt compassion ately with the penniless veterans, set up soup kitchens, raised money to feed them.
 Glassford holds the rank of brigadier general, retired, in the regular army, but was so anxious to get back into service that he accepted a much lower rank, that of lieutenant colonel in the new Army of the United States"
 Many other retired regular army officers are doing the same in- cluding James E. Fechet, former Chief of Air Corps, who retired with the rank of major general but is now 8 colonel The other day Fetchet telephoned Glassford and said:
 "Hap, have you been promoted yet?"
 ''Yes," replied Glassford, "I was just raised from the rank of lieutenant colonel to colonel"

Secretary Stimson doesn't want these big firms bothered with anti trust suits, and some weeks ago wrote a letter to the White House, demanded that they be stopped. Thurman Arnold, he said, was playing into Hitler's hands by nagging the big companies while they were filling war orders.
 Roosevelt, grinning, gave the letter to Attorney General Riddle. Riddle, also grinning, gave 1t to Arnold. And Arnold wrote Stim- son letter which nearly raised the roof of the War Department. He pointed out that there was no use fighting Hitler if U. s. in- dustry was going to practice the same kind of monopolistic, cut throat tactics as Nezi business.
 Temporarily, however, the War Department won out. The Justice Department finally agreed to hold up prosecution of certain cases, among them General Electric's monopoly of florescent lamps, on the ground that General Electric officials were so busy with war production they did not have time to appear ill court.
 THEY FOUND TIME
 But suddenly Thurman Arnold learned that although General Electric did not have time to be prosecuted, they did have time to prosecute on their own another company, High Grade Sylvania, for alleged violation of G. Els monopoly of florescent lighting.
 So Arnold stepped into this pri- vate legal battle and asked that the government be made a party to the suit. The effect of this was to contend that General Elec-

THE CROSS HIGHWAY
(Meride,1 Journal)

(Meriden JournaD
 The Merritt Parkway or, to be correct, the Wilbur Cross Highway, had reached Meri6en Tn an en1-. bryonic stage when the federal government clamped down on every thing pertaining to the use of autos. And the use of autos was paying for the development of the deluxe highway; so what? the nlo- torist has been led to ask. Will the completion of the project have to await the end of the war? It looks that way. :.
 Our Facts and Figures Depart ment recalls that the Legislature decreed that the avails of the toll system on the Merritt Parkway, ex- cept that actually required for the collections, should be used for building the Cross Highway, to- gether with 5 per cent of all money turned over to the Highway De- partment by the Motor Vehicle De- partment
 For the fiscal year ending June 30, 1941, nearly 5000, 900 was realized from the dime tolls on the Merritt Parkway. With the lessened use of cars, the collectors will be lucky to get half that sum, and the 5 per cent from the Motor Vehicle De- partment will be considerably re- duced. Thus 1t is evident that the Cross Highway project cannot be carried on with anything resembling the normal activity, particularly since the Merritt Parkway is still a long way from being paid up.
 The legislative planners put through the parkway plan on a bond issue by Fairfield County of 15 million dollars with the under standing that the state would pay of the principal and make the in- tereSt payments as they came due. About five million dollars of the principal has been paid and the in- terest paid to date amounts to $1,- 213, ,OO0.
 The Cross Highway has been laid out from New Haven, following the

 NOTE: Glassford comes from an old military family. His brother, Vice Admiral William Glassford, commanded the U. s. fleet in the Southwest Pacific.
