Inspired Tribute

A Miami dry cleaner has announced
that Miami children are SWELL" The
tribute was occasioned, it appears, by the
childrens response to the cleaners plea
that they refrain from soaping and greas-
ing plate glass windows, to save soap and
greases.
Waterbury children are swell, too.
Our cleaners love them, particularly in
peace time, when their activities form a
valuable backlog for thu business of dry
cleaners. No town that has many chill
dren ever will have completely impover-
ished dry cleaners.

Intriguing Possibilities

We weren't overly interested in the Tom
Moore Distilling Company's liquid divi-
dend because, by the time excise taxes
On the whisky and income taxes on its
value had been paid, we might just as
well step out to the corner store and buy
a few bottles.
But it does open up rosy vistas. If Tom
Moore can pay dividends in whisky, why
can't Swift pay in hams, Armour in prime
rib roasts, Texaco in Fire Chief gasoline,
Goodrich in tires, American Tobacco
Company in Lucky Strikes, and Andrew
Jackson Higgins, perhaps, in one of those
family helicopters he plans to build?
Everybody can make his own additions
to his list, including those with men over
seas who would gladly take their West
ern Union or American Tel. & Tel. dlvl-
bends in messages from abroad.

WARNING TO LABOR
(Hartford Courant)


1.-THE strike hits the soldier harder
than any Patton incident"
That is the report of the Rev. DR..
William B. Pugh who has just re-
turned from tour of battle sta
tons in the Western Hemisphere,
the Middle East, Egypt, Sicily and
India. DR.. Pugh is chairman of the
General Commission on Army and
Navy Chaplains and undertook his
trip at the invitation of President
Roosevelt.
Applying his statment regard
ing the opinion Of soldiers concern
ing strikes DR.. Pugh stated: THE
thing the boys can't understand Is
these strikes. How in the world can
people strike in a situation such as
we have today? Sometimes they boil
over when you mention them There
are two or three men in connec-
ton with them they don't think
very much Of"
1t will be well for the leaders Of
organized labor to heed this report.
Most of the soldiers are coming
home some day to take their places
In civilian life. At the fore right
now, and probably continuing for
some months. is the issue of regu-
lating labor unions. Already the tax
bill passed by the House of Repre-
sentatives requires a financial &C
counting by unions. If this ques-
ton Is not satisfactorily settled by
the time peace comes. these dis
gusted soldiers will likely support
appropriate regulatory legislation

SENATOR DANAHER'S VIEWS
BEING DEBATED AROUND
STATE.
tNew Haven Journal-Courier)

(New Haven Journal Courier
The Hartford newspapers, the
Times and the Courant, have been
conducting lively controversy over
Senator Danaher's in t e irrational
views. Not only have the editorial
writer's had their say, but the read
ers have taken sides in the letter
columns. In another city, the Wa
terbury Republican has found the
subject too tempting to be ignored
and has added its point of view.
The Times and the Republican
are critical of the apparent lack OF
wholehearted sympathy in the Dan
aher attitude toward U. S. coopera-
ton abroad. The Courant defends
him on the ground that he is
frank and courageous, even If on
the wrong side.
All this adds up to the fact that
the people of this state are interest
ed in Senator Danaher's point of
view on foreign policy, and he is
going to have some explaining to
do when he stumpS the state in
the 1914 campaign for reelection.
The pre-Pearl Harbor isolationism
of the Senator is not reprehensible
but it does indicate lack of fore
sight. However, many Americans
have opened their eyes to reality
somewhat tardily, and so the more
important question is whether an
individual It the Senator, for in
stance-is now any better equipped
to foresee in the future.
We think the discussion in the
papers and among the citizens is
all to the good. Perhaps it will
force Senator Danaher to come out
from behind his rhetoric and tell
the people exactly where he stands
on American foreign policy and to
what end he will lend his influence
in the future.

quite few dates through which we
have passed, or thu ough which we
will pass in the coming year.
An old order is passing, and a
new order is being born. We shall
never go back to the pre-war world
again. This does not mean that the
kingdom of heaven lies just across
the threshold. We shall have to pass
through tremendous chaos and suf-
fering before we come to better
age. But nations cannot go through
what the nations of the world are
now passing through and not be
changed internally and externally.
Changed methods of Transports

"a. r. W.
AnSwer-Im sorry I let the read
er say it like that. OF course no
truss cures hernia. But wearing q
properly fitted truss favors spon-
taneouS cure If that is possible.
Only your physician can select and
fit the truss you should wear. In
some cases, spontaneous cure Is
obtained from Ca wearing suit

Could Not Find Vein
Daughters passed tests and was
on table to give blood, but nurse
couldn't find vein. She called an
other nurse who was also unable to
find the vein, said her veins were
too small. Now my relative who lost
a child with tuberculosis says that
is just what the trouble was with
her child-veins too small :. We
feel much concerned.
(Mrs. B. w. r.
AnSWer-That a nurse is unable
to find a vein does not signify any
abnormality in the veins. There Is
no basis for the notion that small
veins" would have any bearing on
tuberculosis, no reason for concern
on that score. Just see that your
children have regular examination
by your physician. That's the best
prophylactic measure if they have
ever been exposed to tuberculosis
in any relative or associate.

KILLING ON HIGHWAYS AS
p SOON AS BATTLES CEASE

(New Haven Journal ourier)
Justice Arthur F. Ellis, chairman
of the State Safety Commission,
predicted earlier this week that as
soon as the war is over, we are in
for desperate condition on our
highways. Delapidated cars, worn
tires and inexperienced drivers will
add up to produce shocking
casualty list. Are these the dear
old days for which we long and to
which we shall one day return?
Unless miracle happens, they are
indeed!
No one formula will cut appre-
ciably our accident and fatality to-
tails. The approach to be effective
mast make use of several methods.
Better enforcement revision of
laws improved highways
modern highway lighting =. more
thorough training of new drivers
SITTER penalties by the courts
education of pedestrians
more sanity on the part of the
drivers themselves all these and
other attacks need to be made on
the problem.
The chances are the highway ex-
pertS would say that we already
have enough technical knowledge to
reduce our accident toll to the van
iShing point. The chief weakness
0f the flItilra will 1ikn1y ha uhot II
has been in the past: lack of pub
lie acceptance of this knowledge.
Planning for postwar highway
safety had better budget a large
amount of energy for inducing the
public to practice the safety les
sons that people already know or
can easily find out. Unless this is
done, those super-dynamic, CAD
geted, engine-in-th e-rear, plastic
postwar cars will be only death
traps for 10000 Americans in every
one of the peace years ahead.

Selected Poem
NEW ENGLAND FARM: 1913

(Herbert Elliott in the New York Times)
The farmhouse door is locked against the snow,
For men have gone to battlefieldS away
The autumn dusk is rustled by the hoofs
OF puzzled deer that pass along the wall
And wonder at the stiffness of it ALL
No eager hounds pursue the fox or doe
The rabbits steal from hemlock woods, and play
About the great stone doorstep, or they pause
To nibble at the frozen clover there,
And sniff the snow dust in the autumn air.
The farmhouse door is closed against the snow,
For men must bleed in battle far away
The autumn dusk Sits down its silent flakes,
And shy, wild creatures pause beside the wall
In wonder at the silence of it all.

Views OF The Press

allowed to vote in the 1914 elec-
ton, which seems highly probable
now, they may not be too kindly
disposed toward political party
firmly tied to the organized labor
movement.
And it might be added that the
inability of soldiers to understand
strikes is not confined to them.
Many persons on the home front,
are equally mystified and others
are completely disguised at the at
titude too frequently expressed by
labor leaders. Furthermore, every
soldier has relatives at home who
may be influenced by the resent
ment of the men at the front.

OXYGEN DEFICIT AND THE
LURE OF ALCOHOL

Most of the drinking. social, oc-

avoid EXERCISE, work or actave

ally playing the game rather IMAM
watching others play.
Sedentation-the pursuit or At
tainment of sedentary mode OF
life-had come to be almost the
American way of life up to the pc
ginning of the war. Gas rationing
and restrictions on pleasure driving
have brought about no little I'M
provement in our way OF life. A
good many Americans walk, ride
bicycle or skate around the corner
to the grocery store for a stick OF
gum today. Before the war they
would have driven around for 1t or
had it delivered.
