This astonishing story has been authenticated by one of the most reliable and highly respectable house­wives of the community. The home which is on Enfield street was visited by the solicitor for the fund that is being raised here in aid of the Salvation Army. As has been the custom in recent years, the soliciting is being done by members of the Army under the direc­tion and sponsored by a local committee of prominent and influential citizens. This fact is emphasized by the solicitor in his approach, for he invariably states that he represents, naming the highly respectable lady who is chairman and some of the members of the very representative list of citizens that compose it.

The solicitor in the instance being related here fol­lowed the usual formula. The lady of the house ex­pressed her regret that her contribution could not be very large as she just had or was about to make a siz­able contribution to her own church. The solicitor inquired what church was that, and on being informed he proceeded with a tirade against that particular de­nomination. He not only ridiculed the religious faith of this denomination, but was particularly abusive and defamatory of its clergy, repeating old columnies and canards that even its worse enemies have long since abandoned. The lady, although dumbfounded at the tone and character of this unexpected attack, attempt­ed to remonstrate with the man, but nothing could check the tirade so she was compelled to slam the door in his face.

She was naturally shocked at the whole incident, and so indignant that she made up her mind not to let it pass unnoticed. Accordingly through friends, the story came to The Press office, where it is being given

RECREATIONAL WPA PROJECT IS UNDERWAY HERE

the only treatment such a viscious incident deserves— publicity. Now The Press has no objection to this man or anybody else holding such views regarding any re­ligious denomination or anything else provided he se­lects the proper time and place to express them. But it holds that the last place in the world that this should be done is when a man representing a highly repre­sentative group of citizens of this community is en­gaged in soliciting funds for a great humanitarian and charitable movement. To grossly insult any denomin­ation by such a denunciation as this man is guilty of is bad enough under any circumstances, but to take ad­vantage of being on a charitable mission is not only unpardonable, but calls for drastic repressive action on the- part of this committee.

It is not conceivable that the committee after it has verified the truth of this story will permit the man to represent it further in this activity. Their own status in the community is at stake and the course the mem­bers of the committee should take is clear. His re­moval should be ordered at once and a suitable apolo­gy on the part of the Salvation Army officials demand­ed. This community cannot afford to tolerate this sort of thing for one moment. All the religious de­nominations here are carrying out their excellent work without the slightest taint of intolerance or anything bordering on expressed religious difference. To have some half-baked individual from the outside come in here and try to stir up trouble under the guise of do­ing good simply will not do, and it is up to the com­mittee not only to firmly check it, but to see that such an asinine thing does not occur again. Come on then, ladies and gentlemen of this committee, get at the bot­tom of this and clear it up.

Walter P. Fuller of St. Petersburg, Florida certainly is enthusiastic about the future of Florida. He writes as follows:

"W« Floridians have been so busy remembering the Golden Days of 1925 that most of us have over-looked the amazing progress that Florida has made for the last ten years in funda­mental and major phases of its econ­omic and business life. In 1925 the state had a population of 1,263,000. This was at the height of the boom and in the three following years the state lost a goodly percentage of that number. Yet the 1935 census shows 1,601,000 population, an increase of 27 per cent or considerably more than twice the national average.

"It must be realized also that whereas a large percentage of the 1925 population was a temporary,

about 30 per cent of the property is off the tax rolls and a great percent­age of this delinquent property should not be on the tax rolls or is improperly assessed. It is further true that instead of being a hopeless liability the 23,000,000 acres of cut-over timber land in the state is rapid­ly becoming one of its greatest as­sets.

"The Federal Government has sev­eral hundred thousand acres of land in

national forests. There are also twenty state parks and the huge Everglades National Park is in pro­cess of creation. The Federal Gov­ernment has recently acquired 1,263,-000 acres of land for reforestation, re­settlement or reclamation projects. The Panama City paper mill at its sixth year of successful operation is reforesting 300,000 acres which even­tually will be put on a perpetual ro­tation basis so that 30,000 acres of timber will be available annually for paper manufacture.

"The recent perfections by Dr. Charles H. Herty of the method of making newspaper print from Pine pulp gives a high potential value to the 23,000,000 acres of cut-over land.

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE WEEKLY BUSINESS REVIEW

The soldiers' bonus has so far prov­ed only a moderate stimulant to busi­ness, excepting in a few isolated cas­es, according to reports to the De­partment of Commerce from the lead­ing cities of the country. Many cities reported that the veterans were mak­ing good use of their compensation checks in the payment of debts. In New York, few store executives were able to trace any appreciable direct connection between the current in­crease in retail sales and the bonus payment. Some of these store offi­cials expressed the belief, however,

on loans $5,611,000 was paid when due and less than 10 per cent of Florida farms are mortgaged anyhow.

Perhaps the most conclusive evi-i dence of the sound development of ; Florida agriculture is the fact that in 11925 Florida shipped out $110,000,-1000 of farm products but imported i $225,000,000; whereas in 1935, ship-' ments out were $100,000,000 and im-' ports $55,000,000. Citrus is an out-

Postal receipts for the first quarter of 1936 are approximately 15 per cent above the first quarter of 1935 and more dollars of tax money were paid into the state, the counties and the cities of Florida from March

In 1925 only one city in Florida had a Zoning law. In 1935 practical­ly every progressive community in the state had a Zoning law.

Snakes Rid Isle of Rats; Duty Done, They Vanish

Melbourne.—Thursday island, off the Cape York finger of northeastern Aus­tralia, until recently was a tropical, palm-girt spot on the map "where ev­ery prospect pleases and only rats are vile."

In fact, the rats were a perfect pest, especially to the shipping company which owns the wharf and its store. Cats were taken on the staff and paid 84 cents a week In cat's-meat currency. They did almost Hamelln service, but not quite.

Then two large carpet snakes were appointed with board, lodging and oth­er emoluments. By day they slept In the rafters of the store; by night they worked.

In an Incredibly short time every rat disappeared. So, now, have the snakes. No one knows where, but Thursday island has deleted the "only" from Its pleasing prospects.

London.—The Britannic broad-A dig­nity at the studios of the British Broad­casting company has been restored and "that shocking American accent" has been silenced.

The accent belonged to Robert Bow­man, a young Canadian who announced for the Olympic ice hockey games in Garmisch.

He had all the gusto and scale-climb­ing excitement of the American an­nouncer, replete with "here we are, folks, huddled right down In front in the clear, brisk cold waiting for . . . oh boy, what a shot! What a shot! ... I wish you could have seen it, folks!"

It was shocking to the powers of the ! B. B. C. The next day a flood of let­

ters came to broadcasting house com­plaining about the American accent

Must Be Pontificial. So Bowman, an announcer for. 18

months, was gently put off the air, and It was announced that hereafter all broadcasters will maintain the official B. B. C. manner of speaking—ponti­fical and superior to the sway of any emotion.

But Bowman's departure failed to settle domestic quarrel9 as to correct pronunciation.

As long as a town with a name like Trottiseliffe is pronounced like "Tross-ly" and the natives of Alderwasley call their heath "Allerzlee," the tongue-twisting announcers of the British Broadcasting corporation are going to have their troubles.

Every time some announcer calls Dulwicli by its simple name of Dul-wich a lot of infuriated listeners write to ask why he talks like "some bloom-In' foreigner" and why doesn't he call it "Dullldge" as It should be known.

But It Grows Worse. It's even worse than that. When an announcer is talking about

the section of Greater London he safe­ly can call it Bromley, just as It is spelled. But If he's talking about Bromley ID Kent It's "Bruinly." It's the same way with Romford, Kent, and Romford, Essex. One is "Romford," the other "Rumford."

In an effort to standardize pronunci­ations of place names the B. B. C., aft­er months of research, has Issued a lit­tle book called "Broadcast English." A special commission of linguists worked months In its preparation.

The place-name guide is based on the theory that every town should be known as it is to the residents, and it is admitted that there isn't a man to be found in the whole United King­dom who could pronounce correctly half of the town names.

If there are any to contest the as­sertion, let them try out their tongue on Ulgham, Garboldisham, llarden-huish, Hautbois, Piddletrenthide, Punch knowl, or Meol9.

the extent of 50 with such funds were reported to be extremely conservative. Much the same conditions were found to exist in Philadelphia, although retail trade in that city during the week was swollen to abnormal proportions by the presence of the Democratic Con­vention. Cleveland reported that bonus checks have had little influ­ence on retail sales. On the other hand, trade was understood to have been stimulated considerably by the bonus in Detroit, St. Louis," Los An­geles, Jacksonville and Charleston.

While there has been some im­provement in the drought situation in isolated areas, the general run of re­ports from the drought district were far from encouraging. Minneapolis reported that the drought area was being enlarged in the northwest with rain badly needed all over Minneso­ta and the Dakotas. From St. Louis came the report that crops in the growing stages suffered deterioration in areas comprising about half of the State. Cleveland reported that the Ohio apple crop will only run about .26 per cent of normal, while the peach crop will not turn out better than 10 per cent. Ohio wheat, however, is running above the average. Through­out Alabama and much of the Ten­nessee Valley, corn and cotton crops are withering in the fields, according ] to the report from Birmingham.' More favorable reports have come! from New York State, Virginia, I Pennsylvania, and Washington State.! St. Louis reported that grass hoppers and chinch bugs were doing consider­able damage to crops.

The reports from industrial centers indicated that manufacturing activi­ties are holding up well, notwith­standing the fact that we are rapidly approaching the mid-summer period when declines are the usual order. For example, Detroit reported that instead of the usual seasonal reces­sion a distinct improvement is being shown in retail trade, industrial pow­er sales and automobile production. In . Cleveland, it was stated that more building trade mechanics are now employed than has been the case in any period in the last six years. The Great Lakes Exposition and three slum-clearance projects account for much of this. Chicago reported that construction had begun on a new mil­lion dollar department store and a $100,000 motion picture theatre. Twenty-five metal working industries in Western Massachusetts reported 18,024 employees on June 1 in com-

Maya Pottery Collection Discovered in Guatemala

Washington.—Dr. A. V. Kidder, archeologlst of the Carnegie Institu­tion of Washington, reported the dis­covery of "the most remarkable col­lection" of Maya pottery In Guatemala which has ever been found.

Doctor Kidder previously had an­nounced the discovery of a temple composed of three pyramids, which were well preserved, containing some relics.

Opening of a second tomb within the pyramids disclosed the pottery.

"There are many fine vessels, some of which are covered with a stucco coating and decorated with paintings of the Maya gods," he reported. "There Is also a magnificent effigy."

WATER WARNING FOR VACATIONIST

Issue Annual Reminder to Make An Advance Check of Safety of the Supply. While the vacation season to most

Connecticut residents holds visions of joyous recreation and rest, it may re­sult detrimentally to the health of the vacationist if he or she should en­counter a contaminated water supply, the water supply public utilities of the State said this week in issuing their annual warning to Connecticut citizens to make certain that the water supply is pure at whatever spot they select for their relaxation and recreation.

Many people spending their vaca­tions in places not served by public water systems may neglect this im­portant health feature, it was said, due to the fact that they are so ac­customed to using pure water from public systems they take the purity of all water as a matter of course.

Tlie public water supply systems in Connecticut are protected against pol­lution by disease carrying germs by a fortress of safeguards which makes contamination impossible unless all fortifications should collapse at once. Protection begins miles from the res­ervoirs from which the supply is drawn, on the outer boundaries of the watersheds, which are periodically inspected by utility officials, and by state and local health authorities to make sure that no source of pollu-

supply from which it is taken is well protected and free from contamina-tion. The warning of the water util-ties is: Don't take chances on your health just because you are in the habit of taking pure water at home as a matter of course.

Chances of becoming ill by drinking water emanating from Connecticut public water supply systems are prac­tically nil, but it is nevertheless pos­sible during the oncoming season of hot weather to become sick by drink­ing water which is too cold or by not drinking enough water, or in any sea­son of the year by drinking water which has become contaminated after being drawn from the faucet or at the drinking fountain, water authori­ties declare.

In other words, all the safeguards employed by the water supply public utilities, including thorough protec tion of the watersheds and reservoirs from sources of pollution, and chlori-nation and filtration can be offset by misuse of water or laxity in protec­tion after it has been taken from the supply mains. The utilities, cooper­ating with state and local health au­thorities, strive to protect the water supply from disease carrying germs,

- A CIVIC DISEASE—PROCRASTINATION : " On the theory that "many a truth is spoken

in jest," the somewhat sardonic and semi-hu­morous character of our "Entre Nous column last week was based. In recapitulating the many civic pi'oblems that are being ignored, held in abeyance, and in some instances ^(>m-

:• pletely submerged, there was a definite and fix-* 6d purpose. The effort had 3. serious motive * despite its semi-bantering tone. It was intend-* ed to draw attention to the fact that there are

many serious and expensive problems facing us and that we are away behind in the solution of some of them.

This procrastination is now and always has been a sort of a civic disease with us. There has been a continual failure on our part fox* gen­erations to face civic realities and do the things we ought to do when they should be done. This exceedingly bad civic practice has been ad­hered to on the fallacious theory of economy. It has not in any instance, however, worked out that way. Indeed it has been just the re­verse, for invariably the solution, when at last undertaken, proved far more costlier and bur­densome to the taxpayers when finally reached

'than it would have met when it should have been. „ 1

Take the High School for an example. For years beyond this point when it was sorely needed we deferred and dodged the construc­tion of it. When it could not be evaded any longer, if we were to maintain our status with the state educational authorities, we made con­siderable of a mess of it. The result is only too painfully plain to be seen. We got a building scarcely adequate for present needs, indeed it was not so until out-of-town students were bar­red, at a tremendous cost, but when completed was even unsatisfactory to those who supervis­ed its construction. We had simply waited too long and are now doing precisely the same-thing.

Now in that all important problem, a new town building, we will, if the traditional policy is pursued, continue to wait while site values soar and building costs grow greater. The same is true of the other problems enumerated, but the most glaring and the one that resembles the High School fiasco most is the new town

• building. All of which brings us again to re­iterate the conviction frequently expressed here that the entire civic situation here should be surveyed by some group and a plan submit­ted that would provide for the solution of the

* problems in the order of their most pressing need and extending over a period of years. We are far below the average community of our size and status in the matter of permanent pub­lic improvements, but cannot catch up in a hap­hazard manner and make a good job of it. The thing must be done systematically in the inter­est of economy, efficiency, and real and intelli-

. gent municipal progress.

POLICE PROTECTION AGAIN We come back again to a subject upon which

we have hammered away for a long, long time —police protection. If there is anything ap­parent from the recent epidemic of petty, though serious burglaries, it is that the local police department is woefully undermanned. The head of the department found it necessary for a number of nights to call out even the su­pernumeraries in an effort to provide the com­munity with police protection, and at a cost to the town greater than if additional permanent officers had been on duty. It might be well if the average nervous householder of last week fearing an entry into his home in the middle of the night kept that fear in mind when the time comes to deal out this issue of police pro­tection. We have often made the point and we reiterate that policemen are like firemen. At the moment they may not be busy but in an emergency, and that is not infrequent, they are sorely needed.

Year after year the Board of Police Commis­sioners has come virtually on its knees to the Finance Board for the recommendation of needed additional patrolmen. Year after year the Board of Finance has either calmly disre­garded this request or arbitrarily cut the ap­propriation. This must cease. The Board of Finance and the community in general must be roused to the urgency of additional police pro­tection. It is all very well for a town meeting to appropriate thousands of dollars for other departments of the town and government, some of doubtful requirement, but this course becomes fatuous when it adopts a pinch-penny policy as to the one department whose service is for the lives and safety of the people of the community. This will not be our last word on the subject, for we propose to make sure that the buck will not be passed on this issue any more.

And incidentally we have none but words of high praise for the work of Chief William J. Fleming and his force of regulars and super­numeraries in their activities last week. Over­worked and over-burdened, the department has come on year after year in the face of succes­sive emergencies, doing its duty, doing it well, and so doing it that in such emergencies no po­liceman sleeps for several days at a time. This morale cannot be kept up forever. The com­munity, particularly the Board of Finance, can .no longer sit on the cracker barrel on this ques­tion.

character of the issue it came automatically under the provisions of the sinking fund.

At no time was it felt, following the larger bond issue in 1921, that the fixed amount of the sinking fund would be adequate to meet the larger issue when it matures in 1946. That an adjustment would be required a few years before the maturity of the $350,000 was gener­ally realized. The necessity of the action, if the full amount of the issue is to be met at ma­turity, has been hastened by the great reduc­tion in the earnings of the sinking fund in the past six years. Not only has the interest on the fund been reduced to practically nothing, but the officials have found it difficult to get any bank to accept it annually. This, of course, has militated further against the possibility of the fund growing to anywhere near the requir­ed sum in 1946 at its present size.

The answer, of course, is that the fund must be increased, and without delaying too long. It may be deferred for a year or two but not any longer. Just as soon as the town exchequ­er begins to feel a definite relief from the ef­fects of the depression this financial situation should be adjusted. It is either that or re-issue the portion of the issue that cannot be met in 1946. This would be undesirable financing and would seriously reflect on the credit of the town. The latter method of solving the prob­lem would not only be poor municipal financ­ing, but it would not be any relief to the tax­payers. In fact it would only in the long run add to their burden and cause an unnecessary addition to the already large annual interest charge. A readjustment of the sinking fund is necessary and should not be deferred too long.

i A READJUSTMENT NECESSARY : While the amount involved was relatively small, the financial transaction whereby the town paid off a maturing bond issue was of more than ordinary significance in that it marked the virtual consummation of the town

(financing plan which was initiated in 1920 fwhen the sinking fund was established. The (bond issue paid yesterday was the last of the ioutstanding bonds at that time. A year later jthe very sizable bond issue which becomes due jten years hence was issued, and because of the

What The Press Said 25 Years Ago This Week

Finding ourselves in a somewhat rare sentimental state, our sympathy goes out to those two amiable and thoroughly likable gentlemen who head the re­spective local political organizations. They are, if by any means you have forgotten the fact, "Frankie" Sim­mons of the Republican group, and the redoubtable "Matt" Tierney of the Democratic cohorts. As chair­men of their respective organizations, it is annually incumbent on them to do certain things for the good of the party. * * *

Among them is to marshal their cohorts into a solid political phalanx and prepare the plan of battle, de­ploy the forces in the manner that will prove most ef­fective to meet the advancing foe along the entire bat­tle front. Quite a task on the whole, and one which taxes both the military and political skill of even two such versatile and altogether competent leaders as the two Generalissimos herein mentioned.

• * »

It is, as stated, under ordinary conditions no easy job, for not only must these two grand marshals of the local political parade for office see that the lines are unbroken and in compact formation, but they must also use their influential leadership in providing the men and material for the political jobs over which, in the last analysis, all the parading and shouting is about. This is sometimes a difficult, but always, a safe procedure. * * *

It is, of course, not always easy to prevail on cap­able men and women to run for office, but where the candidates of the right caliber are lacking, it is the job of the chairman to provide them, and the persua­sive ability of the two gentlemen in question has been invariably successful. And so it is because an entire­ly different situation confronts them this year that their predicament evokes our sympathy, not that our senti­mental state towards them will do them & particle of good, nor will it do them any good either.

* » »

For them it is "a pass, a punt and a prayer" in this local game of politics this year. For the stark unbe­lievable truth is that instead of an insufficient number of candidates, the supply is so great and growing steadily that it looks as though the greater part of the population would be in the "hands of their friends" or on the tongues of their enemies before the actual period of real campaign activities arrives. And in such a stampede somebody i6 likely to get trampled under if they don't watch out.

* • •

Certainly there are enough of declared or intimated candidates already several times over for all the offices available in both elections without a single addition to the number. But of course this disease of running for office is only in its incipient stage. By the waning of summer it will have become a full-fledged epidemic and then, folks, you will see something and hear some­thing, too, for we have no idea that this horde of can­didates will be inarticulate on their job-seeking mission.

* • *

Now here is where the two chairmen find themselves facing a real job. For of course there are not going to be anywhere near enough offices to go around and to permit a wholesale and unorganized grand rush, for that would be inviting political disaster, for the es­sence of sound political management and leadership even locally, is going about the business of selecting candidates in an orderly and systematic manner.

« • •

That is the job that is confronting our genial gener­als—and they both are all that and more—this fall. It is requiring all their diplomacy, and both of them have considerable of it, to bring order as it were out of the impending political chaos. The pressure on them will be great and not even the possibility of a third party in one of the elections with an additional corps of candidates will greatly relieve it.

a a • For the truth is regardless of third-, fourth or fifth

parties in the political fray, the two old organizations will have to bear the brunt of the onslaught of can­didates. It is from them, after all, that the selections will be made at the polls. The overflow of aspirants for office is accounted for by the fact that it is presi­dential election year and many of our political oppor­tunists work on the theory that most anything can happen in a national election. •

• a • Then, too, there is a sort of a cycle that governs such

situations. The whirl of the wheel stops periodically at a point where an unusually large number of citizens become inoculated with the idea that they are endowed with certain qualities which befit them far beyond the qualifications of their fellow men for public service. Once enamored with the idea they are not a bit modest about telling the world that the town or state simply cannot do without their services.

a • • And so if you see some of our citizens doing some­

thing that they never did before, and displaying un­usual interest in this, that and the other thing con­nected with our public affairs, just don't go too hard on them. They are simply poor, honest lads or men who are no longer lads, trying to get along in the political world. It is just the same old army game. The great build-up is on and the thing is too transparent to miss a single note of it—it is really funny.

* a * • v„ , •.

But it is not a joke to the generalissimos "Frankie" Simmons and "Matt" Tierney. Their work is cut out for them and both being intelligent and sensible know it. No doubt they will go about the job in the most efficient and effective manner, nobody who has had a chance to observe the signs of political contention now, and what they portend will envy them in the task that confronts them. Yes indeed "now is the -time for all good men to come to the ajd of the party," but don't forget to lend a word of assistance and encouragement to "Frankie" and "Matt" in the melee—they need it.

Miss Margaret E. Byrne of Windsor Locks were united in marriage yes­terday at St. Mary's rectory, Windsor Locks, by Rev. J. A. Creedon. Miss Margaret Greaney was bridesmaid and Edward G. Byrne, a brother of the bride, best man. After the cere­mony a reception was held at th® home of the bride's mother, Mrs. Mary J. Byrne. The couple received many beautiful and costly presents-The groom's gift to his best man was a gold scarf pin and the bride's gift to her maid was a gold bracelet. Mr. and Mrs. Jager left in an automobile later in the afternoon for their wed­ding trip, which will include visits to New York and Boston, and on their return they will live in Thompson­ville, where the groom is engaged in business.

Washington.—Minnehaha, the lovely Laughing Water, was murdered by lier brother-in-law. Such at least, was the fate of the br-ide of Hiawatha, accord­ing to new details of the Iroquois legend gathered by Dr. J. N. B. Hew­itt, ethnologist of the Smithsonian in-

certainly was not Laughing Water, but that does not affect the significance of the story which Mr. Hewitt Is placing. st,ep by step, on a historical basis. He is working with details fur­nished nearly forty years ago by a blind Iroquois ritual leader who waa one of the last to have kept tincon-tanilnated the story of his people.

According to this version, which checks in details sufficiently to Indi­cate considerable historical validity, Hiawatha was the child of a Mohawk woman who 'became the second wife of an Onondaga who had a son by a previous marriage with a woman of his own tribe.

A Ruthless Gangster, This stepbrother of the future apos­

tle of the Iroquois was, from all ac­counts, a ruthless gangster who, op­erating with a band of ruffians, ter­rorized his own tribe by the typical gangster methods of today. Anybody who opposed him in tribal councils or elsewhere was promptly "put OD the i spot."

Preparations were started almost simultaneausly with announcement Cleveland had been selected as 1936 convention site, and will continue right up to the moment when National Chair­man Henry P. Fletcher raps his gavel for the first session.

Public Hall seats some 40,000 per­sons. There are three available stories, not including the level below the street.

The area of this hall covers sis. or­dinary city blocks, the main unit being 565 feet long and 215 feet wide.

A Thrifty Way to Own a Home

When one can combine thrift and home owning, it is an unbeatable combination in getting ahead in life. Mak­ing regular payments on a home is one of the best means of cultivating the habit of thrift. When the home is paid for you have the habit established.

It can be proved that by the Building and Loan method one can occupy a home while paying for it at approxi­mately the same cost as one would rent a house or apart­ment of the same size.

IN CONNECTICUT State Has Two-Thirds of Phone Wire and Nearly Half As Many Phones As Continent of South America. The compact state of Connecticut

alone has two-thirds as many miles of wire, and nearly half as many tele­phones, as the entire continent of South America, according to the lat­est "telephone census." Comparison of The Southern New England Tele­phone Company's figures for Con­necticut with the annual "Telephone and Telegraph Statistics of the World," issued recently by The Amer­ican Telephone and Telegraph Com­pany, revealed this interesting side­light on telephones here and abroad.

The American Telephone and Tele­graph survey showed 33,539,890 tele­phones in the world on January 1, 1935, the latest date for which com­parable figures are available. Of, these the United States had 16,868,-1 955, or more than half. Europe hadl approximately 36 per cent of the world total, and Canada and Japan about three per cent each; the re­maining seven per cent were scatter­ed through the rest of the world, in Asia, Africa, Oceania, and South and Central America.

In common with most other Amer­ican telephone subscribers, Connecti­cut telephone subscribers can today be connected with any one of more than 17,000,000 telephones in this country and some 15,000,000 in for­eign lands—in all, 93 per cent of the world's total. Connecticut, with 294,-083 telephones on the census date, had more telephones than all Africa, Aus­tria, Poland, China or New Zealand, and more than ten times as many as Greece, Bulgaria, and most South American countries. Since the world­wide figures were gathered, the num­ber of telephones in Connecticut has increased to more than 306,000 today.

Comparison of telephone statistics with population figures likewise shows the United States in the lead. Here the average is 13.36 telephones for every hundred people; Canada ranks second with exactly 11; next come Denmark, New Zealand, Swed­en, Switzerland, Australia and Nor­way in the order named, ranging downward from eleven to six tele­phones per hundred of population. Besides these countries, no other one has half as many telephones per hundred of population as this nation.

The American Telephone and Tel­egraph compilation includes Hartford with eleven other American cities for comparisons. Based on a popula­tion of 237,000 in the Hartford ex­change area, with 53,224 telephones on January 1, 1935, Hartford had 22.43 telephones per hundred of pop­ulation. Washington led the world with 35.80 telephones for every hun­dred people; next in order among

large cities of the world were San Francisco, Stockholm, Denver, Van­couver and Los Angeles, ranging downward from 35 to 25. The Hart­ford figure of 22 telephones per hun­dred people is higher than that of New York, 20.61; Pittsburgh. 18.09; Montreal, 16.19; and Paris, Honolulu, Berlin, Vienna and Rome, all with! less than 20.

At the bottom of the list among large cities were Moscow, Shanghai, Leningrad, Hong Kong and Peiping, all with less than five telephones per hundred population. Hartford, with less than half as many people as Ha­vana, has twice as many telephones, and has more telephones than Edin­burgh. with nearly twice as many people. Hartford has about the same number of telephones as the Interna­tional Settlement and French Conces­sion of Shanghai, which include a population of 1,650,000 and nearly as many telephones as Rio de Janeiro, with 1,800,000 people.

Medical Author Says Too Many Meals Clog System.

Vienna.—War, racial and national hatreds, economic crises and unemploy­ment are all due to overeating.

Solution of these problems rests with our stomach.

This is the theory of the Austrian physician, Dr. Franz Xaver Mayr, whose recent book, "The Rationaliza­tion of the Human Machine, a Radical Solution of the Unemployment Prob­lem," evoked severe criticism and be­nevolent smiles.

Doctor Mayr contends that we are all overfed and wrongly fed, from in­fancy on.

Owing to Irrational eating since we were born we accumulate considerable reservoirs of poison In our system, the physician declares, continuing:

"Too much eating. Overeating. Too many meals. Not enough rest for the ! digestive system. Our digestive appa-1 ratus is weary and distorted. Our! nerves are poisoned.

"The glands of internal secretion are • abnormal. All that influences our' brains and affects our thoughts. This j poisoning is tlie real source of the crisis within our organism and the j crisis of the social system. It leads to evil passion, anger, hate, mania, de­struction and war.

"Stop stuffing the human body with poison. Cleanse the system through a hunger cure. Remove the poison.

"Rationalize the human machine so that the stomach will regain its elas­ticity and dwindle to the size of a balled fist. That will restore the

It may be seen readily that all those articles, with the excep­tion of the finger-printing outfit, would prove exceedingly useful to a burglar who In some manner had lost his equipment or who, being new In the business, hadn't acquired his tools.

Announcement was made this week that complete control of Modern Home Utilities, Inc., General Elec­tric distributors for the state of Con­necticut, had passed into the hands of a group headed by Orrin P. Kilbourn of West Simsbury, Connecticut. Founded in 1927 by interests located in Waterbury, this corporation has done an outstanding job in the field of electric home appliances. It has re­tail stores located in Hartford, Wat­erbury, New Haven. New London, and Middletown, together with deal­ers in practically every other city in the state.

In accepting the responsibilities of his association with General Electric, Mr. Kilbourn declaimed, "The electri­cal industry is not only a new and fascinating field for me, but it is al­so a great thrill to be back in business in my home state, Connecticut." Mr. Kilbourn's associations with Con­necticut run deep, for he traces his ancestors back 300 years to the ear­liest settlers of this state. Mr. Kil­bourn. himself, was a native of Hart­ford, later graduating from Yale in the class of 1914.

The new organization retains the corporate name of the former distri­butorship, Modern Home Utilities, Inc. Mr. Kilbourn has become presi­dent, J. E. Neily of Waterbury, the former General Manager becomes vice-president and R. Barry Greene, secretary-treasurer. Mr. Kilbourn" i brings with him 22 years of broad experience in the automotive field and the advertising profession. After, graduation from college, he joined the i fast-growing Willys-Overland organ ization.

Health Officer Suggests Everyone Take Vacation

Urbana, 111.—"Tomorrow's health de­pends upon today's prevention," says Dr. J. Howard Beard, University of Illinois health officer, and he suggests everyone take a vacation this summer.

"You cannot afford to miss a vaca­tion," he contended.

"Perhaps you tlilnk you cannot af­ford a vacation because you are too

.busy, could spend the time profitably in some other way, or perhaps you wish to retrench," he said. "Your body and mind need a change from routine work."

He warned, however, that many va­cations are often short cuts to bills for medical service.

Stay away from flies and mosquitoes, he said.

Use milk that is safe—that which comes from tuberculin-tested cows, which has been handled by attendants who have been careful about cleanli­ness. Use pasteurized milk.

He also warned the vacationers not to forget that there were floods this year, that water supplies have been polluted, food contaminated, and the soil prepared for the production of typhoid patients and a new crop typhoid carriers.

Germany Bans Dictating by Brewers to Taverns

Berlin.—German brewers In the fu-ture must rely on their beer. Since the war many of them have dabbled In mineral waters—and even In wine.

Thus innkeepers who were tied to a brewery often were compelled to accept their wines and waters from the same source. Now innkeepers have been freed by law from this obligation —breweries can no longer deprive them of their Independence.

The innkeepers are at liberty to buy their varied drinks from varied sources —which, it is claimed, is all to the good of their thirsty customers. Of course, the brewers may continue to sell soft drinks and wines If they wish; but such sales will depend upon quality and not upon compulsion.

Prowling around New York, your correspondent found himself down at the Fulton fish market on a day when the wind carried sharp Ice particles and the wind went right through heavy clothing. There he discovered Indubitable evidence that no matter the weather, men go to sea and fish. A small schooner had just reached the slip. Hardy, dark men, so bundled up they looked like animated bales, were making icy lines fast to the pier. That done, they began to chop away gear of various kinds. Finally, they opened a hatch and chunks of silver, shaped like fish, went ashore. The masts, the various lines, the stays, the dories were Ice patterns, and the sails as stiff as boards. Yet the fisher­men had wrested a living from a gale-swept and icy ocean and come back safely to port. And your correspondent wondered If any who ate their catch gave all that a thought.

Advertising Talks No. 1.. •.

TotheNon-Advertising Business Man!

Mr. Non-Advertising Business Man, let us talk this advertising situation over frankly. You may be the type of a well meaning local merchant who honestly be­lieves that advertising would be of no benefit to your business. It may sound ridiculous but there are such business men here—and in every other community.

Of course you are mistaken, for all the evidence is against your position. It is possible you formed that opinion from one or two haphazard ventures into news­paper advertising to which you could trace no results and you became disheartened and gave it up.

We venture to say that if you related the expe­riences which soured you on advertising to an expe­rienced advertising man he would show you just what was wrong about it and why you were disappointed in the result.

Now the thing to remember about advertising is that it is no guess work, but a properly conceived and carefully carried out plan. This does not refer of course to the occasional splash and then silence again for sev­eral months, but to the merchant who plans to keep the people in his trading area regularly informed on the lo­cation of his store, the character of his stock and the regular and special values he is offering to his prospec­tive customers.

Such an advertising venture should be carefully planned as to size, copy, illustrations and general lay­out. That is where this, or any other newspaper for that matter, comes in. It is our job to advise the business man on this subject. It is not our job to tell him that he must have large ads occasionally but to point out that a small ad each week, properly written, attractively laid out and set in the right kind of type is exactly what he wants.

Mr. Non-Advertising Business Man, we are at your service to do these things—it is our work. Now don't cast this suggestion aside and get off that old blurb, "I don't need to advertise, everybody knows where I am." Nonsense man, there are thousands of people, families by the hundreds in this trading area who not only do not know you are in business or what you sell, but do not know that you exist, for the simple reason that you never took the trouble to tell them about it in any intelligent or progressive manner.

Now, why not come in and chat this thing out with our advertising department. It will cost you only the time it will take to tell us about your business and why you do not advertise. If we cannot give you a helpful suggestion we will tell you so frankly. If we can help you we will lay out an inexpensive plan whereby you can tell your simple business story at very little cost each week—and even then it is up to you to follow it or not.

Call 50 and if you can't come we will go to you.
