The New York, New Haven and Hertford railroad brought us up here via Bridge port. Once more the train was crowded, and again the serv. ice was nothing to boast about. This railroad is a striking ex ample of how financial juggling on Wall Street can ruin sound railroad properties. The New Haven connects two of the largest cities in the United States, New York and Boston, serves one of the richest and most thickly settled areas in the country, and there is practically a steady stream of heavy freight and packed passenger trains running between the two terminals. Yet the common stock is quoted between 4 and 5 and there have been no dividends, for lo these many years. Thousands of hard-working people, lost their life savings when the Wall Street chiselcrs, got through manipulating the Btock of this railroad. Had the reforms which President Roosevelt instituted been in operation two or three decades ago, such a catastrophe would never have happened. Unfortunately it is a case of lock ing the stable door after the horse got out. . . This is beautiful rolling meadow, land, heavily wooded and green as the Emerald Isle. Coming by motor bus to Long Hill and then here by private ear, passed many attractive homes, but few farms. Asked Mrs. S the driver whether she called this Connecticut farming country or New York suburban prop erty. She said both. More and more of the places along the elm shaded highway, are being purchased by New Yorkers, for country homes, while on the side roads away from the high way are a great many small farms, devoted largely to dairy and poultry. "These farmers arc very prosperous. Most of the men work in Bridgeport, at good wages, while their wives and children do much of the farm work. No one on relief in this part of the state. In fact its next to impossible to get anyone to do odd jobs around your place. No one is getting rich but everyone is busy and reasonably content." That's prnhnbly the solution of the tarm prolilem in the industrial East. Shortly after luncheon there were rumbles of thunder and it got as dark as night, followed by a veritable cloud burst. This is the third dav of ram. As there were only two bridge players present, there was nothing to do, but read and talk and take nans. Personally we welcomed the storm, for an anliciuc shop had been sighted en route, and only a threatened flood, prevented a personally conducted shopping jaunt. It's nice and quiet up here, as restful as a shack on the lipner readies or the Ijlino rtppicgaic. n wc were uiuuriuimie enoiigh to have to earn our living in New York, wc would try to have a place like this. Probably in another hundred years, no one wi ivc in New York. With elevated highway systems. extendinsr out into the hinterland, only those who can t af ford to buy gas, will spend their nights, gasping tor air m tnc heat and eternal racket of Greater New York. Took a stroll down Third Avenue last night, after attend- ing an interesting movie on -Join sireei eaueci opinnsii r.iuin. It was nearly midnight, and the early morning prowlers were starting out. Spied two ghostly figures, old men in rags, streteh- intr bonv arms, in the depths of garbage cans, searching tor this and that. They had burlap sacks in tow which presumably were to be filled before sunrise, but at. that cany nour, nine unci ocen collected. Obviously for some the depression lsn t over and never will bel The "Spanish Earth" is frankly a propaganda picture for the Loyalist government, but it is intensely interesting. With a verebal description by the well-known author Ernest Heming way it gives amazing close-ups of the terrible conflict now go ing on, to decide whether Fascism or Communism is to tri umph in that ill-fated country. One of the most vivid and grip ping scenes depicted the bombing of a Spanish village by a fleet of Franco planes. The terror-stricken faces of the peas ant women, their scurrying about to escape the rain of death from the sky, and in some way protect their defenseless chil dren, then the falling bombs, and everything in the picture, .suddenly rising up in a crazy,' indistinguishable mass, and set tling down again, followed by a close-up, of the bodies of two little children stretched out, in a field of debris and destruc tion, !!!

Affectionately, Burton itsscoe. Rascoe and I were new corners to New York at the same lime and for some unsccountohie reason formed a Mutual Dislike So ciety. As such tlfrs usimlly are. it was silly. We met arter many years at a Corey Ford party in Hal Phyfe's studio and In rive minutes had swung out In a figurative waltn. In stead of swlnelng from the ankles. That usually happen to people who form pouts at long reach. They meet and that ends it. at some at an un- nate mo ment, that la all There was a mad dog e:re on and the politicians In the health department were p u a h 1 ng It for all they were worth. So when this unwary old rooster -sought to uphold his dignity by taking a peck at a person who crowded him too much, the "health authorities" had to act. The poor old rooster was confined for two months under the observation of a veterinary, let us hope, lest the rooster were afflict ed with rabies. It happened In Illi nois, around the metropolitan area, where some strange things happen kin the name of. and under the guise of, public health administration, whether the big noise of the depart ment la running at the moment for coroner, governor, senator or Just running. My northern Illlnota scout Informs me that they get a good deal more publicity on rabies tn Illinois than they get on syphilis. They say that ALL ANIMALS have ra bles. ca ts, mice, rats, rabbits, squirrels, hogs. cows buf they lull the people Into a feeling of security by assuring them they will be safe If all the dogs are shut up or killed. This attitude, observes my scout, with annoying logic, is comparable with the control or prevention of smallpox by keeping the girls In a family where there Is a caae con Tlned to ',he house, but letting the boys run Trecly at large The health authorities are so keen about promoting universal hydro-phobla-phobla that they furnish free of charge at the expense of the state, the Pasteur virus necessary for Pasteur treatment to any one who wants it. They will send it anywhere In the state on day or night call, so that any doctor may administer it to a patient without expense. Of course, this free virus from the state may not be avail able after the health Authorities are satisfied enough people believe In the dire and ever present menace of rabies. When that stage of popu lar education Is achieved, the mar keting of the Pasteur virus will probably be turned over to a lew big shot biological drug manufac turers who will fix the price, as they do the price of Insulin. When a victim of aay wound is in danger of horrible death .from tetanus lockjaw the cause of which we know, the prevention of which Is immediate Injection of anti-tetanus serum or antitoxin docs the state provide free serum? Does any health authority bestir himself to see that such victims receive the benefit of lockjaw, anti-toxin? QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. Vague Language. I am 32. and for a year have been troubled wi th rheuma tlam of the heart to such an extent that I, can not work as yet , , . (no signature.) Answer I can only guess what you mean by "rheumatism of the heart," and a doctor has to do enough guessing when he has the patient under observation. Lactate and Carbonate. What ts the difference between caicium lactate and calcium car bonate? Mrs. W. J. W. Answer If you have a knowledge of chemistry you know. If you haven't. It would be a hard task to explain. The lactate Is more solu ble, and is generally preferable for systematic effects. Calcium carbon ate is preferable as an antl-acld in the stomach. Scurvy or Rickets? Son three and one-half years old doesn't take the required amount of orange Juice. He had rickets when baby. What other Juice is nearest to orange. What Is the vitamin In the different Juices? Mrs, R. A. V. Answer Orange Juice or other fruit Juices have nothing to do with rickets. Rather fresh fruit Juice pre vents or cures scurvy. Rickets is due to lack of vitamin D. Orange Juice and other fresh fruits or fresh vege tables contain vitamin C. Egg yolk, fresh milk, cream, butter, practi cally only common foods containing any vitamin D. Canned salmon con tains some vitamin D. Pish liver oils are richest natural sources of vita min D. The more your boy Is ex posed naked to sunl ttht the better he will thrive of course, short ot sunburn. Ultraviolet ray of sunlight generates vitamin D in the skin, and the vitamin D is carried by the circulation to all parts of the body. (Copyright. 1637, John P. Dllle Co.)

A year earlier, when the new deal first bccari to operate, ho had been called in to act as chairman of the petroleum labor policy board. Prom this position he expected. In August. 1934. to return to teaching economics at Antloch college In Ohio, but bo- !fore he could get out of Washington. President Roosevelt Indicated nis wish that the labor expert take the head of the mediation board. So he laid aside hopes ot returning to nls professorship with the comment: "Consider It a command to con tinue In tho government service." Because of the revolving nature of the chairmanship of the board. Mr. Lelaerson no longer holds that office. WHAT a politician does Is seldom as Important as WHY HE DOES rj. ' In this case, the New Deal high command wants very, much to know what the public thinks about the court flht and the senators who led It.

"The motive actuating those patriots In 1787 are the same as those alive In the hearts of all true Americans today." he said. "The constitution baa withstood the searching and trying tests of time," the governor's statement continued. It has held this nation together despite the strains and wrenching forces of civil and foreign wars. It has again and again demonstrated it soundness by providing a govern mental frame that is broad enough and flexible enough to meet changes In our economic and cultural devel opment.
