Harry Sandager was the spe Club yesterday at the Norwalk C was “\Vhat is the matter with Co "Nothing is the matter with Con- gresS. at least. nothing of a. serious or permanent nature. Congress. like the rest of us. is having a. sort of mental convalescence. if I may use that term. from the world war. In the recrudes- cence of intolerance and hatred. in the or. .nging up of so many “isms" that a marked the aftermath of the war is it any wonder that the House and Senate. which. after all. campriso 531 American citizens like the rest of us. has been affected. "Congres is by no means useless. impossible and obsolete. and if it fails to function as well as the public ex- pects the public alone is to blame. both to rits carelessness at times in selecting men. or worse still. by its im- patient refusal at times to allow good men a chance to stay in office and show their real worth. "Of course. Congress has its defects. particularly the House of Representa- tives. The House is too unwieldly. Three hundred could accomplish mom than the 485 which now constitute its membership. Then. too. Congressmen are underpaid and by reducing the House. to say. 300 members and in- creasing the salary of its members from 87.500 to 815.000 1 year. which is little enough. a better clas of men than ofte‘n seek the office might be induced __._.__._.— .——-.._ nus mums ________..._ Declares Public Is .

We find the West and South arrayed against the North in a selfish desire fro power and control. There is going on today an inexorable strugmfor supremacy. the eastern manufacturer and banker against the \Vestern and Southern agriculturist. This struggle has developed to such an extent that New England is slowly but surely being starved out. “‘hat we need are statesmen who will put the good of the entire country ahead of the immediate aims of their particular section and Congressmen of this type are unfortunately rare these days. "What is really the matter with Congress today. however. is that the public doesn't leave it Clone. While it is a fact that in the old days the pub- lie was too indifferent and let the biz business run the country about as it pleased. the reaction from the pre- Rooseveltian period has been too much in the. other direction." The speaker. in developing this point. said that one of the worst heritagcs of the war was the. use. of propaganda by well organized minori- ties. who in late years have bull- dozed congress into enacting legisln- Raymond & Pollard Real Estate and Insurance LIST YOUR PROPERTY IN ANTICIPATION 01' SPRING TRADE 22 Wall Street Norwalk Telephone 772.

Kansas City. is employed at the Market Square jewelry store. It is his duty daily to wind some 300 or 400 watches or clocks. a task which leaves a callous on his thumb says the Six weeks ago. when walking on Walnut street he found a pocket- book. When he examined his eyes bulged. Never in his watch-wind- ing career had be seen so much money. Checks and cash totaled 84.200. The owner's name also was in the pocketbook. Jack returned the money to the owner and the owner promised a. re- ward. "Promised." Jack waited six weelcs. then went to see the business man about it. The reward was refused. The watch- winder "parked" in the outer office of a downtown attorney for several file suit to collect $100. because the business man had broken a promise. The suit will be filed this weo‘k. Now comes the rule working both ways. Yesterday Jack went into the soft drink parlor operated by Henry Cos- tello at 13 East Fifth street.

A few weeks ago I found a pocketbook. l was promised a. reward. I didn't get it. Why should I pay one now I'll break my promise." the watch winder said. ' For 10 minutes there was a three- sided wrangle among watch winder- soft drink dispenser and detective. Then the compromise. framed in the mind of the watch winder. "I'll tell you. If I win my suit to collect my 8100 I'll pay Henry. If I don't. I won't pay." Such are Henry Costello's chances g; collecting a. reward—Kansas City r.

She is Just starting to talk. andwhen Ruth Warren. one of the officers of the Daytime Wives held out her hands to take her. and said to Betty: "I'm Ruth"—-—the child answered "Wooth—Wooth." This made such an impression on Miss Warren that she instantly decided to adopt” the‘baby for the first four weeks. The girls are so enthusiastic over their baby that plans are under way to adopt half a dozen. Orphan asy— lums and the childrens’ courts in New York are intensely interested in the activities of the Daytime Wives and are eager to place homeless children in the homes of these girls. who have been called a blessing to humanity. They are indeed a direct refutation to the masculine contention that all to. males today are rouged. empty headed flapperl. whose only thoughts are of good times and clothes.

He described some of the methods used by organizations in get- ung bills through the house and caste and said to his personal knowledge there were two amendments to the Constitution and at least five statutes the had been pushed through Congress by propaganda. Mr. Bandager 'also said that the direct primary and the direct election of United States Senators were two evils that had deteroiated the standard of the law-making body. but. in this connection he paid tribute "sound judgment of Connecticut" in returning to office Senators Brandegee and McLean and described them as constructive statesmen whose pres- ence in the upper body not only re- flected credit upo nthis state. but was a distinct asset to the nation at large. He also paid a glowing tribute to Congressman Schuyler Merritt. class- ing him with those constructive Con- gressmen who were not swayed by public clamor when their judgment and experience led them to adopts. course of action contrary to the popu- lar impulse of the moment. In closing the speaker re-flrmed his belief in the soundness of Congress as a. legislative body and insisted it was the nearest to perfection of any in the world. He said that as long as there were Americans like Champ Clark of Missouri. Claude Kitch‘m of North Carolina. and James E. Mann of llli- nois. who had practically wrecked their lives in their long and useful public service there was’no danger of the country gfloing to the. dogs or of Congress ever failing to function.
