Defeated
The so-called Wheeler Dry Bill,
with its drastic buyer clause. went
down to complete defeat in the Sen-
» ate yesterday. ’
' Proponents of the amendment to
the State Prohibition Enforcement
Act are reported lining up for a fur-
ther fight when the measure comes
before the House next week.
Features of the \Vheeler bill which
’aroused intense interest in all parts
of the Stale were:
Making buyer of liquor as
much a law violator as the boot-
logger.
Possession of. liquor and prop-
erty {or its manufacture was
declared illegal.
Greatly iucreasrxd authority
provided for use of search war-
rants in enforcement or the li-
quor law.
Increased penalties and made
prison terms compulsory for
persistent. offenders.
Confiscation of vehicles uscd
for liquor transportation was or-
dared.
The bill. drawn by a committee of
‘state's atlornvys. was fathered by
Chief Justice \‘ilF‘Cif’i‘. The. wide—
spread propaganda zhar was circuv
lated in its support sought to point
out that it would :ivv the nulhori-
ties the Whip hand ova-r illc liquor
interests. ,
In our opinion. the measure ir:
now dead. at for the present
session of tlu- .ln-gislalurr. lls de-
feat rcprtsrmts a \iutory for the
forces of l'ludtl‘uilun and calm judg-
ment in this Slat".
It prohibition legislation has pmv-
ed one thing. it is that. laws do not.
prevent the 2-: vi' consumption
liquor.
The ill‘lrl’ 9m}; ul' Lil‘ prohibition-
ibt is to build up rosin-ct tor the the-
ill:
cry of? repulsion: personal habits
which hc cscousw. ‘
Law, in a dwirlox-rzugy. must b"
backed by UN: l’orcv of public. unpro-
val belon- if can in mode vl‘l‘mttivc.
This has lgu-u proved so frequently
m-rtod of yours. begin‘
ning with lime lzoszon Tea Party,
’ that we wrre surprised that eminent
Connecticut jurists believed an un-
popular law could be more readily
enforced by pulling «air-.1 sharp
teeth to it.
Minerva Dams
An unusual hullm' lo Nor-
walk yesterday.
A local \\ onion. T‘liav. Minerva Dav
vis. a lawyer in her u‘.\'ll right. and
wife of Attorney Lnu Davis. for the
first time in the history of Connecti~
cut jurisprudence. argued before the.
(‘1’. m C
. Supreme Court of Errors in Bridge—
port:-
Mrs. Davis was described as being
calm before the imi‘losing dignity of
the five Justices. Not once did she
waver in her address, emphasizing.
in a. voice not marked by blurs or
nervousness. her contentions of re—
futation. She revealed extensive
knowledge of law. Citing: it great
number of precedents and comment-
‘ing extemporaneously on their up-
plicability to the issue in dispute.
Once she was complimentarily in-
terrupted from the bench by Chief
Justice George “2 “'hu-clcr.
The case she argued grew out. of
a. local litigation and. it is reported.
‘that the only indication given by
Mrs. Davis of her consciousness that.
she was the iirst of her sex to speak
_ in so solemn a place where. for hun-
'dreds of years. only men have plead-
ed for the rights of human kind. was
that her face was stained by a. full.
deep blush of scarlet.
Proof Positive
"Connecticut is geographically a.
part ‘0! New England. but today,
business-wise. is far ahead of the
other'Down East States."
The above is headed “Proof p051-
tive,"iand appears in an advertise-
,mentJn a recent issue of Printers‘
fnk.‘ '
I ‘rHere is another fact. brought out
on the same page.
' There are more income taxpayers
in Connecticut than auto owners,
which is true ,of no other State.
It is said that nothing talks quite
so positively as money. ' .
Despite his reputed reticence,
when. the average Connecticut resi-
denftalks. he can become quite elo-
“quent. This is=because three out of
{guz- Connecticut people have sav-
' bank accounts with an average
'1 better-than $550.00 per account.
’Tho . thrittiness of Connecticut
olksis well illustrated by the fact
’ it: is the only State in ’the Unit-
States where there are more in-

(Hartford Courani.)
Those who are lint-rested in crea-
niation should be given ncw ideas
by the propoeition of the New York
man, a crcamic expert. who tinds a
new method ot‘ preserving the ashes
of the dead. that is to 'say when the
bodies have been cremated. lie

clay which \\ ould then be moundcd
into suitable terms and which, as
he saysgv‘Tor further security as well
as for lasting embellishment. should
be covered with glaze." This glaze.

would be colored.
or course this precess would re-
sult in what men term iu.their short
sighted way a. lasting memorial but
in‘ reflecting upon this it is easy to
overlook the fact that it might well
be too lasting and yet lack some-
thing. ‘Ve cannot forget that Su-
merian tablets of blue clay. first
inscribed ahd then sun~dried or bak-
ed. are read and cherished and ante-

ashes of the dead are to be mixed

in this manner, a suitable inscription
having been impressed before hard—

But so far as plain John Smith
is concerned. and he typifies. moat
of us. why seek this enduring form?

stretching out to such length that
the best of us will qualify for that

There is no general rule as to mar—
ketability. l‘crhans to so} that mar-
kctabllilv of investments should be
between 20 and 40 per cent u ould b-e
more applicable. At that many per-
sons. women, doctors. lawyers, tea-
chers and others might not need
moro‘than ‘3 per cent of their hold-
ings in readily marketable securities
that they could sell readily at ap-
proximate cost to meet an czncr-
gency.
To illustrate, a good Texas road
bond may yield 5.40 per cent inter-
est, while a. municipal bond of New.
York or Chicago would. yield only
. about 4 per cent. l‘he same is true
or a great many small city bonds.
school bonds. county bonds. and oth-
er municipal bonds. All these would
yield more than the big City bonds
because they have less marketabil-
ity. The large Cities, issue bonds in
very large sums. More people buy
these bonds because there are usu-
ally more bonds to buy in any one
issue. Naturally more people are
interested in these issues of bonds
—more people know about them
and are in the market for them.
Hence. while they may not be a whit
safer than the bonds of smaller com-
munities. they do ha\e greater mar-
ketability and the investor pays for
that greater marketability by ac-
cepting a lower interest yield.
Thus in considering marketability.
the municipal bond buyer might buy
a certain number of the higher
yielding Texas road bonds, perhaps
some rural school district bonds in
