fl" PAGE SIXTEEN L State Convention NEW BRITAIN. Sept. 0.-—(AP). ‘"The greatest curse to America to- day is the 18th Amendment" said Mayor A. M. l’aoncssa yesterday in the opening address to the fortieth annual convention of tho Connecti- cut Federation of Labor, which op- ened a. four day session in Judd's hall. ' , The convention opened about 10:30 o'clock with President Patrick I“. O'Meara in the chair. Mayor Paoncssa was the first speaker. In welcoming the delegates to New Britain the Mayor stated that within the past year this city has enter, " tolned more conventions than any other city in the state and he added that it is the most cosmopolitan city in the state. 2 Referring to the late Samuel Gompers. the Mayor said he had been the subject of severe criticism during his lifetime but when he died'he was lauded as one of the greatest men in the country. “We are proud of our country." he said. “Sometimes laws are pass- ed of which we do not approve. Then it. is up to us to remedy them. I remember when I was a boy I could go fishing when I wanted to and no one would bother me. Now you have to have a fishing license. you must have a license to hunt, you can't do anything without a license. One day a few Weeks ago I was fishing and the game warden asked me five times in one day to show my license. Finally I got mad and told him to go away and let me fish. One Sunday evening I was digging, for bait in my garden and a game war- den stopped and said ‘iiave you been fishing?’ I told him it was none of his business. "The greatest curse of this coun- try today is the 18th Amendment. I don't think it is fair to deprive a man of a good glass of beer when they are making and drinking whis- key every day regardless of the 18th Amendment. 2 “People who never drank before how are a curse and a menace to . 6 country. The government us plenty of good whiskey to sell to the Germans and other people in Europe for $2 a gallon. Then these people bootleg it back here to Am- erica, dilute it with water and sell it to us over the drug store coun- ters ‘on prescriptions at 100 per cent profit. “It is up to you to get together pg} down any law which. in your up ion, is going to be a detriment to the country." = About 200 deelgates were regis- tered when the convention opened yesterday. V After the appointment mittens had been announccd.‘Presi- dent Patrick F. U’Meara read his anuuakreport in t hich he proposed . a. campaign for tie institution of new unions. He also declared “the old time spirit in the ranks of do- ing things needs to be revived. To- day there seems to be no manifest cooperation.

When the airmen got to the city the streets were empty. All the Rif- fians had taken to cover. it is said that many buildings were hit. and the belief prevails Ithey were de- stroyed. Captain James Vincent Sparks.an indlanapolis dentist. known as the "flying doctor." made his first trip over the lines with Sadi Leeointe. the French ace.

Swings Tuscania ’30 Miles Back ' To Save Life of Stricken Woman NEW YORK. Sept. 9.—~'i‘o the gallantry of Captain William Gem- mel, of the Anchor liner Tuscauin. Mrs. Johanna Artem, forty-eight years old. of 1029 Bloomfield ave- nue. Hoboken, feels that she owes her life. The captain checked the forward movement of his vessel and. steered thirty miles back over his course in order that Mrs. Artem might have a few drops of a neces~ sary medicine. The story was told when the Hamburg American liner Mubnchon arrived yesterday. Captain George Wittstein, in command. described the behavior of Captain Gemmel as “one of the most gallant acts ever performed by a. captain on a. mer- chant vessel." On‘ her way to this country. Mrs. Artc-m developed uremic poisoning and nothing in the stores of the Muenehen relieved her. Dr. H. Wim-' mer. ship's surgeon told the captain that injections of an anti-toxin known as dtxsmin could save his patient. On‘Sundaytne radio opera- tor on the Muenohen sent out. un- directed calls for dexamln. Two, hours later. the Tuscania. headed} east. was asking the position of the Muenchen. 'for in the 'l‘uscania's hospital’had been found a phisl of the anti-toxin. An exchange of messages show- ed the Tuscania'to be sixty miles to the east. Each ship reversed its course and they met in mid-ocean. riding a calm sea in absolute dark- ness. ’I-ho Muenchenlswung out a boat and Dr. Hans'Achellls. assis- tant surgeonuwcnt up the ladder of the 'i‘uscania.’ He was met by Captain'Gc'mmoi. who delivered a tiny pacsksgq or dexamln. The Tuscania went on and Dr. Achellis returned to his ship's pa- tient. Mrs. Aricm was much better when the Muenchen docked yester. day at. noon and went to her home in Hoboken: ' Mayors Gather at The Conn. State Fair Sept. 9. HARTFORD.

A SCIENCE OF OUR POLITICS Speaker Says That We Study It and Reli- gion Least and That They Affect Us Most NEW YORK. Sept. 9.—(AP) Politics is being viewed through the eyes of science by more than‘ 100 college professors and experts who are attending the third annual meeting of the National Conference on the Science of Politics. Round table discussions were begun yes- terday with a view to placing poli- ties on a more scientific basis. "What we want to do is to find a method of controlling political be— havior," said Dr. Arnold Bennett Hall of the University of Wisconsin. who is chairman of the conference. “The two things that probably at- ‘ feet us most. religion and politics. . we study least. We spend millions to find out how the public reacts to a soap advertisement. but nothing t know how it reacts to political p opaganlia- . “Everybody wants peace. yet the forces of war so right ahead. We have not been learning to control ourselves with regard to our behav- ior in political and international matters We have been doing it in business. for business has reduced to a. science the problem of getting the right man for the job. but poli- ties has not. “This is the problem of the sci- ence of politics.‘ This requires sci- entitle knowledge of political be- havior that will give us the key to social control. it requires the con- tributions of psychology. pathology. anthropology and biology and all other disciplines that are concerned' with the study of the individual or the group. » "We breed stock to accomplish certain designated ends. Why can't we breed human beings to fit into the needs of modern politics?" Among the topics to berdiscusscd during the conference, to continue through September 11, are the char- itable activities of political parties. political tendencies among negroes who have migrated to northern cities in the last ten years. the poll- tieians' study of human motives and on a non-partisan ballot. The conference is being held un- der the joint auspices of Columbia University and the National Insti— tute of Public Administration. Prayers for Rain Are Answered ' \ CHICAGO.
