Herbert Miller Picks the Winner
I see by the papers that this
week's heat has braken several tem-
perature records for the past few
years. Weather these days seems
to be like so many women. so
changeable. But never - the - less.
weather is s. great institution. It has
provided untold topics for conversa-
tion. For instance. "Hot today. ain't
it?" or "Hot enough for you?" Now
there is. in so many words. a lot of
tommyrot. What in thunder is the
use of saying those things? When
I’m hot. I'm hot; I don't have to be
reminded of it. Still in all if it
weren't for the weather I'd be lost
a lot of times myself. We don't
have Berlenback - Delaney fights
every week. Of course. last week. a
taxi conversation cue could be:
what do you think Delaney's
chances are?" But even that has
its drawbacks. Last week I asked
Herbert Miller that question. and he
answered: “Tom Mix; he's my fa-
vorite." Well what can be done
about it?
Raymond Know How.
To get back to the heat. though.
(who can keep away from it?). it
certainly wreaks havoc around here.
There seems to be that sluggish.
slow. easy motion which character-
izes the action of a. steam roller. I
won walking along Main street this
morning. and everywhere there was
that dull. monotonpus feeling. I saw
"Doc" Byxbee talking to Charles H.
Dillworth. "Doc" had that "catch
me in your arms. dear. I feel like
sleeping" attitude. and Charles Dill-
worth’s perspiring brow seemed to
cek forth its answer of “Same heres
The heat s a p p e d everybody s
hatrength. but there was one man
who held his own. He had more
life than anybody. He was full of
vim and vigor. Life and vivacious-
ness were pouring out of his unwilt-
ed collar and his unmoistened fore-
head. That man was LeGrsnd Ray-
mond. undertaker.
Mr. Swariz Orders A Raspberry
Soda fountains are crowded to ca-
pacity with perched persons per-
spiring profusely. The heat drives
them to drug stores or io'some such
sliniiar vices. The funny thing about
the drug stores is that the clerks
seem hotter than the persons who
come in to be refreshed. In Still-
son-Powell's. on South Main street.
Christian Swartz is a frequent visit-
or. His favorite is s. raspberry soda,
and he has a standing order there.
He has trained the personnel there
to such an extent that he does not
even have to isms his drink any

the clerk spies him. and remembers
the connection. “Raspberry. . Mr.
Swartz?" and so everything is ac-
complished without so much as an
exchange of words. unless Mr.
Swartz gives out his usual gracious
“Good morning." or “Good after-
noon."

Hyatt Gets $100 For An Idea
William Hyatt, pressman in the
Evening Sentinel is not affected very
much by the weather these days.
He has too many other interests.
Just the other ray he received no-
tice from a California mail-order
house that he had been elected a
director of that firm. His salary is
said to be 8700. which he will col-
lect at irregular intervals. The first
payment was made this Week, and
it is not known when the second one
will be forthcoming. He was ap-
pointed director in recognition of an
idea he copyrighted recently on the
best way to guess the number of
is seeds in an orange. This morning
Hyatt would make no statement to
me regarding his new position. But
he did declare that in his work it
will be largely a. matter of appeal.
He did not specify what kind of ap-
peal. but it. is said that it will be
orange. Monday he will join the
Danbury News.
More Ideas
Nobody is giving away $700 bills
- for ideas around here. Lots of
eople have different ideas about
different things. but they don't get
paid for them. No sir, why some-
times they even have to pay for ex-
pn-ing them. Rhinelanddr had an
idea he liked Alice Jones. He told
her so. My. oh my. look what that
him. That's the story on ideas.
can't tell what is going to hap-
‘ Just as Simon Golden. _ the

is mealy advice. Well. if there

nous (AP).—-l'ascist m1
presents a threat to the peace of
Italy and America
The best way for Americans to
understand Fascist Italy. the Pre-
mier said. is through a comparison
with their own country. “Paradoxi-
cal as it may seem," he added,
“there is a. distinct resemblance be-
tween the development of Italy dllr.
ing the last decade and the United
States during the second half of the
nineteenth century.
"Despite the tremendous differ-
ences in the historical traditions and
temperaments of the two peoplu.
there is s. clear parallel. for ex-
ample. befween your Civil War and
our recent economic civil war. The
doctrine of states rights, prevalent
before your Civil War. carried to the
extreme in the theory that the states
had the right to secede from the
Union. resembled the doctrine
prevalent in Italy before the advent
of Fascismo, of class. self-defense
and regional autonomy.
“In the United States it was nec-
essary to fight a frightfully destruc-
tive war to affirm. the authority of
the federal government. while we.
were able. with a. comparatively:
bloodless struggle. to affirm the au-
thority of the Central State organ-
ism.
“Tho American government re-
sembles the Fascist state more than
any liberal democratic government
of Europe. Popular sovereignty is
tempered by strong governmental
authority. L'niversaisuffrage elects
the government. but" cannot inter-
fere with its work. as is unfortu-
nately the case in European demo-
oracles.
"Your pioneering period neces-
sarily produced imperialism. So
must ours. The difference in type
between“ ms: imperialisms is cx-J
plained by certain fundamental dif-
ferences between the two nations
and peoples. America had a tradi-
tion of freedom. Italy has one of
enslavement to foreigners. America
was protected by her isolation, was
overflowing with natural riches.
while Italy was poor in law and ma-
terials. America had a vast terri-
tory sufficient for all her people.
while Italy's surplus man power
must emigrate." .
"We are thirsting for the power
the riches and the prosperity so long
denied us." the Fascist Premier told
the correspondent for The Associated
Press. "but our imperialism presents
no threat to the world's peace. Sure-
ly the Americanflpeople. whose com-
mercial and economic empire
stretches over the whole world. can
understand and sympathise with
young Italy's needs to expand cul-
turally and economically beyond her
borders."
Discussing the need for mutual
understanding between Italy and the
United States. the Premier said that
the American Government resembl-
ed the Fascist State more than any
of the liberal democratic Govern-
ments of Europe.
When Premier Mussolini was ask-
ed to state the precise meaning of
his oft repeated phrase. "Italy's un-
deniable colonial rights." and to
tell exactly how he intends to sch-l
leve the fruition of them. he de-u
elared:
“Our colonial aspirations do not
constitute a menace for any one.
Italy asks only what is indispensable
to her and what it is just that she
have. It is certain that she will ob-
tain fulfillment of these desires by a
policy of peace and friendly estee-
mentshsince no nation would want
to alums the grave responsibility
of obstructing the achievement of
such legitimate and. in reality. such
unexcessivs aspirations."

Connecticut Child Welfare
Records
Social Welfare snoopers received
a little setback this week when per-
mission to search state records of
illegitimate births was denied the
Connecticut Child Welfare associa-
tion by State Health Commissioner
Stanley H. Osborn. The latter's ac-
tion was tsken upon the advice of
Attorney General Healy.
Mrs. Edith Valet Cook of New
Haven. executive secretary of the
Child Welfare ussociation. has been
‘notified of the decision in the fel~
lowing letter from Commissioner
Osborn:
“My dear Mrs. Cook:
"1 have taken up with the attorney
general the question contained in
your letter of July first. in which
you requested pennlssion to study
the records of this department in
making a search of illegitimate
births. The attorney general has
ruled that this department should
not open these records to a. private
association and accord! I will
not be able to make on. records
available to the Connecticut Child
Welfare association."
The Child Welfare association re-
quested permission several weeks ago
to examine the records in question.
Commissioner Osborn said ,yester-
day. and he gave investigators of
the association access to the de-
pertinent files. The commissioner
had gained the impression. he said.

that the association simply wanted
statistics on the subject. although
he was sure there was no intention
to mislead him.
When the commissioner found
that the investigators were writing
down the names of all the illegiti-
mate children born within the year
1923, he questioned his right to
give out such information and stop-
ped the investigators' search while
he sought legaladvice from the at-
torney general. It is underdiood that
the investigators came to the health
department with a. supply of large
blanks upon which detailed infor-
mation was written.‘ As children
born in that year who lived are new
about i years old.‘ it was felt by
Commissioner Osborn that consider-
able embarrassment might be caus—
ed innocent peo’ple by‘a search for
alleged fathers and . others and
further investigation by a private
organization. The records are. of
course. available without question, to
appropriate public officials.
The state health department some
time ago adopted the policy of with-
holding birth certificate information
from commercial interests. These
interests. Dr. Osborn said.‘ usually

which, the commissioner explained,
