Mrs. Alice P. Merritt, state sen- ator from Fairfield, touched upon a leading objection when she said the bill would wipe out the commission on state institutions just at a time when considering the needs of these institutions appears a paramount necessity. The door to the rooms of the appropriation committee, as she indicated, will be closed. that is one way of sav- Perhaps, as the Fair- remarked, Of cour! ing money. field senator pointedly the present Legislature has accom- plished little; but it at least has saved money. That's the main con- sideration when a political cam- paign s in sight. | FINANCING THE BLEACHERS Where there is a will there is a ‘way, runs the old saw. New Brit- ain is finding the way to finance the construction of bleachers in Willow Brook park, and it looks as if the annual football game in the park will take place this fall. This is as it should be. standing back of the plan to finance the bleachers is being actuated by admirable civic spirit; the business men who are interested in whatever tends to enhance the prestige of the city will likewise be interested. The situation is clear by this time: If the game is not played in New Britain for lack of the bleach- ers to accommodate the crowd, the advertising will be of a kind that will be a serious detriment to the city's reputation. It is indeed a pleasure to note the effort being made to solve the diffi- culty through these practical means.

There are many jokes made about matters of this kind; the phras: walk home” is one of those wise- ks which where young women, are guaranteed to draw a smile or a snicker. The busi- ness that the phrase insinuates is one of the most reprehensible that tonfronts modern youth. One reads almost daily who, accepting the proffers of an automobile ride, suffer indignities before they arrive ae their destina- tions. Scrmons of warning have been preached by the score, but the crop of unwary evidently inishes What has become of the chival- of girls never R e rous method which in a bygone day took no liberties with fair woman- kind? What has become of that honesty of intentions and purity of mind which did not seek to take advantage of women temporarily in the care of the sterner sex? If this business of attempting to degrade confiding companions is not alto- gether too common, why the wide- spread joking about it, on the stage and off? No police or court considerations need be shown such violators of womanly confidence, is our opinion. {1t a cure is necessary it may as well be brought about with first medicine, rate APPROPRIATIONS AND THL BUILDING PROGRAM According to the lengthy state- ment of Senator Edward F. Hall, the state has enough money in sight from taves to take care of the ap- propriations. So careful has been the figuring that the outgo and in- come shows only approximately $20,000 during the next two years; and as the money to be handled to- tals more than $42,000,000, this re- sult can be regarded as little less than remarkable. Varjous state bulldings will be improved, but it is admitted that the full list of improvements needed are not to be made during the next two years, this being left to the Legislature of 1929. The New Britain secnator is of the opinion that the next legislature will see its way clear to construct whatever ad- ditional buildings are necessary for Mansfleld and the JMiddle- town asylum, as well as construct a new office building for the legis- lature in Hartford. This not only seems reasonable to expect, but rather sounds imperative, consider- ing the rumpus caused this year by {the information that the necessary buildings could not be provided for at this time, due to the state's re- ‘lucmnce to issue bonds for such im- provements, That is the weakness of the pay- as-you-go policy. Improvements is a matter of making a good finan- cial showing on the state's books. Citizens who build houses are ex- pected to accommodate themsel with mortgages; but the state, when it builds, will have none of this. If there is not enough money in sight Meanwhile the state’s equipment suffers. More dissatisfaction with the system scems to be brewing iyearly. At no time has the press of Connecticut been filled with more outbursts of dissatisfaction than this year, Senator Hall is optimistic about the possibilities two years hence. He says the 1029 legislature in all probability will be able to construct new public buildings without the much-feared bond issue. If that can be done, nobody will object; but there can be no doubt about it that what the state needs by all means will have to be constructed at that time. It is bad enough, judging from complaints, for various depart- ments of the state to worry along under present conditions without the equipment deemed necessary. COOLIDGE AND M'NARY Senator McNary, he whose name has been identified with certain ob- noxious farm reliet ation which the President in his might had to veto by way of saving the country, has been visiting the tem- porary White House at DuPont Circle lately. On invitation, too, as McNary is no butter-in on other men’s premises. Other things be- sides the weather were discussed. The President, with 1 just around the corner, dotes on Senator McNary. He likes the McNary fam- ily so well that he recently ap- pointed the senator’s brother to a federal judgeship in Oregon. And that is something not to be forgot- ten or overldked. Small wonder that the senator is beginning to think Calvin Coolidge is the great- est president since George Washing- legisl Naturally, 1f we think well of a man, we will g0 a long way to please him. Senator Med | pleasing the prosident is 1 a new farm bill of Iy to b s radical” thar the others, one which the president |can sign. The Oregon scnator, at | heart something of a regular Repub- | lican, by this time must be sorry he strayed away from the reservation. Now that he has seen that good things to the MecNary family by standing in with the high lights, perhaps he will be inclined to be less of an insurgent in the future. It has come to the point where Senator McNary is expected to spon- sor the “administration farm bill" 'at the next Congress. Not a radical McNary-Haugen measure, remem- ber, with its breath-taking equaliza- tion fee, but an honest-to-goodness administration measure, a sort of soft-pedal affair which 1s expected to ‘make the farmers feel good | without helping them too much. This also would dispose of the | prospect of having Senator Fess of Ohio sponsor another administra- tion farm bill. Fess's bills usually lose; he has no influence with the can come soil-tillers and t knows it. His time no doubt will | be better employed in traversing th ! country and telling folks that Cool- idge can't lose, a job that he has| already begun doing. Senator McNary may lave a few | exactions in store’ for his support of , the administration in this farm bus- |iness; the truth is he has the ambi- tion to get 2head and to do so in an unqualified manner. The im- pression that Charles G. Dawes will not be the Coolidge running mate during the next campaign is more than a rumor. Dawes at least can- farm element; he has convictions {and sticks by them. He has dis- | agreed with his chief on important issues and the President is credited with thinking some other gentleman as vice-president might be desirable, Here 1is where Senator McNary's static, but it can't be tuned out. McNary would like to be the vi president. Suppose this should happen, and the next Republican ticket would read “Coolidge and McNary.” A goodly portion of our farming cit- ilzenry in the west would fall over | themselves to vote for—McNary. A "large sum total of perfectly sound | citizens of Irish extraction fn the | eastern states would fall for Mc- Nary. What McNary would do to the Pemocratic vote would be con- | siderabla, Congress is not very important politics is being played. The McNary family, for instance, is looking out for the Mec- Nary name and fame; and the Pres. ident 1s devising a method to cool the tempers of the farm organiza- tions. Nothing dovetails so nicely as politics and expediency. in session; but ‘ HOW TO COMBAT POISON IVY The poison ivy season is about to arrive.

A jfive per cent solution of ferric chloride in fifty per cent alcohol, dabbled over the face and hands and allowed to dry on, is a com- i plete suceess when it is used hefore exposure and almost successtul if used directly after ex- posure. A strong solution of fer- |rous sulfate in water may be used the same way and is said to retain its chemical properties longer than the first solution. 1f iron salts are not available, a good scrubhing with hot (if possi- ble) water and strong yellow soap as soon after exposure as possible will usually mechanically remove all the polson, which penetrates the skin rather slowly. Another pre- ventive is to wash as soon after ex posure as possible with a solvent o the resinous tar, such as rubbing al- coliol. Some people get good re- sults by allowing a solution of bak- ing soda to dry on the face, either before or just after exposure. After ventive measures to do much good. In severe cases, great relief s given by bathing the inflamed sur- face with the iron solution and then |spraying or painting the surface with melted, not hot, paraffin.
