LINES FROM "FAITH”
Better trust all, and be deceived,
And weep that trust and that deceiving,
Than doubt one heart, that If believed
Had blessed one’s life with true believing.
Youth, with swift feet walks onward In the way;
The land of Joy lies all before his eyes;
Age. stumbling, lingers slowly day by day,
gtlll looking back, for It behind him lies.
—FRANCES ANNE KEMBLE.
Middletown's second. . . .The new type of sodium
vapor lamps for street lighting will be placed along
a stretch in Middletown soon, according to news from
the Connecticut River city. . . .Middletown will be
the second town in the state to get these lights. . . .
Wallingford was the first. . . .There are also some in
Holyoke and Lynn, Mass., as well as a few scattered
experiments in New York and New Jersey. . . .The
lamps give off an orange glow and are said to afford the
same amount of illumination with a maximum reduc
tion in light glare.... Accident statistics show a re
duction where this type of light has been tried out.
Hot weather story. . . .Believe it or not New York
traffic up Harlem way was seriously disrupted last week
during the excessive heat wave.... And it happened this
way. . . .Draw-bridges across the Harlem River refused
to close after they had been raised to allow boats to pass'
along the stream. . . .There were three bridges that
went on strike and when New Yorkers meet with trou
ble like this, there’s always much fuss and stewing....
The latter was quite easy due to the ease with which the
sun’s rays produced a boiling sensation inside of automo
biles. . . .The bridges affected were the 145th street,
Madison avenue bridge at 138th street, and the McCombs
Dam bridge. The reason the bridges wouldn’t work—well,
the sun expanded the structures so much that they didn’t
fit together again. . . .And in order to get the bridge
ends to m£sh properly they tried to cool them with water
and ice... . Eventually they had to burn and saw away
plates on the ends of the bridges. . . .So you see the
weather is just as tough on bridges as persons.
Monday thoughts. . . . Dr. Francis Barnes enjoys
• weekly half-holiday Wednesday afternoons, but plays
the role of the good Samaritan by taking his little sister
Marcella and her pals, Lois and Earl Coleman, to Mix
ville Pond for a dip. What a happy quartette they are
when they don their sun-tan suits.... Jack Calo pur
chased a hotsy-totsy pair of golf shorts the other day,
but when he went to put them on at the Mattatuck
course later he discovered there were no pockets. So he
had his sister sew five on. Now his fellow linksmen
wonder whether they’re shorts or a caddy bag. . . .
Francis Donahue of the Democrat advertising staff, en
tered St. Mary’s hospital this morning for an appen
dectomy.
Vas you dere, Scharlie? .... Great grand-daddy to
the modern “fish story” is this “grain story” taken from
the archives of the old scribe, who lived up around La
Have, Nova Scotia, along about 1758. . . .In one of his
stories the following interesting bit can be found. . . .
.“Near the harbor of La Have one single grain of wheat
produced 150 ears of corn, each of them so loaded with
grain that they were forced to enclose all the ears in a
ring of iron and support them by a pole; and near the
same spot there was a field of wheat where every grain
of the seed, even the least, put forth eight stalks, every
one of which had an ear of at least half a foot in
length.”
Congrats in order.... The CCC boys up at Black
Sock State Forest—Camp Roberts—certainly can take
considerable pride in their official paper—the Black
Rocker.... It's Just what the doctor ordered....
In the current issue we note that E. Daniels is the Edi
tor. J. Keegan his assistant, and P. Klescxe the Art
Editor.... Ail three are to be congratulated on the
fine work they have done and are doing in compiling
the news of the camp and presenting it in such read
able form under the circumstances which must con
front them ... And we can't forget the hard-working
reporters, either—Raymond Chagnon, Pat Sgrillo, Ray
Morrissey, Joseph Andros, Ralph Case, and Bob Mc
Enroe . . Nice going, boys, keep up the good work.
Mildred C. Dunne, supervisor at Chase Park, and
Bin Cass, assistant park superintendent, Anally got
around to settling their long drawn out argument as to
who was the better golfer at the Municipal course Friday
night. The pair went out in high spirits and brought
along Gladys Hubbell to act as referee. The match start
ed at 7:30 o'clock and at 8:15 o'clock both Millie and Bill
were still on the first green. The delay, so they tell me,
was due to Miss Dunne's employing the ancient Chinese
method of counting. This system Is used extensively in
the game of “Jacko" and “Duck-on-the-Rock.” Darkness
finally intervened and the pair left the course unable to
settle the question of supremacy.
It’s a rare treat these torrid days to take a trip
to either Chare or Hamilton Park natatoriums and
watch the youngsters from all sections of the city dilly

for boys, so I’ll try to help them out. Beginning Mon

Good Might
Mild-mannered Blum, Seeking to Better French Labor’s Lot
Is Caught ’Tween Fires: Resentful Rich And Restless Reds
BY MORRIS GILBERT
PARIS, July 13 — The direct action by
which French employes—“white collar
workers” as well as laborers—have sought
to improve their condition has turned a
blazing searchlight on the relations be
tween hired hands and masters here.
One thing which stands out is the low scale
of wages for which hundreds of thousands of peo
ple are working in this country.
"I’m all right,” said a delivery man. “My boss
treats me fine.” (His boss is an American.) "But
my wife is on strike. She ought to be.”
This man’s wife arrives at the big central de
pot of a nation-wide chain grocery store system to
punch the clock every day at 6 a. m. She brings
her own lunch—a few crusts of bread, perhaps a
slab of ham, but more probably cheese, and a lit
tle bottle of red wine. She finishes work at 7 p.
m. Her wage scale is at a rate of 2 francs an
hour. Translated into American money, but at
internal French rates, that makes 8 cents an hour.
• • • *
Waitress Sets Forth Her Economic Plight
A fashionable tea-room in the elegant shopping
center of Paris was crowded during the strike. Bar
riers between customers and attendants somehow
vanished, in the general animation of the "new days’
which were—perhaps—dawning. A waitress spoke,
with but little urging:
“My wages here, Just like all the rest, are 250
francs a month.” That (again at International
French rate) amounts to $10. She gets her meals
on the premises. She gets tips. That means that
she has about a dollar a day on which to lodge, to
dress, to pay for whatever extras she can man
age (or help support somebody in her family) and
amuse herself.
The girl’s summary of the situation was blunt.
"We can't live,” she simply said, "on what we earn
here.”
Bolshevism, Fascism, Marxist socialism—which will be France’s lot, observes wonder as Leon Blum’s left
wine cabinet attempts reforms? Pictured at a cabinet conference are, left to right: Charles 8plnasse, Min
ister of National Economy; Camille Chantemps, Minister without portfolio; Leo Blum, and Paul Faure,
Socialist leader.
Clerks Get Pittances—Owners Divide Melons
The waitress’ lot, however, was rather luxuri
ous compared to the ordinary unskilled em
ploye in a big Paris store. Women’s wages are
250 francs a month, men’s 100 francs more. There
are no tips, but there is a small commission on
what they sell, above a certain amount. Maybe
they double, even triple, their wages in this way.
(These, of course, are not expert salesmen in the
luxury trades, but common, run-of-the-mill sales
girls and salesmen in the big popular-priced ba
zaars.)
Meanwhile, the big department stores have
never been a losing business for directors, own
ers, and share-holders. One such owner (the mas-,
slve concern has been a family venture for sev
eral generations) has always counted on an Aver
age profit in distributed and undistributed divi
dend of 35 per cfcnt of the gross receipts year
after year. To the small closed group of stock
holders, for years there has been a split-up of 800
million francs a year.
Echo From the French Revolution of 1193
Hence, the reforms which the Blum cabinet
asked recently of the French parliament— laws reg
ulating the 40-hour week, rates of wages, the right
of collective bargaining, and vacation-wlth-pay priv
ileges for workers—seem to be very moderate con
Bidering the condition! under which French email
employees hove been working France has never un
derstood or applied the American principle! of pro
fit-sharing, of generous division of profits, of "mtllr
from contented cows". French capitalism has al
ways been, humanly speaking, more ruthless than
American capitalism. Hence, the comparatively
greater unity of protest recently witnessed In the
French national strike.
These considerations bring up the question: Will
France be able to settle her domestic problems un
der the present quasi-socialist management, orwlll
Leon Blum be, as has often been predicted here
recently, a French Kerensky, paving th way tor
Bolshevismf
It is noticeable that at all his meetings, Blum
Is the mildest citlsen present.
Zymrowskl, granlte-llke extreme-left-wing So
cialist, was cheered to the echo, the other night In
the Salle Japy, while Blum's reasonable, InteUec
ual oration was mildly applauded. The 8000 so
cialist, was cleared to the echo the other night to
vengeance. Even more loudly sung was the old
••Carmagnole," to which the French Revolution
danced In 1703 while the tumbrils rolled to the guil
lotine.
Outcome of Blum Berime b Blr Pussle
Can the "People’s Front,” stemming from the
mild liberal “Radical Socialists” up to, but not nl
cludlng, the Communists, hold the masses In check?
Can Blum continue to pave the way for Marxian
socialism, while keeping faith with his moderate sup
porters? Or will the march of events and the pres
sure of the populace produce a new communist-rev
olution In France?
And, during all this commotion, will the right
wing groups, the still powerful, rich and determined
enemies of the present regime, take It lying down?..
Those are the profound problems which trouble
Paris and France during this critical summer.

JAMBOREE SCOUTS
AT NIAGARA FALLS
Substitute Bus Arrives in
Time for Visit to New
York State
Local Jamboree troop members
are on their way to Niagara Falls
today, it was announced at Boy
Scout headquarters this morning. A
diary of the events of last Friday,
compiled by Ray Cummings, scribe
of the troop, has also been received
at local headquarters. The letter
sent from Camp Coolidge in Ver
mont on Saturday read as follows:
July 10, 1930.
We were awakened today by a
bomb set off by the scoutmaster, and
revielle by the bugle. We did not
mind, however, because we found a
new bus waiting for us. The com
pany had sent the new bus up and
it had arrived during the night. Af
ter marveling at the bus for some
time, we found time to eat a good
meal and proceed on our way. Oreat
satisfaction was shown in the new
bus both for room and for com
fort. Although the sky was full
of clouds when we got up, before
we had traveled one half an hour
the sun came out and showed prom
ise of a perfect day. The mountains
are now left behind and giving way
to the plain* of northern New York.
Our first real stop of the day was
at Glen Falls, N. Y., where several
purchases were made. We enter
tained the Olen Falls folks with
some songs and selections by our
Jamboree band. From that time on
we did not stop until we reached
Lake Oeorge. This proved to be one
of the most beautiful stops made
on this trip. We cooled off wth
a nice long swim before dinner. Din
ner was followed by a game period
and then a short swim before sup
per. Campfire was held after sup
Gr, songs and plays being the high
hts of this period. Then once more
Ups ended another Joyful day of our
trip; our fun and laughs of this
day are now but a very pleasant
memory but another day U yet to
come, and we can be thankful for
the health, wealth and happiness
that this trip to bringing us.

GIVEN TO WIDOW
Commissioner Rules Bal
ance of $596 Goes to
Mrs. McCormack
Commissioner James M. Lynch
ruled today that Mrs. Catherine Mc
Cormack of Baldwin street is en
titled to receive compensation for
the remainder of the maximum
statutory period for an injury suf
fered by her husband several years
before his recent death. The com
missioner finds against the Scovill
Mfg. Co., and awards the widow of
Thomas McCormack compensation
of $11.93 weekly for 60 weeks, a to
tal of $696.50.
On July 1, 1932, McCormack fell
from a railroad car while unload
ing coal at the Scovill plant. He sus
tained a fractured hip and was dis
abled.
The company agreed to pay him
$11.93 weekly during disability, and
payments began late in July 1932,
and were made regularly until June
of this year. Mr. McCormack died
June 22.
In his finding, Commissioner
Lynch points out that the legal
maximum period set for the specific
injury sustained by McCormack is
208 weeks, and that payments were
made for 168 weeks. He orders that
the widow, the man’s only depend
ent, be paid compensation regularly
for the remainder of the period, or
50 weeks.
