In' Norwalk a cry is going up for lewer taxes and a campaign is being waged for municipal economy. Now a sharp eye on the tax list is a good thing for a city, as it tends to keep down municipal expenditures and to ! promote bfficiency. But there are two ways of lowering taxes, One way —that of inaugurating systems of economy—is beneficial and legitimate. The other way that of borrowing money and piling up a big debt against the future in order to dodge the run- Dbing expenses of today-—Is ruinous.— Bridgeport Telegram. The increase in the cost of liquor licenses must be regarded as a fiscal measute, It will do little to promote temperance or to decrease the use of alcohol, It is fortunate the principle of limitation was not adopted. Limited high license has proved, in Massachu- getts, to be the mother of corruption. A secret traffic in licenses is carried on, unknown to the general public, much the .same as the traffic in votes is carried oh in Connecticut. High license in Massachusetts has not de- creased the amount of liquor consum- ed.—Bridgeport Farmer. Sehator Bree, who has opposed thh peresent ‘plan for the revision of the statutes and the amount which is ap- propriated for that purpose, supports the fight against extravagance which has been maintained from the start by declaring that the work.can be prop- erly done for one-quarter of the $42,- 000, which it is proposed ta pay, for it. Of this there ismot the/least doubt for while he refers to firms which make a specialty of revising the stat- uies- of a staté and codifying them and in making a business of it have developed: a system which not only does it thoroughly, efficiently and cheaply, since, as.he. declares, they would be glad to get the job for $140,- 000, there is just as good reason to be- lieve that there are many men in Con- necticut, ahd two or three of whom would be glad to undertake- the task for a similar sum and guarantee the results.—Norwich Bulletin, "Take away Waterbury's trees- and the city would be shorn of fully half its attractiveness.

He even goes so far as to predict a treeless city before many vears unless more attention is paid to the matter.. No ' one wants to see Waterbury become a shadeless town and although Arbor Day nas passed there is still brief time left in which trees may be planted. But the city must organize a system of plant- ing trees on new streets, and having them laid out to accommodate them where possible. But above all encouragement for private land own- ers to plant trees ana assistance in deing so, provided by a public official who knows his business and is a friendly person with a love of natural beauty. Mayor Scully has another great opportunity here for leaving his mark on the city.—Waterbury Amer- ican. , Relief for Horses in the War, (Army and Navy Journal.) The horse will have to thank this war anyway for having given him the first official recognition by. warring nations of his right to organized re- lief. First Lieut. J. G. Quekemeyer, 13th United States cavalry, explains in the April Cavalry Journal with" illus- trations. and reprints the appeals in the countries at war for aid for horses in service, : Never before has such voluntary help been given to: the beasts as has been extended in this conflict, The Blue' Cross society is a branch organization of our dumb friends’ league of London.

Gaunt mothers with gaunt children in their arms, the horrors of the corpse-strewn battlefields, = sol- dlers binding up the wounds of their comrades, woman crucified, all tho depresflng and none of the inspiring aspects of war are seen in the exhibi- tion rooms, ' which bear a curious resemblance to the crowded alleyvs of Pere Lachaise without the tin wreaths. Two or three of the compe- titors present the spirit of battles in the guisc of a cave man. Several have been pitiful toward the innocent beasts slaughtered on the field. Once or twice a skeleton is chown in the pPose of a winged Victory. Again his satanic majesty bundles up the debris of the battle grounds and carries off the dead world on his back. As art the exhibition is weak, but it shows clearly cnough the turning of public opinion toward a pessimistic view of war. Tt is no longer an af- mpet-blowing angels and with victory on her chariot erowning heroes.

England Storing Up Wine. (Manehester Guardian.) I wrote yesterdey on the un- paralled clearances of spirits out of bond that have been going on for over a month. There has also been a big trade stocking of wine, but in this case there is distinct justification in the retail demand. Wine merchants have never within memory been so busy. One of the big West End “stores” will net undertake to deliver wine within three days of the order, and in many cases the shops have been emptied. A huge number of customers evidently believe that either prohibition or a big increase in duty is, coming. The year will probably be a familiar one in time to come aniong those .who have wine cellars, and 1915 claret” will figure like 1815 port in ‘wine sales. It is quite unlikely that wine will be touched. Apart from the blow that it would mean to the prosperity of our chief ally (a blow, however, which France would doubtless bear without wincing if she believed that it made us stronger), the danger, from Wwine has almost passed. We have now learned how to-use wine. A cen- tury ago ‘wine ‘was the chief intoxi- cuant of the richer classes, and the drunkenness in parliament was main- ly due to it. Today there is. hardly any fuddling with wine. The middle clusses drink claret with their meals of Sauterne or Chablis. There i now French Moselle and hock to take the place of Hockheimer! At any rate, the drinking of wine differs greatly ir character today from what it was even ten years ago, and people are be- ginning to see that, whatever hap- pens to spirits or beer, not much is likely to happen to wines, Swore Not to “Snitch.” (New York Times.) Ten-year-old, James Healy, of 1691 First avenue, and Tony Labia, eleven years old, of 401 East Ninetieth street, were : highly indignant when Detec- tives Ryan, Me; ers and Tully arrest- ed them as they left public school 30, Second avenue and Eighty-sixth street, the other afternoon charging them with 'having taken part with other small boys in the theft of $800 worth of pipes from an old organ in the First Union Presbyterian church, 147 East Eighty-sixth street. “Who snitched on us?” demanded Jemes. “I'll be it was that guy Craw- ley. He's got no respect for a solemn oath. Just wait till I get him, T'll fix him. - Why, when the four of us bust- ed into that church the first thing we did was to go up to the pulpit, put our hands on the Bible and swear we wouldn't snitch if any of us got csught. And now Crawley’s gone and snitched. I knew that guy wouldn't stick.” Whether or not young Jeremiah Crawley, whose home is at 246 East Ninetieth street, ‘'snitched,” the dete: tives would not say. Hé might have, though, for he was caught. ] Healy and Labia yere taken to the third branch deteftive bureau and their mothers were sent for. While awaiting their arrival the beys told of breaking into the church, which had not ‘been used for some ‘time, and stealing abput forty caps, uniforms and ghns belonging to a cddet corps o®the church. They intended to or- ghnize a military company among their playmates, they said. Ship Used Wood Funnel, (New York Times.) The attention of pilots in the har bor “/syas attracted to the ‘Dutch fxeighter Woudrichem, which arrbed from ' Rotterdam with a big ‘square avooden smokestack instead ~of the customary iron funnei. ~Captain K.

I could see the funnel twirling and skipping from wave tu wave for more than three miles. “‘As the smoke poured up irom be- low it was caught by the hurricane and blown in' all directions, so we had to put back to Ponta Delgado for re- rairs.” It was impossible to obtain a new funnel, the captain continued, so he] had the ship's carpenter cut up some teak planks and cabin doors to make a wooden one, lined with sheet iron, to last to New York. After the steamship got outside Ponta Delgardo it wag. diccovered that sparks were setting the funnel on fire, so Captain Wegener ordered that a man with a small hose should be on duty day and night to play water on the wooden smokestack and Keep it cool. At that time siX German stowaways were discovered in the bunkers, who had escaped from German vessels laid tip at Ponta Delgado. A Red Cross Temple, (Buffalo Express.) N The Red Cross is always a welcome guest in the house, of every Vien- nese, but with its latest idea it .k hit the nail on the head and made master stroke. 3 squares of Vienna, the Schwartzens berg Platz, the Red Cross erected a nice little temple. In the interior we see the figure of a knight, carved out of linden wood, more than three meters high. He who wants to help the Red Cross in amassing the fund necessary for the purpose mentioned en(ers a little offce near the temple, "where he gets a nail for one crown, in order to drive it or have it driven into the body of the knight. ‘When 500,000 nails are driven in and 500,000 crowns are in the treasury of the Red Cross, the man in iron will be transferred to the town hall or some public park, where the gouty old grandfather can tdke his grand- children in order to show .them the nail driven in by him forty years ago, and to tell them -of the great iron vear. * And when grandfather has gone to the ““land without return” his great-grandchildren will still find his 2 name in the lists of the givers, which will be exhibited in the Historical Museum of Vienna. The man in_ iron did net come to Vienna as a stranger. Iron streams through the veins of all his ancestors. The most prominent of these are the Stock im Eisen (tree in iron) and the iron man on the top of the tower of the city hall. As for the former, every ‘visitor to the Austrian can: will remember to have seen in a niche on the outer side of the office build- ing of the Equitable, corner of Steph- anplatz and Kaertner Strasse, the trunk of a tree, covered over and aver with nails, surrounded by an iron ficop with a padlock and the legend “1575, H. 13" The botanist, Franz Unger, has given this old city emblem a thorbugh examination and states that it consists of the trunk of a larch Onone of the Afestig . ™ 1o she was married and tht I bia a few tin JEANETTE WARNER and J. P. RICHMOND AT WISE, SMITH & CO. tree turned upside down. All the ex rlanations of the coat of nails and the padlock are mere conjectures, but among the people there lives the tra- dition that the imperial city will thrive and flourish as long as the trupk in iron will stand upright. On March 11, 1915, at 11 a..m,, the first three golden nails were driven into the breast of the kanight, the first by his Imperial Highness, Arch- duke Leopold Salvator, in the nan.s of the Austrian Emperor; the second by the German anibassador, name of the German emperor, and the third by the Turkish ambassador, in the name of the sultan. When 1 came there at 4 p, m§ I found hun- dreds of iron nails in the body of the statue, and many women and men busy driving in new ones, impatient- ly watched by hundreds of other per- mewhe wished to do the same thing. There has not been such an enthu- siasm of the ‘Viennese since the vear 1875, when they received Karl Wey- rrecht, the famous Austrian explorcr of the polar sea, on his return from the first Austrian-Hungarian expedi- tion to the North Pole, to whigh: we owe the discovery of Franz Joscl Land. X Just Like a Woman, (Kansas City Journal.) A girl in town had a proposal of marriage Sunday night, and asked a week to.consider it, before filing her answer testified T. A. Sawhill. sShe then ‘organized herself into an inves- tigating committee and commenced taking testimony .from the married ladies of her acquaintance. The first one she visited used to be a belle and the most admired girl in the town b before she was married six years ago. The cross-examination brought out the fact that she had %hree children, “did.all her own work, including her ‘Washing and ironing, and hadn't been down-town for four weeks, that her husband had given her but two dol- he had borrowed and forgot to pay whok ten dollars which her brother dhite gave her for a Christmas pres- gnt.; He bought & new over-coat with the money, while she wore the same plush coat that she wore when he wus coyrtihg her. Another woman whom she visited quit teaching school three years ago to marry “the handsomest and best dressed man in town,” and she is now supporting him. A third didn't dare say her soul was her own when her husband was around, though she used to write some lovely essays when she avas at school on the “emancipation of women,"” and the fourth woman she Msited was di- vorced. . . After visiting them and sumgning up the evidence, she went home anl wrote to the young man. She will be married to him next month. Steaming Up the Columbia. (Philadelphia Record.)
