TALK ABOUT | Governor Templeton is quoted 'as saying: “There seems to be little rea- son for this coal ‘scare’ as it can be shown that twice as much coal I8 coming to this city (presumably Wa- terbury) this winter as was last year," | This statement about the amount of conl coming into a city of l’nnn(-fl\cv.l‘ now, may well be true, If the same| conditions exist in other cities as those | obtaining in New Britain probably twice as much coal has been shipped in the last three months as was ship- ped in the same three months one year ago. But the difference lies here: One year ago the coal coming in in September, October, November and December was received right on top of the great supply of coal which had come in during April, May, June, July and August. The shipments in those five months nermally amounts to two- thirds of the season's supply. Last fall, hand, the great amount ovember on the othe of coal received in October, and December, was received on top of no coal at all, for there were no ship- | ments received in the months directly | preceding—the months whep, ordinar- ily, two-thirds of the season's supply is received. Supposc a man ordinarily earns $100 a month—and spends it all. If| he is idle six months, and spends his usual amount, he: will be in debt| $600, He then goes to work and is paiditwice his normal wage, or $200 a month. He works for three months, October, November and December, thus earning $600, spending his usual amount of $100 a month or $300, and | paying the balance, $300, on the $600| indebtedness. The first of January he will still be $300 in debt. That repre- sents the coal situation. We are still three months behind in addition to the amount of coal we lack because our quota was cut down to 60 per cent of our normal consumption. We were to have 36,000 from last | April to next April, which is 60 per | cent of the amount we usc normally. | No coal came during the first half of that year. We would have to get far| more than twice the usual amount in the months of October, Novemper and December to make up for the coal we did not get in the summer months. These facts arc mentioned, not for the purpose of making the depression greater, but rather to explain why there is and will continue to be need of conserving coal. ' tons of coal ALCOHOLIC DISORDERS The significance of the new. Massachusetts regarding the s per | cent increase over last year in the number of alcoholic mental disorder | cases admitted to state institutions,| lies in the fact that there is such in- only. dis- from X crease over 1921, and in that This is true the same pateh gives the information that while more than 10 per cent of the number| of wrnissions last year was due to al- coholism, the nmber of such cases up to 1017 averaged 12 per cent. There were fewer cases of alcoholism, then, since prohibition hecame more or less effective than before prohibition was “attempted. These figures, therefore, might be cited as showing that there were fewer cases of alcoholism under | prohibition than before, and such| statement, according to these figures, | would be true. . But there is the sinister fact that| @there was a six per cent increase in| the number of cases, and this fact| more than destroys the effect of the| figures favorable to those who insist | prohibition is"beneficiah and that the | prospect is good for an increased | general benefit to the world. Advocates of prohibition have argued honestly | that there would be a gradual de- erease in the use of intoxicants. These | because Massachusetts, fore entertaining the convietion that prohibition under the present laws benefit the in the future than it is helping its people wil COURLYY ARY mere |at present, Will not the figures n* in other wonrds, in- creasing s they have mereased, bring the number of aleoholic cases well | over the 12 per cent of the cases ad- | Phasized that this department ' mitted to state institutions which was Yue figure in the pre-prohibition days?

Coue in this country, as most people who think of matters of the mind are doing, were especlally attracted by the speaker's theory of the practical effect of auto.suggestion 48 taught by the JFrench druggist. With becoming modesty Mr., White | disavowed any intention to make a| dogmatic statement that his sugges- tion was now capable of proof, and he sald Coue would not advance it and possibly, or even probably, had not considered it. Nevertheless Mr. White, after explaining that various emotions brought physical changes to us, expressed the belief that it is quite possible the continued suggestion to self that one is improving in health might well create a gland secretion which would assist in combating disease. Of course this would be es- pecially true in nervous disorders, and the effect of Mr. White's discus- sion was o support in a measure the Coue belief rather than to discredit it. was popularly playmas there was ns be PROTECTING OLD NAMES It is not a little thing that Judge Morton did the other day in Boston in compelling people who were being | natfiralized to shorten their, names, | when desiring to do so, by taking some other than one of the old time Amer- | ican names the rightful possession of which means something. Far be it| trom one to take the position that any | | man is entitled to respect merely be- cause of the “old and honored” name he bears. Honor in this country, at| least, is given for achiévement = and character. Moreover it is not wise to emphasize the importance of tradition in this day when the country's pros- perity and continued success depends upon, the forward-looking, unfettered people of action. But, other things being equal, all people when changing their names should be required to retain the root, at least, of the mark by which they are rightfully distinguished. SKINNING THE CAT Everyone - knew American girls! would do something about it. Men did | not know just what they would do, but | they are supremely confident that the girls would find some way out. This, in reference to the passing of the | short skirt. That short skirt refiected the new spirit of freedom among women, revelled in it, nor did the men object—not so that you could notice, | | unless the skirit happened to be worn ! by the man's daughter. Anyway, when fashion decided that the short| skirt must go, the women' biess 'em, | merely said “all right, very well,”” we won't wear any skirts at all. Then, of course, something had to be found to take the place of the skirt—some- thing that would accomplish some rather desirable results without priving the dom. Knickerbockers; that's it, knick- | ers. Which: proves there’s more than | one way to skin a cat. Now comes the news item from At- lantic cify that “the passing of the short skirt to popularize knickerbockers among the fair se and the style will-be all the rage lhls)‘ de- splendid sex of its free- promises | summer,” this prediction coming from | the authoritative lips of nonc other than the president of the Men's Ap- parel club which is meeting in joint convention with the New Jersey Re- tail Clothiers’ association.

The greater the aridity of a banquet, the greater the stupidity of the speeches that follow. Cigarettes don’t cost you so much, unless you have a few friends who have sworn off. All things are relative, The rich are warm and secure in their houses, But so are those in jail. The man of noble lineage who doesn’t amount to a darn must find in scorning self- very close made men. Some of the poor doughboys must leave their wives. For that matter, some must’ leave their German police dogs. It isn't so difficult to turn brass into money.

' Tomorrow: Wopresentative Harold Knutson of Minnesota, So when tne Moscow government announces ita pesition toward the present European erisis, its statement is entitled to a good deal more re- spectful attention than a similar an- nouncement wouid be entitted to from any other Old World ecapital, Nussia says she doesn’t particularly want war, but isn't afraid, either, She says she thinks the rest of Europe is moving in the direction of another war, perhaps not right away, but most likely in the not very distant future, She says she thinks she could jprofit by such a war! by going inte {it; she wouldn't do this, even for profit, If the belligerents would let her alone, but she's sure they wouldn't, Consequently she's getting ready, In thé matter of the Ruhr, in & goneral way she says she's sorry for Germany, but certainly she can't do anything about it unless the Ger- mans do, and she doesn't believe they're going to; some of them talk as if they were, but her impression is, they're bluffing, She says she hadn't anything to do with the Memel affair and doesn't in- nd to attack Poland, but suspects that Poland means to attack her, in which case she'll give her her bellyful. If any treaty's made putting the Straits of Constantinoples her sole means of entrance into and exit from the Black Sea, under the authority of the league of Nations or any other jurisdiction except her own, Russia says she won't recog- nize it. MOSUL DEADLOCK UNBROKEN This remark relative to the Straits of Constantinople links up Russia's case with the dispute between Turkey and England, which the British con- sider more immediately threatening than even the Ruhr situation. The Turkish envoys at Lausanne and Lord Curzon, the British repre- sentative, are deadlocked still, over control of the rich Turkish oil pro- vince of Mosul. Lord Curzon wants to submit the controversy to the League of Nations. The Turks, fear- ful of England’'s influence with the League, won't do this. They propose to let Mosul decide for itself, by a popular vote. The English, knowing the result would be Turkish, refuse this plebiscite proposition. It's a deadlock which would cause war but for one . thing which may - possibly® prevent it— everybody knows that such a war, so far as England is concerned, would be a fight in behalf of British oil in« terests, and it's pretty doubtful if the London government will dare brave the anger of the masses of English people by engaging in it, whatever Lord Curzon may threaten. RUHR VENTURE’S STATUS As a military enterprise, France's occupation of the Ruhr is a good deal of a success, but as a damage-collect- ing undertaking, up to date it's prov- ed a flat fizzle. What the French are getting out of the Germans now, the former's own leaders admit, is less than they were getting before the in- vasion started. I'rench troops have succeeded in drawing a cordon all around the oc- cupied district and cutting, it off from the rest of Germany, but nearly ev- erything's tied up by a strike, Lven if, by a prolonged stay, which is what they're prepared for, the French could accomplish something, will their own people wait that long? Thus far the invasion’s only an ex- pense to them, not only in money out of pocket for their troops, but in dis- organized business and in the depre- ciation of the franc in international money markefs. Already people are wondering how long the present French cablnet Will )ast, as public doubt increases concerning the wis- dom of the Ruhr venture.

Klett in police court this morning that he sometimes sells whiskey to men who are “shak- ing with the cold,” was fined $150 and costs. He conducts a store at the cor- ner of Dwight and Fairview streets. Patrolman John Stadler sent a po- lice “agent” into the ’store last Sat- urday and with a $1 bill that had been given him the “agent” purchased a4 drink of liguor and a quantity in a small bottic, which he turned over to the policeman. In the raid that fol- lowed, 2 small squantity of the same stuff was found. The “agent” identi- fied Ehillicki as the man,who made the sale, The storekecper told Judge Klett today that he works in a factory dur- ing the daytime and that he has mot ksold openly at the place.
