HORSES We hear a great deal about business cycles; about the reaction that comes in business, It ought to apply to other activities. Where there is a great demand for horses, for instance, and many are raised, as was the case before the automobile began to dis- place them, it is good business. When, as now, the decreasing demand lowers the price and the number ralsed, the horse business is poor. The aggregate value of both horses and mules In 1922 in the United States was nearly two billion Aollars, but it was nearly three billion in 1916-20, Some may believe that the horse will never come back, and it may be admitted that this is probably true to a certain extent in work horses. But it may well be doubted that the horse, 48 an animal used for pleasure, will not have his day once again. If this be true, and if the reaction works in the horse business as it has in other lines, there will be an increasing demand for horses and, of course, an increase in their value. Often old fashions re- turn and enjoy great popularity. As the airplane represents an investment along the line of the new, so, quite! possibly, the fine horse may represent an investment that some day will bring dividends. hd HERALD PUBLISHING COMPANY Dally, Bunday Excepted) Bl €7 Church BStrest.

The keen anxiety of this group to have a certain ob- solete sign of a brewery painted out reminds of Caesar’'s wife—she “must be above suspiclon.” Think of the harm that sign may do. A person looking at it might feel creeping over him such a craving for beer that he would become desperate and go to any lengths—even to Hartford—to get a taste of the terrible stuff. It used to be said that Bowery in New York the keepers would sweep sawdust onto the | walk in front of a saloon and saturate | that sawdust with liquor so that some weak inebriate, passing by, would in- hale the odor and be so tempted by it that he would be unable to pass the | place without spending his last cent for liquor. And it is now suggested, by | inference, that the offending sign in this city should be painted out prob- ably because of its like influence, If no more reform is needed in New Britain than the effacing of a sign not visible from the street, New Brit- ain is, indeed, a virtuous city. The Chief of Police of this city has a reputation for strictness and an honest desire to enforce obedience to the law as far as it is humanly pos- sible to do so, He realizes, as few theorists are able to realize because of | ty. No doubt the new law regarding their lack of experlence, the difficul- | the sale of Iftflior to persons under 18 ties étte‘ndaut upon enforcement of *years of age—if it becomes a law after the prohibition law as embodied in the | approval of the king-——will be obeyed Volstead act—difficulties recognized |in England in a similar way.

We cannot expect that New Britain will be free from en- forcement troubles. We cannot expect the country will be free from enforce- ment troubles. But we may place con- fidence in our Chief of Police and we may believe that he is handling the “situation as well as it can be handied, and we may subscribe honestly to his | statément that he believes the situa- tion in New Britain is better than in any other. place In Hartford county. LIQUOR ENGLAND The passage by the House of Com- mons and the House of Lords in Eng- |1and of Lady Astor's bill prohibiting | the sale of liquor to those under the uge of 18 years naturally brings up thought of our own liquor law-—not the thought of the Eighteenth amend- ment to the constitution but rather of the Volstead act and the deeds done in its name and by its assumed at- | thority. The ‘passage of this bill in | England moreover, suggests some slight trouble that Englishmen may have with their consciences. If the law of the land, in England, prohibits the sale of intoxicating liquor to those under 18 years of age, it is to be pre- sumed the makers of the law do not believe people under 18 years should drink intoxicating liquor—a perfectly proper stand. But how will the con- scientious father feet when, at dinner, his 17 9-10 year old son sips a bit of the stuff? Should he nof forbid him to thus go against the spirit of the law of the land? But the form of this bill shows the moderation with which the question is dealt, as we in this country deal with the tobacco question. There are laws in many states against selling tobacco to minors. No violent pro- tests are heard. Tobacco merchants obey this law, recognizing its proprie- on the saloon- JOHNSON, THE AMERICAN A few words will indicate what is to be expected from Senator Johnson —Hiram, just returned from a visit in Europe and just emerged from his state of unaccustomed silence.

Well, she has so little time for it after she finishes cooking, sweeping and mending. When one listens to these contro- versialists, it is hard to dicide which they love the most, the Lord or an argument. It must be conceded, however, that tew statues are erected to men who mind their own bueiness and have no enemies. Wouldn't pictures of men in bath- ing suits serve as well to show how the populace is enjoying local bath- ing facilities?

The ad- vertisement reads: Personal Adoption—Princess, advanc- ed in years, with no heirs, desires to perpetuate title and will legally adopt Amerlcan, conferring thereby inalienable title; one of the principal Iuropean kingdoms; title absolutely authentie, dating back to eighth cen- tury; person adopted must possess culture and refinement, be of unques- tioned reputation and means com- mensurate with highest social posi- tion. It was inserted through the law firm of Campbell & Boland, 342 Madi- son avenue, Edward Kellogg Baird, a member of the firm, refused yester- day to reveal the identity of the prin- cess, Nor would he divulge any per- sonal information through which the identity of the princess might be as- certained. But he did admit that the princess came from one of the allied countries of Kurope, and that her reason for wishing to adopt an American is sole- ly out of gratitude to America for aid- ing her country during the war and the period of reconstruction. Mr. Baird explained that there was no desire on the part of his client to narter her title for American dollars “The stipulation of means com- mensurate with highest social posi- tion,” he explained, “means merely that the person adopted must have sufficlent wealth to live up to his or her soclal position. It takes money to support a title.” The matter of sex, he said, is of no consequence, What the princess wants is some one who will be a congenial companion and who will perpetuate her title, “The princess,” said Mr. Baird} “has many personal friends, among whim she might find some one to adopt, but it has occurred to her that she might flll the requirements in this way rather than from among personal friends. 'There were a great many noble families decimated in the late war, It does not seem strange, then, that she should want to perpetuate her title through adoption. There is nothing novel about this, The anclent Assyrians, the Phoenicians, Egyptians, Greeks and the Romans all recogniz- ed adoption. Epceclally among the Romans we. have many examples of noble familles adopting sons.” Asked why it was that the princess insisted on hiding her identity, Mr. Baird sald that she is in delicate health, and that once her identity be- came known she probably would be constantly annoyed by all sorts of ad- venturers. Asked if the princess was in New York at the present time, he admitted that she was, but added that she would not remain here long, This is the second advertisement of a somewhat similar nature to have appeared in The New York Times this week. Last Sunday an advertisement was inserted by C. A. M. McCready, 1825 Chetwynd avenue, Plainfleld, N. J., in which an impoverished Ameri. can-born girl whose father is of high British descent and whose mother comes from an Austrian noble family, asked for adoption into an American home, where she would be surround- ed again by the comforts which she had been accustomed.

NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, THURSDAY, JULY 26, 1928, tice, I am informed, approximately $2,600,000 has found its way ‘from the United States into Canada for in- vestment. Most gratifying to you moreover, should be the circum- stances that one half of that great sum has gone for purchase of your state and municipal bonds, a tribute indeed to the scrupulous mainte- nance of your credit, to a degree equalled only by yéur mother country across the sea and your sister country across the hardly visible border. Peace Can Be Kept “A hundred years of tranquil rela- tionship through vicissitudes which elsewhere would have evoked armed conflict,rather than arbitration, af- fords, truly declared James Bryce, the finest example ever seen in history of an undefended frontier whose very absence of armaments itself helped to prevent hostile demonstrations; thus proving beyond question that ‘peace can always be kept whatever be the grounds of controversy between peoples that wish to keep it. “There is a great and highly per- tinent truth, my friends, in that simple assertion. It is public will, not public force that makes for en- during peace. And is it not a grati- fying circumstance that has fallen to the lot of us North Americans, liv- ing amicably for more than a century, under different flags,” to present the most striking example yet produced of that fact? If only European coun- tries would heed the lesson conveyed by Canada and the United States they would strike at the root of their own continuing disagreements and in their own prosperity, forget to inveigh constantly to ours. Regard Only Present “Not that we reproach them for resentment or envy which all is but a manifestation of human nature rather should we sympathize with their seeming inability to break the shackles of age long methods, and re- joice in our own relative freedom from the stultifying effect of old world customs and practices. Our natural advantages are manifold and obvious. ‘We are not palsied by the habits of a thousand years. We live in the power of glory of youth. Others derive justifiable satisfaction from contemplation of their resplen- dent pasts. We have relatively only our present to regard and that, with cager eyes fixed chiefly upon our future. “Therein lles our best estate. We profit both mentally and materially from the fact that we have no ‘de- parted greatness' to recover, no ‘lost provinces' to regain, no new territory to covet, no ancient grudges to gnaw eternally at the heart of our national consciousness, Not only are we hap- pily exempt from these handicaps of vengeance and prejudice but we are animated correspondingly and most helpfully by our better knowledge, derived from long experience of the blessings of liberty. SIS “I find that quite unconsciously I am speaking of our two countries, al- most in the singular when perhaps I should be more painstaking to keep them where they belong in the plural. But I feel no reed to apologize. You understand.as well as I that T speak in no political sense. The ancient bugaboo of the United States schem- ing to annex Canada disappeared from all our minds year sand years ago. Heaven knows we have all we can manage now, and room to spare for another hundred millions before ap- proaching the intensive stage of ex- istence of many European states. Against Annexation. “And if I might be so bold as to offer a word of advice to you it would be this: ‘Don’t encourage any enter- prise looking to Canada’s annexation to the United States. You are one of the most capable governing peoples in the world, but I entreat you for your own sakes, to think twice before undertaking management of the ter- ritory which lies between {he Great Lak and the Rio Grande.' “No, let.us go our own gaits along parallel roads, you helping us and we helping you. So long as each coun- try maintains its independence, and both recognize their interdependence, those paths cannot fail to be high- ways of progress and prosperity.’” Polo Grounds Seems to Be Choice for Fight New York, July 26.—Tex Rickard m have a definite announcenfent oday on the date and site of the world’s heavyweight title battie be- tween Jack Dempsey and Luis Angel irpo.
