But this matter | 'of Connecticut trees and the future| of Connecticut is fascinating from a | practical as well as @ sentimental | point of view. Thus a card recently received from ‘Austin ", Hawes, State Forester, is aorth noting. “In the old days,” it ‘begins, “Connecticut forests flupplled; #he lumber used in the state, and duilding was cheap. Today most of our lumber comes from the South and | dhe Pacific coast. The people of Connecticut are paying an annual greight bill of $3,000,000 on lumber jused in building and manufacturing. The lack of native lumber also per- mits excessive prices. For examplo fumber which sells at retail for $60 An Seattle sells for $100 in New Eng- land although the freight cost is only $18. The need of more real homes in this as in every other state is more! than a practical need; it is a moral need, More homes all over the coun- try, built by the man whose family will occupy it, intensify ‘the home| feeling. And certainly the greatest safety of the country, or any country, is in the increase in the number of | its homes. There is no reason why Connecticut, by making use of the idle land it has, could not raise all of the lumber need- ed by her people for building homes and for manufacture. Big state for- ests are needed and improved man- agement of private forests for the production of box boards, railroad ties and poles, says Mr. Hawes. Certainly state forestry-is a study worth en- couraging. Years from now Connecti- cut would present a different appear-+ ance were the most to be made out of its idle lands in this way suggested by the state forester. SHOW YOUR LICENSE. The law requiring a person to show /his or her license following a motor 'accident should not be lookéd upon | ,with suspicion. The law is insistent upon this point because there must be gome means of finding out who the | persons concerned in an accident are, Iwhether they are innocent or guflty, and were there left any doubt about the necessity of having one's license | ready for inspection, cases would oc- cur when it would be practically im- [ possible to make an investigation and | | vesuits alveady achieved, it | sible that the humber of accidents | especlal reason for boasting of a gmst‘ | that in a city like New Britain, noted fix the blame. The law, of which many are ignor- ant, requires one fo show his license to any person who asks to see it, if Jie has been operating or in charge of | a car. Such person in charge of the car or who has been operating it must | give also his name and address or the | {name and address of the owner of the car, in the event of an accident. Fol-| Jowing an accident any person ma quire an operator to sign his or her | name in the presence of the demand- | ing person.

A CITY IN A CARL The statistics telling how ny aus tomobile there are in® the different cities of the state, and showing how | many people would have to travel in each car were the whole town to move off on wheels, are certainly suggestive, Now take Bridgeport, for instance, If all the people In that city reached the conclusion, wise or unwise accords ing to one's opinion of Bridgeport, that they would like to move else- | where, the automobiles in that city could transport them all comfortably. | Perhaps there would be room for a| transient or two who happened to be passing the day In Bridgeport and wanted to get away with the rest, For In Bridgeport five people riding in each of Bridgeport's cars would | take care of them all. It has more, automobiles than any of the other| seyen big cities of the state. What may | be deduced from this is a question | | that requires deep thought to decide. Then comes Hartford and then New | London. Most of the people of these | cities might be able to squeeze in the | automobiles owned ther¢ and they would be sure to try to do so in Hart- | ford, quite probably, although social | lines might be drawn that would leave some to plug along the road. Take New Britain, now, Well, four- teen people would have to crowd into each car owned here. Of course there is no danger that the 'onple of New Britain would ever want to move away but if they did a welcome = would be given by each car owner to any| citizen wanting a ride. FFourteen to a | car, however, would be a little too much eevn for an elastic flivver. We are strong for automobiles. We | like them and we are glad the {p-| dustry is thriving. But we sce no number of cars. One is inclined to| wonder if many of them, in Bridge-| port, are paid for. It is quite possible for the eficiency of its workmen and its stability in matters of individual | finances, the comparatively few cars | owned indicates a tendency to be com- servative and wise in the matter of buying cars which are wholly'luxur- ies. We might even hazard a guess that New Britain would stand up pretty well in a survey of the number of cars owned here and used partially | or wholly for business purposes. | THE HOUR'S NEED. ~.When there is a lot of smoke really there must be some fire somewhere. ‘When practically the same suggestion as to “the need of the hour” comes from many different sources, there must 'be something about that sug- gestion worth considering. And that is the case today. The hour certainly needs something; the world needs something. What is it? Not long ago the statistician, Roger Babson, skilled in interpreting fig-| ures and telling their meaning, de- clared that the world needed a return to old-fashioned honesty of dealing. He included the word “religion”, but| the best religion is one of love and charity and honesty. All through the that have passed recently the declara tion has come from many pulpits that the need of the hour was that very | distressing years thing. Men of vision, not dedicated | to religious work, have emphasized | this very point, | And just recently a newly elected senator, a man of the people, has| taken the same stand. | , There must be something to it.| All people agree that:the world would ba a great deal better and happier| and more prosperous if everyone pos- sessed and lived up to higher ideals.

Paris, Oct, 10.—Herr von Hoesch, the German charge d’affairs called on Premier Poincare at 11 o'clock this morning to open direct negotiations between the Berlin and Paris gov- ernments. He offered the co-opera- tion of the Reich toward the re- sumption of the normal tconomic life of the Ruhr, b Premier Poincare replied that in- asmuch as negotiations were in progress in the Ruhr with groups of industrialists and labor leaders he did not consider it advisable to begin on the same informed Herr von when Germany was ready to make a: proposition covering thegentire reparations question he would be glad to consider it. be Announces Refusal “Acting under instructions from my government,” Herr von Hoesch said after his return to the German embassy, “I called upon Prémier Poincare and laid before him the subject. He *! proposition of the Reich's desire to co-operate in the resumption of the economic life of the Ruhr and sug- gesting a meeting of Belgian, French and German government representa- tives in the occupied territory to dis- cuss ways and mans by which this could be accomplished. This pro- posal was refused.” Makes No Comment “I have no comment to make," continued the charge. “It is not for me to make comment. The first part of my duty is done. It now re- mains for me to inform my govern- ment that the French government is unwillifig to interfere with tle nego- tiations now in progress in the Ruhr; that it cannot, disclose my proposal at this time hu( is willing to examine in collaboration with its allies a Ger- man proposition dealing with the rep- aration question as a whole.” Work 1s Necessary It was explained at the German embassy that the proposal was based on the fact that it was necessary to provide work and food for the Ruhr population now that the payment of wages to the unemployed by Berlin has been stopped and also to arrange for the resumption of deliveries in kind on reparation dccount. Surprise is Apparent The surprise felt at the German embassy over the Ifrench refusal was It was remarked that Poincare's conditions. The Germans pointed to his promise that the I'rench government would consider passive resistance ended when Ger- many revoked her brdinances forbid- ding intercourse by the Rubr officials with the occupying authorities, and when the Berlin government suspend- ed the payment of wages to the un- employed. ‘The Germans consider that both these conditions now have been ful- filled, but feel that the Ruhr ques- tion is apparently no further ad- vanced toward a solution. Allies Are Determined The purpose of Premier Poincare, it was' indicated in French circlés, was to make it clear to the German ge that the allies were determined | to carfy through their own program in the occupicd regions without the collaboration ‘of the German_ govern- ment, The French premier's pufpose is to keep the pledges seized = free from the interference of the Berlin gov- ernment until the essentials of the entire reparation problem are settled and the payments to the allies guar- anteed. His position is that the oc- cupation of the Ruhr was a penalty applied for defamit in the execution of the treaty of Versailles and that Germany has nothing to do with the methods of applying that penaity.

NO DECISION YET Rival forces are still struggling in Oklahoma. - Governor Walton declared martial law as an anti-Ku Klux measure. On the ground that he'd violated the con- stitution, a majority of the members of the house of representatives tried to meet to impeach him. Walton said he hadn't called a special session, so, at his order, state troops them. Then an election was held, to change the law so that a session could be held even without the governor's call. The proposition won by a large majority. But Walton denies election’s legality. He has a court in- junction to back him. However, he himsclf has called a special session now, “for the purpose,” he says, “of the enactment of a law to protect the people from mashed and lawléss marauders’—no especial organization mentioned. His idea ap- pears to be to get his own complaint before the houge ahead of fmpeach- ment proceedings.
