After the attempt has been made it is probable that the innocent pedestrian will decide lhnll more traffic policemen are necessary; at least that one should be stationed | at the southern extremity of the cen- ter during rush hours, The object of traffic policing is not only to prevent automobiles from | crashing into each other, but also to | ald pedestrians In escaping with nmlx—1 lives or being subject to fewer hair- | raising and nerve-rasping experiences | when they cross the highways.

The recent resignation of Judge | Mayer and the illness of another judicial colleague upon the circuit | court of appeals is given by Judge Rogers as sufficient reason why he can- nomination if not consider such a proffered at this time.

True, she gave up imperialistic ideas far from | home, but across the narrow Mediter- | ranean from her southern shore she | ha's been dabbling in more imperialism ;ut a huge cost in men and money and no returns, In that part of Morocco “controlled” | by Spain the Spanlards have had more trouble with natives who belleve in | self-determination than perhaps any other modern nation has experienced | since the great war, Spain has had to | maintain enormous troops at Ceuta | and environs, who have been forc to wage continual protective warfare J with the savage tribes of the imterior. Along the Riff, east of Ceuta, the | situation has been entirely out of | hand and the Spaniards have been beaten to a frazzle. 1t appears that the natives don't want civilization, modern comforts and flivvers, and in- sist on shooting anybody who tries to agricultural collcges such as the one [ bunco them with an exchange of the white man's burdens for the freedom | they have known, The warfare has cost Spain several hundreds of millions of dollars and thousands of her sons, whose bones | lie bleaching in the desert sands. The people at home are restive at the fruitless warfare in a land in which they were but slightly interested in the first place, and the government is hard put for an excuse to withdraw and save its face. It will have to do S0 sooner or later, as the only way to conquer the Riff would be by keeping !Pnnugh soldiers there to patrol every square mile of desert with a company or two of men—and even then it wouldn't be safe for a tourist to play in the sand. The plan, of course, would be ridiculous, expensive and im- possible, The Spanish government is trying to squirm from under by making a deal to . obtain Gibraltar from the British in an exchange for Ceuta. It is stated that Ceuta is a better naval base for submarines than Gibralta, | and would be just as valuable to the British, if not more so. The strength of Gibraltar today is largely a myth, as the development of long range guns has made it possible for Spain _to cover it with shells from the high- lands’ on either side of the British possession, When it is considered that the great war developed guns hapahle of shooting muech further than ever before, it Is clear that Gibraltar is not what it once was. , The British are sald to realize the situation, but 1 as a great deal of sentiment is bound up with their retention of Gibraltar, |a swap with Spain is unlikely. The Spanish ministry will have to get out from under in some other way.

April: “I'm going to garden for ex- ercise this year,” July: “Jimmie, hoe that garden this morning.» The madding crowd's ignoble atrife seems especially ignoble if you haven't been able to get your share. “Privial things make us happy,” says & woman writer., But not if they turn over their pay envelopes, Chivalry may have overdone the thing at times, but is didn't sit in front of the house and honk. A girl is safe unless she is afrald her wonderful sweetie won't approve of her common old parents. Man is queer. He will suffer for eight hours and then rave if the doc- tor he calls isn't there in ten minutes. Once they got up in the air the democrats probably thought they might as well try for an endurance record. . The reason the least educated man demands the greatest deference from his wife is because he needs the great- est need of it.

Torecast for Eastern New York: feair tonight; cooler in south portion; Saturdwy fair; moderate to fresh northwest winds.

RESSUE FIVE CHILDREN « FROM WIND TOSSED BOAT New Britain and Hartford Mcen Then Save Family Also in Distress Five children from 6 to 12 years old, playing in an unfastencd row- boat at Clinton Wednesday would have been carrled seaward or probab- ly wrecked on the rocks nearby be- cause of a heavy gale which was blow ing, had not George Duncan of Hart- ford and George Haynes of 142 Cherry street, this city, heard their screams as they were returning from a fishing trip off Duck Island. The children's cries failed to attract the attention of people on the shore and the craft was being taken scaward when the fisher men saw it and towed it to the shore. While rescuing the children, the men heard screams in another dircc- tion, They saw a man, woman and child in a rowboat with the man pull- ing frantically at the oars in an ef- fort to prevent the boat from going out. The qpaft was half filled with water. Duncan and Haynes went to their assistance and succeeded in bringing them to a motor launch frem which they were taken to shore by Calvin Gladding of Chester. BISHOP HAID DIES Funeral Probably Will Be Held Next Tuesday—Was Venerable Veteran Of Catholic Church in U. 8. Charlotte, N, C.,, July 25. — The funeral of the Right Rev. Leo Haid, bishop of North Carolina and dean of the Roman Catholic hierarchy of America, who died last night at Bel- mont Abbey, probably- will be held next Tuesday, although arrangements for the services were said today to be only tentative. Although Bishop Haid had been Il with gallstones for three years and geveral weeks ago he was taken seriously ill, the end came rather unexpectedly. The venerable bishop, who was 75 years old, horn in Latrobe, Pa.,. July 15, 1849, At the age of 20 he joined the Benedictine Order and three years later was ordained a priest. For 13 years he was chaplain and a professor at Bt. Vincent's Abbey, Beatty, Pa., and in 1885 became abbot of Belmont cathedral at Belmont, N. C., remain- ing in that capacity until his death. Bishop Haid was appointed civar apostolic of North Carolina and titu- lar bishop of Messene in 1910 and on July 15, 1914, was made assistant to the papal throne. In 1920 Pope Pius X conferred upon him the unusual honor of presiding over ‘“abbatinul- lius,” or Cathedral Abbey. H. S. Athlete to Enter Dramatic Arts School Charles N.

L. La Follette of Colfax, cousin of Senator La Follette, today is an avowed can- didate for congress from the fourth district on the republican ticket. He will contest for the seat formerly held ll‘y his fatee®, Willlam L. La Foliette. One of the first plans of the human an to form a group with other animals of the same kind. This group had m-rgy advantages. It furnishes protection as well as social pleasure, Rutgll also had a very important psychologicai effect. 1t profoundly affected his mind. Thinking is mighty hard work, and the group consclous- ness saved him a lot of thinking. It does yet. . Humanity is much the same as it always was, whether it has existed four thousand years or forty thousand, whether you accept the chronology of theologiang or of the scientists, In either case it has not been long. Com- pared with the stretches of cosmic history, it is but a thin line upon a vast page. We have every reason to belleve that l‘hL human race is still in its infancy. Scratch a twentiefh century mind and you will find a troglodite, Now the greatest offender against the tribe is not the man who refuses to obey the totem and who opposes it. The greatest of all offenders is the man who says that the totem is nothing but a totem. Just as the chief of- fender idolators would be the wretch who claimis that the idol is nothing but a plece of wood. And the great trouble with us is not that we hawve totems, for, indeed they have their place and use, The trouble is that we think totem. Most people do not think at all until they find out what somebody else thinks. Far from esteeming it a weakness to have no opinion except that of the mob, westake great pride in our mob ideas. And we cast out as a leper anyone who dares to think for himself. The party calls him a renegade, the church calls him a heretic, and the nation calls him a traitor. Indeed, most of our feelings that we call respect and reverence are noth=| ing but the remnants of the old totem sentiment which our cave-dwelling ancestors experienced.
