Gilpatrie, a smiling and popular young business man, attempted to take refuge in death while bank ex- aminers were busy over his accounts. No officlal report has been made as to their findings, but it was supposed from the start that the cashier had reason to dread such an examination. 1t Gilpatrick survives and remains blinded, he can be little interested in what action . is taken by the state “should it be definitely established that his accounts indicated a defalcation. wJustice” can be little interested in punishing a blind man; the man who has lost the jewel of sight has already telt the stings of the heaviest blow that fate can bestow. —e THE SUNDAY TOLL. Analysis of the automobile accidents that invariably accompany widespread Sunday morning usually show an astonishing carelessness by a majority of the drivers involved. The ‘most serious reported yesterday was the annihilation of four persons, with 2 fifth likely to die from injuries, at Hamiiton, O. This tragedy occurred because the automobile driver tried to get over the crossinggahead of the train. The folly of this has been dis- closed in countless accidents; the ad- vantage lies with the locomotive and all odds are against the automobilists. Yet a few drivers will insist on trifiing \with fate by making such foolish at- tempts. —_— PARCEL POST INCREASE. Need for a separate bullding for parcel post business in' New Britain is a development that was bound to come as this department of the postal business increased its usefulness. In view of the large industries making use of the parcel post in New Britain and the large number of packages handled daily, it is surprising that the quarters at the main post office building held out to the present time. Nothing but prompt handling of such business, keeping the packages moving rapidly so that they did not accumu- Jate and take up unnecessary room, made it possible. Manufacturers are shipping $2,000,- 000 worth of goods abroad by parcel post every month, according to a re- port just made by the department of commerce. The same manufacturers are shipping thousands of packages to domestic firms in the same way. Less small package goods are being shipped by freight. One wonders what the express come- panies are doing about it. Perhaps they too can point to an increase in business. e c——— La GUARDIA BOLTS, Representative 1. H.

However, why should there be un- due alapm? The fact that the Borden {nterests of New England announce that they will construct a big cotton mill in Tennessee does not mean that the New England textile industry as it stands is to vanish, but means that the southern textile industry will grow faster, That this was a probability has been evident for several years, The reasons are obvious—proximity to the operation. As' the products of New England textile mills remain superior to that produced in the south, the quality of its products will and ought to bhe en- hanced rather than otherwise through southern competition, Southern mills as a class specialize in the pro- duction of the cheaper grade of pro- ducts and, according to reports of experts in thes industry, will be un- able to improve ‘helr product to a great extent because of the type of Jabor found in the south. The logical development of the situation proba- bly will be that New England mills will provide the better class of tex- ties, while the south will furnish the cheaper grades. For the past year or ‘so the market demands have been for cheaper grades, which accounts for the comparative prosperity of southern mills, Should the market turn—and this i8 extremely likely with- in the coming year—New England tex- greater demand, I'rom the stand- point of quality New England textiles continue to hold their own against competition anywhere. The worm is already beginning to turn In the New England textile in- dustry. Massachusetts and Rhode a, creased pulse of trade and mills which weare operating upon part time are “picking up” considerably, according to reports, A prosperous season is inuminent, it perhaps would be desirable for New England's industry if it could command the cheap textile market as well as the market for the high grades of goods, but this is not essential for New England to maintain 'supremucy in the textile industry. Under normal usiness conditions the demand for first class textiles is sufficient to keep al’ present New England mills oper- ating; and this section possesses some advantages in the production of cheap textiles that are not entirely to be a a port, and the large supplies of skilled, experienced and efficient textile labor —something by no means to be over= looked in a competitive market. 1t may be that New England’s tex- been developed to a | the development in the aou\k{ has not " point.
