Courts in Canada have flatly bar- | red all convictions brought about by the “third degree.” American courts can well copy. The crude oil output again has reached a new high record. To m” the eclimax some thoughtless pros- peetor has discovered a new field in Oklahoma. Bristol is to have a ‘“white way ! gystem” of brilllant street lights. | Whether it can compete with the searchlights on some automobiles remains to be determined. ’ Many modern girls spend much time in eultivating their beauty; yet t is the beautiful girls, not the Momely variety who usually figure in Page One storles, A gentleman in Plainville resign- ‘ed from the school committee to ac- ‘eept a position as janitor in the high school. From this vantage point he will be able to judge the efficiency of the school committee. Hartford county tobacco growers announced they needed rain and | warmer weather to stave off the | worst crop possibilities since 1898. Scarcely had they made their an- nouncement when rain blessed the land; and from the feel of things, some warmer weather is in prospect. The effort to reduce moving plc- ture salaries went over great until the stars threatened to refuse to shine for less money. As the moving picture moguls have built up a galaxy of bubble screen reputations, have “made stars while you wait, they now are hamstrung by the sys- tem of their own manufacture. A STATE SURPLUS The annual bond audit of the state has disclosed a surplus of ap- proximately $5,000,000 over the funded debt of $16,291,000. The figures appertain to the close of the last fiscal year, June 30. The surplus at the close of the previous fiscal year was $1,699,007. 1t s apparent from the new figures that progress has been made. The funded debt of the state, more than $16,000,000, is balanced with sinking fund bonds worth more than $13,000,000 at par, plus a cash balance in the treasury ot $8,000,- 000. This total of $21,000,000 yields the surplus of $5,000,000 over the funded debt. surplus and hand a neat bonus to the ex-Nutmegger. If a petition to | that effect is necessary, we will sign 1t LOCOMOTIVE COLOR And so the Boston & Maine is go- ing in for gay-colored locomotives. It this is an evidence of progress we will make the most of it. We rather think it qualifies as a move in the direction of adding personality and distinction to the htherto mono- tonous appearance of the choo-choo engines. The locomotives, it is stated, will be improved in appearance “along the lines of color appeal developed by automobile designers.” Again the influence of the gasoline chariots is telt. The autos are setting a terrific pace in color-scheming, and it the rallroad locomotives ever catch up what a beautiful world this will be. And after the locomotives have been rainbow-hued, a little more color on the coaches will do no harm. GOVERNMENT OPERATION It used to be sald that the gov- ernment could never operate any- thing at a profit. But the govern- ment has been operating the United | States Lines and has shown a profit during the past fiscal year. The profit from operating the Leviathan, George Washington, Re- public, President Harding and Pres- ident Roosevelt the past year is an- nounced as being between $300,000 and $500,000. This is a net galn of more than $1,000,000 in income, the | deficit for the previous fiscal year having been around $650,000. The Shipping Board is learning. It requires experience to get a profit out of operating passenger vessels. Considering the keen competition offered by private concerns the gov- ernment has done exceedingly well. The Shipping Board is still trying to sell cargo ships, and various patriotic but economically minded citizens and concerns are still trying to buy its ships for a song. The board has done well to refuse ridiculously low bids. Rather than give the ships away they should be allowed to rot or earn their keep as best they may. The government is not in duty bound to play Santa Claus merely because it happens to have a surplus of cargo craft on hand. A REVISED PRAYER BOOK England is always aroused about something, and now it is a revision of the prayer book of the Angelican church. Wherever English is spok- en, we are told, there is discussion about it. The cruhch assembly having finally voted to permit the optional use of the old and new versions of the church ritual, Parliament will next have the opportunity of either accepting or rejecting it. The op- tional clause may leave Parliament, composed of Noncomformists, Catholics, Jews and perhaps some unbellevers, rather willing to pass favorably upon a matter which in the last analysis is to be left to the individual priesthood. Discussion of this subject is rather bewildering to the layman. One side claims the new prayer book eases off toward the ritual of the Roman Catholic church; others claim it fs too modernistic; others say it is still very conservative con- sidering the times. The old prayer book dated from 1662, when it took form under the reign of Charles II, so that few, it is sald, believed the book did not require some revision to meet the needs of the present tme. The trouble began, of course, when the details of revision were begun. The general public, including the large section not part of the Anglican church, is no doubt deeply interested in the changes made in the marrlage service.

" GEHRIG AND RUTH | As everyone knows, or knew, Babe Ruth's salary is the trifle of $210,000 for three vears of swat. The Babe is drawing this stipend largely and solely because of his ability to hit the ball on the nose and transporting it over the fence or in the bleachers. His employers ex- pected a certain number of such swats during the season and they are not disappointed so far. Nobody expected the hambino to have much competition specialty. To the surprise of the na- once in his tion at large, however, such compe- tition has cropped up in Lou Gehrig, the swatter who once was a member | of the Hartford team. At this writ- ing, in fact, “Our Lou" has bested | Ruth, being a little ahead of the clouter. Gehrig is not drawing anything like $210,000 for three years for pushing the pill around. His income, in fact, is quite modest in compari- son. But he is doing as much as Ruth to glorify the home run in- dustry. Perhaps, at the end of the season, the beneficent owners of the to the hsuband's property the word “share” 1s substituted for “cndow.” In the office for the baptism of in- fants, “born in sin” Is altered to the declaration that *“God willeth all men to be saved, for God s love.” The word “obey” in this country has long been deleted from count- less Speaking personally, and we think most other marriage services. married folks had the same don't mere experience, we remember | whether any such word was in our service, the ng too much flustered to remember the incident. partic marriage parties thereto b ar DISCARDING OLD PL: | Announc: ment by the partment that all JN pianes are he- junked to pr | eficiency and safety in the | ing in order | meet with public approval | nave ween entirely too many acci- de in the the pression has been growing that the type of planes still in use A im- are de- The wi s the v department now confir claim.

There is no reason why army and navy aviators while in training should be given obsolete equipment. The record of accidents in the serv- ice warrants the finest of equipment being substituted for the old air- planes. BY RAIL AND AIR Combining raliroad and air travel appears more logical than long dis- tanee air travel alone. Few travel- ers would care to remain awake all night on an alr plane in order to negotiate a long route in quick time. The day may come when it will be possible to provide sleeping quar- ters for passengers on air planes, but so far the problem has defled solution. Until it 1s solved, which in all probability will take a long time, a combination of air and rail travel seems entrely feasible, through the simple expedient of enjoying the comforts of a Pulman sleeper at night and gliding twice the distance through the air in the daytime. Such a combination trip between New York and the Pacific coast ought to cut at least 24 hours from the pres- ent running time. It is a sane use of passenger air travel for long dis- tances and in all probability will be- come popular Wwithin the next few years. PUNISH THE FLOGGERS Georgia has a splendid opportun- ity to discourage flogging parties. The evidence of Mrs. Ansley Bowers, given in court, seems to be of a nature likely to warrant conviction. If this eventuates the maximum for all concerned would please the mil- lions of newspaper readers who have read the revolting account of how a woman was beaten by a cowardly band of midnight prowlers. It will have been noticed that one of the men on trial is the principal of a high school and the superin- tendent of a Sunday school. One of the questions asked the woman, so she says, was why she didn't at- tend church. One gathers from this that it was considered a heinous of- fence for a woman not to be iden- tifled with religion of the Georgia brand. Men who would flog a wom- an—or flog anybody—and pretend to be living a Christian life show a rather warped mentality. Chris- tlanity is not supposed to manufac- ture brutes. The self-appointed mentors of personal conduct who are or have been active In some parts of the country need a lesson. Florida re- cently taught a wholesome lesson to a mob of would-be lynchers, at a cost of some four lives. The ad- joining state now has its opportunity to throw the fear of the Lord and of justice into the black hearts of its floggers. 25 Years Ago Today | Howard §. Hart and family are at Cottage City.

Southington expects to become the hub of the state trolley system in the near future. The line from Mt.

Athens, Greece, July 8 (P—A de- stroyer was despatched to Suda Bay, lsland of Crete, today in con- sequence of a rumored attempt by General Pangalos, former dictator of Greece, to escape from Fort Izze- din. General Pangalos was sent to the island of Crete soon after he was overthrown as dictator by General Kondylis last August. In November despatches to the Exchange Tele- graph company of London gave re- ports reaching Athens from Crete that he had been showing signs of mental derangement for some time. It was said he had imagined he was the emperor of Byzantium and had demanded that he be taken to Constantinople. After rumors that military officers were plotting a conspiracy in behalf of Pangalos were denied by the Greek ministry of marine last April, it was an- nounced in Athens that the former dictator was to be sent to a small island in the Aegean sea for greater security. naval and JONES GOING STRONG St. Andrews, Scotland, July 8 (I"P)—Robert T.

A drowning person struggles to keep on the surface of the water and in his fright and struggles draws water into the windpipe, which makes him cough. Coughing expels considerable air from the lungs, and he sinks again. If all the air s expelled from the lungs at once, he will not rise a second time. This is especlally true where the victim is fully clothed. Under favorable circumstances if the drowning per- son is fairly level-headed he may sink and rise many times before his strength fails. Q. What is the feminine name corresponding to Paul? A. Either Pauline or Paula. The name is from the Latin and means little. “Jazz” Can —_— WEARY OF FIGHTS Obregon Pledges Peace if Flected President of Mexico. Mexico City, July 8 (A—Weary of revolutions, Mexico's candidate for the presidency declared yesterday in a speech at Hermosillo. The people, he avowed, will condemn any candi- date or faction attempting to con- vert the presidential campaign into an armed conflict. General Obregon repeated the pledge that he and his followers would not resort to violence. The leading newspapers in both editorials and news columns, criti- cise prevalent talk that a revolution may be expected from the presi- dentlal campaign. Excelsior asserts that *“the some old Yankee perfidy” inspires hopes in the United States of another Mexican revolution, and that there is a campairn by the “yellow Amer- fean press” to stimulate such a revolution.” It continues: “The traditional policy of the United States has been anti-Mexican and the prescnt propaganda is for the purpose of trying to continue Mexico in a state of perennial anar- chy and perpetual agitation. But fortunately the Mexican people un- cerstand the object of this propa- ganda and will not be deceived.” FIVE GANGSTERS DEAD IN CHICAGO STRIFE - Machine and Sawed-Off Shotguns Cut Down City’s Under- world Hosts.
