The day seems to be past when the ecity building department can be fooled by anyone with the necessary nerve. It is gratifying to realize that the cost of education in this city is be- low the average of other cities in Connecticut. But this cost does not include the costs of the new build- ings. That, as Perlmutter would say, is something else again, The Connecticut company has been trying to take the bumps out ot the rails along Church street for years; but there is still no chance of a quiet nap in the Herald office, as every time a car passes by it sounds like thunder. e Satistactory potato prices have in- creased production England potato growers are wonder- ing whether the wicked price manipulators in the citles will take advantage of the increased produc- tion.

Stephenson, the Ku Klux Klan potentate of Indiana who is serving a life term in Michigan City, has no confidence at all in the Re- publican leaders of his state. That is why he is taking his revenge through an Indianapolis newspaper. Not even the state attorney had a chance to see the evidence. The in- ference is very, very plain, Stephen- son and the public are getting bet- ter results than by relying upon the Indiana Republican politicians, The politiclans simply would have hushed up all Stephenson had to {tell. Up to the moment the news- paper expose began in doing so quit effectually. The state attorney is incensed, but he cannot do a thing about it, all the ! evidence being in the hands of the they succeeded newspaper, which is running it as with all the other news- papers getting the story over the | press wires. a serial, Stephenson has nothing to lose. He s “up for keeps." His exposures ought to result in a political up- | heaval in Indiana, it the Hoosiers are not so far gone politically as to be utterly apathetic about how cor- rupt their political leaders happen to be. President Coolidge scems to he linked up on the right side of the Indiana Republican faction.

THE LIVELY BASEBALL Baseball magnates, assembled for a powwow, had before them the question of the lively baseball. You guessed it—they decided the ball was not too lively; that the home runs being registered were due to poor pitching rather than goot bats- | men. One of the things that discourages good pitching is the knowledge that | the ball can be driven over the fence so easily. It might be, as the magnates claim, that the pitchers of the present day are not uniform- ly as clever as those of other years; but the boys of the past did not have | such a lively ball to contend with, | either. The magnates like the home run | hitting; that is the crux of their de- | cision, The fans like to see the| baseball swatted out of the lot. They will pay to see swatting quicker than they will pay to see some pitcher bend all around the batters. There is less monotony in swatting. Although everyone . ad- mires a pitcher who can tame the hitters, it is not liked when it hap- pens too frequently. ‘em POSTMASTER CENSORS A solicitor in the U. §. post office department having stated that any postmaster can issue an order ban- ning the circulation of anything he considers improper literature at his post office, it remains for one of | them needing publicity to ban the works ‘of William Shakespeare. The New York postmaster has warned a firm of bookselers that a catalog containing ~ an nnnouncc-' ment of “Elmer Gantry” is unmail- able. Even the postmaster general is not powerful enough, it seems, to prevent this local autocrat from do- | ing his stuff. From this it seems clear that any postmaster can prevent political propaganda of the party he doesn't like—and knows which party as a rule the postmasters don't through | | | everyone like—from passing the mails, Somechow we cannot take it for granted that the solicitor of the post office department in Washington is | correct. It is well nigh unbelieveable that a postmaster’s only guide is his -~ prejudice. HAULING THE MAILS Our railroads never think they get ifficient pay to haul the hose of us who were not born yes- | terdgy can remember the day when | they were arguing along pretty much } the same lines as today—that they are losing money on mail trans- portation. The inference is clear that they never earned a cent for this service, Possibly they never will. How much it actually costs to haul the mails is altogether a mat- ter of hookkeeping. A decade or s0 ago, when the issue was being agi- tated by the railroads, the claim was mails. according to the amount of space used, and that fares should be charged for the mail clerks. This failed to meet with public approval. The railroads didn't get what they wanted. Possibly they never will. Now the claim is made that it cost the railroads $137,000,000 to haul the mails last year, while the sum received from the government only totalled $100,000,000. Conse- quently there was a deficit of $37,- 00,000, The railroads, in order to safe in this financial matter, want $40,000,000 additional. Maybe they will get it and maybe they [ won't. i There is evidence galore that the carrying of the mails is considered a profitahle enterprise by the rail- roads—between the periods when de- mands for more money are being of the fastest and best the country operated at least mad.

In order to obtain the mall contract it has to be shown at repeated intervals that this combination of travel gets there quickest. Its profit cannot be denied. It a combination mail and express train like this does not bring.in money then it simply can't-be done. Numerous passenger trains of dis- tinction also exist partly because of mail contracts. The Twentieth Cen- tury, the Broadway Limited, the Capital Limited, all carry mails. The mails they carry cannot do other- wise than bring in a little velvet in additlon to the profit from passen- gers. On the local trains mall service cannot be expensive to handle. The tralns would be operated anyway, and regardless of the poor service given passengers on some of the lines, there are always enough tralns to insure fair mail service. The rallroads have a duty by the public in addition to serving it with passenger transportation.

The latest method is by echoes. An electric oscillator at the surface of the water transmits a sound to the bottom of the ocean.. An apparatus on hoard ship picks up the sound of the echo as it re- turns from the bottom of the sea and a third instrument records the time interval required for the sound to go to the bottom of the ocean and the echo to return. Half of the interval multiplied by the ve- depth of the ocean at that point. Q. Why is the Pope referred to as the “Prisoner of the Vatican'? A, In 1871 the Italian govern- ment seized parts of the papal do- main in Italy. As a protest against this act, the Popes since that time have made themselves voluntary prisoners of the Vatican and never leave i Q. What Is the orogin and mean- ing of the name Stanley? A.

Are snails good to eat? A. Some snalls are edible. They are usually cultivated in special gar- dens. Q. Why is St. Louis, Missouri not in any county? A. The constitution of Missouri adopted in 1875, conferred upon the city of St. Louis the power to frame its own charter and at the same time to separate from St. Louis county. The charter was drafted at the time when the attention of the whole country had been arrested by the shameful and extravagant expendi- ture of public money and the reck- less conduct of public affairs, and the political condition of the country at that time is faithfully reflected in the charter. 25 Years Ago Today Chairman Clark of the health board made an important state- ment to a Herald reporter this aft- ernoon. He sald that at present there is but one house in the city under quarantine for small-pox .nd only one in quarantine for scarlet fever. There are no further cases of contagious diseases, so that, des- pite the rumors flying about the state, therc are really few cities in Connecticut with as clean a bill of health. The members of the choir, Sun- day school, and first communion class of St. Peter's church will have an outing at Compounce Saturday. The party will be accompanied by the pastor, Rev. Father Coppens. Rev. G. E. Pihl's family and Peter Crona’s family, left this morning for Woodstock, where they will remain some weeks. Yesterday afternoon’s rainstorm was a peculiar one in that it rained heavily in the nothern part of the city and mot at all in the southern section. A bolt struck J. M. Curtin's house on Sevmour street, occupied by Officer English and E. L. Clark. Officer McCarthy and Mrs. Goodwin, a nurse, received slight shocks at the TIsolation hospital, and Patrick McGuires' house on Hartford ave- nue was hit. COMMUNICATED A Question Ahont Collections in Walnut Hill Park. July 14, 1927, it is that the Chautauqua can put on entertainments in Walnut Hill park and charge admission to them, while any. attmept to raise funds to help defray the expenses of the baseball games are positively for- bidden? Recently at one of the “Dusty League” games,, an attempt was made to take upa collection. The movement was promptly stopped by the officer on duty who threatened to put the collector under arrest. The Board of Managers of the “Dusty Leaguc” have been notified that if they will use Willow Brook park in which to play their games, they may solicit contributions with-, out any interference. s Why should this be countenanced in one public park and not in an- | other? Is it an attempt to drive baseball from Walnut Hill park? A BASEBALL FAN. Observations On The Weather Washington, July 15.—Forecast. for Southern New England: Partly cloudy tonight and Saturday.

Depressions are forming in the northern plains states and over the great basin country of Utah. Pressure is rela- tively higher over the lower St. Lawrence valley and in the far Canadian northwest and the north Pacific coast states. Somewhat showery conditions prevail from the central Mississippi valley northeast« ward over the Ohio valley, the lower lake region and portions of New ' England.
