THE CONFERENCE THAT WAS Almost unlimited possibilities were opened when President Cool- idge sponsored the naval arma- ments conference which has just come a rather ignominious end in Geneva. it might have been possible to reduce cruiser and auxillary ves- sels in the leading navies to a mere handful of police boats, reducing naval expenditures proportionately and’ eliminating naval rivalry to in- nocuous desuetude. The United States has had disil- lusioning experiences at almost all the “conferences” in which it has taken part. It is a common statement that' the United States won the war but 'lost the peace conference, and though this is an exaggeration it fit- ly describes the mental attitude of the American public toward the in- ternational round table discussions which have become such common occurrences since the war. Now we have virtually failed in one that was specially conducted by the American government. Failure stalked the thing from the first. France and Italy, courteously invit- ed, equally as courteously declined. Britain and Japan accepted. It look- ed momentarily as if something worthwhile would happen. At the Washington arms limita- tion conference we had agreed to limit our battleship fleet, at the same time abandoning a prospective 'y on the other nations, however, did not give up the ships in which they were superior. They had the cruisers and | still have most of them. The last conference In Geneva was to reduce cruisers, mainly. Eng- land trotted out her plan to increase cruisers, although admitting parity if'we cared to run wild on the seas with ‘her. Also, she wanted smaller crujsers having less crulsing radius. Having a plenitude of coaling sta- tions scattered throughout the globe and many steamships that could be converted into small cruisers, this ' would, give her an advantage. Uncle Sam needs larger cruisers if they are to be of any value to him. And there were a host of other points _borught up, including the size of guns. The smailer the guns allowed on eruisers, the more effective the British cruiser-converted shipping would became in the case of emer- gencles. Lacking world-wide coaling statlons, Uncle Sam needs larger erulsers with a large cruising radius; and larger guns in proportion to keep them superfor to converted cruisers, etc. On these points there was no agreement because the men at the conference were adamant. Only the Japanese were willing to make con- cesslons and these did there best to _bring about a tangible result; Japan | has no money to spend on warships | these days. Now it is possible to reach an agreement by . direct negotiation. | That was possible in the first place, although the futile. conference .will | stimulate as nothing else could have done the advantage of direct dick- | ering. g bt In a sense there has been a lot of | fuss over nothing.

Another is planned between Detrolt and Windsor, where such a structure should have existed years ago. CHESTNUT STREET PAVING Repaving of Chestnut street, Main, {is proceeding slowly—very slowly. The street has been torn up for weeks. Delays evidently have been numerous, and unquestionably is due to the lack of facllity with which the Connecticut company moves its tracks. At least, the board of public works will have this an- swer ready; while the Connecticut company, we have no doubt, could tell a quite plausible tale to show that the city itself is to blame. Some day in the future, however, the street will be completed. The street isn't wide enough to permit of at much parking—especially with a trolley track taking up considerable of the space—so what does it mat- ter? PATAS ALONG HIGHWAYS It seems nearly ridiculous for any- {one to be walking along a public | highway in these days of faster traveling by motor; but it is being done, especially by people who hap- pen to reside in the vicinage of such highways. A movement was the last | paths along certain state roads, but nothing came of it because it meant the expenditure of started during legislature to construct funds. Gasoline tax money, it appears, is not in- tended to construct footpaths. There have been an excessive number of deaths of highway walk- ers this spring and summer; even the 90-foot Milford pike chronicled such a death the other day. As long as people are forced to walk along the highways, be their number ever so small, they are en- titled to protection. Along most of the state roads the construction of footpaths on each side would not en- tail much engineering genius nor much expenditure. It is the state’s duty to protect citizens from a dan- ger that under present conditions cannot be avolded in any other manner, 1 A TALE OF TWO PARTIES ‘The grand old party these days is wondering who to whether the cool and calculating Calvin shall he drafted despite the meaning of ‘choose;” or whether brothers Hoover, Lowden, al, shall be encouraged not to run away from the nomination fireworks dis- play. The party of the i. e, the Democratic party—is in just as lamentable a quandary. Its strongest potential, the redoubtable Al Smith, is opposed by all the Ku Kluxers, drys and religious con- tenders in the party, and they are at least very strong in numbers and influence. The party is confronted with the possibility of not putting forth its strongest foot, but being forced to choose a weaker hrother.

Members of the American | Federation of Musiclans who bring home the bacon by dispensing jazz will agree. It's a poor jazz player who doesn’t himself an artist.

Ask one, confidentially. CANOE SPOONERS It is learned from no less an authority than the United States government that canoes are popular as vehicles for spooners. That's the word the government uses, although the more modern term is “petters.” ‘We had about come to the con- clusion that canoes were good for no other purpose than to upset and cause drownings. At least, our col- league in the realm of righteousness, the New York World, has been at pains to show that the canoe is the most dangerous animial afloat. But now we cannot do otherwise than agree with the government that they have other uses. For example, down on the Poto- mac river the waters at night are canoes containing loving couples that the craft are a menace to navigation. Several thou- sands of them, it is reliably reported, clutter up the darkest recesses of the shoreline. = The government is not irate about the spooning business per se; not at all, as Uncle Sam is liberal-minded enough to realize there is a time for all things. What he objects to is the place and the fact the myriads of canoes travel about without lights. Where there is traffic congestion, even on a river, there must be lights, is the edict. So the Bureau the Department of anpouced that spooners’ canoes in any and all -harbors of the United States must be equipped with lights. Fancy a canoe with lights—es- pecially a canoe built for two spoon- ers? Herbert Hoover is boss of the Commerce department. If he wants of Navigation of Commerce has any petting votes when he runs for | president he had better see that this obnoxious rule is rescinded. HAULING PASSENGERS American railroads report reluct- antly that the summer is producing less passenger business than had been anticipated. The Boston & Maine management explains the de- crease by the observation that, though some automobile owners have returned to the railroads for transportation, other new car owners ve turned away from them. “Whether this diagnosis is correct is debatable, but at least alludes to the chief reason why there are fewer train riders. The New Haven railroad Is one of the heaviest passenger carriers, its mileage considered, in the entire United States. What part of its in- come is due to passenger traffic is not clear, but it cannot be as high as that of the Pennsylvania, which is pre-eminent as a passenger haul- er. Ofticial report by the Pennsyl- vania has it, however, that only 20 per cent of its income comes from passenger traffic, so that in the case of the New Haven its passenger per- centage must be radically less. When the railroads speak of pas- senger business, however, they in- clude commuting business. The New York Times some time ago printed a compilation of the per- centage of commuters compared with through travelers using the New York terminals and found that in the Pennsylvania station, which is also used by the railroad, there one through traveler to every 20 commuters. The _investment incident to the sta- tion and the tunnels is very high for the accommodation of such a preponderating percentage of com- paratively ha Long Island was low-priced commuters, Tt is lucky that hauling passen- gers is only half the function of a railroad. Tt is the heavy freight lines that have least to worry about. Some of the most prosperous railroads we have arc light ‘pas- senger haulers. Freight traffic does not require fancy terminals, either. “pay the freight.”” and expensive Freight trains D CITIZ Down in Waterbury there is a man who has given in the neighbor- hood of halt a million dollars for { civic affairs, His latest was a gift of $5,000 for park purposes. .

It is a theory of economics that declares that it is for the best interests of the community that the massed accumulations of privately owned capital should be the basis for all production. Capital repre- sents all forms of wealth whether land, timber and mineral resources, water power as well as all forms of machinery, merchandise and certain indefinable things such as good will and money and credits. Capitalism contrasts with Socialism which de- clares that the land and natural re- sources as well -as the tools of proe duction which constitute capital should belong to the public, and that the profits of industry should be dis- tributed exclusively to the producers instead of being distributed between the producers and the private own- ers of capital, Q.—What makes the stars twinkle? A. The apparent twinkling of stars is due to the interference of light rays reaching us from them which, in passing through the earth’s atmosphere, encounter and are inter- fered with by particles of floating dust and other substances in the earth’s atmosphere. Q. Why does one breath when he runs? A. Because the amount of energy required for this exertion puts an extra strain on the heart which must pump additional blood; this in turn requires that the lungs supply additional amounts of oxygen, there- by making it necessary to take more air into the lungs and when the ea- pacity for doing this work approach- es its maximum, one gets the feel- ing of being out of breath; one can- not supply air fast enough to meet the requirements of oxygen which the blood needs to supply the muscles which are furnishing the energy for running. Q. Is William Farnum still play- ing on the screen? What was his last picture? A. He has retired from the screen. His last picture was “The Man Who Fights Alone.” He has been playing on the stage in various cities in “The Buccaneer.” Q. Who is the oldest movie star? A. Probably Ruby Lafayette, aged 81. Q. Who was Schuyler Colfax? A. Speaker of the United States House of Representatives from 1863-1867. Q. What is the meaning of the phrase “Semper Fidelis et Audax"? A. Always faithful and bold. Q. 1Is there any way in which grease and ofl stains may be re- moved from leather? A. Dab the spot carefully with get out of allowing it to act for a while, wash with clean water. Repeat the treat- ment if necessary, being careful not to injure the color of the leather. Q. What is the nationality and origin of the name Ferguson? A It Scotch and means n of Fergus.” Fergus was a mythical king of Scotland. According to a fictitious chronology he was the son of Ferchard, first king of Scotland; came to Scotlaid from Ireland about 330 B. C. to repel an invasion of the Picts and Britons; and was drowned on his return off Carrick- fergus, which was named for him. Q. Do collective nouns take a singular or plural verb? A. Sometimes they take a singu- lar and sometimes a plural verb. ‘When the persons or things denoted are thought of as individuals, the plural should be used. When the collection is regarded as a unit, the singular should be used. Q. What does a ceed to property in joint tenancy to man and his wife mean? A. That.the property 1is their joint property during both their lives, and on the death of one of them, the title to the whole property goes to the survivor. Q. What is the largest reservoir in the world and in the United States? A. Tt is probably the one formed by the Assuan dam across the River Nile, which supplies water for irri- gation in Egypt. The volume of water impounded is_ reported about 28,000 billion gallons. In the list of reservoirs in the United States tabu- lated in the Engineering News-Re- cord for May 11 and October 5, 1922 the largest is.formed by the Ele- phant Butte dam on the Colorado river in New Mexico and was built for irrigation purposes by the Unit- ed States reclamation service. It has a capacity of 863 billion gallons. Q. What two countries raise the most rice? A. India and China. Observations On The Weather Washington, Aug. 5.—Forecast for Southern New England: Fair tonight and Saturday. Not much change in temperature. Moderate westerly winds. Forecast for Eastern New York: Fair tonight; slightly cooler in cen- tral and north portions; Saturday fair; rising temperature in interior. Moderate northwest winds, b Conditions: The depression noted vesterday over western Ontario and the upper lake region has advanced eastward to the lower St. Lawrence valley. It will pass out to sea to- night. Pressure has fallen over New England and Connecticut is on the southern edge of this disturbance. A depression off Cape Hatteras still persists. There has been a gradual rise of pressure in the interior sec- tions of the country east of the plains states. Showers occurred principally in the southern states from Arkansas eastward to Georgia and the Carolinas. Disturbances noted west of the Mi: sippi river and forming over Manitoha and Utah. The sluggish eastward move- ment of the high pressure now covering the Mississippi valley has resulted in local heating generally throughout the interior districts and the 60 temperature line extends northward over the plains states to Manitoba. Tt is still cool. however, in the districts of the upper lake region and over Ontario, also over the northern Rocky mountain dis- tricts.

Hungary, Aug. 5 (P Opposition parties in Rumania, while ostensibly manifesting loyalty to the new sovereign and the regency, say dispatches from Bucharest, actually would welcome any change in the dynasty that would overthrow- the regime of Pfemier Bratiano. Former Crown Prince Curol is de« clared to be still popular with cer« tain sections of the army, although perhaps somewhat less so than six months ago, and many Rumanians are represented as believing that his return either secretly or légally is not excluded as a possibility. It is even stated that, realizing this, M. Bratiano has ordered a double guard to keep utmost vigil- ance at all border points where Carol might attempt to enter the country. The Bucharest dispatches say that efforts are being made by the Ru- manian government to induce eatly recognition of the boy king -Michael and his regency by the foreign gov+ ernments. * Thus far, it is added, not a single foreign representative has presented his credentials to the new regime, the comment being ~made that all the foreign countries ap- parently want first-to satisfy them< selves that the boy sovereign.and his supporting regents have come ta stay; that Carol will not make an attempt to upset the throne. A few days after King Ferdinand's funeral, the Rumanian foreign of« fice sent out feelers to members ‘of the diplomatic corps in Bucharest to determine whether thelr-governe ments were ready to have them:pres sent fresh letters of credence to the new king. Most of the ministers found a solution to the awkward situation by absenting themselves on “vacation” from Bucharest, - and sending a brief note to the Rumans ian foreign office explaining it might be better to take up the ques- tion of presenting-their credentials upon their return to Bucharest in the autumn.
