YWe note with amazement that one »¢ our super-valued contemporaries printed an editorial denouncing the state politicians for running up the cost of government, and on the same page printed another editorial advo- cating that the state purchase Charter Oak park. The curb market seems to be something which never curbs the speculators. The governor's inaugural message is to be longer than his message of last year. By the way, just how long was that message? At York, Pa., they are having the first witcheraft trial in 200 years and 200 newspaper men are on hand to chronicle the unfolding of this page from the modern Americana. There was no such publicity in the Salem business and that perhaps is why there has been so much conjecture ever since. SNOW LOADING Rather than accede to the exac- tions of a private contractor who owned a snow-loading machine the ¢ity has gone ahead and purchased its own apparatus. Whatever the ex- actions were it seems to us that the contractor was at a disadvantage. He had money invested in the contrap- tion and had to stand prepared to operate it. And he had to figure in a little profit. Obviously, he had to charge a fair price for his work. The city, too, now has money in- ~ested in such a machine, but municipal enterprises don't figure like private folk. They figure like the post office—the money invested merely represents an appropriation and then there is no interest to worry about.. What is paid for is past and there is nothing more to say. Likewise, the city has enough men in the public works department to operate the machine or not, and when they don’t run the contraption they do something else. Lastly, there is no profit to figure. No, the contractor couldn't com- pete with the city. Municipal owner- ship, even of such a municipal toy as a snow-loading machine, is hard for a private individual to touch. But the question is, is there go- ing, to be any snow this winter? The ‘Wall street and Church street odds today are quoted at 50-50, THE RAIDING INDUSTRY No. 2 of the cities which have come to grips with the crime situa- tion has attained public attentlon. After Police Commissioner Grover Whalen registercd such success in New York, after only a week of ef- fort, 1t was natural to expect another city to enter the ranks of crime hunting. Let there be many more: for if there is one thing the country needs thoroughly it isa semblance of cnergy and the iron fist by the vari- ous police departments. The situation in Chicago Helghts, ifke that in Cicero, TIL, has long heen in league with the underworld \arons.

THE CROATS AROUSED Four million Croats in the popu- lation of 13,000,000 which makes up | Jugoslavia demand more autonomy than they have been receiving. Their refusal to recognize the parliament or its parties was somewhat justified in view of what happened last June, when their leader Stefan Raditch iand two other Croat deputics were "shot by & member of the Serbian Radical party. The riots and murders which followed resulted in a boycott of the parliament by the Croats. But the Belgrade government failed to meet thelr demands, sending instead a milltary governor to Zagreb, the Croat capital, and suspending what- ever local autonémy remained. Con- sequently the suspension of the Jugoslavian constitution by King | Alexander leaves them in no worse 'situation than they were, rather clip- ping the wings from the Serbian Radicals, in control of parliament, who have been doing their utmost to countervene the political aspirations of the Croats. All executive and administrative authority of moment is now in the hands of the king, and it remains to be seen whether he as a dictator will grant autonomy or & semblance thereof to the Croats, or whether he will attempt to improve upon the past tactica of the late parliament. The Croats are too large a part of the nation to be stepped on per- manently. For the king to attempt this might lead to a revolution, and a poor and politically battered state is in no position to combat revolu- tions. The king probably believes he can ameliorate the problem by deal- ing fairly with his 4,000,000 rebel- lious subjects in view of how the former parliament failed for lack of eftort. It means, however, one more dictator in Europe. | The dificulty in Jugoslavia is due |to the fundamental error' of the | Treaty of Versallles in creating Jugo- slavia out of such heterogeneous strips of territory as Serbia, Mon- tenegro, Bosnla, Herzegovina, Dal- matia, and Croatia. The old Austro- Hungarian empire was a patch quilt; but the present Jugoslavia is no bet- ter and possosses less cohesive strength. The treaty framers prob- ably anticipated that the representa- tives of the various states would pull together; in reality, they have pulled 'apart. The monarchy and the unity of the kingdom are at stake. The king has taken hold in a bold manner. Forced cohesion, or an explosion, is ‘Xn prospect. ) SAFE-CRACKING Safe-cracking is a precarious oc- cupation. It is like gambling, or making a pile on the stock market. The money comes easily and the en- terprise of the accumulators in- creases, Finally the crackers crack one safe too many and are caught. We have yet to learn of a judge or 'a Jury who felt kindly disposed to- ward safe-crackers. The jobs which have been per- petrated in this city recently give | us the impression some saps are out | "tor a terrible beating at some court of law. As is the case in a crowded bus, there is always room for three ! or more at the stately institution at | | Wethersfield, | i THE DEADLY AIR MAIL Men who pilot the air mail are hu- man beings and they like to live as well as the rest of us. Many of them are men of families. They should not be compelled to run unneces- sary risks. Alr flying is risky enough in or- dinary weather, as the high ratio of accidents abundantly testify; but ordinary flyers do not need to go aloft in unfavorable weather. Air mall flyers, however, go aloft in all kinds of weather, It must be an un- usually bad day to discourage the air mail from operating. Another alr mail fatality lLas oc- curred in Connecticut. The weather was wrong for flying, but the air mall tried to operate regardless. The effect on the public would be bad if the air mail operated only in fine weather. Personally we prefer to see the thing made safe and are not much interested in any of our pscudo-im- portant letters arriving at their des- tinations & half day earlier at the risk of the lives of good men and true. ! WRY FEWER MARRIAGES For three years it has been neces- sary for the public prints in Con- men, instead of saving up to pur- |chase a home and installing fixtures therein—as well as a wite—first take to the notion that an automobile is necessary; and when the first ma- chine wears out; they trade it in and buy another. They are in debt to the automobile dealers practically all the time, which discourages deep |thought about financing a house | warming. In the endeavor to oper- ate sport models over the public highways they are aided and abetted by the young things themselves, who nowadays don't seem to wish to travel with a young man. who can- not furnish an automobile. The girls, too, have become more particular as to who they care to marry, having come to the notion through their extensive reading and education that nothing is easier than to woo unhappiness by listening to the blandishments of the wrong kind of fellow. With automobiles on the one hand and extreme particularity on the other it is a simple calcula- tion to find that the marriage rate drops steadily. Occasionally a couple works up sufficient courage to enter the so-called holy bonds of wedlock, ' but they do so with prudence and care. Meanwhile the divorce rate stead- ily increases, the field of operation Trustees, drew 8. Parsons secretary. fire. The molders at Landers, Frary and Clark did not go to work this morn- ing, and it was said a committee would confer with the company dur- ing the day.

ANOTHER CONGRESSMAN POSSIBLE Connecticut is justified ins being exceptionally interested in the re- apportionment battle in Congress, and for two reasons: (1) A Con- necticut congressman, E. Hart Fenn, of the first district (Hartford county) s the national leader in re- apportionment. (2) Connecticut would gain a congressman by reap- portionment. Reapportionment every ten years is demanded by the U. B. Constitu- tion. Congress temporarily nullified this mandate of the Constitution when it failed to reapportion con- gressional representation after the 1920 census. New England is vitally interested in the Fenn bill also, but for reverse reasons. New England would lose two congressmen under it, bringing the total down to 30 members in- stead of 32. Massachusetts, Vermont and Maine would each lose a con- gressman. Reapportionment, as practiced from 1850 to 1900, produced two paradoxes—results which had their influence in causing Congress to withhold reapportionment in 1920, or shortly #fter the decennial census |of that year. In the case of Alabama: In 1888, 299 representatives were apportion- ed to the states, and Alabama re-' ceived eight. When the number of representatives in Congress was in- Alabama received |creased to 300, only seven. In the case of Maine: In 1900 ‘there were 383 representatives in | Congress, ana Maine received four. When the total of representatives | went up to 386 Maine received only ,three; and came back to four when the total representatives reached |388; it dropped to three When the total was 389 or 390, and returned to four when the total reached 391. Thus mathematical surprise even congressmen and cen- sus bureau officials. The same, rule doesn’t always seem to work the same way. Congressmen from Maine and Alabama began to regard the calculations | i i apportionment system 2s a species | of shell game.

To what extent has the in- terior of the earth been explored? A. The interior of the earih is practically inaccessible, in. spite of scientific efforts to penetrate it. Borings have gone scarcely more than a mile down into the interior. | Astronomers have determined that the density of the whole earth is about five and one-half times that of water. The surface rocks of the |earth are only two and a half to three and a quarter times the dens- ity of water. The surface or “skin” of the earth, therefore, is much lighter than the average of the whole earth. Within the unknown interior it is believed there must be i different and much heavier ma- iterials: From the study of the tides iend the configuration of the earth, scientists have determined that the material in the earth’s core must be as rigid as steel. Q. Who was Pagasus? { A. He was the famous winged horse of Greek mythology.
