The present Legiala- ture Is not to be apared an eoffrt to repeal the present standard time law whereby public clocks are not allow- ed to announce daylight saving time. We fear, however, that the cows— not in the Legislature but out on the farms—again will settle the dis- cussion. If Mr. Hoover has a proper appre- ciation of publicity he will heed the clarion call to appoint Colonel Lind- bergh to some cabinet position, so that the nation would have at least one flying official.

It is fortunate indeed that heavy storms are comparatively rare. The general impreasion seems to be that we can stand flood waters once or twice a year; but that does not ameliorate the disgruntled property owners who sutfer property damage each time it occurs. PASSING RESOLUTIONS Paming resolutions is a popular pastime, but more than resolutions are needed to get things across. That was the story at the last hearing be. fore the board of finance and taxa- tion, when Judge William F. Man- San was left to hold the bag himself in connection with certain matters of moment that had been *resoluted” about by the Chamber of Commerce and the civic luncheon clubs. Practical work, such ttending a hearing, is more important than passing resolutiona. NEW BLACK ROCK BRIDGE If the city can obtain a new Black Rock bridge at a cost to itself of $15,000, or half the total, it will be a cheap investment. The present structure is unsightly, is too narrow, requires frequent repairs, and in every other respect is unworthy of the city. It is on the main highway through the city and doubtleas many strangers carry away a bad impres: A sion of the city upon glimpsing this dilapitated structure, . There is no logical reason why a bridge that is so much narrower than the street and which is of & caliber that many a small town would not tolerate, should be allow- ed to remain much longer. There is no logical reason why the Europe. The European statesmen who were in power at the close of the war had grandiose ideas about how to get the money to pay the debts, They were not adepts at figures and decldedly poor economists. Some of their plans, when put into execution, nearly ruined them. All the curren- cles except those of England threat- ened to follow the mark, and even the money of proud Britain for a time was under par. Manifestly. this sort of thing could not continue, and that resulted in the Dawes plan, put into motion by American experts who did not permit their emotions to ryle their minds. Since that time the continental na- tions have learned that a continua. tion of common sense is a necessity it the world is to get back on its feet. It perhaps was not their fault that they could not foresee earlier that no precedents held good in the face of such an enormous interna- tional problem. Reparations and war debts, of course, form the bagis of the troubles. The Dawes plan, in the fifth which began September 1, 1928— or standard year of its application— puts Germany's reparation payments at two and a half billion gold marks, or $595,000,009, a year. From that point on the financial details make one dizzy. The time has arrived for the final bookkeeping and the caliber | of the international committes pre- | supposes a satisfactory ending to this grim drama. It is the policy of the United States not to confuse war debts with reparations. In theory this may be possible, but in practice it is likely that whenever the committeemen think of reparations they likewise The yard is located near the Berlin and New Britain passenger station in this section, The Japanese have won the ini- tial victories in the war with Rus- sia and have disabled seven of the czar's warships.

STARVATION AND SICKNESS The times are bad to millions of people upon this terrestial sphere, In China there is famine in some | provinces and thousands have died of starvation. In Bessarabia, the province for- merly part of Russia but now part of Roumania, the crops were poor and starvation faces thousands un- lesa relief is speedily forthcoming. Tliness holds sway throughout a sreat part of Europe. Influenza is | finding many victims. In Prague un. | dertakers are seven days in arrears in their grim duties. In Paris one. fifth of the population Is down with | the disease, including many govern- | ment officials. | We in the United States are so for- | unate that our main concern con- | rns budgets and taxes. SCANDINAVIA The address given by Professor Adolph Benson of Yale in this city regarding the progress of Scandi- navia doubtless was an eye-opener to many citizens. It is fortunate for & general understanding of these progressive nations that the address received wide publicity. It is true, as the professor says, that the lack of knowledge evidenc- ed by the average American regard- ing Norway, S8weden and Denmark is due to the fact that nearly all American tourists go to Paris ard other continental countries, or go down to Egypt “and have their pic- tures taken riding a camel.” No one seems to think of visiting the re- markable nations included in Scan- dinavia. Perhaps that is also partly due to the fact that the Scandi- navians do not mneed the tourists' money 80 much and make no special effort to attract it. Certain it is that the last thing the people of these nations hope for is to make a sub- stantial part of their income from the spendings of tourists. Everything worthwhile that makes for genuine civilization seems to be cultivated in these prosperous -and progressive nations. Their problems are so few that they are not heard from and discussed in international France and the remainder of the Allies want to know is what good will reparations do them if the United States gets the money? The Rhineland matter also forms a problem, yet it should be easy to solve. France has been eager for “security,” and now, in the estima. tion of neutral observers, has it in the form of the Locarno pact. The plan to evacuate the Rhineland and substitute an allied commission of | control doubtless will go through without much opposition. Particular- ly is this desirable in view of the costs of the Rhineland occupation, which whether charged to Germany or paid by the occupants, leaves that much less to be had in reparations. | In the opinion of many students of international affairs Germany has been paying reparations well enough, | but has been borrowing too much | money from other nations, particu- larly in the United States. It is easy | to pay debts with borrowed money, but eventually that lcads to new diMculties incident to the payment of the newly made debts. The international committee is composed of the best financiers in all the nations. No statesmen—actual or pseudo—are on it. That is well. EXECUTION OF WOMEN There is a half-century old tradi- tion in France against the execution of a woman. President Doumergue accordingly commuted to life im- prisonment the first of four women in Paris who were convicted to die by the guillotine, The same commu- tation of sentence is awaited in the case of the remaining three. It was different in the French Revolutiop: but then, times have changed— Down in Louisiana, however, chivalry is not of woman who was exccuted there last week had to accept the same sen- |tence as her man. Louisiana, by the {way .is the most Frenchy of our states. The same lack of chivalry was evident in New York when Ruth Snyder paid the extreme penalty.

Is there such a thing as a glass or jointed snake? A. The origin of the story of the glass or jointed snake lies in the fact that there is a legless lizard that looks somewhat like a snake, whose tall is very brittle. Ire- quently picces are broken off.
