In the consideration of the needless ‘waste of human life nothing stands out any more glaringly than the large number killed each-year while tres- passing on railroad property. In a statement just issued by the New Ha- ven road it is shown that in the past three years there were 442 persons killed and 394 injured by trains while on railroad property as trespassers. Just how a great many people look upon railroad property and the rights which they think they possess thereon is ‘indicated by the attitude which is manifested towards the efforts of a railroad to prevent track walking and the practice of allowing children to play about rallroad property. Resent- ment of efforts to safeguard the Hves of people at dangerous points through the erection of warning signs and fences is frequently displayed by the destruction of both. _The fact that railroad tracks have come to be used so generally as high- ways for travel in making short cuts causes the users to assume rights ‘which Ao not exist. They do not stop 6 “thirtk that they have no more right on rafiroad property than on other private grounds and the general dis- Tegard which results in the loss of #0 many lives has resulted in the passage of special legislation for- bidding track walking as a protection to human life. Not being disposed to take care of themselves it becomes necessary for a eommonwealth to act and after se- curing the needed law to follow it up by enforcing 1t for it is better to have and enforce such laws than to pick up and bury the dead and take care of the cripples. "‘CREPATES BAD IMPRESSION. Once again has F. P. Waish, chair- man of the federal commission on in- dustrial relations come out with a statement regarding the matters ‘Which that body has under Investiga- tich, and egually prompt has John D. Rockefeller been to make reply deny- ipg the accuracy of such statements and declaring that the chairman had mafe inferences which were unwar- ranted. This time it was the trouble in the Colorado mining district that was belng investigated while on the previous occasion it was she Rockefel- ler Fou: and similar organiza- tions. Mr, V/alsh eppears to fee! that the duty is imposed upon him to apply the rod of chastisement to the Rocke- fellers through statements made to the publie- instead of Arawing forth the facts at the time of the hearings and then as one of the members of the féderal board make his report to con- gress, the body appointing. him. such cases as this com- ojesion ‘has talten up, this disposition to supplement investigation by mpri- vate judgment, based upon such facts a8 the authority with which congress i the body has been able to bring ‘forth, has piaced that body in any- thing but a favorable light. { 'Regardiess of whether he is right or whether Mr. Rockefeller is right, Ch ‘Walsh has Deen indiscreet in_publicly criticising the objects of ifdonl inquiry, Any and all such statements should have come over ithe signatures of the entire commis- ;sion and that communication directed :to' thé Body that created them. The situation into which Mr, Walsh has plunged indicates that an investiga- ton of the federal commission might e & good thing. EXPORT TRADE, From the breaking out of the war wrid & realization of just what it meant, it has been understood that an op- portunity of unusual proportions con- tronted this country in supplying the agarkets which were hound to suffer from the entrance of the European tountries into the conflict. Whether ‘he United States has responded to as great an extent as it would had there bcen a definite assurance of a long war s d@oubtful, but that it has seen 'he chance for a large increase in ex- yort business and accepted it is dis- by the report thet for the past hree morniths the exportations and the resgiting dalance in trade exceeded all srevious Mdcords. ! This means activity in many lines viich would not otherwise be expe- Yepeing such businees. The war or- ders which are being filled in this country and to a certain extent in this state run well into the millions. It is business which is dependent upon the war and which must be governed entirely by the war, but there is a certain amount of it which is going to neutral countries which is taking the place of business which the war- ring countries formerly did. There is a prospect for permanency in this trade which cannot be overlooked for it is going to be some time before the European factories will be able to get back to their normal condition after the war ends. This country must therefore give careful attention to retaining what may properly be looked upon as the permanent foreign trade of the future, as well as handling the war orders. LUXEMBURG'S PLIGHT. Complaint is now being made by the ruler of defenseless Luxemburg that its neutrality is being violated. Tt is a belated cry and one that can hard- ly be expected to make a country that is engaged in a great war sit up and take notice. It lies in the path of the German army and it is fortunate indeed that it has not suffered all the ravages that have befallen Belgium. Yet while it may be cognizant of the devastation from which it has been spared in comparison with its neigh- bor which was able to and did make some defense of its rights, there is nothing in the code of justice which warrants the flagrant and continued violation of its sovereignty. There is nothing which should give another the privilege of using it as its own and imposing upon the people hardships and suffering because of a quarrel in which it is not interested and is not participating. There are many effects whieh Lux- emburg, like Holland, must and doubt- less does expect, because of its pos tion between two millstones, and which other countries feel indirectly, but from the very attitude which it has main- talned from the start through not at- tempting to obstruct the armies of Germany it is deserving of consider- ation which it is not receiving. There is no good reason why Luxemburg should be trampled upon and when it makes an appeal and cries hands off it should be respected. What should be done and what is being done are as different as two breeds of cats and from the experiences during the war it looks as if the grand duchy would have to grin and bear it the best it cun, pitied though it must be, FEDERAL QUARANTINE. While it is not to be expected that the various forms of plague such as typhus, cholera, smallpox or bubenic will be so carelessly dealt with at the different ports through which immi- grants enter this country as to threat- en the people of the United States, it is nevertheless time that full precau- tions should be taken against any such possibllity. They are raging in Eu- rope and it is to be hoped that they will be so handled there that they can be effectively checked right where they are, yet it is impossible to establish too careful a guard in dealing with cases which those who seek to enter this country may bring. Just at the present time it is being strongly urged that the control of the quarantine station at the port of New York, through which the greatest num- ber of foreigners come, be changed from state to federal. It is a matter which concerns far more than New York and the most effective method of combating any possible invasion by such dread diseases should be em- vloyed. The transfer is being urged by many authorities who are familiar with the requirements and by many others who are thproughly acquainted with the present methods existing at New York quarantine.. What is need- ed is to get this important duty as far away from politics as possible. Ac- complishment is sought and if {his can better be assured through federal con- trol it furnishes the best of reasons why the change should be made and why New York should be anxious to make the transfer. Certainly the bar- ring of any kind of plague should get first consideration . EDITORIAL NOTES. April has provided most everything except the customary showers.

Some time after their departure the baby, sitting eleepily in her high chair, looked seraphically across the table at her uncle. “Coo-coo,” she said. Uncle Tom shook his head, ‘No more,” he said. “You've had your coo-coo. Now it’s beddy-bed.” The baby looked doubtful. c00?” she inquired. Uncle Tom picked her up from her high chair and tossed her, with affec- tionate ferocity, up to his shoulder, then broke into an enchanting gallap, which brought forth shrieks of joy from the infant. * At the foot of the stairs the baby leaned over and looked into his face with sweetly alluring eyes. *‘Coo-coo,” she murmured. Uncle Tom gently lowered her from his shoulder and set her on the balus- ter. “Now, look here, young one,” he said earnestly, “let’s settle this thing before we go any farther. You've had your cooky. You're just full of cook- jes and other provender and now you"re going to bed. Do you under- stand? The baby's lips quivered. coo?” she ventured again. Uncle Tom sighed. Then he lifted her up again and proceeded upstairs. “Coo- “Coo- “Now, we must lie down and go sleepy-sleep,” said Uncle Tom firmly, when the two had had a final | ood night romp. The baby wiggled. “Coo- <00,” she demanded. Uncle Tom groaned. “Person of one idea,” he said oracularly. “You can- not have any more c00-coo to-might.” The baby withdrew her tiny feet from under the bedclothes and scram- bled down from the bed. “Coo-coo,” she announced emphatically. “No,” said Uncle Tom, putting her back with some force and smoothing the covers dewn over her. The baby promptly kicked them off. *“Coo-coo,” she repeated angrily. The next mo- ment she was out of bed and scamp- ering across the room. Uncle Tom darted after her. “Coo-coo,” he screamed_fiercely beating as much of him as she could reach with her tiny fists. Uncle Tom retreated and regarded her distractedly. “I don't know what it will do to your little insides, but I don’t see how it can be any worse for you than this sort of thing,” he apos- trophized. “So here goes! Will you let uncle go and get a cooky for you while you lie still in bed?” The baby allowed him to put her back in her crib and when he returned with a sweet cracker accepted it and munched it contentedly. ~When she had finished she turned a pair of bright eves up at him. “Coo-coo?” she queried. The echoes of his howl of despair had not died away before the baby was out of bed and running across the floor. Uncle Tom caught her by the tail of her tiny nightgown. “But you can’t have any more,” he in- sisted. “They’ll give you all kinds of things; cramps, stomach ache, appen- dicitis; terrible things!” But the baby was not open to con- viction along these lines. “Coo-coo! she announced implacably. Uncle Tom sighed for the fifth time. Then he surrended and handed her an- other cracker. At midnight the baby’s mother, creerful and radiant, found Uncle Tom, his once sturdy six feet, of manhood reduced to a mere pulp, painfully tracking back and forth across the bedropm floor, his small niece sitting bolt upright in his arms, her eyes shin- ing like stars, the remains of a cooky THE WAR PRIMER By National Geographic Society Denmark—One of the many strands in the wonderfully complex web of world commerce that has felt the se- vere strain of war is the Danish but- ter trade. Danish butter, Russian caviar, French champagne, Norweglan sardines, and Strassburg pate de foie gras are articles standing alone among their several kinds—special luxuries that Fate dispenses only to her fav- orites. The butter _of Denmark has been famous around the world, and heretofore it sold everywhere that people were to be found with wealth enough to develop special tastes. The war has largely interferred with this rich industry. Denmark’s butter brought the high- est price in fancy markets, and it was considered superior to that of any oth- er nation. It was used by the epicures in North and South America, South Africa, in the East and West Indies, in Egypt, India, and throughout Eu- rope. Good Danish butter sold at $1.00 a pound, in tins of one, two, and three pounds. Cows in other lands seem just as sleek and the grass grows elsewhere just as succulent, But, de- epite these general advantages, no other country has been able to make a butter that will stand the changes of climate so well, or that tastes so crisp and sweet. Dairymen in Holland, Sweden and Siberia have done their utmost to pro- duce a butter that could vie with the make of the Danes without success. The best butters of these countries are worth less than half as much. Scien- tific dairy operators in Germany also failed to duplicate it. Even from the milk of the cows of the United States, animals favored beyond most others, it has been found impossible to pro- duce a grade of butter that can com- pete with the Danish article. Danish butter is nst all climate. Butter, when shipped through the hot zones, melts and remains in a liquid state as long as it is exposed to the tropic heat. Danish butter goes through this test, melts with the heat and hardens with the cold, end still retains the wholesome sweetness of its flavor, while other butter loses its sweetness and flavor under these changes. The Danes do not explain the su- periority of their product. They as- sert that there is no secret in their proces of butter manufacture, but, nevertheless, they are reticent about taking strangers through their greas packing establishments. The Dan. ish commission houses buy the butter which they pack from small dairles all over the country, some of their material coming as far away as Fin- land. This raw, butter, so they sy, is taken and mixed carefully at their central packing stations, and is work- ed over again in order to free it from every particle of milk. The packers insist that the raw butter which they buy must be prepared only from ster- ilized milk and cream, and that it must be prepared in ecientifically clean surroundings. After these packers have re-worked the butter, they color it uniformly with the julce of the ordinary garden beet, and it in hermetically seal- ed tins, maintain that they use no prefervatives or chemicals whatsoever. Nevertheless, their but- ter has consistently held the advan- tage, and, until the war’s outbreak, it formed the basis of one of k'S most thriving and widest articles of «export.”! in her small hand. “Co0-co0!” she demanded the stant her eyes fell up her parent. “So that's a coo-coo!” observed Un- cle Tom when peace had settled upon them and he stood looking down on the small girl whose head was buried contentedly in the most soiled small comforter he ever had seen. “It was not a yearning for cookies but for that unspeakable object that has turned what might otherwise have been a megraant occagion into a night of hor- ors? “You see, I've never been able to get her to go to sleep without it,” broke in the infant's mother hurriedly, “and I thought ehe would have to learn to do it some time—" “And may I ask why you chose this time of all others for beginning her education in this particular?” demand- ed Uncle Tom through clinched tee “Well, I didn't exactly choose it, said the baby's mother, hastil “In fact, 1 forgot—it was so dirty, you know, that it just had to be washed, anyway, and so I—she usually knows where it is herself. Im sure I've never been able to hide it from her before— I'm awfully sorry—" ‘Tom fixed her with a haggard glare. Then he stalked to the door. in- “Words fail me,” fore he disappeared. “Yet I feel that I must make one remark: The next time that I volunteer to take charge of your—ahem—innocent — offspring while you disport yourself at disreput- able tango teas—" “It was a perfectly lovely dinner,” the baby’s mother interrupted him, “and you offered——" Tom waved her protestations aside he said just be- “The next time,” he continued, “that I do this thing, you will, I think—in fact, I may say that I am thoroughly convineed, vou will know it.” And with this remark he departed to his well earned repose.—Chicago News.

New Haven, April 26 1915 OTHER VIEW POINTS The New Haven railroad earned $264,000 in March over all expenses, whereas a year ago it showed a deficit for the same month of $245,000. For the nine months ending March 31, it earned a net profit of $870,000, as against a_deficit of $1,727,000 for the corresponding period a year ago. The New Haven is coming back, and the process is being hastened by the ac- tivity in the brass and machinery cen- ter of Connecticut and Rhode Island, all of which are growing busier on war orders.—Waterbury Republican. In New Jersey a short time ago a child was thrown into a small stream and a Newfoundland dog pushed in after it. The dog refused to play its part at the proper time and the boy sank twice. An autoist stopped near the bridge and denounced the “movie” actors, one of whom plunged into the water full clothed in time to save the child. The little fellow was wrapped in blankets and whisked away in an antomobile. If full grown individuals want to take the risk of crazy stunts to_tickle the jaded mentality of the public, well and good, but children ought not to be subjected to conditions which might easily become fatal. Meriden Record. Between the Connecticut law, which thus allows dangerous weapons to be freely circulated, and the New York law, which prohibits thefr use as ligitimate weapons of defense in the home, there ought to be some sort of a sensible compromise possible. Such a compromise would be the strict licens- ing by the authorities of the sale of weapons, just as the carrying of such weapons is now licensed by the au- thorities. Under this system, a re- sponsible person who wished to keep a pistol in the house for the protection of his home, could do so, but a per- son who did not have good reason for the possession of such a weapon, could not buy one in the stores.— Bridgeport Telegram. Patience is always rewarded. = For two decades Middlesex county politi- clans played into the hands of the powers that be and deprived the peo- ple of the county of transportation facilities enjoyed by other counties of the state. Now the jitney has come to help and destroy what came of its own accord to make a big system complete. And it might be added that some of those keeping awake nights fearful that the people in this section would have trolley extension because they, did not need it personally, will be the very ones to jump aboard any old kind of an outfit to get their destina- tion, in order to keep up to the crowd. Patience has its reward in several ways and some of the politicians of the past can now see it as clear as they can the passing jitneys by their door.—Middletown Press. The majority of the judiciary com- mittee has reported favorably upon a bill which will permit cities, towns and boroughs to pass ordinances al- lowing moving picture theaters to open Sunday evenings from seven to eleven o'clock. Eleven out of the thirteen members of the committee appear to favor this proposal. What the fate of the bill will be we cannot say. It is not to be denied that the move is in the epirit of the times, But it must also be admitted that there is still a great element In the state which is 0] d to any liberalizing of the Sabbath. There are some, even, who ‘would make the law more rigorous than at present, but that can never be done. It would cause a revolution which® would swing the pendulum far over and work for a wide open Sun- day in the end. This does not seem to be desirable.—Bridgeport Post, The season for window screens is close at hand and oné wonders how long it will be before they can be dis- pensed with altogether. - Tt all de- pends upon how long it takes to learn to apply the principles of “clean up” campaigns the year ‘round.

IF BACK HURTS BEGIN ON SALTS Flush the Kidneys at once when Back- achy or Bladder bothers—Meat forms uric acid. No man or woman who eats meat regularly can make a mistake oY flushing the kidneys occasionally, says a well-known authority. Meat forms uric acid which clogs the kidney pores so they sluggishly fiiter or strain only part of the waste and poisons from the blood, then you get sick. Nearly all theumatism, headaches, liver trou- ble, nervousness, constipation, dizzi- ness, sleeplessness, bladder disorders come from sluggish kidneys. The moment you feel a dull ache In the kidneys or your back hurts, or if the urine is cloudy, offensive, full vi sediment, irregular of passage or at- tended by a sensation of scalding, get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any reliable pharmacy and take a tablespoonful in a glass of water be- fore breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. Tals famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, conbined with lithia and has been used for genera- tions to flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them to activity, also to neutralize the acids in urine so it no longer causes irriation, thus ending bladder _disorders. Jad Salts s Inexpensive and can- not injure; makes a delightful effer- vescent lithia-water drink which all regular meat eaters should take now and then to keep the kidneys clean and the blood pure, thereby avolding serious kidney complications. ——————————— If such a condition is possible in a city of over 2,000,000 people, it is possible, for Bridgeport. A new method of fighting mosquitos is being tried in San Antonio, Texas, with success. In- stead of spending large sums of money in destroying the breeding places of the mosquito, San Antonlo is simply raising an army of bats and leaving the work of extermination to them. The city has its municipal bat-roost and the ungainly creatures are de- veloped in great numbers. They amply pay for their lodgings in the pursuit of their board, so efficlent are they as mosquito catchers. —Bridge- port Standard. Stories of the War Story of The Emden. A belated but amusing account of the German cruiser Emden’s visit to the island of Diego Garcla, a blissful spot in the Indian ocean, has reached London by mail. Diego Garcia is a British possession peopled by 40 Eu- ropean and 500 natives. The great world war had been under way for four months when the Emden reached the little island, but the people of the island had received no mails for six months and had no suspicion of what had been passing. So when the Em- den sailed in one day the elderly “manager” of the island paid a pleas- ant call upon Capt. von Muller. The Emden had come to Diego Car- cia, explained Capt. von Muller, to re- fill her coal bunkers and remove the weeds that had been growing under her hull. But when the island mana- ger asked what brought the ship to that out-of-the-way corner of the world, the captain replied: “I am car- out maneuvers with the British The manager accepted the ex- planation, and passed from the sub- ject. There were other news events of greater interest to him than naval maneuvers. What of the home rule bill? Was there really any risk of civil war, over it? Capt. von Muller professed to have no information on that subject. But he did know, he said, that the pope was dead. The captain was so pleasant gener- ally that the old manager said he would have liked to pay him a sec- ond visit had not an accldent to the machinery of his motorboat prevented him. Von Muller was distressed to hear this and sent two of his engin- eers ashore at once to repair the damage. The manager was charged with this spirit of courtesy and en- treated the captain to come ashore and STOMACH UPSET?

The reform proposed by the Berlin police in abolishing street signs, or other inscriptions in French, English, and German is intended to very thor- ough. Even the signs “on parle fran- cais” (French spoken), and “English spoken here”, often seen on shop-win- dows, are to be taboo. Shopkeepers will not be permitted to announce that they are “purveyors to His Majesty the King of England”, or of any other hostile court. a measure which wil] require tne removal of hu dreds of elaborate signs. Barbers still be permitted to call themsely friseur”, but the word must be spe ed German fashion, “frisoer” Oth: barbership signs, however, will have g0, including “ondulation”, “coiffeu: “manicure”, “pedicure”, etc. For the word “parfuemerle” (per fumery), the word “Dufterzeugnisse”, (literally, “fragrance-products” is pro- posed. The word ‘grand” is forbiddes to hotels, restaurants, cafes, etc. For] “Kostumes” (the Germans spell it witj a “k”) “Jackenkleider” is proposed a substitute. The reforms propose will be carried through by argume: and persuasion, if possible, but if thi: fails, the extensive power of the policd will be resorted to.
