It may have been an unusual spec- tacle to see Speaker Clark and Minor- ity Leader Mann as they argued side by side in behalf of national defense before the lower house of congress under consideration but showed a gen- eral recognition on the part of the lawmakers of the need of making pro- vision for more officers in the navy and of providing the facilitles for the turning out of new battleships as soon as possible . in order to further strengthen the first line of defense. It was the opening gun of the fight in congress for adequate preparation and it called for just'such a joining of forces as took place. To have done otherwise would have to place poli- tics before country, a position which could never be sanctioned by the peo- ple of tals natlon whichever side may have displayed the opposition. No question has arisen on which unified action needs to be taken more than on this very‘one of putting the defenses of the country in a proper state of preparation for safeguarding its interests and for the maintenance of the peaceful relations with other na- tions for which It has so strongly stood. The cooperation of Congressmen Clark and Mann in this cause is only what the people had a right to expect and it is to be hoped that the sams spirit of serving the country will be manifested throughout subsequent considerations of like matters. MEXICAN LOANS. The question of finances is one which is giving Carranza much con- cern and well it might for money is an essential thing even in the running of a well established government. Ef- forts have been made to secure loans in this country but in view of the chances which surround such propo- sitions and the many other avenues which are open to capital where rea- sonable certainty exists there is noth- ing very surprising over the fact that no one is anxious to encounter the risk which must of necessity accom- pany every dollar put into Mexico. ‘While Carranza may be making progress in his own way he has a tre- mendous struggle before.him to;get that republie back to:.the position where its credit will be as good as it was under Madero or even Huerta for the latter even showed that he was able to borrow. While from the out- side it might appear that Carranza is in control of affairs in Mexico he has not as yet locdted the seat of his gov- ernment at Mexico City and he has apparently made no great strides to- {wards the vast amount of reconstruc- tion work which awalts his direction. It is incumbent upon Carranza to show his ability to straighten out the unenviable tangle in which Mexico's affairs are, to demonstrate the fact that he means business and that a tha: the militia of the various working under one system and head as it would if it was feder- d would be to its own advantage ‘well as that of the government.

EDITORIAL NCTES The man on the corner says: Exper- fence is a dear teacher, but inefficien- cy is rather expensive. Champ Clark makes it evident that reparedness cannot be kicked around while he has a chance to be heard. This has been the kind of a winter which makes the old fashioned people say that it never was like this when I was a youngster. There is apparently ncne of the countries at war which spends so little time thinking about the operations of the enemy as Japan. A few more destructive fires and Canada will have no trouble in secur- ing the additional 20,000 trocps which are being sought for the war.

Ed alwaye was one of these cocky, cheer- ful youths whom you feel impelled to impress or step on or something like that just to keep them in their proper place! I always felt that if Ed got hold of any real money I'd have to lose my temper with him. “He came to spend the holidays with us this time, as usual Every year since Edith and I were married Ed has turned up with his plaster-stuck sultcase, & cheerful smile, a box of handkerchiefs for Edith and some cigars for me. He has been a travel- ing man for a varnish concern since he left college, at a moderate salary. But there was something unreal about Ed's appearance this year. “He had on an overcoat that shout- ed $80 and he had a trunkful of clothes instead of a suitcase. He took us to the opera, and when 1 kept on my bus- iness sult for supposed balcony seats Bd, attired like Solomon, looked po- litely surprised. He said that of course it was all right, but in orchestra seats —well, you should have seen Edith and me chasing upstairs and doing a quick change act! There was a taxi waiting, and when Ed said casually that his own car was bought but de- iivery was slow, I just naturally faint- ed away. When we reached our own home after a $10 supper I took him firmly by the arm. I told him he might just as well confess the location of the bank he had robbed and I would see what I could do to straighten things out for him. “It was then that he told me his preposterous tale of luck! It seems that for years his firm had been trying to 1And the trade of the Rose brothers in a big southern city. To get their trade away from a rival varnish firm became a sort of a mania with Ed's boss. But the Roses were quite ‘well satisfled with the varnish they were selling and would not even bother with listening to the salesman. Each time he was in that vicinity Ed called iETi'ERS TO THE EDITOR This Is 1916, Not 1778 or 1861. Mr. Editor:—In his letter in today’s Bulletin Mr. Cummings states that the discussion is closed so far as he is concerned. I have no desire to pro- long it but there are two or three points in his letter upon which I would like to comment briefly. He states that no patriot would sail upon a belligerent vessel in time of war, a thing which one has a perfect right to do under international law. Following this line of argument if a person should ride upon a street car auring a strike and should be assault- ed by strikers for the act that person, instead of the strikers, would be de- serving of punishment. \ The matter of the frade in mtuni- tions of war has been too widely dis- cussed to need arguing here. How- ever, I fail to see why, because Gar- many is unable to import such sup- plies, we should refuse to furnish them to her enemies. Flad Germany open ports and available ships she could ob- tain arms and ammunition in this ‘country as readily as any nation. I cannot help wondering whether some of the people wha are protesting so vigorously against the traffic in mu- nitions would be as energetic in this direction were conditions reversed and the Teutonic allies were receiving the benefits of this trade. Reference to the “tory aristocracy” of England 1is_ entirély beside the point. Events of the last decade in England, such as_the curtailment of the power of the House of Lords, the election of many laboring men to par- liament, and the presence in the cab- inet of such a prominent labor leader as John Burns ought to convince any- one that the ‘“tory aristocracy” no longer controls England. It is also useless to hark back to the davs of the American revolution. That struggle was brought abqut by the same “tory aristocracy” and throughout the war there was a great deal of sympathy for the colonies by the people of England. Also in our Civil war the ruling class of that day favored the south but the sympathies of the common people were with the north. It is folly to attempt to refight the battles of preceding generations. This ish 1916, not 1776 or 1861. FATR PLAY. Windham, Feb. 7, 1916. Scarlet Fever at Storrs. Mr. Editor: A news item in today's Bulletin indicates the possibility of the spread of scarlet fever by milk bottles taken from my house. My daughter Madeline fell sick on Jan. 13th, her case was diagnosed as scarlet fever on Friday afternoon, Jan. 14th, and a quarantine was_established . Saturday morning, Jan. 15th. Three other cases were recognized as scarlet fever on Sunday, Jan. 16th, and Wwere quaran- tined. Two other cases have appeared since at the college, one outside of the college and four among students who went away. No specific scarlet fever germs have yet been isolated, and 1f there is such a germ it is probably too small to be seen with a microscope. The modern theory of the spread of disease is that the germs are carried by = rather ai- rect contact, not through the air. In this instance, it does not seem possi- ble that the germs could have been carried by milk bottles becausie in the first place Madeline did not handle the milk bottles, secondly, all milk bottles from my house were washed, scalded and set on the portico to air; thirdly, all bottles, when returned to the dairy, Were steriized, and, since Friday, the 14th, were also soaked in formalin and then sterilizad; fourthly, no other user of bottled miM caught the disease. 1% varnish the whole boat and paint pink tulips all around it if Rose only would giye him a chance. “He talked so hard and so fast that he sort of wore out the astounded Rose, who at last gave a desperate consent, indignantly, protestingly, but still it ‘'was a consent. In his joy. Ed jumped up eo hurriedly that he shifted the angle of the deck and knocked overboard his precious varnish. “'Hub!' Rose said with a grin, guess that finishes your demonstra- jon! I'm satisfied with the old var- nish anyhow! ‘Tm not finished till Tm dead! told him in a sort of fury, beginning to peel off his clothes. How deep ls it here? Twenty feet? Well, I'm going after that varnish!' “And into the bay he shot head- foremost, not even waiting for the bathing suit that Rose sarcastically offered to get him, Ed said he dove down to the bottom six times before | he located the container in the sand near a rock. And when he grabbed it, it proved to be only the top por- tion. The thing had struck the rock and smashed. He swam up and climbed aboard disgusted. ‘T lose’ he spluttered to Rose. ‘The darned thing's Dbusted and empty! Good day!’ —— 00— ——1— T “‘Wait a minute,’ Rose said. What's the matter with you? What's all this stuff on you? Ed looked at himself and touched himself and then gave a howl. Varnish!' he yelled. ‘Tm varnished—all over!" “And he was. It was in his hair and his eyebrows, besides neatly coat- ing his arms and body. He said Rose let out a yell that equalled his own and then when he could stop laugh- ing called his sailors and they set to work. They rubbed and scraped and fussed for an hour and at the end of that time Ed said his head loked like a whiskbroom that had beeg mucilaged and most of the polish and shine was still on his body. “‘Say,’ Rose panted as he dropped down baffled. ‘There’s one thing about this varnish of yours—it's @ prime sticker!” ‘And then he exploded again in hys- terics. He felt so good about it that he told Ed to come around to the of- fice next day and Ed went, varnished as he was—and his firm has had all the Rose brothers’ business ever since. “The Roses offered Ed a job, but his old boss took him in partnérship as a reward—and if the ~whole affair wasn't just luck I'd like to know it!” “Well, it helped some,” admitted the Woodlawn man—Exchange. Stories of the War Devices for War. Snares for submarines, frighteners for Zeppelins and traps for the Ger- mans in the trenches are but a few of the weird devices produced by ama- teur inventors that the British Muni- tions Inventions Department is called on to consider. One look by the ex- perts settles their fate, with rare ex- ceptlons, for most of the Inventors are innocent of the science of mechanics. These appliances as a rule look like the work of professional humorists. But their authors are annoyingly in earnest. As an example of the kind of schemes the department is asked to consider, one man proposed _this scheme for catching submarines. Ships equipped with a running noose of steel rope and a plate glass window in the keel were to engage in the chase. When the watcher at the plate glass window reported a_submarine, the men on the deck wouldu pull the noose around the body of the unsuspecting victim, then haul up and bring it as a prize into harbor. Another inven- tion, ignoring the mechanical details, invented hopping motors to use in breaking through the German's lines. The motors, heavily armored end bristling with guns, were to jump like grasshoppers over obstacles and trenches. Half a_million_spring-leg- ged motors, according to the inventor, Would end the war. There have been many types of “Zeppelin-strafers” sub- dmitted. But none have been adopted.

It will be remembered that we ai- ready have one plotter in prison who used the states as a basis for his hos- tile operations against Canada. _The Dominion of Canada is taking her full share in the European struggle, and on that account our power to do things is limited by the laws of neutrality, but there is no reason under the sun why we should not put forth every known effort to stop this use of Amer- ican territory: there is every reason why we should. There is work here for skill hands and resolute spirits. ew Hiven Journal-Courler. The State Board of Education has notifiled Bridgeport that henceforth it must pay the rent for the Trade school in this city. This action is under a state law, and if the city does not choose to pay the rental, it may lose the school. There should not be —and probably Is not—any question as to the city's choice in the matter. The Trade school is far too valuable an institution to let siip for a matter of $4,000 a year, which is the reatal cost for the two buildings which house the branches of the state institution. When it is considered that the state pays about five times this sum an- nually for the maintenance of the school in addition to the rental cost, the advantage derived by Bridgeport is manifest. To pay $4,000 cash per year and receive $24,000 value is a bargain that %ny progressive city would be pleased to drive—Bridge- port Telegram. A few years ago a kick was register- ed against the manner in which the town farm in New Britain was con- ducted and various stories of poor management were given out. This matter was carefully investigated and it was found that the reports were not true, and the home was in the best condition in its history. The proper thing for Waterbury to do is to order a complete investigation and the situ- ation may be found to greatly exas- gerated or entirely false. A town farm Is one of the most difficult places in the city government to manage, and no matter what is done the in- mates will always complain. The poor of any place are to be pitied and a city should see io it that they are treated fairly, and that is certainly all they ask for. They are entitled te this at any town farm. The right thing for Waterbury to do is to make a thorough investigation and see what truth there is to the statements made by the discharged nurse—New Britain Record. Shall the government of the United States own and operate its own muni- tions plants? There has been aome talk of it, in congress. But most con- gressmen apparently do not have any adequate idea of what a proposition it is. Brig. Gen. Crozier, chief of ord- nance, has no illusions on the subpect, however. He testified that for the gov- ernment to build and operate a suffi- cient plant would cost $400,000,000 and entail the employment of 75,000 men. The catch in the plan lies in the fact that the privately owned muni- tion plants are busy nine-tenths of the time in making munitions for peace usage and a government plant could not well embark on such an enterprise. The Union Metallic Cartridge com- pany, to take an example right at kome, is famed the world over for its sporting ammunition, rather than for its military ammunition. Of course it has always made military ammunition but wars requiring great supplies have occurred only at intervals, whereas the demand for cartridges for sporting purposes has continued steadily and has kept the plant going when other- wise it would have been obliged to shut down.—Bridgeport Telegram.

Black opals cost more, carat for carat, than do diamonds even, while experts declare that they are infin- itely more beautiful. And in this connection it may Be pointed out that the term “black opal” a distinctly misleading. It was coined to distinguish it from the familiar “light opal.” As a matter of fact, the black opal is alive with myriad shades of flam- ing splendor, from brightest tints .of green glowing fire to meteoric gold or lavender, that in an instant quivers to crimson,’ or slips into molten ruby or sapphire, as the angle of light aiters. Black opals are so dear, not only be- cause they are so beautiful, but be- cause they are so rare. They are found only at one spot, a compara- tively small tract of ground in New South Wales, adjoining the Queens- land border. The fleld is called Lightning Ridge. The nearest towns to it are Walgett and Collarendabri, and it about 500 miles from Sydney as the crow flies. Black opal mining is about. the big- gest gamble extant. There is really nothing to guide the miner in select- ing a likely spot. The shafts average 40 feet in depth, and all rocks has to be ‘bucketed’ ‘to the top.
