Norwich is to have another Dollar day. It is a movement In which the merchants of the city are cooperat- ing and it will be an occasion which will not only provide an opportunity for the purchasing public to take ad- vantage of the offerings which will be made at that time but it will be an opportunity for the merchants to dem- onstrate to the people that it is for the public’s interest to get into the procession and profi¢ thereby. Dollar -day should not be a one- sided proposition and it is not so in- tended. It should result to the mu- tual advantage of all concerned and while the opportunities are being grasped it should demonstrate that Norwich holds out advantages as a buying center which cannot be disre- garded. From one year's end to another Nor- wich merchants are catering to the wants of those who are within its trading radius. They appreciate the opportunity of showing that their claims relative to being able to sup- ply the demands of the buyers are not idle statements but facts which can be proved and when they set forth to get the buyers into the stores for the purpose of demonstrating that this is as claimed, the most advan- tageous shopping center for all east- ern Connecticut, it is a capital chance for the buvers from the outlying sec- tions as well as those in the city to satisfy their minds and at the same time make the most of the day. When such an effort to show the people is being made there should be the full cooperation on the part of every business house and it is grati- fying to know that the merchants are entering into it with enthusiasm. Hav- ing done their part and taken the public into their confidence the pur- chasing public can be relied upon to do the rest. JUSTICE HUGHES’ POSITION. On several occasions Associate Jus- tice Charles E. Hughes of the United States supreme court and formerly governor of New York state has been questioned relative to his candidacy and the use of his name in connection with the presidency. Each time Justice Hughes has made it certain that he was not a candi- date and that he has not given per- missien for the use of his name in connection with any movement look- ing to his nomination and in his latest letter to Chairman Slemp of the Vir- ginia republican state committee he reiterates his opposition to anything of the kind and writes that he is to- tally opposed to the use of his name in connection with the nomination and to the selection of any delegates in his interest either directly or re- motely. In connection with this last state- ment as to his position it is to be noted that Justice Hughes does not say that he would decline the nomi- nation should it come to him. He makes it as plain as anyone needs to have it that he is not a candidate and that he does not intend to be, vet it is to be inferred that if the honor should be thrust upon him after mak- ing no personal effort to secure it or to sanction any activity in his behalf he would not decline. ‘There is a strong Hughes sentiment throughout the entire country. He is a man who would not only attract the independent voters but he would be the means of firmly uniting the fac- tions of the republican party and it is generally recognized that with Jus- tice Hughes as the nominee the re- publicans would as Governor Whitman recently declared sweep the country. NEED STRICT ENFORCEMENT. In spite of the fact that there has been a decidedly beneficial effect from the passage of the federal drug act which placed strict regulations upon the sale of narcotics there has been a fetermined and more or less success- tul effort on the part of unscrupulous fealers and peddlers who cared noth. ng whatever for the demoralizing ef- Jest of their business upon humanity Jo long as they secured the flnancial benefit therefrom, to satisfy the de- mands of those who had become ad- licted to the use of drugs. The result has been that while an pbstacle, though not as yet insur- mountable, has been placed in the way of adding recruits to the army ) drug users the success in keeping the dope away from those who were Mready addicted to its use has not deen as effective as desired. This is thown by the report issued by the lirector of public health in Philadel- ms 35-3. Otffice 35-2. Murray expected that the illegal business wil! thrive and increase. THE PROPER COURSE. Long has it been recognized that this country was suffering from con- spiracles aimed at the crippling of in- dustrial activity, regardless of the lives that might be involved, and the demoralizing of shipping through the placing of bombs aboard vessels while loading at American ports. The disclosures have resulted in in- creased vigilance but such has not been sufficient to put_a check upon all of them. The persistent violation of the laws of the country has re- the recall of representatives of belli- gerent nations, but a new and what may prove a more effective course is being pursued on the Pacific coast where Franz Bopp, German consul- general, E. H. von Shack vice consul and Maurice Hali, consul for Turkey at San Francisco, have been indicted with over a score of others on the charge of conspiracy to blow up am- munition plants and frauds in secur- ing fraudulent clearance papers for ships with cargoes for German sea This country could have demanded the recall of these men, the same as it has of others, but it is also possi- ble to prosecute them the same as citizens of this country and in taking the course which it has it is to be expected that the most satisfactory results will be obtained. It 1s time to let such representatives understand that their position does mnot give them the right to transgress rules and regulations and it is not enough to remove them from office. If they are guilty as charged they should be made to pay the penalty which is attached to such crimes. There is no occa- sion for lenlency as it is apparent that their deeds, if the affidavits sup- porting the charges are well founded, were not the result of accident or ig- norance but intentional REMOVE THE RAIDERS. Following closely upon the appear- ance of the Appam at Norfolk and the revealing of the story of the ac- tivities of the German raider which captured this znd other vessels off the | coast of Spain and Africa there came the announcement that insurance rates on belligerent vessels had undergone a substantial increase. There was nothing surprising in such a change since it was to be expected under the circumstances. It was the same sort of an increase that was made following the opening of the war when a number of German cruisers were scouring the oceans for whatever belligerent vessels they could find and it can be expected whenever there is any unusual danger threaten- ing vessels engaged in oceanic trade whenever raiders of any sort are at liberty and likely to strike at any time. Such an increase can be expected to continue until something effective is dome in the way of running down and eliminating this danger. Let it be shown that one or more of the Ger- man vessels which it is reported are at large and ready to sink or seize belligerent vessels have been put out of business and there will be as sud- den a drop in the rates as there was an increase and all that is necessary to get them back where they formerly were is to conduct such a hot cam- paign against the rovers that there will cease to be the occasional report of another vessel captured or sunk. This is a matter which the allled na- tions must give as much attention now as they did in the earlier months of the war, and it is highly probable that such efforts are already under- way. EDITORIAL NOTES. The capture of a city by the Chi- nese rebels gives another lease of life to the rebellion in that country. Though we have had about six weeks of 1916 there have come to light no very interesting leap year stories. The order that has gone forth in New York that fat men cannot hold office has a slim chance of getting proper respect. With all its debts pald and every other farmer owning an auto Kansas stands in an enviable position among the other states. The man on the corner says: When evervone becomes thrifty the fellows who are after the easy money will have to go to work. Villa declares that he will cause this country to -intervene. There is no question but what he carries a chip on his shoulder at all times. After the submarine policy it has carried out it is not so surprising that Germany intends to treat all armed merchantmen as warships. The Osborne methods at Sing smg1 appear to have made a hit when a New Haven mother asks to have her son committed there but not to fail. It doesn't taks much these days to get Canada excited over rumors of new incendiary plots. The plan to give it “something to think about” appears to have succeeded. close at 'hand in the Lusitania case gives more encouragement than any- thing that happened while Huerta was negotiating the flag salute. The delay of the state department in esking Austria to explain its at- tack upon the Petrolite may have been for the purpose of giving it-time to hear from all its submarines. When a New York shoemsaker is fined $10 for mending his own shoes on Sunday it must be realized that those who are running down law breakers are getting short of easy jobs. When it is announced that 800 New Haveners must pay fines of 52 each for failing to clean their sidewalks, it is to be hoped that they camnot say that they did as well as the muniel- pality did in that respect. . . o | tery together with the ald of the Con- BuL New Haven, Feb. 10.—Through the efforts of the officers of the Yale Bat- necticut Aircraft Company & plan has been completed for aiding an up-to- date balloon corps to the Yale Artil- considered absolutely essential in con- nection with artillery\ work and the Yale Battery will be equipped with the most modern and improved style of aircraft. It will be the first battery in the United States to be so equipped. The Yale Aerlal Corps will be organ- ized in connection with the Artillery Battalion. The men will be trained by the Connecticut Aircraft Company and will be allowed to use the new dirigi- ble balloon which that company has recently constructed for the United States Navy. The balloon itself is 175 sulted in this government asking for et long, 35 feet wide and 50 feet high Including the car. It is capable of carrying a crew of_.eight men, and a useful E)ad of two thousand pounds. The balloon can rise either from the water or the land. The dirigible is now being finished in the works of the Connecticut Aircraft Co. in Ports- mouth, N. H.,, and on completion will be sent to Hartford and set up in the armory. The battery men who take the trainin, will spend a week in Hartford, where they will be instructed | in the care and use of the balloon, and will become familiar “with its con- struction. During the remainder of the year theoritical instruction will be given in New FHaven on aeronatics. The members of the corps will be thor oughiy drilled in all the principles o aeronautienl work and will be famil- | jarized with the different types of air- craft now in use, their use in warfare and their strategical value, especially with artillery. The most important part of the training will come next summer at Tobyhanna. The Afrcraft company is building a pe: tion kites which are used by thousands in the European war today. The members of the Yale Aerial Corps will be given special training.in the management of the kites since the Air- craft company have a large number of | them under construction for the Uni- ted States Navy. One of these kites will be loaned to the aerial corps dur- ing their encampment at Tobyhanna and the members will be taught to use it and will obtain much valuable ex- perience. Thus far a great deal of enthusiasm has been shown in respect to the aerial corps. About fifty men have expressed a strong desire to take the training and are willing to give the time and undergo the expense which would be necessary. From the total number only ten will be allowed to join the regular corps, but in all probability a substitute corps will be organized and receive the same train- ing. The duelling sword team, owing_ to the increased interest in the sport, has eniarged its organization and formed in addition a sabre team. The team ds now called the duelling swerd and sabre team. The formatlon of a szbre team is_extremely beneficial to fenc- ing in Yale in general for the sabre work is the most spectacular to watch of all the forms of fencing. The man- agement hopes to be able to arrange several meets for the year. This year, however, attention will be chief- iy concentrated or the duelling sword as the season is just commencing. The most important meet in which the team will take part is the Eddy Cup meet which will take place in New York city on Feb. 14. The winner of this meet will be entitled to the claim of the junior championship of the country. In the past it has been won once by Harvard and once by Colum- bia, but Yale has never gained the championship. This year, however, chances look unusually bright. The whole of the last year's team is in college, making four experienced men who may be called upon. The man- agement has arranged some contests to be played in New Haven and it is expected that there will be several good_exhibition bouts. The policy of the duelling sword and sabre team is to encourage the use of the two weap- ons without emphasizing either. It is thought that in this way much greater all-around physical development may be obtained. Sabre work is particu- larly advantageous for men who are too light for boxing, and at the same time furnishing what is considered the most fascinating of athletic exercises. At a meeting of the college faculty held last January 20, the recommenda- tion of the Student Council to change the present system of chapel marks was considered and was referred to the dean of the college with power to act. As a result of the conference with the members of the council the regula- tions as regards attendance at both daily and Sunday chapel were modi- fied to the effect that at the beginning of the college term each student is granted an allowance of thirty marks a term. Another change was to the effect that no distinction would be made between the daily and Sunday absences but for the fact that Sun- day chapel would count as three marks and that five absences should be the limit of absences from either the ten o'clock or eleven o'clock services on Sunday. Through the liberality of William Loring Andrews of New York city, the Andrews Loan Library.was establish- ed about twenty-five years ago. Its object is to furnish text-books and ‘works of reference to be lent gratui ously to the students who eannot af- ford the expense of purchasing books. Since the establishment of the library the number of students working their way through college has increased to about eeven hundred with the result that the library is at present unable to meet_the needs of the many appli- cants. During the present year over one hundred such applications, duly attested by the bureau of appointments, have been received which could not be granted owing to the lack of books. This demand for text books has been satisfied to a great extent by the help of the undergraduates.

Second honors go to Boston, with Chicago a close third. It is an interesting commentary on affairs that the New Haven Alumni did not organize until seventeen years later. 0 pains were spared to make the celebration the best ever. The list of speakers included A. T. Had- tey, President of the University, George E. Vincent, '86, of the Univer- y of Minnesota and Dr. J. G. K. McLure. President Hadley in his ad- dress praised Chicago for what it has done for Yale, laying _considerabie stress on the gifts which have been contributed by Chicago people. Of these, the Laboratory of Physics in the college and the Laboratory of Mechan- ical Engineering in the Sheffield Scien- tific schol are the most prominent. LETTERS TG THE EDITOR Still at Large. Mr. Editor: Man after man, dog after dog, made bold by my letter of Feb. 3. have visited my old haunts on Black Hill, only to find that I had kept my word and took a quiet stroll. Will Bradford bagged my great-grandson, because the scamp played monkey and climbed a tree. Fred Haskell has been | over every inch of ground between Hell Hollow and Tophet swamp, only to get a glimpse of a big gray thing up a tree—called by Dan Brown and other Flat Rock - people tfvarymmg from a rat to a lion. Fred fired twice, but was so nervous at sight of the flery green eyes that he missed. T did go down to Lisbon. Jess Phillips and his Little Joe did get next to my trail, but when my wind commenced to give out a foolish young Voluntown fox tried to play my trick, and siss, boom, bah! There you are, full of shot! It’s mighty unheaithy down there, however, as even clergymen are on my trail, so T have decided to move again. It's 'Woodchuck Hill for Grandma— until sixteen thousand fox hunters and eleven thousand hounds get tired. MADAM REYNARD. Woodchuck Hill, Feb. 10, 1916. OTHER VIEW POINTS When you read about a town in the state voting a ten mill tax these days in recalls old time methods of taxation { in the average city. It is different nowadays and none realize it more than actual property owners.—Middle- town Press. The Naugatuck News calls attention to the condition of the “good roads” in that locality after the recent thaw. 1t says the heavy traffic of teams and autos has raised the dickens with them. That is true in many places. It once more emphasizes the fact that best of drainage and foundations are required for roads that are to stand up in the spring under the heavy traf- fic. Hereabouts gravel has made a big improvement in many places, but it is evident that gravel alone'is not suffi- cient. Thorough preparation _costs money, but pays in the end—Bristol Tess. “If some of these feeble-minded women who go around shooting men would turn their weapons upon some of the feeble-minded jurymen the world would be better off,” sald a Cali- fornia judge when a woman who had twice been tried for the murder of her husband was acquitted Saturday. Quite a dignified remark for a court to make. Suppose it had been a juror| or any one else who applied the same words to the judge after one of his superior decisions. Then we would have learned of a contempt sentence and a loud gush that the sacredness and dignity of the courts “must be up- held."—Hartford Post. The more one studlies the facts con- cerning fires in schools, the more one is impressed with the need of auto- matic sprinker systems in school buildings for the protection of life and property. It is not necessary that schools be “sprinkled” throughout. School fires seemingly always start in the basement. That is the place where there is fire to begin with. It is the place where inflammable waste ma- erial is likely to be collected. It is the place where there is least inspection and where a fire has the greatest like- lihood of getting a good start. Fires are not likely to gain mch headway in the upper stories of school buildings during school hours, with teachers and pupils ever watchful for anything out /0 more m‘u c ;M‘-nuflal::c. mucous o your, u want a every alr XA omes || of this v let it of and Don't tarrh sufferer needs. stuffed-up and “miserable. —PRICES— ivazachiar R mily Cirsie, s mily Circle, llery .
