GOING THORUGH THE FOG channel the sound from which would be caught by an operator at the bow of the ship and by Kkeeping. the ship directly over the cable noise direct the course the ship through the fog to its pier The expectations are that the sound from the cable can be picked up by vessels within a half mile of its end near the Ambrose Channel lightship. «The device may work and it may not. Inasmuch as it is considered sufficiently good to lay a cable there must be good prospects and certainly in these days when such wonderful accomplishments are being made in all branches of sei- ence it is useless to doubt that it can be done just because it never has been. Tt is just such things as these that mark the progress of years and the outcome of long study and hard work. NEW JERSEY RAIDS Just how great a task the enforce- ment of the prohibition law can be gained from the way in which liquor is being sold at exorbitant prices and prac- tically -without reserve. Apparently if you have the money and are willing to part with it for a drink you can get vour favorite beverage and those Who are engaged in disposing of it are mak- ing great money without being obliged to pay eut any part of it for licenses to do business. They are engaged in illicit business but they are getting by with it because those who are responsible for the enforcement of the law are not alive to their responsibilities or else are not able to cope with the tremendous job. These conditions are disclosed espe- cially in states where the common- wealths through their legislatures have not concurred with the federal enforie- ment act. Conditions have been so had in the state of New Jersey that it has been claimed that it was as wet as the Atlantic Ocean. Pretty good proof of it is furnished by the raids which have been made in cities of that state during the present week. Many thousand dol- lars worth of liguor was seized and the descent was evidently the resuit of inl vestigators for a considerable period. New Jersey is one of the states where little of no effort has been made to en- force the law. Apparently the local au- thorities were paying no attention to the sales though known to be made in vi- olation of the law, and it was only as the result of appeals to federal authori- ties that atcion was taken. Such being the case in other states it can be appreciated that the stopping of the open sale of liquor in those very saloons where it was sold under license. to say nothing of the Kkitchen barrooms and the like, presents a big job for the enforcement officials under their existing methods of doing business. If New Jersey conditions are to be tolerated ex- cept during raid periods the purpose and benefit of prohibition are going to be frustrated. - Under such conditions prohi- tion becomes a joke. CONNECTICUT CROPS Connecticut hasn’'t got to the point where it raises emough produce to meet its requirements and there is no cer- tainty that ever will, althoughit is per- fectly evfent that it is well able to produce much more than it does. This is illustrated by the potato crop this year. There is a decrease in the acreage of potatoes in this state this year of 16 per cent. in spite of the fact that there was a shortage of potatoes from last year and prices that would invite preparations for a big crop. That the labor situation played an important part in this redue- tion is probable. It is known that many who had raised large quantities of potatoes when help was available were forced to curtail their acreage be- cause they were unable to get help to take care of it. But where Connecticut was curtailing its potato crop it is a no- ticeable fact that Maine wag able to get sufficient help not only to do as well as it had before but to increase its acre- age 16 per cent. throughout the entire state. Main will therefore much more than make up for the reduction that has taken place in Connecticut and Rhode Island. and will be-aided much in potato production by increases both In New Hampshire and Vermont. Apparently the labor problem in the northern tier of New England states was not acute. In the production of apples, however, Connecticut with the departmen of agri- culture agent reporting a gain of 25 points appears to be going. after that trade which has for a number of years ben supplied with the product of other states, some coming even from the far northwest. It indicates that apple cul- ture in this state is howing excelient re- sults and that the efforts that have been made in the behalf of bettter erchards and better apples are bearing fruit. Crop Teporis in other respects show this state to be holding its own with the rest of New England but even in deing that it to be realized that it comes from producing all that it is eapabie of doing. EDITORIAL NOTES The man on the corner says: Taik about the quantity ef coal in the ground doesn’t fill the bins. Europe wants United States coal, but it looks as if New England was going to get its wants filled first. There are those who see Europe at war in three years, while some consider it pretty well involved already. Now that the blue and huckleberries are coming to market there will be in- creased business at the pie counter. » It doesn’t seem to be possible to do very much regarding the democratic cam- paign without getting the president’s consent.

Even in these prohibition days there are some things njen do that immediately sets in motion an effort to find out what they've been drinking and where they got Some weeks “have' passed since -the Greeneville parade on the Fourth—time enough to draw some important lessons from it. It is perfectly clear that a demonstration of that chararter and on that day gives a wholesome tonic to the community spirit. It shows still fur- ther what a community can do when all are actuated’ by the same, spirit and all are working for the same purpose. to have a successful celebration a place doesn’t have to be as big a8 New York. The smallest hamlet that works as one person and is sufficiently enthused can come across with a successful under- taking every time. Nothing brings a community nearer together than keeping step with one another in a parade. It is something that “everybody enjoys and is willing to support, Any community: ithat works together as Greeneville did in its Fourth of July celebration has in- creased its orgawnte strength that is bound to reveal itself along other lines. We are also getting some dista away from the two great national con- ventions. Both of them failed in some important particulars. The nation at large would have been better pleased if they had dispiayed a broader spirit and had taken an advanced step. If she will America is in a position to assume the moral leadership of the world. Why is it in these conventions they spend most of their precious time in pottering {over platforms that mean nothing when are drawn, and so iittle time in se- lecting the nominees? ~After all it is the man rather than the platform that will add to the nation's glory or sifame. A mighty man will smash every rotten plank in a platform that oftentimes is meaningless. The safety of the country lies in the character of its men and not in the length of its piatitudes. Why does a convention wait till its dele- zntes are all worn out befare they be- gin to vote for the nominee. Is it be- cause the party lash is more effective when men are exhausted? Do we not need some radical changes in this direc- tion? We are now in the very height of the growing season and one can hardly ob- serve the flowers bloom and vegetabies grow without raising the age-long que: tion: “What is growth?” The answer, however, is not forthcoming, as it h been one of the apparently simple ques- tions that has puzzled the wisest men in all the ages. The old Greek philoso- phers including such minds as Plato and istotle gave up the question in desp: The modern biologist with his vastly more extensive scientific knowl- edge is equally unable to solve the proo- | between our growth and that of veget {bles stops at a certain point. Bodily growth always reaches its limits but not the mental—at least not with the majority. Sometimes Wwe meet With men and women whose minds must have stopped growing before they enterod their ’tcqms. Tt is important to know if we are taking steps to develop the mind constantly: to expand our moral purposes, and to increase our humani- tarian impulses. This is the age of enthronemenmt of fresh air. Science has told us that colds come from infection and that dead, foul air is the cuitural ground. Fresh air, far from giving or aggra- vating a cold, is ils greatest combat- ant. The college lads and lassies are right in sieeping wih windows wid§ open even in mid-winter. We can hard- ly repress the smile when we think that people. not so very long ago, used to fear the “night air.” What sort of alr did they expect after nightfall but “night air?” Acting on this belief how care- fully they kept their littie ones when sleeping from its baneful effect! I have been in homes where I was not particularly reminded of fresh air or even “night air,” but rather “last year’s - air.” There are plenty of houses that haven't been ‘“aired” since the last funeral. If we fully realized the close connection between fresh air subject more than we do. bodily exercise—outdoor exercise. stands to reason that even vigorous ex- ercise in a close, stuffy room is of little avail. The object of exercise is to put the blood into aetive circulation, and the best results are achieved only as the best quality of blood is made to function with energy—the very kind of blood that fresh air stimulates. Bvery outdoor game, if onme’s strength is not overtax- ed, accomplishes the desired result, and the best form of exercise very naturally is that which calls the greatest number of muscles into play. All games of ball, tennis, gol, boating, swimming, fish- ing, huntin; walking, in fact every- thing recreational, contributes to the de- sired result. Orientals are strangely averse to physical exertion, which is partly due to the enervating torrid heat in which they live. Sir John Lubbock tells of an Oriental who, having been taken to watch a game of cricket, was astonished at hearing that many of them playing were rich men. He asked why they did not pay some poor people to do it for them. To him there was no joy in exertion. Nothing separates modern from Puri- tan times more completely than in the value we now put upon the body. Is it not something a good deal more than the house of clay, or the “mortal coil” that Cotton Mather used to call ft? The old time divines taught that we ought to hail with pleasure the time when we would “shuffle it off” because it was only a clog to the real life. Epictetus, who was far-famed for his wise say- ings, went so far as to assert that “he was a spirit bearing about a corpse.” Modern phyiology has dome much to dissipate false notions about the body. When the body is scientifically studied we must exclaim with ihe poet: “Strange that a harp of a thousand strings should keep in tune so long.” When we consider how wonderfully complex the human frame Is, the real miracle is that we should live at all, rather than why we do not live longer. Is it not equally amazing that these numerous organs should function so regularly?;, Is it not clear that the body is s8mething more than the tene- ment of clay? Why is it that death has claimed so many eminent musieians, especially composers, before they had scarcely reached one-half of the allotted three score yvears and fen? Von Weber, one of the foremest, standing up in Covent Garden theatre, London, in 1826, in the grip of a mortal disease, kept from fall- ing only by the fervor of the applause. His name was filling all the musieal world with plaudits. But soon after this performance they found him dead In bed at the early age of 38. What a grievous loss to the world of melody it was when Pergolesi died at 26. Schu- bert whose songs Wwill never die passed away at 31. Purcell was only 37, and Mendelssohn. best known of them all, whose weddinz march we hear so often died at 38. The list niight be easily ex- tended. Did early struggle smite their longevity? Not So Dead. John Barleycorn is not very much dead when he can string iwo such eminent en- emies of demoeracy as Congressman Vol- stead and Governor Milliken.—Rochester Herald. Mrs. Elizabeth Toms, 85 years old, has severed her comnection with the Tyndale public schools, Philadelphia, of which she was janitress for 50 years. lom. We simply know that forces de- rived from soil, sunshine and air are; transformed into vegetable matter and that is about as far as we can explain growth. But vegetable growth can hardly fail to bring us face to face with our individuzl problems. The paralicl BUSINESS CONDITIONS IN That transportation difficulties con- stitute one of the most impotrant factors in the present credit and industrial sit- uation in New England, is beem!n; more and more clear, writes Chairman F. H. Curtiss of the federal reserve bank of Boston in the monthly review of con- ditions in- the district. It is generally believed and conceded ‘that speculation in commodities, which was unquestion- ably one of the prime factors in the rapid rise of prices during the past Year, has been to a very large degree eliminated from the channels of trade; that the public is recovering from the disease of extravagant buying which afflicted it so acutely a year; that labor conditions, prompting it to a more. rea- is becoming more sensible of changing sonable spirit of co-operation in its at- titude toward employers and the.public; and perhaps most important of all, that no legitimate, well-established business has suffered from lack of adequate banking accommodation as a result of a! more discriminating use of credit and the influence of high discount rates. The pressure for loans upon member banks in thig district has receded somewhat during the past few weeks, leaving bank reserves in a more satisfactory condi- tion to meet the demands of the crop moving season. 3 But while there need be no fear. that production will not speed up again au- tomatically the moment that the econ- omic law of suppiy and demand gives the signal. produciion which cannot be marketed when needed will not solve the problems eitner of tue retail dealer or the consumer. It is the wheels of transportation, therefore. which mnow need acceleration and it is the transpor- tation problem which must be attack- ed more vigorously and earnestly than any other; and although this is appar- ent the country over, the evidence of merchants and manufacturers in this territory indicates how acute the prob- lem is in New England, which produces no coal whatever and so few of the raw materials upon which its great indus- tries and the economic life of its people are principally dependent. The great amount of commercial building and recomstruction work in progress throughout the country has made for comtinuing prosperi in Con- necticut and Massachusetts industries manufacturing builders’ hardware and tools. but transportation difficuities which have interfered with the placing of goods with the retail trade have se- embarrassed the latter as well riously e as dealers in building materials gener- ally, and the result is that men with courage to embark in building enter- prises in the presence of existing high costs find themselves confronted with a shortage of s\oplies, not on account of lack of production but because of ina- bility to obtain materials which are ac- cumulating at factories and on raflroad sidings; and dealers whose energy, time and thought should he devoted to the in- tefnal problems of their own . business must exhaust themselves in trying to se- cure permits for cars, struggling to have embargoes lifted. and explaining the situation to customers. There are probably millions of dollars’ worth of lumber awaiting shipment to New Eng- land points tied up either at the mills or in transit. perts in this trade, in view of the fa~¥ that there is supposed to be a shortage of a million dwellings alone in the country .to say nothing of other buildings, together with a grad- ually lessening supply of -lumber, which is also becoming more and more inac- cessible, cannot see lowtred building costs ahead; vet there are those who feel that with enormous quantities of building suppiies increasing at the sources of supply where there has as yet been no slowing down in produc- jon, a certain amount of ° liquidation must come when and as soon as the rail- road situation eases and that inweased rates will nbt altogether offset tha ten- dency of prices to drop, at least tem- porarily, uncer these conditions. Liquidwtion of consumable commodi- ties in ways pleasing to the ultimate user, which has been so marked during the past two months, continues, but as and good red blood we would “air” this|pigcimmer passes shows signs of short- ly running its course. In the textile Closely allied to fresh air in the mat- jand shoe and leather centres, factories ter of physical health is that of regular;have been altogether c!qsed 1t | running on short time with thousands of down or operatives out of employment, or living on reduced earnings even if at higher wage rates; purchasing power in these communities is therefore beginning _to show signs of diminishing though no serious inroads have yet apparently been made on savings deposits nor are Liberty bonds being generally sacrificed by small holders; and an interesting psy- chological corollary of this situation is that a certain amount of increasing ef- ficiency on the part of workers still kept employed and anxious so to remain, has been noted, causing some manufac- turersr to be more optimistic with re- spect to being able to develop more satis- factory work conditions for the future. In other industrial centers not specifically affected by cancelations resuiting as yet in a slowing down of production, the public is still spending freely in the sat- isfaction of its wants but its tastes are not along as extravagant lines as a year ago and a demand is gradually being Sunday Morning Talk THOSE LITTLE HURTS. A thought writer says: “Taking life through and through, the larger part or the sadness and heartaches it has known has not come through its great sorrows, but through little, needless hurts and unkindnesses; not so much through the orderings of Providence as though the disorderings of humanity. Look back and you can readily count up the great griefs and bereavements that have rent your heart and changed your life. You krow what weary months they darken- ol was a certain sadness and aignity like the diznity of a lonely moun- tain {op, in their very greatness end, looking back, if not at the time, you can often understand their purpose. “But, oh!” the days that are spoiled by small- er hurts, spoiled becamue somebody has a foolish spite, a wicked mood, an un- reasonable prejudice that must be grati- fied and have its way no matter whose rights, plans, or hearts are hurt by ijt! There are so many hard places along the road for mest of us, made ' hard needlessly by human selfishness, human neglect and human obstinacy, that the longing to be kind and tender sheuld BTOW stronger in us each day." And then again there are many pee- ple in ordinary circumstances who are millionaires of cheerfulness. They make their neighborhood brighter, happier and a better place to live In by their pres- ence, they raise the value of every.lot for blocks around them. The world is beginning to see that people Who can radiate sunshine and carry gladness and good cheer where they go, although they may be poor, are of infinitely greater value to society than the millionaire who pauperizes everybody who comes in contact with him by his close oppressive methods. ~ Largeness of heart and gen- erosity of soul make millionaires of character, who are worth more to the world than mere money millionaires. May the time yet come when we shall not have to depmend on rich furnishings. That character will become so enriched In the upward growth of the world that the surroundings, however costly, will be considered but a cheap setting for a precious lifestone. Cheerfulness is a po- tent factor of success. Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CASTORIA created for cheaper grades of merchan- dise.

LEYTERS TO THE EDITOR Help For Ziom. Mr. Editor: A number of public-spir- ited citizens of Norwich have framed a plan for relieving the pressing necessi- ties of Zion African Methodist Episcopal church, on McKinley avenue. The facts are set forth in the accompanying statement : 1 greatly appreciate your courtesy in permitting me through your columns to present the following statement with re- gard to Zion church. Two_years ago the members found that, because of the difficulties in the housing situation in Norwich, it would be necessary in order to maintain a set- tled pastor to secure a parsonage. A house, 14 Grove place. was purchased undér a mortgage of $2400. The mem- bership of this church is about 50, and their resources smail, but by great in- dustry and sacrifice, they have been able in two years to reduce the mortgage $800. ‘and in addition they have secured a part of the necessary furniture for their parsonage. But. under existing conditions the work of the church is se- riousiy hindered. ‘These facts came to the knowledge of friends of the church, and, at their sug- gestion, a plan was made for rgmoving the mortgage of $1800 upon the Darson- age. There is no debt upon the church. If this sum shall be forthcoming the church wiil be able to pay their minis- ter a living salary and to undertake a broader and more heipful work for the colored people in the central section of the city. The pastor. Rev. F. A. Lusan, and a committee of the church will present 11 cause to the citizens of Norwich.

Public Health Serviee. HABITS AND TRAINING. Habits are the resuit of doing the same thing a great many times. If a small ac- tion is repeated often enough, the person does it withbut thinking and it becomes a habit. If the habit continues for a long time, it may become difficult to break. It is best that a bab¥ should have only good habits. Sometimes he learns or Someone teaches him a bad habit. These bad habits should be corrected as soon as possible, or before they become difficult to correct. Pacifiers: One of the bad habits which is taught the baby is that of sucking a ‘‘pacifier” or other object. The baby does not teach himseif this disgusting practice and he should not have to suffer for it. The pacifier never is really clean and may carry germs of disease to the baby'? mouth. All pacifiers should be destroyed immediately and no suech object ever should be put into the baby’s mouth un- der any circumstances. The baby may teach himself to suck his thumb and fingers. Continual sucking of the thumb, like sucking a pacifier, will spoil the natural beauty of the mouth by causing protruding of the upper jaw and teeth. It also causes a constant flow of saliva and snoils the child's appeagyance. To cure the thumb-sucking, fasten a wooden tongue depressor (obtained at a drug store) or small piece of wood padded with cloth or cotton on the inside of the elbow over the sleeve. This will prevent the ehild from bending his arm to get his hand to his mouth. An aluminum mitten to prevent thumb sucking has been de- signed which may be purchased at most drug stores. The use of this causés no discomfort and is preferable to other methods. This treatment should be con- tinued day and night untfl the habit is entirely cured. Control of Bladder and Stool: Some babies may be taught to control the blad- der and stool during the day by the end of the first year. To do this it is neces- sary to put the child on the chamber at regular intervals and immediately after ;flch meal, and on rising and going to ed. Bedwetting: To punish a child for per- sistent bedwetting is as cruel as it is worse than useless. A chiid should not wet the bed after one year of age. If he does, a physician should be consulted Many a young person has had his child- hood snoiled by this disorder, which if not cured while he is young may persist even to his old age. To cure bedwetting. first ask a physi- cian to make a thorough examination of the genitals and the urine to deiermine whether there is some condition which needs to be corrected. Also to examine for adenoids, enlarged tonsils, decaved teeth or other source of nerve irritation. Any physical defects discovered should be CBrrected.
