With a knowledge of the plans for shipping large and valuable loads of merchandise, the customary trips of those Who carry payrolls or other large sums of money with them or the existence of good sized amounts in cash drawers there are crooks who are ready to defy capture and who are not daunted by the prospect of the treat- ment they are llkely to receive in the ecourts. Not all of such robbers get away either with the boodle or thelr lives, They are, however, willing to take such desperate chances as tpe situation calls for, to kill when it is necessary or de killed when they encounter the unex- pected resistance. Featured in connec- tion with most of the bank robberies and holdups today is the automobile. Quick means of getting away is furnished and they rely upon the auto for that reason lo put the greatest distance between and th of thelr crime in {cannot fail to get | connection with the coal strike which the | protection in order to break up the at- tacks must be made and that means must be at hand for the pursuit of the robbers on the best terms possible, Ef- forts in the way of prevention Include armored trucks with armed gnards and yet a surprise attack in the heart of New York left the driver dead and the guard badly wounded, while the murderers gsot away.

Let their flight be blocked and their punishment be severe and cer- tain and there will be less inclination to take the chances. —_—— COAL FROM ABROAD. Coal is one of the things in which a considerable number of people are still interested. Though there may be an in- clination to turn to electricity or oil, which is being done in many instances, there are those who are equipped to burn coal for power purposes who have not and are not likely to be convinced that it would be advisable for them to make a change at this time. All users of coal, and others as well, are therefore sure to be interested in the report to the effect that coal is being landed in this country at Boston at a lewer rate than it can be obtained from our own mines. Only recently there was a plea presented to the railroads for a reduction of rates on coal for export in order that there might be keenmer compe- tition with other coal exporting coun- tries, but at that time those coal opera- tors seeking the reduction didn’t appear sufficiently interested in New England to seek a reduction in rates that would permit of the same coal being sold at a lower price in New England. That there should now be a bit of foreign competi- tion will not cause American buyers to cast it aside just because it comes from broad. It is true that there is only a saving of 35 cents a ton by purchasing British toal, b the astonishing fact even ghough such shippers are at the present time getting the benefit of th rate of exchange is that it can be trans- ed across the Atlantic And be sold lower than American coal. ' Possibly this will be the means of di- recting attentlon to the coal situation in | this coun 0 as to bring about a bet- ization of the conditions under the coal industry is being con- ducted In this country, or the conditions which have to be faced by the buyers of coal, whether it happens to be of the bi- tuminous variéty or the anthracite. How long British coal will centinue to be brought here is uncertain, but the fact that it can he obtained and he ob- talned cheaper than the domestic product | re ious atténtion in country has been warned is impending.

This registration would be required by all physicians when they prescribe habit forming drugs. By that method it woull be possible to keep In touch with those to whom the drug was issued and those who haye become addicted to the habi:. At the same time representatives of state charities and corrections In con- ference at Boston expressed the belief | that the plan of permitting addiets to\| take the treatments intended for their| cure was not succeeding, that many of those who took it d@ld So for the narcot- les they could obtain only to abandon the effort when the allowance was cut off, and that nothing short of a year's commitment should be considered if cures were to be obtained. That the use of dangerous drugs is getting increased attention in different states is in keeping Wwith the demands of the situation and whatever Is done in the way of greater restriction must be! regarded as for the best interests of in- dividual "and natton. a EDITORIAL NOTES.

Reports in which they had a hand were submitted before the conference closed, and they did their best to advance New England's agricultural interests, although it was evident from the first that delegates from the south and west would outnumber eastern men. In many matters there was a wide divergence of opinion among the New England delegates but on some of the prineipal matters they worked In accord and unremittingly. Among them were rural eredits, cooperative buying and marketing, aithough in details there was not always a common accord. An- other thing that was very prominent in New England discussions was the ab- solute need of a get-together on the part of farm bureaus and the grange. Both have the same Interests, it was urged, and unless they work in harmony no good can be accomplished. New Hamp- shire and Massachusetts delegates stated there was complete hermony in their ranks, and-that 75 per cent of their farm bureau members were also officers in the grange, One strong feature often brought to the front in corridor discussions and elsewhere is the question-of grading farm products. In the west all such marketable products are graded intu separate classes, such as first, second, medium, etc., before being put on the market. The general opinion as ex- pressed by delegates is that the east, es- pecially New England, is losing money and opportunity by not adopting uniform grading and that if farmers would grade eggs, apples, potatoes, fruit and all oth- er farm products, they would reccive a higher market price. The question of whether or not federal assistance to the farmer was desirable is another topic on which the New England delezates are not in accord. Some believe it the best thing that can be done to promote agri- cuiture and others say frankly they “be- lieve fedeval aid is being greatly over- done now. The 26 women delegates to the confer- ence were for the most part assigned to committees where woman's work is spe- cialized, although a number are scat- tered among the committees on forestry and farm homes. The committee on home economics gets the biggest share of the women delegates, and Mrs. Blakeman of Con- necticut, one of the active workers here in the interest of New, England needs, today talked with your correspondent about the work of the conference espec- jally along the line of home economics, of which she has made a life study. Mrs. Blakeman was chairman of the home economics committee of the na- tional grange, and she strongly urged the teaching of home economics in .the vublic schools of the country and she stands out strongly for the passage ol the so-called Fess bill which asks con- sress to aid in that work by suitable ap- propriations. Mrs. Blakeman looks on this branch of s.hool work as one of the most important that states and that na- tion can engage in. She said today that .the committee to which she is assigned prepared a resolution which was put be- fore the conference. Mrs. Blakeman added that the home economic committee of the conference is of the opinion that governors of states should more fully recognize women from rural districts and small towns in making up commis- sions, committees; or hoards where wo- men are members, instead of glving un- due preference to women from cities, which Mrs. Blakeman states is now the case, Although confercnce the cry from rural. The meetings were teld in the great gilded ball room Ot one of Washington's most fashionable hotels; and here the dirt farmers, all dresced up in his best clothes, sat perch- ad on the edge of frail little gold and crimson plush chairs whose spindle backs seems ready to bend under the weight of their sturdy occupants, The walls of the ball room weére gay with 1t was a “dirt farmers’” | lags and great crystal chandeliers threw w softened light on the assembly. Unce, the evening session had to be abandoned to give place tg a big charity ball at- tended by Washington's gayest soclal set, There was considerable friendly rival- ry among New England delegates as to the relative agricultural merits of their respective states. Whenever W. J. Thompson, master of the Maine state grange, appeared on the floor wearing a sult of *clothes made eniirely from Maine raised wool, he excited the envy of Walter B. Farmer of New Hamp- shire, who said: “I have a suit at home | made from wool raised in New Hamp- shire, and iU's every bit as good, or even better than the one Thompson is wear- ing,” but as Farmer couldi't produce the evidence, Thompson carried off the laurels. % The Connecticut delegation conference comprised Allen B. Cook, Oronogue; Mrs. Nellie E. Blakeman, Oronoque; J. M. Whittlesey, Hartford, state commissioner animals; Leonard H, Healey, Woodstock, commissioner of agriculture; William Pinney, Suffield, tobacco grower; Mrs. Blakeman was as- signed to the committee on home econ- omics, Mr. Whitlesey to that on legisla- tion and Pinney covers the tobeacco in- terests. Other members also have im- vertant committes assignments. The true story of the week in Wash- ington is mostly “blizzard.” Not since the famous blizzard of 1899 has such a storm struck this semi-soughern ity and that much talked of Taft inaugura- tion was a mere squall compared to it, Drifts are piled head high on street and to the | sidewalk and local newspapers remarked that “New England haved to Washington.” A blizzard in a city of mearly half a million people, where the winters are usually so mild that eveh a snow shovel sleeps in inocu- ous deseutude, is something really to be dreaded. No such things as powerful snow plows exist here—and the man who can spare his furnace shovel long enough to put it into service to make a path to his door is counted as lucky. Street car service is out of commission, thousands of automobiles are stuck fast in huge along the roadways, and all Washingion {s turned topsy-turvy. Everybody who walks from place to blace soon develops a gentle lope that would do credit to a prize saddle horse, as they try to keep Indian flle through the unbroken drifts. A tandem of four big horses hitched to nothing but with a stout Negro guiding them and riding the leader, is the nearest thing to break- Ing out a path that is to be seen here.

The landlady gave one look at my riding clothes, and remarked to I had one skirt with me for an emergency, and I got it out and put it on.

When the campalgn. was over Fontaine went to Paris, where a gentle- man invited him to spend somy: time at his country seat. Here he fell jn love with the daughter of his host, and they eloped and lived for a time at Rouen. Upon their return to Paris the young lady retired, as a lodger, into a con- vent, but the husband appearing in public, some officers seeing him in a coffee house, told him they had - the king's warrant for apprehending him, upon his swerd, tried to make his es- cape, but was seized and lodged in pris- on. On this Fontaine wrote to the young lady informing her that he was ebliged to go into the country on urgent busi- ness, but would soon return. Belng brought to:trial for running away with an heiress, he would have been capital- ly convicted, agreeably to the then law of France, but the young lady volun- tarily swore that she went off with him by her own consent. She thus ob- tained his acquittal. She soon after died. De la Fontaine then entered the army and behaved with such bravery that he was commissioned a lieutenant of Grenadiers. Then came to him the greatest ro- mance of his life. A vyoung lady of Strassburg became enamored of him, and dressing in men’s clothes she joined his regiment. Regarding this clrcumstance Fontaine was compelled to fisht 3 duel, in which he was serfously wounded. The young lady died of smallpox and the pe- reaved lover left France in a vessel bound for Martinico. The ship belng taken by a Turkish corsalr, was brought into Constantinonle, where Fontaine was confined in a dungeon. While thus confined he was visited by another prisoner, who had maors lib- erty than himself, and who advised him as the French consul then was ahsent. to make a direct appeal to the Grand Vizer, and he did so and that ruler was so impressed with him that hs not only released him, but gave him a bag of gold. Peter departed from Constantinople for Surfnam, where he passed the next five years, and where he met a widow of rank of whom he determined. if pos- sible, to make a conquest.

Fontalne was occasionally Involved in difficulties on her account, In”an alter- cation with an officer he cut off his ear, and for this was seized and trled by a court martial, but was acquitted and retvrned to Eurove. Having arrived in Y.onden he took up elegant lodgings and made a Tugher of showy acquaintances. Among them was a Venetian, Zannler by name, who had to auit his own country on account of hix irregularities. Tt was to him that Fontaine eventually was to attribute his downfall, Zannler Induced De la Fontalne to g0 to a tavern, where they met with a woman whom the Iatter had for- merly known and a man who was dressed In black.

Why is it not taught in our schoo's, and why is the law not enforced? Why are the drinking fountains removed from our street and animals compelled to suffer with thirst? A fountain is an ornament and a token of civilizatlon in any strest or place where it gives refreshing érink to man or beast. I question If there weu'd be as much call for strong drink if water was easlly obtalned from a fountain con- veniently located in our streets and parks.
