Lawns are rolled mowed, trees are trmmed, flower and beds are filled with attractive plants and plazza boxes are filled with flowering plauts and vines. Where such an interest is manifested in making home grounds pretty and mo- tlceable it means that a great many othets admire the efforts and in many casss ths result furnishes an inspiration for thuse who observe such well Xept grounds to come as mear providing the game as possible at their homes. Unfortunately there are others who take a different view of the beautifica- tion. They regard it in the spirit of en- vy and look upon it as an opportunity for them to serve thelr own ends by ap- propriating for their own use such rlants and bushes as strike their fan- ev Many are the yards that are ralded in this manner. While some may be di posed to clip the blossoms others would not b satisfied without tearing up by the roots the various kinds of flowers, ferns or rosebushes. ng is in keeping with the which some people take that ing they see which appeals to them, happens to be flawers, gar- th truck den or other property, simply needs to be taken in order to be pos- sessed. No conslderation is given to the owner or the time or money that has been spent In making his yard look the way he desired. The despoiler and the ral think of nothing it themselvas and do not hesitate to help themselves at the expense of someone else, Notking disposed to arouse more resentment than acts of that kind. Whan & property owner finds his yard suffer- tng from visit of night or e morning prowlers # is not surprising that the rest of the day is spoiled or that he is inclined to face such indi viduals with the punishment which possible for just such conduct. Th can be little sympathy for those who are caught in such deliberate cases of stealing. bt AN IMPORTANT DECISION. ed at from any angle the decls- t Tnited States supreme court labor ng unions handed down this week is of great importance. Not| only s it Important because of the questions it clears up, but also because ision 1s unanimous, Frequently cisions which show only a a majority of one mak- in some cases. In such instances the reception is far aifferent than when the majority is large or unanimous, and for that reason in con- nection with this labor matter the decis- lon is made the more Impressive by the unanimous action, In this decision the court gets down to an Important fundamental that has been denicd attention too long. Previ- ously labor unions have been recognized #s having the right to sue, but there was the claim that they were not suable and ought not to be. In other words they had the protection of the law when their rights were transgressed, but were not obliged to assume any responsibility for their acts. This unreasonable situation is straightened out by the latest decision. A unmion does not have to be incorpor- sted in order to be sued. A union is put in the same class with a corporation and can be held responsible for what it does. 1t deesn't claim that the unions haven't a right to strike, but it does hold that when a strike is called and there is @amage done to the property of another it 1s possible for the injured party to re- cover damages if the charge can be proved. By the decision it is onee more shown that the unions are protected quite the same as others. The large damages as- sessed against the unions are set aside because it s found that the charges were not proved, but the fact 1s clearly established that when unions are re- spensible for strikes or sanction them snd injury results from the practice of the strikers there is a responsibility rest- ing upon the union organizations which cannot be dodged. It is & decision that is only what ought to be expected. TFalrness should prevail mot simply on one but on both eldes and that is what the decision en- courages. -— THE HELICOPTER. Constant progress is being made In aviation. Rapid advance has been made since it was demonstrated that a heav- fer than alr mechine was practical. Nav- igating the air Is no longer a dream but & reality and big =ccomplishments are being made almost daily by daring avia- tors who display great conmtrol of thel machunes and demonstrate the effective- ness of the improvements that are be- ing constantly made. Just as two Portuguese aviators have completed thelr fights diagonally across ths Atiantlc from Portugal to Brazil, anl others are on their way around the world, werd of an encouraging nature comes from England to the effect that an inventor has made sudh progress with the halicopter that it is believed that he can euccessfully accomplish ‘what 15 called for in the way of a prize winning test. The helcopter differs entirely from the ordinary flying machine. It is de- signed to rise perpendicular instead of 1 ng rise in a long sweep or circle as the airplanes do. This ma- chine is bulit en the princi- ple with a great number of fans which Lft it or drive it, making it possible te rige or descend practically within its own dimensiens and to remain station- ary In the alr. There are advantages as ean be readily appreciated, in such a machine, The fiying machine cannot hover over a ctitain point. It passes over it and returns, but it is not pessible for it to hoid ftself at a fixed point in the afr, ch as over a vessel or a fort and drcp upen them destructive miss Jes. Thus it will be ln:rea!p}ed. if the in- veator has setually worked out his problems and has perfected the hellcop- ter so that it can meet satisfactcry tests, that an important stride in avia: tion has been made. Likewise the large, level and isolated landing flelds would not be required for a fiying machine of this type which eould start and land in the back yard, en the flat rpof of a building or on the deck of a ship with- out any difficulty. It is a machine that cannot fail to be watched with interest until the demonstrating tests are made and Its merits actually determined. PLAYGROUNDS. ‘We are geqlng to the season of the year when the summer playgrounds are going to come In for their share of at- tention. There are commupities where the public playgrounds are in steady use throughout the year, during the cold and srcwy days as well as the hot ones, and it is well that they are for they provide th attractions for keeping the children off the streets and away from dangers to which they would be otherwise sub- jected in a greater degree than when in- ter«st d in playground games. It will be only a few weeks now he- fore the local playgrounds will again te a hive of activity. The children have a right to expect that they will be provided for or such as would otherwise be required to do their playing in the strest. The value of the grounds main- tamed in the city has been fully demon- strated each year and it is to be ex- pected that there will be provided the no-ded funds for equipping them proper- Iy and giving them the necessary super- vision this summer. Such money is put to excellent use. The playground move- ment has long rince passed the experi- mental stage, Unless a city is unusually well favored in its layout the import- ance of such places for children to ga- ther and play is generally recognized. The fact that there were 502 eities maintaining 4584 playgrounds last year tells its own story. They have proved such a success that they are steadlly being increased. The merits of such yrovision and protection ' wne chil- dren in these days when the dangers of the streets are constantly being in- creased have quickly impressed all eiti- zens who have given attention to the problem of giving a fair deal to the boys and grls. Local exhibitions each year at the wise of the season show that the time spent at the playgrounds has by no means been wasted. The work clearly demenstrates the excellent instructions that have been received and make 1t evl- dert that the benefits which used to be obtained through the former summar schools are still beinz made available for the coming generation. Norwich cannot disregard its duty to the children in the matter of play- grounds. i e GETTING WIRES UNDERGROUND. From time to time every community experiences the disadvantages which comes from overhzad wires. They are uns:ghtly in themselves and because of the equipment that is needed to carry them. They obstruct the streets and of course menace the users of the high- way in case they fall. During stcrms it hus been found that they are likely t blown down and the service over «in acrlously interrupted. . This of surse applies to wires of all kinds whether elcctric, telephone or telegraph. For a considerable period efforiz have been devoted toward the placing of such wires underground. The improved appearance of the streets are at once noticed and public service which might otherwise be interrupted by falling Iimbs, broken wires or crossed wires 15 freed from such handicaps. The advisability of getting wires unm- derground is well displayed during the heavy ice storms when for miles the lines lay flat and it requires many days to restore service. There are times when the electrical wires are involved quite as much as any others, and when efforts are directed toward the elimina- tion' of such conditions by getting the wires underground a most valuable pro- tection is being afforded. Street improvements serve to encour- age this work. That of course is the time when the conduits can be lald to the best advantage and it is before any- thing in the' way of permament sirect improvement is attempted that the nec- essary work of getting the wires under- ground should be undertaken. It is as unrcasonabie te wait until a briek or ee- ment. tuad is built to look after the work of getting wires underground as it would be to delay giving attention to water and gas services. i ————— EDITORIAL NQTES, The man on the eorner says: Thas greatest. trouble for some is to keep from being bawled out by the traffic cop.

Their wives, in the thinnest and coolest of summer dancing frocks, looked at them with pride and thought hov easily these things were managed when one knows how. The tew outsiders who were pres- ent, and who had so far forgotten them- selves as to appear in nondescript sum- mer clothes, feit distinctly ill at ease, which seemed to heighten, rather than reduce, the radiance of the Wednesday elub wives.

But it has been such an unusual summer, and evening clothes are so desperately uncomfortable—we all felt that something must be done about it. And, honestly, haven't you always hated dress suits?’—Chicago News. Great Men’s Love Letters GOETHE TO CHARLOTTE VON STEIN Goethe, the German poet, was a man of very great sentiment, and his love af- fairs were numerous, but that between himself and Charlotte von Stein seems to have been unusually deep and durable and tender. It had more influence upen him than any other, and there Was much mystery in its sudden termination. Goethe first became acquainted with Frau von Stein on his arrival at Weimar toward the close of the year 1775. She was then 33 years of age and had been married 11 years. Von Stein was master of the horse to the Duke of Weimar and his official duties kent him most of thw time at court. Chanlotte herself was fa miliar with court life, having been fot seven years previous to her marriage maid of honor to the duke's mother, Goethe at that time was a little more than 2§ years old, but his literary repu- tation had already been established. Per- sonally he was of almost godlike beauty. Lewes in his biography says of him that “at 20, when he entered a restauyrant, people laid down their knives and forks to look at him.” This personal beauty he is said to have retained until his death. When Frau von Stein expressed the desire to meet Goethe to Dr. Zmmmerman, the doetor wrote to her: “But, my poor friend, you do not ‘reflect. You desire to see him, and you do not know how dan- gerous to you this lovable and charming man may become?’ Goethe's lovts had been notorious and his engagement to Anna Schonemann, which had just then been broken off, was only the last of a secies of like affairs which began when he was 15 years of age. In Frau von Stein Goethe loved for the first time in his life 2 woman of the world and a lady of rank. The etiquette of the | court, the observance of which to Frau| von Stein was second nature, wearied him | immensely. He hated the entertainments | which he was obliged to attend and was irritated because fis loved .took pleasure in them and was gracious and complais- ant to the men she met. The ten years and eight months which elapsed between Goether's first acquaint- ance with Frau Stein at the end of 1776 and his departure for Italy in September, 1786, may be called the goiden period of their intercourse. Of his 966 published letters to her, 821 were written during this period, and as the few extracts that follow will show, they embedy the most ardent emotions of which a lover’s soul is capable. These are some of the most senti- mental of the passag®s in the early cor- respondence: “I see well, dear lady, when one loves thee it is as if seeu were sown. and springs unnoticed, unfolds and stands there—and God gives His biessing to it. Amen!” “Today will I not see you. Your presence yesterday made such a wonder- ful impression on me that I do not know Whether it be weal or woe With me in the affsir. Farewell, dearest lady.” Failing to check himi otherwise, Frau von Stein must soon after this have ap- pealed to his regard for her reputation, and have begged him to consider what the world would say of his attentions. In ceply he writes: ““And se a relation, thé purest, the most beautiful, the truest that I have ever had | with 2 waman, except my sister, that also is interripted. I was prepared for it. I will not see you. Your presence will make me sad. 1f I cannot live with yeu, yeur love helps me as little as the love of my absert omes in which I am so rich, And all that on account of the world, The world, which can be nothing to me, will net allow thee to be anything to me.” She must have replied soothingly, fol Goethe next wries her: “You are always the same, always endless love and good- ness. Forgive that I make you suffer. I will, hereafter, strive to bear it alone.” His most passionate appeai of all, how- ever, was written on Oct. 7, when he says: “Farewell, best one. You go, and God knows what will happen. I ought to have been thankful to fate, which let me clearly feel the first moment I saw you again how dear I hoid you. I ought to have been satisfied with it, and never have seen you mare. Forgive me; I see now how my presence plagues you.” — Charles B.

IN THE PUBLIC EYE The ill luck which for a long time Serbian dynasty, which owed its advent to power through assassination, seems to have run its course before it reached Alexander, the present ruler of the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, who today weds the Princess Marie of Roumania, one of the most beautiful and accomplished of the young women of FEuropean royalty. After rul- ing the country as regent for several years, Alexander came to the throne last August, following the death of his fath- er. He is reputed to be a young man of mild disposition, studlous habits and { exemplary conduct, the antithesis of his elder brother, the one-time Crown Prince, whose escapades lost him the chance of succeeding to the throne. Alexander was born in 1888 and received his early ed- ucation in Geneva, where the family were living in exile. Later he aftended military schools in Russia. He became a great favorite with the late Czar Nicholas and was reported to have been emgaged to the latter's beautiful and fascinating daughter, the ill-fated Grand Dutchess Tatiana. Stories That Recall Others He Was Safe Little Jimmy with a paper parcel un- der his arm stood watching a game of baseball in a vacant lot. “Hurry home, Jimmy ! gentleman. “Hurry home, or you'll bs late for dinner.” “No, 1 won't” said Jimmy Tapping his “They can’t start without me; I've got the meat for dinner.” He Did That Very Thing. One eof the pleasures of a superin- tendent of a home for beys is to watch them eat when they first come to the heme. Many of them havn't had a good meal for a long time, preceding their arrival at the home and it takes quite a while to “get them filled up” so that their appetites become nermal again, But one little fellow who arrived a few weeks ago didn’t seem able te ap- pease his hunger. Every meal he de- manded 15 slices of bread. After a time the superintendent decided something was wrong ond when the doctor next visited the home had him look at the youngster. The examination showed him in a good condition. At its close the doctor said to the little fellow: “Why don't you try leaving the table hungry some day?” A little peace and’then back came the startling answer, “I always do.” GLEANED FROM FOREIGR EXCHANGES The agreement between Mr. Collins and Sir James Craig had broken down before, through the failure of the pro- Vi%um,l government to impose its will upon the I.

IN THE DAY’S NEWS PACIFIC ISLETS DISCOVERED AND REDISCOVERED The reported discovery by an Am- erican pleasure craft of hitherto un- ‘known islands ton and Palmyra islands, Geographic Society the islands mentioned: “There would be nothing new in the rediscovery of Pacific islands,” says the bulletin. “Many of them have nev- er been inhabited or were abandoned’ years ago, and to all appearances are virgin islands. A number of small is- lands have been reported as new finds in several over and over again, and cases double and treble names testi fy to this circumstance. The most re- cently reported discovery is in a re- gion fairly well frequented by ships since it is within 300 miles of the mid- station of the Canada-Aus- Pacafic tralia cable on Fanning Island and even closer to the steamer pa. 50 miles south of Kingman's Reef, was discovered 120 years ago by the American ship ‘Palmyra.’ In 1912 the United States took formal posses- sion of- the island and made it a part of the Territory of Hawail. It is of coral, 5 1-2 miles long by 1 1-2 wide and its highest point is only 6 feet above the sea, making it a precarious place of residence in case a tidal wave should strike it. There are no inhabi- tants. “‘Washington Island, about 100 miles goutheast of Palmyra and only 75 miles Fanning Island cable sta- from the tion, was discovered in 1798. It is 1-2 by 1 1-2 miles and its ‘highlands’ top those of Palmyra by four teet. The soil is rich and the island is covered by a luxuriant growth of ~coceanut trees. Something over 100 people live on the island. “Kingman's Reef itself has on i rim twe tiny islands that have ap- peared ¢n large-scale charts of the central Pacific for many years.” The discovery of a lake, rich in car- in the Pacific near Kingman's Shoal, south of Hawalii, has been followed by a statement from the Hydrographic Office of the Unit- ed States Navy that the Teported find probably is a rediscovery of Washing- sitkated near the latitude and longitude giv- en.

Stoeckel, state commis- sioner for motor vehicles, has sent out to police chiefs of the cities of the state his plan for June in the no-accident ecam- paign which makes the following sug- gestions: Speed at intersections: To continue to enforce through police diseipline, in even a more strict manner, the regula- tion of speed at intersecting streets with speefal reference to the “delivery trucks.” The gain for less accidents has been made by controlling this type and it has been demonstrated that effectiveness can be had if the police will insist upon absolute control of cars at dangerous in- tersections. Hand Signals: There is considerable agitation for the adoption of mechanieal slgnals. The mechanical signal cannot, in point of effectiveness, take the place of the hand because no mechanieal device which is capable of giving all the signals has yet -been widely distributed. It is therefore necessary that the hand signal be used for those signals which cannot be given by a mechanical device. It is the observation of this department that signals are being given better all over the state and it is becoming exceptional to find a driver who has no idea about signals. It is now fair to prosecute any one who does not give a signal, because there has been ample publicity and warn- ing given. Pedestrians: The analysis of accidents shows that the subject of proper control of pedestrians should be taken up. In certain cities of the state, upon the closing of factories, the employees make it a practice to walk home on the streets and not on the sidewalks. This makes a dangerous hazard. A good form of co- operation which could be put into effect would be to ask the manufacturers in each city, through their association, or direct, to warn employees elther by post- ing of signs or by a genéral notice. Bicycles: The riding of bicycles, es- pecially where in large factories there are a great many employees who ride, ought to be standardized and each man who rides a bicycle should have a definite cross over to the proper side of the highway and then proceed. On leaving work many of such employes who start at the same time ride all over the street and in that way make a serfous hazard for themselves and for every motor vehicle operator. Helping children to cross streets: The standardizing of the practice of having the police help children across the streets and supervise the children in some of the smaller cities is indicated. In a general way, therefore, the fol- lowing subjects might be carried along during June. : 1. Hold down speed at approach of intersections. 2. Insist upon the ziving of a proper slgnal either by hand, horn or mechanical a n a a i- is vehicles. Traffic moves too fast now for human muscles and agility and 3 have been several deaths due to attempt- ing to jump on or oft moving public ser- vice motor vehicles. The following is a lon from news- paper publicity om “this subject taken from an editorial in The Norwich Bulletin of May 2th, which has been widely copied: “Highway dangers are much different than they were. It is necessary to use caution in undertaking to cross streets today, where little or no thought was given to it at one time, while the prob- lem of educating the children to a recog- nition of the dangers grows bigger each year.
