CIRCULATION WEEPK ENDING SEPT. 11,721 —_— FISF CHIEF'S TIMELY ADVICE. Advice which it is well to heed 1y th it Which bas been given by Chief Stanton concerning the cleaning out of Muel and the taking of added precautions becauss of The use of substitutes of one kind or -n;:'. for anthracite, prevention is In the interests of the householders and property owhars and it Is through the taking of precau- tions that the most valuable fire pro- vention service can B rendersd. The devotlon of the needed amount of thought and the short amount of time mecessary to overcome known dangers has s recompense by eliminating the excitement and losses, some of which @ars irreparable, which accompany fires. Fire departments are malintained for protective purposes but it is folly to #uppose that all posstble fire prevention measures should be disregarded just be- caume there is an efficlent body of fire Oghters. Rellance upon a fire depart- ment doesw't prevent fires. That Is fone by giving attention to conditions Which are known to be dangerous, 1o Bre ‘hasards which are known to axist ind can be mmoved and to the obsery- Mnse of just such golden advice about many emall every day devices as the thief hag referred to. It is easy for those who have gone through the experience ~¢ fire to ree- sgalze what could have been done 'n maAny instinces to prevent it, but such Malization comes too late. After a fire ¥ started the chances of preventing it are gome. What is nesded fs for the great mass of the people to come to an understanding of the risks which exists, for which they may or may not be re. sronsible, and to 86 deal with them that under ordinary conditions no fire will re- sult theretrom. The trémendous waste which is caused each year by fires, to say nothing of the many lives that are needlessly sacri- ficed at such times. furnishes sufficlent reason for lending that small amount of cooperation In the causé of prevention which will comttihnts ¢~ - substantial rouction, and thfs is particularly true when it is appreciated that additional visk is t5 be expected through the use of snthracite substitutes this coming wititer. Being forewarned we should be torearmed. OCONWERRING ON COAL. Bacause the miners have gone back to work and because the situation concern- ¥ig fafiroad transportation has been im. doving doesn’t mean that the problem of coal dlstribution is going to adjust -t- WRE. The shortageé in production due to e strike leaves the users of anthracice with only & small proportion of a nor- mal supply &nd it becomes necessary 1o wéo that this sifuation is met as well as possible to prevent suffering during the winter months, and to protect the publie against being saddled with unwarranted prices. Efforts which have been undertaken up to this time comasning thess mat- tefs have not been without resuits They have been directed toward secur- ing that cooperation among producers and transportation lines for the mining and quick distfbutlon of coal, and wiile it has besn maintained that there is mo disposition to gouge the consumer the Best evidence of that will be the prices which they have to pay. Secretary Hoover has been devoting mileh time to this problem but further progress ae the result of his efforts are to be anticipafed from the conference which he is to have today at Washing- lof with industrial, rallway, public util- itiés and gemeral business leaders for the discussion of measures for expediting thé coal movement, for restrictions Aghinst cornering coal stocks, for put- ling on the market a proportion of coal nsgally produced for certain industries and such other measures hé return of mormal con o coal Such & conference cannot fall to take mto consideration the matter of prices nd the provislon of & sufficlent supply for housshoMers an® -~ ---sumers. Iha problem is one which has been cre- uted by the strike and the faflure to profiics coal; but thet doesn't overco the fNecesstty of dealing with the tion Which is faced.

TOLL BRIDGES. Biftorts are once more belng put forth in behalf of the ending of the folls on the state bridges at New London, Say- brook and East Haddam and placing the cost of maimtaining thoke structures, upon the taxpayers of the state instead of upon the users of the bridges. Getting across a river is a difficult proposition unle$s some provision = is made for negotiating the distance. Those who are desirous of getting from. one side, to the other naturally .expect some sort of service, and they are only too glad to pay for it, especially when it 1s possible to get good -service in place of that which has been decidedly inade- quats and unsatisfactory. Up to the time the New Haven road. the Thames river bridge to the the expense of converting it to & high- structure getting across the river, at that point was dependant upon A ferry.. It was Better thafi nothing, but inconvenient and there was to handle the traffic expeditiously. Nev- ertheless it was service and there was Since the bridge has been opened the service has been so much bettered that. there is no comparison, and those who something that would replace the ferry! and meet the needs have been satisfied They are gefting the service which they they are mot asking householders up along the Massachusetts border to pay for their quick and easy trip across the river at New London any more than they did In the past for ferry charges. ‘The bridge is a great benefit to those who use it and especially -the large amount of auto traffic but in view of the improved service that is given him, and the reduced price which those who use it often can get, the motorist has no ground for complaint. — NORMAL SCHOOL ENROLLMENT. ‘When the statement i3 issued by State Commissioner of Education Meredith to the effect that there is an enrollment of 300 more in the mormal schools of the state than there were a year ago it indicates that return which there was every reason to expect. It is a further sign of getting back to normaley. It is through our normal schools that we look for teachers for the public schools of the state. With 1100 enrolled this year it shows that there will be less reason for worry over teachers n the future than thére has been in the, past. How rapidiy we are getting away from the conditions of war days ds indi- cated by the doubling of school students enrolled years. During the period of the war when there was a demand for help and high wages were pald, many were the sehool teachers who wers attracted inté other flelds and those who would have been inclined to enter that important pubile service of school teacher weré likewlse drawn elsewhere, Conditlons have changed and even though there has been a change in the qualifications which make it somewhat more difficult to enter normal sehools, the large increase in the enrollment plainly shows that the natural inclina- tion s once more approaching normal. School teaching like every other op- portunity of rendering public service, has its attractions. It is important for the future generations that the teaching forces should be adequate in training as well as in numbers to meet the situation and it is therefore particularly gratify- ing that the year's enrollment shows the swing of the pendulum once more in the right direction. the normal within tws ® ITORIAL NOTES.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Navy Day. Mr. Editor: Friddy, October has héen designated as Nav at the suggestion of the Navy lLeague of the United Statss approved o- the navy department. 5 The navy rendered vital service to the nation and to humanity during the World war. No great fleet action was fought to give spectacular emphasis to its vi- tal’ contribution to the vigtory. But the convoy, the anti-submarine patrol, the mine barrage were essential factors in the winning of the war and the sav- ing of civilazation. So it hastbeen in every crisis of our history—the navy has not failéd. In the Revolution, the war of 1812, the Civil war, the Spanish-Ameri- can war, victory without the navy would have been virtually impossible. Today our peace and prosperity are safeguarded by the navy. 1t is an agent of stability in 4 troubled world. It carrles no threat, but it lends authority to America's voice, speaking for altruism, justice and law. On Navy day we would celebrate the consecration to duty of the personnel of the présent navy, the glorious seryices rendered to the nation by the navy of the past. We would emphasize its unify with every interest and activity of the na- tional life. It is good for the people to stop a moment and consider what has caused the natlon’s prosperity and great- ness. The navy has played ng small part in the progress of America tb its present state and Influence. Those who proposed the celebration of Navy day, who urge upon you what they Believe to be an opportunity of patriotic service, are advocates of peace. _They belleve in and support the policy of re- ductlon of armaments by agreement bt reject as absurd the ratyity of disarma- ment by example. Living in a world of Teplity they would foster the instrument of their security while looking forward to the, realization of the ideal not yet attalned when the only security needed by mankind shall rest in the hearts and minds of men and nations.
