ONE OF THE QUESTIONS.

How far officers of the United States army may go In their connec- ton with business interests is ques- tion now formally before the War de- partment An officer who is on duty in New York is desirous of being a di- rector in a business corporation.
 There Is no law against an army officer being director in a business corporation. but the War department has plan which seeks to discourage army officers from permitting the use of their titles in exploiting business enterprises. and especially in connec- ton with the sale of stock, regardless of the merits of the concern. This poli- cy will be adhered to, but it is not thought likely that the War depart ment will undertake to specify to what extent an army officer may in- terest himself in business affairs, pro- vided this simply means an invest ment of his money and the employ ment of his time to an extent which would not interfere in any degree with his military duties. That must be the first consideration of the army officer, and it Is to this rule that the War de- partment will tenaciously hold
 Of course if army officers try to do business and army work at the same time there is danger that one or the other, or even both, will not be we'll done. It will require much discretion in the officers and also in the War department to keep business and mili- tary duties in their proper places, If attempts are made to carry them on simultaneously.

4 DEFINITION.

People who have no. known exact ly what musical composition Is can thank Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes for telling them. He says it is "a ra- tonal collocation of sound apart from concepts, reduced to a tangible cx- pression. from which the collocation can be reproduced, either with or without continuous human interven- ton"
 Rational colocation of sound' doesn't describe some of the things that are called musical compositions, but perhaps that Is what musical composition ought to be and really is when properly made Until somebody makes a more definite and compre- hensive definition than that made by Justice Holmes his may. we suppose, be considered the one. It is pleasing and encouraging to see anything clearly, or even somewhat clearly, de- fined And large applause awaits the man who can define Democracy.

WARD s. BEEBE.

The park commissioners did 8 grace ful and merited thing when they directed that the American flag be displayed at half-mast from the staff on East Rock Park in memory of Ward S. Beebe, whose death has been announced There may be a difference in the degree to which a man may make himself useful in this world. but there can be no difference in the spirit of usefulness which a man dis plays in doing the work required of him. Men enter various fields of work, and as rule each finally en- ters that which he is best adapted to adorn. In the end the law of justice demands that each man shall receive from his fellows the credit due him for what he accomplished, whether that accomplishment shone forth in high or humble station.
 MT. Beebe deserves the reputation of having been the architect of the beauty of East Rock Park The names of former Mayor Henry G. Lewis and Mayor Hobart R. Bigelow are inti- mately associated with the agitation which finally led to the purchase of the property for park purposes, but 1t was MT. Beebe. working diligently and enthusiastically from 1880 until a few weeks ago, who transformed the beautiful but disorderly forest land in- to more beautiful and orderly park. On every hand will be seen the re- suits of his judgment and the produce tions of his genius for landscape im- provement These nearly twenty-eight years which have passed by like a dream with all busy men have seen him day in and day out in the park busily engaged with it's improvement with such funds as the city could af- ford to give and with such additional benefactions as the Farnam, Trow- bridge and English families made. It was a work of love with him and those who remember seeing him tol- ing at his agreeable task will be able upon reflection to understand how amid such romantic surroundings his gentle nature grew and expanded with the trees and the wild flowers.
 Some way should be devised to per petuate the name of Beebe in East Rock Park The human family is generous but it is also forgetful Ii should not be permitted to forget the work of the man who did more than anybody else to make this famous park. Somewhere within it's confines spot should be selected and given name which would for all time sug- gest the achievements of this modest, nature-loving park builder. Others may have lived and left a name which looms larger in local history, but no one of them ever did better the task allotted him than Mir Beebe.

NOT TO BE HEADED OFF.

How life goes on In this great and rich country in spite of occasional drawbacks and setbacks Is indicated by what happened in the New York savings banks last year-the year of the great decline and fall-off. During 1907 the number of depositors in the New York savings banks increased 45,s3s. The deposits increased s1s,- 363,253, reaching total of s1,3S0,- 399 ,o9o, The interest payment for the year increased s2,969,103.
 No wonder the orators feel justified in sticking to their swelling words when talking about their beloved country What went on in the New York savings banks also went on in the savings banks of other States. This year is apparently not going to be a very comfortable year, but the working and saving will continue this year and the result will doubtless be surprising aud encouraging The United States is waxing, not waning, and the indications are that it will go on waxing for many year after those who are now croaking have been consigned to gloomy graves.

MIR. LITTLE's BIG JOKE.

That was not little joke which Mir. Luther R. Little played on his com panions at the recent dinner of the New Hampshire Society in New York city He made a speech to them which seemed to fall rather flat, and at the end of it he quietly said; Gentlemen. I have repeated to you word for word the great speech of Daniel Webster, our greatest son, at the New Hamp- shire festival held in Boston in No vember, 1919, and not mothers son of New Hampshire here has recog- nied a word of it.
 Such is fame, and such shows what fame is based on. Probably, though not certainly, all present knew that Daniel Webster was New Hampshire'3 greatest man, and many of them knew that he had in his time made some speeches that were well worth listening to- But they don't seem to haze considered them worth reading, | or if they did they hadn't found time | t. read .nein.

SOME TIRE HINTS

Among the tire hints given out by
the T. B. Goodrich company of Akron,
Ohio, to it's customers are the follow
ing:
First see that the brakes of your car
work correctly, evenly and easily. New
err jam ON the brakes too suddenly.
Instant locking of the brakes destroys
the tires. Put on the brakes gradually
yet firmly.
DO not round curves at too great
speed. 1t is playing with fate to at
tempt to round corners on two tires,
and bad for the tires themselves.
See that the wheels always run true.
The unequal planes of some wheels will
cause unusual straings, which wear the
tires out much more rapidly than they
would naturally wear.
Start your machine in a straight line.
Do not twist around on the steering
wheel before you get started. This
imposes a heavy and unnecessary
strain on the tires.
Do not run along in car tracks, as
this grinds down the edge of the tire
and cuts the fabric.
Choose whenever possible the soft
est" side of the road. Some prominent
drivers always run with one side of
their car on the edge of the road in the
soft dirt Avoid all obstacles and ir-
regularities, and cross car tracks pref
erably at a wide angle.
