LETTERS TO The EDITOR
More About High Prices.

Editor of The Bulletin: The old
saying, 1t often pours during rain
storm" can truly be connected with
itle evidence rolling in from day to day
t explode that often repeated story
tlst the high cost of living is due to a
high tariff.
/ II The Bulletin readers will go back
few months and lock over the files
Of your most valuable paper, they will
sc when hot-air revisionists howled
about the high price Of shoes and gave
hs remedy, Free hides One con-
gressman (who, by the way. usually
gets off on the right side of the train
made this remark: Il am in favor
of free hides, but just as surely as
We get them, the price of leather and
leather goods will go up" That man
vas Ebenezer J. Hill, our most highly
IGNORED Fourth district member. A
lew days ago when in spite of the
thrift reduction on hides, shoe man
rtaeturers announced an advance of
o. cents per pair on shoes, Mr. Hill
made this remark:
When we were debating the Payne
+ tariff BILL he said, Il declared that
] We made hides free--and l was in
favor Of free hides, too-the price OF
leather would so up in this country.
when we made hides free we added
he 90,000,000 people of this country
T. the worlds market for leather We
placed the leather manufacturers of
mis- country on the same footing with
tl0se of the rest of the world.
Il cannot tell what has brought
about the increase in the price of
Isather at this time. It must be the
law Of supply and demand, as it af-
f-cts the worlds market Certainly,
the tariff has not anything to do with
it,"
At three different times in the past
quarter of a century the reduction of
hide duties has resulted in anything
but a corresponding reduction in the
prices of shoes. The old law, supply
and demand, forces itself again to
the front,
l had to smile out loud some months
ago when I heard a hide-bound patri-
OF bowling about a tariff on hides
running the hide industry. Now, dear
Bulletin readers, whoever heard OF
euch an industry as a hide industry, "
unless l am mistaken, the steer is
raised for it's beef, not for it's hide;
the COW is raised for milking purposes
then for beef-not for it's hide. In
both cases tho hide is a waste prod
net, comparatively speaking; but over
6nd above all shines the one great
1act that the reduction of tariff on
hides does not reduce the price of a
pair of shoes and you will find the
same will hold true Of wool and suit
of clothing.
When it comes to tariff tinkering
my friends, we are face to face with
something that 1t Will be mighty good
Judgment to move carefully about re-
moving. In these days Of rapid trave

muck quicker IL we could only remove
the Atlantic ocean, but the ocean can
not with safety be removed.

Q.-Has Noah's Ark ever been dis
covered? (SHEM,)

covered7 (SHEM.)
Answer.-In reply to this question
We quote from an article published
several years ago: The Rev DR.. John
Nouri, D. D.. Ii. D.. Chaldean arch
deacon of Babylon and Jerusalem, pom
tifcal delegate general of Malabar and
ex-grand secretary of the Metropolitan
archdiocese of India and Persia, has
found Noah's ark At least he says he
has, tells a very straight though some
what gorgeous story about it and has
gained believers among men of piety
and learning. He is Of the Orthodox
Greek church and his labors have been
chiefly in Africa and Asia. After
spending several years in African ex-
plorations, DR.. Nouri crossed the east
mountains to the coast of Abyssinia,
and was received with great honors.
His expedition up the Euphrates and
over the Ararat was an expensive af-
fair, but he got there; camped on the
plateau and climbed the two peaks.
Petween them is a valley. and from
each side Of it rise the two peaks
one 1900 and the other nearly $4,000
feet high Starting in March, they
found the snowdrifts impossible, and
waited another month, Then they
climbed to within sight of a narrow
plateau almost on the summit and on
that plateau they saw the ark. The
bow and stern, says the archdeacon,
were clearly in view, but the center
was buried in snow and one end of il
had fallen off and decayed. 1t stood

The Effect Of Sensational Motion Pic
lures.


Mr. Editor: Perhaps the wave of
juvenile crime which seems to be
spreading a cloud over the lives Of the
young people of Norwich, and has re-
Gently resulted in the detention Of two
of our young men who both are under
the age of Is years, for giving Wild
west, or Diamond Dick" exhibition,
with disastrous results in a nearby
town, which resulted in the death Of
an aged woman, can be traced directly
to certain moving picture house in
this city, whose msnager seems deter
mined to place before our youth those
films which depict scenes of crime.
Yesterday morning a young newsboy
Of not more than s years of age was
seen by the writer going on his hands
and knees through the snow and skulk
ing up to doors and knocking or ring
ing doorbells on certain streets Of this
city. When asked why he did that, he
replied:
THAT is the way burglars do in,
moving piotures!"
when this same lad is older, will
some crime be laid at his door and will
he spend his best moments behind pris-
on bars? This is only an example Of
what certain class Of moving pictures
are doing to the boys.
What about our older people? Listen!
To the shame Of Norwich, let it be said
that while The Boy Spy was thrown
on the screen at this same moving pic
/ ture house on last Saturday afternoon,
gray haired men and women among
the audience vigorously applauded the
defeat of our Boys in Blue and the
victory OF the Confederates. The above
named picture was a direct insult to
| those who marched away under the
Stars and Stripes in the dark days Of
! the war, that our country and flag
1 might endure. Does not the manager
/ Of this thaater owe US an apology for
I offering in his place Of amusement a

are first cut off near the trunk. If this

cut in the trunk. generally just above

for the man who is filling the tree, and
the interior Is followed out. Round
the bottom of the tree shallow basin
some twenty or thirty feet in diameter
is made. in which the rainwater col
lects. As soon as there is a storm the
people go out and fill their trees The
water so stored remains perfectly good
until the end of the next hot weather
or even longer. A few trees. naturally
