The disposition to take chances in running trains can to a certain de- gree be regulated by the road but when rules and regulations are disre- garded it is time to use every effort and adopt every effective device to insure safety to the traveling public. It is therefore commendable that the New Haven road is devoting this in creased interest to the solution of this important problem.

rHE MEAr SHORTAGE.

The shortage of the meat supply is a problem which is bothering many countries. In Germany the condition is such that 1t has been necessary to appoint food dictator who has found the situation such that 1t has been necessary to restrict the use of meat to certain days in the week, and in Eng land it has been intimated that it might be necessary to make similar re- strictions in order to conserve the supply of meat. Tn the case of Ger many it is of course recognized that it Is seriously handicapped by the block ade which has been set up against 1t by it's enemies. but with England there is no such restriction, yet it is both- cred by the problem of getting it, the shipping problem being no small ob- stacle in view Of the great demand it has for vessels in other ways.
 But 1t is not the beIligerent coun- tries alone which are experiencing high prices or feeling the effects of a shortage in this food supply. Right here in the United States, from which large quantities of meat are exported, prices have been at the top notch for long time. The demand from abroad can be urged as a reason for this just now. but it is to be remembered that before the war broke out there was the same difficulty. There was not enough production in this line to keep up with the demands and the result was that those who required meat, or thought they did, were forced to pay for what they got.
 This has meant for a number of years that the cattle raising industry has been going backward, It has not been increased in accordance with the needs of the nation. Advantage has not been taken of the opportunity to raise cattle in other sections than the west and there has been no section which has been more backward in re- spending to this need than the east and the shortage while emphasized by the war is not due entirely to 1t.

PARK FEATURES.

Wherever there is a city which is fortunate enough to have one or more public parks. and there are not many which lack such recreation places, there is to be found much interest in adding to theirl attractions. There are ponds. flower gardens, menageries and iu fact most everything which could re expected in the way of making them Inviting both 10 children and grown ups.
 At Beardsley park in Bridgeport through the interest of the Art league cr thnt city there is to be added an Anna Hathaway cottage and Shakes rc1re garden as a memorial to the great writer which leads the Telegram rf Ihat tcity to suggest ''the value and Appropriateness of adding a wild flower garden to Beardsley park in which may be grouped as many as possible cE the wild flowers that are native to Connecticut Such a garden would 'aerFe a double purpose. It would be Beautiful in It's own right and would have the added value of teaching the children Of Bridgeport to recognize and Appreciate the wild flowers that may be found i'm the woods and fields oE thia vicinity"
 The suggestion must be looked upon an most interesting one, and one which might as we'll be applied to Mo- hogan park in this city. There, it lg true. are to be found many of the wild flowers but there is no effort tD encourage them. The Bulletin has Cn several occasions suggested the ap- rrurrlateness of having a large rose garden in the park, to add to its beau ty and to increase its appeal as is dnne ln other cities, but 1t is like- wire believed that a garden of wild Flowers. or several of them for that matter. with the beds properly mark ad would likewise furnish a feature which would not only be attractive but 0ecldediy instructive. The Bridgeport augsestion is certainly worthy of seri- n1@ consideration.

lings. The machine makes a furrow in which the trees are set at any de- sired distance. and an automatic de- vice indicates where they should be dropped. Two metal-tired wheels push and roll the dirt firmly down around the roots. This is a very desirable feature, 1t is said, because the trees are apt to die if this is not well done. Two attachments make 1t possible to place water and fertilizer at the roots of each seeding. Another attachment marks the line on which the next row of trees is to be planted.
 No cost ngures are available yet, but officials say that the cost will be much less than when the planting is done by hand. It is stated that the
 machine can be used on any land which has been cleared and is not too rough to blow and harrow.

Especial to The Bul1etfn.)
 Washington, D. C., June 14.-4No In- dians in the Southwest have earned a greater respect for their fighting abil- ity than the Yaquis, who were report ed recently as threatening the line of communications of one of the Ameri- can forces operating along the Mexican border in pursuit of bandits. Con- corning this Warlike tribe the National Geographic Society has issued the fol- lowing bulletin from it's headquarters in Washington:-
 "A distinguished ethnologist has said of the Yaquis that they are the only Indians on the continent who, sur rounded by whites, from the beginning of their history, have never been fully subdued. In spite of the numerous de- feats which they have sustained at the hands of Spaniards and Mexicans, dating back to the first half of the six teenth century, they are today a brave, stalwart, athletic race, admired for their industry as we'll as for their courage. Most of the YaquIs are to be found in the southern part of Sonora, one of Mexico's border states, to the south of Arizona Here they raise corn, cotton and the mescal- producing maguey. The women are expert weav- CTS, while the men are always in de- mand as miners, sailors, farm laborers, and as expert pearl divers Most of their trading Is done at the port of Guayrnas, on the Gulf of California, where one of their chief articles of barter is the salt gathered on the ad- joining coast.
 "The Yaquis are not a numerous tribe, the highest estimate of their number being 57,000 in 1S49. It is probable that at the present time there are not more than 10000, about twenty per cent of whom were transported by the Mexican government to Yucatau l and Tehuantepec a few years ago. as the surest means of quelling the up- rlsings which continued to occur peri odieally.4 As far back as 1909 the YaQuis were dreaded foe, Captain Hurdaide in that year sustaining three successive defeats at their hands meeting with his most serious reverse when he commanded 50 Spanish cav. alrymen and 4,000 indian allies.
 "One of the most sanguinary re- volts of the Yaquis was that which oc. cured in 1925 when they were led b5 the remarkable chief known as Ban
