WASHINGTON, Aug. 2l.-With
designations of more than three hun
dred permanent officers of the navy
already submitted, Acting Secretary
Roosevelt began work on proposed
legislation to be submitted to Con-
gress suggesting a substantial pay
increase for officers and enlisted men
in the navy and marine corps. Most
of the, designations are from younger
officers and in the lower grades. They
say they find it impossible to support
families on their pay. More resigna-
tions now on file than has been re-
ceived from entire regular navy in
the last thirty years.

It is regrettable that Swansea and Seekonk should lose their direct trol- ley connection with Providence and Fall River, but what could the stock holders do except to vote to sell the rails and other prOpe rty for junk The road was unprotitable ard it seems impracticablc to increase fares to meet expenses.
 The fate that has overtaken this line has befallen other street rail- ways and will extend to still others if existing conditions are not altered. The public may as well make Up it's mind to that; wages and materials are higher than ever before and trolley mana gers are not exempt from the increased econC mic pressure of the time.

 For the springtime's cheer. Heed not the dying rose

What Shall We Do With Our Jails?
(Waterbury Republican)

NaterDury RepubllCan)
 The population at the New Haven county jail has decreased since this time last year from 292 to 166 The falling off is credited to prohibition. Since the jail can accommodate 45O, there are 2S4 empty cells there now. The only prisoners in the MddleseX county jail at Haddam are those bound over to the superior court and if these are sent elsewhere the jail will be empty. There has been some discussion of the advisa bility of clos ing the Hartford county jail because of lack of patronage, and reports from other parts of the state indicate a growing disuse of the rest of the county jails.
 If this condition is not altered after the danger of a wet period is past and federal prohibition has come to stay, if would seem that Connecticut should eConomize by doubling up on it's jails. There is no need for each county to maintain a jail capable of holding hundreds for only handful of prisoners. Coulties should ar range to maintain jails in common That would throw a number Of empty iails on the market, Dut there would prob ablv be no trouble in finding use for thom. Other institutions that need buildings could move in after sorle alteration, or they could be solL for factories. Or, if housing condi- tions continue to be critical, the cells could be thrown together to form light housekeeping apartments This suggestion does not seem so inhurlan when one remembers actual tene- ,nant conditions and present high
