Exports of Automobiles

The remarkable growth in the use of automobiles in the Tinted Sta .eS during the last seven years has been equaled by the increase of automo- bile exports in the same period. In 1912 registration statistics showed 100000 cars in use in the United States; in 1918 the number had grown to 5.900,000.
 From 1912 to 1918 the value of automobile exports from the United States rose from $25,657.294 to $11o.- 13S,S31. Shipments to latin America increased 70S per cent; the value of automobile exports to Europe in 1916 was ten times that of the shipments in 1912. The highest point in this trade was reached in 1915, when ship ments were worth over $120 G00, 600 and consisted principally of motor trucks for war uses. Notwithstand ing the restrictions imposed by the United States government during the war, exports during the fiscal year 1917 amounted to $11S.377, ,o47, in 1918 to $110.13S,S51 and during the first nine months of the 1919 fiscal year to S75,800, ,000.

EARTHQUAKE VICTIMS.

Nothing more than the ravages connected with war call forth the sympathetic response of the people of the world than the devastation caused by earthquakes, famines, fires and floods where there are not only many lives taken but hundreds of thousands and sometimes millions are left home less and destitute.
 Just at the present time attention is attracted by the havoc that has been wrought in Italy. It is many years since such a serious seismic disturb ance has taken place in that part of Italy The quake was felt over a wide area but it was the smaller rather than the larger places that suffered the most There buildings collapsed, homes were demolished and death and injuries were the expected accom- paniments
 The war has somewhat detracted from the usual amount of attention given to such affairs. and such par ticuIarly was the case in connection with the appalling situation not so long ago in Java where far greater havoc than has resulted in Italy was caused But regardless of where such disasters take place there cannot fail 10 be a general desire on the part of humanity in the four corners of the world to extend a helping hand
 There seems to be no reason now to believe but what Italy is in a position TO take care of the situation within it's own counfry. Its war machinery has not been demobilized so much but what 1t can be turned to good use in the provision of food and temporary shelter for those affected. So far there has been no call extended for outside assistance but should it come there will be no question but what there will be the same generous re- spo1se as has been given on previous occasions. Humanity in distress never should and never does get a cold shoulder

Opponents of Eoishevisn.

There are about 100000 Bashkirs Mohammedans of mixed Finnish and Tartar descent) living in Perm, Cfa Viatka and Orenburg governments. They are for the most part landowners, small or great and for that reason are opposed to bolshevisIn, so far at least as the latter's land distribution pro gram is concerned. Otherwise there is little difference between the Mus sulnan and the Russian in his at titude toward blosheVisn.
 The Mussulman is opposed to bol- shevism also regarding it's policy to- ward religion. The mass of the Mus sulnnan population is extremely relig- ious and believes that questions of re- ligion are it's own affairs. The mer- chants, like the Russian merchants are against bolshevism. The peasant who owns no land favors it.
 Abraham Ahtiamov a social demo- crat (Menshevik), of Ufa, a member of the first Constituent assembly, a Mussulman attorney and a man of ex- ceptional intelligence; quotes Lenine, the boIshevik premier as saying that to every bolshevika are alta ched -,thir- ty-nine scoundrcls and sixty fools"

development in the whaling industry Whaling has also been rendered more profitable through the employment Of improved methods of dealing with the catch whereby practically all of the carcass is utilized.
 In the North Atlantic and Arctic seas the principal localities where whaling is carried on are in the neighborhood of the Faroes. Iceland, the coast of Norway and the New foundland coast. In the North Paeif- ic whaling is pursued off the coast of British Columbia and the islands of Alaska. Whaling enterprises are com ducted also off the coast of Chile, from Durban, Natal, from Portuguese East Africa and from the Seychelles. But it is in the British colony of the Falkland islands and it's dependencies of South C. .1rgia, the South Shet- lands, Graham Land and the South Orkneys that the greatest develop ments have taken place. The whal- ing waters of these seas are the most lucrative ever exploited.

THE NEW YORK WRECK.

Another distressing railroad diSa stef has occurred in New York state where the lives of twelve persons were snuffed out and many more were injured. It was plainly not a case of failure on the part of the locomotive engineer or the fiagman of the train ahead that caused the rear end coll lision. Both did their utmost to avoid
 the wreck and the former is included in the list of dead, though his death did not occur until he had time to ex- plain that while he had fully tested out his brakes some miles previous, it was impossible to get them to work when the danger signals were ob- served and it was consequently inn possible to stop the train. This in- dicated that something was radically wrong, that it was not the human fac tor in connection with the operation of the Westerner or the trainman of the express ahead who had failed in his duty.
 What the fault was will undoubt- ed1y be determined by the investfga- tions that are underway but accord ing to the account of the wreck it seems most probable that the man whose body was found crushed be- tween the tender and the first car. at which point the air line to the brakes on the rest of the train was found shut off. was the cause of the col lision. The shutting off of the air at that point made it impossible to use the emergency brakes and there was not time enough in which to bring in- to use the hand brakes on the coaches.
 That the dead man had in some way, possibly while climbing aboard for ride in that location on the train. shut off the air valve at that point seems probable. and in view of the fact that he paid the full penalty there is no reason to believe but what he was unconscious of what he had done and that the cause of this particular wreck must be classed as unavoidable under the circumstances, though more attention may be given in the future to protecting such valves.

farming purposes. The idea is to so control the waters of that basin that there will not be the danger to crops from the overf1owing of the river banks that there has been in the past, which will mean that two million more acres will be available for cul- tivaticn. When portion of the val ley placed under cultivation last year produced crops to the value of $35,- 100000 it can be appreciated what benefits are going to accrue to that state. Such an example is going to encourage many others and the favor able proposition made to soldiers and sailors will doubtless meet with a ready response, And what is being done in California can be accomplish ed in other states where they are waste lands waiting to receive the proper attention.

 When Imogene cried joyousIy one night on my return home from toll that Tiliy Updyke had written she was coming to stay a week with her on her way east she was a perfect model for Rapture or The Heights of Joy or something these seulptors do.

NEW ENGLAND's ATTRACTIONS.

At this season of the year the ques- ton of vacations and where to go for an outing of a week or fortnight, or a stay of a month or two is uppermost in the minds of a large number of people. Fortunate indeed are the pec- pie of this part of the country in be- ing so located that the great variety of desires in this respect can be fully satisfied. for it makes no difference whether it is fishing trip. stay in the far back country. tramping jour ney, an automobile tour, trolley ex- cursion, an historic pilgrimage, a sail along the coast, a camping party, a stay in the mountains or a visit to lake or seaside resorts. all are within reach of pocketbook and time.
 The diversity of attractions in New England and for that matter our own state of Connecticut are such that we are inclined to overlook the delightful vacation ground that is at our very doors The beauties and wonders of New England are so common that we are inclined to leave it to others to extol them and yet there is to be en- joyed right here what many people think they must go to the other end of the country or even abroad to find

 The chamber of commerce has started an investigation of the high cost of living in Waterbury with the intention of finding out if Wa terbury people are forced to pay higher prices than people of other nearby cities of similar size and if there are any merchants here who are profiteernig. The chamber has outlined ambitious course for the investigation and if it is carried out painstakng1y the data obtained should be of a good dea l of value. The matter of wages, for instance, cannot be intelligently considered un- til we have accurate information upon the cost of living. Also if the cost of living is higher in Waterbury than in neighboring cities the reasons for it must be uncovered and then perhaps a remedy can be found. It is to be hoped that the chamber of commerce will carry this work forward energeticalIy and thoroughly.-Wat Repub- ucan.
