THOSE NAVAL MEDALS.

The naval award disclosures are Dad enough wnen the facts regarding g them are presented as they are. It is unfortunate when they are twisted to give a. different impression. This has beens found out by Commander Bag ley, trottisr-in-la of Secretary Dan- ieis. who is naval attache at The Hague, where report had it that Ad- miral Sims charged that he received his distinguished service medal be cause of the favoritisfr of Secretary Daniels.
 As a matter of fact such was not charged by Admiral Sims in his com Inunication to Secretary Daniels al- though it was apparen+ y referre1 to when the admir- al expressed tf1e beiief that 1wa1eis ought not te be mad> u secmmantfers wh5se ships were tor Iedeed Y iru til CTS wl.o deserN cd them more were given lesser honors In the case Of Co1ntnahcer Bagiev, .:iose sip was torpedued, it was trccm,Eended by the 7asal board tcat De; should receive a navu. cross. Upon the receipt. Of tle recommendations Eecrctary panicis chan.ef the award st that i.e was listed fer diSt.n suish,.: ervice l. edal.
 ss.Is, there any wonder that Comman- der Bagley has now written to the Secretary requesting that he be given Il6 honors which others who did no hpre than he receive? From all in- szications he asks to be treated nc different because he happens to be llie secretar5's brother law and in sfbat he takes a much more creditable stand than the secretary in making $ps exception in his case.
 sAn can be appreciated that the sit pation regarding naval awards has gtaced the commander in an unenvia- De position. That is bound to be the result for all those who receive hon. ors but are less entitled to them than okhers.. Admiral Sims can readily de- eikre that he made no mention of the 1Gsnnander n ccnnect1on with the 4ETards but the secretary of the navy Sssn hardly deny that he disregarded Fhe boards action in awarding the Ntfarding the medal.

CLEAN STATIONS.

q. Up' in Springfield the users of the Hnion station are much incensed over Ns untidy and unsanitary conditions Efforts to have them remedied have athounted to nothing and complaint has been made to the city fathers. Members of the board of aldermen have been free in their denunciation of the condition found there which is not only dissraceful to the railroad responsible but to the city as we'll In view of the fact that equally deter mined efforts have previously been made to better the conditions there the impression is gained that there is 8 laSness on the part Of those re- sponsible for the upkrep of tie building, lack Of funds with which tp do the necessary work or a belief that the quickest way to get q. new building is to let the dirty and foul conuluons multiply.
 Even under the government admin lstration of the railroads serious han dicaps have existed Among these is the failure 70 give attention to many details that were looked after in the past, and the decline in service. Now ES CAl DC dPpt tC4dlSO LtlaJ the TdlI- roads have plenty of ways for the use of money without putting large sums into them where it is not necessary, But that is no excuse for the main tenance of dirty stations. IF present buildings are in it conditions tc serve until more favorable times come fer new ones they should certainly be kept clean. Just because a station is old does not mean that it cannot be Kept tidy and wholesome by scrub

OTHER VIEW POINTS

While the Connecticut ceinpany Was admittedly losing money on the live cent fare, and also on the si5 cent fare, there is a way out. Tie pfoper course was pointed out more than a year ago by the Bridgeport Traffic commission which said then just what Mayor, Wilson said yesterday = first. that the Bridgeport lines should De segregated from the rest of the Con neeticdt company lines. and second, that the five cent unit fare should be restored. But the Traffic commission went further and pointed out; with the hacking of one Of the nations fore most trolley. experts, how this could De brought about. It showed that the oiie-fnan safety ear is the real ansW- CT to the situation and that tife econ osi1ies of operation made possible through the use of this car, togeth- or with the inereased service, would pay dividends of1 a. five cent fare. r. sounds reasonable. Why not give tha thing a trial? Let the Bridgeport lines be segregated for atrial period and the five cent fare be restefed in connection with the Birney cars. Then see how the plan Woks, over < fair period. d.-Bridg dgeport Telegram.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Farm and Garden.

MT Editor: What are we going to do with that piece of land of ours The cost, of living is high and will not be any lower. We are asking our selves the question what are we going to do about it? It seems to us one of the best ways is to make the land produce more by a vigorous use of time and farm tools and begin right now. I have young friend living in Norwich who works in twine fac tory. He is a live wire everywhere and is planning for a large garden. He has begun already. Has cut bean poles and pea brush and is doing other things to be ready when the rush comes in the spring. Time is the most valuable thing there is. In fact it is the only capital that most of us have and is a source of profit or loss, ac- cording to the way we use it. A stitch in time saves nine. That seed corn if tasted now may save many dollars planting time. Those fruit trees and grape vines if pruned now will bear more and better fruit That breed ing pen selected now will produce a fine flock which are sure to bring good prices next fall
 Look over the farm tools now and have them ready when needed. It will help a whole tot toward a successful years work. So come on boys, begin to get up steam and run the old en- zine at high speed. nothing less than forty pounds pressure in the boiler Don't be afraid. it won't blow up Let Us make this the best year ever by increasing production and by so do- ing cut down the cost of living for ourselves and others.
 Yours truly,

lrALY,s ACCEPTANCE

Word from Paris to the effect that a programme for the settlement of the AdriaHo, question has been accepted by Italy indicates that some progress 4s at last being mace toward the ad- 5ustment of a situation which ought ft1g ago to have been eliminated. Ap- parently the conclusion Of the ar Eangemsnt now depends upon the View that is taken of it by the Jugo- sIavs.
 tuWhilei no of1ical announcement has been made of the details of the plan Unofficial statements incline to the be- lief that the idea is to make Plume a free port, divide up the islands and possibly give Italy the mandate for Albania That would give Jugoslavia an outlet through Plume, so long the bone of contention, and it would avoid the outright gift of that part of the foftheastern Adriatic coast to Italy against which step there has been strong opposition because of the Jugo sla7s. Italy's acceptance improves the situation greatly.
 But for Plume the situation in that fegion would long ago have been ad- busted. Strong has been the pleas that ft be made Italian territory, even though taer9 was TIC such stipulation fn the agreements, because of the in1- rortant service that Italy rendered and the losses that 1t suffered in the war.

STORIES OF TIE WAR
What Allies Have bons in Eussif,

What AiiteS nave Done n ReSStA
 General Rudolph Gaida, formerly commander of the Czeeho. .siovsk forces. in Siberia, declared before. he let isst Nladivostok for Shanghai that
 the allies are doing Russia mare harm than the. Boisheviki and the sooner the. allies leave 1t the better 1t will be for Russia"
 General Gaida with his Cz4cho- Slovak troops defeated the boisheviki at Perm, He led the revoiutiohafy movement which took place Novpfa- Der IS; was captured by government authorities and agreed to leave Sibe- ria.
 All the allies have done in Russia. he said to The Associated Press cor respondent, is to support black mon Denikif1e. Yutienitch and the Atamans. All the future can hold is absolute monarchy or abso- lute bolshevisf11. The Center sfoiip, the Social Revolutiohafies the S0eiaiz Dem6cfats and the other smaller groups of similar political 0ffentafion will be unable to assume leadership. All Siberia west of Lake Bafkai viii fail to the bolsheyiki, and from BaiRai to the Pacific will he Japanese doriir- ated provinces controlled By the At amans."
 General Gaida stated that lie Be- lieved that the only people who can tie Russia together again are those who are now known as bdlshcIiki. These ,so-called bolsheviki he termed them, are not the Reds Of the days of terror in European Russia. Today, he said, there is 8 national movement in Russia for clear democracy and that the crude form which is now being
 dfsplyed eventually will work It. self out in a moderate social pro
 gramme. He said that the army that was approaching Lake Baikal from the west, the army that he defeated at Perm last winter was an ofi1eered army, with generals, eoIonels, captains and soldiers. It was disciplined. Thers was. military staff; schools and academies for training men for the army. The doctrine of communism were zone from it; personal rights in property had been established and were being maintained. The world should know more Of the facts re- sarding actual conditions in Siberia fsaida said.
 ''The democratic movement Is inc vitables'' he concluded.
 General Gaida Was asked if in his opinion the allies could not aid h the realization of. this pure democracy Of which he had spoken by lending aid to the government formed at 0nisk and headed zllys Admiral KoIehak. He laughed heartily.
 Ne, Nikdy!" he said, which is Czech for NC, NeVer.'

FIGHTING THE sWiNDLER.

With increased attention being giv- en to the protection of investors and the holders of bank accounts the idea has been advanced by Senator Ken yon to the effect that a federal law Should be passed for the purpose of blocking the wildcat investment schemes. According to the bill pro- visions would be made for holding those who make aIluring promises and assure big interest returns responsi- ble for whatever statements they make in their plospectuses and like wise responsible for the way in which the money of investors is handled.
 It will be required by the bill that publicity must be given to all new securities by having statements filed with every postmaster in which all details would have to be set forth and penalties of S5.000 fine or 2 five year sentence would be imposed fer fause statements made :f investors through the mails.
 None, better than the federal au- thorities, realizes the extent to which people are being swindled out of their hard earned money ty just such schemes as this bill would affect Those who are bent upon speculation realize that they are taking a chance. If they win or lose they are prepared but with those who are inveiglef into parting witt cash, sound securities nr Liberty bonds lkder the claim that they are going to get something much better. that they will get their money back in interest in a very few years and that they are being given a chance to get rich quick only to find out that they have lost all or most of their money it is time .i1at every pos s;ble channel for the operation of such sw'ndlers was closed.
 It is in the interest os the honest dealer that such protection is pro- posed. A number of states have pass ad jaws for the b,ocking of the un- scrupulous promoter but there is no danger that there will be any greater protection given than is deserved. It makes no difference what tl1eir-s scheme is the swindler needs to be suppressed in every way possible.

Mir. Editor: Tn this reply to MT.
 MeWilliarns' second letter, which we
 hope also others will read, we are
 obliged again to centrovert his judg-
 neIt in the comparison he makes be-
 tween the president and Mr Bryan in
 the, matter of word -painting' as he
 terms it. This nation and the whole
 world surely know that MT. Bryan is an orator and that in the line of
 word painting MT. Wilson could hard " hold candle for him. One. glance
 at Mir. Bryan's head and mouth will
 convince the pf1fenologist and phy- siognon1ist that whatever other vir- tues he has or lacks he's bCNl ora tor But the difference of the men
 does not rest in this comparison. The crl.x of their difference and the issue of these letters is involved in our for mer duestion--does MT. McWilliams approve of MT. Bryap's first break with the president? This question af- ter much fencing he returns unan- swered.
 Like all mortals MT. Bryan must be judged by his known past and not by his conjectured future. His great strength, as stated, and his failing in heres in his artful genius to get in out of the wet. Having been in politi-
 cal obscurity for some time he seized the opportunity of the Jacksonian banquet to put himself in the light and like death, he selects a shining
 mark. He well knew that he would achieve no popularity by attacking
 such things as Lodge or LaFollette, Borah or Brandegee, and we have
 seen that he made his point. Mir Nc Williams applauds and even some re- 1 publican papers are dubbing the man I Colonel Bryan" though of what reg l iment or division is not stated. nor l the fields in Flanders or France on which the 'colonel'' distinguished him. self.
 From this and many other points of l view we do not consider that Mir. i Bfyan's appearance or deliverance was opportune or that lie is entitled i to have much to say about the league 1 of nations or the proper conclusion of Q permanent peace. Our judgent is nc
 more likely to De i1fallib1e than Mir
 McWilIianns, but we will state as 1 briefly as possible on what it is found ed and then be done.
 When Mir. Bryan's first break with the president took place the United
 States of America was neutral. The
 status quo, ante bellum was like this Germany considered it's system of espionage so complete that this coun- l try would not, because it could not
 enter the war. Besides this, Germany did not look on this country as a soIi darity, but nation of two eeflteniins parties, and that as the executive was 1 democratic and the legislative main | ly republican no united front could be l formed to oppose her. Out of this confidence, we now well know, the atrocious acts of Germany, both ffili- tary and incendiary were committed Committed deliberately and auda- ciousIy. At this time and under these
 conditions MT. Bryan was secretary of state-a position only second to the
 president-and at this time MT. Bryan
 saw fit to withdraw from the cabinet confirming Gerfnany's opinion that the 1 United States government at it's very head, was not an unit. This break gave what we may well call comfort 1 if not aid, to our enemy.
 The scrpuIes MT Bryan offered al that time as his ezc1tse was that tlle

 changes

Naturshsts are gfievouSly diSap- pointed to learn that once again an okapi has succumbed to the rigors of a voyage from it's tropical home to the cold attitudes of Europe. Change of climate is clearly fatal to this cu- rious compound in whom the ci1arac teristics of zebra, giraffe and antelope meet. For all attempts to export it have failed, and in 1903, when it was announced that ten specimens were on their way from the Belgian Congo to Leopold, not one arrived alive.
 Skins, however, have reached Isu- rope, but though ,wl1en mounted, they show the formation of the animal, there is one sad deficiency. The beau ty, of the colours on the living animal has faded, and the rich vinous Ted markings on shoulders and back and the bright chestnut of the tail have to be imagined.
 Goldsmith in Wine Office Court There is probably no city in the world which has it's records in such a hope less muddle as has London. The very few text books are mostly modelled one on the other, each penpetuating the formers mistakes and inaccura- cies.

The printed mat ter-making for record and handed to guests at the function-stated that this was where Goldsmith lived.

The Easiest Way
 To End Dandruff

There is one sure way that never fails to remove dandruff completely and that is to dissolve it.. This destroys it entirely. To do this, just get about four ounces of plain, ordinary liquid arvoil; apply it at night when retiring. use enough to nioisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips.
 By morning, most if not all of your dandruff will be gone. and three or four more applications will completely dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it. no matter how much dandruff you may have.
 You will find. too, that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop in stantly and your hair will be, ffnfTy. lustrous, glossy. silky and soft, and look and feel a hundred times better.
 You can get liquid arv6n at any drug store. It is inexpensive. and four ounces is all you will need This sim pile remedy has never been known to fail.
