where losses are shown, while the sig niicanca of industrial enterprises in community progress is shown by gains recorded where industrial activity has been marked. In the towns where the drift from the farm may be said to ac- count for losses are Colchester, Leba- non, Lyme, Old Lyme, Voluntown, and Bozrah. It is hard to explain why Gris wold, which contains the borough of Jewett City should show loss, or why Sprague should be on the wrong side of the column.
 The town of Groton, where there has been the development of the Groton Iron. works and the New London Ship and Engine Co., makes the fine gain of 2,732, which is the best of any town which does not include 8 city. Water ford and Preston are two towns which show good gains, the former probably through the influence of the growth of New London, many of whose business people have residences in Waterford, and the latter through the increase brought by the registration at the Nor wich state hospital which is in the town of Preston. Waterford gained S3S and Preston s2s. [,
 New London county is on the way to yet better figures and in another ten years hopes to show an even larger gain than 14.7 per cent.

TREE SURGERY IS SAID TO DRIVE BIRDS AWAY

The curious fact that intensive forestry and tree surgery, which are measures of preservation, are factor in causing the disappearance of many of our wild birds was presented in London recently by Lee s. Crandall curator of birds to the New York Geological gardens, who was look ing after a consignment of birds and an imals from England to the United States The only remedy that he suggested for it was to build places for the birds 10 nest in and establish feeding and drinking places for them. That was being done successfully in many of the rural dis tricts, said he.
 The consignment of birds and animals which Mfr Crandail was looking after in England represented the first exchange of courtesies between New York and Lon don. It followed a similar gift from the United States. Although diligeat efforts were made to add one to the collection no English song thrush could be found
 '1t is pity said Crandall "They sing well in captivity, but no one seems to have caught any. One thing I noticed in England is that the birds there adap, themselves to civilization so much better than our American birds. Houses and towns seem to frighten our native biPss away and many species are beeemins very scarce.

WITH WALLET AND BALL

Norwich will this week extend it's hospitality to the knights of the mallet and' ball who annually come here for their tournament to decide the national roque championship. So long have na- here that the tournament has come to be an institution that has been looked for ward to and would be greatly missed by the tew1speople if it were not to come, while the players have time after time reiterated their choice in Norwich as the tournament city when proposals to mak a change have been presented.
 Differing from the strenuous tennis on the one hand and from the space cover it's devetees yet find it full of attraction for lovers of the out-of-doors and fur nishing abundant opportunity for that display of skill and judgement that makes keen rivalry in any sport Roque, as is well known, is an outgrowth of the old game of eroquet, but the old-fashion- ed croquet player would be but a mere novice if he should essay a game upon the sanded courts with cement borders where the roque enthusiasts will try out their science this week.
 The pleasure of having the croquet play CTS here each year has always been mu- tual one for Norwich homes have all ways been gladly opened for their en- tertainment and the acquaintances formed between the visitors and the home folk have been valued and renew ed year after year.

TROLLEY DEVELOPMENTS

While the plight of the trolley lines all over the United States has been one to arouse public. concern in many com munities, developments in the trolley sit- uation in various parts of the country notice at the present time, one in To- ledo and the other in Bridgeport.
 In Toledo some time ago the people voted to order the cars off the streets and they were taken to Michigan by the operating company. With tn cars gone the people began to look around to see how they could solve their city trans portatien problem and the proposal was advanced te bond the city for sT,oeo 900 for the purchase of the trolleys and run them under municipal ownership, This has now been voted down.
 Nearer home we have the city of Bridgeport where the cars were takn off the streets by the Connecticut company after jitney competition had made a big slice into the trolley receipts. Since then the traffic in that city has been handled by the jitneys, but the latest news from there indicates something of change of attitude as to the satisfactory service which the jitneys give. One of the nec- cessary accompaniments to the use of so large a number of jitneys in the city was 8 no parking rule Leading mer- chants who had prefessed to be indif- ferent to the withdrawal of the trolleys are new said to be complaining that their business has been cut down one quarter since the trolleys were discon= tinued They express dissatisfaction with the no parking rule which the prevalence of the jitney makes necessary, for they say that people with automobiles are shopping in other cities where there are less stringent parking regulations, while people without ears are taking trains to other cities to do their shopping so as to avoid the jitRey travel.
 Along with a reported falling off in business, Bridgeport merchants are said 10 be discovering an increase in the proportion of deliveries. Explanation of this may be found partly in the fact that friends shop for one another, that there has been an increase in telephone orders and partly to the difficulty of carrying parcels home in the jitneys, which the women are said particularly to avoid. especially if they are laden with parcels.
 What the ultimate outcome is to be is rot yet in sight and the city is laboring along with no relief from the present situation in prospect.

TOO MUCH ENTHUSIASM

fuss about it every morning that l had to bribe Nellie to bring me pot in my room, which was really better in the end, because the pots held more than three cups.
 T could go on indefinitely telling you all the difficulties I got into by ac- knowledging we'll defined likes and dis likes, and not having sense enough to keep still about them. At home I've always been as enthusiastic as pleas ed about lost of common things, and fanc:e1 it rather a charm but never againr' i,Htsr'
 .,eeer again?" repeated the lady in the hammock curiously. You have merry life ahead of you. What will you do?"
 T might remain perfectly drab, act bored and indifferent and never express an opinion about anything. might ask for my third cup of coffee so quiet ly that no one but the waiter can pos- sibly hear me, take walks by myself and not go in for single sport .'
 Well" said the hammock lady sit ting up, maybe you can do that, but l doubt it. And if you do people will feel sorry for you and try to make you take an interest in something. The old doctors will bring you bottles of tonic. No, I don't believe there's way in the world by which folks can stop other people fro,n talking some sort of in- terest in them. Unless by going to desert island '"
 "Oh, there are plenty of ways to avoid these enthusiasms that lead to annoying complications" said the ging- ham girl. AS you say, the living of an emetienless life would be rather dull, so I shall pick out some enthusiasms of my own. think I shall study reti- efrs next summer, for summer vacation purposes exclusively"
 'fWhat are rotifeEs?'' asked the young woman in the hammock
 That is it, exactly" said the ging- ham girl Hardly anybody knows what rotifers are and I would not be likely to encounter them at hotels And then there are Silurian trilobites and meso- seic diatoms and quite lot of cute lit- tie things like that. I could have them for hobbies and I think I should be quite free from intrusions' and invasions of my privarcy."
 "I'H tell the world you will" said the girl in the ammock.-Exchange

"The next time I go away for the summer" remarked the girl in the gingham gown, Pm going to carry my own fads and fancies. And I'm going to have some that are unique, different and original-the kind that other peo- pie won't care for"
 Gracious !" cried the girl in the ham mock. And you've always had such good assortment of popular hobbies your baggage"
 Nope, they didn't get lost" said the gingham girl. flaming herself with vigor They merely got in my way. l went to a hotel where l hoped to find people, not too rich, who were free from ennuni and had a little human enthusiasm. The folks at this hotel were not blase about anything. They enthused beautifully. The first morning a lady came up te E1e and asked me if like to play folf. said I did and thereafter she pursued me every morning when I wanted to play with Jerry Mason. Jerry and I were awfully rude to her finally and told her I'd sprained my ankle. It was a little embarrassing when she met us on the links a half hour later.
 Then there was a dear old lady who loved cards. I was nice to her the first day and taught her a new kind of solitaire, but subsequently, every time sat down on the veranda for a minute she wanted me to play with her. A woman who saw me with a bird book wanted to call me early every morn ing so that we could go out before sum rise and watch the birds get up. Their enthusiasm was amazing!"
 Must have been," murmured the girl in the hammock.
 And I found it was just as conpli- cated to pretend that you hated thing as to say liked it. There was knitting. for instance. Because I said I didn't like to knit, one of the laides wanted to teach me her own way, as she was sure I'd like that. She even went so far as to buy me skein of wool and give the bill for it.
 And ceffee-well, I asked for three cups the first morning and told the waitress that I simply adered it, and the old doctor at the end of our table actually told her not to let me have it He said it was bad for my heart Just imagine And he didn't know whether had heart or not He made such

tRaEs STATES TO PLANT TREES

The statement of the forestry ser rice of the department of agriculture pucz with statistical accuracy a fact Ehich has long been widely known and widely regretted That is the deterio- ration Of the forest growths in many sastern states The forestry service con- saes is figures 10 the states of New fork and Pennsylvania, which once ranked close to the top in lumber supply ,f the country and points out that these states might still produce lumber enough for their own needs if an intelligent plan were adopted for reforesting the f1ssat land not suitable for farm use.
 he essolstion left in the wake of the saw and pulp mills on eastern mountain s.6es has long been regretted, because springs and streams dried up in the Ezke of denadztion and the fertility of pastures and farm lands was reduced. This report adds the possibility of se- curing Q source of lumber supply with 5rc the cost of long hauis as an added argument for the intelligent treatment ut these spaces long ago cut over.
 The idea is practicable enough, as they have proved in Vermont, where they have a state forester whose duty it is to assist farmers in replanting their waste hHlsides to white pine and other lumher-msking trees. and where such plantations are exempted from taxation tor a time The trouble that white pine is Of slow growth and the man who goes into such an undertaking must leave his children to reap the fruit of hi
 foresight If t were possible to grow timber like Jacks beanstalk and to meet he present high prices of lumber by ,7isiaE new crops in a single season. -e should see active speculation in these waste haisides- But when it comes to 7labfing for posterity the American is apt to retort with the old joke: What .zs posterity done for us?'

Saws May Big Records

When it was suggested to make some circular saws 1eS inches in diameter to be used in cutting shingle boats, say the American Forestry Magazine of Wash ington, D. C., most people laughed and thought the idea crazy.
 The strain would be too great; no mandrel could hold saw with a sur fact so large could not run straight and true. But even as Marconi ac- accomplished his idea of the wireless telegraph after all the world mocked so has the Disston firm done what seemed impossible.
 On April 10, 1920, two circular saws 10s inches at Hoquiam. Wash, and they ran perfectly. Special machinery was necessary to carry them. The power turned on they began to run slowly then as the speed grew the hum increased until it sounded like the noise of a swarm of bees.
 The separated edge, travelling at a. speed of 1S0 miles an hour, cut through big coast logs with an ease and ra- pidity that astonished experienced mill men, American Forestry says, With an ordinary saw the single weaver ire auently had to wait for bolts to ac- cumulate; with the installation of these saws the crews in the cutting and pack ing department were fairly swanped.

Stories That Recall Others

 Not Chiy alreus.
 The storm which had been brewing for some time was fast coming to a head Mother-in-law was at the bottom of the quarrel. 'Ah, me ?" sighed the young wife. 'The days of chivalry are gone ,' "Chivalry be hangedi" was the hus- band heated retort,

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
As One With Wilson.

MT. Editor: MT. White, chairman of the democratic national committee, has recently publicly stated that "the League question would be nothing more than a secondary issue in the campaign" That Governor Cox would appeal to the voters on his record of advocacy of progressive measures"
 But soon after Governor Cox was nom mated for the presidency he had a con- ference with President Wilson, and each of them published statement of the re- suit of the conference.
 In his statment Mir. Wilson said:
 T found, what I already knew, and what Governor Cox has let the whole world know in his speech, that he and l are absolutely as one, with regard to the great issue of the League of Ma tions: :'
 And in his statement Governor Cox said:
 We are agreed as to the meaning and and to the duty of the party in the face of the threatened bad faith to the world in the name of America.
 %What he (Mr. Wilson, promised shall, if elected endeavor with all my strength to give"
 I have republished these statements in order that the voters may realize that Gov Cox lis absolutely as one WitF President Wilscon in regard to the League issue, and that he has stated that if elected he would endeayer witt all his strength ito give" what Mir. Will son promised"
 now call public attention to the fac that the democratic party has virtually declared in it's platform that it is op posed to the ratification of the League with the reservations for Article 10 tha republican and democratic senators have made, and that President Wilson has re fused to accept.
 For if Article 10 is ratified withou these reservations it will obligate con gress to declare war for the United States, when and against such nation! us it is advised to declare it, by officer of the League. And one of the consti tutional powers of congress will be lost O. given away.
 When our fbderal constitution con- | fers on congress the power to declar war, it confers upon that body the pow CT to decide, when and against what na l tions the United States shall go tt war.
 And Article 10 does not violate ou Federal Constitution by depriving con gress of it's boyer to declare war, a some parsons have claimed. It violate l that instrument by depriving congress I of the power to decide when and agains what nations it shall declare it. To repeat-Article 10 leaves eongres war and gives the power to decide whel
