ments arc not yet completed but a.
IL estimated that the total valu1-
tion ur public service corporations
has boon increased nt least 3lO,-

resented largely by improvements
made by thcgo public utilities. which
have not only added millions 10 tho

MACHINERY INSPECTOR

A n EXPLORER will return to the
~ drear loneliness Of the wilder
ness. A convict free will And himself
stranso'y longing for the bitterness of
cnr,iyity. So strong Is the hold en-
yir?,ment can take on the soul Of q
..:Ni'.
On a ship In the fleet served a good
seaening chief engineer. But he had
been at sea too long. He was growing
stale, So he asked for shore duty.
He was transferred to huge steel
raill where government contracts were
filed. For two years he was to hear
the hum of lathe and scraper instead
of the pound and the wheez2 of his
own engines. Instead of the intermit.
tent roar of the turreted guns he was
to be fdeuroned by the more steady
helching of gigantic blast furnaces.
His title was Naval Inspector of Ma
chinpry.
A sunerJrcadnaught was launched.
The INSPECTOR supervised the installa-
tion Of her mighty engines. His re.
sponsihlity increased up to the day OF
her trials,
On this day a board of inspection
and survey came down in full regalia
TO hold Official tests of the new war
baby. The inspector met the big bugs
in proper form, but he didn't look
happy.
Perhaps it was the sheaf Of papers
and records he produced that filled him
full of gloom. For instance there were
the weight tables for parts and fittings
and auxliares and full boilers as we'll
as empty ones: i; may have been his
long monotonous report comparing the
finished product to the original speci.
fcations.
The machinery inspector was gray
and wenrv. Facts and figures had be.
gun to get On his nerves. Indoor work
had stolen his tan. And when he
guided fhe trial board through their
duties In trying out the newest Of our
mcn-of-war he realized he'd had
enough shore duty. "Guess I'll put In
FOR the fleet again." he declared. II
don't seem to do so we'll here"
He was wrong. Few inspectors be.
fore him had been his equal. The truth
was the old, old truth: He was home
sick fer the heave Of a plated deck
ne swish of oily bilges, and salt
'.rrnth out Of the starboard hatch.

spreading gray about his temples. Not
that he is proud Of this mark of age,
but because it runs 40 further than
his ears, "AIy gray hairs stop he OK
plains, "because | always know just
when to stop worrying"
His friends however, have one on
him" Twas the submarine bell that
got the placid shippers goat.
This g@d%et-HS we say in the navy,
meaning thingUmbOb-is a device for
transmitting sound signals under wa
ter. Large lightships such as Nam
tUcNet have a heavy bell suspended
deep in the water. BY an automatic
device Il clAnper strikes at regular in
tervHjS. Each bell along the coast has
lis characteristic interval and number
of strokes.
All large slips and men-Of-war are
fitted with receivers for capturing the
SQUAD waves set up under water by
these belts. In the outer bottom is a
small box filled with water and con-
tanning Il very sensitive diaphragm
Wl,irh vibrates in tune with the bell.
Through telephone connection one
nay catch the signals from the bridge
or any other part of the ship.
Since the receivers are on each side
sound comes most distinctly when the
bell is nearly on the beam. From four
to five miles is the average limit Of
range.
one thick March morning our self
"onra;neh friend was approaching New
York. Though he was well oif-shOre
he scupy fog made him anxious about
his IANAfaIl. Putting his submarine
telepEoue to his ear he suddenly heard
the clear note Of a bell. "That's queer"
he exclaimed, I'VE Oughnt to be any
where near the llghtShlp yer.
He swung the battleship about in
order to find which heading bl0tted
out the sound In this way he could
obtain an approximate bearing of the
ii-htshp.
But the bell kept on. 1t played reg.
ular chimes, increasing and decreas'
ing. To the CONSERVATION Of the skip
rer he was unable to determine either
the distance. direction. or character OF
the crazy thing. "Can it be some new
kind of enemy Internal maChineT ne
! wondered.
He became frantic. He cursed the
navigator, the lightship, the ofticer-of'

ard officers. in a final paroXysm OF
anxiety he sent someone to investigate
his receiving box In the double bot

Which disclosed a single happy

when the government took charge Of

wares through the Adamson act, the
labor cost of the railroads he'd not
exceeded the sum o: about $l,46S,OUO,-
600 annually. In 1920, when govern.
mental authority made the last wage
increase, the LABOR cost OF the rail-
roads was about $3.69S,OO00U0 annu-
ally, or, if continued throughout the
wear instead of for the eight months
during which the wage increases were
in effect, the labor cost, Oh al 2nnual
basis. would have been largely in ex-
cess Of $4,000, 000,000, an increase since
the government took charge OF rail-
road wages in the Adamson act, o'
approximately $2,45O, 100000 annually.
In the light Of these figures it is
manifest that the recent reduction
of wages authorized by the Labor
Board. estimated at from 10 to II per
cent. in no sense meets or solves the
prOblem of labor costs and in no way
makes it possible for the railroads to
afford a reduction in tneir revenues.
Thousands of Rates Already Reduced.
Indeed, during the past year there
have been between four and five thou
sand individual reductions in freight
rates. Cn some railroads the reduc-
tions in rates have amounted to more
than the reductions in wages, allowed
no net return on operations, but mere,
" provided against further accumula.
ton OF deficit.
The point is often made that agri-
culture and other industries are also
suffering the same immediate difficult.
ties as the railroads. Why, therefore,
do not the railroads take their medl.
cine like anybody else? The answer
The railroads were not permitted
as were other industries, to make
charges during the years Of prosperity,
making possible the accumulation of
a surplus to tide them over the pres.
ent extreme adversely. According to
the reports of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, the rate Of return in prop
erty investment of the railroads OK
the United States for the past several
years has been as follows;

BEGGING AT THEATERS

1t has remained for the New Brit
ain Welfare association to abate a
nuisance which should have been at
tended to by the police, At meeting
of the association this week attention
was drawn to the practice OF boys
who frequent theatcr doorWays and
beg small change from those about
to enter. For months this nuisance
has existed in New Britain much to
the annoyance of theater- goers, many
Of whom have encouraged the boys
to continue their efforts by ac-
quiescing to their solicitations.
1t is pointed out by the Welfare as
ISOLATION that allowing a boy to beg
for pennies is bad for the boy. It
lowers his self-respect and the nat
ural conclusion is that, lacking self
respect, he will not become a useful
citizen. There is no question that it
does have a demoralzing effect which
Is reflected in tendencies during later
years to get a living without working
for 1t. The association deserves
thanks for it's action.

Copy Of Presidents Invitation
Issued for Public PeruS2l

"aahin. ION, Nov. 'g--fr"e.drn
IIarding's invitation to t.e nations |.
discussion of limitation OF arma-
ments:
THE President Is deeply gratlied
at the cordial response to his suE-
gcstion that there should be Il confer
cncc on the subject OF Limitation OF
Armament, in connection with which
Pacific and Far Eastern questions
should also be discussed,
"productivc labor is staggering un-
der an economic burden too heavy to
be borne unless the present vast pub
lie expenditures are greatly reduced.
1t Is idle to look for stability, or the
assurance of social justice. or the Sc
curity of peace, while wastetul and
unproductiVe OUTLAWS deprive effort of
its reward and defeat the reasonable
expectation OF progress. The enor-
mours disbursements in the rivalries
OF ornaments manifestly constitute
the greater part of the enCumbrancc
upon the enterprise and national
prosperity: and aVoidable or eXtraVa-
giant expense of this nature is not
only without economic justification
but is constant menace to the peace
of the world rather than an assur-
ance of its preservation. Yet there
would seem to be no ground to eX-
pect the hating of these increasing
OUTLAWS unless the powers most large
ly concerned find satisfactory basis
FOR an agreement to effect their limi-
tation. The time is believed to be OPP
perfume for these powers to approach
this subject directly and in confer
ence; and while, in the discussion of
limitation of armament, the question
Of naval armament may naturally
have first place, it has been thought
best not to exclude questions pertain
ing to other armament to the end
that all practicable measures of relief
may have appropriate consideration.
1t may also be found advisable to
formulate proposals by which in the
interest of humanity the use of new
agencies of warfare may be suitably
controlled.
1T Is, however, quite clear that
there can be no final assurance of the
peace of the world in the absence of
viz N't'ii 'Alpi ptdCt, ana the prospect
OF reduced ornaments Is not hope
full one unless this desire finds express
sion In practical effort to remove
causes of misunderstanding and to
seek ground for agreement as to prin-
ciples and their application. It is the
earnest wish of this Government that
through an interchange of views with
the facilities afforded by the confer
ence, it may be possible to find a
solution Of Pacific and Far Eastern
problems, of unquestionable import
ance at this time, that is, such COM
mon understandings with respect to
matters which have been and are OF
international concern as may serve
TO promote enduring friendship
among our peoples.
1t is not the purpose of this Gov
eminent to attempt to define the

ENERGY

Everything must have energy to
become productive.
The powerful machine, lying idle,
Is impotent to move without energy
behind it, Some power enters it. The
cogs turn, and life starts the wheels
turning, and the cogs moving. 1t be-
comes thing of impressiveness, cap
able Of great things.
Everyone, man, woman and child,
should feel that vital spark that
came, yesterday, from the honoring of
the soldier dead, The thought of
what they did-they who fought and
died-shoud bring that vital spark to
the world in the full realization of
what they G!d. Every one of US
should profit by the memory, sad
though 1t be. Of what those men,
scarcely more than boys, did for the
world-you and me.
50 let us be not less loyal than
'N"y; not less courageous in trial;
more consistent in our behaviour
There is much in this life to be done.
They, the honored ones, performed
up to their limit.
May we, too, in honor of them, do
our best.
And may we bend that energy, in
spired by the spirit of those who
mourned yesterday, toward eVerIast-
ing peace.

ARAtiSTItE DAY

New Britain will have good cause
to remember its observance of Armi-
stice Day. No better spirit of coop
Grafton has ever been demonstrated;
high and low, rich and poor, hither
participated by appearing in the
ranks of the marching hosts or by
standing In reverence as soldiers and
sailors went past,
Veterans of three wars, all fought
for the cause of liberty, appeared in
the parade. There were men who
went through the hell of Civil War
when they were forced to take up
arms to drive out an evil that was
threatening the life of the Union.
There were men who, as champions
of our island neighbor, Cuba, re-
right the wrongs of a smaller brother.
Then there were the youths in whose
memories are scared forever the hor-
rors of the worlds greatest conflict
and In whose dreams still reverberate
the echoes of the guns laundering in
France, Belgium and on the Atlantic.
Three generations of real fighting
men, snatched from civilian life to
hold Old Glory aloft when an attack
was launched on It's existence.
Though differing in years, all are
brothers in the great common cause
Of American idealism.
One could not help noticing the
honor accorded our own flag and the
flags of our allies. Barred heads were
the rule, respect for the colors that
mingled on historic battletields was
evident on all sides.
Congratulations to the Reserve Of
fcers Training Corps of New Britain
High school, The boys earned the
praise that greeted their appearance
all along the line Of march. They
show the effects OF sound training In
erect bodies and eyes bright with the
fires of patriotism.
New Britain did well-as usual.
