X DEATH CROSSING AND THE
 OLD MORAL
(From the Worid).

The grade-crossing disaster at nine volunteer firenen while in the performance of their duty excites a public condemnation of proportionate to its seriousness. As one of the worst fatalities of it's kind in the met ropolitan area it calls for more than ordinarily rigid investigation. VIII it prove sufficiently shocking to cause the removal of any possible danger of other disasters there? This is the question of more importance than the question who was actually at fault.
 A Coroner's jury and local and State boards of inquiry will fix the blame and no doubt recommend that somebody be punished, if punishment is feasible. But all possible inves- mine what is already known. that the failure of some human factor caused the tragedy. And human fac tors are always fallible.
 If this disaster is taken with real seriousness the grade crossing which long invited it and eventually caused it must go. Safety there is not matter of gates up or gates down or of the psychological moment for way ing a red flag signal. The only way to make life safer wherever trains cross city streets at grade is to aboI- iSh the crossing.

EXPERT OPINION.
(From the Evening Worldl.

(From the Evening World). Former Secretary of the Treasur McAdoo said this week in an addres at Wellesley, Mass:
 What we should do at once is to enter into the League of Ma tions and throw the weight of our moral and political influence to compose conditions in Europe and restore economic prosperity there. then encourage every eff fort to reduce war expenditures.
 Then we should adopt every possible means that will facilitate and not restrict our foreign trade.
 '-The world. is confronted with the alternative of disarmament or bust"
 Present Secretary of the Treas ury Mellon is pretty closely in accord on the disarmament or bust' proposition.
 Where's better expert, inside or experienced opinion?

IMMIGRATION OF GERMANS INTO
 MEXICO CROWS

Mexico City, June 1S-Immigra- ton of Germans to Mexico is on the increase. A despatch from Vera Cruz today said that S5 per cent of the first cabin passengers arriving there on the Dutch steamer Friezia on Fri day were Germans. All will settle in this country. Most of the German immigrants coming here are from the well to do, educated class.
 Congress has approved President Obregon's temporary measure pro hibiting the immigration of foreign laborers. This bill is designed to protest Mexican workers. It's enact ment was due to the recent arrival of about 1000 American laborers, not belonging to trade unions, who received work in the oil fields in preference to Mexicans. Announce ment was made that the law will be repealed when the industrial depres- sion is over.
 Several moro arrests have been made of army officers who were all legged to have been implicated with Pablo Gonzales in revolutionary agitations against the government. They will shortly be court martialed.
 The prisoners include Gen. Sidonio Mendez, who, with a handful of foI< lowers began an uprising in San Luis Potosi.

STORRS HAS NEW SLOGAN
 FOR HEALTH

Storrs, Conn.,, June 1s-"Eat more lettuce" is slogan suggested by specialists of Connecticut AgHcul- tural College, in view of the present large crop in this State and its un- usual high quality and present cheap ness. Lettuce, in common with other green, leafy vegetables. con tains valuable mineral salts, especial tain bodily ills.
 The present growing season, all though unfavorable to many Of the garden products, has brought a tremendous crop of lettuce, which thrives in cool weather. The quality Is said to be exceptionally good. Much of it is not being marketed be- cause of Kman demand

Few of us, say the specialists, eat enough lettuce. spinach and similar vegetables. Their increased use is especially important for growing children, as they are high in the fac tors known as "vitamines" Use of such foods, it is said, tend to prevent anemia, scurvey and intestinal trou- bles- Lack of such food clements is now considered to be the chief cause of the Astatic disease known as beri- bert. Lettuce too, along with similar fresh vegetables, Is believed to be a preventive of much of the dental trouble that follows a deit low in calcium or lime.

FOR
 SPECIAL TOWN MEETING JUNE 21

Preparations have been completed for the special town meeting to be held in stratford Tuesday evening. June 21. at which time efforts will be made to vote a special tax of two thirds of one mill to cover immediate needs of the fire department.
 What seems necessary at this time is an adequate pumping engine, and the board of fire commissioners have 6 triple combination Mack-Interna- tiona1 in mind. This machine will nlain: ->in pressure of 150 pounds, whiC[ is nearly twice the higest pres sure than can be obtained under the best conditions, at present The truck will come complete for S11, 300 and an additional sum of nearly $1 900 will be needed to cover new hose, for ample pressure would no doubt blow present hose equipments to bits. The commissioners are especially in favor of the Mack truck because it will carry all the men that can find room on it. The claim of the Mack people is that it is impossible to overload the machine. If roads and bridges will carry the load, so will the apparatus.
 Sentiment, as well as surface t'n- timent can be judged, seems a tat deal more in favor of this special t.lx than for the charity which was voted down about two weeks ago. Many people who are in no immediate need and obliviouS to the needs of others, do see the fire peril from personal ob- seryation, and the peril being much closer home, may vote for this meas. ure.
 However, as one prominent Strat- ford official said at the meeting of the Fire and Finance boards Tuesday evening, "Some people in Stratford would vote down tax to give away $5 gold pieces for dollar bills" Realiz- ing this, every effort is being made to reach voters and it is urged that property owners who believe Strat- ford should be put on an even footing with progressive cities and towns of the state must not pass the buck to the neighbors, but get out 10 the meeting and get out early.
