coNNror1crrs CHANcEs.

For a long time efforts have been made to arouse 8 greater interest in for estry for the purpose of meeting thet demands and at the same time making better use of available land. That 1t has served to awaken some to the op- portunities is evidenced by reforestation efforts but when forestry experts in the state point to the fact that Connecticut gpends s5,OoO.oo0 a year freight on lumber that is shipped into the state from the Pacific and southern states they furnish another view of the matter which lis bound to get consideration.
 It is with lumber the same as It IS with foodstuffs Connecticut doesn't be- gin to supply the needs of it's people This Is not rated as an agricultural state but Connecticut comes far from ap- preaching the point where it can be said that it makes full use of the acreage that could be devoted to the raising oi crops whether those crops involve food stuffs fruit or lumber.
 While Connecticut is spending three million on freight for lumber it is spend ing s1so ,00e ,oo0 out of the state. foI food and the regrettable thing is that i: l Is going backward agriculturally. While the state may not be able to raise all tha tit needs 1t certainly can do much better than 1t is doing. There is enough idle land for producing more food, more sheep, more pork and more lumber. Il | is even maintained that if it's resources were properly developed that the statt could supply It's lumber needs in tAt next half century
 It is unfortunate that greater efKort' are not made to utilize the idle acre. which are now producing little or notA ing. There Is certainly need for tht calling of attention to these matters ana 1 the presentation of facts and figures fol the disclosure of the existing situation
 Perhaps it is to be expected that oui greatest development must be expected
 in industrial undertakings but there fl reason why efforts in other direction
 should be making progress instead o going backward. Every improvement Ii
 agriculture and reforestation will no
 only benefit those involved but the en tire state

LIaUaR sMHGGLINa.

However lax they may have been in the past and whatever may he given as the reason therefore, it is plainly evil dent that the authorities of this country need to put forth their best efforts in putting a stop to the apparently well organized and highly profitable business of rum smuggling.
 Much has been said of late about strange craft off the coast, the strange ness being due to actions under cover of darkness, the lack of the required nuno- Der of lights and the refusal to apsvsr signals. Everyone knows with tbs prices that are being demanded for li- quor today that a cargo of rum st.ceess- tully landed means mint of money. There was reason why the captain of the jennie T should be offered $50 day and more if the trip was a success Tba cargo of liquor which 1t carried womb have been disposed of at such a fe7,re that handsome profit would have been netted.
 The seizure of that cargo, ship and autos along with those engaged in nov ing the cargo has, however. confirmed what was reported and believed. that there was much liquor being brought in- to the country along the Atlantic coast and of course Lighthouse Point isn't the only place where it has been landed.
 Whether that seizure, which of course was nothing that had been planned by the authorities in advance, was necessary In order to bring the necessary amount of sttenion to the rum running ruuors matters little. Having been shown what was going on it is Of course expected that determined efforts should be made 10 put a stop to It. Hunting smug Elers calls for vigilance and the ef torts must be extended over a wide area but the law that exists must be upheld.
 Checking the flooding of the country with liquor at the source is where tn, best results are likSly to be obtained That is preferable to waiting until tbt distributions are attempted threugheut Inc country after being landed, and 2 few eases of prosecution with an appli cation of penalties that are intended f, discourage others from engaging in tn, same business should have a beneficial effect. It is well to let it be knowr that smuggling Of liquor will not b, winked at.

THE SHEPPARD BILL.

The passage in the upper house of con- gress of the Sheppard bill that provides for the cooperation between the federal and state governments for the protec- ton of maternity and infancy marks a decided step ahead for that measure especially since 1t received but seven votes in opposition. The bill carries an appropriation of a million and a half and will require that the state appro- pr1ate an amount corresponding to what will be allotted to them.
 The bill has received considerable on- position, not for the end that it is sought 10 obtain but fer the manner in which it is intended to employ the governments rSachinery. It has been believed bv many, and the sentiment voiced by thos. who were not found among the oppo- nents of the bin when the vote WAS taken that 1t was a service that should be up- dertaken by the states rather than by the federal government, and that it was pa- tsTnalistio and socialistic. Such oppo- nents have declared that there was nc limit to which the federal government would not be asked to go if legislation along this line yas to bs encouraged.

WHAT TEXAS NEEDS.

It is a bit interesting that those who have been engaged in the business of tarr1ng and feathering those who have not been conducting themselves as 1t was believed that they should have ere ated a sentiment that is considering the petiuoning of the Texas legislature for a law dealing with~such acts. It cannot be believed that Texas hasn't sufficient laws at the present time for dealing with just such cases if it really desires to. It will certainly be a strange situa- ten if it hasn't even though tarring and feathering as such may not be speci- scally mentioned.
 But why should the people of Texas be SO greatly wrought up over une ap- plcation of tar and feathers, bad as that application is, when they make no move to check that much worse practice of lynching. It is not to be supposed that tarring and feathering is to be ap- proved but it is 1certanly much milder than the taking of life by masked bands whether such cases Involve shooting, hanging or burning at the stake.
 If Texas is aroused over this latest epidemic of lswlessness 1t should go the whole distance and have a houseclean- mg. Whether 1t is lynching or tar and feathers it indicates an unwillingness to abide by the existing laws and an effort on the part of a certain number to set up mob rule. They undertake to impose their control upon the community or state and even though that represents a deliberate violation of the law there is no serious effort made to punish them.
 While Texans may get bit excited over the tarring and feathering cases ii must be regarded as the logical out growth of that much worse practice oi Intentionally taking life as punishment tor an alleged crime without waiting fol the facts to be established or permit ting the law to take it's course. The new legislation is not likely to amount (, much if 1t gets no more respect than f. accorded to that which now adorns it statute books Texas needs more of tha sentiment that calls for new laws in tn enforcement of existing laws than it doe new legislation

The hope of peace in Ireland at the moment is certainly stronger than it has been for many a long day. The three uncertain factors are the real temper ana intentions of the British government, Of Sim Fein. and of Ulster. With regard to the last two 1t is possible at least to hope.

CLUBBING THE HEADLIGHTS.

AlthSugh 1t has experienced so many automobile accidents that the motor ve- hicle commissioner has called for a bet ter enforcement of the laws, Massachu- sets has been a long time recognizing the importance of correcting the danger to highway travel that is involved in the slaring headlights. In this respect Massachusetts is considerably behind its neighbors and the law which has been adopted, and which goes into effect the middle of next month, shows that it has been impressed by the course followed In Connecticut and other states. On the roads of Connecticut there will be found a marked difference in head | lights. There are those that are ex- ceedingly strong, those that are mild and those that are dim but the instances are few where the dazzling headlights i that used to make 1t impossible for the driver of the car going in the opposite direction to see through the glare and be sure that he was guiding his car in safe path arc decidedly less nuner- ous.
 Special lenses, properly pitched lights and shades which defect the light to the roadbed are required by the state laws and are solving the bad headlight problem There are still bright lights due to the higher candle power bulbs used but even with these strong lights there is not that glare that formerly ex isted and it Is possible to see past most of the headlights.
 An occasional car from state wher' there is no headlight regulation quickly shows the difference Massachusetts fl joining other states for the ending O this danger will find that it will not d' away with its long list of auto accidentI but 1t will nevertheless be preventiv' measure that is bound to serve the need of increase1 safety and reform tha will be greatly welcomed by all users 0 the highway It will likewise mean tn placing of the southern New Englant i states upon a uniform basis, which il view of the travel through and into ad joining states will decrease the dif1cul ties

horses met him as he approached the city and galloped back to spread the news of the coming of this true son of liberty The republican newspapers not only took the side of Genet against the govern ment, but they also attacked the char acter of Washington most virulently.
 The F'renchman's gold flowed freely in all channels where 1t could breed cerTua- tfon. Disgusted annoyed and alarmed at the marplot's power for mischief, Wash ington at length determined to rid the eountray of his presence. To this end he succeeded in obtaining from his cae- inet an assent to his wish for Genet's recall.
 The main charge made by Washington against tie French ambassador was that he had overstepped the bounds of public deceney. He had seen the Little Sarah, a captured British merchantmen nbw changed to French privateer, down the Delaware and out to sea against the pro- test of Governor Miain and Secretary of State Jefferson. He had threatened to appeal from the president to the people. He had eFejected an invasion of Florida from South Carolina and Georgia, and a movement against New England from Kentucky.
 Genet had written a dietaterial letter to Washington and had received a cold reply from Jefferson to the effect that it was not customary for Ar foreign diplomat to have correspondence with the presi- dent and that tae proper channel through which such notes should pass was the secretary of state
 These were some of the things in the conspiracy daarges against Genet, and when presented to the French govern ment they ordered lhds recall in January 17S4. His successor, M. Faucheut arrived in Philadelphia in February 17S4. When Genet took his departure from office he received congratulations, addresses ot sympathy and othr marks of respect fFem numerous public societies and in- dividuals. The opposition" even regard ed him as martyr to the cause of lib. erty.
 Many of those who had at first fayoref his principles and his projects becam, disgusted at his course. The "Whiske, instruction" which Washington wa called upon to suppress during the latte part of the year 17s4 was one of th, legitimate results of Genet's machina tions. The dismissed minister never re turned to France. for the Girondist mart, that had sent him lost control of tn, government and he feared the guilIotin, should he return. He became an Ameri can citizen, married daughter of Gov
 eFnor Clinton, and settled on the Hudson became scientific farmer, and aiet there in 1884.

READ YOUR CHARACTER By Digby Phillips.
 Copyrighted 1921
 The Roman" Nose.

Such historical characters as Caesar Napoleon. Washington, Sherman. Dewey, Lee, Lincoln and Grant had Roman" noses. Does not that give you a clue te those traits of character which this fea- ture indicates?
 This shape of nose indicates a great many things, but if you ask what the outstanding message of it is, it's dornina- tion. It indicates in addition to such qualities as physical energy, courage. power, persistence. impatience and az gressiyeness. It is, in short, the signal of virtually all those qualities of tenn peFament and character that men look for in their leaders.
 Of course, mans success as A leader depends upon great many other things than this tendency or desire to dominate. The Roman" nose indicates only the will OF tendency to leadership and 2 linn ited number of qualifications. In judg- ing the man you must modify or amend the story of his Roman" noce according to other characteristics.
 In previous articles it has been stated that blue and gray eyes indicate the pioneer spirit, quick thought and a de- gree of imaatsenee, while brown eyes are signals of conservatism, mental intensi- ty, patience and strong emotion.
 mus, 1T your Reman-nosed" leader has the former. he is likely to be such by virtue of his quick thought, his readiness to grasp the feeting moment of oppor. tunity and impatieHee of opposition. But if he has brown eyes. you read in the first place that he is not so impatient after all and that he holds his foliewins through his care and sound judgment in dealing with it, through his anpeaI tc human nature and emotions and through larger degree of patience in surmeunt, ing his obstacles.

opD INCIDENTS IN AMERICAN
 HISTORY
CONSISTENCY OF "cITLzEN'' GENET

CONSPlRACI OE 'GlIJAER OEAEH Probably the most disappointed man who ever came to out country from a foreign state with 8 minister's credentials was Edmond Charles Genet who was the first minister of the new French Republic to the United States, sent here in 17eS. 1 He bore no title, for titles had been abol- isaed in his country, but came simply as Citizen Genet. Probably much of his in- discretion upon his arrival in this country may be credited to his youth and | nexperience, for he was only twenty eight years at the time.
 The country, when he arrived, had not forgotten the great debt of gratitude they l owed to France for her assistance in i the Revolution, go baat when Citizen Genet arrived in Charleston in April, 1793, his overland journey was one unbroken ovation. He took it all as a matter Of course and even )entertaiped the idea that he weald experience little trouble | in having America declare war against ] his eeuntry's enemies
 When Genet reached Philadelphia, how ever, he underwent his AFst shock in his first interview with the president. Wash tngton was most cordial in his reception and expressed in the warmest terms the feeling of the American people for l France.
 But Genet had barely reached Charles ton before he began fitting out priva- teers, and he not only commissioned American citizens, but at once authorized French consuls throughout the United States to constitute themselves court l of admiralty for adjHdieating upon such prizes as French cruisers might bring into American ports
 It was very evident that the Franch convention had proceeded with singular 1 indifference to American rights and to | clothe taeir representative with extra ordinary powers. When it was announc- ed to him that Washington had declared l its neutrality, he declared that the presi- dent was exceeding his power.
 The strange feature of the period was 1 BAat much of his audaeity was appiauded. When he reached Philadelphia, where the Igevernment was then assembled, he rs- ctived a great ovation. Men on fas.

 Two small girls were busily engaged with doll house work. one of them hav- ing four dolls, and the other, a guest of the little mother of four dolls, having only two. Various details of rearing g doll family were being discussed and things were going tremendously until the owner of the four dolls began to take on airs over her possessions.
 She began by saving that anyone with two dolls didn't have any idea of the work it took to keep four dolls clothed and cared for. The other .ot assented. rather grudgingly. The matron of four then advanced from being merely pa- tron:zing to brsgging about her family and making remarks which made their owner feel more and more uncomfortable. Finally the worm turned.
 The mother of two turned on her tor mentor and with her pudgy little nose turned up disdainfully. 'I don't care how many you have" and said wrathfuily, "I don't want any more. l wouldn't have any more for large families went out of style long ago"
