There will be three or five represen-

This means probably two out of

icans.

Lodge and Wickersham are men
toned as possibilities for the third
republican place. Hitchcock and
Crane are picked for democratic
choices in the order named. AS far
as the republicans are concerned it
seems that there might be other
choices Hughes is certain because
of his position as Secretary of State,
and Root, an ex-secretary OF state,

eral confidence in his ability. AS for

Taft, whose attitude has not been so
startling and so self conferred during
the few years since the war.
| The conference will excite many
ancient antipathies, it is bound to.
Things will be stirred up that existed
long before the war, and let US hope
! amicably settled. There is no danger
of another war developing from the
conference, but there is danger of
the injection of things that have
ranked and died out into the inter
national scheme. Diplomacy is used
to considering these matters and
every nation awaits a decision, favor
able, if possible, of the disarmament
question. Diplomacy will do it's best
to make the way clear.

conference to be called by President
Harding to consider limitation OF ar

THEN AND NOW.
In former days, the old time bard
Leaned his Tyre good and hard
And fashioned fervent flights
Of fancy through the wondrous ways
That lead to dreams. He stfummed his lays
To ladies and to knights.
The old time bard, he did all this,
Or strung a sonnet to a kiss,
rOndeau to pear
He swept the chords both night and day
And rounded many roundelay
That stood beyond compare
For all of which they paid him, dead,
wreath of roses his head.
Here nowadays, the benzine bards
Who ply their trade with books and cards
Are not like those gone by.
They live not in attic home
And scribble there beneath it's dome
Such that will not diel
The modern bard, he sleeps, instead
On trundle cot, downy bed
And eats three meals a day.
His domici1e, mansion grand
Is big enough to house a band
Or stage Grecian Play.
The u.s. when he indites
He always sells the movie" rights.

Peary's chief lieutenant on the lat
ter's successful dash to the North
Pole in 1909. He has made eight
voyages into the Arctic regions. Ac-
cording to MacMillan's plans, he in
tends to reach Baffin Land about
August 15 and establish a camp south
OF the entrance to the dangerous Fury
and Hecla strait, where the ships of
Captains Parry and Lyon, seekers of
the Northwest passage, were blocked
century ago.. The location is 16O
miles north of the Arctic Circle ans.
700 miles south of Etah, Greenland.
1t is not far from the point where
MacMillan's Croker Land expedition
passed the four winters of 1913-14-15
and Is. On that occasion the expedi-
ton was once reported lost and two
relief expeditions were sent out for
it but Macmillan finally returned He
announced that Croker Land was not
land" as believed possible by Peary,
but an ice mirage.
During the winter of 1922. at
tempts will be made to explore the
coast of Baff1n Land and the fol-
lowing summer an effort will be made
to penetrate the interior where, ac-
cording to Eskimo tales, there exists
one of the richest and most alluring
fields of research in the frozen north.
The island is said to have great min
eral deposits and to possess high
mountains and beautiful lakes which
have never been seen by white men.
The region is believed to be an
imm ense breeding ground fors water
fowl, whose nesting habits will be
the subject of study, while the pro-
gram of the scientists of the expedi-
ton also calls for field work in
zoology, botany, geology, meteorology
and terrestrial magnetism. Special OBJ
servations will be taken of the mag
netic pole which was located first
by James Ross in 1880 on the fur
Their side of the Boothia peninsula,
not far from MacMillans proposed
winter camp.
An attempt will also be made to
circumnavigate Baf1in Land. In the
event of serious mishap to the Bow
doin, the party plans to retreat by
dog sledge to Fort Churchill, trading
post at the foot of Hudson Bay, and
thence return to civilization by way
of northwestern Canada.
Macmillan was born in Provinceton,
Mass, Nov. 10, 1874, the son of
Cape Cod sea captain. He was grad

and took up postgraduate work at
Harvard in 1902. Before becom-
ing an explorer he was teacher and

THE DISARMAMENT DELEGATES

The conference on disarmament,
called by President Harding and ac-
cepted by the nations invited, should
assemble in the United States
gathering of delegates the calibre of
which has seldom been seen and
which was only surpassed to a small
degree by the attendants at the con-
ference when the Treaty of Versailles
was formed. AS far as the United
States is concerned, the most scintil-
latiRg aggregation of diplomats that
has ever been within our confines
will gather. The smaller countries
will take no active part in the pro-
ceedings The character of their
work, however, insures that the most
accomplished statesmen will be sent
1t is said that no person who was
directly connected with the Versailles
conference will take part. This is a
natural political move. 1t is rather

THE TARIFF.

When is protection protection, and
how much protection on what ar
ticles is needed, is question which
Congress is having hard time to
decide just now, and which has
created a legislative turmoil that is
scarcely to be ignored by the Ameri-
can public.
The farmer of the Middle West has
asked for protection on hides and |
meats. Result, when he gets it, a !
higher price for leather, which taxes
him when he pays for shoes He
does not get enough for hides to pay
the difference. The oil manufac-
turers ask that oil be taxed, and the
manufacturer Of other products who
has also asked for protection on his
stuff, claims that he should get oil
cheaper, without the protection as
| this would lower his production cost
In the South they want high tariff
on cotton and sugar. The cotton
/ oOoAo IiuldCtuISI WISHES no pro-
| lection as he would get his raw
product cheaper, but does not want
his manufactured article subject to
the inroads that might be offered by
| foreign competition on free entry"
market.
Thus it goes, until the question
4 VIII 10 +
come SO great that it is Overwhelming.
Providing that we allow high tariff
upon every article, SO high a tariff
1 that foreign goods may not possibly
enter our field, there is no way for
European nations to pay off their
bills to us. They cannot trade, ex-
cept among themselves, and when
one cannot trade one cannot pay.
Germany has thown all of her re-
sources into manufacturing. Labor
!, ers are working for next to nothing
Artisans are doing likewise. She
has been stripped of her army and
her navy, she has no expensive main
tenance bill for these defensive and
aggressive arms of the government
She finds it comparatively cheaper to
live, and much cheaper to manufac-
ture. Should she garner and corner
Providing that she could manufac-
ture everything that we require and
:. dump it in here cheaper than our
manufacturers could possibly make
it, she would give US cheap market,
but she would also drive out of bust
ness our manufacturers, who employ
our labor. Then we should have no
:, work and she would have it all. That
: is not equitable, hence there is q
q reason for a tariff But-shou1d we
a put such a tariff on articles that we
d higher price than things are worth
II and market our surplus abroad, un-
/ derselling our home price? Should
IS we penalize our labor, also our con
d sumner, by great tariff? Certainly
l. not. Should we put such tariff
It upon articles that England, for in.
IS stance, could not sell anything here
IS and thus pay off her tremendous wal
o obligation? Not at present at any
J. rate. Should we create a vast area
ir of exploitation for certain manufac
st turers by building an impenetrabl'
t. wall of high tariff about the country
rs No, it is not fair to the consumer

A POUND A DAY.

"A fOOND n DAl.
AS the average man or woman
passes along the street, and the av-
erage individual is given to taking
note of the people and things, he
passes, the sight of a ragged, dirty,
but happy, youngster of tender years
elicits a smile from the obses~~r. An
nndernourished child, with enough
clothes and clean face perhaps out
with the strain Of some trouble snow
ring plainly upon its physique and with
"a slightly emaciated body, brings
forth a pang of regret that SUCH
should be, that children should be
forced through lack of proper at.
tcntion to be unhealthy. Concrete eV-
idence of unhappiness, which in chill
dren means lack of care, brings to the
elders who usually have a sense Of
responsibility towards the immature
generation a sense of loss, such Is
one of the happy vagaries of our in
herited temperaments. Unfortunate
ly. the mass is unresponsive to suffer
ing unless it is brought directly to
attention Obliviousness to that which
is not brought into immediate contact
Is another feature Of the national
temperament.
But the record Of achievement OF
one enterprising young miss of the
city who attended the Fresh Air
camp for sixteen days and gained
sixteen pounds, as published in the
Herald Saturday evening, brought
forth an amused smile, not because
she did something funny but because
she satisfies an ambition of the old
er xeneration-to see the health and
happiness of childhood iMprove-al-
though it is quite possible that most
of us did not stop to analyze the rea-
con for our smile.
ehe average gain in weight at the
camp for the two weeks that the To-
cal children spent there was Ia
pounds per child, and these pounds
were put upon bodies that weighed
an average of about 65 pounds. All
n loss and but a few remained at the
weight they had taken to the camp.
For the same reason that we enjoy
seeing happy youngster. for the
same reason that we smiled at the
industry of the 16 pound gamer, we
may feel satisfied in the record of the
whole crowd at the camp. They
went, they played, they gained-and
they came back to New Britain much
better QUILTED with this worlds
good, of which weight. providing it is
stion.
The record at the Burlington camp
rmerely goes to prove what may be
done in welfare work by surrounding
those whom we wish to help with tn:
srroper articles of food and a clear
atmosphere. Most of the efforts o
those who would better the race thest
days are directed towards child wei
fare work According to their state
ments, which are more or less obvious
the greatest good may be done thi
way Consequently New Britain
which is supporting the Fresh All
camp. may feel justly proud of tn
sgains at the institution. Translates
Unto dollars and cents we have bought

pounds Of good health, and put tn
weight just where it will do the mos

Taxes, Business and Wages.

Mr. Editor:
l would like few lines in your
paper to discuss this depression that
we are now going through, and I
also think it would be a good thing
to have more people write to your
paper their ideas and it would help
in finding a reason. why it should
last so long.
First, all wages and salaries are
too high; now wages have been cut
and some salaries in the factories, the
average workman getting about $40
a week. Now this is almost back
to pre-War wages.
Rents, one of the main reasons for
the high cost of living. ars. at war
figures. Why? Because every house
owner has had his taxes raised SO
that instead of lowering rents he
should raise them.
Now if the city was only run like
our factories are all working for it
were cut at the same rate the work
ing man has been, then our tax rate
could be lowered and rents would fol
| low.
A teacher now gets about $40 a
week while a married man in the
factory with family gets $50.
Everyone must take his or her
share by cut so that things will
! be equalized.
Now in Washington our represen-
| tatives are looking after the special
interest and the people get no relief
from high taxes 1 imagine Senator
Penrose CT Pennsylvania doing any
thing to bring down the price OF
coal when he is the largest stock
holder in the mines. He is looking
after his own interest not the peoples
and then the people will vote fol
