WE NEED MORE PRACTICAL
 DEALISTS.

Of course architecture as profes- sion, If it is to get anywhere" to use the parlance of the practical man. must be something besides a nice job for a man of taste, interests i1 the arts and a competence We haVe listened in at many conversations in the last four or five years, where the chief argument was that the trou- ble with the architect was that he hid himself behind his more or less artistic office furniture and some prints of famous antique buildings, expecting clients to come in and be thrilled by these evidences of culture. There is a lot of truth in this sort of sarcasm, and sooner or later it sinks in and we hear from it.
 There is always a certain element in an profession who take the pro fession for the guinea stamp, over looking the fact that it isn't the stamp that gives value, but the metal upon which the stamp is put We hear a lot of vague talk about living up to our ideals; but how seldom we come upon a clear ana cOnV1EC- ing statement of the significance of these ideals. What are our ideals? Are they pure distractions, mere states of mind, nothing more than a condition of overwrought sensations, emotions out of which come but a collocation of mere words?
 We are all forced by circumstances to take stock of ourselves now and then. and many of us have seen the light in these late years. and found that if we are to have the confidence of our associates we must manifest our so-called ideals in pretty tangi- ble ways At the recent convention of the American Institute of Archi- tects there was amply shown the new attitude toward the practical aspects of the profession; there was no lack of practical discussion, of practical and invigorating criticism; and, too. there was talk of ideals, and these were practical in that they express ed those qualities of character and moral stamina without which the practical man is usually a failure.

Milford To
 Be Modest

Milford, June 2S-The board of po- nee commissioners are attempting to put into effect through local ordi- nance the legislative power granted to them by the general assembly of regulating attire worn by persons us ing the public streets to and from the bathing beaches.
 The first public hearing held last night on the ordnance brought out protest against it's wording. It pro- Vided that the bathing suit should cover a person ito below the knee" while sad person was on the street. Those who believed this meant a gar ment which reached to the ankle said that such would be injurious to health in that it would overheat a person on the trip to the beach, and would "overheat their temper on the return. Others claimed that thousands of persons would shun the Milford beaches It was also claimed that the ordinance made no distinc- tion between adults and children The critics said they did not like the code of Milford ethics set up-
 The board acceded to requests that the ordinance be rewritten so as to distinctly provide that where the GOV ering of a. person was meant it would not require children at least, to be covered below the knees when they are on the street on their way to the beaches to bathe. The board called another meeting for Wednesday night July 9th

DEPRESSION KEEPS
 POLICEMAN BUSY

Virelh has made such deportations. and in each instance he has re- mained on the boat until the last whistle, to make certain that none of his charges make a break for the shores of the U. s. A, which they are loathe to leave Recently he made trip from Wethersfield and turned over to steamship officials an Italian that was an undesirable, even a seven year stretch at States prison had not wrought reform. It is the opinion of Virelh that many more than are should be returned to the old country. but laws do not cover this matter.
 Often times cases come to light where foreigners have been on these shores for years. and have lived in various parts of the country without having made an effort to become nat uralized or taking their share of the responsibility of citizenship. It seems in such instances rather than being a charge upon some state of the Union, which they do not car to join, they should be shipped back to their native land.
 People in unfortunate circum- stances are noted in almost every na- tionality and race, but at the present time the cases that have come to light in Connecticut run mostly to Polish and Italian. If the parties have lived in Bridgeport for two years, but are not voters, the city takes care of them, and sends a bill to Hartford, which is taken care of by the State for in such instances they are ruled as State, rather than city charges.

Milwaukee, June 28.-A statement that she and her conferees had cured a V1ctom of hysterical blindness by relieving him of his lawful wife and allowing him to remain true to the woman he had welded in bigamy was
 made before the National Social con ference last night by Miss Frances -E.ef+f1hs- member of the New York State Industrial Commission.
 Miss Perkins address, which was greeted by a moments hush, followed by exclaations of surprise, still was a topic of discussion today 'It was ultra modern, to say the least" one of the delegates said.
 t"The man had come before the board seeking industrial compensa- uon," Miss Perkins said. He was blind, yet his eye reflexes were per feet Investigation revea led the vic tim to be suffering from neurosis We suspected some fear was preying on his mind. Questioning brought out the truth.
 'AThe man was living in bigamy with a woman who, by all moral laws was his wife because she loved him and he loved her. The first wife had been unkind and. he had deserted her.

Railway shopmen
 Oppose Reduction
Continued from P-ge One.1

Continued from P~ge One.) Jewell, president of the Railway Elm p1oyes' Department of the American Federation of Labor.
 Labor officials are declared to be doing all they can to prevent a na- tionwide railway wafkout. They fear the disastrous effect it would have upon the country.
 Financially it is pointed out. the railway men are scarcely in readi- ness for a strike. A strike fund of S2O,O00,00O has been accumulated during the last three years by the men but with 100000 men drawing only a weekly benefit of S10 from it the war fund would last only a cou- pie of weeks.
 Should the wage cut be rejected by the workers and their chiefs. both the union leaders and the railways will be armed with powerful weap- ons to be used in further negotia- tions-
 The roads would have the backing of the Board, while the union chiefs would be in a position to flourish the strike club.
 A new development in the situation concerns the possible abrogation of the national working agreement which was to be effective next Friday under the United States Railway Boards decision. Many of the rail- roads will be unable to reach agree
  rules submitted for the national code.
 The Labor Board has itself lacked time to draft a set of rules which it had intended for such lines as found it impossible to reach an agreement with the railway unions.
 A majority of the railroads have either failed in the effort to carry out the boards instructions to get to- gether'' with employees on new work ing agreements, or have not yet com pleted the task. It is reported that few of the railroads have made no effort to meet the employees repre- sentatives on the matter.
 The board immediately got into this phase of the situation. It was considered probable that the board either would direct the national agree ments to continue in force for fixed time or indefinite time beyond July 1, or it could permit the whole mat ter to revert to the status that ob- tained prior to the government con trol of railroads. However, working agreements may take a back seat un- til the railway wage question is set tied.

BIG COAL STRIKE
 HAS BEEN SETTLED

 Premier Lloyd George announced in the House of Commons at 4 o'clock this afternoon that an agreement had been reached between the strikers and the colliery owners and that the men news was received with cheers and the whole country.
 This conference had been arranged by Premier Lloyd George and the government was represented.
 Upward of 100000 men were in volved in the national coal strike. It had precipitated the worst industrial crisis in the history of Great Britain Officials of the Federation of Miners made two attempts to bring about general strike in sympathy with the miners but both failed
 It is estimated that the coal strike cost Great Britain in wages, loss of production and general business stanation at least s2,250, 100000
 Industry has been paralyzed for many weeks and train schedules cur tailed to a minimum There was less suffering than would have resulted if the strike had taken place in the win ter. The country has been going through an unprecedented hot wave when coal was needed only as indus trial fuel.
 Government officials were jubi1ant over the settlement of the coal strike following so closely upon the settle ment of the Textile wage dispute. They declared that the labor atmosphere will clear rapidly and that normal may be expected within a few weeks

It employs in the manufacturing processes 3,0O7 machines, including approximately A, 900 spinning spindles requiring the use of 276,000 quills, 502, 300 spools and 510 jack spools.
 The main Bridgeport plant of the company covers an area of 13.8 acres with a total floor space Of 557,- 496 square feet; while its Darby plant covers an area of l 0 acres with floor space of 360,O00 square feet
 Among the protective features of the new bond issue, it has been agreed that the company shall always main tain net quick assets equal to the amount of bonds outstanding, and total tangible assets of not less than 300 per cent of the bonds outstand- ing. The bonds will have advan- tage of a sinking fund. equivalent to 10 per cent of the net annual earn ings of the company applicable to dividends, with minimum payments to the sinking fund of S150,000 per year which will be sufficient to retire at least e per cent of the issue by maturity. For sinking fund purposes the bonds will be purchased in the open market at the best prices obtain able under 110 but if not obtainable at such price will be drawn by lot for redem ption.
 The price of the bond when offered to the public will probably be at par. although it is possible they may be sold slightly under that price, It is quite possible that several other To- cal firms besides Hincks Bros. & Co.,, will participate in the distributing syndicate.
 These long term bonds, bearing a high rate of interest, are to be used by the company for its corporate pur- poses and the development of it's business. The apparently high rate of per cent on d first mortgage security of undoubted value is due to the prevailing financial conditions of the times
