ELECTRIC HORSE.

Many people who live in Lynn, are
proudly writing their friends that
Americas first electric street car was
put into operation 33 years ago last
month. This is an honor frequently
conceded to Lynn by electrical maya
zines.
The only fly in the ointment is that
Richmond, Va, beat Lynn to it by
eight months. The electric street
car system of Richmond, first in the
United States, began operation in
February, 1883.
It's a good deal like the steam
engine. James Watt, Scotchman,
born in 1876, is honored popularity as
it's inventor. Yet the turbine steam
engine was described more than 1000
years ago by Hero, of Alexander,
Egypt, in his book, "Pneumatica."
Possibly some one had steam en-
CINE 1000 years before that.
Man progresses so slowly, one gen.
Grafton improving another's devices,
that it is next to impossible to trace
anything to its real original source"
Electric street cars are so common
today that it seems almost impos-
sible that they did not exist until
Lynn and Richmond introduced them
33 years ago. 1t is so with most of
the wonderful devices that are so
commonplace in our everyday lives.
We celebrate an invention like the
street car. But those who think that
the American tendency to congest in
cities is a peril have much on their
side uyhan thew arpI1e that the street
car is the ally of congestion.
The city, however, is not a lasting
phenomenon. In time, all cities will
stop growing. An age of villages
will follow, with factories in the
open country. The value of electric
transportation will be even greater
then than it is now.
1t is only by adequate transporta-
ton, such as that afforded by the
electric car running on tracks, that
a population living in the country
could keep its economic machine
functioning.
First, man walked on his own legs.
Then he was carried on litter borne
by slaves. Next he tanned the wild
horse, camel and elephant. Later
came the invention of the wheel,
which led to the introduction of
animal-drawn vehicles.
Many can recall the old-time street
cars drawn by horses.
Thirty-three years ago, when the
electric street car was made practic-
able, the age of electricity really
began.-Editorial, Lynn Telegram

September, 7, 1921.
Mr.. F. c. Ayres,
Government Director of Savings,
262 Federal Building,
Boston 8, Mass. .- 81,
My dear Mr.. Ayres:
/ note your letter of August 30 in
which you speak of sending out cir
cular letters during the month with
regard to thrift and the purchase of
thrift stamps.
/ sincerely hope that the important
practice and instruction of thrift which
was so well incorporated during the
war may not lapse in the coming
years. We have certainly had album
dant proof of the need of thrift and
savings in the last twelve months, and
l am thoroughly convinced that steady
and well directed instruction concern
ing thrift should be a regular part OF
our school work.
You may quote me as strongly en-
dorsing the continuance of thrift in
struction and practice.
Very sincerely yours,
C. H. DEMPSEY,
Commissioner of Education.

The Savings Division, First Federal
Reserve District has sent out, through
F. c. Ayres, Government Director, a
request that the teachers of the ele-
mentary, grammar and High schools
give particular attention to education
in Thrift and Saving and investment
in Government Savings securities.
Under the leadership of Mrs. Geo
H. Smile, of Montpelier, a great deal
of organization work was accom-
plished last year throughout the state,
and the response to Mr.. Ayres' request
has been most encouraging. Unusual
interest has been shown among the
schools of the state and requests for
Happy Jack material, such as books,
cards. buttons and thrift chests, have
been received from over thirty of the
principle educational centres. Many
OF the schools are carrying on this
instruction without the advantage of
any special material furnished by the
Government. Mr.. Ayres wants the
teachers Of the state to realize that
the Savings Division, with headquar-
tiers at Boston, Is prepared to send
free of charge any of the above ma
terial which will have a tendency to
increase the interest of the pupil.
The postmasters of every commu-
nifty can give detailed information re-
garding this work, and will be only
too happy to give the educational au-
thorities personal assistance.

BY PANAMA FOREIGN OFFICE COLBY PLAN IS REJECTED

PANAMA, March 1O-Officials of the foreign office of the Panama government announce that notes have been received from former Secretary of State Colby and from the new secretary, Charles Hughes, dealing with the Panama Costa Ri can.
 Replying to the Colby note, the foreign office says that it apparently implies the acceptance by Panama, of the boundary decision of Justice White, as preliminary to the final agreement with Costa Rica. Should such condition be essential to United States mediation, the note said, such mediation would be a moral, legal and constitutional impossibility.

GOVERNOR RIGGS MAKES PLEA FOR UNITED
GOVERNOR URGES ALASKANS
 TO BURY POLITICAL RATCHET I

JUNEAU, March 10-Governor Thos. Riggs, in his message to the territorial legislature. pleads for the cessation of political anu factional fighting in the territory, and for unity of effort to secure the enac.- ment of helpful legislation for tie territory, "that representatives of states having power over the terri tory may sec that the people of Alaska may safely be entrusted with increased powers of government rightfully theirs"
 The message points out that the mining industry is beginning to re- vive; oil land activity is increasing; the pulp industry has started and the future along those lines looms encouragingly.
 The fisheries are becoming depict ed, and only about fifty per cent of the 1918 salmon pack is expected this year and only slight increase in 1922.
 Lumber production decreased last year and generally speaking, 1921 will be the low valley of the past feuryeers.
 It is estimated that the revenues for this year will be considerably under those of last year.
 The governor sees no need for any great amount of legislation during the present session of the legislature, and suggests a "very small tax" on all ores other than gold, with a graduated tax on gold ores. He does not favor a general property tax on real and personal property, and recommends reduc- tion of the tax on meal oil manu- factured from herring. "The great est care must be exercised" the message says, ito avoid overtaxa- tion of individuals or industry"
 The governor recommends a simple budget system and the consolidation of various boards and commissions under one general board; the repeal of the primary election law; suspen- sion, at least temporarily, of the eagle bounty law; passage of model bills for validation by Congress, on the game, fisheries and shipping questions.
