The talk until a part of the converse
ton reached her ears. Through the
noise of the car she heard-"in an aw-
full fix with both legs disiointed."
The woman was impressed with the
tale of suffering and while she was con-
sidering it another bit of the converse
ton was waited to her ears over the
roar Of the wheels-"and one foot near
ly off"
This was positively distressing, and
the woman moved unecsily in her seat,
stretching both feet to assure herself
that they were in proper condition.
Buzz, buzz went the voices, and then
"a hand all mashed"
BY this time the woman was having

Prospects in the Welsh coal Industry
are brighter than they have been for
long time. A month ago the Bombay
and Baroda Railway gave out contracts
for 10000 tons. 1t has now asked for
10000 tons of I&-ge steam coal to be
delivered over the next five months.
There is now on the point of being set

with various European buyers. notably
in Greece, Holland and Belgium.

ARTIFICIAL CHRISTMAS TREES.

When the New York State College Of
Forestry makes the recommendation
that there should be artificial substitutes
for the Christmas tree adopted 1t is only
to be expected that there will be quick
and strong opposition from those who.
depend upon the Christmas tree business
to give them appreciate help in meet
ing yearly expenses.
The suggestion OF the New York col
lege is made with the idea that Il there
was not such a large number of Christ
mas trees cut every year there would
be an appreciate increase in woodland
and a valuable addition to the timber
supply. That there is need of such is
indicated by the conditions prevailing
and the failure to replace the woodlands
a s they are cut over, but it is a CUES
ton whether the use Of artificial Christ
mas trees would do much in the way Of
solving the problem.
That. there is good reason for urging
that there should be care to guard
against the great waste that has taken
place in connection with the Christmas
tree business some years Is recognized.
but Christmas trees would not meet the
nations wood requirements Christmas
| trees, even though there are millions cat
every year can be raised on land that
would grow little else and inasmuch as
there is a demand for them there is NJ
| reason why a crop Of such should not
be made ready for the market each year
! as of any other product of the sail It
will certainly not impress the Christmas
| tree growers that they ought to abandon
| a business that nets them good results.
| If It Is believed that there ought tc
be more trees Of the type Of the Christ
mas trees. It would be we'll that the New
! York college should start a campo igr
! for more trees of that character In order
| that the demand for the Christmas tres
| trade would not make serious inroads
| into the available supply. Likewise ar
! increased interest IN raising trees 70,
| this trade would leave a larger number
Of them for maturity. and those WI
want tha trees and those who seek the
revenue would not be disappointed II
substitute can be devised that will at
| tract the trade because Of beauty or fir
protection well and good but the rea
| article seems destined to figure nromi
! nently in Christmas Festivities for
considerable time yet.

Mr.. Editor: A communication to The
bulletin one day last week reported a
meeting of the Council of Jewish Wo-
men and that music and dancing were
enjoyed throughout the afternoon. The
writer did not say where their meeting
and dancing was held. 1t was In the
Congregational church of Pozrah A re-
quest was made TO use our church for
a place of meeting for the Jewish wo-

ing a treaty with the Kemalist Turks
Good reason is there for feeling that
all the civilized world ought to have Its
attention called 10 the danger which con-
tinues to threaten all Christians in Asia
Minor and Armenia, people to whom pro-
lection was promised by the allied coun-
tries but under which protection a mil
lion lives have been taken and there is
no evidence of an inclination on the part
of the murderers to stop.

Profoundly Interesting.

Mr.. Editor: As an observer 1 would
say that The Birth of Christ pageant
given at the Central Baptist church on
Sunday evening last. by amateurs, was
profoundly interesting. Absolute quiet
was noticed during the rendition Of
same, and Norwich has just reason for
being glad that the beautiful story was
so well portrayed in every respect, and
also that a general invitation made it
possible for each and all to see the work
accomplished by those who essayed the
several different characters. Especially
fine was the singing Of the choir in the
distance, nor did any part suffer by COM
parison with another.
Sincerely,
OBSERVER.

TARIFF LEGISLATION.

In his last message to congress Pres
ident Harding pointed out the danger of
making our tariffs prohibitive and urged
a fexibility to meet conditions SO likely
to change. He believed that a long step
would be taken toward stability il there
were recognized the fitness of the tariff
commission to recommend urgent
changes by proclamation.
For the purpose of putting the presi-
dents ideas into effect bill has been
introduced by Senator Smoot 1t has re-
ceived support and opposition. Theirs
are those who feel that nothing but the
highest tariff ought to be considered, but
the president has emphasized the need OF
avoiding legislation that would make
tariff provisions that would be prohibi-
tive
1t is apparently one of the matters
that Is bound to come in for no small
amount of consideration in connection
with tariff legislation. The purpose of
the tariff must be to give the needed pro-
lection and to prevent serious damage
to the industrial activities and therefore
to the people Of the country in general
Tariff legislation at 3 time like this can
hardly be expected to be of a perman ent
character The endeavor must be made
to meet conditions while they are under
! going steady changes. and as the pres.-
! ident declared IF our tariffs are to be
r1ade equitable and not necessarily bur
den our imports and hinder our trade
abroad, frequent adjustment will be nee
| essary for years to come
The flexible tariff would be new an
| IS suggested with the view to meeting
unusual conditions. The merit Of tn,
plan should get the consideration t,
which it is entitled. There is large re
| sponsibility in tariff legislsti at Thu
| time.
