FUEL SUPPLIES.

In the city of New York the health de partment enforces requirements regard ing heat, landlords being obliged to fur nish heat between certain dates. As a warning to realty owners that they may have no excuse to offer for lack of coal next fall and. winter the health commits sfoner of the metropolis is advising them to get their coal and get it in now. That advice was freely given during the war but there seems to be no reason why it should not be just as good now as then Many refrained from filling their bins last spring because they locked for a drop in the price. Inste,d of 7. de- crease there was a substantial increase and coal went to record bre .king ugures and many lost no opportunity in chiding themselves for the increased sum they had to pay for fuel.
 In issuing his warning the commits sioner points out that coal at the mines is selling at the lowest price it has for year, but he lays stress upon the inn portance of having the coal distribution take place throughout the year instead of waiting until cold weather before un- dertaking to have the supply put in and then encountering all sorts of obstacles including all sorts of uncertainty re- garding the price.
 The importance of keeping the coal moving from the time it leaves the mines 1 until it is gotten into the cellars of the consumers instead of piled up in stor-
 age cannot be overemphasized Those who have profited by having their supply put in early, both as to price and con-
 venience, cannot fail to be impressed by
 the advisability of making the most ot
 thes mild weather months for the trans portation of fuel and the carting of it Unfortunately those who can least af ford to pay the top notch price for coa are invariably the ones who have to d. it, partially because they neglect to ge
 1t in. partly because they cannot ,affort
 to go to such heavy expense at one tim
 and in some instances because they lacl
 tho accommodations.
 Nevertheless there are many who cal help themselves greatly and give 4 greater degree of certainty to the coa dealers hy ruttir~ ir tAeir coad order and filling their bins at the easiest tim in the year for getting such work don't

BETTING FORTH OUR POSITION.

Clear. straightforward and to the point is the note which has been ad- dressed by Secretary Hughes to the al lied nations concerning the interest of the United States in the mandated Ger man territory taken over as the result of the war. This country contributed it's part ir bringing about the victory and it has been plainly set forth that t ex- poctz its rights to be respected.
 The allies attention has been called ko the facs that the United States has Interests whkch have not been signed zwzy. that it has not conferred upon the league of nations any author ty to Rce For it, that the allies cannoc djsre- gard American interests, regardless of what use we want to make Of them, and uat snssmuch as this country still holds to those rights the allies or the league have no right to attempt to act for ii pr anticipate it's decision.
 In his note Secretary Hughes strongly presents the ground upon whlck the claims of this country are based, directs s.tentipn to the fact that rights have never been ceded by treaty and point. ous that in spite of such this countr. has been discriminated against in the Me Eopotamian case and the mandate of YaI assigned to Japan without giving thi country an opportunity to be heard ant in spite of the emphatic declaration o President Wilson that he opposed tn designation of Japan as mandatory fo Nap.
 It is not that this country seeks t acquire territory as the result of tn 3 war bur 1t does not like the way il which its interests have been disregard nd and trampled upon. Hence comes tn claims by the new administration fol loving along the line of those which tn last administration put forth as a pro lection of this country's position.
 The point raised is that justice fa not been done but that this country ex pec9s that 1t will be done, and certainI there is set forth in the notes good an sufficient reason why it should be don,

IN THE DAYS NEWS
RUSSIAN OIL FIELDS.

While the United States and Mexico are forging ahead. in the production of petroleum, feverishly developing their discovered fields and tapping new ones." says a bulletin issued by. the National Geographic Society, '-the Russian fields, where some geologists believe are sit uated the worlds most extensive oil re- sources, are to a considerable extent marking time because of disturbed con- ditions resulting from the World war. Although the Mexican oil fields are more spectacular, and though those of the United States are now yielding in the ag- gregate much more oil. the Russian fields, especially those % ar Baku on the shores of the Caspian Sea, have long been very near the front in world inter- est.
 "The oil territory about Baku is not like that in our own lnid-continent fields where grain grew in a rich surface soil, and where there were no indications to | tell the laymAn that far below the sur face were pools of liquid gold. The oil l bearing strata reach the surface,- or l 'out-crop,' over considerable area in | the nefghborhood of Baku; and the oil and gas escaping at the surface, have made their presence known for ages. l There are no indications that in re- | mote times either the oil or gas was put | 10 much pracllcal use as modern people
 understand that term, but there Is little
 doubt that priests of the fire worshipine cult which fourished in old Persia made
 8 good thing out of the phenomena. No far from Baku are the ruins of temple of the cult which is believed to have
 been in existence for more than 250t years, Tower beacons and altars art provided with channels concealed in thu masonry, which demonstrate that gas fitting is not a craft of modern birth These channels led from Assures in tn, earth which once furnished natural gas To this, temple came pilgrims from al iparts of the east as late as the eighties of the last century. Beside the wall of the temple today stands modern re tfnery, furnishing an emphatic contras
 in the old and new uses of natures gif
 of oil and gas.
 "Appreciable production of petroleum
 began in Russia in 1863, four years af
 ter the first oil well was brought in ol Oil Creek in Pennsylvania. The first yea
 Russia turned out little less than fl,
 900 barrels, while production in tn
 United States was more than 2,5o0,oo

A FoRLoRN HOPE.

In s16te of the fact that he got a cold khOulder and was forced to give up his quest and leave the country, ex-Emperor Charles. if reports are correct, still sEngs to the idea that he may yet ac- eomzoTsh what he failed in this month. He zpparertly holds to the idea that con- aitions are going to grow more favorable and that the people will be ready to E1ssp his hand and welcome him back After a little more experience without kim and his royal retinue
 But in holding to any such idea the gormer emperor pushes aside the known bDposstion of the allies to a resumption sf the throne by him and he also dis counts the ultimatum that was sent to Hungary by the 'little entente" to the kfect that Charles could not return tc nre throne. Thus with the allies, the f the people themselves opposed to the Reinforcement of Charles the chances lre at the lowest and the outlook most tubious for the former monarch.

It is just a year ago now that was sailing home from France. What a de- lightful voyage it was As look back upon it I feel that might more prop erly say that WAS dancing my way back from France, for we had g splendid band which played, for us several times a day. and we danced on both decks It was Ithat suggested to my blinkies that we dance with the enlisted men during the afternoon concert, and such was the force of good example that we soon had a large proportion of the welfare girls waltzing and fox trotting with our dear doughboys.s
 "Why, Lucille, where have you been?..' asked Pearl Cransome as I met her in the companionway on the afternoon be- fore the grand officers baTf-which was. to be the croWning feature of our ten days aboard ship. Why weren't you down dancing with the men?"
 On, I had something else to do, and be- sides I.sdon't believe I am needed any more on that dock"
 tsNeededr echoed Pearl. ssOf course you are needed! We, all are.> You sure ly aren't going to desert nowH T feel that have done my bit Pearl, in those hobnailed barrages. Please re- member that it was, I that started the l good work on this boat, and now I think ], I am entitled to rest, for you see l worked so hard all my time in France that I haven't the strength left that some of you girls, have" l "Indeed?" said Pearl. 'teYou look re- markedly fit for an overworked person. Thank you. Pearl" I returned sweet ly. q suppose it is because I keep the right mental poise.'
 "YesT she said, and as we entered ou1 cabin she gasped: Why, what's this?"
 "Just my trunk, Pearl. I went dowr in the hold this afternoon to get somt fresh things, and the steward down there asked. me why I didn't have my trunl brought up. so wouldn't have to go way down in t'O depths of the ship so often 'But, Lucille, there isn't room for oul trunks in this tiny stateroom"

 T don't see how we can ever dress here nows" she said, not answering my question. "We can scarcely turn around with that thing there"
 ''Fll give you and Miss Eolxe the right of way. You two can dress first every time. as I don't care to zise early morn ings, and, now, while you are policing yourselves for the party tonight HI take D little siesta in my bunk. Let's all try to be reasonable and unselfish."
 She made no reply as she began to tidy her hair and pu ton fresh collar and necktie and when Miss Folke came in I pretended to be asleep. for I wished to avoid another unpleasant discussion about my trunk, for feared sh would show as small spirit as Pearl. heard her exclaim when she came in, and also heard Pearl whisper to her, but the only words I caught were something about 1t might lave been expected.
 When I joined the girls at dinner they looked at me in astonishment, as did a good many of the other girls passed as I entered the dining salon. But the peased glances of approval and pleasure l that came from many of the officers 1 compensation for what I can call only 1 glarges from my fellow workers.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
A Suggestion

A Suggestion
 MT. Editor. For the benefit of those who like to see the movies and enjoy the same, let us hope that those who drink a connection cag1ed whisley wih see these few lines and keep away from public places while their breath fairly reeks with the rat gut that they put in side of them. If they want such stuff let them have it. but that is no reason for them to compel others to breathe the same air.
 Saturday evening a couple came into the Breed and the man sat next to me with the result that I got the full benefit of his rotten so-called whiskey-smelling breath.
 Nothing is so disgusting as person who will drink the present day booze and then place himself in close contact with people who have. only disgust for such people and spoil the enjoyment for all within range of his contemptible smelling breath.
 It is the peoples right to enjoy what they pay for without having it spoiled by the smell of a sewer. EAST SIDE Norwich. April 4, 1921.

EEsPEc4No STATES CONDITION.

As otfzer reports are made it will be possible to tell whether the judicary com mittee of the general assembly has de terrnined to treat all the petitions for increases in salaries alike, but there are reasons to believe that it will meet with general approval if 1t has and if it takes the same view that it did in reporting unfavorably the increase in salary for the supreme court reporter and an as- sistant.
 The explanation to the effect that such an increase could not be afforded by the state settles the matter, and certainly with all the reasons that are existing for the keeping down of expenditures and the widespread movement that is under way for the cutting down of appropria- tons that would increase taxation, fl would certainly be folly to indulge in a general boosting of salaries of well paid officials. To trim closely in one direc- ton and spend freely in another, es. pecia1ly when such an expense as salaries means permanently, is not in keeping with the policy of economy and efficiency claled for and needed in Connecticut.
 With readjustments taking place 1T other directions, with the cost of living coming down, with wage reductions be in gaccepted or insisted upon and country wide effort being made to ge back from that point to which expendi lures were boosted during the period O the war it is certainly not the time tt | indulge in the raising of salaries. Ina popular reason of rising living costs an, war conditions has passed. The judic iary committee has recognized 1t in on case and it seems probable that the fac that wage increase cannot be afforde in one case will be good and suficien ground for a similar decision in the oth CTS. Certainly it Is sound reason, full
 in keeping with the financial condition of the state and there is no reason to be I'eve that the appropriations cornmitte
 or the legislature is going to make fes

The Reason

Little Joe was at grandmotherfs house for dinner. Although fried chicken and many other mighty good things were on the table Joe did not care to eat much Then grandmother began to coax him One thing after another she brought to his notice. Finally she said: Here's my home made sugar cookies. Aren't you going to try some of them, dear?'
 Little Joe attempted to, smile, That's what is the matter" he explained. "I tried too many of them before dinner, grandma" I . Methods in His Madness
