Storms That Cost Millions.

Public service corporations IN New
England mus spend millions of dol
lars to repair the damage tsat was
done by the storm which began on Sat.
urday night last. 1t was visitation
of character that necessarily means
widespread destruction TO pole lines
and wires, and also to the trees. Did
this type of disturbance come as fire.
ouently as do snowstorms,si is OBJ
yious that overhead structures for the
transmission of the electric current
would have to be abandoned. 1t Is
plain, also, that few among the trees
would survive.
All the present time, when our streets
have been strewn with the limbs OF
shade trees and in thousands OF in
stances their beauty is gone beyond
hope of restoration. it is small comfort
to be reminded that many years may
pass before there il repetition OF the
disaster. Nor does it lessen regret for
our own loss to learn that few days
before this section of the country was
swept by the storm, there was even
greater damage wrought on the Paeinc
coast. but that appears to have been
the fact.
The Pacific coast storm, which began
lust a week before the beginning of the
storm in New England, was especially

severe in Oregon and Washington. 1t
not only caused the breaking down of
trees, and of telephone and telegraph
poles, under the weight of ice, but 1t
brought other troubles in its train.
Rivers rose to freshets pitch. Large
tracts of land were inundated, and in
many cases families were rescued from
their homes with difficulty. While in
some places the precipitation came in
the form of sleet and rain, in Others
there was a fall of snow so heavy
that the drifts were many feet in
depth, bringing railway trains TO
standstill and keeping them and their
passengers imprisoned for many weary
hours.
In New England there is mourning
for the shade trees. In Oregon and
Washington orchardists face conditions
that mean long continued loss of reye-
nue. If not actual ruin. One OF the
dispatches makes reference to a peach
orchard in which every tree was brok-
en- short off. and those far-spresding
western orchards number many trees.
Mention is also made of localities in
which the damage TO the orchards was
greater than that caused by the storm
OF 1916. evidently a storm heretofore
regarded as a record breaker in its de-
structiveness.

Newspapers from India show that
much interest has been aroused by the
visit Of Pussyfoot johnson. The people
are eager to hear of the progress OF
prohibition in America, and are en-
couraging the visitor to believe tnat
India may also become dry.
Mr.. johnson has been courteonsiy re-
ceiyed by the resident Enghshmen.
They have taken occasion 70 hockie
him in a good natured way over the
objects OF his visit and the stories they
have heard Of the failure of the dry
cause in the United States. Mr.. john
son has an arsenal of facts to disproye
all Of the fantastic stories that have
iloated through the channels ofthe IL
auor trade around the world One OF
these is that the consumption ofsnarcot
les has trcbled under prohibition afiad
that the cutting off Of liquor has had
a serious effect upon the public health.
These stories are completely refuted by
official statistics as well as by the we'll
authenticated observations OF we'll
posted and disinterested men through
out the country.
Thirsty Englishmen residing in In
dia express some petulance over Mr.
,Johnson's visit because they have a
real fear that his agitation may result
in success. They know that among GER
tain Hindus and among practically all
Mohammedans the use of liquor is now
prohibited by custom and religious
faith. That is to say, very strong
prohibition element already exists in
India. Add to it only a comparatively
small section Of the remaining popula-
ton and the whole country will become
as arid as the United States. Nebraska

The Burrs and Their Newspaper.


The death Of Willis o. Burr, editor
of The Hartford Times, which occurred
early Sunday morning, removes the
oldest editor of daily paper in the
state. In fact, Mr.. Burr was probably
one of the oldest active newspaper
hands in the country. He had been
in the daily newspaper game all his
life. Before his father, the late Alfred
Il. Burr, died, he decided to his son,
Willis o. Burr, The Times property
and from that time, back in the late
nineties. he had been the head and
chief owner of the paper.
Few, outside the newspaper PROBES
sion, realize the extent Of the infiu-
ence exerted By the personality OF MI.
Burr through The Hartford Times. A
man OF frail physique, well past mid
die age when the responsibility OF
ownership and management came TO
him. Mr.. Burr widened the circulation
and influence Of the paper many fold
and built up its physical property I'M
til IL has become one OF the finest
newspaper plants in New England.
III II true that Mr.. Burr had a con-
tinually widening circle OF competent
assistants and much of the papers ex-
pansion has been due to their ability
and efforts. But Mr.. Burr was the
piyot around which the organization
has reyolved. II was he who selected
his assistants; ii was he who hnaliy
passed on all questions OF business de-
vclopment; il was he who shaped the
news and editorial policies of the pa
per. He saw the papers circulation
grow from less than ten thousand a
dav 70 nearly fifty thousand and its
Size expand from four page blanket
sheet to twenty and thirty a
day.
Mr.. Burr lived with his newspaper.
He took little part in public or social
life. and his circle Of acquaintance was
comparatively limited. The highest Of
fees in the gift Of his party were prof
fered to him, but he declined them,
believing that he could be OF greater
service to the state by producing a
rood newspaper. Mr.. Burr was modest
almost to the point Of difiidence. Last
winter when The Times entertained
the newspaper publishers Of southern
New England at the opening Of its new
building, Mr.. Burr was the least con-
spicuons, individual in the company.
He kept in the background and let his
subordinates do the honors.
Those who had the pleasure OF per-
sonal acquaintance with Mr.. Burr
found him always kindly and helpful:
He died in the harness at the age OF
rs. His life of toll brought him large
fortune. But somehow we have the
impression that it was not a fortune
for which he strove so much as the
good win of the public; that he priced
his opportunity for doing good more
than that for making money Since
the death OF his beloved daughter sew.
eral years ago he had no offspring. and
his paper must now pass out OF ms
family. The Times establishment VIII

Two Hundred Children Given "New

York public schools who fail TO be pro-
NOTED each wear. 10000 have defective
eyesieht. $4,000 are suffering the hui
initiation of being 'left-backs' simply
because they are desperately in need OF
glasses.
The Junior Red Cross has established
a $1,000 fund to aid parents in buying
glasses for their children. Already 200
children have been given new eyes,
according TO a report issued by To-
cal chapter Of the Red Cross. The fund
is self sustaining, in that the children
pay back the cost of their glasses on
the installment plan.
Every child who evidently does not
see well and every child viii is cross
eyed, should be examined at three or
four years Of age. Every child is enti-
tied TO an examination Of the eyes be-
fore beginning school work, no matter
what the age. The vision should be
tested every year, whether glasses are
worn OF not, in order TO discover any
defects that may be developing or any
increase in defects known to exist.
Few Of Us care TO keep our eyes
closed. Dragging them is merely, tenn
porary relief. Blurred glasses are only
'sblinders.- There is only one way by
which defective eyes can be kept open

Don't use drugs such as belladonna
