STREAM POLLUTION.

For years efforts have been made to place a check upon the pollution of the rivers and streams of the state and to perfect a plan where 1t will in time be done away with. Thus far little prog ress has been made. Commissions have gotten away with their appropriations, have found the necessity for stopping the dumping of refuse and poisons into the rivers and recommended steps that Ihould be taken but that is as far as we nave gotten
 Considering the amount of material that is poured into the rivers 1t is not surprising that fishing has been practi- ally eliminated and the owners of oyster jeds find their business being gradually ruined. What is true in Connecticut Is the same in other states
 That 1t is a big problem cannot be questioned. The practice is one that has long been established and the longer q goes to more difficult and more expen. si7s it is going to be to end 1t. Thus il anything is going to be done the earlier l. can be undertaken the less will be thc expense
 Not only are the industries which art located along the rivers and streams di rectly concerned but so are the citie. whose sewage systems empty therein. The opposition to the checking of thu practice bases it's chief objection on tn, tremendous expense that would be in volved in comparison to the benefits tha would be gained. Nevertheless as eacl community develops the pollution bound to increase. Some advantag would be gained if some progress coult be made in reducing the practice. Con ditions made it advisable for the lat general assembly to refuse an appropria ton of s5o.ooo for a stream pollution commission but by naming a commission that win serve without pay all efforts i the interests of purifying the stream win not be abandoned, and considernt what has been accomplished in the pas t seems likely that the unpaid conmis sfoa will produce quite as effective re suits ss those that have been gettin large appropriations.

CIRCULATING AVIATION.

While conditions have developed which plainly show the need of establishing laws. regarding the construction of air. planes in order to serve the ends of safe ty and to prevent much of the loss of life that can be attributed to unwise construction, 1t Is likewise evident that the time is not so far off when attention must be devoted to the perfection of laws that will govern those who navi- gate the air.
 Until flying machines were developed there was no other thought than that the air was free. Even with the prog ress that has been made in aviation there is no reason to regard 1t otherwise but there have been many ways in which the importance of establishing restric- tions has been emphasized. It Is real ized that those who go up must como down. If they descend in the places intended for such there Is no objection to be raised. The trouble comes when they crash through skyhghts. puncturt roofs,- tear up somebody's tobacco oI wheat field and endanger the lives ot others, as well as menace property. There are cities and states, few 1T | number though at the present time which have undertaken to restrict tht flying machines by fixing their responsl bility and liability under the law. Ther are cities which have ordered that ma chimes must not fly over 1t. the idea be l ing to prevent the crashing of a plan where the lives of many people would b endangered. and for their protection countries are restricting the aviators o one country flying over another withou a permit.
 Laws concerning the navigation of the air aside from the operation of tn machines are bound to come as the mum Der of fiers increases. They will de velop just the same as other laws hay with amendments and additions as condi tions change. Realization of the fac that laying out rules for the air is much different proposition than establish ing traffic regulations in the streets an makes it certain that there will be man complicated and perplexfng problems deal with. Plainly it Is a case wher federal action will be necessitated.

 While efforts have been concentrated on these btlls the reduction of expendi- lures has been getting attention else where but in view of all the appeals that are being made for it by adrninis- tration leaders there appears to be a big opportunity for further accomplishment before the job can be considered com pleted.

ttJohn, dear" began the bride with the bobbed hair. 'T got the best bar gain today; you'd never guess in the it seems just a tremendous saving"
 John looked up from his salad with an almost hopeless air. He had come home on other evenings to hear simi- lar tales of marvellous bargains, and he had looked hopefully at her over the salad only to be disappointed when the facts were disclosed.
 'Why, darling, don't you want to know what bough?" went on the bob bed haired bride. What is tho incen- tive for his little girl to save, if he doesn't even care what 1t is?"
 "IS it another hatF He tried to stimulate interest.
 She shook her head. T really don't need another hat"
 That's something" he offered. What did you say?" she asked. Nothing" he said reaching for the dressing. What did you buy?"
 "Guess!" ordered the bobbed haired bride.
 How can guess when don't know what you spent?" he countered witt an attempt at gayety hat he did no feel"
 i Well it wasn't much at all, consid. ering what got. And it's something I never had before in my hwole life It gives one the incest feeling"
 The newly married man smothereC a groan.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
The Hillside on Laurel Hill.

MT. Editor: After reading Uncle Jeds Talk to the Wide-Awalzeg in Thursdays Bulletin, it gives me courage to write you a few lines regarding the condition of the side hill on Laurel Hill avenue, which I have noticed for some time has been used as dumping ground for all sorts of refuse. especially grass cut from lawns, which is just thrown over the fence, and very soon dries up, and is very unsightly. If the advice Uncle Jed gives to the Wide-Awakes is needed by the grown ups, and old papers, boxes and grass is put into the ash cans, the result will be a far more attractive hillside Hoping word to the wise will be sufficient. Thanks for your courtesy.
