I. Mstsken Identity Case"
 A case of mistaken identity oecu. pied the attention, in part. of the city court Monday morning. George A Conley of New Haven. an automobile mechanic. was accused cf operating a motor vehicle recklessly and with no, stopping after an accident. The com. plainant in the case was John P. liar rington of Stafford Springs. Conley was discharged

 Cenley testified that he did not visit Putnam on Labor Day. 4 time card of the Holeomb Garage in New Haven, where he worked. showed that he had labored all Sunday night, leaving the garage on Monday morning al 7.30 O. clock. His landlady told the court that Gonley went Co bed when he ar rived home and did not get up that forenoon. An affidavit from the assist ant prosecuting attorney of the New Haven city court praised the good character of the defendant and that the court official knew of his own knowledge that Conley's ear was in the garage all day Monday.
 The court was convinced that the registration number of the car that had forced the Harrington machine off the road had been wrongly set down and that 1t was not Conley's car al all. The judge therefore nolled the case against Conley.

Another prominent mil man in Putnam who entered the textile indus try as an operator and who attended the evening classes al the Trade school stated that his progress from min op- orator to superintendent was due in 8 considerable degree to the training he received at the school.
 The High school cooperative course as outlined in the textile department is splendid institution for com munity SO largely made up of textile industries. It offers young men an opportunity 10 receive a general ed ucation and a knowledge of the tex tile business. after completion of which he can go into the mill and ac- auire knowledge of the actual mill or eanization without leaving his own home town.
 It seems a loss to Putnam when it Is necessary for cotton manufacturers to % out of town for their fxers, sec ond hands. department overseers and assistant superintendents This in many cases is true. when we might be helping to develop men m our school system to fill these positions.
 Field oHer. Big Opportunities As an industry the textile Is second in size in the United States At the same time there IS no industry in the country where men with general training are so scarce. This field IS not overcrowded and is the logical place for young man to look for an opportunity 10 advance.
 It is true as expressed hy cotton manufacturers generally that no grad uate of a textile school can go from the school and take position as over seer upon graduation. for Il IS neces- sary that he learn first hand the char acter of mill organization and general mill methods and the kind of men he will work with as an overseer or su- perintendent But it Is equally true as stated by textile authorities that his advancement is reasonably certain ar ter he has acquired this general break ing into the business.
 The textile industry being so close to us. we are prone to overlook it, but upon analysis shows possibilities that do not seem to be offered in many other eallings.
 The successful oversoer is well naid position. which always offers chances for advancement Co the higher textile positions such as assistant su- perintendent and superintendent.

Trade School Textile Course
 ApprOUed by Mill ErecutiUeS
STATE INSTITUTION HERE IS GIVING SPECIAL ATTEN TON THIS YEAR TO EXTENDING AND BETTER
 ING COTTON MANUFACTURING COURSE
Director Ellis Points Out It. Advantages and the oppoune
 the Textile Field Offers

With the object in view of a larger service to the community, especial at tention is being given this year to the cotton manufacturing course at the Trade school, according to Director H H. Ellis Discussing the course and the textile field in general, Mir. Ellis says
 Owing to the fact that cotton man ufaeturing is a highly specialized in dustry, the large majority of those en- gagged in t are highly skilled operat- ors in one or two operations. but who have little technical training or knowl- edge of the general principles involv- ed in the industry as a whole.
 The textile industry. unlike many other well defined eallings. has no definite method of educating and de- veloping executives within the organ ization. as there is little or no appren- ticeship system such as is found in the metal and building trades. Mill exec utives are therefore finding 1t ex- tremely difficult to secure men with a broader textile training capable of taking charge of departments and who are able to see the requirements of their department in relation to the whole plan in cotton manufacture.
 Mill Men Endor.e Course
 The textile cotton course as outlin- ed at the Trade school has been talked over with mill men in this section and they have expressed their approval of the theory and practice of the work as laid down in the Trade school course.
 In investigating the possibilities of the textile business and talking with a number of prominent textile mill men in and around Putnam. one sue cessful mill superintendent gave his experience in learning cotton manu featuring and said t took him Is years of constant changing from one job to another in order to fl him 10 become capable overseer or super intendent He also stated that in large part this general knowledge could be obtained by attending the Trade school textile course.
 More especially is this true of the High school cooperative course, for general education is very helpful and necessary as a basis on which to build successful career as a textile man who means to become something more than a skilled operator.

A Little Break in the Drought

Yesterdays light rain broke a local
drought of record duration, lasting
from the 18th Of September. After a
season of exceptionally heavy precipi-
tation this part of the country suffered
from a lack of moisture Of unprece.

of September 2 Washington was visit
falling within eight hours. the heaviest
fall for that period of time ever
known in the District. That was
really the last rain Of any conse.
Guence, that which fell on the 18th
being comparatively slight
One consequence of the protracted
dry spell has been the failure of the
foliage. Leaves have fallen from the
trees long in advance of the frost. and
as a result there will probably be little
hrilliance. this autumn. But that is a
slight matter compared with the effect
of the dry spell upon plants. Water
= courses. too. have been greatly re.
duced in volume, and serious cundi.
tions have been reported from differ.
ent parts of the eastern section.
This present rain has thus far been
very light. and is far from really re-
lieving the drought to any practical
degree. 1t will take a rainfall Of many
f.. inches to restore the soil moisture
. that has been evaporated by weeks OF
unbroken sunshine.

Politics at Home
Leader and Boss.

In speaking Of Gov. Miiler's per.
formance at Albany and his own at
Syracuse, Charles r. Murphy is quoted
as saying to some friends: He is
called a leader. while I am called a
boss"
This complaint was, Of course, part.
ly 'jocose, bot it serves well to point
out the difference between the two
men, and how accurately the public
has appraised and characterized them.
At Albany was a student Of govern
ment, In ONCE through no schemins
or desire Of his own, and with no In.
tense desire to remain in office. But
being in off1cs. and pursuing definite
course, he was explaining to his party
the importance Of that course and
exacting a pledge as to its continu-
ance. There was a leader, and there
leadership. and his party was mighty
wise to heed and follow him.
At Syracuse was a student OF party
organization, and particularly how to
keep q turbulent organization in leash
and usefulness. He was less concerned
about measures than about men. His
problem was Smith or Hearst. Which
man as candidate for governor would
enable him to get the boys" in con-
quering numbers to the polls on elec-
ton day? In his mind he tipped a
coin, and 1t fell for Smith. There was
a boss, and there q display of boss

security. Trash has been left in the
wake of foresters, millions Of tons of
dead trees and limbs strewn about to
be ignited from careless campers
fires or from the sparks Of railroad
locomotives, often from matches
thoughtlessly thrown aside by woods
men. One Of the most important les
sons of proper forest care has never
been fully learned, which is that the
living trees are menaced by the debris
from their fallen fellows.
These fires in the north country
sweep with appalling swiftness and
fury over wide areas. During the sum-
mer large territory in northeastern
Minnesota and northern Michigan was
burned over and many lives were lost
and much property was destroyed. In
that case the fire originated in a small
blaze that could easily have been
checked if the country had not been
exceptionally dry through lack OF
rain. AS soon as the fire got into the
underbrush it developed into de-
vouring volume that ragged beyond
control over many miles.
Fire-Prevention week in the United
States mas just been observed, mainly
in the cities. There is really as great
need Of the application Of prevention
principles in the wider spaces Of tim
bered lands. During recent years the
American forestry service has been
making some headway against the
carelessness that has threatened the
forests of this country with utter de-
struction, but there is much ground
yet to cover in this vitality important
work Perhaps the Canadian expert
ence will aid as terrible warning.

Bryan and McAdoo.

Among. the guests at the wedding
anniversary Of Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan
celebrated at Los Angeles the other
day was former Secretary McAdoo
The two probably found time for q
word or so about old days-and yet
not so old-at the cabinet table.
1t was,an odd arrangement that
brought them together there. New
York was still the enemy's country

accept him as a presidential candi
date.

Of an administration which New York
had helped bring into being, with

the principal cabinet figure next to
himself.
Mr.. Wilson in choosing his advisers
could not well have left Mr.. Bryan
out. The Nebraskan had been most
serviceable at the nominating conven.
ton, and, later, in the campaign for
election.
And Mr.. Bryan. chosen, could not
decline. What he had helped TO create
he must help to start and to sustain.
Mr.. McAdoo's presence was even
more in the nature Of things. He had
been most serviceable to Mr.. Wilson.
too, and. as New Yorker, was most
acceptable. of course, to New York as
the Presidents financial adviser.
Mr.. Bryan did not tar1-y long. Just
why, is not known and may never be.
His departure remains a fruitful
source Of guessing. Mr.. McAdoo re.
mained beyond the four years. and
made considerable reputation in his
place.
Since then Mr.. Bryan has changed
from a westerner to southerner; Mr..
McAdoo from a easterner to a west
erner. Mr.. Bryan is still in the pic
ture when the presidency is under dis
cussion, and Mr.. McAdoo most decid-
edly so. AS the two men are chummy

Forest Fire Losses.

Immense losses by forest flres have

million dollars. Hundreds OF farms

towns have been destroyed. Heavy
losses of life have occurred. A vast
area has been swept by the flames and

"At q time when recent victories IN

armistice, after the victories OF
