BUILDING ACTIVITY.

I< is natural that April and May should show the greatest total in the amount of building permits issued. Where signs of prosperity are plenti- full as they were last Spring, those planning to build would begin early. It was to be expected, also, that the builders were all busy in June, July and August, carrying on the work begun or planned In the early months of the Spring. The natural result was falling off in new permits.
 The especially satisfactory factor in the building situation is that there . should be a sudden jump in the per- mits issued in September, making that value second only to the month of May and reaffirming the confidence as reflected in the amount of building planned early in the spring. Tn other words things look just as good this fall as they did in the spring-pos- sibly better because there is lacking, now, the incentive of the inspiration of spring to induce people to plan to build
 The summary of the figures for building here in the last six months, the total being well over s2,0oo,000 augurs well for the future of the city.

AS THE SOUTH AFFECTS US,

Roger Babson discusses the condi- tions in the South in his last letter. 4 superficial view of conditions there may fail to indicate their effect upon the North, as, as first sight, the expected reduction of the South's cotton crop would seem to be an unmitigated evil for that part of the country. Such is not the case how ever.
 The bol-weevil is to blame for the fact that the cotton crop will be greatly reduced until science controls it. But the South must live, hence it is turning to other means of pro- ducing wealth It is becoming a corn and stock raising country, furnishing, in prospect. a competitor for the Middle West. The South, having less cotton to harvest, will have much unemployed labor. It can use this labor economically in manufacturing the cotton it produces into finished products. The northern mills are facing the possibility Of labor short age. The mbination of facts makes the South competitor for the cotton mills of the Eastern states.

BABIES AND POLITICS

Women out in Utah-and the men, tion of Utah" for some reason al- ways reminds of women-are going to check their babies while they at tend to their political affairs They have elected an official baby tender
 How the od-fashioned, who believe
 Woman's place is the home" and who disapprove thoroughly of the modern idea that women have brains and ought to be allowed to use them for the benefit of the world ,-how they will cry out against the prac- tice and cry out that women in poli- tics will destroy the home; that ba - bies are becoming nothing more than chattels; that a generation will grow up ignorant of mother love, home ties and all the rest of it. Then the modernist will come back with the declaration that enlightened Russia reels quite as the women of Utah who plan to check their babies feel. They work in Russia, it is said, and have others attend to their offspring. The modernist will cite philosophers who never had any children of their own. who declare that thinkers, men and women, should not be handica pped Tn their greater work Of mental de- velopment by crying babies paying about their mental heels. Some ad- vanced thinkers declare that the time will come when there will be a com munity nursery which will take care Of all the babies most of the time. Then, they say, will come the world 8 highest development.
 Possibly, possibly, But there are q few fairly intelligent men and wom- en living today who have done quite a bit for the world and who have been inspired always by the ideals they imbibed in chiIdhood-in baby hood, perhaps-and they were not checked babies"

A CALL TO ACTION.

Evidence that Connecticut is awak- ening to its possibilities Is found in the announcement that hotel interests in the state have called meeting at Waterbury at which preliminary steps will be taken 10 educate tourists to the scenic splendors of this common wealth. At last, it seems, California and Florida are to have real compe- tition.
 This is step too long delayed. For natural beauty Connecticut bows to none. It is a land of scenic sur prises which has never invited tour ists to enjoy it's aluring charms. It's light has been hidden under a bushel: now the bushel is about to be removed.
 Magnificent panoramas stretch out to please the visitor along our shore. The tang of the salt air, the pleasing vistas of Long Island Sound, the happy summer communities, all offer an inducement to strangers to spend few days with us in the summer. In the uplands, the scenic grandeur baffles the tongue of those who would describe it. Magnificent estates dot the countryside. Splashing rivers ha hhln tbeir fp lou etr t,l, es, Like grim sentinels taking toll of the passing Of time, the Berkshres
 Poets have sung long and loud of the delights of Southern cooking and Western hospitality. Connecticut combines both good cooking and welcome that is sincere. The faded palate finds new life and new delights in our appetite building ozone the memories of Yankee hospitality finger.
 For years we have stood diefidently aside while other states beckoned to tie touflst' NOW that We are about to assert ourselves through the action Of the Waterbury conference, this railing Is to be remedied. To praise Connecticut's natural beauty is to give voice to simple truth the existence of which we have recognized but which has been accepted and promptly forgotten. More power to the pen that brings it to light and tells others about if.

SWEDEN REWARDS
 LUCKY FISHERMEN
Prizes Are Given for Good HaulS
 to Stimulate Industry

Gothenburg, Sweden, Oct. 30.-- Sweden is making a determined ef- fort to stimulate the deep sea fishing industry of the West Coast, and at the same time to increase the na- ional consumption of fish throughout the country. The state and local au- thorities are helping and encouraging fishermen in the purchasing of new boats and fishing tackle, and they are constructing up-to-date fishing ports. The government fisheries board is extending It's research work on the habits of the fish and the whereabouts of the largest schools. A campaign to stimulate the public demand for fish as a more impor tant part of the daily fare has been inaugurated, and certain newspapers are calling attention to the exploita- tion of fishermen by the middlemen The latter are taking large profits the ajority of which should go into the pockets of the fishermen, or be shared by the public in lower prices
 An interesting feature of this drive is the revival by the government of a custom nearly one hundred years old of granting prizes to the mackerel fishermen Of the West Coast for the best mackerel caught, sorted and packed for export
 Swedish fishermen take pride in their profession and they have long been grumbling over the fact that their mackerel has been sold and shipped to America through middle men in other countries. They have received reports that mackerel of in- ferior grades has been mixed in with these shipments.
 In order to eliminate this cause Of complaint, and to assure better quail ity and direct shipment with the vir- tual elimination of middlemen's prof it's. cooperative association has been formed backed by the govern or of the Gothenburg Province, Os- car von Sydow; the Swedish Consult General in New York. Olof H. Lamm, and others. The system, of govern ment inspection has been perfected inspectors being detailed to the sev- eral points where mackerel is packed tor the American market. These men will see to it that mackerel of the highest grade only goes to the United States

NATIONALITY OF SHIPS.

u,are Hands latest opinion ho'o- ing that American ships are parts VI American territory wherever they are ,s good law and common sense. mat the embarrassing part of It. lhe "e- c,sion says correctly that on Amer'cah .h,ns tbe laws of the United states must be observed. AS the laws ol 'h' Tinted States forbid the sale oi ,,,uo, the sale of liquor of American sbins must be prohibited, fortu- nataly for law observance, at least' ho ,ora,pn country into whose waters American ships sail has a Ia" com nelline everyone within its boundarles .o ar,,l. ,iouor, Considerable diffi- cultv would arise if France TOT instance. had a law which declared that every person within French terri torv must take a night-cap of ver- mouth before retiring,
 Should ship from this country sa'i into French waters, and should the neonle on that ship refuse to take that night-cap they would be violating the French law. But the people on that shin could not get the vermouth II they did, and if they should dr1nK It, .bev vonld be violating the laws of J-u;.,d Ct,+oc
 It happens that the case is reversed, If an American ship is part or the territory of the United States vher- ever it is, and if the laws of the United States rule that territory cer- tainly France has the right 10 declare that a French ship is French terri tory wherever it is and the laws ot France shall prevail upon it. True, Judge Hand has left the matter ot the laws of Belgium open until the decision is affirmed or reversed by the United States Supreme Court, but if that court affirms Judge Hands rul- ing the irritating situation would arise that the laws of other countries would have to be consulted before the laws of this land which would not be antagonistic to other nations laws, could be written on our statute books.
 But it does not need this reduction of the argument to the absurd to show the necessity of modification of the Volstead act at least as far as the territory of ships in certain par ticuars is concerned.

JAPAN CONTINUES
 ITS EXTRAVAGANCE
Nation Is Apparently Still Dream.
 ing Of the War Boom r

Osaka, Japan. Oct. 3o.-The con- sumption of sake. Japan's national and potent drink, increased from 1, 1 266.354 koku in 1914 to 6.7S2,l78 fin 1919 and cigarettes from 7,6S7.174,460 to- IT, 995, ,000,0o in the same period. These fiesres were quoted by Dr. Rem taro Mizuno, minister of Home Af- fairs, as evidence of the growing ex- travagance Of the people of Japan.
 Japan is still suffering from the high prices of the war period,' tre minister said. "T'he causes may be attributed to the continued extrava- gance Of the nation, which is appnr- ently still dreaming of the war boom l art also to increased purchasing I power But the increasing purchts- | ing power of the Japanese people is Hacking soundness. The urgent nced of today is to break through the pre- vailng extravagant habits by the pro- motion of economy.
 "The export and import trade Fof Japan in pre-war days stood in the neighborhood of 1861 100000 yen, which increased to 272,ooo,ooo yen ] in 1919, while the excess of exports over imports during this period amounted to 1.4oD. 100000 yen. Tine specie also showed most remarkable increase This state of affairs is re- sponsible for the present luxurious habits Of the Japanese people. But the foreign trade Of the country has since the restoration of peace. been suffering a severe adverse balance the excess of Imports over exports reach ing 3S7, ,0oonno yen in fa2n, 3s1 ,o00,- O0O yen in 1921 and as much as 36s,- ooo.oao yen during the first half of this year alone"
 Dr. Mizuno also spoke of the ex- cessive prices charged for entertain ments. Entertainers, to hear whom not more than 1 yen would be charged In America, get 10 ven to 20 yen for seats in Tokio and the houses are al- ways crowded. The government, he said. had adopted measures for the reduction of prices but they had not been altogether successful. .

COMMUNICATED.
Compliments Mayor on Coal Situation


 october 27, 1922. Editor New Britain Herald.-
 The writer has followed with keen Interest the controversy appearing of late In your columns concerning our local hard coal situation and I desire to take this means of ccnsratulating his honor the Mayor for his dctermin- ed stand in this matter. I feel in a position to do this by reason of the fact that I am neither associated politically. religiously nor socially with his Honor, in fact only know him by sight. therefore TNcannot be accused in any way endeavoring to promote his political ambitions. After reading the two letters in your issue of October 26th l am convinced that it was not the pressure Of business so much as the desire for time in which to frame a reply that caused our local coal administrator to put off until the fol- lowing week Surely If the admnis- trator has made the careful study of the local situation that he claims he should have been able to answer the mayors questions immediately or at least in the time involved in making his evasive reply.
 It is interesting to note that New Britain coal dealers stand practically alone in New England in safeguard ing the interests of the citizens by buying bootleg coal; and my heart goes out to the poor people of Hart ford, Bridgeport, New Haven and the surrounding communities whose coal dealers have not been foresighred enough to ally themselves with the coal boot-leggers.
 It was my good fortune to talk re- gently with a prominent retail coal dealer from Troy, N. r., who advised me that the price of anthracite coal in that city at this time is twenty-five cents less per ton than before the strike owing to the reduced freight rates with a resultant price Of s1S.s5 per net ton.
 Another item that I would like to be enlightened on is whether the twenty cars of moderate priced coal which the coal administrator admits has found its way into New Britain has been sold at 8 figure commensu rate with its purchase price or wheth- CT it was found necessary to bunch this in with the other varieties.
 And now if I am permitted to make suggestion it will be that what New Britain really wants is a few inde- pendent coal dealers who are able to stand on their own hind legs and sell coal at a fair profit to themselves irrespective to the dictates of any coal dealers association or bination of dealers
 When this is accomplished you will find that controversy such as has been prevalent during the past few weeks will die a natural death.

HARDINGs SEND VOTES

Marietta, O., Oct. 3o.--There was a futter of excitement in the office of the local election board and it was all caused by the arrival of a letter from the White House. :,
 The excitement did not last long when it was discovered that the let ter contained the votes of President and Mrs. Harding and Secretary Christian. The letter was intended for election officials at Marion, not Mari etta, and the letter was re-sealed and hurried off to its proper destination.
