BUSINESS SKIES TAKE R0SEATE HUES, SAY
 VISITING BANKERS

NEW YORK, Nov. 2.-The bankers of the nation have quit looking at business conditions through smoked glasses and are now viewing the situ- ation with the undimmed vision of optimism.
 This was made evident in converse. tions with scores of bankers, who at tended the recent convention of the American Bankers Association here. The talk of the men of dollars was of distinctly cheerful tone, although few were willing to admit that the sun of prosperity was more than just climbing above the horizon.
 Southern bankers were particularly optimistic. Several of the leading f. nanciers of the scouth expressed the belief that conditions, particularly those that affect the planters of sugar, rice and cotton, were better this year than for several years back. One DdukeT ueCldTeu tlldt LuS pldHlei 5 would be able to repay all of the ad- vances made by banks to finance this years crops and to liquidate a DOT tion of the indebtedness hanging over them from previous less prosperous years.
 Conditions in the Middle West, &C., cording to bankers from that section, are improving, but better prices for wheat, corn and other cereal crops are needed to restore complete prosper ity to the farmers. Prices for cattle, hogs and sheep, they said, are good, and these animals are being marketed at a profit.
 Bankers from the coal producing sections of Pennsylvania declared that the ending of the miners strike had witnessed renewed activity in those districts and conditions rapid ly were approaching normal.

LONDON GROWING DEMOCRATIC AT.
 COFFEE STALLS

LONDON, Nov. 2.---Society is get ting kittenish. Because of restaurant licensing restrictions it Is next to i'm. possible to get anything to eat in Lon, don after midnight unless one wants to eat at a coffee stall" For hun. dreds of years the "coffae stalr' has been an institution of the underworld of London. It is an open-air lunch cart, such as may be found in the side streets of any American city. In Lon, don it has been looked upon as the haunt of petty criminals, outcasts, homeless and night workers Now, however, society has been driven to the coffee stall for a light lunch on the way home from a late party. Fashionable South Kensington was shocked when a coffee stall opened in the Gloucester Road section, in the very heart of prim and prosey London. The shock didn't last long, however, for now the jeweled ladies and the immediately white-shirted gentle men of the district may be seen munching sandwiches and slipping tea while they rub shoulders with taxi drivers and petty thieves. Yes, Lon don is getting kittenish.

NEW AiRpLANE TESTED

LONDON, Nov. 2.--Great claims are made on behalf of several new air planes about to be tested by the Brit ish Air Ministry. Among them is a new type of machine which, it is pre- dicted, will place an entirely new as pect on the aircraft versus battle-ship controversy. It is known as the "Curaboo." Fitted with a very pow erful engine it will have a range, it is said, of over thousand miles when fully loaded with bombs or torpedoes
 This is three-seater machine, and it will be a most effective weapon when operating in large numbers, in repelling not only invading aircraft but sea craft as well.
 When engaged against the latter the new machine, 1t is claimed, will be able to dart down, discharge it's tor pedoes at the enemy vessel and climt out of range of anti-aircraft guns in nc time. Its ability to climb rapidly vii enable it to destroy quickly any Zep pelin that it sights. It is credited with a speed of three miles a minute.
 Great secrecy is being observed about another machine, four-seatel known as the "Bisson," which it is also predicted will do wonders. It has been specially designed for landing on and taking off from the deck of 2 battleship or aircraft carrier.

PLAN INSTRUCTION
 TO PREVENT FIRE

WASHINGTON, Nov. ?. - Wide spread. instruction in fire prevention methods among the general public was the purpose of the converting here of the annual three-day meeting of the Railway Fire Prevention Association.
 In the year 1921, fire in the United States caused property loss of $485,- 100000, killed nearly 15,000 persons and injured more than 16,000 others. Of these casualties, ,83 per cent were suffered by mothers, children and in- valids.
 These figures are published by the Association to show the need of in creased campaigns agains careless ness where fire is possible. Nearly 90 per cent of these losses of life and property are due to carelessness and lack of proper education as to existing hazards, according to the association.
 The meeting was the continuation of Fire Prevention week recently desig- mated by President Harding. The cam paign of the Association this year will be actively supported by various in- surance activities and by the United States Chamber of Commerce and many local chambers. Railroad of ficers and employees have given active cooperation in the observance of Fire Prevention week.

SKILLED WORKERS NEEDED.

Building contracts awarded in the
United States for the first four months
of this year aggregated S99O,OOO,OOO,
practically round billion. Last year
they were only 5000, 900, 900 for the same
period. In 1920 the recorded total was
a little more, but that was year of
many cancellations. The present record
is regarded as the best in the history of
the building industry.
With this building boom started,
there has developed rather suddenly.
within a few weeks. shortage of skilled
labor which interferes with building
progress and prosperity. And thereby
hangs a tale.
As a recognized authority explains it,
this shortage is due to a lack of immi-
grafton. Before the war, he says, the
United States depended mainly on
Europe, with its established system of
apprenticeship and vocational training.
to supply fresh material for the build
ing trades. Hardly any trained me-
chanics have come in since 1914, and
this country itself has not established
any adequate system of training to
maintain the supply. So, with a vast
amount of new construction to be done.
the work must lag for lack of workers.
This situation seems to call for two
things First, modification of the Amer
lean immigration system that will en-
able this country to pick, on the other
side of the Atlantic, the useful immi-
grants it needs and wants, before they
sail. instead of accepting blindIy the I'M

Of Our immigration; second, a compre-
hensive system of vocational training of
our own, to provide recruits for the

WHO PRECEDEs wHOMg

1t is very sad to learn that in Hawaii
major general and a rear admiral are
prevented from going to the same din
ner because there is question as to
which should go first. Each officer in
sists that he should precede the other,
by virtue of his rank, and their respec-
tive departments at Washington have
been unable to decide this momentous
question.
1t might be supposed that Secretary
of War Weeks ought to know, if any
body does, because he is a graduate of
the naval academy, and so is familiar
with both branches Of the service. 1t
might be supposed also that Acting Sec
rotary of the Navy Roosevelt ought to
know, because he has been an officer IN
the army But each of these authori-
ties holds out for the prestige of his own
department. The judge advocates gen
eral of the army and navy respectively
are likewise at odds about it.
Surely this question of precedence can
be settled before it disrupts the govern

official decision from Washington, a
mere civilian would think that the Off
GERS could forget their rank for the
nonce, and pretend that they're just gem

man go first.
And vet that might not solve the prob
lem. The thing might change into an

yermonfs Tuberculosis Institutions
BARRE Times.)


The formal acceptance by the state
of Vermont of the Caverly prevento-
TiUm at Pittsford and the dedication of
the institution to the work of saving
children from tuberculosis mark an i'm
portant step in the progress of the cam
paign toward eliminating tuberculosis
in Vermont. There are now three insti-
buttons, which are devoted exclusively
to the work of fighting tuberculosis, the
Caverly pTeventorium, the state sani-
forum at Pittsford and the Washington
county tuberculosis hospital in Barre.
All three of those institutions are either
filed to their capacity or TO the extent
of their present ability to carry on eff
fective work against tuberculosis: and
around them centers an important fight
in behalf of the health, happiness and
economic progress of the state. Through
their training and treatment of the pa
tieuts and through their isolation of the
patients they can accomplish a great
deal along those lines. Vermont could
scarcely devote herself to more help
full work than this, rightly conducted
