New Orleans.-The throbbing tread
OF countless thousands on American
Legion parade day echoed the more

Americas manhood and womanhood

Twenty thousand were in line, an

Backing the 10000 was the power
OF millions. power perhaps greater
in peace than in war. Square with
the legionnaires stood the hundred

to love the men who fought. in spite
of political chickering's which have
brought stain of ingratitude.

burst in a blare of color at the city

guests and laborers felt perhaps more
than ever before the pulling power OF
the glorious Red, White and Blue.
Heroes bore those brilliant flags,
men who have fought for tattered
banners whose torn strands barely
resembled the flags of yesterday.
Behind the flags were the Medal Of
Honor men, medal tokens glittering
on their breasts and telling the tale
Of heroic sacrifice. Some had bodies
torn and shattered, others apparently
had never known the pain Of wound.
Every marching man, whether hon

Among these were gold star mothers,
foreign soldiers and sailors, Mayor

Samuel Gompers and Judge Lands.
The parade resumed its resistless
stride. Bands of flaring music and
the roar of drums filled the air. State
after state and nation after nation
exhibited the best of it's citizenship.
Members of the Federation Inter-Al-

fered for years before these newer
soldiers brought hope and victory,
were in automobiles. Many Of these
men could not have walked, the
wounds they suffered have left their
bodies frail.

.GORBACH FAVORS
 "SPOILS SYSTEM
Former Councilman Would Have City Business Handled Entirely By
 Partisan Commissions

Ex-Councilman A. Gorhach. a member of the democratic state cen- tral com mittee, has come out advo- eating the "spoils system" in local politics, and suggests an amendment to the charter which would, in ef- feet, place the city on a plan of oper- alton which would have as it's motto: ''To the Victor belongs the Spoils."
 Mr. Gorbach feels that under a democratic administration the mayor should not be required to follow q charter provision that would require the placing of a certain number of representatives of any one political party on a commission. He feels that all boards should be strictly partisan.
 In explanation, Mir. Gorbach points out that the success or failure of an administration is tackled onto the mayor and his political party. Since he IS responsible, he should be per mitted to surround himself with those Of his own party who are equally anxious for party success, he asserts,
 Ex-Mayor o. F. Curtis during his administration inaugurated a some what similar system by replacing all democratic chairmen, with one excep- ton. by republicans.

'bS -Al'AnIIitl iINI llidllJ' New York, June 20.-Within three years motorists from the West will drive into New York through it's newest subway, the Hudson River vehicuar tunnel. They may miss the ferry ride and view of the skyscraper sky line. But they'll come through the best-venti- lated tunnel in the world in steady stream of 1900 cars an hour,
 This tunnel will consist of twin tubes 20 feet in diameter and 1 t-2 miles long, built at a cost of S29,- 0oO n00,
 Work on the project is now being carried on--from both sides of the rIver.
 For time a local political squab- ble kept the engineers from starting construction on the New Jersey shore. But Clifford M. Holland, chief engineer, and several associates, went over one night, took pick and shovel and broke the ground without waiting for the formal opening sched- uled for July 4
 Poison Problem.
 Before beginning work, the com missioners in charge had to solve one Of the centurys most difficult en- gineering problems.
 How could they make sure the tunnel, filled with gases from the exhausts of automobiles, would not become a great death trap?
 With aid of federal authorities. they decided to conduct experiments

K|N|RY EXPLAINS
 HOW HE FEELS
Does Not Wish Misunderstanding
 Over His Politics

John J. Kiniry, brother of James
 kiniry. secretary 10 Mayor Paonessa
 has made statement in which he
 claims desire to contradict state
 ments made concerning him. His let
 ter is rather too long for publication
 in full at this time.
 Excerpts from the letter, which ap- pear to make plain his wishes are printed below.
 | To the Editor of the New Britain Herald:
 Two things I personally object to, 1 is to have our local newspapers create the impression that I am disgrunted and dissatisfied with Mayor Paones- sa's actions and further that want cd the position as secretary to the present mayor, and being unable to get it became angered. This statement means nothing more than the fact that my brother Jim. defeated me in a contest for the position and that in view of his success I became dis gruntled. It is ridiculous to assume that such is the case in view of the fact that he and I are partners of kniry 6c Co.,, have been for the past three years, and will continue to be just as long as such a partnership is successful.
 | In addition to the foregoing, I de- sire it to be publicly known that have the greatest admiration and re- spect for Attorney David l.. Dunn; was associated with him for two years or more in the same business office and consider myself indebted to him in a large measure for whatever suc- cess I have had in business, for it was he was made my entrance into business possible.
 Further than this desire the read CTS of the local papers to know that have no political ambitions at the present time, and if I have at later date. the public will be advised of the fact through the proper channels. The only thing in politics which inter- ests me is the fact that by being ar active member of any political party the opportunity presents itself at some time or other when such mem Der can assist or help a friend and during my short career I have en- deavored to accomplish the same without regard for my own political future.
 Mayor Paonessa told the truth when he stated: T am the boss" It is proper that he should be and it is also proper for him to consult with his friends for advice. It does not necessarily follow. however, that he is compelled to take their advice.
 As regards my relationship with Mir. Thos. J. Smith, l desire to say that while such a relationship does exist, 1t is so remote that I do not know the connection However, T know MT. Smith to be an honorable, upright, and God fearing man with whom anyone might be proud to claim a relationship. If he were die tating the policies of the Paonessa administration as has been claimed, | why is it that he personally has not obtained any of the so-called 'plums?'

houses have not yet compiled with the workers demand that cut goods sent out to be finished be sent only to designated contractors.
 The stoppage of work was called, BIumberg said, because some of the manufacturers violated an agreement made with the union year ago when a strike in the industry came to an end. Under this agreement, he ex- plained, manufacturers were to fur nish the amalgamated organization with list of contractors to whom they would send work

in an old coal mine at Bruceton, Pa
 There they constructed small tunnel. Conditions were similar to those under the Hudson.
 Automobiles were sent into the tunnel, Drivers and chauffeurs were examined before and after the tests
 Other experiments were conducted in the physiological laboratory at Yale and in the engineering experi- ment station of the University of Illinois.
 It was found no harm would result from exposure to four parts of car bon monoxide, the poison of the ew- haust gases, in 10000 parts of air.
 So the engineers decided to build four ventilation shafts which will change completely the air of the Hudson tunnel 42 times an hour forcing in 3,500,o00 cubic feet of fresh air every minute.
 The air is admitted through ducts at the bottom of the tubes and ex- hausted from the top.
 There is absolutely no danger" says Holland. The 7000-horsepower plants will distribute steady supply of fresh air. If machine breaks down a wrecking crew, stationed fin each tube, will help it out quickly.
 At present there are 14 ferry lines over 12 miles carrying the traffic across the river. It is esti- mated 24,0oo vehicles cross over each day. And the number is increasing daily
 "rhe vehicular tunnel will take care of 46,000 daily"
