EMPLOYMENT FIGURES
SHOW STEADY INCREASE

In the past thirty days employment
figures have shown decided and con-
tinued upward trend in all sections of
the country. Today's bulletin from
the Presidents Conference on Unem-
ployment, based on figures from the
United States Employment Service,
states that for every 100 jobs avail
able there, are now 100 applicants,
as against .226t. in January. - -
In other words there was work for
only Al per cent of the seekers three
months ago, there are now jobs for
62 per cent. Based on an estimate of
g, 500, 900 jobless, this means employ
ment for $50 900 individuals.
In January there were 38 appli-
cants placed out Of every 100. For the
first week in April the number has
gone up to so. n q ...rz<5...s
sIt does not seem very much" said
Arthur Woods, chairman, Emergen-
cy Committee, which charted the fig
ures, "but the gain is distinct and con-
tfnued. Aprips first week has improv-
ed on March and is decidedly better
than January, which gives the confer
ence much hope that the unemploy-
sment situation will continue to bright
ensthrough the month and after"
~ Ascommittee is now hard at work,
tmders the direction of the conference
with the idea of alleviating future de-
pressions.. It is making study Of the
business cycle and seasonal unemploy-
ment, and will report on August 20.

their oyerrunning other territory. Flush ed with victory there is no little trouble in keeping them in place. It is unfortu- nate that tke allies have found it neees- sary to promise the Turks the return of eastern Thrace and Constantinople, but no wiser course could be pursued than that which is being followed in insisting upon the recognition by the Turks of the established neutral zone. While the ia- dications at the present are that the nn- derstanding between the Kemalists and the British will result in the prevention of conflict there is nothing positive about it. It is remembered that the Kem- alists promised to conduct tTemselves properly in Smyrna but that city is to- day a mass of ruins and untold horrors exist because of the coming of the Turks What they have done in that city is only what it was fair to presume they
 would do were they permitted to place their military forces in eastern Thrace | There would be no disposition to respect boundaries. They would overrun other wise peaceful territory regardless oi
 rights. But for the stand which the Brit.
 ish have taken there Is no telling whai 1 the Turks would have done by this time l in the neutral zone, Thrace and southeast
 ern Europe. The real unfortunate part is
 that there are those among the allies whe
 have so tied themselves up to the Turk:
 that they are prevented from judging then | in the light of past events and restricting them accordingly.

LIFE AND PROPERTY wAsTAGE.

You have, of course, remarked at the Tremendous loss that is involved in large fires as you read about them in the news reports, and you have deplored the loss of lifa when children, women and men have been burnd to death after being suf- located, or trapped by the flames. It is a .errihle thing that there should be such a wastage of life and property as occurs each year within this country.
 But as you have had your attention held by appalling losses have you stopped to think that this might be prevented to a large degree, that the exercise of prop ST foresight and a due amount of care would eliminate the conditions which in vite fires?
 It cannot faIl to be apparent to those who give little bought to the matter that fires are in a large proportion of tht cases the result of negligence and the tol eration of hazardous conditions. Enter. taininR the idea that because fire has no occurred under such circumstances there Is no danger that 1t will is to disegar1 that measure of safety which all should be eager to provide.
 Directly after large fire, especially should such occur nearby, there is apt U be displayed. a disposition on the par ef many to give more thought to fire pre- Fentian, to notice dangerous conditions md to apply the needed remedy. How many other fires have been prevented b. hrst such steps no one can tell. Wha Is needed is the prevalence of that sam concern relative to fire risks at all time because of the conviction that 1t mean the checking of that great waste of Tiff and property which staggers humanit! every now and then.
 Inztead of growing the fire losses il this country ought to be diminishing. Thi should be the case even though we are growing nation. and such would be tE rase if all these who are in position L do 90 would devote some thought to tn existing fire dangers and adopt the neces tary provisions for ending or safeguard Ing them. Fire prevention is the best an most effective kind of fire protection.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
vandalism in conneotieut.

Mir. Editor: Upon a recent sketchinS trip in North StNlington, just out of
 Westerly, R. T., my attention was directed
 by some local nature lovers to place
 called Lantern Hill This locality in colo
 nial days was used as a landmark Nat sea
 by mariners in the American navy. and to this day is used by fishermen in the
 vicinity of Noank and Fishers Island. When I-arrived at this spot was amazed at it's character. The formation of these hills was of a great and rare beauty. Un- usually odd in it's elevation. On the heights above the large facade of cliffs, which rise to about 500 feet, was a grove
 of rugged pine trees. oddly shaped, veter- ans of many storms. At the base was a pond full of lilies surrounded by a dense forest For miles around the approach to this place was through a region of lakes.
 To my disgust, progress had hit this place foul blow, and across these inn ] posing cliffs engineers had blasted and 1 cut an ugly railroad to reach silex mine ! far in the rear. Upon investigation I i found the mine could have been reached l and worked without this destruction and l vandalism. Lantern Hill has been forever i disfgured and destroyed. What for ages l had been reyerenced by prehistoric men as religious shrine and a place where ] the North American Indian had com muned with the Great Spirit at last came l the modern degenerate who not seeing its charm. had destroyed all in his worship of the almighty dollar.
 Does it not seem that the state of Con-
 1 necticut should have board or a com
 l mission for the protection of natural
 1 beauty? That no group should be allowed
 i to destroy beauty without appearing be-
 fore a court or a commission for permis.
 sion to operate without unnecessacy de
 struction and annihilation of a beautiful
 spot? Should not someone be responsible \ for the violation of nature? Let Con necticut take example from New Yorl state. which saved the Palisades; ol ,l Stockbridge, Mass, which preserved it Laurel Hill, the Glen and Monumen mountain, Indiana has a state conserva tion committee whose great work Is wei known. Virginia and many other of tn ;l several states of the union of more en ] frightened and progressive type hav ! solved this problem.
 q In country where religion is fast be
 coming fanatical and art neglected, wha , does the future hold out? And is it an, i, wonder that the people rush to Europe b. | the hundred thousands to see these yer, ? lovely things which we here annihilat : and desecrate?

MOVING COAL.

For the purpose of moving coal the
 Pennsylvania railroad has placed 1t on the
 priority list Only food and a few nee essties are put ahead of 1t. This is to bring about movement of this fuel that
 will keep the mines and, coal cars busy to capacity and thus relieve so far as it is possible the coal shortage.
 It Is an example which other roads
 should give due consideration. The con
 sumer seems likely to have use for all the coal he can get and probably for consid-
 erahle that he will be unable to get. But while every effort is being made to keep the coal cars in operation and #
 is even being claimed that there are not enough to meet requirements, 1t must be the case that many vessels or barges
 which have hitherto been used for the transportation of coal are doing nothing. Certainly they haven't been keeping this harbor congested and yet there is need for the coal It is a much shorter run for coal trains to the dumping ports than it
 is to the New England ports or interio- cities. If the vessels which can be em- rloyed to serve New England are utilized a double service could be obtained from the coal cars which are otherwise sent into this and other New England states.
 Handling coal by water has been benef-
 cial in the past to the consumer Unless conditions have changed 1t will be unfor- | tunate if the water transportation route l is overlooked and neglected while SC
 much is being said about shortage of coal
 cars and rail congestion. Full use of the
 available facilities needs to be employed
 under the conditions which prevail today and that can hardly ibe said to be the case
 until water transportation is resorted tc
 to relieve the railroads.
