THE GENOA CoNrERENgE.

Just when the Genoa conference will
be held, or when it will actually get
down to business even though 1t con
Fenes on March s, Is a matter Of inter-
est to many countries at the present
time. The arrangement had been made
for It before the change in the premier
ship in France. The replacing of BRAND
with Poincare. has upset the scales and
now rance is anxious that there be
postponement Of the date. Whether the
government situation in Italy is suf1i-
Client TO warrant q delay will doubtless
be determined before that date, and but
for the position which has been taken
by France the attitude of this govern
ment would have been disclosed.
The conference at Genoa is called for
tho purpose Of reaching solution Of the
economic problems of Europe. That is a
job which this country has not previ-
ousiy considered 1t should be concerned
in, yet 1t is interested In many ways in
thse conditions because 1t is large
creditor OF many Of the nations and it
is realized that not until there has been
readjustment over there will it be pos
slble for conditions to become normal
over here.
We have no desire to tell Europe what
it should do but it is likely that Euro
pean nations are bit interested in the
view which the United States takes even
as an outsider, what can be expected as
Its attitude regarding different phases
of the problems and what Its Intentions
are regarding its European debts.
While there is a Widespread desire in
certain circles to get Russia opened up

that this government has maintained
| that it could never recognize the soviet
government until 1t had complied with
certain requirements. To enter the
| Genoa conference with Lenine In at
tendance would technically indicate a
recognition of that government.
However, while there are those that
feel that something should be done for

IRREPLAcABLE REcoRDs.

Time and again it has been the ex-
pertence that while the need of provid-
ing Are proof structures for the housing
Of old and valuable records was recog-
nized too little attention was paid to
getting such until some serious loss had
been suffered and documents which could
not be replaced had gone up in smoke.
1t is not surprising therefore that
there should be a renewal of the de-
mands which have been repeatedly voiced
for a non infammable storage place for
government papers following the fire
which occurred this month on the root
OF the treasury building. 1t brings to
mind all that has been said in behalf
Of building that would protect them
against fire and naturally sets in mo-
ton a new movement to have the situa-
ton met. There is no denying the need
and there can De no denying the fact
that it would be much preferable to erect
such an archives building as will meet
requirements than it would be to suffer
the loss Of any particular part of those
which cannot he replaced.
The demand for the construction Of
such n building does not mean that an
other capitol or another treasury build
ing is sought. 1t doesn't call for an ex
travagant outlay of money just because
It IS to be erected in Washington or be
cause it is government money that is in
volved. What Is needed is a substan
tlal, freproof building that will tskt
care OF existing needs and such addi
tons TO the records as can be expected
in the next few generations, such :
storehouse to be for the various depart
ments as occasion requires. Such {
building doesn't need to be erected OF
Pennsylvania avenue or the most ex
pensive site that can be picked out. Th'
reed can be met in a sane and reason
able manner. It Is protection that i
required and that is what should be aim
cd at.
And while there is a recognized nee
for such a building at the national cap
ital there are reasons for believing tina

READ YOUR CHARACTER

is with a single straight stem, made
by an up and a down stroke of the pen
or pencil. In actual practice it varies
from this often in many different
ways.
One variation, with which you are
undoubtedly familiar, and which per-
haps you use yourself, is to make the
stem as a sort of narrow loop.
It's a common enough trait in hand
writing. and it denotes a rather com
mon trait of character, and a good
one.
People who loop their IT'S. you NAV
be sure have a certain amount of SEN
sitive pride about the things the ycon-
slider really important. They are SEN
sitive in the sense that they are likely
! to resent your criticism of their ac-
tons in relation to the things in which
they have this sense of pride. but not
| in the sense that their feelings are
| easily hurt.
| The looped e., however, doesn't tel
you what the things are in which
they are proud. That is a thing YOU
must find out from their other physi-
cal characteristics. 1t may be religion
ethics or artistic ability, or sense OF

things in which people do take pride

The Come cticut delegation is naturally
much pleased over the opinion expressed
by President Harding at the Lincoln day

AS Connecticut is the only state in the
Union which did not run amuck and
put the primary into effect before 1t had
been tried out as an experiment else
where the men elected under the conven-
ton system today feel they are at the
top of the ladder. 81 would rather have
men seeking office appeal for support
on their party's platform and policies,
than as one who appeals as an individu-

WORKING TOGETHER.

Massachusetts, is already seeing the
benefit that is coming from the periodi-
cal meetings of the motor vehicle COM
missioners of ten eastern states in con-
necton With the putting into operation
and enforcement of uniform motor We
hicle laws Through the manner in
which various and neighboring states
have been having difficulty in dealing
with certain automobile problems it has
been possible for others to profit from
the steps that have been taken to de-
crease the number of accidents, to reg
ulate the headlights of vehicles, to en-
force the highway laws, to keep control
Of the situation through the licensing OF
drivers and to work for greater safety
through the suspension and denial of IL
censes to those who have figured In ac-
cidents and those who hove been found
to be reckless.
1t Is through the closer study that Is
possible of the effectiveness of such
measures of regulation that vehicle
commissioners are being helped in the
handling of the problems in the various
states in this part of the country. Like
wise 1t becomes more and more evident
that If all the states in this part of the
country required the same thing of the
auto drivers there would be decided
Improvement In the situation, bette,
control would be maintained over tht
reckless and the fast increase number
of automobiles would be governed By
measures that experience has shown tt
be necessary to provide greater safety
Traffic problems are increasing In
stead of decreasing and the greatest ser
vice in the handling of them is bound tt
be rendered through uniformity an
keeping up with the demands of thu
day.

GETTING GOOD RESULTS.

What must be regarded as a most
pleasing accomplishment in the list Of
safety first efforts is the record estab-
lished for the month of January on the
New Haven road which shows that not
a single employee of the road was fatal
" injured. Just what that means, al
though it is recognized that the road is
the employer of a large number of
hands of whom many are engaged in
hazardous work, can best be realized
that It IS unusual when someone is not
killed. It is so seldom that an employe
IS not fatally injured that it is worthy
OF specia! mention from the viewpoint
Of the railroad and it cannot fail to
make its appeal to any and all interest
ed IT safety measures.
Il Is not the first time, or the second
that ruch a record has been made for
it has been done during one month in
each Of the last two years, and starting
with the month Of January there is fur
nished the hope that two or more months
In 1922 will be free from fatal accidents
It has always been maintained thai
many of the deaths on the railroads
could be prevented by the exercise Of
the proper amount Of care. It has beer
shown that there are good results to b
obtained from the safety first efforts
which have been inaugurated by tbs
railroad, the steps which have beer
taken 10 protect the lives of the en-
pioyes and the efforts which have beer
made to get the cooperation of the EN-
plcyes and the efforts which have beer
riade to get the cooperation Of the en-
ployes for their own good.
Thus it cannot fail to be gratifying t.
all involved. directly or indirectly, tina
there appears to be such an excellen
spirit manifested as to bring about re
suits Of this character. 1t demonstrates
TIE benefits Of the present safety FRS
