A few such occur rences will teach him to beware o1 German goods in the future and, Tn time the lack of service given by poor goods will eliminate the German product from the market entirely, Providing that Germany has serious intentions of building up a world trade. and holding it, she has ig- nored one of the first principles of bus mess in turning out an article which will not do what it is supposed to do, whatever its price may be.
 The business question is with us, the tariff is an important factor in the nroblem, Human nature is the same, give the manufacturers too much and they will attempt to profit too much, as will the laborers who work for them. In setting a tariff there comes a time for rare discrimination, so that enough of the burden. may be taken from this country's shoulders to start it from scratch in the business world, and so that the other fellow may fur nish some competition in order that the American business world may not have an oportunity to exercise extor- ton.

WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH THE WEATHER?

Something is radically wrong, these last few days In the weat1er scheme We have been led by the routine of the last eight weeks or so, to expect at least one thunderstorm daily. And we have not had one for five days. New Britainites were becoming thoroughly inured to the rattle of lighting and the crash of thunder, sc much so that but passing attention was paid to the storms.
 Now the weather man has seen fit to readjust his scheme of things and has produced sultry, hot days from wherever it is he get his mospheric conditions. The change, well marked though it is, is none too acceptable, The showers had a welcome tendency to cool the air, particularly at an hour shortly before sunset when they us- ually came, making the nights cool and comfortable. Their influence has been missed the past few nights, sore ly missed.
 A better equalization of moisture would have been more welcome to us than the passing from one extreme to another which we are witnessing. But then, we take what we get, we are as impotent before the weather as we are before the strikers.

APIRLIC CAMP SITE

Agitation for a camp site for tour ing automobilists in the city of New Britain. originated by the Chamber ot Commerce, should be met with favor in the city. A we'll equipped site would prove the source of much valuable ad- vertising to the city and would not prove a great expense as little is de- manded by the tin can autoists be- yond a level place to pitch a tent, The Chamber of Commerce has ap- proved of the plan to establish a site, favor of such scheme and it appears that it will not be a great while be- fore a plot in the North End park is laid for the purpose.

Note sometime the cars which pass and you will be surprised at the number that have camping equipment in view.
 Through the west there have been many camp sites provided for the tourists and in some sections of the east have well established places for taking care of the wayfarer. New systems has many camps, equipped with lights, water and a stone oven or two. They are becoming more and more patronized.
 The chances are that site here abouts would not be so we'll used as places where there are long hauls between town. Nevertheless the grounds would be used and, should they prove acceptable, would become regular stopping place for tourists Ifo fo ir,t tc ,x-ha i,,ta J to daily longer. By word of mouth the desirabiity of our site would pass, one more and New Britain would gain by the advertising thus obtained, gain far make it appear.

producers as may develop, There is more than possibility that seere- tsry HooVer's statement Of yestetiay is forecast of what President Hard Ing will ask when he goes before Con gress and discusses the cos and rail strikes. He is due to deliver n messa ge on these strikes within few hours according to reports from Washing 1 ton.
 II Is past time for some definite ac- l ton by the government on the strikes now in progress (the coal strike is near settlementD fl the administration would improve its position with the general public. There is a widespread feeling that dlatory tactics with the strikes has worked very much to the disadvantage Of the public and that they might have been settled had the administration taken it upon itself to enforce an agreement Of some kind The big stick that might have been used has deteriorated considera bly and the time for its application Is rapidly passing. However, by rationing coal, and by fixing a price which must be rieidly lived up to, there may be some surcease in the situation even now.
 IL would seem that the limiting of the amount which may be bought, once a satisfactory price is decided upon, might prove of biggest beneht. Coal supplies at present are very low, cars for hauling it are short, both conditions being due to strikes. Within short time there will come the greatest demand for coal Every householder and every busienss man will attempt, within three months. to lay in a supply that will last out the winter He will want his stock. This cannot be, of course. We must all be satisfied with very small portion of our winter needs. so that each may have a share of what may be mined between now and fall. As the winter progresses and the stock runs low we should be meted out another small portion. In this way, and this way only will all be able to get coal There may be possibility of the miners keeping pace with the demand, after they have resumed operations.
 But methods must be obtained to check the greedy individuals who buy, at any price full supply, and those passage of strict laws

TARIFF

Tariff matters seem to be again talk ing prominent place in the politics of the country, although the trade question is not the clearly defined partisan issue that it once was and is becoming more akin to a sectional matter. Each portion of this country seems to be particularly interested in protecting the article which 1t manu- factures or produces from the inva- are anxious to lower the prices of the raw products which they use in some process. The southern representatives. being democrats and coming from a country which is non- n-manufacturing are not particularly interested in high tariff on manufactured goods therein lies the only kinship to parti- san politics on the tariff question
 There islittle doubt but that many from this section. republican or dem ocrat, view with alarm the invasion of our markets by German goods in particular. There are some exceptions, those exceptions being the individuals whomay profit by acting asmddlemen in the transfer of the goods from the German salesman to the American re- tail purchaser, but the majority realizes that moderate protection, at least, should be given by the govern ment. in the form of tariff. When local cutlery concern for instance face a competition that is founded primarily on wage scale that is ap- proXimately one tenth of what the prevailing scale is in this country whereby the German may sale at about one-tenth of our prices, it must either meet that price, which means pairing wages below living scale. or go out of business, which means no wage at all to the workman. American products must find sale In American markets else there vii be no jobs. It is believed that the workman realizes this fact and is in favor of a tariff that will place the proper protection on his employer and his job, but does not favor a tariff that will force him to pay a price which means big profit to the manufacturer When the tariff is to high it would act to elim mate competition, the elimination of competition means that an exorbitant price might be demanded for the article manufactured.
 Germany, it is true, cannot pay her repara tions, cannot meet her oblsa- tions when she has no outside trade. Granting that, the fact becomes ap- parent that American business will pay Germany's obligations if she is allowed practically unrestricted trade in the United States.
 Her wages make her production costs. low, the workman here would gain in purchasing his needs at pre- vailing German prices, but he would ultimately have no wage coming in to enable him to buy even the chea pest of the cheap.
 There is another factor, an encour- aging one. entering into the German trade situation, however, and that is the poor quality of the goods being sold here. It was quoted, several days ago. in the Herald that locks, coming from Germany so that they may be bought for comparatively little money, are of the cheapest possible construo- ton, that they are of little good as locks and that they may be high at the price. This means that the buyer,

FIXING THE PRICE OF COAL

Proposals to ask Congress to pass legislation which would tend to fix prices and insure proper distribution of coal during the first part. at least, of the coming winter, which were hinted at yesterday by Secretary Hoover might well be adopted for the safety and protection of the general public. Legislation does not always accomplish the desired end in such situations as many know. If there ie leefslation there will be an additional point brought to bear upon such
