RESERVATIONS

The proposed Brandegee reserva- tion to the Four Power Treaty is proper in itself. It explains what the United States understands the treaty to mean; there spropriety in letting other nations know what that under- standing is. It provides that this or moral, to maintain the rights in relation to the insular possessions or dominions, of any other contracting nations and that the consent of Con- gress is necessary to any adjustment under the treaty by which the United States is bound in any way, and that there is no legal or moral obligation to give such consent.
 This reservation, or any reservation equally clear, does not change the purpose of the treaty as far as we are concerned. Any reservation providing that contracting nations are released from the binding quality of the treaty if it's provisions or any of them, are violated by any of the contracting nations, would be proper also. Such reservation would not change the purpose of the treaty as it's inspira- tion was understood by the United States. Any taint of bad faith, thus shown by any nation, would taint the whole treaty.
 But the trouble with reservations and the discussions over them, is the of a question into the work of the conference.-the danger of de- stroying what of good may come from the conference, such good being founded solely on good faith and noth- ing else. If reservations of this char acter and of this character only will be added and the treaty adopted without further, ambiguous altera- tions, well and good.
 The proposed reservations in them selves are proper. What their pro- posal may lead to is improper and

FARE HEARING TOMORROW.

Tomorrow will be day of prime
 A saving of many thousands of dol lars for the people of New Britain may result from what is done tomor- row.
 This saving may be accomplished to the detriment of no person, no group of persons, is the firm local convic- ton.
 The prominent people of New Brit ain, men and women, are in po- ston to help assure this saving for the workers of New Britain. Busy though they are such well known men and women are able to arrange to Dpend part of tomorrow morning in Hartford before the public utili- ties commission for the sake of the people of New Britain and for the sake of reasonableness and justice.
 The best citizens of this city are all interested in so-called "Welfare Work" They would take some trouble to further such work.
 Here, tomorrow, is the opportunity for such people to do real welfare work Gaining a saving of many thousands of dolars for the workers of New Britain would make much of the welfare work unnecessary and would make it possible for hundreds more people of this city to join in welfare work of the city,
 Here is d chance for the "big men of this city to show their employees whether or not they do in fact feel a vital interest in the welfare of such employees. Let them go to Hartford and appear in room 1 of the Capitol at ten o'clock in the morning and tell the commission New Britain needs the six-cent fare and New Britain will patronize the troleys under the six cent fare. They will be telling the truth.
 Here is a real, splendid chance for the fine, public-spirited women of New Britain to show the people that their interest in them is real vital. Let them go to Hartford and appear before the public utilities commis- sion. Their mere presence and rec ignition of them by the commission will help hugely.
 The transportation committee is asking nothing more than is fair and just and wise both rom the point oi view of the people ani Of the Con necticut Company. The utilities com

Horror at the loss of life in the army dirigible disaster of yesterday comes, immediate. feeling of sym pathy for those to whom the dead were dear follows quickly. Then arises the question: Well, now what?"
 It takes courage for men and gov ernments to press on in progress in the face of catastrophes such as this Thousands, millions of voices are heard decrying the spirit which con- stantly urges onward. Thousands, mil lions of hands point to the past with it's Encouragement, it's blood spots of tragedy; millions of words call for a cessation of such dangerous cxper- iments Investigations are made, faults of construction Sor design are found; guilty are punished or absoved be- fore men but not in their own con- sciences.

 But all through disaster and dis the brave, the fearless go on, planning, daring accomplishing suffering perhaps, dying. Nothing stops them. And because of their lives, their deeds, progress never hes itates, never halts. Upon such firm foundation stands civilization.

SOUND ENCOURAGEMENT.

Many people have been predicting better times.' They have not come to any appreciable extent. Many of them have become discouraged and remarked that they have been fool ing themselves"
 Gov. W. r. G. Harding of the Fed eral Reserve Board said in his an- nual report to Congress-: For some months past there has been marked easing in domestic rates of interest .. the investment market is now absorbing securities at reasonab ble rates which could not have been con sidered few months ago; market quotations for Liberty Bonds have steadily advanced until they are now approaching par; good railroad and industrial bonds have also appreciat- ed and there have been noticeable ad- vances in standard stocks.'
 Gov Harding describes the busi- and increasing productions; excessive expansion and speculation followed by panic and forced liquidation; long period of slow liquidation, business depression and stagnation-then Re Nival
 When men like Gov. Harding begin to warn against the evils that may follow excessive prosperity, Revival" it is evident that they believe those

 We do not want 10 skip over that period Of excessive prosperity as Gov, Harding has.

The habit of not letting the public necessary has long been practiced. The results have not been good. There has been general dissatisfaction.

WAsHINGToN's BIRTHDAY

Once the anniversary of the birth of George Washington could not be allowed to pass without reference to the story of the hatchet and his reputed inability to tell lie. It was deemed necessary to draw and eluci- date lessons inspired by his life and service to this country in its infancy. Rhetorical periods were relied upon to emphasize the wisdom of following his example of devotion. The results obtained were supposed to be most efficacious in renewing spirit of pa triotism throughout the land.
 That time has passed. Today, with no less of respect for the "Father of his country" people would read such eulogies-and then yawn. As George Washington accomplished results in his way influenced by the habits, GUS toms and manner of thought of his time, so results may be accomplished today only by considering the habits customs and manner of thought of this time.
 George Washington's force is need cd today as much as it was needed when he lived. His example is to be followed in the things he accomplish ed, not in his manner of doing them any more than the same weapons may be used today in warfare that were used then.
 Nor should the force of his life be pointed out in the same way it would have been emphasized then. Men and women have not the time to read and listen. Even the thinking of today must be done quickly, intensively.
 But the force is there in that life, the inspiration is there. Memory of him and his service should be just as keen as it has been through all the years since his death. But that mem- ory should not inspire rhetorical rcminiscence. That memory should inspire vital, intensive thought de- cisive, determined acts--fortitude to get results. The flag of this country should not be described as floating in tho breeze on the anniversary of the day of the birth of George Washing ton Today our flag should be pie tured as snapping in the wind.

New Britain, Conn.,, Feb 22, 1922. To The Editor:--
 Torn and tattered, some of them lying bedraggled in the mud, the American flags or what is left of them, that were used to decorate the Court of Honor at the entrance to Walnut Hill, still remain, giving mute testimony to the negligence of those for whom the New Britain soldier lads gave up fheir lives.
 If we haven't sufficient regard for the memory of the boys who made the supreme sacrifice and for whom the Court of Honor was erected, let us al least show proper respect to the National colors and remove the rem .nants of the flags from the pillars from which they drag in the mud If the proper city officials do not take some action in the matter, it seems to me that the American Le- zion might bring it to their atten- tion AMERICAN.

Writings of Youngstcr Causes Teat'2- CT To mycstigatc-Had Fire
 In Hip Pocket

New York, Feb. 22.--tire "broke cut' late Monday in clothing occu- pied by one of the students of Miss Wilson's class in biology at the Bush- wick High school in Brooklyn. Through the hard work of the teach CT and others of the class, it was con fined to the basement, and was eX- tinguished after it had burned out the hip pocket and destroyed patch of cloth about as big as a dinner plate. The boy was not injured, but the pants were almost a total loss
 The fire appears to have come about through the lads unfamiliarity with how much phosphorous resents being kept in moist closed place. Miss Wilson had sent the boy for lime water and phosphorous for a chemical experiment.. After few minutes he returned and handed her the lime water.
 Did you get the phosphorus Charles?" asked the teacher.
 "Yesm," the boy said. its in my pocket
 He reached back for it. but stopped. i1iNit "ao u eiiSit rms anu o sizzling, and the boy began to smoke. Miss Wilson looked up and was startled at the expression on the boys face.
 What's the matter. Charles?' she asked, ''are you ill?"
 No ma'am," said Charles. T think I'm burnin' up."
 Miss Wilson whirled him around. He spoke the truth. He was burning up. His hip pocket smoked and sig zled, and pets of flame were begin- ming to bite eagerly into the cloth. al so into the boy underneath the cloth. Miss Wilson threw q bucket of water at him. II splashed the phosphorous aggravating it to further activity. Finally the fire was attacked with paddles and books and other things, and it was whipped until if gave up the fight and went out.
 Charles backed against the wall and remained there until another boy brought an overcoat. After which he went home.
