 Mir. Chrtst's Answer
 Mir christ's letter follows, Hon A. NJ. Paonessa, Mayor,@
 New Britain, Conn.
 My Dear Mayor:
 Your long letter of the 26th was handed to me shortly after eleven o'clock. Unfortunately I have several business appointments which will take my entire day, and also have an en- gagement out of town, of some weeks standing, which will require that l leave for New York this afternoon. hope 1t is unnecessary for me to say that want to give every oonsid- eratton to any communication which l may receive from you, but 1t Is phy- sically impossible for me to make . comprehensive reply to your letter to- day will, however, at my earliest opportunity, read your letter carefully, and will reply to 1t as early as can. As shall be out of town for the bal ance of the week, 1t is possible that it can not be attended to until early next week
 do wish, however, to take this oc- caslon to say to you. and to the peo- pie of New Britain. that do not hest tate to assume responsibility for ad- vising local coal dealers to purchase coal at high prices at the mines, so that we might have coal In New Britain at price. rather than have fixed price which would have neces- stated the purchase of company coal only, and resulted as 1t has in many cities in the state. in their not having coal for the people.
 I can not too emphatically state that the position we have taken up to this time Is the only wise one to take, and It has resulted in the City of New Britain having much larger quan- tity of coal in proportion to the total that we will receive before April 1, 1923, than almost any other city In the state.
 Yours very truly,
 F. W. CHRIST,
 Fuel Administrator.

traffic authority. speaking before the

Mr.. Emo. who WAS one OF the fran
ers of the traffic regulations of Paris

Capital WAS one of the best laid-eut
cities in the world and would lend
itself easily to traffic management
He predicted that with the proper

which would not only reduce trainc
fatalities so per cent in SIX months,

them strictly up to date and adequate

Indies is of permanent and enduring
character. 1T is in no sense a mere
product OF the war" he explained,
but is the logical outcome Of the
growing demand in the Du,ch East
Indies for machinery and manufac-
tured goods and the requirements of
the United States for the many prod
ucts required in modern civilized life
which the Dutch East indies in turn
arc in the best position to supply.
Because OF the Dutch East Indies

the large trade with those islands.

the Dutch East Indies is of especial
interest to the American people. AL
though the export trade Of the Dutch
East Indies has been affected in the
last few years. as has been the trade
of every country in the world by the
economic crisis explained the new
minister. the exports from the Dutch
East Indies amounted in 1920 to more
than $500 0o000.0U0. about one e-seventh
of the export trade OF the whole

bition agents.

The first step would be to bring

would be kept on leash. The men;
breathing strongly of whisky would
be set on the dog to attack MIN:

next day the same men, or o'he,s,

the dog would by habit become &C.
customed to despise the smell OF

would be dangerous for the boot
leeeer's person. And so. at first. the
animal would be put through his first
actual experience with actual boot
leggers on a leash held by the pro-
hibition agent.
The ability of the dog. prohibition
officials admitted. had already been
soundly esta blished in certain chan
nels. How well the dog could be
adapted to nationwide campaign
against bootleggers. moonshiners and
their ilk was question they
thought. perhaps worthy of expert
ment.
But the government. II was made
plain. could not put the dog himself
on the payroll. The government. so
far as prohibition officials knew. had
never paid a dog salary. so the
best method to institute the expert
ment would be for the owner and the
trainer to become prohibition agent
and take out his dogs on the trail. II
was explained further that the gov
ernment could not promise to assume
responsibility for the dog nor for the
damage he might do.
