BABY Prairie Schooner to Go
Length of New Gla-
cier Trail.

st. Louis, May 27.-A team of dom
esticated billy goats hitched to a nina
ture prairie schooner and driven by
Boy Scouts, will officially dedicate
Glacier Trail by travelling the route
from st. Louis to Glacier national park
this summer.
Glacier Trail has for its road mark
err a brilliant colored metal enamelled
sign bearing the picture of n Rocky
mountain goat, and Bert Fuqua. sec
rotary and manager of the Glacier
Trail association, concluded it would be
fitting formally to open the new trans
continental automobile trail by first
driving a team of goats over it. Mr.,
Fuqua already has marked Glacier
Trail with the goat road marker from
st. Louis to Glacier national park. Be
fore the summer is over the full route
will be marked with this striking road
sign from Jacksonville, Fla, to the
Pacific coast.
The goats that will be used for this
novel trail dedication were kids when
captured above the clouds on Going
to-the-Su mountain in Glacier nation
al park. They were trained to harness
last year. Mr.. Fuqua has converted
a Briggs and Stratton flyer juvenile
blackboard automobile into a small

THE E MAKING DAY
AND THE TARIFF

Judge Ebert H. Gary, in pre-
senting his annual address as presi-
dent of the American Iron and
Steel Institute, spoke along two
lines of effort which are highly
commendable but difficult of &C
complishment. Each has something
to do with the other. He said that
the steel men were ready to inves-
tigate the practicability of elimi-
mating the 12-hour day in accord
with public sentiment. This, of
course, is a matter that is largely
in the hands of the steel producers.
The time long since went by when
the people of this country think
that a man should work IL hours in
a day and do it continuously. Such a
working day is not conducive to the
development of the best American
citizens. The burden is too heavy.
The physical strain IS too long. 1t
is asking too much just as the con-
trary demand for a six-hour day or
a five-day week is going to an un-
reasonable extreme in the opposite
direction. The sentiment of the
American people today possibly is
that the eight-hour day just about
marks the reasonable middle ground
which is fair and equitable.
Mr.. Gary advises that the tariff
be taken out of politics. Probably
he and his associates could do more
than anybody else to bring about
such a result. If the steel corpora
tons would recall their representa-
tives who are now in Washington
working for higher tariff duties
upon steel products that would be
a first long step toward taking one
of the tariff schedules out of poll
tics. AS long as big companies
maintain a representation at the
national capital which endeavors to
secure tariff duties having within
them a portion of the protection
afforded causing an addition to
profits, there will be no hope of
taking the tariff out of politics. If
the legislators were left alone, we
might expect some day to get a tar
iff based upon e needs in
stead of one framed largely for the
increase of manufacturing divi-
dends.
Profits that come out of legisla-
ton and not out of service are one
of the denominations in the business
life of America.

Assurance of Safety

Mersina, Turkey, May 27.-The ma
tive population which fled to the noun
tains during the French occupation OF
the province of Cilicia in southern Ana
tolia, is returning in great numbers to
their homes.
The shops of Armenians are still
sealed. NThs authorities issued q proc
lamation to the exiles calling upon
them to return to their homes stating
that Turkish laws were equal to all and
that law abiding citizens could rely on
the governments support. The proc
lamation had no effect, since 100000
Armenians are still on the road OF
exile without manifesting the least de-
sire to return to their homelands.

Mr.. Printice is little troubled with
soil blowing. His careful preparation
of the soil for winter by use of the
spring tooth harrow helps to control
this. Then. during the winter. he hauls
manure TO the higher knobs of ground
in each field-another practice that
helps to prevent blowing and keeps
these raised spots of ground able TO

THE MOVIE AND I'll
PUBLIC

Will H. Hays, president of the
Motion Picture Producers and Dis
tributors of America, before an au-
dience in Chicago asks the public
to stand behind and to help the
motion picture producers in their
efforts to maintain a clean moral
tone. We have an idea that the
public is entirely ready to comply
with this request. In fact, during
this year 1922, the sensible people
of the United States are really
waiting to see what the motion pic
ture people propose to do within
their own volition. 1t will not be
necessary that reform be effected
in a moment, but it will be required
that progress be made along whole
some lines. 1t is highly important
that voluntary progress be made
before the legislatures of the states
may be asked to consider regula-
ton in the sessions that come next
year.
The motion picture has become
an established essential in Ameri-
can life. 1t will be unfortunate if
the situation shall drift until crank
reformers are able to make de-
mands which might destroy reason
able procedure in the manufacture
and distribution of movie entertain
ment. Unwholesome scandal, dreary
crime, and questionable incident
must be eliminated. A showing of
the beautiful things of the world,
clean entertainment and education
must have the right of way. The
moving picture industry must file
it's final appeal with the American
home and, if it cannot secure a YER
dict of approval, then there will be
reeulation-some of it would be
good and some of it would be bad.
Another thought ONE in pass
ing. When final approvals are
reached, the people who become
stars and those contributing in a les
ser way to the personnel will be
Obliged to come under the same
citizenship obligations as pertain
everywhere else. There will have
to be less riotous living and more
good conduct at Hollywood. Stars
may earn big salaries, but they will
spend them %decently. There will
be fewer Arbuckle parties or there
will be falling stars in moviedom so
far as the public is concerned.
Mr.. Hays has a wonderful field
for service in an industry that has
possibilities not yet measured. The
public is ready to assist.

COUNTY TAX CLIMBS
 Sl9,000 IN 10 YEARS
Rises From S9,242 in 1912 to

Assessments of county taxes against the city of New Britain in the past 10 years have more than trebled, ref erence to the records at the office of City Clerk Alfred l.. Thompson shows The city's payment to Hartford coun- ty in 1912. 10 years ago, was ss,- 242.76. This year, Comptroller Han ford l.. Curtis has announced, the city will be required to pay s2o,O54.S1.
 The increase through the past de- cade has been pSbportionate to the increase in the city's grand list since it is from the grand list that the coun- ty commissioners compute the amount that is to be charged each city or town.
 In 1917 the tax jumped to s9< 243.76 from the figure of $9,070.1S which had been charged in 1910. In 1914, s10,113.9S was fixed by the com as New Britain's payment, and two years later, in 1916, the city paid 1,494.44. The 1918 charge was

MILITARY LEADER | CHINESE PREMIER
Picking Report Indicate New

Picking. Dec, 10. (By Associated Prcss) )--Gen. Chang shao-Tseng. the military leader, has been appointed premier with the approval of parlia- ment. His selection, which was sup ported by Gen. Tsao-kun is believed 10 indicate the intention of the mill tary party to resume control of China.
 The Chinese newspapers published reports to the effect that President Ii Yuan Hung will soon retire and that Gen. Tsao-Kun will take his place. Another report says that sao-Kun, with the backing of Gen. Chang Tse- Lin, Is preparing hostilities against Gen. Wu-Pei-Fu for early spring with the purpose of placing Picking gov- ernment completely in tho hands of the militarists.
 The appointment Of Chang Shao- Tseng to the premiership is declared to be a concerted move of the mili- tarists to regain control. It is said that with the support of the military group in 16 provinces, Tsao-Kun in- duced President Li Yuan Hung to nominate the new premier and that parliament voted almost unanimously in his favor. This is taken to indicate that parliament is ready to support Gen. Tsao Runs ambition to accede to the presidency.
 Ready To Start Action.
 Gen. Tsao- Kun has effected an all lance with Gen. Chang Tso-Lin, the Manchurian war lord whose army is provided with modern weapons and ample supplies. As an ally of Tsao- Kun, the Manchurian forces are said to be prepared to start campaign against Gen Wu Pei Flu.
