PARSONS ARTICLE

Several weeks ago Roger Rahson wrote that business was only twelve per cent below normal Since then II has dropped to fifteen per cent and more Now he writes if is back to thirteen per cent-all of which indi- cates the truth of his statement that it is q day for neither pessimism nor false optimism, II is a day for conti- denee, The underlying trend is up- ward. gradual slow, subject to temporary setbaeks, but always up ward.
 Mir. Bahson's citing Of the reasons for quiet times at present, such as the lateness of the spring. indicate again that the bad influences are of a temporary nature, while flowing steadily is the stream of return to normal. Two years ago, he says, he prophesied there would be no per manent improvement until August 1922. He holds to that prediction, Two years is long time to cover in a prophecy, especially If one would like to be optimistic. He has right to be proud of his prediction as condi- tons are seen today,
 If labor does not become too hungry for increased wages" he writes, this spurt in new building may develop into a real boom" This is as far as MT. Babson will go but in his confident note may be seen a desire to forecast what he hopes will come and what he would undoubtedly forecast were he not compelled to be conservative in his statements owing to the confidence that is placed in his words. It has been suggested in these columns that great increase in the amount of building was bound to come. Being free of restraint as felt by financial expert, one may say that a building boom is, in fact, on the way.

VETERANS AND POPPIES

It is most appropriate that the sol interest influenced by the flower which means so much to those whose thoughts turn to those who gave their lives for their country
 This is what has come to pass in New Britain. The local posts of the American Legion and Veterans of Foreign wars have fallen in line to- gether and will try to make success of this week. Poppy Week." when the little flower is to be sold to aid in perpetuating the memory of those who have died, to aid those who have suffered and to help keep alive organ izations whose interests are the in- terests of men who stood ready always to give all they had for their land.
 The American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars stand together at least in this city. AS the poppies cover the graves of many former comrades of members of each organization, so may the poppies unite these men who fought together that they may live and work together in common interest and mutual respect.
 And when you are asked to buy poppy to help the cause which it is the duty and privilege of the former service men to guard remember that you are asked to honor again the memory of those who fought and died, those who suffer, and that the request comes from former buddies of those men, all standing together It will be a request that you will not refuse.

that national support will not be in evidence,
 The American basehall player, describing the English Prime Minister would say of him that he pitched a good game at Genoa even though he lost There were many safe hits made off his delivery, but few earned runs as most of those hits-praetieally all of them--eame after chances had been given to retire the opponents. There were many Texas Leaguers" made from his delivery. and 1t seemed at times as though France was playing for her release, giving pitcher Lloyd George poor support and certainly not entering into the team play. Certainly, too, the Premier's outfield was weak. True. there were few fly balls hit almost no hits going outside of the diamond.
 Lloyd Georges control was good. He gave no bdses on balls, even though he struck out no men. Had his speed been greater and had he hit couple of men perhaps he would have been better off-his opponents might have been easier to handle had they possessed greater respect for his power to hurt them. There was some dirty ball played against him, but the main trouble with the whole affair was that one of his opponents came from another league where the rules are different, where a different sort of ball Is used and where they aren't In the habit of admitting that even the umpire is right if he differs from their manager. The game ended in tie and was postponed on account of darkness. If there is an agreement on the rules and the other, side doesn't get in outside players, Lloyd George may win the play-off.

FIVE AMERICANS ENTERED
John Anderson of [. S. A. May Prove Dark Horse in British Amateur Golf Championship Tournament.

Prestwick Eng, May 22 (By As- sociated Press )-Five American play CTS were among the record field of 252 golfers which began play here today in the British amateur golf championship. The weather was ideal.
 The large number of entries will necesstate a whole weeks play and there were "A matches in the first round today, the remainder being carded for tomorrow morning.
 William Hunter, the present cham pion. is the favorite to win this years event, but with such players as Cyril Tolley. Roger H. Wethered and J. L. c. Jenkins in form the experts con- sider there may be a surprise in store for the holder in the &ter stages of the tournament. Some think it likely that dangerous contender may loom up in the person of John G. Ander- son of Siwanoy who is considered here to have the best chance of the Ameri- can entrants.

TAX COLLECTION

Whether or not Mayor Paonessa' $ determination te consolidate the two offices of personal tax collector and tax collector was wise, that determin- took place between the Mayor, as mayor, and Tax Collector Loomis As man Paonessa urged the consolidation of the two offices In other words he he would not apoint a personal tax collector, but would ask the Tax Col lector, MT. Loomis, to do the work If the Tax Collector refuses to do it. without extra compensation, and Mayor Paonessa decides extra com- pensation is not justified, he cannot well appoint another personal tax col lector in the place of MT. Mills. even at a lower salary for that would not be carrying out his prediction promise. He might, however, accept the suggestion of added compensation to Mir. Loomis, for as far as known, he took no stand as to the allowance of such extra compensate for the extra work.
 Thus it might well be that the con solidation of the two offices, granting more pay to the tax collector, would not bring a saving, for some personal tax collector appointee might do the work for less than the amount to which the added compensation of the tax collector would come.
 Of course, if Tax Collector Loomis promised to do the work without ex- tra compensation, and that promise was given before removal of MT. Mills was planned. the Mayor had right to reply on that promise. This, however, is a matter personal between the Mayor ALd Mir. Loomis, and has

SONG WHIS7LED BY
 WOMEN IN CHURCH
Congregation Sings Hymn to Air
 Of Popular Melody

Something new in religious services was sprung upon the congregation of the Trinity Methodist church last evening by Rev. ,\hn L. Davis, when he set the words Of an old time popu- lar melody to the tune of favorite hym and, after having the different sexes sing it, he delived blow at masculine egatism by having the wom- en In the congregation whistle 1t.
 The words were taken from Jesus Lover of My Soul" and the music was from Silver Threads" Besides the regular church choir the Aida quar- tette of girl trumpeters from New York added to the program.
 Male Prestige Gone Now
 After having both sexes sing alone. the minister had the men whistle the piece and then asked the women to whistle. Much to the surprise of the congregation the women far exceeded the men in their whistling ability.
 Although almost every emotion can be expressed in music, Rev. MT Davis contended in his sermon The Mes sage of Music" that, No man can be angry and sing" He spoke of the ap- peal music makes to the emotions and said this Is the reason some people do not care to have music at funerals.
 Most Popular Songs
 Speaking of the great popularity of Silver Threads" he said, The great or the appeal of hymn or song the greater it's popularity" He deslgnated as the most popular hymn, Nearer My God to Thee" and the most popu- lar song, Home Sweet Home"
 The Real Rulers
 These selections are popular be- cause of their universal appeal and hay ebeen among christian people Sle world over," he said. Many poor broken down human derelict on the way to suicide on the docks of New York city has had his or her life saved by the appeal of the song of some mission hall or some Salvation Army lassie."
 The people who write songs and folk lore of nation are the dead but sceptered sovereigns of tha tnation," he concluded.
 About 500 people attended the service.

TROTZkY-TCHJTCHERIN.

Comment is made on the contrast between Tchitcherin's fair words to the Italians on his departure from Genoa, and Trotzky's warlike utter ances to the future officers of the Red army.
 Don't believe in the Genoa speech es, said Trotzky. Trust only in your bayonets and your batteries"
 Ancient ties have united the Ital- ian and Russian peoples, says Tchitcherin, since the time the Ital- ian secret societies prepared the road for the development of Italy, when the cause of Italian liberty made the hearts of the champions of liberty of the Russian people throb."
 It is asked which statement, which words, truly reflect the thoughts of the Soviet government.
 Allowing for the fact that Tchitch- erin has just seen at close range the absolute opposition of other nations to the Soviet principles, and that Trotzky has not, nevertheless it is believed that underneath the statements of both men there is the same feeling. Tchitcherin dwelt emphatically on the relations of sympathy between the Russians and the Italian people-the people receiving the emphasis, not the occasionally mentioned Italian Gov ernment. His appeal, his thanks, were to the people, though necessity compelled him to speak to the Gov ernment. It is not impossible to feel that Tchitcherin was thinking of the peoples liberty" which might come with the Soviet flag flying over Rus sia, quite as decidedly as Trotzky when he spoke those blunt, undipo- matic words
 It is submitted that Trotzky's thought better expresses the feeling of the Soviet than does Tchitcherin's.

ARRANGING PLANS
Edward Conlon Named Chairman and
 Robert Smith Secretary.

The local firemen have commenced making plans for the annual conven- tion of the State Firemen's associa- tion which will be held in the city in August. It has been arranged tenta . lively to have the sessions on Aug ust 16 and IT, but these days may be changed. Captain Michael Souney of Engine company No. 5, president of the state association will not seek a re- election he says.
 At meeting held yesterday by the tiremen, Edward Conlon of Engine company No. was elected chairman and Robert Smith, chauffeur for Chief William J. Noble, was named secre- tary of the committee. There is talk of having a baseball game, banquet and theater party in connec- tion with the entertainment for the visiting firemen.

COMMUNITY AFFAIRS,

It is planned to form community organizations throughout the city al the meetings of which community af- fairs may be discussed and general city matters talked over and explain ed, A great deal has been said and written on the value of such organiza- tions to the city and to the commun- ity and there has been truth in such words. It is obvious that a city will prosper more if there is a wide, in- telligent discussion of its affairs by those who either decide questions di- rectly or by those who place the men in the positions where they de- eide them. ...
 Likewise a community, a part of a city, is able to obtain greater recog- milton and have its welfare looked after more intelligently in the con- mon council, for instance, if it's needs are made known to the council, through united action by an organiza- ton which has studied over it's af- fairs and is able to place the com munity needs in proper light before the council
 But more than this, as people are selfish and self-interest is often an in fuencing motive, it may be well to eyro nh ,ayoa of A1ovnr Doop essa's at the recent meeting of the Nathan Hale Community association He said that it was no great feat to become a leader in the city govern ment.
 Passing over the commendable modesty of the remark, and not paus- ing to comment on the fact that it inn plies sad lack of public interest on the part of some men who should evince such interest, one may assert that the statement is true. So, grant ing that these community organiza- tions are good things for the city and for the communities in which they exist, it may be said further that they furnish a great chance to the individ- lal for advancement There are many people who are interested in such movements from purely unsel- fish motives. They need no arguments to sustain that interest. They take interest because they want to see things 'go well' in the place where they live.
 Others, however, will do well to consider the statement of Mayor Paonessa and realize that almost any man or woman, of honesty and intel- ligence, who devotes time to a study of local conditions and who is active in trying to better them, will gain recognition eventually, and that add ed to the personal benefits that will come to such individuals as the re- suit of the benefits that come to their communities through their efforts, will be that other strictly personal heneft-pubic recognition of the service they have given which has helped the people of the city and their own district

SMALL TRIALC0NTINUES
Today Begins Fifth Week of Trial Case May Drag Along Until Fourth of July.


 Chicago, May 22.-The prosecution in the case of Governor Len Small charged with conspiracy will resume examination of state witnesses today at the beginning of the fifth week of the trial since the selection of the jury was started.
 The state has called approximately 200 witnesses and only dozen of these have been examined. The length of the time the trial will consume is problematical but attorneys for both the prosecution and the defense es- timate that the case will go to the jury by June 10. However some per sons connected with the case are more doubtful and estimate that the trial may last until July 4.
