PUBLIC SAFETY DIsREGARpED.

It ig indeed fortunate that President and Mrs. Harding were prevented from making the trip on the Ohio river. from Cincinnati to Point Pleasant, aboard the river steamer Island Queen. It is proba- bie that they would not have been in- goived iH the accident but there is no leulnE where aboard the vessel they might have been or to what degree their presence would have served to have placed a greater strain upon the craft.
 1t was therefore a wise precaution that was taken in making certain of the sta hl.ty Of the boat upon which they were Co make the river trip. But what seems especially strange under the circum- stances is that 1T the Island Queen was u7- regarded as proper and safe r'camcr Co transport President and Mrs Harding to the birthplace of General Grant for the centennial exercises it should have been permitted to embark slch a large number for the same trip.

Wheat and flour, oats and oatmeal, barley and rye. petroleum in all it's forms, tobac- co and sugar made up the bulk of the S42, 900, 600 worth of merchandise which the United States exported to Ireland in 120, and she paid for it too with the outturn of her own factories, es- pecially linens and other manufactures of flax for which her mills have a world wise reputation and of class which we shall continue to want. Out imports from Ireland in 1920 were S38, GOO, 900 in value or nearly as much as our exports thereto, and they were, all of them, her domestic products chiefly the outturn of her factories.
 In fact, adds the banks statement. the trade between the United States and Ireland in 1920 was greater in

While Ireland has quite naturally drawn a large part of it's imports from the governing country, England and sent the bulk of its exports thereto. our own trade figures show a total of trade with Ireland in the past de- cade of s425,00,0OO, about equally di- vided between imports and exports. and in the past quarter of a century practically billion dollars.
 The United States, adds the Trade Record is one of the few countries which has maintained a separate rec ord of it's trade with Ireland. Until a comparatively recent date the exports to Ireland were far greater. than the imports therefrom, but in the decade immediately preceding the war. the inn ports therefrom equaled and often ex- ceeded the exports thereto.

DEALING WITH CoAL srRTKr-

Tn connection with the coal strike it has been declared that the government would keep it's hands off. apparently for tho purpose Of giving the operators and the miners an opportunity to bring about an adjustment of their affairs without Interference. This attitude was taken it was believed. because it was known that there was a large supply of coal above ground and in storage so that there was no immediate danger of a coal famine or the detrimental results that would ac- company a shortage. In the meantime the anthracite operators and miners have been ln conference without coming to any understanding. and reports from the soft coal fields indicate that production is on the gain and that some separate agree ments are being made between employ CTS and employees.
 It Is to be realized that coal produc- tion cannot be checked indefinitely with put having lt felt by the small as well as he large cogsumer. Such a surplus as here was on the first Of April will not last indefinitely and f the parties direct ly interested cannot get together it Is to be expected that the government will take ga hand and end the dispute with due con- sideration being given to the position of the public
 Possibly that is what prompts the gov c-nment Co make it's statement at the present time that it is working out a plan designed co end the strike and put the mining industry upon a secure basis. Further than that no details are given and no inking Is furnished as to when it is planned Co Dut the plan into effect. It ls declared. however. that the plan Goes not involve federal supervision of the production of coal.

 Dawson. Cloth illustrated, $50 pages
 Published by The Cosmopolitan Book
 Corporation, New York. Price $2.
 In this new book by Coningsby Daw- son there is a departure from his type of books, and yet while it differs it nevertheless displays his exquisite liter ary style and his gift for vivid, ac- curate character portrayal. It is a book with powerful plot, packed with mys- tery and thrilling adventure.
 aThe Vanishing Point is the story of an American traveler-a business man who knew nothing at all about women
 Pinned to his pillow at the Ritz, he found a note on which was written Follow the Widow" And for the first time in his life he discovered in him self an unsuspected capacity for chlv- alrous recklessness.
 He meets one woman whom readers will call either the wickedest in the world or the greatest saint. And finds that to be loved by this particular wo- man has always been more or less like witnessing ones death warrant. He meets another who, as a substitute for passion, had tried saInthood. It hadn't satisfied. Several times he is tempted to take ''the first train bach to sanity, ,'' but has has become too deeply involved in present-day European intrig7les of sort that will open the eyes of the books readers.

Gate of Cedar. By Katherine Morse
 Board. 116 pages. Published by The
 MacMillan Company, New York. Price SIPS.
 'The music will not leave your face
 alone,
 It shapes it as 8 sculptor carves his
 stone
 With touches unimaginabIy delft; It frets it with haggard arcs of pain, Then curves it back to liveliness again It stops, and there is only marble left"
 These lines of Miss Morse's might ha spoken of her own work, for really lovely music has been created by this young poet in this first book of her verse. She writes in meter and rhyme but is dis tinctiy modern in tone and spirit.
 Her music too is pitched in .nanv keys, ranging from that of Dan ko' logg Entertains Shay's Army through lure poems and verse for children more intimate group entitled For s1 Lover" The freshness and sincerity Miss Morse's work should commend to discerning taste.

NEW BOOKS

Maria Chapdelaine. By Lewis Hemon.
 Cloth, 288 pages. Published by the
 MacMillan Company New York. Price
 $2.
 Canadian stories always have a fas- cination and this is particularly true in the case of Louis Hemon's characters because they are of the milder type. Tales of Canadian life vary but the au- thor coming from France to seek his fortune in the west and living for a year and half on a frontier clearing in the wild back country of Quebec, found plenty to weave into an attrac- tive volume during the interval of his toll on the land.
 Marie Chapdelaine is the daughter of a Canadian pioneer. Her lover, Paradis, the trapper, is lost in a Christmas snow storm and Maria's growing hatred of the cruel solicitudes, the wavering of her choice between two other lovers and her final decision not to leave her own peo- pie give a deep feeling of reality to this romance of life in the lonely places.
 It is a story of simplicity; no false note disturbs the harmony and the de- scriptions and c,haracterizations are cleverly drawn.

AUTOS MEET ON CANAL STREET.
Machine Driven by George White Of

A Ford car owned and driven by f.
w. Vinton of Braintree came to grief
at the junction of Canal street and the
Valley fair road between 8 and 10 o'clock
Wednesday morning, when it was in a
collision with car driven by George
White of Colerain, Mass, who was
driving along the Guilford road from
Greenfield.
AS the two automobiles approached
the road to the fair ground George
Bower, traffic officer at that point, raised
his hand as a signal for Mr.. White to
stop and at the same time motioned to
Mr.. Vinton to proceed, which he did.
Mr.. White proceeded also, claiming after
the collision that he did not see Mr..
Bowers signal
The left front wheel of the Vinton
Ford was crushed, while jammed
fender was the only damage to the White
machine. No one was injured, although
both cars were filled with passengers.
Mr.. White acknowledged that he was
at fault and promised to settle for the
damages.
The accident happened when the road.
way in all directions was filed with au-
tomobiles, but the damaged car was re-
moved to the side of the road and traffic
was not badly cOngested.

A BARE POSSIBILITY.

The principal of an eastern school has
tabooed knee socks and rolled stockings.
Strangly enough the edict is not based
upon conservatism but upon the plea
that parents cannot expect their chill
dren to be healthy and progress in
school work when their bodies are ex-
posed to the weather."
A good many people, including par
ents, school children and happers, will
take issue with the idea that barred
knees lead to bodily ills. They might
possibly induce sniffles or sore throat in
extremely cold weather in some cases,
but habit and general health would be
a factor even then.
In the interest of uniform and incon-
spicuous dress it is probably just as well
to have school children of all ages cover
their knees in stockings. Anything
which tends to the extreme or unusual
and hence might distract attention from
lessons is better banished from the
schoolroom. But that health and men
tai progress depend upon covered knees
is another matter. Look at the Scots
