EUROPEAN ARTISTS WILL SEEK PLACES IN FILM
 COLONIES OF AMERICA

ROME. Aug 5. - The troubles of Will Hays only began when he started throwing out films from the movies in America, for, say artists of Europe eagerly, if Hays is throwing out bad films he will surely help to put in good ones. And artists of Europe be- gan packing their bags for migration to America.
 If Hays thinks he is going to have a noble fight all alone in the uplift of the movie he is mistaken. Amer ica, which once enticed Europe as a land where one might earn unheard-of riches (now presents itself alike to old and wearied artists and to young unrostra:ned ones as the country where art will flourish in the next few decades. Futurists, symbolists, su- prematists-all will be sailing several ly to New York. if one may believe their own enthusiastic statements.
 Happily there will be some of the most serious and creative artists among these William Walcot, for in- stance, who can easily be called one of the few great English etchers of today and man whose work is well known to the architects in America, has announced his intention of leaving in September for America.
 q am greatly interested" says Wal cot, "in the possibilities that the films offer, more especially now that there seems to be some wish for better films in America Nothing would be more interesting to experiment with than a fine production of the ancient Roman period of Italian history, with the old color and costume and detail of ar chitecture revivified as one never gets if in the ruins. The imagination finds no limits in the field of films. and It will be in America. l am sure, if any where, that a really beautiful film production will be made possible. shall certainly find out while l am there if the artists of the world are to be chance to create good films in America. We already know that they are welcomed in all other work MT. Walcot, who is Fellow Of the Royal Institute of British Architects is also one of the well-knoWn water colorists of England. He goes to New York with a commission to make etch ings of five buildings, which he Will choose when he gets there. His pre- vious work will be exhibited in New York, Washington, Boston, Philadel

 Trout Scarce

April Foo1,' said the trout in the streams of Fairfield Country last Sat urday when many Bridgeport trout fishers left their warm fireplaces and journeyed to streams above Sport Hill to cast their lines with the expecta- ton that the flesh were going to swal- low hook. line and sinker. They ad- init it was a good April 1st joke.
 Game Warden Wilbur F. Smith made an investigation Saturday and looked over all the fishermen that he met.
 Among the hundreds of fishermen he found only three trout. Local trout fanciers say that the season in Connecticut opens too early and that in other states the season Is not open ed until April 15.
 One of the reasons why the fish refused to come out was the condi- tion of the streams and brooklets which are reported as raging torrents due to the recent heavy rainfall and the melting snow in the northern sec tions of the county. Fishermen also attribute the cold weather as one of the reasons why the fish keep under cover. W. K. Nolan, a famous trout fisher. states that the fish will bite in about two weeks when the weather warns up.

 Part of Agreement.
 This arrangement was a part of the agreement, equally as binding as any other provision, and was duly executed in writing through the at tachment of the signatures of the operators and mine workers repre- sentatives. It was a pledge morally as binding as any bond or promissory note ever executed in a business trans action. The mine workers of the country believed that the coal opera tors signed the agreement in good faith but we now find that they con- tuna cious1y refuse to live up to their agreement They have refused point blank to do as they agreed they would do if they were to refuse to Iquidate their financial obligations it would ne no more dishonorable than their re- fusal to keep their solemn agreement with the mine workers
 'On two occasions since the month of December. 1921, the operators have been formally invited by the mine workers representatives to meet in joint conference at a designated time and place for the purpose indi- cated in the agreement On each occasion our invitation has been re- fused and our efforts have been in vain MT.

Says School
 Board Spends At Own Peril
Declares There Is Grave Question As To Right Of The Apportionment Board To Make Appro- priatiOn.

City Attorney John A. Cornell has climaxed his three opinions given with respect to dental hygiene in the schools with letter addressed to the Board of Education. in which the edu- cational fathers are sternly warned that they had better be careful about spending the money which has been appro- priated to them, lest they are overtallen by peril.
 very keenly the scant consideration which the Board of Apportionment. and Taxation paid to his opinion, given to them regarding the appro- priation of dental clinic funds.
 \ Virtual Demand.
 The Tax Board read the opinion, sfntaphorically consigned 1t to the waste basket and appropriated some $35,00O to the Board of Education, though Cornell had virtually demand ed an appropriation to the Board of Health.
 This morning MT. Cornell made this statement, regarding his letter:
 "A letter was sent to the Board of Education by the city attorney. sug geSting to them that inasmuch as there is a question about the legality of the appropriation made to that board in connection with the Dental Clinic, that it might be well for them to refrain from eXpending any of said money until the matter is settled or a court has determined the question of the validity or invalidity of the appropriation and the consequent of the board to expend the money. This was not in the form of legal opinion, but simply a suggestion so that if it should be determined that the Board of Education does not 1e- gal1y control the appropriation, the members of the board may avoid any embarrassment to themselves by re- money until their right, if it exists, to eNpend same, has been determin- ed"
 Commissioners Opinion.
 Lynn w. Wilson, member of the Board of Education. asked about the situation said:
 Doubtless the courts will have to settle the matter. The board, I am sure, wants to do exactly what is right. It is trying to give due weight to the city attorney. but his views are mum erous and very conflicting and 1t is difficult to Know which of them to ! follow, without ignoring others just as emphaticany stated. The mem bers of the board have taken very of the highest reputation and stand ing and have been assured by these lawyers that it's right to employ and to pay for dental hygiene in the school is beyond question"
 AtoFney'S Letter.
 The City Attorneys letter in full as sent to the members of the Board of is as follows:
 Referring to the controversy rel ative to the control of the admins tration of the so-called dental clinic, and the appropriation which was made for the purpose of administer ing said clinic, it is my understand ing that your board claims to have into contracts with several persons for services in connection with the conduct of said clinic.
 tYou will Undoubtedly understand that there is a grave question as to the right of the Board. of sApportion- meth and Taxation to have made the appropriation in question to the Board of Education, for the purpose

Much opposi- ton to the plan has been fostered by those in favor of new high school on the East Side and it was said this morning that a large number Of AL dermen are against the proposition as presented by the Board of Educa- ton.
 If the project is adopted by the Council, it will be by a very close vote, and probably because of the fact that the Board of Education has the final word in choosing school sites.

The strike of 6OO.0oo coal miners comes at 8 bad time, because it will leave them poorer than they were before, because it is all but impossible for them to win a victory. but main ly because the addition of this large number of workers to the numbers of the idle will make a sharp and exceedingly rapid diminution of un- employment, and a tremendous de- crease in purchasing power, the abil- ity of each man to trade what he has produced for what some other man has produced

Hard times, due to famine, may be described as rational, reasonable or intelligent hard times. A man can not eat, if there is nothing to eat. There cannot be wheat. if the wheat crop has failed. The hard times which occur in the United States are of another sort They grow out of a disorganization of work. Every thing the people need is present. Crops are excellent There Is wheat and corn and potatoes and pie and cake to spare. But there Is unem- ployment. and hunger.

If, now for any reason, a consider able number of unemployed exist, the market will. be diminished. The un employed will have no goods to trade.

Hard times of this sort may be called irrational unreasonable or un- intelligent hard times. because they do not arise from any irremediable sencs of anything to eat but from mere failures to function. such as ex- ists on any farm; where the farmer is 8 poor manager and does not know how to keep his men busy. though there Is plenty for them to do.
