INCREASED BUILDING

Roger Babson's statements and predictions have been verified locally | with decided emphasis by the giving out of the figures showing the present building situation. It was known that there was greater activity on this
 line at present than was in evidence a year ago, but that the building inspectors report would show more than twice the amount of building proposed in the month of September over the number of permits issued in that month year ago was scarcely anticipated.
 MT. Babson has commented on the effect of this improvement in the building business. As his statement indicated that figures would show such increase whey they were avail able, and as it has been proven cor rect, so should his other deductions be taken as likely to be fulfilled He has insisted that residential struc- lures, farther removed from the cen ters of cities, would go up in great numbers. The conviction grows stronger that the more than doubled building permit figures make this prediction one which may be relied upon and influenced by which people having money to invest may act.
 Last month the total amount planned to be spent in this work of building was over $5o0.00o, all but about s11,OoO of which is to go into new structures, the smaller amount being planned for alterations. This situation shows not a desire to fix things up' for more proptious time for building, but rather a deter imitation to build for the future" When a. city evinces that attitude great things may be expected

sentiment in Plainyille among all classes of voters is overwhelmingly Tn favor of Sunday movies And there seems to be no reason why Plainviile should not be accepted as typical or New England towns of its size, Thus 1t may be said that people Of New England today favor such entertain ments being held on Sundays, TOT certainly were vote in the cities to be taken 1t would not be more Tn favor of closing movie theaters on Sunday than was the vote In Plain vile.
 This situation discloses a decided change in New England sentiment Either people have come to believe that there is no harm in moderately liberal Sunday, or they feel that the Sunday movie is one of the lesser of the present day evils or there is decided reaction In evidence from the traditional New England con- science"

world men and women are getting married only to have the pleasure and publicity of getting divorces, scan ye the divorce records of Hart ford county for the last two years, And in the picture which arises from such contemplation of statistics be- hold the burning of home fires. ever growing more numerous, and behold a checking of the scattering of the embers of dead fires of connubial bliss.
 For divorce is decreasing In Hart ford county All those who wed are advised to come to Hartford county to live-and to feel that the chances of remaining happy here are greater than elsewhere. There were 257 fewer divorces in the period between July, 1921, and July, 1922, than there were last year and there were 106 fewer divorces between July, 1920, and July. 1921, than the year before that. Next year it Is quite possible that there will be 400 fewer divorces than there were this year-and so on ad infinitum until the time comes when the vanishing point is reached. Of course harsh words will be spoken always between loving husband and loving wife. Some people may go so far as to insist that 1t would make for more peaceful community were some couples to be separated quite as far as possible. But the general impression remains in the mind of the student of statistics that Hartford county married couples are having great deal more pleasure, together, than formerly. So, pessinists, take heart.

AUSTRALIAN MORTALITY

Death Rate Among Soldiers is Seven
 and Three-Quartcrs Per Cent Psr
 Annum.
 Sydney, N. s. w., Oct. 3.-The rate of mortality among soldiers ab- sent from Australia during the world war was approximately seven and three-quarters per cent per ar,- mum as compared with approximately one-half per cent per annum fo1 8 body of men of similar age under normal Australian conditions. accord ing to the report just issued by the Commonwealth Statistician.
 In the calculations all deaths abroad were taken into consideration except those after discharge from the service. The total deaths abroad were 58,s50 and, the number of years of exposure to risk of death abroad was computed at 7s1,o00, which is mortality rate of 7.3 per thousand per annum. H.
 In the South African campaign of 1s9s-19o2, the mortality rate for all British troops was 3S.7 a thousand a year or less than four per cent a year. while in the Crimean war of 1s54-55, the mortality amonS Brttish forces was IS and one-half per cent per annum, the statistician's report said. 4r.... ... -l. =.

40 Nations Will Be Represented at

Evanston. H., Oct. 3. The worlds Women's Christian Temper ance Union, which will hold its tenth convention at Philadelphia, Novem- Der 11-16, has 100000 members of 40 nationalities, according to state ment from headquarters here of the national organization. The first presi- dent of the international organization was Margaret Bright Lucas, sister of John Bright, British prime minister. Her successors were Frances E.

SUNDAY ENTERTAINMENT.

A significant vote was cast in Plainville last Friday night. Out of about 1850 legal voters in the town 224 voted on the question as to whether or not Sunday moving pie lures should be allowed. Of these PA there were 14S in favor of allow ing the entertainments and 76 op- posed. There were probably more than 100 women among the voters. Whether a majority of the women favored the allowing of the pictures or not is a question. It is said, how ever, that many women declared they would prefer to have their children at the movies, even on Sunday than hanging about the streets.
 It is said also that the opposition was led by the active members of the churches, the w. c. T. L. and possibly other organizations.
 The action is of interest outside of Plainville. The question is one which interests people everywhere. It is to be noted that somewhat less than one-sixth of the people of this com munity-the voters-were sufficiently interested to vote. It is to be pre- stunned that of that one-sixth whose interest could be aroused, the reform element, opposing liberal Sunday, was as strong as 1t would be possible to make it in that town. In other words there were more who did not vote but who would have voted for the Sunday movies than there were, among those who did not vote, that would have opposed it. It is always easier to stir reformers to activity than it is to get more easy going people to exert themselves.
 Ifsthese deductions are correct the

INDIFFERENT ID
 OUTSIDE PROGRESS
Turbuai Is an Island Where Time
 Is Completely Forgotten

Honolulu. T. H., Oct. 3.-The islt where time is forgotten is Tubuai Austral group, about 200 miles south of Tahiti, where the popular dream l of a languid, lazy South Sea exist. ence really comes true, according tc Robert T. Aitken, scientist of the Bishop Museum, who has just re- turned from two years of investiga. ton in Tubuai in connection with the museums efforts to trace the origin of the Polynesian race.
 Utter indifference to progress or to the outside world Is another prom inent characteristic of the residents and their entire social and industrial program appears to be composed of eating. sleeping, talking and fishing, he said. Taro- planting, the basis of South Sea food, poi and fishing are the main occupations.
 Aitken related as one example Of the indifference to time, his experi- ences in travelling between two islands. After a weeks delay in starting, his party set sail, and the distance of go miles was covered after eight days on the open water. The return trip was postponed for a week, although a stop of only one day had been scheduled
 The captain was careless in allow ing leeway and missed his objective by 40 miles, an error that cost three of the eight days travelling time. Frequently schooner, blown from it's course by the hurricanes which rise suddenly during the summer months, will wander about for weeks before finding its true position. All schooners are required to carry sex tants but frequently this instrument will lack lenses. On many vessels the chronometer is an alarm clock, set regularly each morning at sunrise.
 The population of Tubai is only several hundred. most of them being of pure Polynesian blood, with some mixture of Caucasian and Chinese. About 80 percent of the people are protestant and attend church twice every Sunday, and a regular song service each Wednesday, according to MT. Aitken. The remaining 20 per cent. are divided among the Catholic and two branches of the Mormon church.

THE HUMAN SIDE.

While we are urging quite prop erly that the great nations of the | world which stand for justice and right should hesitate to precipitate another war, and while we should not be moved to encourage action that would add horrors of warfare to the present world tragedies, the human side of the situation in the Near East should ever be in mind It is not for the purpose of narrowing the feelings needlessly that the picture of the suffering in Smyrna is drawn in vivid colors by those who have seen 1t in life, The situation is presented as it actually is so that there may be created sentiment which will de- mand the exercise of the greatest possible influence to bring relief to a stricken people.
 A woman, Dr. Esther Lovejoy, tells of some of the awful tragedies of smyrna. She represents but name to most people in this part of the country. But those who know her and read what she has to say of con- ditions there, see strong, fine, earnest, woman constitutionally free from hysteria, telling in simple lan- guage the plain truths which she would not distort in order to bring effect. The Turkish lash. she says, answers the cries of the Christian refugees for water and for food, Babies are born, suffer, and die in a few hours, their lifeless bodies held long in the arms of crazed mothers So awful is the situation that some of the Turkish officers show compass sion for the victims of their own soldiers,
 As one man, one group of men and women cannot relieve all the suffer ing of a great city, because of human limitations and the demands that must be met by each member of that group, so one nation, one group of nations, even, may not relieve all the suffering of the world because of the necessity of keeping peace and free dom from pain among those human beings to which those nations are directly responsible. But as one man. one group of men and women may influence a whole city toward pre- venting tragedy and relieving pain and sorrow, so may one nation, group of nations bring all influence to bear toward justice and peace until such time comes when that influence will dominate the world. Never for a moment in this country should there be forgotten the anguish of the victims of Turkish power today. We can do little now, but we can cultivate that frame of mind which brings a broader vision of our rights and duties to the rest of the world, to humanity

LOCAL COAL SITUATION.


 We are all worried over the loca coal situation. The warm weather o' the past few days has only bunted the sharp point of that anxiety tenn porarily We hear that dealers else where have agreed to charge less than is being charged here; we hear that in cities near New Britain the price over that of last year has been raised only one dollar We can not see any reason why New Britain dealers should not be able to sell as low as that, at least.
 There is a local fuel administrator whom all respect, He says the deal CTS are justified at present in charging SIS to $20 a ton-which. of course, means the higher sum as a rule. The local coal dealers are men whom all respect. They say they have to charge SIS to s2O a ton.
 We are angry about it. The irrita- ton is not confined to any one group of people. We are all in it-it affects us all although the suffering of the very poor who cannot raise the price necessary will be greater than the inconvenience of those who can manage somehow, and greater than the irritation of those to whom the few dollars difference is not im- portant.
 But in spite of our anger we must be fair about it. Either we must assert that our local coal dealers are not telling the truth and are far less honest than dealers in other cities, and also that they must have been able to pull the wool over the eyes of our local administrator or that he is dishonest and in league with those dealers, or else we must admit that we are glad the dealers did as they say they did-buy coal "at any price" in order that there might be some hard coal in this city for those willing to pay the price. The dealers are not urging people to put in large supply of coal at these high prices. They are either frankly explaining the situation-saying that they did pay big price for coal because they feared they would not be able to get enough company coal" at lower price to meet the demand for coal at any price-or they are not telling the truth about 1t. Most of us prefer to believe in the intelligence and hon. esty of our coal dealers and our local fuel administrator, in which case we are glad that we can get some coal even if We have to pay high price for it. We are inclined to- believe, too that dealers in other cities who have agreed to sell at a lower price are talking about the coal they expect to get from the regular sources, not about coal which they have on hand now. If this is not the case it cer- tainly behooves the fuel administrator to look into the matter and see why they are able to undersell New Britain dealers.
