FIREMEN HAD THREE
CALLS IN TWO HOURS
Saturday Morning Was Busy Time
With the Department

The hremen had an unusually busy
time Saturday morning, being called
cut three times in less than two
hours. The negro cook at Mr.. Lave
ly's apartment let the fame in an oil
stove get beyond control, but a quick
use of the chemical apparatus put out
the fire with no damage except from
smoke.
A blaze on the roof of tenant
house in the southern part OF the city,
occupied by William Jackson, colored,
was very threatening when the fire
fighters reached the place. They soon
had the fire in hand with only slight
damage
Another small blaze in a pile of
rubbish in the back yard at the home
of Mrs. Brown, on Main street, re-
quired only an application OF chemi-

Negro Killed in Gambling
Game Sunday Afternoon
Officers Are Unable to Find Clue
AS to Who Did It.

On the Raines plantation late Sun
day afternoon, Oscar Ryals was shot
to death by some unknown person in
pond thicket on the farm.
Coroner Abrams had Sheriff Woods
to summons a jury for the purpose OF
holding an inquest, but no evidence
was found that threw any light on the
homicide.
Ryals was shot once in the shoulder
anad once in the neck, and is supposed
to have been killed instantly. Pistol
shots we're heard a short while before
the discovery of the body. There were
evidences of gambling at the place OF

New-York tribune., 1922-02-27

Just as the Supreme Court Of the
state decided that municipality had
no power to change the method of
reckoning time, so the Supreme
Court Of the United States might
decide that state had no such
power, seeing that the Constitution
vests in Congress the power "to fix
thc standard Of weights and meas
ures.' Il seems quito probable that
It would do so in any case involving
transactions Of the Custom House,
the postotfice or the internal revenue
service or the conduct of the Fed
eral courts.
The busincsslkc course is for Con-
grcss to establish by law a manda-
tory universal system Of reckoning
time. 1t could also greatly serve the
physical, economic and social we'll
being by enacting r system of day
light saving. The season when such
system should become effective is
now near at hand.

Quit Scrapping, and Dig!

1t is difficult to regard with pa
ticnce the chickering's and delays
which arc marking the progress Of
the North River vchicular tunnel en-
tcrprise. This is one of the most I'M
portant of the public works now in
contemplation in and about the city.
1t is second only to the plans of the
Port Authority, with which, indeed,
it is intimately related. The need Of
it is felt directly by tens Of thou
sands and indirectly by millions.
Yet not only was there delay in
the undertaking, but ever since it
YVES started there has been inccssant
whipsawing from one side or the
other, with an inclination to regard
it as something to be manipulated
for state or municipal or party or
personal advantage There has been
a fear that somebody else might
gain q little more benefit or that an
other party might reap little moro
credit.
The people need the tunnel and
must have it, regardless Of who may
or may not have the credit of pro
viding it. There is now an oppor-
tunity, through supplementing the
Port Authority plans with up-to-
date means of crossing the North
River, TO bring The metropolitan dis
trict up to something like roaliza-
tion OF the possibilities with which
nature endowed it. 1t is time for
iealousies between states or parties
or persons and all sordid designs to
be dropped. 1t is time to quit scrap
ping and to dig.

independence and Citizenship

President Harding's commenda-
ton of the proposal to make the
Fourth of July a sort of "citizenship
day is not to be regarded as sane
tioning any idea that the historic
significance of that anniversary
should be minimized. Independence
Day 1T was and Independence Day it
must remain. The achievement of
independence made American citi-
zenship possible. Without indepen-
dence citizenship would lapse into
worthlessness.
What the President sees clearly,
however, and what every American
citizen should appreciate, is that the
best way to vindicate, commemorate
and perpetuate our independence is
through the cultivation of citizen
ship to the highest possible stand
ard. If we fail to maintain zeal
ously the rights and privileges of
citizenship we sacrifice the oppor-
tunity which independence secured
for US. If we fail to fulfill the
duties of citizenship we repudiate
the obligations which independence
placed upon us.
Such considerations suggest the
of making the Fourth of
July q day for the promotion of citi-
zenship. We could never make good
citizens Of ourselves by merely wav-
ing flags and setting off fireworks
and hurrahing for the patriots of
l776. But by making the best pos
sible citizens of ourselves we shall
inevitably pay the highest Of trib-

as Bella Kun, who had his Red hey

Bill Haywood The Kremlin towers,
from which Napoleon looked down
on burning Moscow, have never been
the background Of q military scene
more fantastic.
The Red army, such as it is, may
be reckoned the solidest achievement
Of Lenine and Trotzky. Industry is
wrecked, the economic structure has
been smashed to smithereens, pro-
duction has ceased, crops are not
raised; but in numbers, discipline
and equipment the army has been
strengthened year by year.
1t is not difficult to understand
why q soldier of the Car is willing
to serve in Trotzky's army-tbe
only escape from starvation. Still,
1t argues an extreme and mysterious
inertia in the Russian people that
the small Communist minority is
able to impose it's will on a ruined
country through a military force
composed in great part of men who
would gladly have substituted their
tyrants for Landru. 1t would be nc
surprising outcome If the army
should find a leader Of energy and

Authority as to Time

The need Of uniform standard
OF time, instead Of the go-as-you-
please system which prevailed last
year, was convincingly set forth a
few days ago by judgment of the
Supreme Court of New Jersey. Last
year the government of that state
did not enact daylight saving law,
but left the standard time un-
changed; whereupon numerous mu-
inequalities adopted local daylight
saving ordinances. One of these was
The city Of Bridgeton.
In that city one business CORPORA
ton brought suit against another.
and the defendant was summoned to
appear IN court on d certain day at
10 a M, the hour set by law for
courts to open. 1t did so at 10
o'clock, standard time, only to find
that the court had opened an hour
before, at 10 o'clock Of daylight say
ing time, and that u Judgment had
been entered by default. Protests
were in vain. The case was closed.
But appeal was made to the Supreme
Court, and that tribunal the other
day annulled the Judgment of the
Bridgeton court on the ground that
the municipality had no power to
alter the time set by state law for
The opening Of court or the time to
which any summons or other legal
writ referred.
The case suggests the possibility
OF many others of like character.

business contracts and what not de-
pend for validity upon the precise
hour Of issue or execution. To as
sure their integrity there must OBJ
viously be a uniform standard Of
time. There will be general acquies-
ccnce in the soundness of the deci-
sion in the Bridgeton case But it is !
conceivable that the same principle /
might be far more widely applied. |

Together Again

History repeated itself at the
LLOYD George-Poincare conference in
Boulogne. Great Britain and France
may seem at tines to be painfully at
odds on quest ons Of European pol
~. Poiucar.'s speech announcing
he formation Of his ministry en-
phasized the rift between the Brit
sh and French points Of view. 1t
hinted at stifening Of the BRAND
attitude of "appeasemcnt" and a
more urgent insistence that Frances
peace needs shall not ac sacrificed to
German or general European peace
leeds.
But Poincar6, in Office. recognizes,
IS Millerand and BRAND did before
him, that French interests and Brit
ish interests in the peace settlement
cannot be disentanged The con-
cert which held together through the
var and shaped the peace cannot be
dissolved now, since France and
Great Britain are the chief respon-
sible fuarantors of the peace settle
fnentx and Of the new balance of
power in Europe which resulted
rom them. There may be sharp,
even irritatcd, differences Of opinion
between the two partners, but the
time has not come for a rupture It
s far better for both to wrangle
~-ithin the alliance than outside it.
"Wc must work together,' Lloyd
'leorgc is reported to have said to
Poincare on Saturday.
q quite agree answered Pom
care; we must work together"
There is The nub of the situation.
Standing together, Great Britain and
France can maintain The peace
status and work out the unsolvcd
problems of the treaty settlements.
Pulling different ways, they would
only reduce Europe to chaos.
The upshot of the meeting was
hat the Genoa conference VIII be
held in April instead Of in March,
and that guarantees viii be secured
that the conference VIII not encroach
on the rights Of the League of Ma
tions, on the treaties signed since the
peace or on the rights of the Allies
reparations. These are safe
guards which France demanded.
Great Britain was willing to con-
cede them both as a matter Of JUS
tice and as means of insurine
French cooperation at Genoa, with
out which no substantial progress
could be made toward either eco
nomic or political tranquilization in
Europe.
Accord has come again out OF dis
cord because neither government car
soberly think of dispensing with the
others cooperation and friendship.

sir: heartily indorsc tho scnti-
mcnts of your correspondent Edward
f Ball, who speaks against the pro-
posed firearms law
The government has for years spent
largo sums Of money to encourage
practice with firearms. renlizing that
shooting skill is tho first requisite for
national defense 1t sells rifles and re
volvers at cost or less; it furnishes
huge quantities Of free ammunition
and sells a great deal more at cost, it
pays the expenses of competitors who
attend the great national rife md re
yolver matches; it gives fine trophies
and special privileges to service mon
who make themselves proficient.
Furthermore. The Sullivan and other
pistol laws do not and can not lessen
crime. Gun totng' is against public
policy, but the right to keep weapon
in tho home or Office is Of 6rst i'm
portance in defending life and proper
ty. Licensing and regulating deter the
honest householder from arming his
home. They do not deter The criminal,
who must have weapons.
recent Brooklyn murder was com
mittcd with gun proved to be twenty
years old. The "frontier model pat
entcd by Sam Colt in 1873, is still the
favorite for very fast drawing and
shooting. Pistols last forever

Loaded with buckshot this weapon
could not miss a man at thirty yards
Remember, the buckahot riot gun was
the most effective weapon Of The

doubly effective for tho criminal. for
he would kno~ that no honest man
would have a weapon to oppose him.
There is but one way to stop the
criminal from carrying a pistol-makc
it safer for linn not to do it. In Eng
land housebreak.ng is punished by d
couple of years Imprisonment, but if
tho housebreaker is armed the penalty
is twenty years. As a result house
breakers arc invariably unarmcd.
If We had laws adding fifteen wears

Of crime if he were armed ut the

Distorted Lights on Life

The rising generation, concerning
which so many idealists, novclists,
thinkers, Utopians and publcists
are worrying, Will settle it's own
problems, If it is too jazzy, too
flippant and too irrcverent of
hoary age it will learn better in its
impending battle with the wolf.
There is nothing like the struggle
for bread and butter to take light
mindedness out of rising gener-
atoms. And with a war debt to pay
in installments extending over long
years the rising generation is going
to have It's troubles
1t can, however, be inclined in the
twig to grow straighter and strong

the adult population is the only
agency for the instruction of youth,
the adult population has consider
able responsibility
A part of this responsibility hes
IN the regulation of what that foun-
tain head of wisdom, Mr. George
AIDE, calls the most powerful inau-
ence in the present day, to wit, the
motion picture. This is not going
to be a dissertation on the opinions
of William A. Brady or the Rev.
John Roach Straton. Its purpose is
merely to call attention to the fact
that millions of young people get
their idea Of life from the movies. 3"
and get a very wrong idea
The movie scenario as a rule re
fleets life as it is seen by the
movie writer and the "movie"
director, neither of whom is an ac-
curate reporter. In quest of the dra
matte and the thrilling they invent
life rather than reflect it. And they
invent a life that has never been
and cannot possibly be.
What Sadie Smith in Walla Walla
learns about the life Of the New
port ''ilapper' isn't the life of the
Newport " "f1apper" at all. It is the life
that two or three people in Holly

probably leads. What Henry Jones

Wall Street magnates conduct
