This Is tho belief Of Edward r

He. proposes 10 construct eight
gigantic stations which will be

methods which he has perfected It

stations in fixed places and stabilize
them so that they viii be free from

most mammoth ocean liners are

Each station or 'seadrome" will
be 1900 feet long. 400 feet wide. and
have a platform OF III acres on
which the seaplRnes VIII ahght. A
crew Of about 1875 men will be
stationed on each seadrome. There
will be complete radio-telephone and

broadcasting stations. meteorological
bureau. aeroplane repair shop and
hotel accommodations for overnight
guests. Between stations huge
buoys-one every so miles-luumi-
mated at night by acetylene gas will
mark the course Of this new White
Way.
The planes will leave the American
terninal-say at Atlantic City

leave the English termlnal-possibly
at Plymouth-daily. Each plane

MIR. HOLMES STATEMENT

In the news columns of The Herald today appears an article written at the request of this newspaper by Stanley H, Holmes, superintendent of public schools in New Britain. It is com prehensive anaylss of problem which is torturing mems minds how can we give boys and girls the education to which they are entitled and at the same time avoid an un- bearable taxation burden? Al first glance it seems that the problem is similar to the old perplexing condi- ton created by the contact of an ir- resistible force and an immovable body. MT. Holmes takes more op- timistic view of the difficulty. He be- lieves in going through the rock in the road instead of around it by placing responsibility for education where he believes it belongs-on the state.
 New Britain has been expending a great amount of intense thought on the education tax problem. Critics of the school administration, some of them whose motive is not above ques- ton and others who are sincere, are crying for Moses to lead us out of the ft1aucia1 wilderness PerbapS Mir Holmes article may help them. It de- serves consideration because, of all the opinions on the subject, it is the only lucid view thus far expressed which takes into consideration econo- mics and our moral obligation toward the growing generation.

GERMANY ON THE SEA

Few things would be more distastc-
 full to this newspaper than to throw bouquets at German out Of admiration
 for her. Occasion has been taken,
 however. to emphasize her ingenuity and returning strength for the pur- pose Of trying to impress the fact that Germany is not land not to be reck- oned with. From time to time, through the haze of separations dis cussions, comes news that startles from the fact that it dscloses how encrgetically Germany has been herself economically and physically. Germany has been re-equipping all her industries and is now probably the most efficient man. featuring country in the world" is the statement of an English au- thority on maritime matters in speak ing of the return of Germany as a competitor in the sea carrying trade of the world.
 When the war broke out Germany possessed more than 5,000,000 tons of After the war she was left with about 100000 tons of steam tonnage. Today" says the same au- thority, 'as result of the thrift and industry of her workers. she possesses a merchant fleet of about 2,500,000 tons, and by the end of the present year will own about 3.000,000 tons" She is buying tonnage from England and the United States. for cash.

AN IAIPOTENT LAW

This comment is not concerning the Volstead act which has been held con
 stitutional. but which has proven al-
 most impossible of enforcement. This
 comment is concerning the bill favor
 cd by the judiciary committee and
 placed before the legislature, that tells a man he may be sent to jail for publicly displaying timepiece, will fully, which shows other than East ern Standard time.
 Comments upon the bill have been many; it has been almost universally disapproved by the press of the state Lawyers have questioned its validity, even though those lawyers do not like the daylight saving time.' It would produce confusion confounded if it became a law and was upheld by the court. Since representatives of one sixth of the people compose our law making body, and those representa- tives, coming from rural communities favor standard time, it is probable that the bill will pass the lower house, if not the senate. The will of sixth of the people, therefore, may be inn posed on the other five sixths--if the bill is upheld
 But let this be stated unequivo- cably:As long as the courts of this state render decisions in accordance with the spirit of the constitution of this state and the constitution of the United States, such q law will never be held constitutional. It may be doubt ful if the bill will fail to pass both houses; it may be doubtful if any test case will be brought But it is not doubtful, if such case is brought, but that the courts will hold such an in reference with the personal rights of the people to be directly opposed to the principles upon which this coun- try was founded and is, therefore im- potent as being absolutely unconsti- tutional.

 selling papers in some of the hours
 when morning. papers are sold, is
 strong for the boys, One has often
 been taken in by these small beg
 gars, and contributed, thinking the
 lads were honcst--as some of them are. But even honesty, when 1t takes the form of begging is not especially elcvating. Perhaps those interested in boys and their welfare might find q field here that would stop the lads
 from learning how easy il Is to fool the generous public. Certainly 1t would seem 10 be more worthy field than that of trying to stop tho boys from learning how satisfactory it is to help the family purse through energy, carly rising and square busi- ness dealing, The managers of the movie houses cannot stand outside and look ont for these lads, This newspaper is not advocating a de- termined, vicious campaign against them, with severe punishment. Atten- ton is called to these embryo "livers by their wits" for the purpose of comparing them to the boys who want to play the game in the square way. but whom good-intentioncd people are trying to discourage.

THE NEW BRITAIN ELKS

To New Britain lodge of Elks which observed its eighteenth birth day anniversary last night, greetings and congratulations.
 For nearly d score Of years, the Elks have taken leading part in the social life of New Britain. They are good fellows" and the public gener- ally knows them as such. But it is for the good they have done that we slap them on the shoulder and sta Tt them on their way in the nineteenth year of their existence.
 Only the members of the lodge are aware of the thousands of dollars spent to relieve suffering and distress among those who needed relief. The money silently passed to the widow and the orphan, the Christmas tree for the "kiddies" to whom December 25 would otherwise be only date on the calendar and the bounteous din- ners quietly left on doorsteps with an Elk's blessing-these are reasons why the lodge is deserving of the good will of the public.

THE TWO-PLATOON

When something comes to us which we have long desired we arc not to blame flor going on record as being happy in the event. Today the wo-platoon system is in force, and the people of this city should realize that they have now placed the fire protection of the city on its proper basis, to say nothing of the humane action of treating the firemen as per sons who, like other workers, should have their ''off hours in which to enjoy life as, we are proud to say, men and women of America enjoy it.
 These things being realized, there should not be man of woman or child, even, to whom should not come a greater feeling of satisfaction and comfort in this recognition of the men who have never failed to give their best to the protection of lives and property in this city.

THE HARTFORD DISASTER

Again tho compelling impulse comes to express horror over the re- suits of terrible disaster, this time near home, and to give vent to ones concern over the appalling increase in the numbers of such catastrophes as the one at the Fuller Brush company tower in Hartford. And yet what may be accomplished by expressions of re- gret that at least nine persons have met death suddenly through some cause the reason for which. probably, no investigation" will disclose. Words of sympathy to those near to the vic- tims bring little relief although ordin- ary humanity. compels their utterance. It is possible, as it is always possi- ble in such cases, that desire to save costs of building material on the part of someone connected with the con- struction is responsible. It is possible that some human vice is to blame. Before the suffering and death of in- nocent people those whom the dis aster did not touch stand helpless ex- cept. for the chance to ponder over the spectacle and determine that they. at least, will never abuse condence. whether that confidence is placed in them as they build material struc- whether confidence is placed in them in other ways, the abuse of which more value, cven than life from those who confided in them.

COMMUNICATED
BE CHEERFUL!

It was only several days ago that many of us overheard severe com- plaints about the weather, the long winter and the continual cold.
 It is to be hoped that these same people thanked God for this beautiful spring morning, rather than accepted it as a matter of course. How many of us went to work with Browning on our lips and remembered how little Pippa sang through her only holiday, bringing God to the souls Of those about her?
 "The years at the spring
 The days at the morn
 Morning at seven
 The hilsides' dew pearl
 The larks on the wing
 The snais on the thorn
 Gods in his heaven
 Ans right with the world"
 But why not always be cheerful and happy in spite of the weather?
 Mornings when you awake be thankful you are alive and can be busy. Recite Coues' famous sentence; do your Daily Dozen in front of an open window taking deep breaths' take your cold shower and rub down; keep physically tit---and then through the day our heart will say, 'Tis luck enough to live"
 Remember-"youth is but life rum ming through your veins if your heart only says so."

THE OTHER KIND OF BOY

Some people are much concerned over the awful fact that some young
 lads rise very early in the morning to sell papers to help themselves or their families financially. They are energetic little chaps, driven by the sort of energy and ambition that often ence and authority in later life. No one claims that their future success would not have come had they not sold papers in their early youth-and if boy is going to be success at selling morning papers, for instance, he has to get up early or his market Is impaired. But certainly the habits of punctuality and business he ac- quired achieving success in the news paper selling business do not take away from his ability to succeed later. But this comment is not concerning these little merchants who grow stur- dy early in life and who develop that Individuality one loves to call Amer ican."
 This comment is concerning anoth- CT sort of boy, about whom the good people do not seem to be concerned at all. Quite possibly the proponents of the suggestion to prevent these early-in-the- e-morning newsboys from working do not believe that such in- dividuals as proprietors of moving picture houses ever philosophize about boys or ever think what is good or what is bad for them. They, the movie men, are not "reformers" nor are they welfare workers" as the words are ordinarily applied. And yet it is from one of these movie-men, expressing the sentiments of others Of his business, that it is learned many boys make business of stand ing in front of the movie houses. not on the property controlled by the pic 'ture people, and soliciting pennies from patrons and others on the plea, occasionally or habitually, that they ! need just a few more pennies to have | enough to go to the show. It is said i by man who should know, that , one small lad collected something over g in this way in about two hours and ayhalf the other evening. |

For Connecticut: Rain tonight and Wednesday,; warmer tonight, colder Wednesday afternoon or night; in- creasing south and southwest winds probably becoming strong.
 Conditions: A disturbance which is central this morning over Illinois is causing unsettled weather with rain or snow in the Mississippi valley and western portion of the Lake region. The front edge of the rain area was as far east as Ohio. Pleasant weather prevails along the Atlantic coast.
 Conditions favor for this vicinity increasing cloudiness followed by rain and somewhat lower temperaturs.
