CHILD KILLED BY
 TWO GREAT DANES.
Dogs Attack and Mangle Little
 New York Boy '

New York, July 2S.-Althongh half dozen men were beating them with stones and clubs, two Great Danes yesterday attacked a nine-year-old boy so sayagely as Florham Park, North Bergen. N. J., that his jugular vein was severed and he bled to death The boy. Joseph Gennatt, Jr., of 414 West street, West Hoboken, had slipped through the fence gate in hope of getting something to eat from a picnic table. With him were his brother, Albert, 10, and John Sinieoni. 10. They had been playing in the meadows near by and were returning home when the thought struck Joseph that they might find few crumbs in the picnic park.
 Joseph unlatched the wooden gate and slipped in, his companions fol- lowing. Two Great Danes, stationed as guards against intruders, leaped at him.
 / Before Joseph, screaming in terror, could turn back, the dogs had bounced on him and beaten him to the ground. The boy struck back desperately but his weak blows had no effect as the dogs sank their teeth in his face and hands and body.
 The other two boys stood against the gate stricken with horror unable to move. <
 For an instant Joseph managed to squirm loose. But he was so weak with, his wounds that he could not scramble to his feet. He, started to crawl Imply toward the gate when the enraged animals attacked him again.
 By this time about 75 persons had rushed to the park. Automobilists hurried to hte fence. But only half a dozen men tried to save the boy. They pounded the dogs with rocks and sticks, and a few with their hands.
 When the dogs had finally been beaten back, the boy had bled to- death. His jugular vein had been severed. fE
 The sight of his body seemed to en4 rage the Great Danes anew, and for a moment it seemed they wer about to attack tn terrified onlookers. But a park attendant hurred to the scene and called them off.
 The North Bergen police arrested Adalph Bentz, owner of the dogs and lessee of the park, on an open charge.
 Joseph is one of nine children. His father is a marine engineer employed by the United States lines.

WOMAN IN THE CASE IN DENVER BANK SHORTAGE
Four Prominent Young Men Locked Up When Accounts Are Found
 Short Over $4O0,0OO

Denver, July 2S.-Doors of the Hi- bernia Bank and Trust Go. are closed and three young men prominent in Denver financial circles spent last night in jail following the discovery of a shortage in the banks funds es- timated to be between $4oo,oo0 and sb00,Ooo.
 Those taken to jail were Leo P. Floyd, secretary of the company, John Harrington, teller, son of the vice. president and R. Mandell, head of Mandell and Co.,. investment brokers
 Detectives say that a woman in the case" is being sought. Her name was not revealed.
 There will be an investigation au- thorities said, into what they termed "tip-off' which enabled favored de- positors to withdraw about $40, ,000 from the bank before notice was post ed that it was in the hands of the state banking examiner.
 Last Tuesday examiners pronounced the banks records satisfactory Ac- cording to the last statement the Ill., bernia had deposits of $1,373,729.

pABsoN BLAMEs THE YOUNG

Roger Babson admits present pros- perity. It will be remembered that he predicted. not long ago, good business through this year anyway and now he declares ''my critics are correct in their statement that surface indica- tions point to wonderful business this fall, and perhaps two or three years of rising prices. I realize these rising figures" he goes on, "as we'll as anyone and it is very hard for me to sound warning while so many are so optimistic and so contented." This criticism to which he refers is that of the extremely optimistic who refuses to agree with him that a period of readjustment is coming.
 But today Rober Babson, in way somewhat to similar to that of Wood row Wilson, commented upon in an- other column, does not like the spiritual forces" underlying business. bdDsOH IL was "llo uCSi"iDu 1itA" 'AiS country would never return to the normal until the old spirit of honesty returned, honest work for honest, fair pay, and a desire to deal squarely. Now he says that the people today do not want to produce; they are inter- ested in spending. "America's great need is a revival of the joy of work; the desire to serve; thehabit of sav- ing" And this lack Babson sees chiefly in the new generation.
 Whatever warning" Mr. Babson issues, and admitting his shrewdness in prophesying, we may feel pretty secure in business today when he re- peats his words showing good present conditions in that the merchants are not over-stocked, the manufacturers have not been speculating in raw ma- terial, banks have good resources, check transactions are normal, rail- road earnings are exceptionally good and our great industries are apparent ly on sound basis.

STATE MOTOR COURTESY.

Of course all states will return courtesy for courtesy eventually in the matter of allowing motorists from other states to have the same rights as their motorists are given in those oher states--the rights as to driving for limited periods without obtaining licenses, etc. Ohio has given Con- necticut people that privilege for 15 days as this state gives people from Ohio that right.
 But there is another little matter to suggest to the authorities of some of the states other than our own Connecticut. We are not perfect here by any means. We kill lot of people and we injure a great many by careless driving, We are fighting recklessness in driving all the time. But we are much more consderate, much less reckless than people in other states. It will be remembered that in the last three years the acci- dent rate throughout the country has increased AZ per cent. while here in Connecticut 1t has been reduced 2 per cent That is because we are fighting for more care all the time and we continue to do so. Other states, part of the whole country should remember that in all prob- ability the driver of a car bearing a Connecticut license number is moE careful than the drivers of cars from other states. So motorists of other states, seeing a Connecticut number, should observe greater care than is their custom, and, incidentally, Con- necticut motorists, in other states, should maintain the reputation Con- necticut has gained for decreasing its accident rate while the whole country has been increasing it.

JUST COMMON SENSE.

With all due respect to legal learning and ability to split hairs, one may well be glad to note plain, or dinary common sense wherever it appears in high places. The rules of evidence, for instance-what Is ad- missable and what is not-are most preplexing in law. A great lawyer once said that it was impossible to master them all absolutely, but that man might be able to tell what was good evidence and what was not if he would only use plain, common sense in trying to decide.
 A bit of splendid common sense appeared the other day in connection with the immigration law which has produced so many examples of decid- edly common nonsense. A baby was born on a British vessel carrying the infants parents to this country. They were Polish. and were admissa hle, but the baby, being born on a British ship came under the head of the British quota and was not admissible as that was exhausted. So they were going to keep the baby just born, out of the country.
 But Immigration Commissioner Curran declared, when consulted, that babies born at sea on vessels flying foreign flags will be admitted to the United States despite "any- dismal old law" T looked at those two little babies" he went on, referring to another infant born at sea, 'in their

@NEvER MIND. AFTER ALL"

An interesting situation has come to light out in Michigan. Some good people out there wanted the dance halls, movies and billiard halls closed on Sundays so they began to fuss about them They went to the pros ecuting attorney with their troubles He seems to have sympathized with them most heartily--and then some Sure" says he in effect, we'll close : 'em, and we'll close everything we can While we're at it, though. we've got to see that all other old laws are observed There'll be the places where you can get drink of soda to be closed up and the bathing beaches. Then we'll have to stop the distribution of the local newspaper on Sunday. and we'll have to make people stop playing golf on Sunday" And" the Mayor chirps in, ''the people driving automobiles for pleas ure on Sunday vii have to be ar rested.'
 Wouldn't you think the good people out there would be delighted to have such cooperation from the prosecut- ing attorney and the mayor? Sure you would. But it seems the chair man of the group of good people out in Michigan hemmed and hawed a bit and allowed that she didn't like wholesale complaints for vio- lations. We just wanted the law enforced against Sunday dancing, movies and billiard parlors," remark ed one of the good people. Tn other words she didn't want anything stopped except the things she and her friends wanted stopped. Of course anything she might like to do, such as driving an automobile for pleasure on Sunday was all right even if against some old blue law, just be- cause she wanted it. Quite probably the matter will end by the representa- tive of these good people going to the Mayor and the prosecuting attorney, smiling sweetly, and saying Never mind about the closing business, after all"

THE ONLY WAY

You can't change human nature!" Long has this statement been accepted as the truth. But you can change hu- man nature-or rather human nature can change itself; does change itself as witness the changes that have taken place since the day of the cave man. True, the essentials remain the same--the old fundamentals of in- stinct for shelter, protection and propagation. But the means of &C., complishing these do change and are changing all the time.
 The matter of protection is upper most in thinking mems minds at this time. We seek protection against the devastation of war. Prizes are offered for the best means of obtaining this protection. All sorts of schemes are suggested. Senator Johnson comes home from Europe insisting on isola- ton as the only way we in this coun- try may be safe. Others advocate the League of Nations, the World Court. Disarmament, or great armament the two extremes, are favored by many.
 Hesitatingly practical men have suggested that return to right thinking on the part of all the people would bring this peace to the world. But cynics-and most of us are cynics -scof at the possibility of lion and lamb together in harmony.
 It has been stated in these columns that the real spirit of Christianity. re- gardless of creed, will eventually be the solution of the worlds troubles, possibly through the League, possibly not People smile: Impossible" they declare. Atheists and agnostics scoff but the fact remains that the one greatest force in the world today, and the one that has accomplished most for the betterment Of the world is the force Of the teachings of Jesus Christ. By some they are not credited to Him. Let that go. Other beliefs-the good in them-run parallel to those teach ings. And now it is aagin stated that those principles will be the determin- ing factors in the peace that must come to the world-else it perish.

 This is delightful. A little less fear of precedent and a little more broad interpretation of the law founded on true principles of common sense would be welcome in other quarters. And be it said out of fairness to the biggest judges of the country their minds usually work that way.
