RATHER TRIFLING.

The Mayor of Stamford Is properly exercised over the tragedy of the kill ing of two women by a bus of the Connecticut company. He is abso- lutely justified in calling out for the utmost publicity in an effort to pre- vent such terrible occurrences.
 This newspaper is not in the habit of coddlng to the Connecticut com pany: rather not! But the conduct of the company and it's policies are serious matters and should be con- sidered seriously, free from trifling criticisms which do more harm than good in an attempt to point out what are believed to be errors of the ways of the company. The Mayor of Stam- ford wishes the alleged fact called to the attention of the legislature that the engineer of the public utilities commission was the guest of the Stamford Connecticut company men
 
 how the people can get square deal from the utilities commission and prevent such lamentable accidents if members of the utilities commission are fraternizing with officials of the Connecticut company.
 Association with the utilities com mission need not prevent men from being entertained by the Connecticut company's men nor by drivers of jitney buses nor by friends of those who have a complaint against the company. There may be question of good judgment involved, or one of the "looks of things" But when the attention of the legislature is sought in regard to some action of engineers of the public utilities commission, the matter should be a more important one than that of attending an enter tainment

SWEDEN RECOVERING FROM
 INDUSTRIAL DEPRESSION
Unsettled Labor Conditions in Wood and Iron Fields Only Ominous
 Cloud on Horizon

Stockholm, April 17.--The clearing up process of the years of depression has laid a firm foundation for inn provement and general prosperity in Sweden, and the critical period of li- quidation has passed through it's final phase, according to the official eco- homie review of the first quarter of this year, which has just been issued by the Swedish board of trade.
 Significant facts set forth in the re- view are the stabilization in indus trial stocks since the beginning of the year, and the notable rise in industrial production, though labor conflicts and the Ruhr situation have caused tenn porary reaction. Considerable progress has been shown, especially by the lumber, wood pulp, and paper indus tries. The iron, steel and machine shop industries, however have had only a slight increase in production.
 The number of business failures and bills protested has been steadily de- ,creasing, The banks report that the withdrawal of savings by small deposi- tors has now been reduced to normal proportions.
 Some alarm. however, is caused by the present labor conflict, which in- Wolves G5,000 men in the wood and
 iron industries. If prolonged this strike may materially influence Swe- den's exports during 1923, and may cause rise in prices for these Swe- dish staple products for which the marketing prospects are otherwise good.
 A statistical analysis Of Sweden's total foreign trade for 1922 based on volume instead of values. shows that both exports and imports have been increasing since the middle Of 1921, and at the end of last year had pass ed the normal line for 1913. This. the review says, is one of the most trust worthy evidences that normal condi- tions in foreign trade have been re- stored.

When you're riding On the pillows
 Of prosperity and joy; When there's nothing much To bother you, and nothing To annoy;
 Then you feel That this great world Is just a nut For you to crack; You are much Too big a man for Pumpkinville or Hackensack. But when everything You tackle seem to Buck you black and blue; When you're battered, Beaten. broken Till you don't know What to do; When a smile Is quite stranger And the whole world Seems to frown--- Then's the time That it looks good to you The old, home town.
