SOMETHING FOR NOTHING.

Occasionally people do get some
thing for practically nothing. The ex-
pense, for instance, of educating a
man in GU rpublic schools, or, to les
ser extent in our great colleges is
far greater than the amount paid by
the parent or than the tuition charge.
But somebody pays. In the case of
colleges there are endowment funds.
Suspicion should attach always to
an offer to give something for moth
ing. 1t is proper that the Mayor of
the city take an interest in the affair
of the young man who sought to
learn aviation from the organization
which planned to Make America
First in the Air." but who finds now
that in order to do this he must do
certain work in the interests of the
organization and, possibly, pay out
some money. Possibly the organiza-
ton is all right; possibly not. No &C
cusations are made here, nor is any
defense of the organization intended.
The letters of the association, and the
terms of the offer in full are not at
hand. But it is remembered that this
newspaper carried story which did
imply that the organization proposed
to give this tuition by increasing the
membership of it. 1t now appears
that this young man was required to
raise $500 through 100 memberships
costing IS each. This, of course, is in
line with the story published.
Unless an offer of free tuition or
free anything else comes from the
Federal, State or Municipal Govern
ment the strings to the offer should
be looked for.

ENGLAND'S SLIGHT ERROR.

Reports from England indicate that
she believes President Coolidge will
favor cooperation with her even il
England takes a stand differing from
that of the other allies. England
seems to believe that the United
States would send experts to discuss
the reparations payments even if the
invitation came from England alone;
that the United States. under Presi-
dent Coolidge. will go farther than it
would have done under the late Pres
ident Harding.
This is a sad error on England's
part. 1t may be unintcntional; it may
be a deliberate attempt to feel pub
lie sentiment here. Getting right down
to cases Secretary of State Hughes has
just let it be known that President
Coolidge will stick to the position of
the Harding Administration as out
lined in the Secretary's New Haven
speech. In that there was no intima-
ton that the United States would give
the services OF her experts unless
there was an invitation from all the
allies. AS it is frequently said that
nation may expect no fsvors from an
other until she puts her own house in

USING SURPLUS ENERGY,

Fortunately or unfortunately there
are many good people in the world
who are not content to give all their
time to the work in hand or the Gull
tiyation of knowledge, but who are
on the lookout always for something
which fought to be fixed" Whether
or not they have any business to go
about fixing things need not be
discussed. They do, and that's all
there is to it. These people must
have, apparently, some outlet for their
surplus energy in looking out for the
personal affairs of others. Much good
has come from welfare work.; much
harm, say some people.
Most of the people of the city are
familiar with the pier which COL
lapsed Thursday at Momauguin;
many of them have stood upon it..
All are relieved to find that there
were no serious accidents when the
collapse came. The falling of that
pier is taken as an illustration of the
point to be made, not because it was
a pier, but because it represents a
line of activity which might well be
taken up by these people who are SO
anxious about the well-being and
safety of others. There is no inten-
ton of suggesting that they go about
the country seeking shaky piers which
endanger the lives of many. But the
New Britain herald. [microfilm reel] (New Britain, Conn.) 1890-1976, 1923-08-17


suggestion is made that practical no.
tice by these possessors OF surplus
energy of danger points that may be
made safe through practical work OF
hammer and nails, replacement OF
shaky foundations, dangerous methods
of handling crowds, would probably
bring more practical good to the
world than formulating theories and
advocating the carrying out Of these
theories by their own unintelligent
amateurish methods. And this is said
in no derrogation of the great work
done constantly by truly informed or
ganizations which handle big subjects
intelligently to the benefit of all.

| order. SO II may be said that thi'
country has not offered to accept the
invitation of any one OF the allie;
where those nations cannot agree
among themselves.
But there is a stronger reason for
President Coolidge's .disinclination to
take more drastic action than was
suggested under the Harding regime.
President Coolidge will play safe"
Quite possibly he can hear now the
cry of disapproval that would come If,
under his administration, steps were
taken longer than those favored by
his predecessor in office. Whatever
mystery" there may be about Presi-
dent Coolidge there is no mystery
about his carefulness. He breads, un-
doubtedly, the comment IF President
Harding had only lived we would not
be in this tangle." The cry may be a
Pigment of his imagination, but 1t is

we did advance farther practically in

than heretofore suggested, but Presi-
dent Coolidge will run no risks. =
1t was Joseph Tumulty, we think,
who declared that the political prob

And President Coolidge is in the midst

The problems of the nation are great,
but the political problems, considera-
uation, to him are great. too.

YORK STATE TOWNS
GET LITTLE WATER
Lack Of Rain Is Being Felt in
Many Places

New York, Aug. 1.-THE draugh
Swithin's Day, has not only ruinec
many proud truck patch and famil!
garden which fourished in June onl!
to- wither in August, but has become
4 serious menace to the water sup
plies of almost all the towns in thu
metropolitan district.
1t rained on st. Swithin's day and
if legend were reliable, it should have
rained for forty days thereafter
There should have been some rain, nc
matter how little, every day or every
night or alternating night and day
But, according to the Weather Bureau
record, there has been but 2.S7 inch.
es of rain in this sector of the At
lantic coast since that day.
This does not mean that that much
rain fell on all local weather bu-
reau's territory. Unfortunately, little
as it is, it did not. Now it would rain
little in the Bronx and later a little
more on Long Island. A few days
later south Brooklyn might catch a
swish of rain and Yonkers might get
few drops a day or so later. Put
ting these local precipitations togeth-
er you get 2.37 inches, which is not
worth while and makes it impossible
to say that the metropolitan district is
suffering from a prolonged drouth.
Not only does the vegetation de-
mand rain but the creeks and lakes
and springs that feed the water res
ervoirs from which the people of New
Rochelle, Mamaroneck, Fort Lee,
Mount Vernon, Elizabeth and so on
get their drinking, washing and COM
Gercial supplied of water are running
low. There is no immediate danger
of a water famine according to Of
ticials of the New Rochelle Water Co.,
but the source of supply is straining
under the lack of rain.
Throughout Long Island the dry
spell has parched the fields and the
late crops are doing poorly. Not in
years has Long Island felt the drouth
so keenly. June was normal but
July was dry and the farmers are
talking about irrigation bitches as a
possible defence against a recurrence
of the same condition next year.
Central New Jersey towns that get
their water from reservoirs supplied
by artesian wells are becoming more
and more fearful of a water famine.
This threatened section lies between
Elizabeth and Plainfield. Proclama-
tons have been issued by the mayors
OF these towns asking the citizens to
use no water for sprinkling lawns or
washing motor cars. Berry and fruit
crops have been reduced so per cent
by the failure of the needed rain to
fall.
The Plainfield Union Water COM
pany reports that the water in their
reservoir at Fanwood, stood at two
feet and that there was a danger of
its giving out entirely unless 1t was
vigorously conserved. This company
has made some arrangement with the
Middlesey Water company whereby it
may draw from the basins of that
concern.
New York city's supply is in no way
endangered.

HAsTY ACTION IN GAS.

There is proper price for gaso-
line, giving reasonable profit to pro-
ducers and reasonable price to con-
sumers. Five cents gallon, at which
rate it was sold in some places re-
Gently is not this proper price. More
| over one has more than suspicion
| that the price we have been paying is
not the proper price; it has been too
high Nor does the blame lie with
distributors in this city. The Stand
ard Oil manipulates matters, Of
course.
In. South Dakota, the pivotal point
in the gas situation at the moment,
the Governor reduced the price from
26 cents to 16 cents. The Standard
claimed that it must reduce to meet
competitors, but that 16 cents was
less than the cost of production. But
the company was in a position to sit
tight" and watch the results of the
mistake the Governor had made-if it
was mistake.
Now it seems the Governor thinks
he did make mistake. He conferred
with independent dealers and as re-
suit raised the price from 16 cents to
20 cents
"Ah," murmured the Standard Oil.
The board of directors of the Indiana
company met noted the increase and
remarked that the action of the South
Dakota executive had proved the COM
panys contention that consequences
had not been considered when the
Governor originally cut the price
down to 16 cents. Now, the board of
directors intimates, as long as the
company has been shown to have
been right in that case, the company
is at liberty to increase the price
above the 20 cent mark as set by the
Governor-and, of course it will do
this, pointing back to the "hasty ac-
ton" in making the reduction.
Conservative, fair people of this
section are willing to pay proper
price for gasoline. They realize the
power of the Standard Oil company
and they do not care to have hasty
action taken that will temporarily
lower prices but which will eventual
ly give the Standard a plausible ex-
cuse for raising such price far above
what it should be.

COMMUNICATED
FIRE HOSE COUPLINGS
Editor of Herald:

Editor of Herald:
Sir.
Through the columns of the Herald
I have learned that several cities ano
towns have adopted a fire hose coup
ling and hydrant with a standard size
and thread, so that in case of need
for calling upon a neighboring city
for assistance they would be assured
that the couplings and hydrants would
fit. To those unfamiliar with the
game it would appear that the insti-
tuition of those. conditions was of COM
paratively recent date but that idea
was placed in evidence during the
Firemen's convention, held in Meriden
in 1887, thirty-siX years ago, when the
fire departments Of every city and
town in the state were requested to
send coupling in use by their re-
spective departments in order that a
record of them could be made regard
ing the size and thread of each coup
ling with view to making a stan
dard article such as being used at
present. Myself being delegate to
that convention, I carried a coupling
to represent New Britain. b..
Now if it takes SO years to equip
the few cities and towns which are so
equipped, perhaps by the year 2oo2S
A. D.. we may have reached national
Standardization.
My suggestion would be to speed up
the American spirit and have the ma
tional standard adopted as soon as
possible.

LONGS FOR CHILD;
GATHERS CLOTHING
Woman Arrested for Taking Baby
Clothes Said to Have Given
Peculiar Excuse.

New York, Aug. 17.-Charged with
stealing children's clothing from the
store of Frederick Loeser & Co.,
Brooklyn, where she was employed as
a saleswoman, Mrs. Gertrude Steven
son, thirty-six, of No. 800 Rutland
Road, Brooklyn. was held in $500
bail by Magistrate Walsh in the
Adams street court on grand larceny
charge yesterday.
Mrs. Stevenson's arrest was brought
about by Miss Mabel Kesselman, store
detective. Detective Cunningham of
the headquarters division said he
found baby clothes valued at about
$1,000 in the womans room. Store
officials believe this to be merchan-
disc stolen from Loeser's.
Although Mrs. Stevenson made a.
general denial, police say she admit
ted the theft. The woman is alleged
to have told them her longings for
motherhood resulted in the taking of
the garments. Mrs. Stevenson has
been widow six years and has a.
daughter sixteen years old, police say.
