Cool Wea
Here Unusual,
Cold In Hills

The week end exodus to~the hills
was not so great yesterday OWING
to the delightful weather enjoyed
here for the past few days. Such
weather as this in June is welcome,
to say the least, and is q repeater
of last year, when the coolest June
in years was experienced.
Many of those who have fled to
the hills from the heat are wishing
they had not fitted so soon. Those
returning from week end jaunts to
nearby mountain resorts report
that last night and this morning
they actually suffered with the
cold, some of them because of the

The 1O,000.O00 inhabitants of Persia have no cause to be at odds with the United States. Most of them probably are disposed to be friendly The un- provoked attack upon Nice-Consul Robert Imbrie, causing his death. was the result of religious fanaticism and mistaken identity; but there was no reason why his widow should have been attacked.
 Our government has made suitable representations to the men in authori- tv at Teheran and in all probability the officials there will meet the de- mands. If they do not diplomatic re- lations will be broken with that back ward nation and this will not be 10 it's advantage from a commercial standpoint.
 The trouble in Persia undoubtedly has been due to fanatical religious sect over which authorities lost con- troI. Be that as it may, the Persian is in duty bound 10 make amends for failure to give adequate protection.

POLITICS AND DEFENSE DAY

Expectation of Republican party
 organs that the views of Gov. Bryan of Nebraska op mobilization day
 plans would tend 10 cause a disagree ment between him and John w. Davis, the Democratic presidential candidate. have been frustrated by Davis clear cut statement that he is In entire agreement with Bryan.
 AL events of major importance in this country arc thrown Into politics. It was certain from the inception of The mobilization plan that 1t could not escape the slough of political, strife, especially during a presidential cam paign year. With the Republicans in power in Washington, it was to he ex- rected that such an innovation as a mobilization. or defense. day would meet with the disapproval of the Dem- ocrats. not 10 mention the La Fol lettA party. This is not criticisins the Democrats 90 much as criticising the F'sten. When the Democrats were in power virtuelly everything they at- tempted was howled at by the party not in power. except when the war came and cooperation vas patriotic duty: but as soon as the conflict was over the political rough house again started and even the league Of nations was decided as q political issue.
 The logical result so far az mobili- zation day is concerned, Is that Repub licsn governors will cooperate with the entire plans of the war department g nd Democratic governors will refuse; this with 2 few exceptions. such as Gov. Baxter Of Maine. uho has a nind Of his oEn ead happens to op ,ots the plan.

wuEN wEATHER IS NEWS

Normal weather does not possess the clements of news value, except the daily weather bureau forecasts. which of course are among the most important news of the day to many persons who rely upon them to deter mine their activities during the next 24 hours.
 But when the weather becomes ab- normal either too much rain or too little, or too hot or too cold. with protracted spells of any of these di- visions of ofsweather, then it takes on the aspects of the unusual and invari- ably makes the first page" in the newspapers.
 The recent dry spell, or drought, in Connecticut was a case In point. Not only was news of the extent of the drought--which by the way had most of New England within it's grip-wor- thy of being chronicled alongside the most important happenings of the day, but it occasioned quite as much, If not more, conversation and discussion than any other news story.
 The drought, so far as New Britain was concerned, was broken yesterday: how much or how. effectively is yet to be determined. But we had rain of fair proportions, and 1t was re- ceived with more smiles than circus parade.

TOO MUCH POPULATION

A New York newspaper informs US
 readers that the metropolis will attain
 1o,oO0,Oo0 population within the next
 few decades that no amount of new
 subway construction can keep up with the increase Of population, and that the continued necessity for people to live far removed from their places of employment in the great city VIII steadily increase the congestion in the streets. The situation. the paper adds' is entirely hopeless: nothing can be done about it but suffer.
 One of the mysteries of modern life is why 5000, 900, of lo.ooo.oV' peopIe would want to crowd into one city. The New York paper says 1t IS due 10 the fact that there is more business in New York than anywhere else and that people will naturally migrate 10 where there is business life Many persons will not agree with this exp1a nation: they will he more incnneh to think that millions of people are endeavoring to exist in New 1ork when they would be far happier and have better opportunities elsewhere and that the business which draws them there could well be distributed.
 Although there are no aYallabic statistics upon which 10 base an anal 1 ,sis, fl can he said with a fair degree l of safety that large proportion of { the population Of New York or any | other commercial center. lives by pro- idinK for the needs Of the remainder. directly or indirectly The primary { necessities of Hting. such as food. ]

REPAIRING CROSSINGS

Mayor raonessa is taekllng some thing that Is close 10 the hearts Of sll Hho travel the railroad crossings in the city when he seeks 10 obtain lhe privilege Of having the crossings re- paired and the bills sent 10 the rail- road company. If the public utility commission gives the mayor 10 under stand that he has such legal right, fl is 10 he expected that the city ad- ministrstion Will speedily make the crossings ft for easier traffic, some thing that the railroad company seems unable or unwilling 10 do.
 The New Haven railroad. the mayor points out. has attempted to make re- pairs from time to time by filling in" with ameslte. but such repairs are deemed unsatisfactory by the city. Citizens will agree with the mayor that to have the railroad cross important streets al important points is bad enough. but to be made 10 suffer with improperly repaired crossings Is even worse.
 It appears comparatively small thing to keep crossings in repair. and perhaps it. is not more properly done by the railroad because of this very fact; but the necessity for continua- ton of smooth pavement between the rails looks more important to those who use the streets than 1t apparently does to the railroad.

CONFERENCE PROGRESS

Although 1t looked for 8 time that the London conference, called to apply the Dawes plan, was going on the rocks, New York bankers have been optimistic and appear to have guessed right. The conference appears likely to pass the shoals of disagreement that have been worrying some statesmen.
 or course, final success has not yet been announced. The disagreements between England and America, on the one hand, and the French diplomats on the other, could not be smoothed over quickly; but latest dispatches from the seat of verbal disturbance in- dicate that satisfactory compromise of differences is in sight.
 European nations involved could not afford to do otherwise than agree upon the matters at issue. France, for instance, needs the Dawes plan quite as much as Germany; and in the end would have to gree to any reasonable method of application or face finan- cial, political and domestic difficulties of the first magnitude. The Herriot attitude was at first all right for poll tical show window purposes, but in the end reason would have to be en- throned.
 The bankers have disclaimed at- to coerce the decisions Of the statesmen; but let that be as it may, some way found a method Of peaking-and it is money that IS primarily involved in separations set dement's. The bankers had way Of making money talk and that gave them more than enough power to be optimistic from the very beginning, no matter how gloomy the statesmen occasionally became during days or he conference, when "all looked lost.
 Unless something extraordinary urns up, the conference will end with victory for sanity and com non sense.

INIAIn RInICLLE

When Frank R. Kent in the Amsri- can Mercury assails President Cool,
 lidge as the next lining to a nonenitM sn accidental president who fails lo
 measure mp to the demands Of the high office, and man who, had Harding lived would not have been rennminated as his running mate, eiti- zons of an shades Of political opinion will take umbrage at such unwarrant- cd ridicule Of the first man in the land.
 Kent says that il had been agreed among Republican party ehieftnins that Coolidge would not have been re- nominated. had Harding lived and that this would have been tho first time that vice president was ditched from a party ticket. This is in error, as the late James $. sherman was the only Republican ever renominated as vIce-president since the days of John c. Calhoun. Two others, previously George Clinton and Daniel D. Tomp- kins, were thus honored.
 Kent is a Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun. The editor of the American Mercury is Fl. L. Men ckcn, a learned exponent of English and with an original but not always refined vocabulary. He wrote for the Baltimore Evening Sun for years be- fore becoming editor of the Smart Set. New York magazine, and latter ly of The American Mercury. Kent evidently told Mencken he could pro- duce some "hot stuff" against Cool idge, and as anything against Cool idge was acceptable to Mencken. no matter how far-fetched and unfair, the | Kent diatribe got into print.

 Washington, Aug. 1.-Recent find- ings of the federal trade commission alleging that a monopoly exists among certain radio companies have led the sherman law. section" of the department of justice to determine upon "a further investigation for ad- ditional facts"
 Whether Attorneysa General Stone has decided to bring antitrust law action against these or other radio equipment manufacturers and dis tributors had not been made known, but officials of the department are understood to be of the opinion that some companies are involved in an agreement affecting selling prices. They have not been willing to say, however whether the companies they have in mind are those cited by the trade commission, which included the Radio Corporation of America, Gen. eral Electric, American Telephone and Telegraph, Westinghouse, Western Electric and International Radio companies. and the United Fruit and Wireless Speciality.
