BUCKET SHOP WORKER
 SENT TO JAIL

State laws against bucketing stock orders have existed in New York for wears, but their enforcement has been considered very rare, It was not until William s. Silkworth, for ner president of the Consolidated Stock Exchange, and his various aids began usingthe mails to fur ther their bucketing business that they ran afoul Of the law as admin isterad by a more efficient arm Of +he govern1nent-the federal author- itles.
 Despite silkworth's high standing s a stock broker, hewiU serve 30 days in jail following bis conviction of using the mails to defraud, Such of his aids as were convicted also drew sentences and fines,
 The federal courts have one at- tribute that the state courts couIu imi+ate to advantage--they func' ton without unreasonable delay and invariably dole out sentences with out regard to the sympathetic in cfnations of the onlookers. Tn nuence of any possible kind appears to be at the zero mark in almos any federal court, indeed, fedora judges rarely are criticized at be1ni too fabby in their conceptions 0 justice. but are more often criticized for being inclined to go to the othe extreme.
 The proof Of the pudding is il the eating: Most lawbreakers great prefer to be tried in a state couT than a federal court.

WHEN DOMESTIC ISSUES ARE
 ALSO FOREIGN ISSUES

The president continues to favor another conference Of world powers to further restrict armaments. But he is inclined to he a little cautious about t, praferring to await the out come of proposals to this end made in Europe. He opposes a curtail- men of freedom of action tn purely domestic problems, and thereby rubs tbe fur B little the wrong way. Some things that are domestic problems also affect other nations-for in- stance. tha recent immigration law, which is both domestic and foreign, especially considering the clause re- garalrg Japanese immigration, His plans for outlawing aggressive war fare Will receive sympathetic con- sfderau0n, although q moments re- fectior will convince that this means the outfan7ng of virtually all war fare, az it is difBcult to imagine the cooking up of a var without some body being the aggressor,

NO ONE NEED TAKE MIR. KENT SERIOUSLY

Fred | Kent, ice,prcsident of the Bankers Trust Co. of New York, doesn't seem to realize that the only way to attain and maintain Ameri- can industrial prosperity IS 10 whole ly and completely shut out all for eign goods and then attempt to sell our goods to all mankind.
 This old-fashioned banker and economist, with crop of fogcy ideas sprouting from his cerebral ivory, actually thinks that if Europe sells goods in America 1t will improve Europe's buying power and in turn enable her to buy more Amercan goods.
 So we have the rarely astonishing spectacle of a New York banker, who only circulates among High G members Of the financial fraternity, advocating a theory that long ago was "spurloss versenkt" by more learned tariff experts.
 But Banker Kent opincd during his New York speech that he did not speak as a tariff expert, This may explain 1t. He merely Is a banker who has not yet been reached by modern ideas.
 This counting room economist be- lieyes that international trade bcne' fits all those who participate.
 Going still further into the realms of ignorance and the slough O sciolism, this mere pilar in econo' mics told his gasping audience tha trade consists of exchange, and f not composed Of just selling tc somebody else and buying nothing in return, Mutual trade, he radiated can't be eliminated without harm.
 This ls 8 free country and nobod! Is compelled to believe what Ken shot at his audience. Ills ideas may not be received with heroic acclaim by more sophisticated opponents 0 economics,

HEADED FOR WORLD COURT BUT NOT FOR LEAGUE"

The president in his message in- dulged in one of the peculiar in- diosyncrasles of policy or politics as developed within recent years. He stresand his wish for adherence of the United S'ates in the World Court. but at the same time to de- clare the country not to be disposed to join the League of Nations,
 r makes no difference what we sas about not joining the League; Wsru wo join the World Court we Gr1r ua. foot in the League, as the World Co 4rt is operative under the syrrs Of the Leaaue.

c. II. Mitchell Protests Against In
 tcrference With Radio,

Editor New Britain Herald, City:
 Dear Editor: have a radio set in my house in the western part of the city. This set in operation picks up q large part. of the time what would appear to be very powerful leakage of electricity nearby, the sound of course Is less by day, but perfectly enormous at night, so that when one attempts to attain volume it even drowns out Springfield. Now this is not pe- culiar to my set, but Is general in all of the sets in the neighborhood. but suffice to say, my enjoyment Of my set is greatly diminished and its efficiency destroyed to such an eS- tent that I might say I am deprived of the use of If a large part of the time. The set is not defective. It operates beautifully at such time that it is not drowned out by this leakage of electricity which leakage I am informed by competent au- thority is not atmospheric, but the result of the arcing of electricity from defective power lines. This manifestation of the works of man is having a big effect on the invest ment value of radio sets in my end of the city. and for all l know else where. Now, if this were atmos- pheric. 1t would have 10 be borne, but since from the evidence l get it Is a result of negligence someone is responsible in damages, These defects can be found either by those responsible or by others who have sensitive radio set of a portable nature. Ii seems to me also that leEislatipn will be necessary if more care Is not taken to prevent and remedy electric leakage of the nature ! speak Of.
 Very truly yours,
 CHARLES Fl. MITCHELL.

4 Few Balloon Experiences

By Dr. walter E. lraproCk
 'The trans-oceanic flight of the ZR-3 was very creditable, and l am glad to see that Count Zeppelin and his associates have profted by some of the advice l gave them years ago when they called me in as an expert. This was before the war, when I. could properly work with them without treason to my own government.
 The Count and I were both abso- Iutely fearless in the air. On one occasion our speed was exactly that of the sun, 20 that we kept pace with time. It was 12 o'clock when we left the factory in Gootcheim and the same hour when we passed over Ceylon. Our time for 2.700 miles had been min, Q sec, which Is hard to beat. We figured that 1 with larger motor we could leave Berlin today, let us say, and get there yesterday.
 Crossing the Alps on the way | back we used the Matterhorn as a hitchng post. A curious difficulty arose. A heavy fall of snow froze on the top of the blimp, weighing us down so that the sharp peak below threatened 10 puncture us. l volunteered to go aloft, on the out side Of the balloon, and clear fl off, Hanging on the outside web. binE, I crawled around the belly of the huge bag, reached the top and sct to work, using & sharp too like q lawn edge-Cutter. You car imagine 1t was ticklish work, bu l was successful and, as I freed the bag of its weight of ice, 1t gradual ly rose to a safer altitude. If I hat once stabbed too deeply with m! edgn-cutter it would have mean disaster.
 My interest in balloons date back 10 the time when the onl element we had with which to in fate them was hot air. Even i that early period I was considerc, an expert on the subject"

EGYPT AND ENGLAND AND THE LEAGUE

Why the League of Nations IS not settling the Anglo Egyptian dispute is made clear as the discussion pro- ceeds,
 The facts are that Egypt is not q member Of the League. When she was granted her independence Eng land retained some important rcser- vations. Neither Egypt nor England has officially appealed to the League Moreover. there is declared to be no danger of war.
 If war had resulted from the con- troversy the League, rightly or wrongly, probably would have been partly blamed,
