quite possibly the presence of the i French troops. no longer necessary,
 would do more harm than good in ad-
 dition to the huge expense their pres
 enCe there entails. When the troops were sent there it was for the pur- post Of protecting the French officials in their attempts to collect the repar- ations that the Germans would not pay. The use of troops for this pur- pose was necessary at that time all though little good seemed to be ac- complished. Quite probably, however, the fact that France did take that step had it's psychological effect upon Germany, and the actions of Germany now, if the payments Of the repara- tons are made may be the result of the action of Poincare when he order cd the French troops to that terri tory.
 There is no question. however, that French troops especially in such great numbers will not be needed in the Euhr for the purpose they were for merly used, if the Dawes plan has the hearty support Of Frances allies, for in that event the allies will be aiding in doing the thing France formerly believed she must do all alone. One is not prepared to say that entering the Ruhr was 2 mistake. It is quite probable, however. that withdrawing them in few months will be the wise plan. Yet the wisdom of that arrange ment rests upon Gernany's making every attempt to live up to the proVi sions Of the Dawes plan, which, Of course. makes its success problemsti- cal unless constant pressure is main tained upon Germany.

CHLORINE GAS CURE USED ON PRESIDENT
Proves Effective When It Elimi-
 mates His Hard Cold

Washington. May st.-p President Coolidge. who is still suffering pith a cold yymtoms'ic of rose fever today { took the chlorine gas treatment, with which army surgeons have been ea- perimentine successfully for several months Mir. Coolidge acted on the recommendation Of Secretary Weeks vho had taken the treatment with good result.
 The President sat in an air-tiEht room at the army dispensary for for ty-fire minutes while the treatment was being administered. He read re- ports and studied the Immigration bill Lieut.. Col. Mathew X. De tancy, at tending surgeon Of the army medical centre. watched the flow Of gas. When the President returned to the Executive offices he told Secretary &lcmp that shc was much better. All Of the depression and lack of energy which accompanies a cold. he said. had disappeared. and hc expected fo be able 10 attend 10 all Of his duties by tomorrow.
 Brig. Grn. Charles r.. Sawyer. fhe White House physician. accompanied tho President to inc dispcnsary.
 Experiments with chlorine gas for respiratory diseases were undertaken by the Army Medical Corps as a re- suit Of a discovery at inc EdreNood Arsenal. at t:dgowood. Md. at inc lime Of inc influenza epidemic in 1924 Ii was found that employees of the chlorine plant were practically frss from the disease. hich vas general among employees of other divisions of tho arsnnat.
 The Medical Corps investigated the concentration of chlorine in the air required to kill. certain bacteria. They proved that tho organisms which pro duce colds and influenza were more susceptible to the action of chlodss than other bacteria. An air-tight chamber E-as constructed through which 42.Nea liters of gas-air mixture was passed per minute. and many ps- iiants who were suffering from infec- tion were treated.
 Most of these patients the army specialists reported. received 2 single treatment of one hour. 4 feE received a second or even a third treatment on succeeding days. While the majority Of patients were cured or improved by one treatment. many required several treatments.
 There seems to be little doHBt that srch chlorine treatment viil complete ly abort a cold when taken sufficiently early. and in well developed cases ii affords great relief Acute bronchitis is practically always relieved. Thert is more difficulty in treating head colds because the swelling of the mu- cous membranes stops the air pas- s, ges and prevents free access 10 thf chlorine"

OUR CHORAL SOCIETY

The rule of this newspaper, adopt frain from advertising in these col umns. And that rule is adhered to strictly There comes. however, once a year an occasion. which required a departure from this rule, not because Of any inherent value in the favored organization. but rather because Of the spirit which is represented by the work which it does.
 Each sprin1 the New Britain Choral l society en:s lhe season of learning which we nave been through, with a concert which NC may find most en- ioyablc if we have appreciated what has gone before. This concert is to be held next Sunday, and if has bren for years the sort of affair we have rec commended blindly and have listened to enthusiastically. We will once again take the same chance, in the belief that if there has come to the people Of the city an inspiration from the City's musical activities, the culmna- tions will he reached with the render ing of the spring festival.
 The artists promised are Up to the standard customarily furnished by this society. The work to be presented has all Of the inspiration one might de- sire. The enthusiasm of the members of the society is the sort Of enthusiasm which comes not from careless re- gard for the time spent over their music, but rather from req earnest ness which adds sound truth to the harmonies which result.
 It is safe to say that at no time of the year is there more sincere dis play of cagerness to be true 10 the best that has been mastered than at the time of this spring festival of the New Britain Choral Society. It Is safe to say that anyone who has a spark Of feeling for music will spent 2 de- lightful Sunday afternoon if he OF she gives it up to enjoyment of the program the Choral Society will pre- sent.

THE GOAL SOUGHT

The news story publish in the col- umns ot this newspaper Saturday eallipr attention 10 the fact that the new scarlet fever serum is proving so successful, inspires the desire to em- rhasze what is the goal sought in practically all the cases Of great erusades. As a rule the people who , spend their lives making researches
 are not doing so for purpose Of merely 1 relieving pain. They are seeking a | cure. The soldiers who fought in the
 world war were not ordered 10 defend thomselres--they were out to get to an objective, 1T they failed in this they failed. IT the scientists who work over s serum fail 10 overcome the disease, they fail. No half-way measures will satisfy them; they want to conquer the disease, just as the sol. diers in any war want to obtain mas tery of the ground they cover.
 Probably the most pathetic indi,id- uals in life are those who are willing 10 fall back upon the weak statement I've did onr best" Lies successes are those who are able 10 say truly that Eve did what pe set out to do"
 This is the phase Of the medical profession that brings impatience for those who refuse to believe that there may be any victory over disease. The little item on the advance made in tho nFht against scarlet fever i. but the story Of another step taken in the great battle that will result eventually in conquering all disease. II is. there fore, taking a great responsibility upon oneself 10 discourage anyone who is bent upon doing all he or she can for the weifare of the race. Let them fight on, and the best pe may do, as our lines of endeayor fall in other paths i- 10 cncourage them. talk ing their expert advice when 1t has heen proven To be worth while. and rofraining from holding them back when they fail and admit their failures.

TEOIGEYS

In a summary of the trolley situa- ton throughout the country il is stat cd that, according to the American Electric Railway Association. the in du.try Is coming back" There are four reasons given for this rather sur prising statement, and, therefore, it must be admitted that the conclusion reached would not be correct if the four reasons therefor. or a majority of them, did not exist.
 ''The industry is coming back" it is said, because there is cooperation between trolleys and busses." The Connecticut situation discloses no such cooperation as yet Living fares are being paid"-possihly this is true in this state, but the general feeling is that perhaps fares are being paid which enable the trolley but not the patrons of it 10 Hive"
 Another reason for the coming back" of the industry is said 10 be because the public is taking more sympathetic interest in it's local troll ley line. This is absolutely not so in this part of the country, and possibly the reason therefore may be found in the statement that while the industry spent over se.ooo.O0o in advertising and intends 10 increase its apnropria- ton for this purpose this year." there has been no such practice in evidence ir ihis part Of the country.
 Lack of cooperation between the rrhnc ara the trolley and lack Of any s.tempt 10 obtain the good will of the public on the part Of the trolley in- dustry has long been given as the chief reason for the failure of the trolley industry There is just one way Of obtaining this cooperation and this good will and that is by advertising. The fact that the industry has rseog- nized this 10 be the truth in it's suc-
 
 ce.sful come back in the country is shown by It's increased advertising ap- propristion. But 2 small part of that amount has been spent in this locali. ty. as far as we are advised. And a. small part Of the come back" is syi- d.ne.d here. II Is more than likely that the tpo 20 together, and that q closer understanding Of the indus try by the people, brought through direct advertising would bring 2 more evident come. back of which tho American Electric Railway A.socia- ton boasts Advertising Is the only possible rsy an organization may get into closer communication with the public. All the reasons given for tho "ooms-hack' Q, tine trolley industry gre based upon this closer communiea- ton. Were the Connecticut company "a talk plainly to inc people, thus obtaining greater cooperation and more understanding sympathy it is quite possible that the sauntcd come ] back" would bs seen here ss well as in other parts Of thn nation.
