THE COMMUNITY CHEST

Standing in Central Park is New
 Britain's Community Chest. Super
 fcially viewed it represents q recepta-
 cle for money--a place to which the
 people of the city are asked to come
 and give out of their more or less well
 filled pockets.
 But that chest nearly empty as yet, represents something quite different something that has it's direct, straight forward appeal to every man and woman who sees it. It tells of the coming of the time, which we face annually. when the opportunity pre- sents itself to give most wisely and in accordance with the dictates of our hearts and conscienees, to the causes which do SO much to make our com munity what it is--a city where there is provided, in the Day Nursery, a place where parents of children may bring those little ones while they may go to work, free from anxiety as to the comfort and welfare of their children, to earn a living for them: city where Visiting Nurses may go about to help in times of sickness and emergency; where the young people may grow up under the splendid in- fluence of such organizations as the Girl and Boy Scouts, the Boys Club. the Junior Achievement and the Well faro Association which, also, sym pathically considers the adults as we'll; city where Tuberculosis Relief looks out for the victims of this dreaded disease, and where the sal- walton Army reaches it's understand ing hand down into the places Of hopelessness and brings to the light of the sun souls too discouraged to struggle on.
 The Community Chest, standing 'there in its silent appeal, assumes a now aspect when this light shines upon II, Men and women, unselflsn in their devotion to tho work Of try- ing to fill that chest, are passing about, not urslng-they fee, no need Of this -- but pointing 10 that chest tkst all Of us may realize our re- sponsibility to do our share in help Ing these good causes. Without the presence in the city Of these organiza- tions New Britain would be 8 differ ent place indeed. If would not be ! pleasant picture to contemplate. With them herewith this splendid l work Of helping the sick and suffer- ing and giving to onr boys and girls the chance 10 grow into high-minded | men and women, New Britain will go on rapidly to the strong. fine posi- ton in the country she is destined to i'll.

QUEEN LILIUOKALANPS

Money Obtained is to Be Used to Found Home For Orphan Girls,
 As Queen Wished

By Tle Associated Press. Honolulu, March 26.-Jewels that once belonged to Liliuokalani, last queen of the Hawaiian Islands, were sold at auction today. It was wish of the dead queen that her property should be used to found home foI orphan girls.
 The smaller articles in the collec- tion were offered first to a crowd of bidders and spectators that packed the sales room to its doors. Many were tourists but many more were native Hawaiians or long residents in the islands including some persons who had seen the monarch living or had been eher subjects before annexa- tion of the islands by the United States.
 There were descendants of the Ha- waiian royal blood at the sale and numbers of Hawaiians who boasted that their blood was that of the old chieftains who ruled under the is- land kings.
 Colonel Curtis r. Iaukea, formerly the royal chamberlain, opened the sale with an eulogy of Liiuckalani and brief history of her life.
 The first item sold was a string of le3 amber beads which brought S43.5o after spirited bidding. A brace let set with seven diamonds brought $500 and another s525. A necklace l4S small diamonds sold to C. A. Brown, a resident of the is land, for many years, for 2,i0O and a tiger claw necklace and ear rings set was sold for s252.
 The B items offered brought S11,- 361.5O which jewellers estimated was about fifth of their value. Among the surprisingly low prices was s2,- 100 for diamond tiara that had been worth si0,OO0.

] operating routes in the cities of Hart.
 ford, New Haven. Bridgeport, Water
 bury, New Britaln and Stamford" But
 nowhere in the order docs ii ask the
 company to furnish figures on the
 operating costs and the revenues of
 these lines, which are wholly within
 thcse cities. And it is on these lines
 within the cities that the greatest
 revenues come to the company.
 The order does ask for the "operat- 1 ing revenues and allocated operating 1 expenses" on certain routes fin the 1 Hartford Division" on certain routes ] in the New Haven Division," the i Bridgeport and Waterbury divisions 1 But this is far from asking for the operating revenues and "aIiocated operating expenses on tho lines with in the ctics-thc best paying lines,
 Gnder this order it would seem that the company is required to furnish statements of revenues and expenses on lines where the expenses are more or only slightly less that the revenues while the company is not asked to furnish data regarding the revenues and expenses on the lines where the greatest profits are made. The result would be, of course, that the company would be able to show how it possibly loses money on the lines on which in- formation is ordered to be given. while the company would not be forced to show the profits, over op- eratine expenses. of the mast prof1ta- ble lines. This would make the com | pany appear in much worse position than it actually is and would tend to show that the company is justified in | increasing the fare. IL is just the sort | of order with which the company | would not mind complying.
 Notwithstanding these palpable facts the commission adds to the order the statement that the order for information, it believes, "covers all the points in question, admitting, however, that although those petition ing for information regarding the op- erating expenses and the revenues for the different lines did not designate any specific lines, the commissioninfers the information should include the major route And the commission, ap- parcntly, has not ordered informaton regarding the major" or best paying routes.
 The order is not satisfactory. Whether or not if can be shown that the increased fare is justified, the same information should be given con corning all the routes tho major and .he minor ones. What the cities want sd especially were the figures regard ng the operating revenues and costs If the lines inside the cities These ( lgures. showing the company's profits, ! night then be set beside the figures ' ,alled for in this order--the figures egarding the suburban and less pay \ ng lines. After that might well come [ he decision as 10 the propriety Of making the people on paying lines | ,elp to support. by increase fares. the [ lines. . The merits of the latter matter may lot be looked into understandingly fl Intil the other figures are presented. D

Soviet Russia wasn't satisfied with her official relations with China. That is, the Chinese weren't giving Rus sians all the concessions they wanted. So Russia fixed up new set of rules and asked China to sign on the dotted line. China neglected 10 do so.

Not but what they're con- fident of the devil dogs ability to take care of themselves. but with a crowd of local disturbers hot-headed enough to fire on the American legation and consulate, and even on the marines, they say it's hard to tell what kind of a situation may develop.

CONGRESS- RIGHTS

In the attempts by Martin Littleton. the big New York lawyer to keep the oil investigators from questioning Harry Sinclair, plan is seen to stop, for all time, such congressional in auiries as are going on now. Little ton says congress business under the constitution, is to make laws, not to try cases, like court.
 He admits this point never has been raised before, but he thinks it ought to have been, and he believes he can make his objection stick. If he suc- ceeds, he won't prevent court trials Of cases like Teapot Dome, but he doesn't mind court trials so much. be- cause court rules would bar a lot Of the questions the congressional con- mittees ask.
