WEATHER WANING ON CHILD LABOR LAW

Mayor 'Curley of Boston, who is running for governor on the Demo- cratic ticket, has announced a re- vorsal of his position on the pro- posed ratification of the child labor amendment. Up to the instant of his reversal he was in favor of rati- flying it. now, of course, he opposes such ratification.
 The Democratic platform in | Massachusetts, like the Democratic platform of Connecticut, advocates ratification of the child labor amend- ment. At the state convention in Worcester Mayor Curley insisted on plank for ratification. Now be turns against the plank,
 Curley may have had honest con- victions and had an honest change of heart; on the other hand he might have gotten the impression that most people in his state opposed the amendment and that it was good politics" to cater to the amendments opponents.
 The mayor can be credited with being an independent thinker on the subject and not considering himself bound by what the platform of his party says. This would have more force in his case were it not for the fact that he was one of the original boosters for the amendment.
 We may be mistaken, but we feel inclined 10 think that Curley Will favor almost anything that promises to bring home the votes. Curley IS considerable of a politician, but is no more of a politician than his op- penent. who has a statewide ma chine in back of him. while Curley's machine is less effective in the west ern part of the state than from Boston to the cnvirons of Worcester.
 Women's organizations and prom inent women are strongly in favor of the amendment. Among these are: Julia Lathrop, Grace Abbott Jane Addams anl heads of other ip- portant womcns organizations. The amendment is supported by the America. Federation of Labor, the National Education Association, the League ot Women Voters, the Gen. eral Federation of Wuuen's clubs the w. C. T, l., aud almost every similar organization. The agreement is supported by Mir. Coolidge, Mir Davis and MT. La Toilette, candl- dates for the presidency.

GERMANY'S LAST HEP"
 WEARS THE |. S.

The ZR-3, the last Zeppelin Ger many is allowed to build under the terms of the Versailles treaty, is above the Atlantic near the shores of the continent of America, By the time this has seen print it may have arrived at or near its destination.
 The trip of a dirigible of this type across the Atlantic is an inspiring spectacle; on arrival in the land of her future use the aircraft will re- ceive a propitious welcome, and will prove g good companion for the Shenandoah.
 The use of Zcppelins to bomb cities proved of no practical benefit to Germany during the war: their raids, in fact, helped 10 increase the determination , Of England and France rather than permanently harming their morale, The greatest value of dirigibles of this class is in peace, as commercial vehicles, And now that peace rcigns, Ger many the originator Of such air ves- seIs. is denied the right 10 construct and make use of them for German industry or commerce.
 It is a queer turn of fate.

nectieut differs from most other parts Of the country in that 1t is us- ually perchcd high upon a mountain top, or dips Its ruddy lustre into a valley There Is different view from nearly, every vantage point.
 The air of New England-and what is said of Connecticut holds good for the others of the northeast tier of states, also lends enchantmeat to the appearance of the great orb as 1t goes to rest, There is some- thing about the air that lends lustre, a reddish golden hue to the marvellous nature painting that some sections of the country lack.
 A sunset on the western pralries is not half as interesting as in New England, True, one can see the fiery disk descend below the horizon in a flat country while in New Eng land it is impossible to see 1t descend so low because of the intervening hills and mountains but to see the sun sink below distant horizon is not half as impressive as 10 note its passing behind majestic hill or the crest of yon sleeping giant. In New England the lacy clouds that turk above the highlands display their ex- quite tints long after the sun is no longer in sight. On prairie lands the departing sun Is quickly followed by twilight and darkness.
 Delightful sunsets follow the close of every sunshiny day; and for this reason the supercilous might deem them too common to watch. Too common to watch!-such super tlciality and paucity of imagination! ilnS sullSeL IS never COlHIH UH- place occurrence. Nothing is more beautiful, more awe-inspiring in the entire realm of nature. No artist is so skilled in his calling that he can not learn from natures own palette; no humble admircr of the beautiful  need refrain from watching the end of a perfect day merely because the scene is unfolded daily.
 There is no finer time 10 glimpse the impressive departure of the sun each day than in October, when the ground is filtered with leaves, the trees are draped in brown, and the setting of the earth is in a color scheme in harmony with the beauties of the heavens at the close of day.

BUYING A FIRE TRUCK LIKE COMIC OPERA

- The day of comic opera is past they call 'em revues nowadays-but it is still necessary for municipalities to buy fire trucks. A highly hilarious comic show could be written about New Britain's efforts to acquire this appurtenance to its fire-fghting equipment.
 Some fine day the fire truck will be bought, and the red dragon will be cayorting about the streets in all the splendor of it's kind; but the day is not yet. The common couh- cil and the fire board will have to argue about it little while longer,
 If our worthy city dads and fire board guardians knew how funny this harangue sounded they would get together, quit playing politics. and buy truck.
 Republican members of the com- mon council are accused of playing politics in this weighty matter. The fire board cannot buy anything cost ing more than $500 without gaining the approval of the common coun- cil-so the charter specifes-and the hoard is thrown entirely upon the mercy of gentlemen who can play 2s kinds of variations upon the po- litical piano and are keen to sho" their virtuosity at the slightest op- nortunity. Meantime citizens get the impression that the concert is too partisan in character
 As previously admitted in these columns, we know nothing at all about fire trucks; but we don't think it would take long to learn as much as the regular run of city fathers know about this kind of machine We do know, however, and We share this knowledge freely with all the world, that politics Is poor suo- stitute for cooperation.

PAROLE OR PARDON IS
 GUPATRIC'S HOPE

A dispatch from Putnam says that c. Harold Gilpatric, former state treasurer, is resigned to his fate and is eager to begin his inevitable term in Atlanta prison. It is said that he has no intention to force a trial on the 9 counts to which he has plead ed not guilty and is anxious to have the entire matter over so that he may live in peace behind prison bars. He is 4S years old and the i'm pression is he will receive stiff sentence.
 But Gilpatrie has not entirely lost hope. In due time, after he is in Atlanta. a petition for pardon will find its way to the president. This is the last hope. Most criminals nowa- days appear to be buttressed with the hope of parole or pardon.

SENATOR BRANDEGEE IS REMOVED BY DEATH

Death of Senator Frank B. Bran degee of Connecticut in Washington today ends career of note in the senate Of the United States. Senator Brandegee was Republican of the old school, who took his stand on the principles of the party so staunchly that nobody ever had req son to doubt where he stood on any public question. This may not be in line with the modern spirit of inde- pendence but it served the senator well. Many liberal-minded citizens of the state opposed the senator but they fully realized he was entitled to his political views. Personally he was gentleman. of quiet disposition and in politics preferred to let the Republican party be his guide.
 Senator Brandegee had taken little If any part in the present campaign before death removed him from the scene. Probably his health prevent ed; at the time this is written de- tails of his recent condition are not available. His death comes as a sur prise and a shock. His term would not have expired until 1927, so that personally he was out of the politi- cal picture during the present cam paign. The New London senator apparently spent most of his time in Washington.

The Editors Gossip shop


 The following Traprock article, which appeared in former issue of The Fun Shop. should aid you in getting into the spirit necessary for the successful writing of Dr. George A. Baldpate adventure.
 Our old friend, pr. Walter S. Trap rock, is just back from a trip through the Desert of Sahara.
 In d recent conversation the fam ous explorer said The most interest ing discovery I made on the entire trip was that of new--I should say of a very old tribe of Nomads liv- ing south of the Ahaggar Plateau.
 These people. who I have called the Bishtilli, or sand-blowers, live entirely on sand. It is the only arti- cle of their diet, They require no wa ter whatsoever. Countless years in the desert have brought this strange thing about. This diet has naturally affected their appearance.
 Hair, complexion, eyes even teeth are sandy, so that at dis- tance of a few feet a Blshtilli is in- visible against the desert back ground. The sand blowing habit is unique. Unlike the Carolina clay-eat- CT, the Bishtilh does not digest the sand but retains it only after the nutritive elements have been ab- sorbed after which the sand is blown out in perfect ring.
 Their mouths are very large and elastic. and are perfectly adapted to blowing these rings for an immense distance and with great accuracy.
 "Withal they arc a friendly people and have a very dry sense of hu- nor"
 We would hazard the opinion that the Doc has also.

In profound sorrow for the tragic end of Patrolman James Skelly of this city in the courageous perform- ance of his duty, the owners of the property in the protection of which he gave his life desire earnestly to publicly express their deep appreci. ation of his spirit of devotion which impelled him to court death rather than fall short of the highest ideals of the vocation he honored. Such an example of facing destruction daunt- less and unafraid uplifts all life to sublime heights, inspires deeper de- termination to serve more worthily and enshrouds the majestic mystery of death in memory's mantle of eter- nal glory.
