=. In order that the memory of
Farmington's sons and daughters
who lost their lives in the war may
forever be perpetuated. citizens of
that town have voted to appropriate
$500 to apply toward the purchase
of a town owned forest to be desig-
mated as a permanent war memoir
ial. This $500 plus a. similar
amount to be raised by the Ameri-
can Legion will enable the town to
purchase a 175-acre piece Of wood
land which should suit the purpose
admirably.
Pennington thus becomes the
first town in the state to appropriate
money for such a purpose. although
two other towns, Newtown and Sails
bury, have, had town forests for
some time. Newtown received small
tract as a gift from one of its resi-
dents, while Salisbury recently set
aside 140 acres Of timber land,
formerly part OF the town poor
farm, to be managed as a forest
reserve. Forty-one Massachusetts
towns have set aside such districts
the largest being more than 300
acres in size.
The committee In charge OF the
Pennington campaign is made up Of
Thomas Hewes, Harry G. Ney. Her

THE OBSER YER
Makes Random. Observations
On the City and Its People


The new coming law is fine
thing, no doubt and We like It.
We'd hate to build nice coy
bungalow and then have our worst
enemy bug tho land all around us
and erect a boiler factory. And we'd
hate TO be crowded SO close by
tcnements that the only way we
could let light into tho sun parlor
would be TO build 1t on the north
side.
But the prohibition law is ap-
parcntly a cinch to enforce compar-
cd to what the coming law will be.
Just imagine what it will be like
IL the law-breakers start in TO break
the ordinance. Imagine a. gang of
bootleggers smuggling three-family
house into a restricted district. Or
zoning-onforcement officers search
ing automobiles to see If they con-
tain neighborhood stores. Or hi
jackers grabbing an illegal garage
and sneaking 1t on rollers through
the night to another part Of the
city.
Imagine a contractor jailed for
building a factory in the third ward.
And his future efforts to evade q
reputation by building three-story
houses with only two tiers Of VIM
dews. Or by using the old fake
label" scheme of the bootleggers and
painting THE Lovenest" over the
door of machine shop.
Imagine an Antl-Tenement league
or a Woman's Christian Bungalow
Association, fighting for observance
Of the law. And the criminals Or
ganizing trust for the cheap guam
tity production OF business blocks
in the Shuttle Meadow district.
| Imagine the calling in of charto-
graphers as enforcement officers.
and their being bribed by having
little map factories of their own
built for them.
Imagine a fleet of trucks running
the blockade under cover of night
to bring in material for erecting a
concrete bank building on Ten Acre
road. Or their being caught after
a wild chase along Corbin avenue by
enforcement officers with one-incl
howitzers mounted on motorcycle
sidecars.
Imagine squad of enforcement
officers descending upon Belvidere
some night and nabbing the owners
Of all two-famiiy houses. And just
try to imagine those houses pro
duced in court the next morning a:
evidence. Or the owners escaping
conviction by burning the evidence
Imagine it, .-.

The Wintibag

The Windbag {
BY Arthur L. Phillipson
When ] take out the old sedan
And bust some traffic regulation,
A red-faced and blue coated man
Swears he should take me TO the
station.
He baws me out with eloquences
Until feel just like two cents:
But I'm too wise to make defence
Or to deny the allegation,
Then, after he has had his say
About my awful law infraction,
Ee waves me grandly on my way,
And | go, staying not my action.
Once out Of ear shot, then ! go
Up in the air, and want to know
Just why. for speaking. cops have
Apparently q great attraction.
I wonder if, to be a cop,
They have to study public speak,
ing;
Once let 'em start they cannot stop.
With eloquence they're fairly reek-
ing.
And yet at home I'll bet that they
Have not got SO darned much TO
say.
I'll bet at night. the back-door way
They very quietly come sneaking!

the administrations tax reduction pro-
posal as a starting point the house
ways and means committee today list
ened to the advice of various organi-
cations of citizens on many disputed
features of the tax legislation that is
to be presented to the next session CT
congress.
The National Association Of Manu-.
facturers. the Retailers National Coun-
ell, the Texas Tax Clubs, the New York
Board of Trade, the Real Estate Board
of New York. all were allotted time to
present their views at today's commit
tee session.
Passing over for the moment Secre-
tary Melons suggestion for reduc-
ton of income taxes all along the line
the committeeman first heard repre-
sentatives Of the Texas Taxes club in
dorse the secretary's proposal for re-
peal of the federal, inheritance or es-
tate tax.
Texas Plea is Heard
Satterwhite of Amarillo, speaker of the
Texas house, said that the state OF
Texas felt it should have sole jur;s-
diction over inheritance taxes within
its borders. Texas not only needs that
source of revenue, he said, but the
present federal inheritance levy is
proving almost confiscatory.
After several other members of the
delegation had made similar state
ments, Representative Garner of Texas,
ranking democrat on the committee,
said he never had heard of the Texas
Taxes clubs until the delegation came to
Washington, and asked several ques-
tions as to its purposes.
Frank Kell, one of the Texans pres
ent, said he had contributed 5000 to
the club ''in the interest of good busi-
ness"
Government Oversteps Rights
If federal duty was repealed Satter-
white said he did not believe the state
tax would not increase. A. R. Stewart
from 28th Texas district, argued that
the government had no right to enter
the state and take large portions of its
estates.
Representative Garner introduced
the delegation, lauding it's purpose
thuogh declaring he was in complete
accord with its views.
The Texas delegation represented
bankers, cattlemen, railroad men. lum-
Der and other producing interests. Up
on leaving the committee room the del
egation went to the White House
where it was received by President
Coolidge.

bridegroom who precipitates the first
quarrel at the breakfast table may
be led to do so by red wall paper,
which gives him mental indigestion.

William Downie. master painter and
decorator Of Cleveland.
Mr.. Downie enlarged on the effect
that color has on the disposition at
the convention Of paint, oil and var
nish manufacturers today.
Every color arouses some re-
sponse, either agreeable or other
wise" he said. Loss of appetite for
instance. may be due to the decora-
tive scEeEe of the dining room. Fest
les ness may be caused by jarring
note in the living room. Subcon-
sciously we react to colors and that
reaction il more important than we
realize"

LOcnynO Decision Is
Broadcast as Safety
DeUice Against Wars

Belgium, Poland and Czecho- Slovakia
and between France and her eastern al
lies Poland and Czecho- Slovakia.
Germany is to set up machinery for
the arbitration of disputes which can
ploniatic handling.
The engagements between France and
Poland and Czecho- Slovakia provide that
if Germany shall have recourse to arms
AGAINST any of the three countries, they
shall Immediately go to the aid of one
another.
Great Britain Would Aid
The treaty Of mutraI guarantees by
C~~rn~rv Franco and BeIoium s.ipulates
that Germany must never invade the
soil Of France or Belgium or attempt to
create war in the demlitarized Rhine
lnad zone, while on their parts France
and Belgium engage never to violate
Germany's western frontier. If either
one Of the countries should violate the
compact, it will be the duty OF Great
Britain to lend aid to the agrieved
party. Arbitration Of all disputes is
necessary. None of the agreements
outlaws war. 1t is clearly stated that
in some circumstances war is legiti-
mate; but the treaties seek to provide
as far as is possible to. prevent war
like conditions from arising.
Nowhere in today's newspapers are
the treaties hailed as absolutely secur-
ing future peace Of Europe. They are
described as a promising attempt to re-
turn to the old family party Of Europe
and to arrange quarrels on the basis
Of reason.
Expect Ratification
Confidence is expected by the writers
that the treaties will receive ratifica-
tins of the various parliaments con-
cerned, especially in view Of the fact
that they cannot be amended.

ment and the countess registered at

married the Count De Beaumont in
1915. Her father-in-law was reputed be-
fore his death, to be the wealthiest
nobleman in France. The countess has
lived in Paris since her husbands death,
