THE STATE AND U. s.
 DEBT STATISTICS

The figures announced by the De- partment of Commerce yesterday regarding the per capita cost of running the government of Con- necticut, as we'll as per capita tax. and the other "per capitas" in the statistical summary, were illuminat- ing.
 Summarizing the whole. we find that the gross income of the state amounted to s17,13 per capita, the operation and maintenance of de- partments was $11.3S per capita, and the state debt amounted to ss.11 per capita. The figures were for the fiscal year ending June 30. 1924.
 There are two ways 10 look at the states income; one that more money Is being collected through taxation than is needed (which is the gen. eral view) and the other that the more taxes are collected the better will be the financial showing of the state, the higher the surplus and the earlier the day when there will be, no state debt.
 The surpus at the end of the fiscal year in 1924 was S955,G71.52; the surplus at the end of the fiscal year of 1923 was more than a mil lion, The funded debt was s16,291,- 100 while the sinking fund Crept up to s11,659,526.17. The net debt was s1,466, ,66S.42, according to the states figuring.
 The Department of Commerce figures the net debt as the differ enee between the funded debt and the sinking fund. which is S4,6S1,- bI4. The state nnanClefs ngute the net debt as the difference between the funded debt and the total of sinking fund and cash on hand in the civil list fund, the latter being s3,164r905.41. The state authorities, therefore, get lower net debt than the federal bureau gives, namely $1,- 466,66S42. The state methods of figuring would cut the per capita net debt by a third.
 Where the accountants differ as to the modus operandi the innocent taxpayers can take their choice,

SHARp-EYED POLICE
 COMMENDED

"Sharp-ey police get five driV- crs,' said the headline, The police are to be congratulated upon being sharp-eyed and for arresting such as seem to need 1t.
 Of the five, arrested, four were charged with operating without a license. This is a rather large per- centage. One is forced to wonder how many drivers all told are operating without licenses. Some time ago efforts were made to test brakes and quite a number of ma chimes were located with defective brakes.
 When an autoist has no license 10 operate an automobile it should be taken as evidence that he Is no proper person to be at the steering wheel. Unlicensed drivers figure in too many accidents.

Paris, Sept, Pl-Crowds of re- turning American travellers, estimat- ed to be one quarter again as large as last years have thronged the of fees Of all the steamship lines for the last fortnight. trying to get pas sage home. All ships, of whatever class, are completely booked until the first of October, and many of the favorite express liners will have no available berths before the mid de of next month.
 Most of the travellers are tourists. but many are business men, chiefly buyers for big fashion shops who must return at once for the opening of the fall season. Some of these latter frantic at the delay, have of fered two or three times the value of passage, but unsucCessfully. Lines of applicants three or four deep are the usual thing in the steamship of- fees a day or two before sailings.
 Last-minute cancellations are the salvation of some of the homesick. Crowds of these. in ever-increasing numbers, have adopted the practice of waiting in the offices until the last minute before the boat trains depart for the coast hoping that someone, somewhere, will give up a berth.
 One of the walters, a young girl, in this way got a ticket three weeks earlier than she had expected. It was but a half hour before the boat train left for Cherbourg, but by dint of hurried packing she made the ship on time.

By Myrtle Janice Harris The preachers like to see a maid Make wedding preparations; The florists know they will be paid To furnish decorations: The jewellers sell many rings The dry goods stores sell under
 things;
 An yes, wedding always brings Most high anticipations Engravers wear a smile that's real, They print the invitations. His folks and hers tell how to deal With the in-law relations. The taiors sell the bridegroom
 clothes: The bride buys fourteen kinds of . hose; The realtors tread on their toes To show them fine locations. The liveries have cars 10 rent To take guests to the wedding; The caterers are well content Sandwiches they'll be spreading. It is no wonder when they're wed Her face is pale and his is red. They've just found out. if truth be
 said. They don't know where they're
