OVERPRODTCTION

When the price Of wheat drops the first thing that farmers think of is to reduce production, believ- ing this will have tendency to increase prices.
 When the price of cotton drops southern planters talk "diversitied' farming as means of curtaiiing production of cotton and increasing the price.
 The Connecticut tobacco growing industry not being at top notch growers of the weed in this state have about concluded that over production is the main trouble and q curtailment of acreage w stabilize" the situation - also the prices.
 It was but a few years ago that "production" was the chiet cry, IL was heard everywhere. The situa- ton has changed. and the main idea seems 10 be to bring produc- ton down to the consuming point and thus influence the prices of products.
 It would he a fine thing If every body could produce just sufficient to meet the current demand. The probabilities, however are ,that it cannot be done. The way it works is this: When the price of wheat increases, thousands of farmers i'm mediately increase their acreage given to wheat and an overproduc- tton follows when the next crop is harvested; when cotton goes up, v nlanters forget all about "diverSl- fled farming" in one season; If to- bacco prices advance, the acreage will go up quickly, bringing about overproduction and lower prices.
 The trouble lies in inability to see into the future sufficiently clear to he able to tell which way the price cat IS going to Jump.

PLAYING SAFE

Refusal of Secretary Of the Navy Wilbur to send the Los Angeles Into the Arctic in an effort to lo- cate tho explorer Amundsen indi- oates the secretary is of a consrva- tive disposition. Claiming it would he d wild goose chase" the e>7re- tary relies upon the statements of air experts who say the hazards of temperature would be great and the effect upon the gasoline and water might be calumitous to the crew Of the ship it disaster resulted.
 The public probably will be satis- fled with the decision not to place the lives Of such a large crew as is required to operate the Los Angeles into jeopardy in order to rescue a comparativly small expedition. The naval secretary gives the impression he does not care to accept the re- sponsibility for what might happen,
 AS for the dangers to the LOS Angeles in riding the air of the Arctic climate, the experts do not appear to agree. It was only recent ly, at about the time the vessel made her trip from Germany, that it was declared such ships could travel from Europe to, China by short cut over the North Pole with out difficulty.

4 NEW CROSSING

The traffic bureau of the Cham ber of Commerce did the public a service in calling attention to the need for improving conditions over the New Haven railroad tracks near St. Mary's field. Going from Allen to East streets, or vice versa, if is necessary to cross the tracks at grade; going from the Clayton road to East street, or vice versa, 1t IS also necessary to cross the tracks at grade; the two grade crossings being not far apart.
 The traffic bureau appears 10 De of the opinion that a new crossing could be constructed between the two present crossings and thereby do away with the latter, the one crossing serving the traffic now us ing both present crossings,
 Unfortunately. the new crossing would also be al grade; at least, there appears 10 be no movement on foot to make the new crossing a bridge or underpass. If new cross ing can be constructed ii would be worth while going d step further and determining the prospect of do- ing A good job by not constructing it at grade. This ought to be brought to the attention of the railroad ana the Public Utilities Commission.
 The new crossing would provide something of hairpin curve for traffic taking Allen street from Fast or vice versa. whereas at pres ont the eurye is less pronounced l1airpin curves are not objection able, however, if full views of the vicinity are possible while they are being negotiated.
 If it is possible to provide a bridge or underpass instead of new grade crossing the matter should be further investigated with this end in view.

M'MILLAN PLANES
 OFF FOR THE POLE
Crews AglOW With Enthusiasm
 on First Lap Of Trip

Philadelphia, June 10, R-Three naval airplanes Of tho Arphibian type, their crews aglow with enthu- siasm, are to hop off" from the navy yard here at 1880 D, m. day light saving time, today for Boston on the first lap Of the Donald B. McMillan Arctic expedition in search of new lands.
 The planes are due to reach the Boston navy yard about o'clock. There they will be dismRntled, crated and placed on board the ships Peary and the Bodln, which will sail north ward in July,
 Each plane will carry two men, q pilot and mechanic. The flight commander, Lieut.. Commander R. E. Byrd will act as Navigator. while his companion in the NAL. the first plane, Chief Machinists Mate Floyd Bonnet, will act as pilot. Lieutenant NJ. 4. Schur will pilot the NA-2, with Machinists Mate N. c. Mold as me- chsnic. The NAB. will be piloted by Chief Boatswain E. E. Reber, with Machinists Mate First Class A. Ro- cheville as pilot.
 Commander Byrd voiced the sen- timents Of his companions when he said that. all were pleased with their prospective trip. Believing that Roald Amundsen and his party are safe and will be found, Lieutenant Byrd said he felt certain the ex- plorers will be heard from again. If they are not heard from before the McMillan expedition's planes be- gin their flights into the upper Polar regions, he thinks they will be sight ed by the Americans.
 Commander Byrd and his crew have been here for six weeks tuning up their planes and making ready for the trip. Short-wave radio sets, capable of sending messages to points 900 miles distant, will be part Of each planes equipment. With the short wave sets messages may be sent from the planes whether they are in the air or on land.
 The Peary and the Bodin will head straight for the Arctic regions and establish an airplane base at Cape Columbia. Grantland. From there it Is planned to have the planes make short dashes to inc top of the earth. in search of undiscovered lands. but always keeping a lookout for Amuhdsen's party.
 The Peary snd the Rodin are ex- pected to reach Etah, Greenland. in August.

Movie Making in Germany
 Costs Less Than in U. $.

Washington, June 10 R--Moving picture making in Germany where a star actor for the screen has to be satisfied with the mere pittance of s19, ,0o0 or so a year Is very much cheaper matter than iii the United States.
 The commerce department in a report on the subject estimates that a filmed production of average length and type IS bcihg turned out by the German studios at an over age cost of sS5,00o. The "supers" who make up the mobs, crowds, and armies of the German productions receive only $2.50- a day. while working.
 American pictures are popular in Germany, it was found. but their importation is somewhat restricted by the requirement that the Ger man exhibitor who wishes to show an imported picture must also put on a German made film of equal length.

COMMUNICATED

A Protest On Tax Valuation l New Britain, Conn. June S. 1925, Gcntiemen.
 read in the June Sth issue Of your paper that the tax value of real estate is to be increased.
 New Britain is said to be the working mans town.
 The appraisal engineers propose to raise values mostly outside of the Main street section.
 That is where the workingmen live, In fact. many of them live in Berlin, Plainville and other outside places because tax values and rents are cheaper.
 A raise in tax values means a raise in the workingman's rent. Is that good policy?
 Perhaps said engineers are about to. get more wages for the workers.
 What about Mayor Paonessa's s promise of lower, taxes if he was elected mayor?
 The trouble with New Britain and most cities of the U. s. A. is that local governments spend too much money.
 New Britain is wasting money on zoning systems, flying fields. etc. The state government of Connecticut don't do that. They show a balance left. over. and lay a lower tax rate,
 What is the matter with our city government?

 One hundred and forty-four years after the death of the nobleman whose estates were surveyed by Washington before the Revolution the vestry of Christ church which he endowed in his will is planning 10 honor his memory. The old cas- ket will be replaced with one Of mahogany. which will be placed in a crypt at the main entrance of the church.

Washington, June 1O.-Constitu- tional lawyers, one of them promi- nent enough to occupy seat on tie federal supreme bench, though he can't be quoted by name, aren't a bit certain Tennessee can't make her anti-evoution law stick.
 Not that they believe its viola ton can be punished by fine orsfm- prisonment. Any such penalty im- posed by a lower court will be set aside on appeal, the authorities here are confident,
 But they do think the state of Tennessee probably is entitled to dictate what shall and shall not be taught in her own supported schools.
 The Tennesseeans foot the bill and if they choose to bar instruction even in reading, writing and 'rith- metic. there's a strong tendency on the constitutional experts part to hold they can do it.
 In case any teacher they hire dis regards their wishes, the best guess seems to be that, while he can't be punished as a criminal, 1e can be fired for insubordination.
 The Tennesseeans may be making themselves ridiculous, it's agreed, but that's their business.
 A little analysis of the situation shows quite readily why Vice -Presi- dent Dawes is getting no support from the White House, or many of the republican leaders outside of 1t, in his campaign to get the senate rules changed so as to speed up business.
 The whole purpose of the pro- posed alterations Is to prevent the senate minority, by dilatory tactics, from holding up legislation desired by the majority.
 When the present senate met last March the administration, and doubtless Vice President Dawes, thought the republicans were in con- trol. At that stage of the game the

street and Pennington avenue lines,
 All three lines, 1t Is commonly un-
 derstood, have been losing nroposl-
 tions for a long time; a change to busses would probably entail smaller operating expenses and they
 might be able to stimulate better service, If these Improvements can be brought about the change will be appreciated
 The Connecticut company, being a state organization, and having de- cided to increase its fleets Of busses. naturally finds itself unable to .ob- tain a sufficient number oft the newer vehicles in a short time. Busses also cost money, and this has an important bearing upon the situation. When 1t also is considered | that bus lines are projected in numerous other cities of the state the delay in New Britain appears logical, IL possibly would be better for the city if local management obtained. but this Is a thing Of the past.
 Of course. there is no official an- nouncement Of local changes forth coming at this time, but unofilcialIy there Is evidence that the future will see considerable increase in bus lines within the city, This time next year may see conditions al the Center considerably changed; at least, there may be more busses and fewer street cars.
 The Connecticut company it is understood, has no intention at present of substituting busses for the paying lines except where needed track Improvements would necesstate maintenance outlays. These matters are decided in New Haven, and information from that city is that the present bus policy, at least, will hinge largely upon supplanting the losing lines with the gasoline vehicle rather than substituting tire travel for the more prosperous lines. The company evil dently has fully come to the con- clusion that busses have their uses. whereas several years ago the com- pany was reluGant to make such an admission,
 It is frequently pointed out that no bus line likely to be established in this city will ever give the long ride for one fare which now is pos sible upon the Plainville line. The fare is one token to Plainyille, a distance of five miles from the Gen. ter. and transfers are given and &C., cepted from other city lines. But 1t is not the riders to and from Plain- vile that make this possible. but the short distance riders of New Britain who utilize the Plainyille cars, These constitute 70 per cent Of the patrons of this line, so that they pay their 8 1-3 cent tokens to give to Plainvine residents the privilege of riding all the way between the two cities for the same price. The cars are better patronized than any in the city and were 1t not for this patronage the company's financial record in New Britain doubtless would be much worse than 1t is. The Plainville line is a paying proposition, despite the long ride said to be one of the longest one- token rides in the state - but it is the short-haul city traffic that makes it possible. The layman oo- server might conclude that a bus line, operated upon the same prin- ciple, could do equally as we'll but such a. line would add to the con7 gestion upon an~already congested highway.

 As my wise little friend, Clara, said last night. There are limits. When I meet a boy can tell by his eyes whether or not can trust him. When l shake hands I know wheth- CT or not I like him. If, on second meeting, he prolongs the handclasp I am sure of him. At third meet ing he will probably want to hold my hand. at a fourth, kiss it and at a fifth ."
 "I know" said Mabel, you make him lead a sort of hand-to-mouth existence.
 Not at all" objected Clara. My real saiutes are saved for my fiance."
 You don't mean to tell me that you have never been kissed" e1- claimed Mabel.
 T didn't say that" said Clara. T have been engaged a number of times and besides girl is some- times kissed against her will. The question is, does she kiss back"
 T see," unused Mabel you are one of those poor girls who are more kissed against than kissing ! These are fine points, Mae. but they show that whatever our girls do nowadays they certainly have fine technique.
 Yours for the 1925 model,
