Dr. Baldpatc and the Chinese Reyo-
 lutionists

"The recent doings in China" " said our old pal. Dr. George A. Baldpate to Eugene Reich, brings back th> troublous time~ in '93 when was in the center of the Hoose Cow province. The trouble then, as now. was. at the bottom, economic. Powerful interests in Shanghai were trying to force the Hoose Gowsers to accept Yunnan- csc laundry checks at their face value. They also proposed to change the shape of the holes in the yen from square to round. This threw the provinces into a panic. Rebel lion broke out at once.
 Sent out by the Second National Bank of Hong Kong, was set upon by a group of the most villainous looking Chinese l have ever seen' in the little village of Row on the bank of the k'lang G'lang river. There I lay, bound hand and foot, while my captors dcliberated what particularly fiendish form of tor ture and death they could intiict on the foreign devil The next day they amused themselves by loosins my bonds and letting me escape only to recapture me few mo- ments later. It was a cat-and mouse situation in which T played the ig- noble part of the mouse. It had an advantage, however.
 Tn my brief periods of liberty noticed that the fields in which ran were full of peoples which had gone to seed. On my next escape shook out the contents of a dozen seed pods and hid them in my shoes.
 That night, as l was led by the kettle. before being tied UT again, I threw a handful of seeds into the mess of rice that was being prepared for the evening meal. The dope of poppy seed Is famous. Ar hour after supper my guards were snoring like pigs.
 Relieved of the necessity of quiet was able to work free of my bonds. I then cut off the pig-tail' of my nine guards. tied them to gether and, throwing a moose, lariat fashion, across the stream, l leaped into the raging current and wa! swung safely across. An hour later reported at our branch bank a Cantou-on-the-F Flannel. am jus ass glad as not to be in China at the present time"

HOT ELSEWHERE: COMFORTABLE HERE

The past week has been one of satisfaction to New England, from weather standpoint. While an equal b 9 temperature punctuated with light rainfalls. held it's bene flcent sway over this tier of states, the newspapers carried stories of excessive heat throughout the west and middle west. One western city, situated upon the Rocky Mountain plateau, noted for its cold tempera- lures during the winter. had the unenyiable record of being the na- tion's hottest place during at least one day of the prolonged heat wave. The imperious city of Chicago. in the center of the furnace belt of the week, sent out a dispatch that "cooling lake breezes' tempered the heat which all practiced readers recognized as a species of civic propaganda.
 While the western states seethed, New England was comfortable. This now has been the record for three or four successive weeks. The sum mer opened with New England fry ing under hot spell, which also extended to large sections else- where; but since that time no one in New England has had need to suffer much on account of the heat
 Yet the carpers about the New England climate" are still with us. They will be heard from again next winter.

POPULATION AS \ BUSINESS STIMULANT

Waterbury Is classed among the cities Hess than 100000 popua- tion," greatly to the irritation of Waterburyians who insist 1t has considerably more population than that figure. The long range specu- lations of the federal census bureau upon Waterbury's population are worthless" announces the Water bury Republican.
 But the Waterbury paper goes into economical features of such estimates that serve to give pretty morsel of discussion. Classification Of the city as less than 100000 population reacts unfavorably upon local business" says the editor
 Mayor Guifoile for econo-
 my's sake is opposed to taking a
 census this year." the editor
 says, but 1t may be that the
 cost of the census would be
 small compared with the tinan-
 cial gain to local business from
 official determination of the
 city's population. Before he
 makes any decision in the mat
 ter the mayor should go into
 the question carefully with bus
 mess men of the city"
 According to this hypothesis, 8 high population estimate helps local business. Coming down to bed rock, if the estimate" of New Britain's population were 12o,ooo instead of 10000, more business would develop in New Britain There may be some optimistic busi- ness men who can reckon how q business boom eventuates from an inflated population estimate, but such things are not for everyone. Perhaps real estate men would be able to do some fancy reckoning along these lines, but the average business man never sees the diff ference between actual population and estimated population trotting into his store to buy.
 Self deception rarely shows any profits. Realty values may register little jerk forward upon the strength of an artificial population estimate, but they also have a habit of jerking backwards when appear ances do not seem to substantiate the estimate.
 New Britain is also one Of those cities that is recorded as Hess than 100, 900 population" In most of the data books the population remains as found in the 1920 census. None of which worries the business men of this city Business in New Brit ain is good irrespective of census figures, census estimates and cen sus possibilities. We are too busy tc bother with such tritles. The fed- cral bureau in Washington can estl- mate to it's hearts content; we are pleased to get a high rating ana not struck dumb at low one. we know we'll pass Waterbury in due time and we do not need to Watch the census estimates while catching up.
 TO worry about census es'lilia'es is a bad symptom. Waterbury mas the symptom. It is pleasure u record that there is no such worry l in New Britain.

Although the farm population Of .,,, I,ni,ed States decreased 1S2,OOO during tho past year, according to q federal report, the decline did not oxtond to New England, where the farm population was reported as re- maining stationary. Although farm ;nr such as we know 1t in Ne" England is not followed upon the h,g scale of the west, most of those engaged in it, growing the crops that have been found suitable to ths land, seem to be getting along It is much less of a gamble than in the west.
