THE NAHANT FIRE

The fire at Nahant yesterday in- dicated the f1imsy character of tho average shore cottages, and proved that when a fire once gets a good start in the center of such an az gregation of living quarters the re- suit usually is disastrous. There have been similar experiences at Coney Island. Atlantic City and Cape May, If not at other summer resorts.
 An anachronism that usually comes to the fore at such fires is a lack of water for fre-A fighting purposes, although such resorts may be situated adjoining the sea. Lack of equipment to transfer streams of water from the large quantities close at hand to the blaz- ing cottages usually Is the main drawback: more fre-tighting equip ment at such watering places would be, 1t seems, worthy investment. Had 1t not been for fire boat from Boston which hurried to Nahant yesterday the entire town might have been wiped out.
 It is useless to have plenty of water for fre-hghting purposes and lack of equipment to handle 1t.

DIR. BALDPATE's POTATO PATCH

I've just been getting in my early potatoes" said our old friend, Dr. George A. Baldpate. with a merry twinkle in his eye.
 "All right" we said. What is the rest of it? We know there's more by the very look of you. Did you find it hard work?"
 Tt used to be-" said the Doc genially. q used to think digigng potatoes was the back-breakingest work in the world but I've got new method now and it works fine.
 You see, my farm is on a main highway and I find that if l plant my potatoes right along side the road l don't have any trouble gath ering them. The folks in that neigh borhood are real neighborly and when the spuds begin to ripen there isn't an evening but what l can look out of the side window of my house and see two or three automobile parties drawn up beside the road, the men all busy digging potatoes while the women gather 'em into piles or put them in sacks. It seems as if they must want it to be sort of a surprise party because the minute l open the door and begin stroling down the road they all hop into their cars and scoot off, leav- ing the potatoes lying there on the ground.
 q should like to thank them, but none of them have ever come back for their sacks, so what can I do? It all just goes 10 show how many kind people there are in the world If you truly know where to find them"

cANADA's INDEPENDENCE

The statement of Premier Nc Kenzie King, of Canada, that Cana da is not a party to the British "se- curity pact" with France, has been hailed in London as 8 Hateful pro- nouncement. the gravity of which can be hardly exaggerated"
 A dispatch in the Herald yester- day stated that the attitude Of Canada probably would be followed by similar expressions on the part of other British dominions, and that this would cause the pact to fall
 There is much in Canada's stand point to merit favorable considera- ton. grave as the decision may be to a unified British empire. It is well known to all students of inter national relations that Canada con- siders herself as practically inde- pendent" She is self-governing and does not consult England as to legislation. When the World war came she entered the conflict upon her own initiative, as did the other British colonies.
 But for years Canada has felt a trife irritated at the British method of attempting to form her foreign policies for her in London. Canada feels that she ought to have as much control over her foreign policies as she has over her do- mestic affairs, and the corollary of this attitude is that if there are any security pacts, or any other kind Of pacts to sign, the parties to sign for her are her own statesmen. not British statesmen.
 That is the condition in a nut Rhell. Whether the sttitude is al-

FRENCH FINANCE

Frances finance minister, NJ. Caillaux, in announcing that there would be no currency imitation in France during the effort to meet the heavy retirement of defense bonds, treasured the world that French finances would not be permitted to drag in the mlre as method of eliminating indebtedness. This was the German system, resulting in the creation of poor out of formerly rich and making those who hap pened to have their property in land and buildings richer, thus up- setting the social order only less radically than was the case in Rus sia. France owes her people enorm- ous sums represented in bonds. Un- scrupulous officials, faced with a financial emergency of the first magnitude. might have considered the advisabiity of currency "infla- ton as a means of paying off, the debt with mountains Of debased currency. Whether this opinion gained much currency among some French officials is not known, but 1t is certain that since the reVividus Of NJ. Caillaux at the financial helm' no such radical measures will be tolerated. Although the value oi French money may not be what 1t used to be, holders of bonds will get their payments in real money not wall paper.

HOOVER ANXIOUS
 ID AID FARMERS
Thinks Cooperative Marketing
 the Best Thing

OSakaJoosa, Iowa. June 12 Pt-A desire 10 see the farmer better or ganizcd through cooperative mar keting in order 10 bring agriculture into a position of equality with other industries and to place it on a more firm basis was expressed by Secre- tary of Commerce Hoover in a com- mencement address prepared for de- livery today to members of the grad hating class of Penn college.
 owing to his widely dispersed calling" Mir. Hoover said, the farmer has been less able 10 summon real organization than the others. He has mostly organized himself on a political rather than on an economic basis. It is my feeling that the real goal of his organization must be the cooperative marketing Of his pro- ducts, for, aside from the additional strength 1t will give to his industry, it has even more importance in the long run in liftnig the leadership of his representative into a position 10 deal with his actual economic prob lems in relation to other groups"
 Agriculture also should be so de- . veloped, Mir Hoover stated. that 1t might attract and hold people as a calling. He pointed out that agri- culture is a strong character builder, and that farm life is without the artificialities' or urban existence.
 We should build better around our city workers" he added. We have a great need to develope for them the way to better homes and thus to strengthen family ties and provide better protection to chil- dren. Above all, we need to tune our economic machines so that we may give them freedom from great waves of unemployment and insecurity 10 liyelihood,"

HAYNES OPTIMISM

The statement by Roy A. Haynes, prohibition commissioner, in which he forccasted a final victory against illicit booze and drugs" of course will hearten all friends of rrohjbi- ton; those opposed 10 prohbiuon however, probably will not be en- tirely convinced, People usually believe what they like to believe. and here is a case in which both sides can take their pick and be happy,
 One cannot help getting the i'm precision the prohibition commits sioner utilized the opportunity as one justifying his administration of the office. It would be rather con trary 10 human nature for an off ciaI to admit his administration Of an office was besct with anything approaching failure.
 In declaring that the big bootleg operator is making his last stand" and the field is being rapidly dried up, the commissioner e,idenliy rc- ferrcd 10 the operation of coast guard vessels along the various rum rows. Granting that these have been successful. u would still leave large expansc of coast "unprotcct- ed" in the South Atlantic. Reports from Florida are to the effect thai the liquor supply from the West Indies has not yet been seriously curtailed. Perhaps Mr. Haynes has some scheme afoot 10 stem this tide, but until that is done his state ment that "real whiskey, wine, gin and brandy are practically unob- tainable now for beverage use" might be taken with grain oi salt.
 The battle against the illicit drug trade Is popular among all sensible people. The extent of this neIsrious

Para, modern city of l20. .000. at the Amazons mouth. stands in the shadow of the jungle wall---almost a solid one. of tree trunks and inter lacing vines.
 Three years ago met there the members of party just back from q 6month railroad reconnaissance in the interior. These mens faces were bleached to prison pallor. Never nnder a handmade roof the whole time, throughout that whole half year they had been cut off complete ly. by the jungle mat. from the sun.
 Productive Too much so; That Is to say, this country's superabund- ance of vegetable life makes it al- most impossible to clear and keep cleared. The jungle can be driven back only by slow degrees.
 Once driven back, it can be held back only by constant vigilance. Otherwise it regains it's own with astonishing rapidity. The best de- scription I've seen of it was written in lyric form for an English lansu- age publication at Rio de Janeiro. The versifier began:
 This Is the war to the very knife,
 Mankind against the trees Which. without sound of drum or
 fife,
 Tn silent ranks of floral life,
 Cling to the ground they seize"
 Not much as poetry, perhaps, but it tells the story.
