CARI,LI,SSNESS IN FIRE DEPARTMENT

The custom has brcomu general In tho fro department to hno tire- man two days pay for incorrectly reading the tape, Thus. if the fro apparatus through such mistake is directed 10 q fire box at or near which there is no fire, while the ire IS busy burning elsewhere, the fire man who caused such a dangerous situation is certain o( no more scri- ouS punishment than the loss Of two days wages, Then he Is in the good srac"s Of the department until an other similar mistake is made, when he can console himself with the thought that Ihr worst that will happen 10 bum is the loss of another two days pay
 The system is the most mis- ch1c'ous that could he devised. In the first place. a fireman who mis- reads tha simple pcrroratons upon a tape ls guilty of gross negligence; . the tape is simple enough for a child 10 read But in order to make things alright and guard against even a remote possibility Of incor- rectiy reading the tape while in the throos Of excitement there is no reason why the tape should be read by merely ono man. Confirmation by two or three persons would take only a few seconds, and it is rare that our fast-fyiug fire apparatus leaves fire station quite that ! quickly.
 John F R. Kcevcrs chairman of the fire board, is dead set against the custom of hning fireman two days pay for such an infraction ot | the elementary rules Of CarofulneSS He believes each such case should be settled upon Its merits, or dc merits and that q uniform custom Of a uniform fine for an oncnse that in its results may not he uniform Is wrong in principle and bad ir practice, Mr. kcelers IS right. Tirr. men should not be permitted tc think it will be no great loss should they be careless in such an import. ant matter as reading the tape.

STATE OF TRADE NOT YET NORMAL

The state of trade is Of para mount importance 10 everyone, par ticularly 10 business men who arc inclined to watch the indices with eagle eyes. Here is what we find:
 Exports in April were the highest for that month during five years, The total was s40o,ooo.ooo. Imports also were high-s349oQo,o0Q.
 Bank clearings were at new high record.
 Freight cars Ioadings were better than normal,
 Cotton consumption showed 597- GOO bales, the highest for any month since 1917 with the exception Of three months in 1923. Yet there were reports of currailnlents in the cotton mills and reports of dull business in inc textile industry for several months.
 Building permits were at the highest figure ever known, except for March Of last ycar,
 In spite of aN this evident pros- perity many industries are below normal, with the outlook admitted Iy being for more curtaiIment. That further adjustments Of prices and production must be made is believed the only medicine able 10 bring these patients back 10 health.
 The times are peculiar, even in business One establishment may be enjoying cAc.acnt .radc, and another round the corner bc suffer inr.

CITY OF NEW HAVEN AND LEGISLATURE

The New Haven Journal-Couricr IS greatly incenscd over the fact that Representative John Lynch Of Orange has gone to Maine on a fish ing trip after having successfully led the fight 10 pass the Bridge port ripper bill" in the house, and after placing the bill 10 abolish the New Haven city school district at the bottom of the calendar, so that it will not come up for acticu until he returns. The JIG. says the pa ttence ot New Haven with the Legis- lature Is utterly exhausted.
 This challenge to the dignity Of this town should be accepted by it's representatives at the earliest op- rortunity," says the JIG. "The mo- ton should be made to take the school bill from the foot Of the calendar and be definitely started for a hearing in the near future without regard 10 the fishing en- agreements of MT. Lynch"
 As Mir. Lynch is pLscatorial paStimer his patience evidently is not exhausted as readily as that Of New Haven. Besides, he will argue, what business has New Haven to be bothered about what the Lcgisa- ture wants to do to 1t, New Haven ought to be prepared 10 accept what it gets and not be so churlish over it. To this Legislature every town is but dot on the map 10 be manglcd in the legislative washing machine.
 New Haven need expect little from the Legislature; its position there is like an uninvited guest at a June wedding.

 "On the island are l4o tnhabt' tants. who arc all related" he says, There are only five different names.

 To the military service, loved and served so faithfully by him. was the generals body entrusted for the last march to Arlington national ceme- tery, there to repose beside the body of his wife and among his com rades of three wars now sleeping beneath the grassy slopes.
 A troop or United States cavalry, an arm of the service which the general led so well in wrestling the western frontier from the Indians, assembled at the residence to escort the casket to St. Johns Episcopal church, where the simple rites Of that faith were prepared by Rev Dr, Robert Johnston. The solemn march to the cemetery, ending at the mausolcum constructed under the generals direction. followed on the program of ceremonies.
 Six gIistening black horses were selected to draw the laden calsSon, and officers of the army. navy ana marine corps were designated 10 rare beside them. Surrounding the eroup battnlions of soldiers. sailors and marines led by Brigadter Gem eraI Samuel D. Rockenhach, com msnder of the district of Washing ion. formed the escort of honor.

 Washington, May 10. ~-- Herbert Quick, the writer and ex-member of the Federal Farm Loan board, who died recently, was even more interesting face to face than in his extremely interesting books. had an office with him for awhile dur ing his early days as a lawyer in Iowa, was his secretary as mayor of Sioux City, and he took dinner at my house, here in Washington, not many days before hts death.
 He was just starting to write his memoirs, Indeed. he came into the capital, from his home at Berkeley Springs, W, Va, to talk over with me some of his adventures in which l mysel: had a share.
 Quick had known no end of cele- brities and eccentriclties, had had a hand in a, lot Of important and unusual happenings and told his ex- periences in the queerest way. He looked at them from an angle all his own not bit like any other angle.
 At the proper age for it, he had had infantie paralysis which left him, not crippled, but with a mo- ticeable peculiarity of gait. Intantile paralysis, he contendcd, was a very valuable thing to have had -- 1t greatly strengthened and improved the intellect. provided the patient lived.
 He didn't say that nobody became great who hadn't had it, but he did insist that practically everybody who did have 1t became great. Or possibly only the potentially great were subject to 1t. He wasn't sure
