PLEASING EVERYBODY IS NO EASY TASK

To please everybody all the time is one of those little difficulties of life that add to the zest of living.
 When the Connecticut company started its busses between here and Hartford there was complaint by the mayor that the line competed with the Oak street busses.
 Then. to meet this criticism according to the Connecticut com pany-the Hartford busses were run "express" to Commonwealth avenue.
 Now come residents of Fremont ktreet, which adjoins Oak street, with the complaint that they object to being forced to walk to Oak Street to get on bus.
 If Mayor Paonessa has the mak- ings of Philadelphia lawyer he may be able to evolve some method of placating the Fremont street residents, the Oak street bus com pany and the Connecticut company. Otherwise the Public Utilities Com mission will have to settle it-un- less the Connecticut company settles it by arranging for stops on Tre- mont street.

ON THE DEATH OF ALBERT F. ROCKWELL

Albert F. ROckWel, BTlStOl man u- facturer and philanthropist, was one of the industrial field marshals of Connecticut. He combined foresight energy and natural ability; his organizing talent approached gen. Jus. It is shock to this section of the state that fate did not spare him longer life.
 |. Outstanding success in any field arrests attention; and in the case of MT. Rockwell his consistent rise from a small manufacturer en- ploying a few men, to one of the largest in Connecticut, provided a profitable study in human industrial achievement. And when MT. Rock well had attained the pinnacle of fame and fortune he ingratiated himself further into The good will of his fellow citizens by being philan- thropist with sound instincts Of public requirements. He was par ticularly interested in providing parks and playgrounds.
 Perhaps it was somewhat in the nature of an accident that MT, Rockwell came to Connecticut, but the state gained greatly through this chance. It is possible that he might have remained in business in Florida had an epidemic not made this undesirable after his business there had been firmly established; 1t is possible he might have remain ed in the middlewest had a worthy opportunity offered, But the op- portunity came in Connecticut, and the Nutmeg state was the gainer through his removal here.
 The year of Mr. RockwelIs ar rival in Bristol-1SSS-is not so very long ago in the flight of time Yet in approximately 25 years he had established himself as one oi the greatest industrial leaders ot the state. It was an astonishing re- suit to achieve in such a compaia- atively short time.

A ZERO YEAR IN FRENCH FINANCES

The franc has been fuctuating recently, why?
 When the House of Morgan a year ago foatcd loan to France with the avowed purpose of pre- venting the franc from dropping Iower--it was 2S francs to the dol lar at that timc-it was assumed that the French monetary tangIe had been permanently solved. But the franc has again gone down to around 19 10 the dollar with a little improvement shown the past few days due to Nj. Hcrriots insistence there would be no imitation.
 The cause of this currency ln- stability is due largely to the French pcople themselves. who appear to have lacked confidence in the future Of their money. This may be due 10 tbc fact that government sccuri- ties in France totalling face value of s5.ooo, 900. OoO become due this year. Large quantities Of francs have been sent abroad by French financial institutions and converted into other monetary mediums and into securities-at q discount.
 The best estima,e' of the French national debt indicates it is in cN- cess of 4oo,Ooo,ooo,ooo francs, not taking into consideration the great increase in the external debt due tc tbe fall of the franc from par and the constantly increasing accrued interest. Of the total debL 2So,oo"'- oOo. GOO francs are internally held bv French investors; the foreign deb, has remained unchanged since 1919 at 126,OOO.OOO,Ooo francs
 The lack of confidence of the French people in their government year ago was caused by the fail ure Of the government 10 tul'l' nromiess made by Poineare before entering the Ruhr that he could force Germany to pay the rapid

THE EXPLORER RESTS WHERE HE FELL

Floyd Collins enters upon his eternal sleep al the spot where he was struck down by a boulder 6U feet underground, The decision not to attempt 10 bring the body to tho surface in face of the risk to the lives of volunteer workers no doubt was wise one. The loss of one life under such narrowing circum- stances is sufficient
 The explorer loved caves; he had always wished his last resting place to be an underground cavern in his native hills. Under the circum- stances it is perhaps fitting that his earcophagus should be where he met his end.
 The brotherhood of man was em- phasized in the efforts to release Floyd Collins. Not only did men risk their lives at the site, but the hearts of innumerablc persons were touched throughout tho country spurring them to donasS sufficient

SOULS OF PRISONERS FLY THROUGH THE AIR

Prison inmates are not supposed to be inclined to sing, or to play musical instruments. They are men undergoing punishment for their sins against society. Their chalk faces and sullen languor are com monly regarded as no fit company with the spiritual uplift of deluct strains of harmony.
 But the other night thousands Of radio listeners were jolted from the ennui of their quiet uneventful eve ming enjoyment by hearing music from the Charlestown, Mass, state prison.
 It was as if the souls of men es- capped from prison for the night The orchestra and choir of the in stitution gave an astoundingly beau tiful concert. Some of the players were artists upon their instruments Of 11O "lifers' in She prison one is said 10 be the worlds greatest manipulator of drums; but he had killed a man in a row over a woman.
 And as they played and sang fathers explained to little children that the men who were furnish ing the music were criminals who had been placed behind prison walls as a punishment and as a protec' tion to others. As the music swell ed and rose to a mighty climax more sympathetic mothers suggested thai there still must be beauty left 1T their souls.
 Many a conscience among tn listeners whispered in a wee, sma voice that the listener should eN' 1 change a place with one Of thos' contributing to the music

THE URGE TO INITIATE
 TWO INSTANCES

The urge to initiate is strong In tho human makeup. To initiate a good deed is laudable; 10 initiate a bad deed or a mistake is folly,
 When boys play Indian, they are initiating something they read about in the school histories, or in "wild western" novel, or saw at q moving picture show.' That acci- dents occur while youngsters play at this game is a familiar fact know to all newspaper readers.
 In a small town in Pennsylvania a 13-ycar- boy the other day played Collins in the ave" He crawled into an abandoned coal mine and was crushed under q heavy fall of rock.
 In Paris last week an actress shot and killed her 1lanCe to put him out of his suffcrings, due to an in curable disease. A jury promptly acquitted her.
 Eight days later the actress had an imitator. A woman tcld the DO. lice she had shot and killed hel sister to end her sufferings from hopeless disease.
 In this imperfect world there arc bad deeds and bad situations that unfortunately will be initiated. Bu' we can rest assured that there arc also a horde of good deeds that are initiated.
 Imitation Of tragedy may attrac more attention than imitation o good deeds. That is one of the diff ferences between the two kinds O limitations.

Why I Love Maple Trcas
Ry pr Walter F.. Traprock

By pr. waiter F.. lraproch
 As @ young man the United States government employed me as head ranger in charge of the Yer mont hardwood forests. My job was to protect them from fire and thieves.
 One day, trailing pair of sus- poets, I became aware that l, too, was being trailed by a husky black bear who had just come out of his winter quarters, at which time they are ravenously hungry and very ugly. Mir. Bear had spotted me, and was after me with blood in his eye With only small hand-aXe as weapon l knew that he would fell me with the first swat of his paw. To climb was my only hope. Un- fortunately, that is & game that a bear can play at mighty well.
 However, I started up a large maple tree with considerable agil- ity. the bear hot after me. And then, suddenly, an idea ... whip ping out my are I gashed the tree just below me, striking deep and hard
 Instantly the honey-sweet sap welled forth, pure molten sugar. The bear gave a wild squeal of de- light, encirclod the tree, and pressed his muzzle against the bark, gulp- ing down the sap with horrid, suck | ing sounds like q vacuum cleaner in distress. while ], unobserved, climbed down the other side and made off.
 And that, my friends, is why l especially esteem the maple.
