EOOI1SHNIS>

The recent suggestion of Repre- sentative Hamilton Fish. Jr" that the government invoke the Logan act of 1799 against Americans who 20 abroad and vent their persona ! opinions about foreign debts and other Eoyernmentai matters WAS foolish and no credit 10 the Nc" York representative.
 The Logan act merely torb'ds negotiations of private American citizens with a foreign government or it's representatives 10 influence the conduct of such government toward America, It could not pos sibIy be applied to citizens who air their personal views abroad.
 Another foolish declaration is to can such American citizens nor ons,n which was done by certain commentator recently. Otto Il Kahn. the New York banker may have his faults, but if he is a "mor' on" many other citizens would like to he that type of q moron"
 Another foolish proceeding is fo' e---..--.- ,-,,-sr,,n,ents 10 pay any at tsntion to the personal views O ,r,oriean citizens travelling abroad The only American views that eoun to Europe m Europe or in Ah'S'"' ,rs sba views of the American so' srnment or it's officials.

SILK STOCKINGS

Even the President of the United States takes note of silk stockings.
 Returning from his trip to the northwest, the President let it be known that one of the evidences of prosperity he noted was the fact that so many of the womenfolE wore silk hosiery, Here Is how he put 1t 10 newspaper men:
 T notice that most of the women and young girls-and l presume that you newspaper observers also took note of if, because little es- capes your attention wore silk stockings"
 The wearing of silk stockings however, cannot any longer be taken as a form of luxury. With most girls on parade, it is either q case of wearing silk stockings or long skirts. The latter are con sidered an abominahon nowadays and stamp the wearer as being be- hind the times,
 Silk stockings are as nect ssari nowadays as bustles were seFeta generations ago.

Sleep

(Wih a bow to Bernard Brady) Young people grow vile they sleep, vile older people snore. Ba- bies half to sleep more than other people because they have the long est ways to grow.
 IL is impossible to sleep and do pnything else at the same time. This is the reason wy you cant go to sleep and still keep on lissenlng to somebody snore, so you often half to be satisfied to jest lissen to the snoring even if your ambition is to be sleeping,
 Most people that snore deny 1t Ii you tell them, being one of tfs easiest things to deny because no body can prove it to you vile vol are awake.
 | One of the funniest sounds there are is people snoring at the sam' time.
 If you dreem you are. falling of of a. roof or running erround loos' in yur underware yu wake II thinking, Herray it was ony dreem, but If you dreem you ar having ice creem eating contes with free ice creem you wake II thinking, G, it was ony dreem.
 Some things that keep you fror going 10 sleep are cats, mosquitoes and the itch.

EAGLE SCOUT IN
 HIGH CAMP POST
James Beach, IS Years Old,
 Achieves Unusual Distinction

Eagle Scout James Beach has been appointed second assistant camping director by the local Boy Scout coun- ell and will take up his duties when the 1925 camp opens at Jobs pond on Saturday, July {. This ap- pointment Is unusual in view of the fact that Scout Beach is but is years of age. but he has been in scouting for seven years and has bean a most valued aid at Camp Kemosahbee for a number of years, being given a special award last year as the most helpful scout in Camp. His ad- rancement is thus but recognition of what he has been in ths past.
 Scout Beach joined Troop 4 at the First Congregational church seven years ago and rapidly advanced to the rank of eagle scout, the pinnacle of scouting achievement. For the past year he has also been acting scoutmaster of the troop at the New ington Home for Crippled Children. At the field day last Saturday he won the city title in friction fre- making and Morse signalling, and was a member of the champion knot-tying team. He is also a mem- Der of the Boy Scout Bugle corps.
 Scout Executive Walter o. Cook will again act as camp director while Charles Chuck" vibberts has once more been secured as first as' sistant. Dr. E. II. Hand was ap' pointed second assistant during ths spring but will attend summer uni versity courses and has been re placed by Scout Beach.
 Isaac Daniels, negro chef Of th' University club. New Haven. ha been secured to cook the grub fo the scout campers this year. He ha been nine years in his present posi- ton in the Elm City and the NeE Britain council obtained his service only because the club closes for tn summer.

THE REAL EMPIRE STATE

New York dislikes 10 take licking" This does not refer to the baseball teams of the metropolis but to the state at large. And the New York World is somewhat ir1t- tatod over the discovery that the Empire State has been forced to take second place as an exporting commonwealth, Texas now exports more goods than New York.
 Merchandise shipped from Texas ports last year totalIed s7S1,69$'ooo' forcing New York into second place for the first time.
 During the same year Texas crowded Iowa out of first place Ill the value of farm products pro- duced. Only a few years previously Texas took first place in railroad mileage, wrestling the honors, about evenly divided up to that timc' from Illinois and Pennsylvania,
 The population of Texas is no" larger than was the population ot all the IS colonies when they thre" off the yoke of Great Britain, It IS believed the next census will place it fourth in population, passing Ohio as it did Missouri
 Texas is so large that Connecncu would make fair-sized county II it.

By CHARLES r. STEWART NEA Service Writer

Washington, June Ii. - Wash. ington, as nation law-making head quarters, senses popular reaction setting in against the last few years hysteria of regulating evcrybody's personal habits, conduct, morals, even thought, by statute.
 You hear politicians, whose busi- ress is to keep in touch with pub lie sentiment throughout the coun- try, constantly referring to a grow ing resentment among the people against so much legislation.
 The consensus of political opln- ion is that puritanism has over reached itself.
 Up to a certain point the average American, something of a puritan himself, might have stood 1t in definitely. But the ultra -puritans kept at t until they'd pass that point--far and away.
 The average American -- a greal many of him, anyway -~ Is sick oi it, and now he's making up hi mind to get rid of a lot of restraints that otherwise perhaps he'd have submitted to. That's the poIitician'' diagnosis, at all events.
 Lately the tendency away iron restrictive laws has been hastene' by a few developments which mad them ridiculous. The prolonge' failure of prohibition to prohiol was weighing heavily already.
 Then came the coast guards Vlo lent burst of activity against TUT smuggling, exciting, at the sam time, considerable indignation owe the prodigious expense involved and a vast amount of mirth at tn entire absence of any result tha liouor consumers are able to dis cern.
 The stampede from Detroit Windsor, Ontario, on the resumr ton of beer-selling there, caused laugh. Recent gestures by the ant tobacconists caused another.
 The attempt in the Florida legi Iature to outlaw the word "happel caused a third. Tennessees ant evolution case is helping liberalis notably.

BRISTOL RETALIATION

In common with other cities, in rludine New Britain, the board Of assessors in Bristol are making 8 revaluation of real estate, the only difference being that in Bristol the work has started while in New Britain the preliminary details are being discussed,
 "Business property will be in- creased to a greater extent than the private home properties, advices from board members indicate, v read a sentence in yesterdays Brls- tol news in the Herald.
 This is something that should in terest the land valuation committee If New Britain, which has been contemplating doing just the re- verse in this city.
 Private home owners are to be encouraged, not discouraged.
 Most private homes today arc worth less than few years ago especially in 1921, when the last re- va1uation was undertaken. Down town business property is wor'l more, It is the increased number 0 private homes and apartments 1T the outlying districts that increaS' the value of downtown realty Wh! should their owners be punished for creating these increased values

 The propositions supporters also made what they concede now was the mistake of maintaining that SO ciety's rights over the child are su- perior to the parents. .....
