GENERAL BUTLER AND
 HIS FAILURE

Brigadier General smedley Dar- linston Butler could not put Phila- dolphia to sleep, The City of Broth erly Love dearly loves a fighter, but the brethren also love their liquor, After 20 months Of drying up" the town still remains as damp as Mon treal. A place where such rank dis obedience Is shown by the rank and Ale to the commands of an army officer Is no place for the officer,
 The attempt to dry up Philadel- phia with the aid of general from the marines partly failed because Of resentment at the innovation. This resentment not only permeated the citizens generally but found lodge ment In the minds of the police, city officials and apparently also the city magistrate, General Buffers mop was kept busy but convictions didn't keep pace with his efforts.
 No one can blame the general for being disguested with the job. It Is much nicer to be popular than get the razz.

THE PARK BOARDS
ECONOMY

Citizens will be inclined to com mend the Park Board for refusing to provide additional bleachers at Willow Brook park this year, in view of the fact that such action would have compelled an overhaul in this years appropriations.
 Providing sufficient bleachers to accommodate the public desiring to attend games, particularly the falls football "classic" between the New Britain and Hartford high schools, would be a popular move; but one yay to practice economy is for the .citys administrative departments to keep within their appropriations.
 The refusal to provide the need ed bleachers may also have been a neat way to emphasize to the city that the board needs a larger ap- propriation if all the needs in the parks are to be supplied. The board did not get as much as it de- sired when the budget was pre- pared and here is sterling proof that a needed improvement could have been nrOyided had the funds been sufficient. The way to get such essentials is to provide the money.

Yours truyl,
 J. B. Alice.

Sir
 Another peculiar feature joker?) in the new charter amendments necessitates simplifying the writer's statement regarding the power of the common council to remove the board of adjustment,
 The other cities in the state un- der the general statute governing zoning and most of the special sta tutes examined, may remove this board by majority vote of the com- mon council. In Hartford, the only exception found, the power of re- moval is vested in "the mayor and four members of the court of com- Imon council" Under any of these laws, such a provision as that in the proposed ordinance here requiring a. two-thirds vote of the common council would be invalid, Section [, chapter ASA. special acts, 1925.
 But it develops that there is a provision in the new charter amend ments of New Britain requiring a two-thirds vote Why?
 Tn view of the fact that in New Britain alone, apparently, among all the cities in Connecticut, can such board absolutely block any at- tempt by the common council to amend the zoning plan, why should such an additional restriction be rlaced on the power of removal?
 The broad discretion given this board to grant special exemptions from the strict requirements Of the 7oning ordinance opens the way tc Iabuses which can only be prevented or remedied by the exercise of tho power of prompt removal as con templated in the Hartford charter
 Further. the writer has been in formed. in reply to an inquiry. tha there are no minutes of the zoninl committee which prepared the new map and the draft of the proposed ordinance.
 How can one know what change have been made in the map, an' how authorized, since the public In spection at the beginning of the pre- liminary hearings,
 Is there not ample reason to urg the common council to defer actioi until copies of the map and ord' nance shall be available, opportunit given to obtain and study them an proper public hearing held a contemplated by the law? Has the original draft of the ma | reported missing a while ago bee 5 found?

DYING, LEFT CLUE
Slain ". (. T, L. Leader In Iowa Mentioned Name Of Youth Who May Be Sought As Her Slayer.

Vinton. Iowa, Sept, 14 R}-Mrs Myrtle Cook. slain w. C. T. U, pres ident, and head of the women's organization of the ku KluX Klan in Benton County, whispered the name of a Vinton youth to those gathered about her deathbed shortly before she died from a bullet wound.
 Mrs. S, w. Cook, her mother-in- law, admitted last night that she had heard the name as spoken but withheld comment, preferring to wait until officers were present be- fore divulging the name.
 State agents were out of town yes terday, checking up on clues. They were admittedly working on two angles, one that c. B. Cook, husband of Mrs. Cook, who told officers he was at Crundy Center, Iowa, fifty miles from the scene ot the murder Monday night, knows more of the shooting than he has indicated. The second theory is that the murderer was either a liquor or drug addict and that he committed the act while in q half crazed condition.

15 MILLION DOLLARS
 FOR JEWISH RELIEF
Drive For This Amount Is To Be Launched At The Earliest
 Possible Moment.

Philadelphia, Sept. IA R>-A cam. paign to raise $15, 5,000,000 for Jew- ish relief in various foreign coun- tries will soon be inaugurated by Jews of America. The fund will be administered by the joint distribu- ton committee of America.
 Launching of the drive tat. the earliest possible moment" was au- thorized in a resolution adopted last night by the national conference of Jewish relief organizations at their closing session. The resolution, which was hailed as pact of amity sailing the accord of all sections of Jewish opinion, was adopted only after warm debate by the opposing factions led by Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, chairman of the committee on the colonization of the Jews in Pal- estine, and Louis Marshall, leader of 1 the Russian colonization section.
 In addressing the conference after the passage of the resolution, Rabbi Wise said he believed the misunder- standing among Jewish leaders had been partly due to the unnecessary stress upon the term Russian col- onization'." MT. Marshall declared that while the agreement did not call for additional work by the joint distribution committee, i've have reached a conclusion that we will assist the Zionist group as much as possible in the building up of Pal estine."
 Gifts of $1,ooO.OoO and $4oo, 900 towards the fund were made by Julius Rosenwald of Chicago. and Felix VI. Warburg, New York, re- specuvely.

third of the children of all races go to school in ceuta and Melilla. tho Spanish centers; ports, bridges and public works are non-existent, When the Spanish protectorate was cloak for German penetration the Germans made beginning In building up the country, and started to construct a port at Larache when the war came, Spain never com pleted the port plans, and the chance to obtain the most import ant port in western Africa was muf- fed,
 In the French protectorate there is everything that Is lacking in the Spanish zone. Marshal Lyautey es- tablished schools, built roads, pro- vided clinics, hospitals, civic serv- Ices, No imperialism since Rome ever brought out such miraculous results in such short time--it was all done since 1917. Lyautey's sys- tenn of education insists upon uni- versal compulsory education in the primary schools, free instruction In secondary schools, and provides free scholarships for university ed ucation, In Fez there are five public clinics seven hospitals and three free public dispensaries. The wide prevalence of social disease among the Arabs Is fought with every re- source of science. The sewerage sys- tenn, water supply and sanitation services are as good as in France.
 All this will not be swept away by the Moroccan war unless the Moslem troops under the French flag bend over to the Moslem holy war idea. This they have not yet done in appreciable numbers Krim proclaimed himself the sultan, with N uounger brother heir-apparent, thus breaking the traditional law that only actual descendants of the prophet can be sultan. The real sultan Is Mulay Yussef, whom the French recognize as such and who has been their patron saint, diplo- matically speaking. The Moslem troops under the French flag recog- nize Yussef as sultan; those under Krim recognize Krim as such. Upon the possibilities of this alignment remaining intact depends the for tunes of the war.
 The Riffians are not Arabs. They are race of blue-eyed, sturdy men Scientists have concluded they are the descendants of Norsemen who landed on the coast of Alhucemas in the 12th century. Their crania characteristics are the same as those of the Nordic races. That they are nordics Is no longer doubted
 Tn due time after they got there
 these Norsemen accepted the Mos
 lem religion.
 The Rif1an army, of course, k
 no longer composed of Riffians onl! most of 1t is composed of Arab who sided with them after tn earlier successes against Spain. Tn military equipment used by Krim'
 forces was smuggled from Algeria and one third of it Is of FrenCl
 manufacture, which betokens mucl
 laxity along the Algerian border
 but then, the border is rather eX tensive. Krim recently said he ha all the war supplies he needs for long time-if the French don't cap
 ture too much of 1t.

THEATER DEALS REFLECT
 CONFIDENCE

Operating theaters profitably means gauging public taste and giV- ing the people the kind of enter tainment they like at a price they can afford to pay. The wide use Of films as means of entertainment has made it possible to do both these things on a scale unknown before the age of the screen.
 Although the screen undoubtedly injured the spoken drama or legitimate stage, it at the same time has enormously increased the total of theaters, In the smaller cities the top notch of theatricals consists of mixture of the films and vauleville the spoken drama has been hr-cl1 confined to the larger cities. In the case of those cities which might be large enough to justify calls by road shows occa- sionally. the screen has offered such stiff competition that road shows no longer call. Innumcrable cities or New Britains size, some of which once were regarded as fallow soil for troupes have entirely gone over to "vodvil and pictures, s,' while thousands of smaller towns winch formerly were barren of theatricaI entertainment now have at least pictures.
 The cities that could support q road troupe at intervals but now flo not. realize the new dlspensa' ton IS not all gain. But nothing car ha done about it, the films are here to stav, the "legitimatc' stage has been driven from the small me tropou. and the rising generator in them will probably never kno" the thrills of seeing nj least severa star actors in New York plays down at the opera house each sea son The sad rising generation | being brought up on the celluloi' "drammor" instead, with cloI dancers. acrobats, rltter-patte comedians and dttty singing 'hrovl in.
