so called?
The Great Dipper has been called
a "wain" or a wagon" since the
time Of Homer at least. In England
It was formerly called Arthur's
Vain, apparently on account of the
similarity between arthur" and
the name of the adjacent bright star
"Arcturus;" and then came to be
called Charles Vain, that Is, Char
lemagne's, according to the new
Englis,a Dictionary, on account of
the association in mems minds of
the two great heroes of romance,
Arthur and Charlemagne. Charles
Vain" or simply 'the Vain is the
usual English name for these stars

Who were the might Ridersg"

Bands Of masked and armed men
who have operated at night at in
tervals since 1907 and have terror
ICED certain sections OF the south
east and southwest regions Of the
United States. Their object has been
to reduce the production Of tobacco
and cotton by destruction Of grow
ing crops and to dictate the disposal
of those commodities. They are
mostly small farmers and tenants
who have a sort of military organ
ization, with spy and information
systems and a code Of signals, grips,
passwords and countersigns. The
maximum number is supposed to be
between 5000 and 10000. They first
appeared in Kentucky and Tennessee
and have operated also in sections
Of Arkansas, Georgia, Ohio, Indiana,
and Louisiana. The last outbreak Of
any consequence was in 1909-1910.

THE DEBT CURVE OF NEM BRITAIN

According 10 the figures Of the city comptroller and quoted by Mayor Weld, the net debt of the city Is $5,S7L5SS.61. Former Mayor George A. Quigley, in one Of his hectic speeches during the mayor alty primaries, propounded that the debt of the city has been increas- ing al the rate of S40o.0Qo q year during the last six years. If that average is maintained this year the debt will go comfortably - or un- comfortably above the six mil lion dollar mark by the end of the year. And unless the grand list takes a huge lurch forward within the year, the margin of possible in- debtedness will so below the mill lion dollar mark, the margin at present being $1,256,922.S2.
 Of course. the debt limit will in crease as the grand list rises; but there is the average Of S400, coo in- creased indebtedness a year. Will that average be reduced this year or will it be increased? This is one of the little appalling" problems confronting the Weld administra- tion

With the new law in effect the railway labor board. creature of the transportation act Of 1920. goes out Of existence.
 Considering that inc railway ja- bor board lacked the vestige of power 10 enforce it's decisions, and the railroads and the hrotherhoods and other railroad workers ignored it when it was to their convenience 10 do so, there is little lost 10 tn" public in inc demise Of this board. In place or the labor board We are 10 have boards of adjustment board Of mediation consisting of five members appointed by the President by and with the advice and consent of the Senate; and finally. if all these fail the Prcsi- dent Is empowered 10 appoint an emergency board and report to him within go days

MHEN ACTS ARE SIGNED

Litigation over the requirement by the state of the McCook land at East Lyme adjoining the Seaside sanatorium has centered upon whether the Legislative act of 1925 is invalid considering Governor Trumbull did not sign 1t within three days after it's passage, as the interpretation of the state consti- tuition provides. The governor did not sign the act until 19 days later.
 Considering that Governors Bald win. Holcomb. Lake, Templeton and Trumbull all have signed legis lative enactments later than three days after passage, it would seem that there is sufficient precedent for such delay. This is the stand taken by Judge C. l.. Avery of the Superior court in denying the pc titioners against the state.
 It may he that an exact inter pretation Of the constitution would require the signing of acts within three days. but this technicality has been allowed 10 lapse in nu- merous cases. If the McCook land act is found invalid on appeal 10 inc Supreme court then numerous other moro important legislative acts likewise are open to the sus- picion Of being illegal. Funda- mentally all technical details Of the constitution should at all times be followed, but when distinguished iurists do not do so if is evidence that some constitutional tochuicali- ties are not considered as impor- tant as the spirit Of the document

One cannot do aught else than admire the Coolidge administration Tor its ability to keep on good terms with everybody. Scarcely had the dust from the Pennsylvania primary died down when Ware the victor was embraced. flguratively speaking. and regarded as one Of the faithful.
 The same happy result followed the primary in Illinois. Senator Mo Kinley, staunch administration senator. was defeated by Colonel Frank l.. Smith. What happened? :? simply that Colonel Smith was in- vited to Washington for confer ence and all is we'll
 In Indiana Senators Watson and Robinson, feeling the brunt of op- position to the World Court before the primaries, refused 10 vote for the court and thus abandoned a prime administration policy But that didn't lower them in the esti- nation of the administration. Both senators were renominated as staunch upholders of Coolidgeiana and continue to stand ace-high in Washington.
 Now if former Senator Brook hart succeeds in wrestling the nomi- nation from Senator Cummins in Iowa. will it happen that Brook hart will be invited 10 the councils of tbc mighty in Washington and be given the protection of the ad- ministration2

GERMANY. POISON GAS, AND DISARMAMENT

II is one of tho peculiar Quirks of history that the nation which was the first 10 introduce poison gas into warfare is now the chief European advocate Of it being barred from civilized" warfare in the future. And the same nation, which developed dirigibles 10 a point where they foated like spectres Of wrath over contiguous enemy territory and across the waters 10 England, favors the abolishment Of airplanes. And even further. the nation which once gloried in the Krupp cannon works, which built "big Berthas" that curved death-dealing shells into Paris from q distance Of 75 miles, is even against the use Of heavy artillery.
 Count yon Bernstorff, who made these proposals before the prepara- tory disarmament commission at Geneva. Of course is actuated by more than a mere desire 10 hu- manize warfare. The Treaty of Versailles has abolished these things to a very low minimum in Germany, so that the German gov ornment can well afford 10 take the view that being unable to indulge in such armament herself, her neighbors might be reduced to the same standard.
 Irrespective Of these considera- lions. however, it is well that these views obtain in Central Europe, The desired security of surround ing nations will be more easily ob- tained when such thoughts actuate the government at Berlin. Yet there still is interminable talk about security" as if that can possibE he obtained through heavy armaments. Security is merely rela- i've. Six nations, all armed 10 the teeth, gill eminently lack security; inc same six nations, armed but little, will have the same relative security as if loaded with arma- ment and will have much l4ss on their minds 10 create that distrust which is the kernel of insecurity.
 The Scandinavian nations seem to require less security than many others because they lack the quail ties of distrust and suspicion, Hence they showed the way to dis arm. and without talk, conferences or bargaining. In other words, they disarmed regardless of what other nations thought said or did.
 Too many other nations on the continent are trying to eyade the issue because they are unwilling 10 go 10 the lengths of the Scandi- navian nations. The proximity of the Russian bear, for one thing, flinders them; awakened national ism and dreams of glory stir others: imperialism and territorial aggrandlzement are in1aming fac tors The ways of the past conflict with the more enlightened posai- bilities of the future, and too many statesmen have failed to learn the inevitable consequences of fancied security resting upon the quick sands Of ancient and discredi,ed methods.
 But in defiance Of these rem nants Of past failings. international accord has been accelerated through the agencies of inc League Of Ma lions, the I.ocarno pacts, the 5-5-% agreement and treaties between in- diyidual nations All is not as black IS the debates at the preparatory commission would indicate Nobody wants q major war nowadays, whereas formerly scarcely anyone seemed greatly 10 object.
