ELIMINATING SUMS

Eliminating the slums Of New York City - the huge aggregation Of rookeries on the East Side. liar lem and along the Hudson water front - has been 9 job frequent ly preached, occasionally attempt ed, but never executed. A deal of talk has been heard regarding the advisability of moving this vast un- dertow Of the metropolis popula- ton 10 suburban and semi-suburban districts; but the people who live in the slums cannot afford the bet ter residences in the suburbs. When they are able to afford better quarters they move to them of their own accord; the majority never move because their economic condition does not change.
 Hence the problem remains pretty much where it was for gen erations. The slums have been somewhat improved compared with the days when the law was less strict. Some rebuilding has been achieved and a few Of the most dis reputable sections have been vastly improved. On the whole. however, the slums remain. pitiful commcn- taries upon our civilization.
 The effort of August Heckscher, real estate operator and phiIan- thropist. to rebuild them has re- ceived the unstnted admiration and cooperation of Mayor Walker, It appears that Heckscher has a heart as we'll as money and pre- ltminary to beginning his great life project. he has departed for Flu rope to study the methods of elimi- ualing slums in England, Holland and Germany. He should be able 10 learn much. as the problem has been thoroughly studied on the other side and much progress made.
 The Heckscher plan. so far as il has germinated, is comparatively simple. l. Is 10 buy the rooherics, rebuild them, and rent them prac- ticaly at cost. If this is achieved, it will cost slum dwellers no more to live in no-pront modern quarters than ii does at present 10 live in high-proft rool<eries,
 All this may not occur within q few years; but if wealthy phiIan- thropists are really as philanthro- pie as they wish 10 be, the Heck schcr plan offers an opportunity to remake the outlook upon the East Side and other slUm districts, add greatly 10 The morale of the popu- lation dwelling there. and be q dis fnct economic benefit to the sub merged two million.

g Fears Ago Today

The Berlin driving park is being put into shape, some New Britain horses are in training there, and it is said that before many weeks have passed there will be some racing. The Berlin park has been used late ly only by the Berlin Agricultural society, bicyclsts, and the high school track team. Still it is con- yeniently located and a trolley runs .by il. One of the reasons for the failure of the New Britain Park as sociation's meetings was the diff .culty in reaching the grounds, no trolley coming nearer than the cor .ner of Arch and Winthrop streets and the street west of I.inWood be- ing like the rock road to Dublin.

And as it is said the patronage will have to be 200 pounds of mail a day in order 10 justify a continu- ance of the air mail in the future, it would appear that the efforts Of commercial interests to awaken a realization of the importance of proper use Of the new facility have been well taken. Now that New England is 10 enjoy the air mail, 1t would be a decided step backward if in the future the plan would have to be given up. Such q con- tingency would subject New Eng land 10 considerable caustic criti- cism from the remainder of the country.
 A minimum Of 200 pounds of mail per trip does not appear to be q good deal; but when 1t is realized that individual letters are not heavy, 900 pounds Of mail is con-
 iderable. If New England cannot provide 200 pounds of air mail daily it would mean it's commercial life is lacking in vitality and az gressiveness. The government has done it's duty; now it is the busi- ness of New England to show the postmaster general that an air mail route in New England is justified.
 New England ought to appreciate an overnight delivery of important mail to the middle west; and air mail connections at Chicago will yield a similarly quick service to other western, southwestern and northwestern cities. The American air mail service has become the most extensive system of its kind on the globe. Europe may surpass us in air passenger service; but we have annihilated distance with air mail such as has not been attempt ed elsewhere. New England is be- coming part of the vast loop this week; and once part of the system we ought to remain a part.
