TOBACCO GROWING MORE STABILIZED

President J. W. Alsop of the Con- necticut Valley Tobacco association has become something of an opti- mist. Looking over the map of the valley and noting the total of to- bacco acreage marked thereon in lead pencil marks, and noting the total duly added up on the margin of the map, he has discovered that the acreage has greatly decreased and the output likewise. Conse- quently there is reason to think the tobacco situation has been 'stabil- ized;" which is to say, prices will not show such a terrific tendency to follow the French and Belgian francs.
 Sales of the tobacco association this year have been less than for 1925. but they are more than s2,- uNu.VVV III tSCtsS OI lllN GlltS pul lilb 1924 and show even a greater ex- cess than during 1923. In the latter year they were only s3,405.012, while in 1926 - for the year end ing June 30 they were sS,649,- 145. Expenses the past year also have been greatly reduced.
 This looks like stabilization, all right. To the unsuspecting con- sumner. however, 1t sems 10 make no difference year in and year out, as he pays about the same for the same quality in cigars. If the re- duction in federal taxes has made any difference. he knows 1t not, or his taste may be too far gone to notice any difference.

DELAY IN BUILDING NEW CITY SCHOOLS

For some time 1t has been appar- ent that the work Of constructing the new schools to be added to the city's plant this fall was not pro- ceeding as swiftly as had been an- ticipated. With scarcely more than six weeks before their expected opening for use, 1t has been fn- conceivable that the work still re- maining to be done could be com pleted. The city, therefore, will have to begin the new school year with the same facilities it had at Its dis posal last year. and will need to continue in this fashion for about a month. Inconvenience and over crowding will result, as the school enrolment is expected to be larger; but citizen. can console themselves with the knowledge it will be only temporary.
 When the three buildings under construction are completed and in use, the city will be able to take stock of its enhanced school plant and feel a just pride in the new buildings. The new Lincoln school and the Roosevelt school, especially. will be magnificent additions to the primary grades, and the Nathan Hale Junior high school, less ad- vanced in construction than the others and due to be occupied later, likewise will be source of pride to the city.
 But these will not be all the new buildings under way The school committee is to make clean sweep in the school situation and solve its problems by following out the big gest school building program in the history of the city, one that will not only be to the clty's present or near present advantage. but which will fill it's needs for years to come.

TEXAS AND BIOLOGY

And now We have it from New York that the publishers of school text books centering there have agreed to censor their volumes for use in Texas, so that budding childhood in that commonwealth may not be contaminated by gain ing any ideas in the public schools as 10 what evolution is about. It is surprising that inc publishers of school books are so accommodating, giving 10 Texas special editions of books with "obnoxious" passages dolctcd. especially when a reading shows such passages to be eminent ly harmless. If this thing keeps up there will be a different set of school books for every state where attempts are made 10 ignore the theory of evolution.

A SNAPPY VICTORY
 FOR DELANEY

That few sporting events ellclt the widespread public interest Of an important prizefight - or boxing bout, as they now are termed - has again been proven beyond q doubt. Church street in front of the Her ald office last night was jammed from wall to wall by a crowd that in dimensions rivaled those which customarily watch the Herald score board during the world series games. More emphatic testimony of the popularity of fistic encounters could scarcely be imagined. New names and new faces are in the ring. but the interest is just as keen despite the competition of other sports that have developed toi- lowing. as when John l.. Sullivan Bob Fitzsimmons and sunny Jim Corbett were the stellar lights.
 A light heavyweight" combat is just below the weight standard set for heavywcights and it is still ap- parent that the heavier the contes- tants the greater the interest. The lively contest between Paul Berlen- bach. title holder, and Jack De- laney. his challenger was one or those outstanding affairs in puglIis- tie annals which will keep the fight fans Tanning for many a day. The pluck and courage of the Bridge port battler whose brilliant work was mcgaphoned 10 the thrilled Herald audience receved its re- ward in winning thr championship by the judges decision after the 10th round. That it was popu- lar outcome hereabouts was attested bv the shout Of satisfaction thai followed announcement Of the pass ing of the championship honors 10 inc Bridgeport boy.
 There may be those who .depre- cate the popularity of the manly art" but they have a hopeless bat tie on their hands if they would stop them. Purged Of all evil features and regulated by state boxing com missions. boxing has been placed on an honest footing. greatly 10 the satisfaction Of the millions who de sire such sport More could moi bo asked.

THE HARDING MEMORIAL

Tomorrow, Memorial Day, the corner stone of the Harding memorial at Marion, Ohio, will be laid with appropriate ceremo- nies The work on the foundation has been under way for some time and the marble work will be started early in June. It is hoped to have the memorial completed sol that 1t can be dedicated November 2, the an- niversary of the late Presidents birth, and the day upon which he was elected to the Presidency in 1920
 The Harding memorial, which will be the costliest and most magnificent ever erected in memory of departed President of the United States, with the exception, of course, of the Lincoln memorial in Washing ton and the Washington monument, will be 80 feet in diameter and B feet high. The plan is that of Grecian-Roman temple an open circle of white marble It occupies a site on one of the main roads leading to from the porch of which Mr. Harding con- ducted his memorable campaign in 1920.
 The Harding home was bequeathed by Mrs. Harding to the Harding memorial as sociation together with the furniture used in the Presidents lifetime, and all presents, souvenirs and mementos received during the Harding administration. The lower floor of the house has been converted into museum and small fee is charged for ad- mission. The money thus received will be used to endow the home and erect larger building that will be more suitable store house for the Harding relics.
 Funds sufficient to complete the Hard ing memorial have been subscribed, but ad- ditional money will be required to complete the landscape and provide for it's proper up- keep. Undoubtedly, the American people will contribute generously to this fund, that the memorial erected in honor of one of the most beloved of Presidents, may be main tained in the right way.
