that the Florida boom has been somewhat fattened.
 It was only recently that a few development companies there found themselves In financial difficulties, and in New York investors in Florida land formed protective committee.
 The little difficulty being ex- perienced in the end wills be of benefit to Florida. Too much blah is bound to result in a setback. Florida may as well have it now, do a little housecleaning. and get back on a sound and stable basis. The state has a great future. and it can scarcely be overdrawn or ex- aggerated; but the gentry who tried to get the money of spectators needed a combing. The northern spectators who now know they were suckers gained that experience which may be guide in the fu- ture.

OUR AIR MAIL AND ITS POTNDAGF.

Frantic efforts are being made. and rightly, to increase the pound age of the New England airmail, which was inaugurated on July 1 In Boston, where the greater part of the patronage is looked for, leading business men, bankers and the Chamber of Commerce is making a herculean effort to increase it's business. Even salesmen will be sent out to interest business firms in sending mail to the west by the planes.
 The cause for this display of ef- fort is due 10 the low poundage of mail carried since the opening day of the service. At first if was stated there would have 10 be 200 pounds Of mail carried daily to make the service pay. Now the daily pound age for paying purposes seemingly  has been reduced 10 150 pounds. The average poundage actually car ried, according 10 q Boston paper. has been 30 pounds.
 Thirty pounds day most cer- tainly is rot enough. New England will have 10 do many times better than that 10 keep the airmail, There is hope for the future, however as the summer is a poor time for pro- perly trying out such an eXpcri- ment. The Vauntcd industrialism and commercial importance Of New England would receive A black eye If 1t became necessary to discon tinue the airmaIl for lack of pat ronagc. We rather think the patron age will rapidly increase after the summer is over.

WHEN COOLIDGE AND AL SMITH MET

When President and Mrs. Cool idge had as their guest Governor and Mrs. Al Smith it was social item that got the front pages in all the journals of the land. The Presi- dent and the Governor eating fish which the President himself had snared from their watery home, let no politics interfere with the joy ous occasion. What mattered it if the governor had presidential am- bitions and was considered the strongest potential candidate in his party. The social conventions, and not political conventions counted in the meeting, and the only poor fish considered were the real fish, not the voters.
 What if such a near political has-been as Senator Cummins had spilled some beans a day or two previously by declaring he knew for a fact the President would not run for reelection. That was a state ment which greatly irrltated the President and all his followers, and came from the defeated Iowa man with bad grace. Governor Smith, of course, heard or read of it, but did not mention it at the fish-laden table.
 There can be no question that the President and the Governor think well of each other. and more so now than ever before. If it should chance that they are to op- pose each other in a presidential race let us hope that, during the campaign they will not forget the amenities that were such a pleas ant incident of the historic (po- litically speaking) fish feast at Paul Smiths.

YOUNG DOTY AND HIS
SENTENCE

Doty, the adventure-seeking young American who belonged 10 the French foreign legion which was engaged in helping the French to civilize the rebellious Druse tribes in Syria, has heard the worst. He was convicted of assertion and has been sentenced to eight years of hard labor. This is better than being executed. but by the time he is through the young man probably will have had enough of adventure to satisfy him for the remainder of his life.
 Young Doty in the first place ex- ercised poor judgment in selecting the adventure he crayed. There is plenty of opportunity in the world for adventure besides enlisting un- der a foreign flag for war purposes. The American army and navy of- fers adventure without the risk and hardship of war; or If that is not exciting enough, there are the western plains and mountains, with adventure still lurking; there is the air service, government and pri- vate; expeditions are taken to far away lands; people even go fishing in search Of adventure.
 In the young days of New Eng land countless youths went to sea- in search of adventure, and the same method is still possible. The young fellow, now as formerly, who goes to sea usually gets his fill of adventure if he stays on the bill lowy waves long enough. But young Doty had to fight; and when he got tired of fighting he started 10 leave the ranks. One ad- mires his fighting spirit, and his spirit Of adventure generally, But his technic evidently was poor.
 But he escapes from the mess alive, anyway; and that is most i'm. portant.

THE AUTOMOBILE AND
 OUR BEACHES

Nutmeggers who like mental ex- ercise with their off days have been amusing themselves and instructing their fellow citizens by counting the automobiles parked at our fav- orite Sound resorts on Sundays, They have not been entirely suc- cessful, as the task is rather prodigious. But some of the volun- teer tally clerks counted 9,200 ma chimes at Hammonasset beach last Sunday and then quit counting from exhaustion. Large numbers have also been counted at savin Rock, Walnut Beach and the other popu- lar resorts along the shore.
 The conveniences incident to au- tomobile traffic to and from the beaches has greatly accelerated their popularity within recent years. Instead Of being primarily utilized by the citizens of the cities situated along the shore. who got to them in trolley cars or on trains, the beaches now are accessible to thousands living in other parts of the state. and even people from the central western part of Massachu- setts find it easy to drive to the water.
 On the Sunday in question there must have been no less than 50,- 900 persons at Hammonasset beach. By their presence they helped to support the park depart ment of Connecticut, wltich enjoys a substantial income from the revenue incident to operating Ham, monasset beach. The beach is well managed and Connecticut has req son to feel pride in possessing such a popular playground.
