BOSTON, December 11.-Govern.

Along the coast from Eastport, Me-,

This formidable fleet, including 13
cutters and destroyers and 38 patrol

In recent years half a dozen rum

About
Prices

BECAUSE the DeMoll line OF
- Pianos and Musical Instru-
ments embraces the greatest and
most famous names in the world
Of music, 1t does not mean that
DeMoll prices are higher.
The purchase of q Piano is
different from that Of almost
any other article. for in such a
purchase you are paying for a
great deal more than the mani
mate object. You are really
paying for entertainment, on
joyment. happiness; and unless
the instrument you purchase Is
an honest one. you really receive
disappointment instead OF these
things-and thus your purchase,
however low its price. will have
been an extremely high one in
the end. DeMoll prices, every
one, are based on fair and
honest VALUES. Quality con-
sfdered, there are no lower
prices to be found anywhere.

THE AIRPLANE BUsINEss

Of the making of airplancs there soon may be no end. With the gov ernment going in for more and more airplane defenses, the postal department handing out contracts for airmal services. and commcr- cial planes getting into increasing use every year. the manufacture Of airplanes may yet become one of the countrys most stable - and profitable - industries.
 Planes run into money The cheapest kind of air niyver, il ap- pears. costs in the neighborhood of &2u.0oo. But these are puny affairs compared with the type of air planes needed for the more riGor- ous needs of airplaning mankind. The niyyer planes at $20,o00 are mostly for private use --- air auto mobiles. so to speak - while the type which can carry freight or mail cost from twice as much up. The Colonial Air Transport Inc" which will soar with mail over New England beginning July 1, has suf- flcicnt planes to make q good be- ginning. but has announced il will speedily provide itself with more and better -- and more expensive - planes. The new ones are 10 have three motors and be fully capable Of meeting all emergencies; and their safety is to be greatly su- pcrior 10 the present type, so that the transportation of passengers in the near future is likely to be a regular part Of the business.
 The prospects of profit in the making of airplaues is indicated by the fact that the Ford interests arc in the business heart and soul Mir. Ford can see ahead sufficiently far 10 note the direction Of tho business wind: his activities in the airplane field would indicate that the future is 10 he bright and prosperous.

THE CASE OF WADsWORTH

Senator Wadsworth of New York, Republican. has done the coura- geous thing; he has announced him self unequivocally in favor of the repeal of the 18th amendment.
 Obviously. it will mean some po- litical difficulties. New York is not all Manhattan, the Bronx and Brooklyn. The up-staters are more set in their ways, and one hears considerable dry talk there, It will mean knock and down fight within the Republican state conven- ton as 10 whether if should sup port Wadsworth or nominate Franklin W. Christman. a prohibi- tionst. The influence of the Anti Salosn League in upstate Republi- can politics has been considerable, but it's hold this year will be tested as never before. If the convention follows Wadsworth in declaring against the 18th amendment and the VoIstead law it will mean the senator's nomination and in all probability his reelection. The New York World. Democratic or gan. is already sounding loud tocsin in hls behalf.

CITY ORDINANCES

The move made by Mayor Weld to this end, which includes the codification of the city charter. with the same purpose in view. is commendable.
 It has been four years since the ordinance book has been revised and indexed. Ordinances passed and amended since that time have been many, and no doubt much time has been wasted in thumbing the book in an effort 10 find what's what regarding any partcu- lar law.

IOWA'S SENATORIAL
 CANDIDATES ACTIVE
Brookhart, Republican. and Porter, Democrat, Begin Plans For
 Fall Campaign

Des Moines, Iowa, June LP)-- Iowa lifted the curtain today upon the setting for it's third senatorial campaign in five years and found the scene analogous to those of 1922 and 1924.
 Playing the republican lead for the third time was Colonel Smith W, Brookhart, while striving with him for Novembers curtain call Claude +. Porter. veteran democrat, hoped to benefit by the same re- publican defections from Brookhart which narrowed the coonel's vic torious margin in 1922 and resulted in his unseating by Dan r. Steck. democrat, as an outcome of the 1921 election.
 The democratic hope of defeating Brookhart despite Iowas normally large republican majority is based upon such support for Porter as the democratic candidate against Brook hart got from an organized group of republicans in 1922 and from the republican state committee itself through it's repudiation.
 Republican leaders have given no intimation of their attitude toward Brookhart in the coming campaign, but Senator A. B. Cummins has in- timated that he will not run inde- pcndently and Howard J. Clark, third in the republican primary, says BrOokhart can have his sup pOTt

WASHINGTON STREET

The move 10 establish six and oue-half foot building line on the street, between West Main street and Myrtle street. is entirely preliminary and does not mean that q widening is con- templated shortly following the hearings. But il does mean that the city will be prepared 10 act when the time seems propitious and the finances permit.
 If the Common Council grants permission 10 hold hearings upon this project they should result in wide popular interest. Washington street is an important downtown thorourhfarc, and the question ul- timately 10 be raised will be whether 10 make il still more i'm portant or let it be surpassed by other downtown streets. As traffic artery il could he Of vastly more benefit 10 the city if widened. If such a plan is in view, if it is to be part Of a civic policy that will not be changed with future administra- lions, the move 10 change the build ing line at this time rather than later will commend itself and should receive the most thorough consideration.
