AIR CONTRACTS

Air contracts continue to be made by the post office department and the day is soon here when one can send a letter to almost any distant point with directness and dis patch. Closely following the an- nouncement that a contract had been let for air mail service be- tween Key West and Havana, comes the information that contract had been let for such a line between Albany and Cleveland. with stops at Schenectady, Syracuse, Rochester and Buffalo. This will follow the main line of the New York Central railroad, and one wonders why the terminus will be at Albany instead of New York. An extension Of the air line east of Albany could pro- duce an additional air mail service for New England: but that evident ly is not necessary at present, when the one existing line is not overload dwith mail. In time, however, 1t may be another story.
 Air mail lines entirely down the Atlantic coast still remain to be in- stituted. It is to be hoped that there will be air mail service all the way from Boston to Florida-to Havana. in fact-before the snow flies.

SOAKING THE UNWARY

Down in Berlin the police court has never been noted for unex- ampled leniepcy toward automobile drivers who are convicted of making sport of the law. Berlin Is no place for speeding; the possibilities are too great. It Is essential at such a point to throw the fear of the Lord into the hearts of the unwary. One New Britain man. for instance. was fined s100 and sent to Jail. They'll be doing worse than that when the Beach Swamp road Is completed.
 From cities throughout Connecti- cut comes information that the judges are stepping down upon reckless and drunken driving. It is getting common to read of "severe sentences'-some of them not se- we're enough considering the dangers that the innocent public is forced to face through the recklessness of a few. In Meriden a campaign got started last week and the judge announced 1t would go hard with all the convicted; Waterbury has staged q campaign against the reck- less element and 1t Is going fine; New Haven lad one and the results have been good, except on the Mil. ford Pike.
 It has been frequently said that "som ething will have to be done to discourage reckless driving" The way to do this something is to do it-and the police and judges have the power.

The car stopped but the crew could not find the body. It was discovered this morning.
 That the Hotel Russwin is rated of value by hotel men about the state is evidenced by the number of men who are trying to secure it. Mrs Wise is trying to close out the prop erty before the lease expores on No- vember and it looks as if she would be able to do if.

THE SOLAR PLEXJS

William A. Muldoon's name brings up memories of past boxing per formances which are emblazoned on the annals of the fistic sport In big letters. Hence, when he is quoted as being fled up' on "all this talk about Dempsey fouling sharkey'' We are inclined to feel the same way about 1t. Muldoon knows box ing; a lot of those who have been talking about the alleged foul could learn much from the veteran,
 Muldoon. trainer in the days of John L. Sullivan, time-keeper to James T, Corhett when he was over turned by Bob Fitzsimmons, and now senior member of the New York boxing commission, did the newer generation a service when he explained the exact nature of the solar plexus blow.
 Muldoon sa. near sharkcy in or der the better to be able to watch the body blows Dempsey inflicted. He was on the watch for fouls be- cause he realized Dempsey was go- ing to try for the solar plexus-a most difficult blow to give. but one getting results when it is given.
 sharley wasn't knocked out, as that technically requires being knocked unconscious Sharkcy was not unconscious-he was talking to the referee while on the floor. He simply suffered from the effects of the solar plexus blow-the same type of crash which laid low Hand some Jim Corbett back in the long past days.
 The description of this blow, given by Muldoon and printed in The Herald yesterday clearly ex- plains why Sharkey went vest as

 The discussion about fouls looks ludicrous. The facts are Dempsey landed where he wanted to land and Sharkey buckled just like Corbett did. But there was this difference between Sharkey and Corbett: The latter did not squawk foul-he was trying to do the same thing to Fitzsimmons.

through all right. The balance of our crop is excellent and the farmers generally speaking are prosperous up here except for the following:
 T. The one crop farmer.
 "2. The indifferent and lazy farmer on poor land. He will never be prosperous.
 "3. The farmer who has speculated in land and has been extravagant. He may go under.
 Farmers that have raised their living on the farm as much as possible and planned their work so that they had something to do the year round are making money and have been right along" That sounds quite convincing un til we glimpse the report made th' other day by the Department O The gist of this repor was that the average farm in thi country consists of 315 acres. anc the average investment Is s16,3OS And the average net return during 1926 was S1,133.

OIL FROM RUSSIA

Disagreement among officials Of the various Standard Oil units the other day regarding the advisability of buying crude oil from Russia threatens to lead to an "oil war" between American and British inter- ests. That may be nothing for the public to worry about but the oil in-
 terests and the governments who like to see them prosper don't like it at all. Something has got to be done; if an oil war starts 1t will be bad business for somebody and the oil trusts may be unable to stabilize" profits while it is under way. Like l every war, conflict in the oil busi- | ness costs somebody money. The
 only people who might profit are the Detached and Unconsolidated Society of Common Gasoline Users and they, take 1t from the oil octopi
 themselves. are not entitled to it.
 Sir Henri Deterding, the modern
 Oedipus in the British oil industry,
 is jolly we'll alarmed, and he attacks
 the New York Standard and the
 Vacuum Company on basis of hu-
 manity for the atrocity they have
 committed in having dealings with
 the disheveled Russians. Walter C.
 Teagle, president of the New Jersey Standard, which has had an agree ment with the Royal Dutch-Shell
 group not to get smeared with Rus
 sian oil, by this time Is half way across the Atlantic on a peace mis- sion.
 The incident shows the extent of
 the control exercised throughout the
 world by the oil interests. National fields are assigned, and competition is held to minimum. The worst that can happen If tho American and British oil interests do not
 agree is a letting down of the com- petitive bars.
 Recently the American and Brit ish interests met defeat in Spain
 when the Spanish government, which has decreed it's own oil | monopoly in order to raise money,
 decided to buy Russian oil, instead
 of getting it from the British or American interests. It was a cruel blow and was the start of vast con- | tention. The oil interests, if they
 had succeeded in making a deal
 with Spain, purposed supplying 1t
 with Russian oil, it is said; but Spain decided to buy direct.
 An element of humor is lent the situation by the announcement that
 new contracts have been made be- tween the Russians and the French and Italian naval ministries for the use of Russian oil by the ships of those two powers. Both states are strongly anti -communistYc, but that , has nothing in common with getting | oil where it can be obtained cheap ly. Perhaps 1t was the loss Of this business which also peeved Sir Henri somewhat. The Russians have doubled their exports of oil since pre-war times. and 1t Is this com 1 petition that hurts the Royal Dutch
 Shell group. One way of looking at
 it is that the more oil Russia ex-
 ports the less 1t will have to export | in the future, and the longer the
 British supply will last But the "conservationists" in the British oil l industry do not look at the situation
 in that light.

We have, 1t may be said, fifty per cent of our citizens who go to the polls to vote, How much of the voting Is auto matic? How many of them for sentimental or traditional req sons, vote partisan ticket in which they have no interest from the point of view of the good of the state, or vote auto matically without any knowl- edge whatever? How many of our citizens voting at even a presidential election know the important economic, financial and political factors involved in the election of candidates? When it comes down to the per centage of voters who cast their ballots with a definite idea and intention, we are afraid that the figures would be rather humiliating to us as a nation" All of which is quite true.
