Haven and Hartford, for which everyone will give much thanks.
 IL is interesting to note, too, that the plan of doubling the Boston Post road between West Haven and wich is to continue, regardless of the experiences along Milford turn pike, the first stretch to be thus wid- sned. The double width roads no doubt are a vast improvement where traffic is extra heavy, but that they need better policing can scarcely be doubted.

THE WIFE WHO WRITES POETRY ADDRESSES
 HER HUSBANDl

By Mrs. Alvin R. Truxell Give me the warmth and the jingle Of love, Give me the light of your eyes; Give me the peace of the 1ireside When the furious blizzard flies; Give me the rumor Of the distant
 lands,
 or the bays where the pelican
 scars. Of the islands where laughter and
 love are light
 And the ocean kisses the shores. Give me the thrill of your gentle
 hand;
 Give me the strength of your arm And the tender flow of your sooth-
 ing voice
 To carry away my alarm. Give me the hint of adventuring: Of ships that bend toward the
 Isthmus- But naturally, dear, I'd prefe, something else
 More substantial for Christmas!

SOME LIKE 'EM DARK:

Dear Editor:
 I had been wed 10 my blonde hero exactly one month when l went. by his invitation, to attend a class he teaches at the university. One of the students seemed to be q little vague about the meaning of the words abstract" and con crete.'
 So my husband said. 'Ill illus trate the difference for you. Sup posing my wife promised to make me a cake. That would be abstract. Then supposing she went ahead and made it. The cake would be con- crete"
 The judge who gave me a divorce had dark hair.

NATIONAL CONVENTION ADVERTISING

A half dozen cities are said 10 be eager to entertain the next Republi- can national convention. The idea behind the effort is that much fine, good and free advertising is reflect able to entertain such a convention appropriately lets the world in on the secret that it is a place of much importance; in the first place, it possesses an auditorium large enough to accommodate the army of politicians; secondly, it figures in the headlines for weeks before, at the time of the melee, and in the records later; thirdly, the world is advised that here is a city with enough gumption, energy, pride and wealth 10 finance the big doings
 The Republican national commit tee is meeting and tomorrow comes to decision on which city is to get the advertising. Some Of those which have harbored conventions in the past are not numbered among the vintage of aspirants this year: on the other hand some of those which were bitten by the virus heretofore are again asking for more. If San Francisco were not so far distant for everyone except those living in California the Golden Gate city would have the inside track. Boston, it seems, has as good a chance for the convention as New Britain.

BETTING. PROHIBITION AND \ TURKISH GIRL

Miss Hadije Selma Ekrem is q Turkish girl who happens to be travelling and lecturing in the United States. She is the daughter of Turkish bsy and the granddaughter of Turkish pasha. If her parents, however, had denied 10 her their consent to visit America she would not have come; that's how obedient she is. She says other Turkish girls arc the same way.
 Turkey is regarded as a land Of polygamy and harems; but the for mer has been abolished. although still practiced in the rural districts by farmers who in this way obtain the service of free field laborers who otherwise would demand pay for working. As for harcms, the Turkish girl visitor says the whole orient has been doing openly what ill America is done secretly. Horrible thought. But that's what she said, right in Puritanically prim Boston, at the Old South Forum.
 Before reaching her remarks on American betting, let's sec what she says on prohibition. Nothing new, is her verdict. Mahomet established prohibition in Turkey in the seventh century, while we didn't get around to it until the twentieth. Now we are in the same fix Turkey has been in except, there probably is less drinking in Turkey than in the good old |. s. A.
 As to betting: Y have discovered that among American young people
 love is only another sport. They
 think it is the thing to do. l
 saw long lines of automobiles by
 the roadside in Washington and learned this was for betting
 parties I am shocked that
 young people of good families
 and education tolerate such de-
 grading practices
 Now 1t is about time to get irri- tated and peeved at the criticisms. and by a Turkish girl. the sort seen pictured on cigaret ads. The mis- sionaries and the Near East Relief i have been telling us how bad the Turks are and it is easier to believe what we like to believe. Some of us may be willing to believe, too, that prohibition, is bad enough 10 have come from Turkey; but as for pet ting, let the peters be the judge and jury.

BANANA is not satisfied with the
new treaty with the United States,
and the assembly down there has re-
jected 1t in its present form. Minis
ter Alfaro is trying to obtain re-
newaI of negotiations with the State
department. The most Objectionable
article in the treaty is that which re-
quires Panama to participate in any
war involving the United States. This
caused unfavorable comment in Eu-
rope, where it was alleged the terms
affected Panama's participation In the
League of Nations. Senior Alfaro was
instructed to seek Qualification of
the phraseology showing clearly that
Panama is not obliged to supply
troops to the United States, as IS
commonly understood from the text.
- LOGG, in an official communica-
ton to the senate, denied that the
State department had advised or in

four Of the more than forty American
corporations and individuals owning
oil properties in Mexico prior to 1917
had applied for confirmatory conces-

ALL PUBLIC LAND IN THE

land situate in Jackson's Hole was
withdrawn from homestead entry.
This new withdrawal embraces prac-

The Jackson Hole Courier charg-
es that this withdrawal was brought
about by one Mr.. Chorley of New
York representing a group inter
ested in some new program of elk
conservation. The plan has acted
like a bombshell upon plans drawn
and will now force the matter into
politics and thereby bring about un-
