AT TILT, WHITE HDl ST,

Chicago's fayorite son had very pleasant visit at the White House the other day. With Bill Thompson was the governor of Illinois, Len Small.
 The incident did not receive as much publicity as it deserved. Here was the President of these United States breaking bread with two Of the most astute politicians in the country, about whom much has been written that does not read like Sab bath day literature.
 Of course. MT. Coolidge could not very we'll refuse to see the mayor Of the second city nor the governor Of the second state; not only that, the invitation to call was made with alacrity
 Some politics may be involved; the same. fellows who vote for and Small as 8 matter of habit will most likely vote for the next Republican presidential candi- date
 When Lorimcr was thrown out Of the Senate his friends made the forecast that some day he or his cO horts would visit in the White House once again. This has happened.

SHOOTING

Much complaint having been made 10 the state authorities by autoists vending their way to and from New Haven on recent Saturdays that sun- dry thoughtless persons are inclined to celebrate too we'll the motor ve- hicle department has announced some tall and special snooplng for today.
 Last week there was some snoop- ing, which caused New York newspaper to grow ribald about Connecticut's police and detective activities in connection with the weekly big game. This week tho snooping business will be largely augmented, it is announced, and il will have 10 be q smart thinker able to get by the battery Of detectives "with powers to arrest' who will he Scattered through the thrones in and about the famed bowl.
 Nine out of every ten autoists who go to the game don't need a stimu- lant on route, before or after at least. that's our guess, and we might be wrong But there is a small fringe that in times past has made the going unpleasant for thousands who believe they are entitled 10 safety while on state roads.
 What the motor vehicle depart- ment wants everybody to uuIor- stand. as we got It. is that tho proper place 10 drink Is not near or at tho Yale bowl nor on the highways leading 10 or from the scene Of the gridiron encounter.

COST OF OUR ROADS

C. G, Nichols of the state high way department gave an illumin- ative address in Berlin tue other day and made 1t plain that.the pay asyougo policy regarding roads had about attained the maximum of it's possibilities in Connecticut.
 Being one Of the smaller states, Connecticut has been in a position to develop its highways to better ad- vantage on a pay-as-y -you-go plan than would have been the case were 1t as large as Maine, not to mention some others. In addition to being only approximately 5000 square miles contration of population that yields sufficient tax money to justify the plan mp to the present point. There has been some grumblng, it is true, that the pay-as-you- plan does not insure fast enough progress, that innumorable improvements must wait until the money is collect ed. Even some of the HartforN statesmen began talking about bond issues recently, but for some reason they changed their tune later.
 The state highway department, Nichols pointed out, obtains about Sl0,o0o, GOO year for road purposcs, most of the money coming through the motor vehicle department, The income has been steadily increasing the past ten years. but it is doubtful whether the increase in the future will be as swift as it has been unless the tax on gasoline is increased again-something that ia Iy no means impossible or unlikely.
 When the state highway depart ment was first organized the year. ly income was only $2,000. Today it could use s2o,oO0,Q0o a year and not feel afflucnt.

FREIGHT MILEAGE

The New Haven railroad announc- ri the other day with a fanfare of triumph that the average speed of it's freight transportation had been increased from 9 S-10 miles all hour to II 9-1o miles an hour. In the words of the classic average man, this must be going some"
 The increase of two miles in average run per mile has resulted only after prodigious effort to iu- crease the efficiency Of the road: New tracks, new equipment, new locomotives, new ideas.
 For example: There is the average length of freight trains. Some of them going through New Britain take an inconveniently long time to pass the Main street crossing, due to their length. Some Of them do not take so long, due 10 various reasons that the freight agents know all

THE CELEBRATIONS

Looking over the field in Connec- ticut one finds that every city k the state had it's own particular way of observing Armistice Day, despite the fact that it was the first time that the day was a legal holiday. The last Legislature went far enough in that direction to satisfy all patriotic feelings, but the cities differed greatly in their conception Of how to celebrate the new legal holiday.
 Most states now officially recog- nize the day as legal holiday. When all is said however, that isn't going very far, as there are several legal holidays that only banks seem to know about.
 The time is coming when the fed eral government will pronounce it a national holiday These things move slowly down in Washington; but national Armistice Day holiday will not take as long to cventuate as did Memorial day after the close of the Civil War.

AN ALLIANCE

The French treaty of alliance with -Slayia. which has just been signed, has given the chancellories of Europe something to think about. Mussoliui in Italy is especially inter- psted. The alliance is one of the old tashoned variety. one for defense; which means it Is an alliance of the first water, such as existed in pro- fusion before 1914.
 Mussolini has been cycling the Balkans with the careful scrutiny that bofits dictators. The French Jugo- SlaVian alliance came about in secret and caught everybody un- awares. Perhaps other alliances will fructify.
 One would have thought that the principle of alliances had been doft- nitely. shclved now that the League of nations is functioning so satisfac- toriIy.

about. The average length in 1923 was 34 cars; today it is 40 ears. As q matter of fact, some of the mon- ster locomotives on the branch line haul trains Of more than 60 cars.
 Shippers will be less inclined to complain if the present gait of prog ress is continued. It used to be said that it takes longer to ship freight on the New England roads than upon any other railroads in the country, and the famed Morrow re- port Of some years back severely censured the New Haven for its lack of efficiency in this respect.
 Perhaps the New Haven is catching up to some of the other railroads. It is no longer necessary. it seems. when speed is a, factor 10 send goods to New York by truck in order 10 get them loaded on another railroad quicker.

 The bureau is destined not 10 protect chorus girls from the pit falls and bright lights of the gay city but to save their lives and limbs from defective drop curtains and falty mechanical stage de- vices.
 The death Of a chorus girl killed at the Follics Bergerns when an un- protected live wire touched her bare leg and injuries suffered by three girls at the Palace when a drop curtain struck them violently, are responsible for tine innovation.

WHEN HISTORY IS BUNK

i One of the statements attributed to Henry Ford some years ago-one which landed as much publicity for him as most other statements credit ed 10 him, whether he really made them or whether his publicity man made them for him without his consent or rknowledge--vas that his tory is bunk.
 This was before Bill Thompson knew much about history.
 The Ford statement, of course, was indignantly denied by all pub fishers Of history books and partcu- larly by all historians, especially those in Columbia and Harvard uni- versailles, where much history writ ing is done when the exalted profess sors have nothing else on their hands.
 Recently Dr. Preston Bradley, 8 clergyman of considerable attain ments and fame, had a word to say about history, and we proceed to it forthwith:
 "The one business of a historian is to state facts. As soon as he colors or distorts facts he is no longer a historian"
 Of course, no historian will admit he ever colored or distorted facts; it is always the other fellow.
 And history is about the easiest thing on earth to distort; it has been done since the first history books were written. In other words, Henry Ford was at least partly right. The only way to get a proper perspective of past events is to read more than just a few histories What one writer may color or distort the other may not.
 That brings up the question, are we vitally interested, or are We more interested in the price of gasoline?

NEW ENGLAND KisIORI,STATIO<

Although denudcd land of itself
 does not necessarily cause floods,
 there can b. no question that less acreage accelerates them. i New England has nearly 5000, GOO acres of idle. unproductive land from which the timber has been taken an no reforestation attempted.
 The remaining forest lands are being denuded to the tune of more than Q billion board feet of lumber q year.
 Consequently when the freshet started in northern New England it's violence was much greater than would have been the case had there been adequate forest lands to con- trol and hold back the headwaters.
 Forests act like sponges. The water ultimately flows to the sea, but the trees hold back the billions of gallons so effectively that the flow is retarded. like nature intend ed.
 Without the trees the water rushes into the streams and the overflow is terrible punishment for mans lack of foresight In not planting a tree for every one cut down-as is done in some civilized nations, but not ours.
 We are ever so practical and eff cient-that is, in go-getting, in get ting the lumber and the money it commands. We are not so practical and efficient in other respects.
 Here is how the steady cutting down of New England forests af- fects New England.
 The amount of lumber being har- vested in New England today is but a small part of the total needed in | this tier of states. The time is rapid i ly approaching when there will be ! none at all left for local consump- tion.
 At present large supplies of lum- Der are shipped into New England from the Pacific coast, where the lumber industry has it's largest and last pickings. The same system is being followed there as took place in New England years ago-the 1 same system which denuded the valley from the upper reaches to the gulf, The violence of the recent Mississippi flood was ac- celerated as a result.
 The cost of Pacific coast lumber in New England is much higher than the native product. Cost of building has been increased as a re- suit, and this has been a factor in rents.
 Then, when there is a freshet of more violence than 1t should be, the lamage done is vastly greater, and he loss to the people and industry ,orrespondingly greater.
 Nobody gets excited over refor- station, however. We seem to pre- CT to make trouble for ourselves md then beWail the onslaught of nature.

 There she learned that the board had no objection to her getting mar ricd, but that in such an event she rouldsnot teach school in Hartford any more. The reason given Was that there are a large number of single school teachers needing positions and that 1T is unfair to let married school teachers, with husbands to support them, stand in their way.
 The situation. therefore, seems to be entirely economic. If there were fewer single school teachers minus opportunities perhaps married teachers would not be frowned down upon.
 School teaching seems to be one calling where an effort is made to hav" the jobs go around among those most needing them.
