The sewer bed district is the logi cal place. The vicinity of these beds is considerably removed from hu- man habitation. except in the cases of a com mparatively few persons who live in that general direction in or der to be near 10 their places of em- ployment. Needless to say the sew CT bed district is not a residence dis trict in the real sense, and the addi. ton Of an incinerator there could do no damage. If situated near the town farm, however, it would do material damage to other property.
 The idea which has sprung from residents near the town farm, that the city property there might well be turned into public park in the not distant future, seems good enc from every standpoint. That such use of the land would have the opposite effect from that of all in- cinerator cannot be questioned. As the city grows there will be need for public parks in all residence sections, and so far the southeastern part has been overlooked. \ well-de- yeloped residence district in that section will bring tax money into the coffcrs of the city, while an in cinerator nill have the opposite effect.

NEW HANEN'S INCOME,

The New York, New Haven X Hartford railroad has discovered that by holding down the cost Of maintenance considerable money can be saved. For example, during the first nine months Of this year the decrease in outlay was sl.739.- S67 over 1926. Some years ago a critic of prominence said the rail- roads Of the country could save many millions annually if they knew how, and he was laughed at for his pains. Since that time, however, the savings have been made. The ques- ton now arises whether the rail- roads are not trying to overdo it, Had it not been for the reduction of maintenance the net income of the railroad would have been consid- erably reduced during the nine months of this year Thus we find that while the operating revenues decreased s1,1S3,S5S for the nine months, the net income during the same period increased $SGG. S6S. The operating income of the road, | however, was s221,G37 less than for the first nine months of 10o6 The New Haven, like other rail-
 roads, had a boom year in 1926: year, like all the others. it is faced with more of back to mormalcy' situation.

THE SHOW BUSINESS

In no business is it easier to lose money quickly than in the show business. Also, in scarcely any other business is it easier 10 make money faster. A successful theatrical man, one operating on a big scale has no reason to envy the oil well oper- ators of Oklahoma.
 Men made and lost money in the theater business long before & z. Poli was born. Others who come after him have the same opportun- fly.
 Every year in New Works the atriCal season a few hundred new shows are produced. Most of the the game. But not a single one of them can tell beforehand whether his new snow Is going to be an out standing success or a flop. Most Of them are the latter. If one were to strike an average it might be shown with figures that there is no money at all in the theatrical pro- duction business: but then. Anne Nichols made more than 5000, 900 out of her commercial venture "Abie's Irish Rose.'

ed at Geneva was as considerable a concession to peaceable practices as the nation need ever make. For the opportunity after the world war to keep the worlds biggest navy afloat had come: wc instead of England, had the edge on being supreme on the high seas. But we were willing 10 forego an armament lacc with England, and thus avoid incidental bad feeling. and agreed 10 parity. At Geneva Great Eritain's spokes- men wished this parity removed, so that the British navy could forge ahead once more. but to this plan we were adamant. The 5-5-3 ratio remains and it IS becoming more evident yearly that the ratio should rot ba permitted to change hy de fault 10 our disadvantage.
 Of the 10000. 900 people in the United States, 4l,5uo. poo are gain fully employed A large part Of the whole is dependent upon foreign trade for maintenance of national prosperity.
 Certain of our grca. industries lcly heavily on foreign markets The L. <. Commerce Year Book gives an Illuminating list, 10 which it is merely necessary 10 allude 10 prove the point. Tn the case of illuminat- , ing and lubricating oils" says tho year book, Approximately one-third l of domestic production is shipped to i foreign countries Exports continue : from , to 20 per cent of the total output of agricultural machinery, , from 20 to 30 per cent Of that Of 1 sewing machines, approximately | onc-half of that Of motorcycles, from 10 to 20 per cent of that of | cash registers from 90 to 90 per ! cent of that Of typewriters, and from l5 to 20 per cent Of that Of cigarets"
 Important as our exports are, the imports are even more reces- sary. These imports enter into the | making of locomotives and automo- biles telephones and lights. clothing, furniture, paints, drugs and an end less list of articles of everyday use and immediate concern to us all. The dependence of the motor indus try upon imports of rubber Is so well known that 1t needs scarcely to be mentioned 10 be appreciated. In addition, one-siXth Of the farm CTS must look to foreign markets for the ultimate sale of their pro- ducts.
 The large proportion Of our popu- runs into the millions. Not since the dawn of history has nation been able to maintain a large export trade without the corollary of ade- Quate naval protection. This would rot be essential if the world were populated by angels. but the first thing that happens when the dove
 of peace hibernatcs is the cutting
 off of trade privileges.
 The object of navy day is to re- mind the nation that the navy re- mains the first line Of defense. and that there is no defense other than the coast line without 1t. Public sentiment may be opposed to larg- CT navy than the nation would really need in any emergency; but if like
 wise is opposed to q navy inferior
 to the dignity and power of the
 worlds most prosperous and great
 est nation. We are on a parity with
 England. and the big idea in this
 thing is to realize that the word
 means just what 1t says. and is not synonymous with infcriorty.
