BONUS CERTIFICATES

Newspapers of the country are publishing what the local bankers think of loaning money to war vet erans upon adjusted service certifi- cates as collateral. The point of view everywhere seems to be pretty much the same-that indiscriminate loan ing of money upon these certificates is out of the question.
 Some of the bankers go even further. Reverberations from De- troit, Chicago and Baltimore are particularly vehement. In the latter city one of the leading bankers said in language everyone could under stand that there would be nothing stirring regarding the certificates, and that the scheme was another government imposition
 It can readily be realized that the banks are faced with an unusual problem in connection with loaning money on the certificates. It is a service to individuals, is fraught with much detail, requires much clerical attention, and a lack of judicial carefulness in loaning money can lead to unwelcome diff faculties. We believe the service men for the most part can appreciate this point of view.
 The best plan is not to borrow money on the certificates, if this can be possibly avoided. In most cases it can. New Britain banks seem to have hit upon golden middle ground in handling the problem. The public which owns the deposits in the banks naturally expect the cus- todians of the funds to exercise ex- ceeding care in how they utilize the money. The bankers are merely the responsible custodians of public funds. They cannot permit sentiment and heart interest to influence their judgments. It is cold-blooded busi- ness propostion; necessarily so and in this category in the interest of public safety.
 If there is any fault to be found it clearly points to the system in- augurated by the administration. Criticisms should be directed toward Washington, not toward the banks.

The Observer is pleased to note that Mayor Weld is in agreement with his suggestion that an effort be made to provide sliding places off the city streets, thereby mini mixing the danger to youthful coasters.
 The mayor has written his com missioners on the park board and the public amusements commission asking their cooperation and it is expected that no time will be lost in making safe coasting places a reality. Several weeks ago atten- tion was called to the dangers of coasting on city streets and the Ob- server suggested as a possible rem edy a supervised slide at Walnut Hill park, the slope declining from | the wading pool to the south and west being mentioned. Mayor Weld gave study to the proposition and considers it feasible, he has an- nounced. The slide can be made sufficiently wide to allow hundreds of coasters to make use of it in safe ty. Supervision by a policeman will guard against abuses and it will be surprising if, once established, the city will ever sanction the use of highways which are also used by vehicular traffic, where unwary boys and girls are continually subjected to the possibility of death or per manent injury.
 The mayor has recognized the possibility of carrying a good idea farther and he has asked his com missioners to look into. the practi- cability of similar slides in other parks and on school properties SC all sections of the city may benefit.

Chicago, Feb. Il R = Mrs. Muriel Oakes Ames, who was mar ried to Robert Ames yesterday, and Miss Helene Lambert, who came to Chicago announcing that she had expected to become the actors bride, occupied apartments at the same Northside hotel today.

 Why, why-I'm dumbfounded.

MARTIAL LAW IS
 STILL IN FORCE
But Portuguese Revolt Is Be. lieYed Over

London, Feb. II P}-Lisbon Is un- der martial law, and the censorship which this Implies precludes accurate details of the casualties and the ex- tent of the damages caused by the latest Portuguese revolution. From all accounts this appears to have been completely suppressed.
 Nevertheless, 1t is known that be- fore the white flag was run up yes- terday morning by the insurrection- ists, many persons were killed. a large. number were wounded and there was much property damage. One report places the list of dead at about 300 with more than 1000 wounded.
 It was the arrival at Lisbon of President Carmona with troops from Oporto that decided matters against the revolutionaries, whose numbers are said not to have exceeded 5000, for the most part civilians, among tn m women and boys.
 Loyal troops, according to one &C., count, advanced from the north and then proceeded along the wide ave- nues of the city in such a way as to surround the rebels on three sides, leaving open the fourth side, facing the Tagus river, where the arsenal stands. Severai. dispatches agree that barricades in this part of the city were destroyed by the govern ment artillery. while airplanes bomb ed the arsenal with deadly effect. A terrific artillery concentration upon the arsenal after the avenues had been captured, seems to have been the final phase of the battleA During the firing the inhabitants of Lisbon sought shelter In cellars and the subterranean passages. Gov ernment ambulances were forbidden to take wounded revolutionists be- cause 1t was feared they would use the ambulances to make their es- cape.
 The revolution lasted just a week. It broke out In a garrison at. Oporto last Thursday, and although the movement was minimized by the governme at first. it was found necessary to Lombard the town of Oporto before the insurrectionists there surrendered. Meanwhile the movement had gained the support of certain elements in Lisbon. J

 Hunted in Indiana.

South Bend, Ind, Feb. 11.--UP) A search was made along the banks of the St. Joseph river today for additional parts of the body Of a woman, about 30 years old, whose torso was found in the river late yesterday.
 The head and neck had been sev- cred in expert fashion, authorities said, causing the belief that the woman had been murdered and the body dismembered by someone with some knowledge of surgery.
 The parts found were in such 2 cramped position that authorities be- lieved the woman may have been murdered and that her murderers attempted to stuff the body in box trunk.

RAISE BOUNTY ON GOsHAWKs

Hartford, Feb. Il R-The bounty on goshawks killed in Connecticut has been raised to S3 each, plus the cost of mailing to the state board of fisheries and game, according to an announcement made by Superin- tendent John w. Titbaum.
 Reports indicate that the gos- hawks are concentrating upon the decimated flock of ruffled grouse, and 90 per cent of those killed are found pursuing, killing or eating the grouse. The board reports finding that previous bounty has been in- sufficient to bring in the specimens killed, many of them being thrown away. Proof that the goshawks were killed within the state should accom- pany the bodies.

PARLIAMENT WITH
 CHAMBERLAIN PLAN
Rejects Amendment on Chinese
 Policy Urged by Labor

London. Feb. Il Entertainment IS apparently strongly behind the Chinese policy of Sir Austen Cham berlain. the foreign secretary. This was demonstrated last night when the house of commons by 320 votes to 113, rejected a labor amendment to the address from the throne, which was considered as clearly in tended to embarrass the government in the Chinese situation.
 Sir Austen in his outline of the governments policy, said that to hasten the negotiations for a settle ment with the Chinese a decision was reached to land only an Indian brigade at Shanghai, unless there were signs of immediate danger. This had a calming effect and weak ened the position of the govern ments opponents.
 The agreement reached between Eugene Chen, the Cantonese foreign minister. and Owen O'Malley, the British representative at Hankow, is generally accepted as satisfactory. This agreement provides that the concession is to be returned to the British municipal council, and sub- sequently will be formally turned over to a Chino-British municipal ity. the Chinese nationalists con- tracting to neither use nor coun- tenance force and to seek arrange m oar,tc 1,u ooUotiat{opc

REMINGTON NEWS

Agitation has been started in Maple Hill and Elm Hill for the services of a visiting nurse. During the annual drives conducted by the United Community corporation Of New Britain, Maple Hill and Elm Hill have been canvassed. Those residents who work in New Britain are asked to give there and can- vass of the homes is also made. Thus these people all help to sup port the Visiting Nurse association of New Britain and because of this fact, they feel that they are entitled to service from the association.
 On the other hand. the associa ton Is at present thinking over the situation seriously and it is possible that its service will be extended to include these two communities, 1t is said. Mrs. Ernest M. Smith of New Britain is making a study of the situation in an effort to bring about a satisfactory arrangement.
 Since Newington covers so much territory, definite boundaries would be established. Most of the people in the town who work in New Brit ain, live in either Maple Hill or Elm Hill and therefore, if an extension is made, it will in all probability, in clude only these sections of the town. It has been suggested that the boundaries of the Maple Hill fire district be used as the limits of the service.

Following the presentation or a petition by residents of Newington Junction and West Hartford for q bus service to Hartford, the Conn., ecticut company has asked the pub lie utilities commission for a fran chise to maintain bus service from the Junction through Elmwood and by the way of Capitol avenue and Gold street to Main street, Hart ford.
 A committee consisting Of James c. Gilbert, Fred Brown, Thomas Holt, M. s. Little and M. R. Koer- her has been working with a simi- lar committee in West Hartford and it is through their efforts that the petition to the public utilities com mission has been filed. It is under stood that an hourly bus schedule will be maintained throughout the day with the possible addition of extras at noon and night.
 Train service has not been the best and residents of the Junction have for a long time wanted a sub- stitute. Two years ago the school committee made an effort to have u Connecticut Co. maintain serv- ice for school children from the Junction to the Center but this was unsuccessful. The matter is now brought to light again and the pos- abilities for success of such an ar engagement are much greater.
