SPEED STIMULATION

Certain automobile manufacturers must be considerably to blame for the speed mania. One reads In the ads of these certain manufacturers that their cars can make so miles an hour on the average road. And here we have just finished reading an ad that one car went 959.5 miles in 1,164 minutes over the highways of California.
 In other words, the public is told that with one of these cars more than railroad speed can be main- tained over the public highways. One wonders how even the manu- lecturers car in which the trial speed test was taken happened to get through without the driver being pinched.
 Such manufacturers are inviting the public to do an illegal thing. Nowhere is such speed on the pub lie highways allowed. What the pub lie needs is slower cars, not faster ones.

FLOOD RELIEF AND CONGRESS

There is now talk of having the President call Congress into session a month or so earlier than was an- ticipated in order to do something about Mississippi flood legislation. The President is said to be favorably disposed. and he now has the flood report of Secretary Hoover to ru- minate about.
 Yet this does not prevent Con- gressman Tilson of Connecticut from saying that flood legislation is of secondary importance. Tilson places tax reduction first. The Connecticut congressman, eager to keep on the good side of his friends no doubt, is always thinking in terms of money.
 Flood legislation Is more import ant, MT. Tilson.

MAKING A ROAD SAFE

Down in New Haven they are call ing the Boston Post road the death pike" This may not be enough to make the road unpopular with reckless speeders, but other means may attain a semblance of the de- sired end.
 Officials and citizens of the towns of Milford and Orange have put their heads together in an effort to decrease the carnage. The most important step so far has been one to patrol the turnpike more rigor- ously and to enforce the law to the letter regarding taillights and the lighting of automobiles and trucks generally. The first result was sum- mons for numerous motorists" by the constables.
 If it will take an army of con- stables and state police to make the Boston Post road safe for travelling the efforts will be worth it. It has come to the point where 1t is the duty of duly constituted authorities to save people from their own folly.

COMMERCE AND AVIATION

Hartford Is mixing a little business with its airplane promotion activi- ties. If airplanes become common in the skies during the years to come the necessity for insurance will in- crease in proportion. So far this pos sibility for insurance against acci- dent merely contemplates covering the planes; nothing as yet is being said about insuring houses and smoke stacks against being hit by them, but that may come.
 "The insurance premiums for planes may amount to more than the insurance premiums on autos in the coming years" one optimistic speak CT in the capital city had 1t the other day.
 The wish Is father to the thought. And business is business.

YOUR DIAMONDS AND OURS

Those of us who have invested heavily in diamonds, with the ex- pectation that they would continue to be scarce and go up steadily in price, are likely to be disappointed
 It requires no mathematicians to determine that if diamonds get to be as common as coal they will not be worth much more. They are not yet as cheap as coal but are on their way, if the walls emanating from South Africa are reliable.
 The De Beers diamond trust in South Africa until a few years ago produced S5 per cent of the world S output of precious stones. Produc- ton was we'll stabilized; care was taken not to produce enough to hurt the prices or the trusts in come. Now the trust only produces 20 Der cent Of the worlds output, the remaining being produced by wildcatters, fellows who have no conception of business at all. They are producing an enormous surplus, until if they keep 1t up long enough, they will have produced as huge a surplus as there is of pc troleum, said surplus having been produced in precisely the same man. her.
 Discovery of new diamond fields in South Africa is blamed. The dia- mond interests, distracted at the prospect, tried to induce the South African parliament to pass "pre- cious stone bill," which would have prohibited prospecting on private lands and the subdivisions of farms. The bill naturally aroused a storm of disapprova, from property hold CTS who felt they had right to at-

one's most formidable enemy.


 Dempsey had taken the hardest blow Sharkey could give him in one of the previous rounds and it did not do more than rock the old brig from stem to stern. What would happen if Dempsey happened to land his worst?
 Those who followed the fight, if they were collected enough to think rationally, must have sensed the possibilities strongly at that time. And at such a moment Dempsey landed pile driving thrust to the jaw. The lights went out for Shar- key, of course. Later the loser, as usual, claimed a foul-the custom sry alibi.
 Of cultural, esthetic delight there is none connected with ring battle. But somehow people go frantic about one of caliber and class. Months of reading about the prelim- inaries, and then a grand settlement all in a comparatively short time. Then days of discussion and prepar- ation for the next.
 A ring battle is the most severe test of physical endurance that can come to man. To be able to punch and be punched until one or the other of the contestants drops to the floor for 8 Hateful count of ten elicits the attention of men in all walks of life. Even soft-fingered artists, craftsmen in the finer callings, lead CTS in business and the professions gladly pay ducats to sit and sweat at the ringside.
 Brutal, perhaps: picturesque also. Two battlers ply their trade for money that generous public is willing to pay. Call 1t big business or petty commercialism; call 1t any, thing, in fact. But prizefight still remains prizefight and newspapers are never in such demand as on the following day.

DEMPSEY'S COMEBACK

Youth must be served, they say But there are times when even the strength. agility and endurance of youth is vanquished before some older man of iron.
 Such a comeback has thrilled the nation-and large slice of the civi- lized world. Jack Dempsey, since his defeat by Gene Tunney considered a superannuated ring personality, has come back
 There can be no question that Dempsey gained enormously in popularity since his decision to try again for stellar fistic honors He has been a sort of under dog since the Tunney affair; and Tunney's highbrow ways somehow have not been startlingly ingratiating. Demp- sey's favor came because he was ambitious to show the world he still could fight surprisingly well and the public seemed to like his spirit. Yet he was no favorte in the betting it seemed contrary to nature to wager against youth.
 Jack Sharkey's brilliant victories over other aspirants led even Tun- ney to think he would overwhelm the old man of 32. Tunney has had no reason to know Dempsey very well, as everybody with the most ordinary powers of observation has come to believe. If the Dempsey Tunney affair in Philadelphia was not a fraud 1t was at least a lame imitation of the genuine article. The impression has been abroad that Tunney did not defeat the real Dempsey, who for lack of condition at that time was but a shell of his real self. Sports and others, when they think it over do not like to see championships won that way.
 Dempsey may be older, but through careful living and thorough training has regained most of the power that once was his. With that goes a certain tip-top aggressiveness that is his characteristic ring atti- tude. This tempo, displayed in the Yankee Stadium last night from the moment the gong sounded, proved clearly that he was on the road to MandalaY. Sharkey's studied. cat like caution was scarcely foil. Per haps the older man was tiring faster than the younger-or perhaps he only appeared to be doing so. Opin- ions may differ on such points But when the seventh round arrived 1t was evident that young sharkey was feeling the pace.
 It is under such circumstances that the stage is set for knock -outs, Dempsey, bit more experienced must have mixed a bit of thinking with his blows. If the fight continued much longer the endurance of the younger man might be the older

Among those who went were Mayor Bassett, D. McMillan, Andrew Turn bull, Attorney B. F. Gaffney. W. F. Atwood, Capt. J. R. Andrews, Sam uel Knight, Chief w.. J. Rawlings c. L.

Some trouble was experi- enced at Yalesville because one member wanted to look for Yale college and had to be shut up in the baggage car. There were no speeches at Wallingford, for Orator McMillan was playing pinochle. A delegation had come down to see Alderman Curtis but was disappoint- ed when told the alderman and the mayor could not be on the same ex- cursion. Seven robbers held up the train at North Haven but were cap tured and came in very handy as baggage carriers. The rumor that drinks could not be bought at Bran ford was proved false. Senator Muzzy beat Mayor Bassett in a foot race, but Jim Halloran and Tommy O'Connor won the ball game for New Britain.
 Both Jeffries and Fitzsimmons are said to be in physically perfect con- dition for their bout tomorrow night in San Francisco. The odds are 10-4 on Jeffries.
 Three new cases of varioloid smallpox have been found on Grove street by pr. T. E. Reeks. Alder man Curtis said he hoped that the discovery of the cases today, in the light of the isolation hospital pro- posal at the town meeting tonight. would not be considered pre-arrang- ed.

BLEACHERS FOR THE PARK

It begins to look as if Willow Brook park will obtain a sufficiency of bleacher seats to accommodate 10000 persons-whch is a need for at least once a year.
 Of these, S,20O additional seats are to be purchased on a note secur- ed by 100 guarantors. How popular the move has been is indicated from the number Of guarantors.
 And arrangements are likely for 1,s00 additional seats.
 Thus the city's sporting prestige will be maintained.

tempt to locate diahonds in the back yards or under boulders. That the bill attempted to confiscate private rights was undoubted; its failure was certain.
 The South African diamond situa- ton is fraught with worldwide in- terest. and will be 50 long as dia- mond rings are freely given as en- gagement presents. The story of the finding of vast new stores of the precious stones surpasses fiction.
 In a work of fiction published in Chambers Journal years ago the author caused his hero to find dia- monds along the lower Orange river in Africa. the stones having been washed down from the Wall river.
 The late F. c. Cornell, a British explorer. read the tale and took 1t seriously. He visited the scene but could not find the diamonds.
 Recently two German explorers, Dr. Hans Merensky and Dr. Reun- ing, continued the search, finding the greatest diamond depository in history. The first parcel of diamonds from the field to reach Cape Town was appraised at $750,000.
 It Was bad news for the De Beers combine. Ultimately 1t resulted in closing down of the Kimberly, De Beers and other famous South African diamond mines.
 Diamond excitement in South Africa has percolated everywhere. Last March 27,O00 were allowed to chase to the newly found Grasfon- tein diamond find, on the first come first served principle.
 The syndicate formed by the dia- mond trust to acquire one of the new fields succeeded. The syndicate decided "it would be more profitable not to exploit 1t" But there are other fields, and almost every im- aginative South African expects to find diamonds growing in the hin terlands. Defeat of the anti-pros- pecting bill means that everyone will continue to look for them un- hindered by law.
