VACATIONS

Every liner heading toward
Europe is full of passengers. More
people are going abroad this year
than ever before.
The federal government reports
that more tourists are visiting the
national parks than ever before.
The automobile associations report
that more motor tourists are going
hither and thither. to places far and
near.
The vacation bureaus of the
scenic-laden states are optimistic:
business is booming.
The railroads report tourists are
travelling on the rail. too. Everybody
seems to be going somewhere.
Yet a Boston editor remarked
that to him there seemed to be just
as many people congestlng the
downtown streets as ever before
that If there are vacationists out OF
town il is not noticeable. The same is
true of other cities.
In New Britain the saying is COM
mon that "everybody' is at tbs
shore or some other rendezvous ovel
the weekend. But there are more
automobiles cluttering up Yves
Main street on Sunday than on any
other cay.

RAILROADS AND EXPRESS

Express packages are carried on
the railroads, which furnish the
transportation. The railroad eXecu-
tives have been thinking it over and
have concluded that as they furnish
the motive power they might as well
own the express business connected
with their lines. Which sounds logi-
cal.
The contract between the Amcri-
can Railway Express and the rail-
roads terminates next year The de-
cision has been made by the rail-
roads not to renew 1t and COM
mittee is arranging to take over
the business. All they need to do is
to buy the property of the express
companies, which consists largely OF
their various local Offices.
Thus an enterprise which was
founded in the country nearly 100
years ago will come to an end. In
18l1 men bearing the name OF
Fargo, Adams and Wells originated
the first public express services
much OF the business being done
with stage coach drivers. Later they
made contracts with the railroads,
and SO the business has continued
until the present day.
The express business has had
spirited competition since the parcel
post era began, but in certain kinds
of shipments the express business
still is superior. The railroads, when
they take over the business, doubt
less will seek to expand it and COM
pete even more readily with the
postal service. Such competition Will
not harm the public.

has been a dumping spot. Nature

has been a dumping spot. Nature
before our dawn began the trouble
by dumping rocks there-but that's
something We can't do anything
about, as far as We can see. Mans
habit OF dumping might more easily
be remedied. From evidence before
US, the theory long has been that
the Naugatuck river was the place
TO dump anything that was to be
gotten rid OF. This has applied to
street and household refuse. to fac
tory discharges, to rubbish from
stores and other business places and
especially-let everybody notice that
TO sewage.
So the answer to the question how
to improve the looks of the Nauga-
tuck river. the appearance or the
Naueatuck valley in general, is SIM
ple-stop dumping.
OF course, now that the question
has been thoroughly discussed,
dumping will cease-maybe; but
maybe not. The trouble with the
cities along the Naugatuck is they
are too economical to 60 to the ex-
pense of providing a better and less
obtrusive means for this dumping;
also too lazy.

Q. Where did the expression

A. 1t is derived from Bailey's
Festus. Hepworth Dixon says that
Bailey's Festus is not a bold. bad
man. like .Marlow's: nor q proud
defiant one. like Milton's: nor a
sneering sarcastic one. like Goethe's:
but the principle of evil personified.
The use of the term Lucifer for the
Devil is taken from the Bible
duke 1919 and the Book of
Revelation by the medieval inter-
probation of the verses. In the Old
Testament times the word Lucifer

to the morning star, which was wor-

Q. What are Magellanic clouds?
A. There are two Magellanic
clouds. consisting of two round
patches OF milky light near the
south pole OF the heavens, described
in 1916 by Andre Corcali, the navi-
gator, and named after Magellan.
The Greater Cloud is situated in the
constellation Dorado! the Lesser
Cloud lies in a black space between
Hydrus and Toucan.
Q. How can poplar trees be
killed?
A. Girdle one foot wide, remov-

roots. When the leaves are dead
cut the tree as close to the ground
as possible. The roots will not
sprout again.

When Moody became governor he

failure in some respects. The main
fruit of his regime in Texas has
been to create dissension between
leaders in the party and most of his
time has been occupied in arguing
with the various factions. At the

DUMPING IN THE NAlGAJlCk

Those with an eye for scenic
beauty occasionally take a trip down
the Naugatuck valley. One can go by
automobile, or by train on the
Waterbury branch line. Either way
one gets an eyeful-but not always
an eyeful of beauty undefiled.
1t is a species of defiled beauty
that one gets. The impression
speedily presents itself that the river
valley originally must have been a
bea utiful sight, but the hand of man
has done nothing to improve its
looks Indeed. there Is more rub

tuck than along any river in New

RAFTING ATOP THE PARK

The wadng pool on top OF Wal
nut Hill has progressed into bath
ing pool greatly to the satisfaction
of the youthful bathers who now
plunge into it CARRIED in bathing
suits. It used to be that the tots
could pull up their trousers or their
dresses and wade; but the water has
become deeper and now the bathing
suits are necessary. The Riddles like
it better, too, because they can
swim" in the water--with their
hands on the concrete bottom-and
as anyone knows, it is more satisfy
ing to be enveloped with water than
merely to wade In 1t.
The wading pool-it still retains
the name-is one OF the most popu-
lar spots in the city. Many the
grown-up who climbs to the top OF
the hill for no other purpose than
to watch the happy youngsters 1t is
a fine way for an oldster to feel
young once more.
The present sprinkler in the pond
serves a good purpose; but the new
sprinkler to come through the bene-
faction OF Charles +. Smith, will be
even more satisfying. 1t will syn
chronize with it's surroundings, we
are told, and we don't doubt it. The
monument nearby, and the two
handsome bath houses on each side
of the pond-not yet completed
call for an artistic fountain within
the pool. This the city will have.
When all the architectural flour
ishes are finished atop the hill 1t
certainly will be a thing Of beauty.
But nothing on top of 20 hill will
mean so much to the ron as the
SWIMMING pool. Ions ia. its cool
ing waters make glad the hearts OF
childhood.

FARMERS NOT OVERLOOKED

After the struggles of intellects in
both party conventions last month
over the agricultural planks In
the platforms one naturally need not
surmiee that all the trouble is over.
Hoover is in the far west and has
noted many a wheat and corn field
by now. Perhaps these have set him
to thinking. Some kind Of statement
must be made shortly about how
the grand old party is going to help
the soil-tillers, so the. candidate will
include full statement Of a farm
relief plan" in the next public pro-
nouncement to be made.
Smith is in the east. but read all
about the Hoover plan with studied
mien; at least his eyebrows flickered
and his ears moved upward about
about half an inch. Immediately
comes the announcement from the
smith campaign headquarters that
the Democratic candidate also will
have something important to say on
how to help the farmer. A dclega-
ton of western soil tcklers which
visited him just about that time got
the assurance that the statement
would not consist Of weasel words,
either.
IT is to be hoped the hard-work-
( ing farm folk will not be too busy,
/ when these statements are forth
coming, to read about them.

In closing this hot weather contri-

up to a certain point: but doing
without a hat will never become
popular with baldheaded citizens.
We trust Mr.. Nogel never gets that
