JENNINGS

Hughie Jennings is dead. Rarely has there been a professional play CT with a more colorful career.
 He was one of the "old-school" of baseball celebrities. and is the sec- ond member of the famous quartet from the Baltimore Orioles of the 9o's to leave the scene forever. The other who passed beyond was Willie Keeler; those of the quartet still alive are John J. McGraw and Will bert Robinson. manager Of the Brooklyn Dodgers.
 His fame was secure even before he became manager of the Detroit team, which he built up from a nondescript nonentity to pennant winners-with the kind aid of Ty Cobb, Sam Crawford and other helpers. Before his 14 years as man. ager he had been the most alert shortstop in the business. His later years were spent as assistant to McGraw in the handling of the New York Giants.
 Jennings added antics and eccen- tricities on the coaching lines to his bag of tricks and became quite . drawing card in the circuit. During his 40 years in baseball he had played with or managed eight pen nant-winning teams. In his spare time he studied law and became a member of the bar in Scranton. He died all too young, at the age of 5S. One perhaps expects an athlete to live longer; some of them do. but too often the candle is burned out at both ends

 Madison is served by private wa ter company. the Guilford- Chester Water company. To obtain increased rates customary action was taken an appeal to the Public Utilities Commission. And as usual, this worked.
 The P. U. c. allowed the company the full extent of the increase asked, resulting in general indignation throughout Madison. It was thought likely that the company would be granted | email increase. in view of the desire to put In new equipment, q chlorination plant, and larger pipes to fire hydrants. The select men say the full increase was "en- tirely unwarranted."
 Meanwhile New Britain, owning it's own water supply system, must also increase Its equipment and go to large expense in the near future. But 1t will be done on a different basis. The bonds will be issued and we will pay interest on the increased bonds and provide sinking fund. This money will have to come from taxpayers, but it will not be paid in the form of water rates, but from general taxation. In the long run, financially speaking. it will amount to the same thing.
 In Madison. and every other town where the private water companies flourish. increased equipment means increased rates, and in the end when the companies pay off their in- debtedness they will continue to own the works.
 The New Britain system Is su- perior.

CONTROL OF THE, SEAS


 No, there is no arms race between the United States ana Great Britain: President Coolidge himself has so stated.
 It may be like saying, "Yes, We Have No Bananas The administra- tion proposes to build 71 new war ships "as fast as possible" Maybe a little faster than the other fellow which is England-but it wouldn't be an arms race.
 Perhaps it would merely be friendly game at cards.
 The idea, of course, is to bring about parity between the United States and Great Britain-a right We possess under the Washington Arms treaty. We are to have as large & navy as England in practice as well as in theory.
 It wouldn't exactly be race, as neither nation would be allowed to outstrip the other without the oth- CTS consent. It would simply be one of those things, anything you care to call 1t.
 The British are alarmed; in spite of the fact they signed the Washing ton Arms treaty, they have been taking it for granted that Uncle Sam would not go the limit on the war ship allowance, and that the net re- suit would be something like 5-4-3 instead of 5-5-3. A ratio of 5-2-3 would suit them even better.
 The British admiralty is using such words as disaster" When one reads through their fulminations. however, one finds that their idea of disaster" is one in which Britain lacks control of the seas.
 ''The admiralty is not think
 ing of war between the Unit
 ed States and Great Britain"
 writes Frank H. Simonds in the
 Review of Reviews, in which he pictures the British attitude.
 But it is considering what might be the situation if, at moment when Britain were in-
 volved in another European war the United States should refuse to accept the British proclama- | ton of a blockade and under l take 10 convoy merchant ships { through such a blockade. ''The disaster from the Brit i ish naval standpoint is that we
 shall have 25 or 30 of the 10,-
 900 ton cruisers, the type best ! calculated to challenge the Brit ish blockade. If we build those ! boats, it makes little difference
 how many the British have,
 for that will not modify the
 situation
 That's exactly what wc s~i, months ago-that the British atti 'ude about navies is they HaNt the God given right 10 search ant seize ships on the high seas afte they have announced q blockad, against neutral shipping.
 What they now fear, with neu tr2,l--the United States-possess ssir: as large a navy as their own tina one neutral will moi stand for thi sort of thing and will be able to in sis' on the freedom Of the seas.
 There is such q thing as interua tjonal law, but when England enl barks on war she has notion ha she is the sole interpreter of it.
 If the British cprescntatives {, the last naval conference in GcnpV had not done so much 't'5' ''--'' had not tried to lay down the in ternational law for others, &
