RIOTING AT YALE

There may be truth in the axiom that youth must be served, but not with riots. The disgraceful incident at Yale during which police officers were pelted with eggs and rotten fruit, may have been a mere thoughtless prank incident to the natural eAuberance Of youth: but youth must learn early to restrain itself. Such scenes have been chronicled in the past, Of course. and year ago similar incident occurred in Cambridge. The effect upon the public is one of disgust: the advertising that the institutions of learning obtain as a result of such behavior is of the worst. Few Of the public, in censuring such activities, pause to reflect that only a small percentage of the undergraduates take part in such hoodlumism, that the majority act like gentlemen un- der all circumstances
 Word from Yale is that adequate punishment will be meted out, both by the university authorities and the police. No one will sympathize with the boys who are caught as partici- pants in such ignoble pranks. A cer- tain amount of tomfoolery may be permitted where young adventurous spirits foregather. but there is a point beyond which the playfulness becomes plain rowdyism and should be considered in no different light than rowdyism committed apart from intellectual pursuits. The fact that the boys involved are under graduates at Yale gives them no special privileges to act like fools; they should be models in deport- ment.

CAPE TOWN FACING
 SERIOUS TROUBLE Police Endorsements Are Called in

Cape Town, South Africa. June l IR-Police endorsements from all parts of the peninsula were called into Cape Town today to meet threatening situation which develop- ed from several ugly incidents oc- curing in connection with the un- furling of the new national flag. The flag was flown for the first time yes- terday along with the Union Jack in celebration of the eighteenth an- niversary of the establishment of the Union of South Africa.
 The demonstrations were believed to have originated from unrest among native black laborers and these laborers took a prominent part in the disorder.
 Automo obiles carrying small Union flags were partially wrecked. Those which carried the Union Jack were not disturbed. Police charged tho
 mob several times. and the crowd stoned the police.
 l A large number of natives and q
 dozen policemen were injured. Mines 1 ty persons were arrested.

THE NEW SCHOOL

Polish citizens of New Britain are fully justified in looking with pride at the latest manifestation of their progress in the city. the dedication of the new Sacred Heart junior high school on Orange street. The event was deemed of sufficient importance to attract the attendance of religious leaders throughout the state as well as state officials. In the lives of the Polish people of the city it marks an epoch of accomplishment
 The Herald is pleased to extend contradictions to the Sacred Heart parish in consummating this lm- portant advance in its educational facilities.

Wash them in warm soapy water and they will be in good condition to use. The first treatment may not remove all the coloring but if the bags are used and then treated in the same way the first few times they are laun- dered. the printing will gradually come out. More drastic methods may remove the color with one treatment but they are likely to weaken the fabric so the slower process Is desirable.

in time for the first delivery or re- mailing to points in Michigan where necessary. This service of course will also include a similar service to Toledo, where in fact one air mail line will connect with another to De- troit.
 The improved service has materialized as the result of sug- gestions emanatng from New Brit ain and vicinity. Considering the vast commercial importance of the lake cities and the necessity of good air mail service to them from New England, the new development will be cherished by the business and commercial communities and also by the general public.

CITY ACCOUNTS

The city is going to see to 1t that accounts of public departments arc kept properly and no one except those immediately affected are likely to take umbrage at the new method.
 The board of public works, the school department and the city clerks office are due to experience this change. There is no possible req son why the present system Of lale- sez faire should continue. We have already referred to the circum- stances relating to the school depart ment and shall not go into details connected with the board of public works and the city clerks office, which have been sufficiently aired following the meeting of the board of finance and taxation a few nights ago. There is no criticism from any source that city funds are not pro- perly safeguarded: the criticism centers wholely upon what is self evident, a poor system of accounting. In the case of the school department the criticism entails Jumping to- sether of money in the school con- struction fund without regard 10 any particular purpose.
 Everyone will be much happier after | more modern system of ac- counting ie installed in these de- partments.

ALTO MERGERS

It was said for years that the ulti- mate development in the automobile making field would be the forma- ton of a few big compa anies. With the emphasis on mass production those who cannot attain it are at a disadvantage compared with those who can, though there no doubt will always be room for some concerns providing a specially superior article not primarily intended for mass use.
 The vast development of General Motors. which resulted in keen com petition for the original mass pro- duction plant. that of Ford, is being followed by the Chrysler- Dodge combination, the third largest in the industry The so-called independent motor manufacturer are getting less and less as this mergeritis continues: one easily remembers not far back when most if not all of the consti- tuent clements of General Motors were independent concerns.
 But there are lively independents left and they are not being left be- hind in the rush for standardizati ton. Several of them issued statements recently that they had nothing to fear from the big boys, that they could equal them in style and price, particularly at time when the average motorist is more sophisti- cated than he used to be, demanding color style. good looks and all the latest improvements.
 | There has been considerable bus mess romance connected with the Dodge firm. The Dodge brothers originally were connected with the Ford orga nlzation. Leaving the parent organization they started their own factory and were success ful. Al the deaths Of the two brothers the plants passed 10 their widows who, considering themselves un- accustomed to the ways of business, offered the company for sale. II was then that Clarence Dillon made his sensation cash offer of s146,- 0"G GOO. The Chrysler- Dodge merger r'tains Dillon, Read <; Co.,, the fi- 1 nancers who took over the Dodge plant. with the Brady interests add cd. The combination is more .c,i- dencc, perhaps, that the great fi- rancial institutions of the country are tying themselves mp with the motor industry, General Motors be- ing dominated by the Morgan bank ing interests. Only the Ford organi. zatiou Of the top-liners remains a closed corporation.
 All of the concerns involved in tho mergers of recent years have their plants in the Middle West. We are reminded, on contemplating this de- yelOpm ent, that the automotivc in. dustry started in New England but didn't remain here

THE SUMMER WHITE HOUSE

After due cogitation President Coolidge has selected his summer White House, and the West again is chosen for the honor. New England will be somewhat surprised at the choice, having taken it for granted that the President would rotate be- tween West and East and that this year it would be the turn of this section Of the country. Wherever the President happens to spend the sum mer months, however, the nation will wish him happiness and plenty of good fishing. The latter advantage, indeed, is said to have been the de- ciding factor in causing him 10 select a summer home on the Brulc river, 33 miles from Superior, Wis, near the Canadian border. To mako the fishing paradise more complete the President will live on an island and in all proba bility can fish to his hearts content right at the front door.
 Last year the Presidents stay in the Black Hills vas near great agricultural empire and region famed for it's scenic splendors. This year he will experience q radical change, the summer camp being in a densely wooded region Of primcval wlldness, so far from the customary haunts Of man that deer roam un- disturbed through the great forests nearby It can be said, perhaps, that this year the President will he as far removed from the outposts of civilization as ever came 10 the lot Of an Ame rican president, in spite of the fact that the progressive and ambitious city of Superior is only d few hours motoring away-f not less, depending upsn the state oi tho gravel roads and the spirit Of tn, presidential chauffeur.

They stood in passionate embrace for cons. With dual noans of ecstasy they drew apart only to melt into each others arms again.
