decide the issue upon basis of economics-althoug that entered when it was stated that the subway and elevated lines are not to be unl- ned for rate-mahing purposes-but blamed the Interboroush lawyers for not proceeding along the proper legal lines, Proper steps in the state courts were not taken. The Inter- borough, it seems, was too eager 10 put something over.
 Out Of the maze Of legal conten- tlons that has been identified with this cause celebre one point stands out simple enough: The subways pay q huge return in profits, but the elevated lines do not. It is the ob- ject of the Interborough to have the profitable suhWays support the un- profitable elevated lines The supreme court has definitely denied this principle Of transportation economics. AS it happens 10 be one widely held. the decision is important in more ways than one.

LESS TRUANCY AN EDUCATIONAL TRIUMPH

There really was a time in the history of the young when playing truant from school was one of the most popular of amusements. Old timers will remember the days when they played hockey and perhaps Eil have vivid remembrances of what happened afterward. Nothing seems to have changed so definitely than the tendency among the young 10 play truant with less vigor. The cartoonists who once depended upon truancy jokes to help them out when ideas failed have been forced to eX- ercise care. There is SC little truancy nowadays that the truancy joke has lost much of it's point
 What has changed the outlook of the young toward school has been due to the more interesting methods of imparting the rudiments of an education. There is very little drudgery left in modern methods of teaching. The main thought has been to keep the subjects interesting. to add spice of play for the younger pupils. 10 put something of the na- ture of d game into the studies for the older pupils. They teach us while we play many . small chap has explained 10 interested parents. Johnny and Mary as a result have

25 Fears Ago To-day

The sixth ward democrats met in caucus at the Casino last night and named Patrick McGuire for alder man by vote Of 21o to 200 over Thomas C. Smith. James E. O'Brien Of Local 16S was nominated for councilman over Michael J. kenney, and John J. Higgins got the other place by exclamation. George NJ Landers vii oppose McGuire.
 The necessary time having elapsed the ballot box used in the Berlin election last fall was re- opened yesterday in the town clerk s office. Two unopened envelopes were found in which there were license votes, while it was discovered that five other license votes had been thrown out because they were en- closed with school consolidation ballots As the town went no license by only ten votes. these would have cut this 10 three. and the further discovery of g empty envelopes has led the license faction to specula- tions and regrets.

SINCLAIR GOES TO JAIL

The last loophole 10 make fool Of the law having been closed. Harry [. Sinclair, petroleum magnate, must spend ao days in a common Jail' Thus somebody finally is to be at least mildly punished for the dis tressing oil scandals.
 The L. s. Supreme Court. in rul- ing favorably to the government in Sinclairs case, docs not send him 10 Jail for participating in ,he oil scandals; he goes to jail for failing 10 answer questions propounded by a senatorial investigating committee
 In other words. Sinclair thought so much Of himself that he figured he did not need to bow to the in quisitiveness Of the American Sem ate That is where he made a mis- take. For this contempt of the Sen ate he goes where he will arise each
 
 morning at 30 and get only regular prison food.
 The 90 days will improve Sin clair's health. There is nothing so likely 10 put man in good physi- cal condition as going to bed carly at night, arising earl in the morning, being kept busy all day, and being fed on iust enough food to keep the machinery working. The experience ought 10 be worth many thousands of dollars 10 Sinclair. It should prove 10 him that scientific living. such as is enforced in prisons, is conducive to health and longevity. Not many men serving long sentences in prison die young. They get TO chance to overeat or dig their graves with their teeth.
 The courts have given the lie te ! the oft-repeated dicta that 'yoL cant put million dollars in iail. 1 Sometimes. perhaps not often. il really happens.

CASH AND CARRY
By Sylvan Ostrand


 Since it's inception, the Cash and Carry Idea has been making rapid progress. It has made a great hit with the politician. Almost every politician knows that the cash is at the Capitol. and he is perfectly will ing 10 carry it home.
 The churches should adopt the Cash and Carry idea. It is . crying need of the people, and would be the savious of religion. That is the great trouble with the world today. Many go to church. but very few Of them carry the religion home with them.
 Of course. lovers were among the first to adopt the new idea. If you have the cash you can carry me home, is the slogan of our dear little girls. The boys also are great he. Iievers in the help yourself idea.
 Finally we come to the automo- bile. The automobile saw the po- tential possibilities of the idea, but they adopted this one: Crash and Hurry. Crash and Bury was consid- cred, but was discarded as too dan- gerous. A cop might arrive.
 That is a short history of the Cash and Carry Idea. and if you don't like the way it is written. you have my permission to carry 1t to the waste basket!

DRIVER WHO HIT POLE
 FINED S15O IN COURT
Howard r. Sherman Pleads Guilty to Intoxication While Oper-
 ating Automobile.

Howard T. Sherman. s4 of 6t4 West Main street. pleaded guilty in police court today 10 the charge of driving an automobile while under the influence of liquor and was fined sl50 and costs by Judge Stanley J. Traceski. Prosecuting Attorney JIG. Woods noled charges of evading re- sponsihility and reckless driving, and told Judge Traceski that so far IS he knew, Sherman had never been arrested before. In his opinion, Sher- mans action in driving away after his automobile struck and knocked down a pole near the former en- trance 10 the Lyceum theater. did not constitute an evasion of respon- sibility under the statute, for the reason that he did not realize what he was doing.
 Sherman. who was arrested short- ly before o'clock yesterday morn- ing by Officer Joseph F. Kennedy after a chase through West Main street had nothing to say and was not represented by counsel.

 c. When did the great fires in London. England. and Baltimore, Md, occur?
 1 A. A great fire in London, start ! ed September 6. 1866. and burned four days. sweeping 436 acres, de- stroyins 13,200 houses, many public buildings and 90 churches, includ- ing St. Pauls cathedral.

As early as 1885 efforts were made in England to establish it dpon separate foot ing. but none of these seems to have borne fruit until after the great fire of London. in 1866. In 1867 the first office for the insur- ance of buildings against fire was opened in London by Nicholas Bar bon.

become eager to attend school, not going there with leaden feet nor as 10 a mill for hard work.
 To put play into what once baffled the mind of childhood has been a definite accomplishment of modern pedagogy. The result is shown in the figures of the truancy officer who re- ports a steadily decreasing total of truancy cases. These figures talk louder than words. They are even more convincing when the larger school population is considered.
 It may also be that the improved school buildings have been a factor. Children have a sense of pride about them and like to be enrolled in beautiful school building. The splendid modern school buildings which have becn erected in this city within recent years have no more staunch admirers than the pupils themselves and their parents.
 In addition to the new schools, others have been materially improv- ed Each summer sees such improve ments, Pupils at such buildings also share in the pride Of attendance.
