A REAL ACE

The name of End Lieut.. w. H. Doolittle, air corps, is noted under army orders and assignments, as being transferred to March Field, Calf. Lieutenant Doolittle, a neph- CIV of Gus Borgen, local resident, is we'll known as one of Americas s aces.

HER GOODNES SAKE.

Peculiar as it may seem, after all the rejections by the Petersburg cage team to play a practice game with the Ponies, last night they took on the soldier team. No ad vance notice was given the public and as a consequence only those who happened to be about knew the team finally was in action. The high school boys would like to know what it is all about; and so would the local fans who con- sistently support the teams.

TRUCKS ON THE PIKE

Every once in a while the state police along the Boston Post Road become active in running down over loaded trucks, and as weighing scale is handy in Berlin that town is the headquarters of this division of he system of regulation.
 Why overloaded trucks should be as common as they happen to be is one of the mysteries of modern transportation. The law is fairly ex- plicit, but there seem to be a pleni- tude of firms and drivers of their trucks who consistently believe they can get by when the cops are not looking.
 There is reason to believe there will be no end of this species of law violation. as there is no end of some others. If the police remain observ- ant the system of overlooking trucks naturally will result in a prolific source Of revenue. Money secured from the unfortunate in that man. ner goes just as far as the same amount of tax money secured in any other manner.

TO TURN OR NOT TO TURN

We have it from no less an authority than the chief of police that turns to the right on the red lights will not be allowed at the new crop of stop and go signals just installed. some of which are work ing and others of which will be working within a few days.
 The situation seems to be getting less uniform every day. Especially disconcerting is the fact that in some cities there are no turns on the red allowed, while in others the regula- tions permit such turns.
 A movement has been started in the state to have uniform traffic arrangements in all the towns and cities, but nothing important seems to have come from the move. Mean while everyone is running the risk Of making a mistake and running afoul of the law. In view of the s t. uation the police might well be lenient about such minor violations, although a fatality due 10 a mis- conception about this point is just as fatal as a more direct violation may happen to be.

THE MAYOR AND BLACK ROCK

The mayor is 10 be commended for his determination to bring about an Improvement of the Black Rock bridge in the form of anew structure during his administration. The other day the news had it that the mayor had sent telegram to the New Haven railroad asking officials of the road to rush their plans for a new studied at the earliest opportunity Railroad officials who told the mayor previously that they were satisfied 10 go ahead with a new bridge, promptly complied with the mayors request about the plans. The city now has something definite to go on, and it is to be expected that the mayor will continue to busy him. self with seeing that City Hall takes due notice of the plans and finishes it's cogitations by taking satisfactory action.
 Temporary repairs just completed at the bridge do not change its shortcomings. It remains not wide , enough, It remains too high. caus- ing too much of an incline, and it continues to be only strong enough 10 withstand the impact of eight 1 tons. Incidentally. it's appearance has not been altercd-and appearance | counts for something even at a bridge.

NAVAL CURTALNIENT

Coincident with the promulgation of the Kellogg pact by President Hoover came word from London that Premier Macdonald had or dered much naval work to be halted, with a view toward curtailmcnt.
 Thus is eliminated in a most practical manner the so-callcd naval race with the United States.
 At the same moment President Hoover curtailed construction of three cruisers on this side.
 Actions speak as loud as words. The Macdonald government has made it plain that it will make no attempt to scare Washington into thinking the 5-5-$ program is in jeopardy. Naturally the Conserva- lives in England fear that the Wash ington ratio will not even be maintained. This, too, isn't worrying Mir. Macdonald.

SPEEDING ON THE MISSISSIPPI

In this age of speed it comes as shock 10 the younger generation that speed record on the Mississippi river has stood for 8 years. It was m 1870 that the Robert E. Lee steam ed from New Orleans 10 St. Louis in ! days, IS hours and If minutes. showing its heels to the swift Natchez in d race that has become historic in the annals of the Father Of Waters.
 Many a snappy river steamer has been built since that time, and many an attempt has been made to better the record Of the old Robert E. Lee. But despite the use of "fmproycd engines" and more scientific lines in the construction of river steamers the record held fast
 The Robert l., Lee, although not '''' 4''l ll '''aINf v t NtSSi | as un ocean liner Was great ship.

War. Briand had in mind a treaty between France and the United States only, but gladly acceded to the Kellogg suggestion that the treaty be made multlateral in scope.
 Yet the pact which has gone in force is the direct fruit of a chain of treaty making events that date from the inception of the League of Nations by Wilson. the Geneva con- ferences and other conferences, the successive disarmament conferences that failed to make headway, the LoCarno pacts, and the subsequent entry of Germany into the League, The ground had been well titled for a clmacteric all-embracing treaty, and the suggestion of Briand so quickened the imag agination of France and America and met with such favorable approval elsewhere that what followed was more speedily achieved than previous treaties The encouragement of President Coolidge was an important factor, and with right the cX-prcsident regards the treaty as the main achievement of his administration.
 The question naturally arises, had there been such treaty in existence in 1914, would there have been a world war? Or, changing the hypothesis. was a world war neces- sary to prove it's futility and prepare the ground for such a treaty?

THE OHIO RIVER CANAL

When President Hoover goes to Cincinnati in Oct ober 10 dedicate it's C1nalization the nation will be i'm pressed more thoroughly with the remarkable enhancement of this result of the construction of 49 locks between Pittsburgh and Cairo, III. i It was in 1879 that the government | decided to turn the Ohio river into a 1 year-round artery of commerce and the first lock was built below Pitts burgh. From then until now work has progressed upon the remaining IS locks, the last of which was con- pleted this year. Now the Ohio, in- stead of being navigable for boats of size only six months in the year, will be nuvigable the year around; instead Of there being only one foot of water at some places during cer- tain times of the year, the year round stage will be nine feet.
 Thus the Ohio river has been made into a canal of vast commer- cal possibilities. At its upper end is | the city with the greatest production 1 of freight tonnage in the country ! Pittsburgh; at the lower end 1t meets the Mississippi Thus the canalized Ohio will provide an artery from Pittsburgh 10 New Orleans 1 touching the great inland conner ciaI center of St. Louis en route; or if freight is destined upwards in stead of down the Mississippi river, there is transportation to Minncapo- lis, touching myriad of important shipping points in between,
 Such d vast improvement upon one of our greatest of inland water ways IS W pi llit q NlSl' l'N 'lA' | '''- dent of the United States.
