hat the through trainseo Montreal

that the through trainseo Montreal which travel over the New Haven in southern New England, go over it's tracks.
 This sterling Vermont carrier now becomes a subsidiary of the canadian National, which has been the chief creditor and the chief owner of its shares. This New England railroad, although retaining it's identity and it's name, nevertheless is to be part of a railroad which extends from coast to coast. Had it not been for the fact that the Canadian railroad already was the majority holder of it's shares it is probable that an American railroad, possibly the New Haven or the Boston & Maine, would have been a bidder. Under the cir cumstances no. American railroad could have obtained majority inter- est and as a result the Vermont line goes to Canadian ownership.
 All the same, it will be well man. aged, and be of as great value 10 Vermont and New England generally as if it were owned lock, stock and barrel by one of the native systems.

HEAT AND DROUGHT

Although the hot spell hereabouts was temporarily broken, there is no telling what may happen before this sees print. A few hours make a world of difference when the weather seems bent upon being what it has been for the most of the sum- mer. But 1t isn't the heat that wor- ries weather observers 90 much as the drought. The lack of rain seems to be so widespread that in numer- ous states springs and ponds are drying up, lakes and reservoirs are at low ebb, and forest fires are raging.
 AS conditions are about the same throughout the entire country and Canada, it appears that the best part of the North American continent is being subject to a grueling season that can be blamed upon nothing else but sun spots.
 The farmers. especially those in the West are being helped marvel ously, Although the worlds wheat crop will be less than in any year since 1924. the soaring price gives assurance of financial prosperity. Tc the rest Of us it will be an expensive drought.

THE NEW BRIAND CABINET

.' With such an astute mind as NJ. Briand at the premiership helm of the French government the future continues a rose hue. He it is whose name and effects are linked with the newly operative Briand- Kellogg pact; he it was who helped engineer the Locarno pact; he it is who has had a leading part in world CO., dating from the Washington confer ence
 Resignation of Poincare had been expected for weeks. It was known he would prefer to lay down the responsibilities of the premiership after he had labored in behalf of the Mellon Berenser debt pact. Two im- portant considerations actuated his wishes: His health. which necessi- tates the taking of rest from public duties, and the fact that the next big issue, if such it can be termed, is the evacuation of the Rhineland. In the past NJ, Poincare has opposed such step prior to the time stipu- lated in the Versailles treaty, but with the various pacts in force and in the face of an unsympathetic at titude in England, it becomes in- creasingly manifest that the Cham Der of Deputies has swerved from the earlier demands. It is clear. therefore, that M. Briand will be the premier when the Rhineland is final ly evacuated.
 It is remarkable coincidence that such three great nations as France, Great Britain and the United States are have as their heads of foreign relations such men of similar tastes, namely Briand Macdonald and Hoover-the Amer ican President really being at the head of all affairs pertaining to his government.

SELLING THE VERMONT

There is something dramatic about the sale of an entire railroad. To the average individual railroad tracks the right Of way, rolling stock and locomotives represent much capital; indeed, the 533 miles of the Central Vermont is valued by the Interstate Commerce Commission at s23.UOU,- 900. Here is a small" railroad yet it's value is officially given as far greater than mast manufacturing es- tablishments of large caliber.

Kiiauea Oscrycr Claims Scientists Are. Ncsiect,hx Interesting Phase of Volcanolosy

Honolulu, July 30. F-Dr. T. A. Jagaar, world famous volcanologi', at the Kilauea observatory on the island of Hawaii, believes that an active volcano is a rare and alu- able possession. .H .a
 In report to the Hawaiian Vol cano Research association, he es- rlains it's value and tells what ol- canologists look for.
 An active volcano when it is quiet" he says, lis just as record. able, just as strategically impor- tant for it's tremors, tilts. tenpera- lures and chemical emanations as when 1t is erupting It is like train steaming through mountai3' tunnels, seen from an airplane. Sometimes it shows, sometimes not. But the train is not dead because it does not show. Yet many men
 of science still think 9 volcano is of no interest unless it s erupting. Change of position or appear ance at different times is of first 1 importance in astronomy. But

career in New Britain. The refer- ence, of course, is to Charles Sumner Ward, who died at the age of II. Back in 1884 to 1890 he was secre- tary of the New Britain Y. NJ. c. A. | of which he was the founder Later he became the head of the greatest money-raising institution the world has ever known.
 Common belief is that the drive" business began only with the World War. As a matter of fact, MT. Ward was a thorough-going campaign manager long before the war, but the opportunities were less than after the war started. After the war had shown how easy it was for the peo- pie to be emotionalized into a com- mon purpose, the Ward system went into full flower. The raising of s100.- O00.000 for the Red Cross in 1917 pointed the way to large things and .for institutions that had nothing in common with the late unpleasant ness. Before MT. Ward was near 70 his firm had participated in the raising of more than $500,000,0O0 since the close of the conflict This half billion was raised during peace times; and it was only possible because the former New Britain secretary had solved the mystery of mass production in campaigning for funds.
 The secret of success lay in or ganization and the pledge system. It was a species of application of the installment system Of making pay ments. Its only weakness was that occasionally the pledge makers be- came delinquent in making their pledges good as the years passed. Some of the campaigns allowed pay ments over a period of years. Some times, toward the end of the third or fourth years, the enthusiasm that had been an incident of the first year grew dim, and then there usually was trouble. But the Ward system on the whole worked until the public in some cities seemed 10 come 10 the conclusion it had had enough of drives.
 The drive system was essentially one of promotion. The Ward con- cern would furnish the organization, the brains, the experience and the enthusiasm if someone else furnish ed the cause. Something like the promoter who would furnish the ocean ie someone else furnished the ship. The avalanche of drives that swept the country during the years immediately following the war show- ed clearly that there were a multi tude of "causes' for the drive pro- motors to exercise their skill upon. Although in the passing years it be- came increasingly difficult to arouse the early enthusiasm that was coupled with the business, there was always some cause somewhere need ing aid and organized effort. Thus the campaign-for- money industry be- 1 came firmly established, and the
 name of Ward goes down in com-
 mermercial history as the daddy Of them all.
 When Mr. Ward was the Y, M. C. A. secretary in his cubby hole of | an office here he doubtless speculat- ed on ways to make large income ! possible--like hundreds of others in the organization undoubtedly were | doing at the same time When he 1 left the city he perhaps had some
 ideas under his hat, which in due
 time sprouted into millions of dol | lars.

CALL IT CONCEPT IF YOU WILL!
 Says Paul Glore

odSS I dul SiOlS To all you critics who come to chill And to smirch the work of the blessed few, Who feed on the fancy they try to kill,
 I snap my fingers the sapless crew!
 What do I care if they bark and new? This in the teeth of the mouths that whine:
 What have you wrought you can say this to: : By love, I made it, and it is mine.' Never a book that was writ so i'll. Never a picture so false of hue, Never a song with so little thrill. That it had not something I'm glad was true! What if l fail? I can still pursue Joy of Creation, the gift divine! And he who creates has at least this view: By love, l made it. and it is mine."
