OLD CLOTHES AND SHOES
 NEEDED

While Mayor Quigley is endeavor- ing to raise money for 8 fund to aid the poor this winter, organiza- tions throughout the city are pre- pairing to aid them in various ways. The Elks the other day adopted plan whereby clothes would be col lected for the poor and in this man. ner the Welfare Association would be aided. Church organizations have been making such efforts right along. Plenty of citizens have already handed clothes to church welfare organizations for distribution.
 There can not be too much of such endeavors. The need is con- siderable every winter, even in the most prosperous times. The need is increasingly great this year. Money goes a long way to alleviate suffer- ing, particularly in the purchaS" Of food and the procurement of shelter. But old clothes should not be thrown away, as with little fixing they can be made to serve the poor
 Let every citizen go through the closets and the garret and resolve to give surplus old clothing to the good cause being furthered by the various organizations. Many will be surpris- ed indeed at the extent of their powers to offer assistance.

AIR MAIL CONTRACTS

The other day Postmaster General Brown established a peculiar prece- dent in awarding an airmail con- tract. The low bid for the line be- tween New York and Los Angeles was rejected because the concern making the low bid had had no ex- periencc in night flying. The con- cern which got the contract, of course, was exactly the / concern which had it previously, because it was the only concern with such ex- perience. Incidentally the company receiving the contract bid 35 per cent higher than the low bidder. which will mean the Government pays out s3,000,000 more than was necessary during the life of the four-year contract.
 This is one idea of economy in the postal department.

lower rates existing i'll Hartford than in New Britain. With a long prepared statement bristling with technicalities and figures the gentle men showed that such a supposition was erroneous. a mirage. The com- mittee itself had no technical preparation. listened to the state- ments of the power gentlemen, and prepared to make a report to the Common Council.
 As was to have been expected, of- ficials of the Connecticut Light & Power Go. explained the local rates with satisfaction to the power off, cials. The councilmanic committee thus learned that, in the opinion of the company, the rates should be considered perfectly satisfactory.
 Nothing substantial will come from such conferences. If the city is in earnest in the attempt to ob- tain information regarding power rates let it hire an expert who is not affiliated with the power companies.
 The issue in the power con- troversy, which is nationwide, is whether domestic users should pay the rates charged and whether the companies have adequately shared reduced production costs with their customers.
 The privately owned companies all say the domestic rates are not too high and point to some reduc- tions during the past decade or SO. That suits some critics and doesn't suit others. Everyone will never be satisfied, of course; but electric men are not likely to say a word to in- dicate their side of the controversy 10 Ilot NOi tSI III SNCi utldll. " lleli cities are not prepared to meet them on their own ground nothing in particular is changed.
 Domestic rates are becoming in creasingly important in the power business as well as to consumers. There has been a widespread in- crease in the use of electrical appli- ances in the home. Five years ago nobody owned an electric refrigera- tor; today they are owned and oper- ated in thousands of homes. Citizens have a right to expect the lowest possible domestic rates not merely reduced" rates over a decade ago.
 Regardless of what happens in this city at this time, the question IS far from finally determined.

THE FRONT LINE OF
 CITIZENSHIP"

President Hoover uttered an apt phrase during his address at the 18th annual convention of the Amer ican Legion in Boston today when he closed his address with the declaration that the Legion stood 'in the front line of citizenship to cooperate and preserve the funda- mentals of our Republic"
 It was tribue of high order to the Legion and no doubt will be ire quently quoted.
 The President most effectively made the point that the Government, like an individual, has no unlimited capacity to expend money. The Ma ton, he declared, has not failed in it's duties toward disabled comrades. The Government has unuertaken to provide for 100000 veterans of the World War, the total outlays for
 
 such veterans nearing $500, ,00O d year, and to veterans of all wars reaching nearly $90O, 100000 a year, In other words, the billion, 2 year point Is not far distant. The Nation Is proud to assume this responsi- bility, as the President aptly said. But he also made the following comment:
 There is, however, deep re- sponsbility of citizenship in the ad- ministration of this trust of mutual hclpfulness which peculiarly lies up on your members, and that is that the demands upon the Government should not exceed the measure that justice requires and self help can provide If we shall overload the burden Of taxation we shall stagnatc our economic progress and we shall by the slackening of his progress place penalties upon every citizen"
 What the President means is quite plain. It Is that Uncle Sam. despite his tendency to be munificent and grateful, must at the same time watch what money is in his own purse and also what money is in the purses of citizens. This is the

END OF THE "R-1O1"


 Before Count zeppelin's men gain ed peace-time experience in the operation of the huge contrivances which bear his name-though as frequently nowadays called "diri- gibles"-he saw six of his giant ships despoiled of usefulness by the hand of fate, with heavy losses of life. - These tragedies happened before the World War-up to 1913. During the war others came down" for reasons having nothing in common with peacetime activities.
 Perhaps no human endeavor re- quires such skill and experience as the navigation of dirigible during a squall or storm. Unfortunately such experience frequently is gained only after tragic disasters such as ship, "R-101." over France.
 This vessel was the largest airship in the world. The British had "a right to be proud upon having built it: and after the notable cruise of her sister ship, the "R-100," to Canada and return recently, there was every justification for the ex- pectation that the ship could easily fly to India and return. Under or ,dinary circumstances this achieve ment would have materialized.
 But the test of operating an air ship is during unsavory weather Dispatches state that soon after the vessel left Darlington strong wind from the Channel sprang up; and the difficulties incident to naviga- tion during gale were the factors that brought on the disaster. It was a replica of the disaster which wrecked the American dirlglble Shenandoah in Ohio in 1925.
 More important than any other opinion is that of Dr. Hugo Ecke- ner, commander of the Graf Zeppe- lin. and the worlds acknowledged leader in lighter than air craft. Dr Eckener's views on the R-101 dis aster, culled from the New York Hines, were as follows:
 t. "The catastrophe would not have t.been so great if the English diri- -gible, like the Graf Zeppelin, had sbeen filled with non-inflammabl ..helium gas. without which no safe transatlantic airship sevrice will ever be possible.
 Even the strongest wind is un- able to endanger an airship if the latter is allowed to drift at a safe altitude. I cannot believe reports that the R-1O1 was forced to the ground by rain gusts. The English airships is of the same condition as Allc Sidl LtPpCllil W nun poS''t'''Sh a dynamic lifting capacity of } tons During all our trips we never had higher extra weight than six to seV. en tons caused by the rain. We emerged from a heavy thunder storm in the Rhone Valley without throwing off any ballast, and we proved the possibility of steering an airship through the heaviest rain gusts and that an airship is re- liable means of traffic
 Dr. Eckener's statement that he could not believe the R-101 was forced to the ground by rain gusts is confirmed by Emile Barroux, French farmer near Beauvais, who was an eyewitness to the disaster aM. Barroux says he saw the airship burst into flames while in the air and this Q considerable time before it fell to the ground.
 American aviation experts are reported to believe the explosion was due to hydrogen, and they can- not understand why ballast was not dumped if the ship was near the ground. There are many fine points for a commission of investigation to clear up.
