What Q grand work is being done at the Nawington Home for Crippled Children. And how appropriate It was. when the new building was dedicated, that Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York, himself having been a cripple, should give the address of dedication.
 Governor Roosevelt Is great governor. man who is spoken of as a candidate for the presidency of the United States. But to every crippled child old enough to contemplate the potentialities of life, he is a far greater man than to others. For to these the New York governor is the embodiment of that spirit and deter imitation they themselves must cul- tivate in their affliction; and the

First Personal PrOnoun
 Lover Put in His Place

A newcomer in local professional ranks has been devoting considera- ble of his time to telling of his ex- ploits elsewhere-his prowess in various lines of activity, but par ticularly in sports.
 During the week he attended a baseball game and sat on the bleach CTS discussing topics of the day. When the conservation turned to thrilling moments in baseball he waited for his opportunity to speak, and when it came he sat back, cross ed his arms, and began:
 II remember the time when I was manageH of semi-professional baseball team and we were playing against a strong team with just enough players to fill out the lineup. One of our men was disabled and donned a uniform in his stead.
 Things were going along evenly against the strong opposition of a. big league pitcher the other team had secured from the smaller club to which he had been farmed out.
 'Flnally, the last inning came with the opposing team leading us 3 to 1. With two men on bases, and two outs, I came to bat. A hit would score two men and tie the game or a home run would win for us. The pitcher threw five balls, two strikes and three balls '|''."
 Then just as the speaker had built his story up to real Dick Merriwell climax, one of his professional brethren blurted out: Wasn't that q funny sight on Main street today when that follow couldn't start his car," And the opportunity for a hearty laugh took precedence over the story Of that last pitched ball, not yet told.

COOPERATING WITH EUROPE

Foreign entanglements' has a sinister sound. It is one reason why the United States is not officially identified with the League Of Na- tions
 We intend to remain "aloof," ac cording to the one hundred percent CT.
 Yet We don't remain as aloof from foreigners as We sometimes pretend.
 Since 1924 official delegations from the United States have partici- pated in the following conferences.
 International conference on traffic in arms.
 Third conference on transit and communication.
 Three conferences on abolition Of import and export prohibitions and restrictions,
 Conference Of exports on double taxation and fiscal evasion.
 Conference on economic statistics
 Conference on the counterfeiting Of currency.
 Hague conference on the codifica- ton of international law.
 International economic confer cnce.
 Conference on the treatment Of foreigners technical expert only).
 Conference for the unification Of legislation on bills Of exchange (also merely with an expert" in an ad- visory capacity).
 Some or the foregoing "confer- ences" made no great mark in the world and quite 8 percentage Of them received no large publicity, That is no criterion Of their value. however. Out Of many have come sound international ideas that no nation can turn down permanently.
 AS for the League of Nations, the only conference under it's aegis that the United States declined to con- sider, even in consultative capa- city. was the tariff conference which met in Geneva in February, 1880.
 The reason for this vas that the United States vas adopting a new tariff and to send representatives to Geneva at q tariff conference seem cd a bit foolish. But the State De- partment at the time went so far as to declare that it viewed with appro- bation any endeavor to facilitate world wide econimic relations and relations and to remove discrimina- tory economic measures. ." but at this time it could not "usetuily participate in the conference
 The American government, how ever, has in the past sent official delegates 10 about 22 League ot Na- tions conferences. and has sent unof- ficial delegates in an advisory capacity to about oh other League conferences.
 And there has been the Kellogg pact, the Young plan and the treaties.
 Thus we are well entangIed.

THE SEW AGE DISPOSAL
 PROBLEM

Having won an important VIC tory in Superior Court over the practice Of running overflow from the Beckley Quarter sew age bads into the Mattabessett river citizens Of New Britain should realize that every effort to amend the present system should be expended. An injunction 10 prevent the practice has been denied. Wha, If 1t had been upheld? Even now we have had orders from the state Of Connecticut 10 put our disposal plant in order. Cities usually win lawsuits instituted by individuals, the right Of the aggregate is greater than that of the individual But there IS conl- ing 3 time when more people are hurt by our practice than benefit from the convenience offered by the river in draining unsatisfactory settlement beds. When that time comes we shall be in an unfortunate situation indeed. particularly if sum- mary restraint forces us to stop the run Of sewage to Beckley.
 The situation certainly demands that the city must think of inn proving it's disposal system. That is one Of the problems that confronts the present administration and if not tackled properly within the next two years will be unfinished business for a succeeding administration. Jlti- mately something will have to be done about it" and whatever plan is adopted the monetary cost will be heavy.
 The sewer bed system in the town of Berlin has resulted in one law suit after another, the city having been universally victorious in the courts. The most recent suit. how ever, was more important than some Of the others and had it gone against the city would have gone far to nullify the victories achieved in some cf the previous suits
 But the city. all things considered. is not proud Of is present system There are those who are free to say that the utilization Of the resources Of the town Of Berlin as T sewer outlet was a mistake in the first place. and that a more modern method should have been adopted years ago.
 Cities Of size certainly exact much from their neighboring municipal ues. They go far afield for thei water supply use them for sewags disposal plants. and also expect then to be satisfied 10 receive their gar- bage. There is evidence aplenty that the suburban towns are beginning to rebel against at least the sewer and garbage items. The time is soon here when every city will have to dispose of their waste in manner not offensive to their neighbors. and this movement likely will come to a climax in due course.
 It was vitally necessary for the city 10 win the most recent suit. But that out of the way. let there be 2 consistent effort made 10 solve the sewage situation in q more modern and practical manner.

ASKS PART OF BAIL BOND

New Haven. July 2G - Nathan Laplansky, blind in one eye and feeble. petitioned the city yesterday for s2.o50 of the s5,000 bail bond forfeited by man who. he alleges, swindled him with fake diamonds a year ago. Joseph Keller, the man posting bond, swindled Laplansky of his life savings of s2,05o by giving him glass which he said was dia- monds, according to Laplansky.

London. July 26.-For excellent and worthy reasons. everybody in London has become cheese parer." In America the term is '1ight-wad.' It is. of course. born of economic necessity, The British eX- chequer has been scraped to it's bot tom. Nearly every stock in the Unit ed Kingdom has passed" dividends.
 No person is immune from the saving spree-not even the royal occupants of Buckingham Palace, His Majesty and his very popular Queen. The Times this morning tells of the royal pair cutting down the domestic costs of the palace two thousand pounds-or sl0,000-a week.
 We drove past Buckingham this morning and after seeing so much depressing poverty there was q slight mockery in the impressive pomp of the Victoria monument and the lofty masonry of the palace itself. Such royal trappings, of course. are why much Of England has listened 10 the perfidious tinkle of Soviet gold-hence strikes and further economic depression.
 Last year, the year before that and the year before that and. yes, the year before that dinner parties were just one long gabble about British and American stocks over here. This year the silence on financial topics is almost painful. People are doing little eating. And no talking at all,
 A British friend of mine of long standing is somewhat typical of what is going on here. He occupied chambers in aristocratic St. James Square, wrote when the spirit moved and lived handsomely on a stock bearing income of more than sl4,- 900 a year,
 He is now living in a shabby walk up fat in Bloomsbury without man servant, can find no market at all for his usually salable articles and his dividend income is less than $500 a year. Multiply this by millions and you get a fair idea whither the Brittanic winds are blowing. People who ate in smart cafes are dining in A. B. C. restaurants. Former motorists are using the bi- cycle But I can say this for Eng land. So far I have heard less whin- ing than one heard after that mem- orable Wall street crash last Oc- tober. I still hear it. The British have gu. that is, viscera.

THE FACT OF pot BILE
 JEOPARDY

In a monogram on paddock pro- cedure just issued by the |. S. Treasury Department, the subject Of double jeopardy in prohibition cases is gone into at length. It is ad- mitted that under the latest ruling Of the Supreme Court the national government and the states have in fact the right to proceed against the same prohibition violator for the same violation.
 But the matter is ameliorated in the final paragraph on the sub- ject, which reads:
 Practically speaking, the matter Of double jeopardy is not an acute danger, as there is no desire On the part Of prosecuting officers 10 at tempt to convict violator twice for the same offense."
 That sounds comforting Yet the danger continues to exist and can be invoked. The danger of double jeopardy, in fact. was one of the grounds why Alfred E. Smith of New York signed the act repeating the New York enforcement act iu 1923.
 The Treasury Department, how ever, frankly admits that it is hard to reconcile" the later decision oi the Supreme Court permitting double jeopardy with a former de- cision denying it. And
 The situation as it stands today seems to be that suits may be brought against the violator both in the state and federal courts"
 All that can prevent double jeopardy is benignant attitude" by either the federal or the state prose cutting authorities.
