Algiers, North Africa.-I have no doubt that Algiers is everything that has been said of 1t.
 But my final adventure in North Africa allowed me only the most hit-and-run glimpse of 1t. This glimpse made it seem gay, cosmo- politan, extremely French, quite lovely to look upon, a place of typi- cal nights clubs and mingled races, a winter resort of rare climate, splotchy with contrasts and place where you can get 8 hot bath, shoe shine and all the rest.
 We had driven in at neat rate of speed in an effort to have day or more of browsing and city life. At the hotel word awaited that the governor general had invited me to be one of distinguished guests''- laugh that off-at a dinner that very evening. My baggage had not arrived.

Senator Joe Lawlor might have incor- porated this idea in his bill to make it mis- demeanor to throw lighted match, cigarette. or cigar in the forests of Connecticut. The American Game Association is now sponsoring movement to put an ash tray in every auto- mobile that is operated on our highways A good many car owners now put them in for their own convenience and those of their pas sengers, but the majority still stick to the habit of throwing still burning matches, cigarettes. and cigars by the wayside. Too many forest fires are caused by this bit of carelessness. Our state forester. Austin F. Hawes, has asked for legislative aid time and again. That's why so much attention is being paid to the measure that Senator Lawlor introduced at this session. It might be passed. although it would be extremely drastic and rather hard to enforce. Pennsylvania is also considering legislation along the same lines The move ment will be nationwide in a few more years and the general public will probably about that time begin to realize that there must be some good reason for adopting such tactics. And our forest acreage will be considerably less. Now is the time to take action

Senator James Hamilton Lewis thinks there will be four presidential candidates in the race in l932. He predicts split in both the democratic and republican ranks. although even the most hard boiled progressive to-day is proelaming the fact that there won't be third party in the field one year hence. Sen ator Lewis says Hoover will be renominated by the republican regulars. while the pro- gressives will have their own candidate. There will be democratic candidate. probably wet. and there will be a new prohibition party with candidates chosen from the South and West. That's good diagnosis, even though 1t may not happen.

No Wet Referendum

The proposal of Senator Acker-
man, of Cleveland, for vote on
prohibition at the presidential pri-
maries next year goes by the board.
And in defeat Of the scheme it is in
dicated that the vets themselves are
widely apart on any and all referen-
dums that may be submitted to Ohio
voters. Some are willing to vote
down prohibition only with the as
surance that the saloon will not
come back, while another element
would lose all interest with this
clause inserted. Ohio voters have
always proven they are opposed to
the return of both the saloon and
the sale of intoxicating liquors, SO
really the calling off of a referen-
dunn next year doesn't have much
meaning. But it will save con
siderable expense and a good many
stump speeches.
