Addinsell, who will be. the president of
the new corporation. Mr.. Addinsell
was vice president and director of Har-
ris, Forbes & Co., and is one of the
best known authorities on public util-
tiles in Wall street. He began his
career with N. w. Harris & Co. as a
boy 26 years ago. He now is in his
early forties.
Becoming interested in the financing
power corporations, Mr.. Addinsell ex-
panded with that department of his
firm. Before joining up with N. w.
Harris & Co. he was soliciting adver-
tising In Wall Street for a New York
newspaper.
Mr.. AddinseIl is well known as
writer and is often quoted. He was
for many years a member and
served a term as chairman of the
Public Service Security Committee of
the Investment Bankers Association.
He is member of the National Elec-
trio Light Associations Committee on
Financial Institutions, and attended the
World Power Conference in London in
June, 1924, where he was made treas
urer of the American Committee and
chairman of the Finance Committee.
From 1917 to 1919 Mr.. AddinSell
served in France as captain in the Field
Artillery and took part In the Argonne
offensive. In his work, Mr.. Addinsell
once said that he tries to follow the
advice of Norman Wait Harris, who
founded the business in 1882: Look for
the weak points, the strong ones will
come out anyway"
Brazilian Bonds.
Market observers here and in London
have been curious to know the reason
for the strength in Brazilian bonds on
the New York and London markets.
The rumor was circulated that the
Hoover debt postponement may be ex-
tended to South American countries.
Such an extension is possible, but not
probable.
There may be another reason. Several
months ago, Sir Otto Niemeyer, well
known English banker and financial
expert, was loaned by the Bank of Eng
land to the RothSchilds, who sent him
to Brazil to study economic conditions
there Wall Street bankers believe that
the English banker may be ready to
make his report and that it might con-
tain the suggestion of the founding of
a bank of issue in Brazil.
Sir Otto Niemeyer was prominent in
the work of the League of Nations.

Five-Dollar Farm Wage

It might be argued that the industrial pros perity of the last IS years has resulted from Henry Fords initiative in establishing min imum factory wage of S5 day. That revo- lutionary procedure was the most spectacular step in the high wage movement which has grown into an economic doctrine and become a fixed part of the American industrial sys- tenn. Will anything of the sort result from Ford's recent application of . the principle to farm labor? It is impossible to say The problem there is far more difficult
 Doubtless it would benefit agriculture, in distant and roundabout way. if farmers in gen eral could manage to pay their hired help 5 day. First it would bring prosperity to mer- chants and manufacturers and provide more work and income for the industrial popula- ton. Then that population would doubtless consume more farm products - but not so very much more. There is lower limit to the quantity of food that can be consumed than there is to the quantity of manufactured goods that can be consumed
 To reap the full benefit from higher wages and more money in circulation in the farming regions. the export market for crops would have to be enlarged. or the immigration bars would have to be let down for horde of new city consumers. or the farmers would all have to get together and limit production in way they have never done yet so as to force up prices Or there would have to be another great war. with non producing millions of fighting men to feed again. The immediate prospect is that there will be good times on the Ford farms. and on those of other like minded and wealthy gentleman farmers.

Georges Stamps

King George of England and his postage stamp hobby came to public attention some time ago when the news got out that he and an American philatelist were both trying to get the same stamp. an exceedingly rare and valuable one. The Kings stamp collecting hobby is the real thing. He eherishes the ambition to own the largest collection in Great Britain.
 Kings and ex-kings should certainly have hobbies the former to take their minds off routine. official affairs which they cannot escape. the latter to take their minds off their lost thrones and monarehists who would re- store them. Not all kings select such quiet and remuneratve hobbies as King Georges however. It costs money to buy stamps. but any enthusiastic philatelist will tell you that they are fine investment bound to increase greatly in value.

A Political Move

To substantate our statement of carly this week that the participation in the dedication of the Harding Memorial at Marion. Ohio. by President Hoover and Ex-President Coolidge was primarily political gesture and not one of friendship for the late Warren G. Harding is borne out by the statements of most of the political experts of the nation. Even David Lawrence. editor of the United States Daily at Washington. finds that it was political in- terest in the republican party which ultimately dictated that Hoover and Coolidge pay re-
 pects to Harding. although they had at- tempted to dodge the issue for many years.
 We don't know the personal feelings of both Coolidge and Hoover towards the late Mr Harding but certainly while both of them sat in the White House they never exerted themselves one bit to clear the stain that was slowly obseuring Hardngs name. Doubtless. ss Lawrence maintains party leaders advised first Coolidge and then Hoover when he suc- eeeded the former to avoid the dedicatory eer- emonies as long as possible. The memorial at Marion could have been dedicated many years ago and Will Hays. former national chairman of the republican party. has spent the last three or four years trying to persuade the chief executive of the nation to participate in appropriate rites.
 Certainly Hoover owed something to Hard- ing. It was the latter who gave Hoover his first cabinet position and preeipitated him in- to striking range of the presidency. Of Ccolidge's regard for the man he succeeded. we probably won't ever know much. It seems to be obvious that Mir Coolidge and the dead Mr Harding were never what might be called bosom friends However, the fact still stands that it required political pressure to force the xesident to agree to participation in the dedi- cation of the Harding tomb. What means were brought to bear to fetch Mir Coolidge from Northampton we don't know. We can only conclude that they were political. prob- ably having to do with the l932 election which is to mark the turning point in Herbert Hoovers career
 Mir Coolidge is nothing if not good re- publican. He may state his likes and dislikes fcrcibly and appear enigmatic. but if his po- litical carer is traced. it will be seen that he has giver the republican party answering loyalty. If it came down to deserting his party for perhaps what he privately considered . distasteful task we think the party would come first. At any rate both he and the president appeared at Marion. Ohio. for the ceremonies. No longer will republican edi- tors in Ohio and throughout the middle west rant and rave about the cowardiee of the high republican officials. They did their duty like little soldiers. An election year is almost at hand Ohio must be saved for the republican party. Judging from le30's results that can't be done. despite presidential and ex-presdental intervention.

Better Newspapers

The total daily circulation of newspapers in the United States is now 40,000,000, the New York Trust Company reports. The Sunday circulation is 28.000.000. Add them together and it makes 68,000,0 900. more than one paper for every two people in the country More important than totals are trends. The increase in the last 10 years has been 36 per cent larger than the increase in population. Thus it is evident that people buy papers. and presumably read them. one-third more than they did in 1921.
 Why the gain' Partly. no doubt because the country is rapidly growing more literate. Mostly perhaps. because of the remarkable improvement of American newspapers since the war. Never in the history of journalism and seldom in the history of any industry or profession has there been SO much improvement in so short a time. Some critics still insist that newspapers are not what they used to be-" They would be surprised if they turned back to their favorite pre-war publications and made an open minded comparison.

Pollution Fight Starts

The meeting of the Tri-State Anti -Pollu- ton Commission in New York this week proved exclusively that the fight that this body has on its hands is colossal one. Colonel Frank S. Fainter of the New Jersey State Board of Health declared that No more inn portant undertaking could be imagined What this commission will do will be more far-reach- ing than any of you dream. Every day in the year there is dumped into the waters of New York harbor alone the stupendous volume of 2.117.000 gallons of impure matter. - Of course, the work of the commission won't center in New York harbor solely. Long Island Sound and the Jersey coastal waters are as badly contaminated and in need of im- mediate attention.
 As we stated. though. some days ago there will be little action. officially. from this state until l933 when the legislature con- venes again. At the time we remarked how unfortunate it was that this tr-state body had not been organized last year so that legisla- ton might have been accomplished this year. The commission expects to make merely a preliminary survey during the next eight months. Reports to the governors of the three states involved. Connecticut. New York. and New Jersey. will follow. After that it will be up to the state officials 10 push the programs that are adopted.
 We have been warned time and again that our beaches are liable to be closed due to pol 'lution. In fact. there was a ban placed on several in and around New Haven Harbor. That might we'll happen at your favorite summer resort. In such a crisis as this it be- hooyes every one of us to lend his or her cooperation. Pollution is only of two sources domestic sewage and factory wastes. Connee- tieut has opened drive on both. but at pres ent is working to eliminate the first before taeklins the problems of industrial plants. Waterbury is a good example of the modern town which is converting it's old-fashioned system of dumping raw sewage into the near est river. Ultimately our sewage will empty into disposal plant for treatment before re- turning to the river in . centralized form.
 Every city and town must ultimately adopt q program of pollution elimination similar 10 our own. And when the cities and towns have fallen n line it will be up to the fac. tories io follow suit if they haven't already voluntarily undertaken 10 help along the cam. paign. Such work M has been accomplished In Connecticut is due io ths elfofb of ibe state water commission whose director GsnsfAl Sanford H. Wadhsms. is member of the ifi. ,isif body It is hisbi time ihsi ths general pubIl< saw heed Co this sIssn.up campaign.

Ranger .Croghan of Glacier National Park, Montana, says, "As slow moving as he is dull witted, a porcupine will often cover a sur prising distance by his persistence. The morn ing of March 5th encountered the tracks of porcupine on the North Fork road in back of Fish Creek ranger station. Following these discovered that the animal had made a round trip from the top of Niece Hill sometime between the snowstorm ot the early evening before and my arrival at 3 In the morning. He had diligently followed the road for 10 miles though his footprints were rarely spaced at more than 6 inches apart. At no place was there any evidence he had eaten not had he met others of his kind. Had he. like so many summer visitors to the parks glories. made the trip for the sheer joy of hiking, only?"

With every indication of complete demo- cratic victory in Connecticut in the 1852 fall elections. it is of interest to note that Connee- tient has not been represented by democrat in the United States Senate in the past fifty years. William H. Barnum was in the Senate from 1876 to 1879. and William w. Eaton was member of the Senate from 1875 to 1881. They were succeeded by Orville II. Platt and Joseph R. Hawley' who in turn have been succeeded by republicans. While at times since 1880 the democrats of Connecticut have had representation in the House of Represen- tatives at Washington. during the past fifty years only two democrats have been elected for four terms each James Phelps of Essex from 1875 to 1883 and Augustine Lonergan of Hartford from 1913 to 1915 and 1917 to 1921 and l93l to 1933. It behooves the democratic party to be up and doing with its golden opportunity at hand.

Campers Ash Trays

Game Warden Frank Sanda of Pennsylvania has come out with simple and practical sug- gestion for forest fire prevention. He would have every hunter and fisherman add to his woods costume an ash tray. ornamental or not. to suit personal tastes. Specifications for this article are simple: Any kind of small tin can or box with lid; two safety pins soldered on its back"
 When the manufacturers of camping outfits attack this problem. the safety pins will doubt less be replaced by some eontraption enabling the sportsman to clip the ash receptacle to pocket or belt as Boy Scouts do their electric flashlights. The technical details are less important than the idea itself. Since most forest fires are started by glowing stubs of cigars and eigarets or hot pipe ashes and burnt matches tossed earelessly into the underbrush. it is obvious that slowing them in closed and fireproof receptacle will be big improve ment. There's chance. however. that if the arrangement works we'll in the woods. wives may insist on something of the sort adapted to the home.

 Washington.-lf anyone doesn't realize now that less meat should be eaten during the summer months 1t isn't the fault of the meat packers and the livestock interests.
 The more umbrage you take at anything the more publicity you States Public Health Service warn- in hot weather would have attracted no more attention than other U. S. P. H. $. bulletins if the meat men had been willing to let we'll enough alone. &
 Instead, they protested vigorously t'. Secretary of the Treasury Mellon, in which department the health ser vice Is; and got themselves and the meat-eating issue into the news papers. When Mellon decided to censor federal health bulletins in the future that news and the TOW about censorship which 1t stirred lip pre- sumably left few people unaware of what the U. S. P. H. S. had been advising.
 Politicians can tell you that it often doesn't pay to take umbrage. W Hen T uSSOiiIl WcHI dlteE General Smedley Butler for calling him q hit-and-run driver the charge didn't stick, but Mussolini found himself being banned on general principles all over the United States while Butler became sort of na- tIonal hero. Senator Nye of North Dakota. finding that Moses of New Hampshire had introduced his ex- penses as chairman of the campaign funds committee into the Congress sional Record, heatedly charged a political plot and so directed atten- tion to his accounts. The accounts undoubtedly were fair, but some of the items looked funny on the face of them and lots of people had a scod laugh at Nye.
 As one who has sometimes report ed the presence of numerous speak easies and gambling joints more or less "in the shadow of the White House." your correspondent now announces that 1t is virtually impos- sible to buy a drink or place a bet in the First police precinct as a result or continued police raids. That hasn't been true for several years heretofore and appears to demon- strate thSs the coppers, if they try, can keep the town comparatively free of speakeasies and gambling joints. The successful methods em- ployed have been, principally. the removal of barricaded doors from such places and arrests of gamblers as ''vagrants." The First precinct, where the drive has centered. takes in the downtown business district and part of the White House grounds. The local liquor traf-
