TRI-STATE POLLUTION PACT
Bridgeport Telegraph

Connecticut's shore from the easterly side of Morgan Point at New Haven, to the Connecticut New York boundary line is inclui- ed in the Tri-state Anti Pollution pact set up by joint commission representing Connecticut, New
 York and New Jersey. The purpose of the commission is to curb the pollution of tidal waters and 1t recognizes the fact that point &C., tion by the three states is neces- sary, if any successful program is carried through.
 In New York state the area under the commissions authority would take in all of the tidal waters of greater New York city: the north shore of Long Island to Port Jeff ferson, opposite Bridgeport: the south or Atlantic shore to Jones' Inlet. and the Hudson river as far north as Newburgh. The Jersey area would include the tidal waters of the bay from the New York New Jersey state boundary to Sam dy Hook and the Atlantic shore as far north as Manasquan inlet.
 To prevent overt acts such as the dumping of garbage and other re- iucC HUI ttfC auoi WdleIs VIII pTOD- ably be the first port of the com- missions program. To clean up pollution engendered by industries and municipalities win be a much slower work. Tn fact the magnitude of the problem involved is so great that 1t seems hopeless in most cases to expect the cities and villages to finance 1t. They can do their share by not permitting the creation of new nuisances. and by finding san- itary ways in which to dispose of their garbage. But the question of sewage is much more scomplicated:
 the construction of sewage disposal plants to screen, filter and purify municipal waters completely Is one
 involving engineering of the high
 est order and many millions Of dollars.
 It can be done In time. The commission, can make itself imme- diately useful by preventing the fn. crease Of the present area Of pol iution and by ending the more ob- vious causes of trouble. such as the dumping of oil and garbage.

TO-DAY'S SELECTED POEM
AUTUMN

(By Tristan Mare in The New York Times) This is the time of longing and not Spring. Provocative with beauty on display. Can teach the heart nostalgia songs to sing Keen as the dolor of an Autumn day Lost Mays grow dinner when the newest
 May
 Flaunts her young colors; but the cruel sting Of each new Autumn gives a new delay To the forgetfulness that Time should bring. Those who have sinned or sorrowed or
 known pain, All those who go unhallowed or unbest. Will search these days for happiness in vain. There Is no peace In Autumn and no rest. All who are kin to sorrow now will find The wind of Autumn is better wind.

Lack of interest in saving two huge elm trees on Colony street in Meriden has speeded the work of removing them for utiltarian purposes. A descendant of their planter considered an appeal to Mayor Ma loney when it was proposed to remove them. She failed to attract any sympathy so the work will proceed Usually there are plenty of tree lovers to support such pleas. There were in this city when West Main street was widened.

"One Money"

Anyone who has travelled abroad since the war knows how troublesome foreign currency is, especially when crossing bound ary lines. Money systems and values may change every couple of hundred miles. Just at present. with the gold standard vanishing and values seeking new levels bankers. manufacturers and merchants everywhere are finding the exchange system more unsat- isfaetory than usual. H. c. Wells the British author, says he would reform this situation by adopting one monetary system for the whole world.
 Tt is manifest to every one he says. that the existing cash and credit system IS breaking down. It is ancient and worn out. The industrial life of the world is being strangled in an immense tangle of debts. A single world currency and world controlled credit system constitute neces- sary preliminary to the rationalizaton of economic life which is the only sure founda- ton of world peace and prosperity He will have difficulty, however, in getting such radical reform adopted. There are too many old quaek remedies still in favor.

During the course of sermon Sunday the Rev Dr Randolph Ray of New York remarked that There is one cause that we can do great deal to remedy. l be- lieve prohibition to be one of the causes ot our present situation. We should see to it as citizens that the present pernicious law is altered that the millions of dollars now corrupting the country in the bootegging and illegal distribution of alcoholic drinks should be properly used in the legal manu- facture and distribution of properly taxed beers. wines and liquors. Decent and legitimate work could be given to thou sands of men and many millions of dollars could be saved to our government. There would be no necessity of further taxation of incomes and necessities of life to a peo- pie already overburdened. ~ We presume that the preacher will probably hear from his superiors shortly. In fact we wouldn't be surprised to hear his resig- nation being demanded. That's what hap pened to Lutheran minister on Long Island who dared to oppose prohibition. We can't understand why if the clergy can favor prohibition they can't oppose it. One is just as much political issue as the other in this age.

TODAY IS THEA ANNIVERSARY s geAA
HISTORIC CONGRESS

hISlOhlC CONUhESS
 On October 6, 1917,, one of the most memorable sessions of the United States Congress ended.
 This, the first session of the sixty-fifth congress. began by a special call on Apri l2, 1917, and the same evening heard President Wilson's address recommending a declaration of war.
 More legislation of the most far-reaching order was passed than in any previous session. while the appropriations ran into billions of dollars. &
 This session will be historical as definitely marking the great transformation of the republic, with its early ideas of avoiding entangling alliances, into a mighty worl dpower fully and frankly recognizing that its interests are as wide as humanity itself.
 Not the least interesting feature of the session was the extraor- dinary ascendancy of President Wilson over congress, receiving authority for practically every war measure he demanded, and successfully resisting those he deemed fnadvisable.

As she entered Royal street two su-
tomohiles drew to the curb in front Of
Divitt's place Men in uniforms got
out. The gates opened again and they
went in
Juanita crossed Royal street There
was the look Of q sleep walker on her
face.
1t was toward morning that Kirk
Stanard came back to Divitt's place
ana rang the bell There was pad
lock on the gate, but he rang-long
rings that might have raised the dead.
NO answer came, and presently he re-
membered q gate that led from the
I11on patio probably into this court.
He had seen IL the night he talked
there with Juanita He walked quickly
around to the Tijon. seeing no one as
he went through the lobby except a
boy behind the desk-a boy who looked
at him with frightened eyes and asked
no questions.
The gate had been broken as If with
an ak, and tied again with rope It,
too, was padlocked. Kirk undid the
rope and went in.
Silence. The silence Of a forgotten
cemetery. The parlor doors stood open.
The lights still burned. Chairs and
tables were overturned Kirk made the
circuit Of the court. opening doors upon
empty rooms. He started up the stair
Suddenly he heard a sound-a long,
bleating cry that came from an upper
room, echoing through the court.

Nelly had grieved keenly over Jua-

Nelly worried considerably about IL
and about Kirk Kirk was so changed.
Indeed. there were incidents con-

and troubled him. Her strange be-
