Protect State Flower

Although many cities, like Waterbury, have given good example in protecting our state flower, the mountain laurel there is still lack of respect among many of us for the shrubs and flowers that grow along our highways. Before the highway system of Connecticut was the elaborate one 1t is today the Naugatuck valley at this time of the year was veritable bower of pink and white blossoms. There is nothing prettier than cluster of laurel blooms outlined against their green foliage with the rocky and wooded hillsides in the background. There are still occasional flashes of this as one drives up the ealley, but not in the profusion of former years
 We suppose the same condition exists in other parts of the state. too. Of course, if you leave the beaten paths and seek the seelu- sion of the dirt road you will find mountain laurel in all its glory. untouched by the hand of man. All of us don't know these hal lowed spots. which in one way is good thing for if more people found their way to them there would be wholesale destruction of the shrubbery. Such is the fate of all outdoors. We don't know how many of our native flowers have been almost eradieated because of this grabbing habit of ours. Were we to cut and pfune with nice attention to the job there might not be so much complaint from flower lovers.
 There is just now wave of sentiment for the return of the old days when people had regard for public property as we'll as private The state has given it impetus by creating beauty spots along the roadside; by providing spots that tempt the fleeing motorst to stop and picnic in the shade of kindly trees with ferns and other woody plants at his feet. Roadsides have been beautified. Some of the landscape work that the department has done is remarkable. but 1t is just an example of what man can do with the natural beauties that God has given us to enjoy. Is 1t any wonder that so many of us complain when thoughtless people root up summer greenery to decorate their cars for few hours? Rarely, if sver. do these branches of flowers penetrate inside of house. The refuse pile receives them after the ride is done.
 The Connecticut Forestry Association IS fostering such conservation as we advocate by promoting plan whereby all forest areas adjoining state roads will become public prop erty if they are not so today. We rather inn asine that in few more years people will be- come conscious of their faults when they snatch flowers from the roadsides and then run for the security of their automobiles. The lesson of plant conservation cannot be taken too seriously. Everyone of us should realize that when Nature smiles upon us, as she does this season of the year, it is not for us to blot out this sunshine by eternal grabbing for everything in sight.

Back To Mo ri

The Chinese are said to be turning from Confueus to Mo ri, as more suited to the needs of the present generation in China So dabblers in religion have another to study. It is worth studying. Confueius, the great Chinese sage, was moralist rather than prophet. Twenty four centuries ago, about the time when Buddha in India was teaching the Chinese that man is naturally good that his greatest duties are reverence for parents and neighborliness to all others, that virtue is to be practiced for its own sake and not for a reward.
 Confucius was preacher of duty. Mo ri. who came century later. was preacher of universal love- That principle, he thought. was proper foundation for organized society. Practice system based on love, then calami- ties would vanish and the Golden Age would come He was supreme altruist, like Bud dha, and would have made supreme sacrifice to save the world. Christians can understand this Mo ri better than they can Confuelus If modern Chinese will really follow his teachings. it may do them as much good as 1t would do us to follow our own religious teachings. More love and less hate IS the great need of our two countries, and of all other countries.

Musical Genius

A New York musician who operates 12 orchestras. provides all the music for big metropolitan hotel, plays for most of the big eastern college dances, and has three song hits to his credit within year. proudly confesses that he cannot read or write note of music. For his songs, he has pianist who collabor- ates with him. In his orehestras he has musi- clans who help him pick out and arrange pro- groms.
 He has developed curious code. made up of figures and other arithmetieal signs by which he can write down the simple tunes that come to him in his inspired moments. He knows where middle C is on the piano key board. He uses plus numbers for the keys to the right of that minus numbers for the keys to the left. and has other symbols for half f-notes and complete octaves. Yes. hcs bright fel- low. But with such information. it is easier somehow to understand the present popular music in America.

Why Cancel War Debts?

To say that allied war debts to the United States have nothing to do with German reparation to the Allies is to talk nonsense We may wish the two had nothing to do with each other. but logically and economically they are connected. Germany's recognized ob- ligations to the Allies are little more than the Allies recognized obligations to the Unit cd States. In effect. the Allies are using repar- arion money to pay us If Germany fails to pay, the Allies may fail to pay,not neees- sarily because they could not. but because they have a plausible excuse. Germany hnds 1t harder and harder to pay, and so do the Allies Hard times are almost universal. Hence there is more talk than ever about eaneellation:>-
 The situation might as well be frankly recognized. Cancellation IS hard word with Americans Whatever of those debts IS not paid by the foreign debtors will have to be paid by American citizens, in higher taxes and prices, along with our own war debts. And Americans like to have business done straight and obligations met squarely. Still, we have already hedged half or more on the collection of those war debts. Shall we sur render the rest' And if so, why'
 It has been said countless times in this country. by private citizens and unofheially by government officials that if those war debts ever were canceled. it would be done only on condition that the European powers should dsarm sufficiently to make future wars and war debts unlikely Otherwise there would probably be no gain either to cred itors or debtors. This attitude is probably more general in America to-day than ever be- fore The president is believed to sympathize with it. It does not say that we would cancel, but it opens the way for Germany and the Allies to make an unusually effective appeal to this country.
 If they are sincere about their professions of peace and their need of financial easement, they might make serious start st cutting their cost of armament. and indicate willing ness for further cutting, Probably no definite bargain could be made on so delicate a mat lsn but America and Europe could under Msnd each other, and might set accordingly If they did, this hsrasssd world would prob ably sxpsnsnes q great sudden release Of wbelssems snsrsiM economic and other wise,

Air-Cooled Trains

The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad an- nounces an experiment now being tried out on one of its crack trains. If it works. 1t should greatly lessen the discomfort of sum- mer railroad travel The train is equipped throughout = lounge, observation car, parlor cars and coaches with an up-to-date air. purifying system. the first of its kind to be installed on any railroad. By this means temperature and humidity will be properly reg uated and the air will be cleansed of dust particles and cinders.
 It sounds almost too good to be true. Other railroads will watch the experiment.. If the cost is within reason and the apparatus works well, the equipment should become general on all good trains That ought to take off some of the burden the railroads are struggling under. for it would appeal to many possible passengers as the deciding factor in the choice of transportation. Motor coaches are neither dust proof nor air-cooled at present.

GREAT BATTLE
 ON GOLF LINKS
Will Be Held Next Wednes- day Between Rotary and
 kiWaniS Clubs
FOR GERMAN SILVER CUP

The Rotary Club Bulletin and "The Kiwanian," the official Ki- wanis club publication, both carry accounts of the coming golf battle between the Rotarians and the Xii wanians with advice as to how to get in form for the battle of links to take place Wednesday of this week at the Waterbury County club.
 The Kiwanis paper states: "Our Annual Golf Tournament with the Rotary club comes Wednesday next. This is the third annual tournament of the kind and our score to-day is one up each. The results next Wednesday will determine the own ership of the large German Silver Toothpick Holder. Incidentally, we are playing under a new set of rules this year. Rotary discovered that kiwanis had invited Bobby Jones as guest player and Kiwanis discovered that Gene Sarazen in the same capacity. When our perfect ly honest golf committee discovered these facts, new rules were immedi- ately formulated and 1t has now been decided that not more than three guests players per member may be used on either side"
 After giving some facts about the contest, the Rotary club bulle- tin says: If you have not already done so, please notify the commit tee if you intend to participate in the match or attend the luncheon or dinner. Prizes will be awarded for low gross and low net scores, largest number of 3's, As and 5's, longest drive on No l, nearest to hole on drive No 3. A putting contest will be held on the clock golf course for which prizes will also be given. Special prizes for all birdies. A ball sweepstakes will also be held"

wild animals suffer terribly. during the prog ress of forest ffe. But their troubles do not end when the fire is put out. Many of those that survive the flames die later from lack of food and lack of protective covering, both of which are destroyed by fire. Fishes die in streams because of warmed and ash-poisoned water and lack of oxygen. Deer suffer from badly burned feet
 It has been estimated that barely per cent of Wisconsin's forest fires are caused by light ming. The other 99 per cent are the result of human carelessness or indifference. The whole effect of forest fires is considered more destructive to game than all the violations of hunting and fishing laws. The vacation sea- son is well under way now. People are turn ing to the woods for one-day outing and re- creation and for longer periods of camping and outdoor life. It seems incredible that people who truly enjoy such excursions would remain indifferent to the damage any careless ness of theirs might cause if they understood the situation. Somehow, this particular branch of public education must be more thorough.

The declaration that legazed beer would net the federal government billion dollars in cash is somewhat exaggerated, we think. Never in the palmiest days of the saloon did taxes on liquors amount to this hgufe.
