 ANNIVERSARY s kgh1KA
VISIT TO SENATE

On May 1, 1917, Vice Premier Viviani. Marshal Joffre and Ambas- sador Jusserand visited the United States Senate chamber ito pay the respects of the French government.
 A demonstration followed such as had not been witnessed since Lafay- etc was the guest of the United States in 1922. The senators clapped hands deafeningly and rose. the galleries shouted more deafen- ingly still and rose. leaning forward and waving, while members of the House, standing at the back of the chamber. surged forward.
 The visitors shook hands with Vice. President Marshall and stood beside him, looking with evident pleasure nt the wild scene before them. When the applause had lasted for several minutes MT Mar shall tapped for order. SsEt
 When M Viviani concluded his address to the Senate. shouts of "Joffre! Joffre" filled the cham Der. and the marshal turned and said with smile: 1T do not speak English Then raising his right hand. he call out, ''Vivent les Etats- Unis!" With a military salute he was gone

Representatives -are supposed to be that in more than name.

The New Haven aldermen have voted to repeal the mill and one-half school tax that has been in existence in that city for SO long. It was similar to one that Waterbury had. By means of it the school department was able to finance itself without recourse to bond is- sues. The department was assured of defi- mite amount of money annually regardless of tax collections or any of those other puzzling financial questions that keep city officials in state of turmoil and unrest. Such mandatory taxes, however, are not as popular as they were in former days. And most cities are willing enough to recognize their school de- partmcnt's. needs and respond with bond is- sues when capital outlay is demanded.

The New York Herald Tribune of Thurs day offered novel makeup to newspaper men and those interested in the craft. Out of respect to Mrs Whitelaw Ogden Reid. widow of the former ambassador to Great Britain who was also owner of the old New York Tribune before its consolidation with the Herald. the entire editorial page was made up with mourning rules Ordinarily the columns of newspaper are separated by fine rule. By reversing these rules and using the back heavy black line is produced. The effect was the somber not for which the competitors strived.

 President Hoover has been as firmly opposed to the debenture scheme as he and President Coolidge were to the equalization fee. Tn the last congress the senate adopted one variant of the plan and finally wrote 1t into the tariff bill. from which 1t was eliminated by administration pressure when the bill went to con- ference with the house.

diverse other odd jobs that such service entails. Any curtailment of the funds now available for suci, work would result in fewer trout in the streams, fewer phessants in the woods. And how often do we hear complaints that there aren't enough today. Superintendent Titcomb says that safe estimate of the num- Der of trout taken from the 20 state-leased streams on the opening day of the lo3l sea- son is l5.000. That's quite a catch. Any body should be willing to pay for it.

The public utilities commission appoint ment is still pretty we'll muddled. We think some of its complications would be dissipated if state officials would stop conjecturing on possibilities that the resignation of Charles C. Elwell of New Haven will create. If Mr Elwell should resign it is pointed out. the governor could safely rename Joseph w. Alsop of Avon. whose term expires this year. and also name democrat to the commission
 in place of Mir Elwell. The latter is re- ported to be seriously i'll in hospital It is also reported at various times that MT 'Elwell has actually resigned and his resignation is in the hands of republican leaders who are holding it as a weapon of defense of offense depending upon what action the governor takes. It might smooth matters considerably if this resignation (provided it actually has been given) were made public and the gov ernor allowed to fill the two places Of course nobody expects Professor Richard Joyce Smith of the Yale Law School to be renamed by the governor. It would be asking too much of Mir Smith to have his name and reputation tossed around the General Assem- bly, as the republicans did when he was first nominated for the commission. Professor Clyde o. Fisher of Wesleyan University is now said to be Governor Gross choice. He is a noted economist. The governor might even name him in place of Mir Alsop and get the drop on the republican Legislature.

A Woman Speaks of Women

One of the most distinguished women of Denmark and of the world has just paid her first visit to our Capitol City. She is Miss Henni Forehammer. delegate to the League of Nations since 1920. member of the Inter- national Council of Women. and president of the Denmark National Council of Women. Miss Forchammer. who is travelling under the auspices of the League of Nations. spoke at George Washington University on the inter national activities of women. This is one of a series of lectures which she is delivering in large cities of the United States.
 Speaking of the growing participation of women in League activities. Miss Forehammer said. "At the first Assembly only three eoun- tries Denmark. Norway and Sweden. each in- cluded woman in their delegation. This number has slowly but steadily increased so that last year saw l4 women among the dele gates. The women take their full share of work both in the Assembly and the com mitties.
 Several of the special advisory committees include women: Intellectual Corporation, Health. Mandates. Campaign Against Traffic in Women and Children, and Child Well fare. It is. however. only small number of individual women who can have the priv lege of serving the League in such direct way Their number may increase. but it is even more important that the great mass of women support the League by taking warm interest in its work, and in their homes and elsewhere help to build up sympathetic pub lie opinion. without which the League ean- not fulfill its high mission of peace and good will among the nations
