FRENCH DELAY
 SUPER LINER

Paris Frances entry in the North Atlantic speed race, in answer to the Bremen and Europa and the new ships laid down by America and
 Great Britain. will have to wait while the Chamber of Deputies de- liberates on plan for the govern
 ment to advance 600,000,000 francs for the construction of a 30-knot
 super-liner.
 The Merchant Marine committee of the Chamber has the project. There Is no indication of how soon it will report on the project, but the liner is already overdue. It should be put into service in 1892. The Ile-de-France, flagship of the
 French commercial fleet, laid down
 in 1924, cost 200.000,000 francs for
 43,153 tons. The other French
 liners. Paris, 34,569 tons. cost 4O,-
 000,000 francs and the France, 23,-
 769 tons cost 28,000,000.
 The Bremen and Europa and one Italian liner, exceed the fastest
 French ship by five knots. To help
 keep the French fleet in operation, the government has always aided
 by subventions and under the pro-
 ject the subvention which was 7,-
 100000 francs in 1912, increased to
 21 ,600,000 in 1923, would be 30,000,-
 900 francs in 1880. This, technic-
 ally, is charged against the govern
 ment for carrying mails between
 Havre and New York.

renewed vigor to save it from the avalanche of opposition it encoun- tered in 1927 when it was submitted by Representative John M. Mallon. Jr, New London. Almost unanimous favor of the judiciary committee that year failed to save the bill when public opinion arose in protest. This year, it is understood, the matter of revenue gained by the state will be urged as a strong point in it's fa- vor.
 Those hardy perennials, birth con- trol and jury service for women, are sure to come before the assembly with strength gained through years of persistent effort to obtain their passage.
 A bill for repeal of the state en- forcement act has been discussed and may be introduced. Such a measure would place Connecticut on the same basis with regard to en- forcement as Massachusetts, which recently repealed its "baby Volstead' act.
 A bill permitting the governor to sign bills more than three days after the adjournment ofs tho general as- sembly probably will be passed due to the state supreme, courts McCook case decision, invalidating some 1.2OO measures signed after the statutory limitation of three days.

 of damages the committee is ordered to report to the clerk of the Litch- field county superior court.
 Tn Connecticut Light &s Power Co through it's Attorney, William E. Thoms brought the petition to the Litchheld superior court seeking the appointment of the committee. The case was put on file for convenience sake as "Connecticut Light & Pow CT Co against Helen Antman and others" There were six respondents in the action, all of whom were land owners over which the company de- sired to construct extension lines. The land was located in New Mil ford between the Rocky river power house project to the Bulls Bridge power house, to the east of the Hou- satonic river
 The six respondents engaged the services of Bronson, Lewis & Bron- son of this city as well as Professor Levitt, to represent them.
 The petition was heard partly be- fore Judge Arthur r. Els in the Litchfield superior court. It was felt by counsel for both sides that the case should be transferred to the Waterbury superior court for conven- fence purposes. Judge Booth presid ed at the several hearings.
 Professor Levitt filed a special de- fense to the granting of the con- pany's petition, in which he charged the company lost it's charter rights of taking land by condemnation pro- ceedings by the executive rates it charged. He also raised several oth- CT points to which Attorney Thoms filed a demurrer. Julge Booth sus- tains the demurrer which pointed out that no court or judge of any other body with jurisdictional power had ever taken away the company S charter rights of condemnation pro- reedings.

Madrid.--Spain has two cities ac- lively bidding for the next general disarmament conference, San Se- bastian and Barcelona.
 San Sebastian is famous for its "Concha Beach" on the Bay of Bis cay and is one of the country's most important summer resorts. Barce- Iona, on the Mediterranean. is a winter resort.
 Both cities present numerous ad- vantages. San Sebastian is much smaller. but has many hotels.
 Barcelona is city of 710,000 in- habitants and probably has more hotel rooms per capita than any city in the world, for several big hotels were built in 1929 on account of the International Exposition.
 The city is also accessible from many directions. It is 15 hours from Paris and 12' hours from Madrid.

 Politics

Jackson, Miss A statewide move ment attracting the attention of ed- ucational leaders of the south is gain ing momentum here to correct the state educational institutions in or der to lift the ban of the Southern Association of Colleges and Second ary schools.
 The suspension, effective septem- Der 1, 1892, for the four state owned schools will bar graduates from teaching positions not only in this state but outside as well.
 Four Schools
 A committee Investigating condi- tions in the four schools banned, in- cIuding the University of Mississippi, Mississippi State College for Women, Mississippi Agricultural State Teach CTS College at Hattiesburg, is expect cd to report soon.
 The purpose of the investigation, according to State Senator w. T. Fay Tor. 'is to take the schools out of politics. and to correct conditions which caused suspension from the education association.
 Politics Blamed
 At the Atlanta, Ga, meeting re- gently where the vote to suspenl the schools was taken. politics was blam co by speakers.
 Leaders in the movement pointed out that Governor Theo Bilbo. had d smissed or denoted deans. profess scrs. and instructors and by chang ing the heads of institutions had de- nioralized the states educational sys- tenn. In all. 1t was said, 45 demotions or dismissals have been made by the states executive.

the war, has been on SCdle CO direct attention to it as a social problem. Back in 1900 the num- Der of persons engaged in both the primary and secondary op- erations of the industry in the province was 31,659; it declin- slowly to c,673 in 1910; then increased to 29,364 in 1913. Dur ing the war the number varied from 26,5OO to 29,5O0. By 1924 it had dropped to 19,870 and has been close to that figure every year since, being 19,823 in 1929. The decrease since the second year of the war has been over 30 per cent.
 Novia Scotia's experience in this respect is not peculiar. The fishing industry of Canada as a whole tells a similar story, de- spite the expansion of the fish cries on the Pacific Coast and on the lakes of the prairie provinc- es. The total of persons engag- ed in the Dominion fisheries in 1915 was 1O2,182, as compared with 78,219 in 1918., a decrease of about 23 per cent.
 In England and Wales, altho concentration and mechaniZa- tion characterized the industry long before the war, the number of fishermen employed has also declined though at lesser rate than in Canada. English and Welsh fishermen in 1913 num- bered 45,332 including about B. 900 irregu]arly employed. In 1920 the number was 41,117 while in 1928 it had fallen to 34,- O42, including about 4,0OO ire gularly emrloyed.
 In Scotland the number of fishermen in 1928 was 25.O43. The decline there has been slower, due to the tenacity of the boat fishermen irregularly em- Dloyed.-Canadian Fisherman.
