HAZARDS ON THE
 PUBLIC STREETS
Youngsters on Bicycles Take Chances of Be-
 ing Run Down
MENACE TO MOTORISTS

Children, always n source of worry to drivers of vehicles on the public ways are more so since the advent of the auto than ever before. There was danger of run- ming down youngsters in the days when there was nothing faster on the streets than horse and the yoke of oxen. but now with the rapidly moving motor car it be- hooves theses in charge to be on the alert and prepared to make a stop at short notice.
 The number of children playing in the streets appears to be on the when they are on foot, but it Is increased ten fold when they rush here and there on bicycles and scooters without giving a thought to the approaching automobile moving at top speed or making al- lowance for the pedestrian on the sidewalk. Waterbury and all other cities have made provision for boys and girls in public parks where they are at liberty to in- dulge in amuscments without risk to themselves or others. but re- gardless of all this the streets are the favorite play place of large numbers.
 It is all right until something happens. Then the blame is laid at the door of the motorist. Some times he Is at fault. but this is not so in all cases. In any event, what difference does it make where the blame rests If child Is killed or maimed for life. The state motor vehicle authorities make many suggestions in the in- terest of human life, but 1t is doubtful If children ever give them a thought. Parents and others should give this matter serious consideration and not expect too much from the man in charge of q car. All drivers are not careless nor unmindful of the fact that they have to be constantly on the lookout for thoughtless children.

The children of Waterville who, for the most part, received their library books through the classroom collections sent to Sprague school, will now have a room of their own, on the second floor of the new building. The ground floor, being the more ac- cessible was conceded by right to the grown people.
 It is expected that the present building, with a shelving capacity for some 2,000 volumes, will ade- quately serve the future as well as the present needs of the commu- nifty.
 Repairs have been made to the entrance porch. a cement walk laid from the street, and considerable grading done around the approach to the building. A sign hung above the front gateway directs people to the library which is open on Tues days, Thursdays and Saturdays firm 3:30 to 6, and to 3 D. m.
 A special invitation is extended to the people of Waterville to visit the library on the opening day.

New Haven. Aug 31-The final shipment of Oriental peach moth parasites by the Connecticut Agri- cultural Experiment Station this week end, brings the total dis tribution this summer to or chards in this state, to 11,500,000 Trichogramam and 10000 Macro- centrus.
 Whether the large part of the native peach crop is picked free of peach moth injury, depends now on the action of parasites in destroying the pest, and on na- tural conditions beyond conrtol. Two years ago severe losses were suffered because of the peach moth. A few early native beach, es of the 1891 crop are now on the market, fairly free of blem- ishes. Later varieties will be harvested from now on.
 Production of the Trichogram- ma, or parasite that destroys the peach moth egg, was double this summer what 1t was in 1880. That was the first year of the project to supply growers with parasites to

The Waterville branch of the Bronson library will open in it's new home in the annex of the Water vile fire station tomorrow after noon at 3:30 o'clock. Originally intended for a police station and jail, the possibility of converting this long unused wing of the fire house into a permanent home for the branch library became appar- ent some time ago to the library board of agents. By a vote of the board of police commissioners and the department of public works, the building was finally turned over to the library and the work of al- iteration begun in the late winter.
 The result, with cells and parti- tions removed, staircase built connecting the upper and lower rooms, and the whole remodelled and redecorated, is two attractive,

Lloyd George Uses It
to Hit Tariff

That there are 100000 unem-
ployed in the United States was one
of the main points in a speech made
by David Lloyd George, one of the
leading capitalist politicians Of Eng
land, in arguing against an increas-
ing tariff.
Lloyd George pointed to the fact
that the high tariff in the United
States did not eliminate the crisis but
tended to worsen it. He pointed to
the fact that the United States gov
crnmctn faces deficit of $750,0O0.-
coo to $1,000,O0O00O. He said that
wage cuts were proceeding just as
regularly in the United States as they
are in Britain.
Lloyd Feorge's speech, while adj
uniting the world crisis of capitalism,
was used solely in an effort to fight
against a drastic increase in tari@i
rates which he fears will make the
crisis worse and intensity the class
struggle.

American Agricultural Expert
Sees Triumph of Soviet Plan

WASHINGTON, May 4-One of
the most unqualified predictions of
triumph for the Soviet Five Year
Plan as a means Of securing to the
Russian worker and peasant a high
standard of living, ever made by a
prominent American, was voiced by
H. L. Russell, former dean of the
College of Agriculture at the Uni
versity Of Wisconsin, before the In
ternational Chamber of Commerce,
meeting in Washington May a.
Russell's topic was Agriculture, the
Touchstone of World Depression and
Prosperity"
= Admits Remarkable Achievement.
He began by describing Soviet Rus
sia's remarkable achievement in
determination of wheat production in
the past three years. He quoted
American government reports on the
vast extent of the program of
mechanical farming that has been
thus far completed, and cited the
rich natural resources that the Sow
let Union can devote to this end.
Russia is eagerly utilizing the
very latest Of scientific knowledge
to enlarge her agricultural posi-
bilities," he said, with feverish
anxiety she is literally pouring mil
lions into expansion of her univer-
sity research institutes, experiment
stations and breeding farms. Her
scientists are combing the earth for
new crops and new methods. No
country In Europe today is mani
Testing more interest and more ao-
tivity In laying hold of the best
science, wherever 1t may be found"
Each Of us may have his own idea
as to what will be Russia's influ-
ence on the rest of the world" he
said. I'VE may flout her philosophy
Of government, we may deny her rec
ognition in the family Of nations,
but this economic fact remains.
There is certainly no area in Europe,
or for that matter in any part of
the occupied world. that is fraught
with such potentialities as to COM
mercial expansion as is to be found

blem of the sickle and hammer,
