Here, There And EuerylUhere

big spenders any more; the govern ment was ruining them with taxes; they were one and all headed for bankruptcy and oblivion. This week come long accounts of the opening of the most luxurious and preten- tious salon in the world at Monte Carlo as a challenge to Frank Gould's magnificence of roulette and dice at Nice. Two fifteen thous- and ton ocean liners have been chartered to anchor offshore and serve as summertime hotels. There are three dance floors, six bars and a roof garden. A cinema actress of yoluptuos charms was on exhibit at the grand opening.
 It is hardly possible that both versions of the casinos of Europe can be correct and 1t is pleasanter to suppose that the bankers in la menting their poverty are merely resorting to ruse, familiar to every business man in the world, to reduce their tax burdens. Some- where somehow, even in the leanest of times money is raised which finds its way eventually to the green topped tables under the drop lamps. It is hardly probable that the hard headed bankers of Paris would put up the price of 50 elaborate & plant as that which has orisen at Monte Carlo unless they were sure of reasonable return on 1t. In any vent, the details of the gay doings in the Oppenheim maner a he mos famous of Riviera rsors furish spot of color in drab world dan form plausible background for novels and cinema versions of what the French amusingly designate "la vie sporting"

everybody seemed to have forgotten what it was about. After two weeks of growing uproar. people along the outer edges began complaining to the authorities. The sheriff then swooped down and confiseated truck load of horns. drums. kettles, pans. wash boilers, saws. anvils. oil barrels and other internal instruments. and threatened to arrest all the demonstrators if the disturbance con- tinued. Three hundred farmers dared him to return. and planned new campaign.
 Here is an extreme case of what seems in danger of growing into a national custom. That is, making noise for its own sake. Some of the big cities have been engaging in anti noise campaigns, but they don't accomplish much. Noise as an occupation is supposed to be characteristic of savages. In Africa the natives love to beat on hollow log by the hour. All boys in the tribal stage are like that. Music is supposed to be the civilized substitute for such noise. In spite of all our orchesras and radio sets. this happy land still seems to have few rough edges on it's eul- ture.

MIR FORD, FARMER

(New Haven Journal-Courier) (.
 MT Ford has for months been evincing more or less vaguely, @ suspicion that one way out of the depression is 6 return to economic first principles, including a reha- bilitation of agriculture. He has shown 1t in his plan to "raise" the raw materials from which he makes his cars, to substitute the farm for the mine in his search for the ingredients that go into Fords. Now he insists that the working man can ease his burdens greatly by going into the farming business himself on a small scale to the extent of kitchen garden. MT Ford. indeed goes further; he makes the establishment of & gar- den a condition of further employ ment in the Ford plant and softens the rigor of tins paternalism by of- fering to supply those with land who have not got it.
 We suspect there is an excellent example in this new Ford scheme for Americans everywhere with any access to Mother Earth. All of us have not benignant captains of commerce for bosses, of course, whose resources are so limitless they can supply us with the land we lack. But all of us who do not lack land might well draw upon the bounty of Nature to repair the sudden niggardliness developed by our man-made economic order.

Abyssinia's Constitution

Ras Tafari, "Conquering Lion of Judah and ruler of Abyssinia, is true to his word. He announced soon after his elaborate cor onation that he was going to give his people constitution and parliament. Recent news dispatches say he has done SO.
 Abyssinia thus becomes a constitutional monarchy. How the people take to their new democracy remains to be seen. Usually such changes come after long and devoted activity on the part of liberty loving sub- jeets. Democracy as the free-will gift of a sovereign may not be appreciated.
 Still and all, we are betting on Ras Ia fari. He seems to have looked around the world at his fellow rulers and to have ob- served that the constitutional monarchs have been having little better time of it of late than the ld-fashioned absolute variety.

Household Pedestrianism

It may be. as speaker told the ehiropody convention at Fort Worth, Texas, that the average housewife walks 7.3 miles day in the course of her household duties. And if so, then housekeeping is suitable theme for conscientious chiropodists. Something has to be done about that housework, and about the foot ailments it produces.
 We may doubt. though whether the miles covered represent such oldfashioned duties as the speaker suggested. There may still be quite little tramping back and forth and around in connection with cooking, serving the table, making the beds. looking after the children, etc. But if there has been the revolution in housework that we have heard so much talk about, most of the miles should be charged up to answering the tele- phone and the door bell and tinkering with the labor saving machinery.

L'ENFANT AND THE AUTO
 MOBILE
(Hartford Courant)


 When, in spite of that "untoward disposition which had caused General Washington so many diff rificulties, Major Pierre Charles l. Enfant finally completed the plans for the city of Washington, he an- nounced that 1t was designed on such "a scale as to leave room for that aggrandiZement and embel- lishment which the increase of the wealth of the nation will permit 1t to pursue at any period, however remote" And 50. in most respects, it was. Unhappily for the abso- lute truth of the prediction, how ever, L'Enfant had neglected to consider the possibility that an endless stream of horseless carri- ages might some day fill the broad avenues he had laid out. The auto- mobile threatens to force serious change in L'Enfant's plans.
 Tn completing the original pro- ject of erecting official buildings between the Capitol and the White House on the south side of Penn sylvania avenue, the government found that 1t would have to find parking space for at least 10000 Of its employees automobiles. Where. no one as yet knows. The streets are overcrowded, as 1t is. Esthetic reasons forbid the use of the parks. Subterranean parking ic impracti- cal because of the swampiness of the ground. Unless 1t can devise some method of suspending the cars in the cmpyrean, 1t seems evident that the government will have to make sufficiefit changes In L'Enfant's plans to provide for parking space.

The recent meeting of the Tr-State Anti Pollution commission certainly revealed that pollution of the Sound and tributary waters has progressed to state where immediate attention is demanded. This body, which is purely voluntary one, ought to be con- graduated for the work that it is undertak- ing We hope that when our legislative body is in session two years hence 1t will follow the recommendations of the board just as it does those of our own state water commission. We were interested in report to the Tr-State commission in which sug- gested boundaries were outlined for the pro- posed treaty In Connecticut the tr-state pact will extend as far as East Haven. hat gives good indication of the progress that pollution is making along the Connecticut shores. We can only conclude from this viewpoint that there are evidences of ex- treme pollution of the Sound and tributary waters all through the Fairfield and New Haven county beaches up to and just beyond New Haven. Most of us have known for years that the Connecticut shore line was fast becoming contaminated. That eventually many of our popular summer resorts will
 be closed is inevitable. With this knowledge there can be no excuse for lack of action.

Cooperation Will Pay

Declining foreign trade is one of the fac tors most responsible for prolonging the business depression exactly as it was factor in bringing it on. Few of us suffl- cently understand how vital international commerce is to domestic prosperity. A de- crease of a mere" five or six per cent Tn employment and purchasing power means all the difference between good times and bad. And decline of ten or fifteen per cent might mean the difference between stability and chaos.
 The doctrine of economic and social iso- lation may have been workable in 1891 - but it is suicidal in 193l. No nation can, figuratively. remove itself to high peak and look down on the rest of the world, depending on itself alone for sustenance. Cooperation between businesses and indvid- uals has solved many of the industrial problems of the age and cooperation be- tween nations. both in commerce and Tn diplomacy, must solve those of an interna- tional character.
 The reason for the decline in foreign trade. divorced from argument and confusing details. is simple enough - foreign nations cannot buy from us unless we buy from them We must look beyond state and national boundaries toward the world horl- zon. in the knowledge that foreign trade IS one of the keys to domestic prosperity and industrial stimulation.

TODAY IS THEA ANNIVERSARY s 2geZ@
APPROVE NAVY BILL

On Aug 29, 1917, the navy de- partments estimate of $35O.0O0,000 for new destroyers to. combat the German submarine warfare was ap- proved by President Wilson.
 Under the speeding up plan each destroyer will be produced in about half the time it took before the war. That is, 1t will take from 10 to 12 months to build destroyer in- stead of from IS to 20 monahs.
 AS this bill was being approved. German submarine sank the Bel gian relief ship "Kongsli" off the coast of Norway.

The New Dry Daily

E. Kent Hubbard president of the Con- nectieut Manufacturers Association. has been quick to extract himself from position into which he Senator Frederick C. Waleott, and Professor Irving Fisher of this state were placed by recent appeal of Stanley High and group of ardent prohibtionists l hey are establishing newspaper. daily. at Washington, D. C. One of the plans of the organizer is to present paper which will 'give less spectacular treatment to crime and sex news, and more alert and courageous treatment to news affecting eco- homie sanity. industrial justice. internation- al understanding. prohibition. and world peace. ." At least that is what MT Hubbard was given to understand would be the guiding stars of the idealistc journal. Says Mir Hubbard With that broad program no citizen could disagree, but in my response to the invitation. l specifically withheld my indorsement of such news- paper unless, as I wrote to the newspaper. I know its stand on each of the subjects enumerated To find now that my ex- pressed interest in the general proposition has been avaled of to bring my name be- hind one item in the held-and that on partisan basis--is a bit unlocked for.
 :" We don't doubt but what an ln- yesteation will show that Senator Wall cott's backing was secured in like manner. He probably will repudiate his aflation with the prohibition cause upon his return from Wyoming. He can't very well do anything but that after his attack on pro- hibition last year at the republican state convention.
 The Hartford Courant, however lsn satisfied with this mere denial on the part of Mir Hubbard to affiliaton with any prohibl- ton cause. It is prompted to ask why any of the three Connecticut men whose names are being blazoned on stationary as packers of the movement should feel impelled to support a newspaper with such principles as the founders propose when there are so many outstanding daies in the country to- day. The Courant in particular cites the New York Times and the Christian Science Monitor as fitting the description of the ideal paper that Mir High and his associates demand.
 It is quite obvious that the plan of these gentlemen is to found newspaper whose each and every word will be bound round with aridity. They will not only preach prohibition to the nation they will attempt to st,np it indelibly upon our minds. And this in the face of the crime waves and gang ster killings that are traeeable directly to prohibition and its ooncomitant evils. We know that Senator Walcott will be quick to use his legislative power to demand some rnnoyossiouat artion on tho situation when congress meets in December. Isn't it enough that we have slipped and stopped through decade of prohibition without materially aiding the nation' What more can these 1, fanatics want'

We feel sure that there was no sarcasm meant in part of the Hartford Courant' s story about the imprisonment of the Kings ton brothers. The line we refer to simply said, The Kingston brothers are experts with figures and in time may be assigned to such work. ." The writer was talking about their probable occupation when they entered Wetherseld which. undoubtedly will be very shortly. There might be some chance for the prison authorities or directors to put the former stock brokers to work on plan on how the state prison may be con- dueted at profit after the Hawes-Cooper bill goes into effect prohibiting interstate .hipment of prison made goods. There's a problem.
