France Wins Again

The Davis Cup. emblematic of supremacy on the tennis court, will remain in France one more year by virtue of its splendid de- fense of the trophy. For the last few years the challenge of the United States has been Our younger players have proved them- selves capable of international competition such as the Davis Cup matches demand. But for some reason or other they have not been able to prove successful in their quest. Last year they did not even get to the ehal- lsnge round, being defeated by Great Britain in what was the real surprise of the year.
 Outstanding in this years matches was the remarkable playing of Jean Borotra and Winner Allison. Borotra asked to be ex- sused from playing in the singles on the ground that he was too old for the stern competition. His plea was overruled by French tennis authorities and he single handed saved the day for France. It was his defeat of Winner Allison. the fiery Texan. Sunday that gave France its win ming margin. It mattered little which way the Cochet- Vines match ended once Borotra had won. It cimaxed marvellous career for Borotra who undoubtedly will retire now.
 But Allison must share in the disposition of laurels. He was not considered as singles player when he made the trip to {. Europe for the matches. Frank Shields dis appointing showing in the last round matches with the German players made it necessary to bench him and substitus Ali son: It was just what Allison needed to put him on bis mettle. He started strongly against Henri Cochet in the second of the first days matches only to find probably the worlds greatest tennis player in bis best form. Allison dominated the play in the doubles match on Saturday when he and Van Ryn were returned the victors.
 ,. tAgainst Borotfa he flashed the same sort of tennis. If there need to be any excuses for his losing the match after leading Bor- oifa in sets from the very beginning per. hsps we are allowed to blame it on the poor decisions that from all wire reports were returned against him. lt may be un- sportsmaniike 10 alibi for Allison but when a. man believes that he has just won what night amount to the greatest victory of 1is career and then realizes that a decision has perhaps cost him this achievement he is sbt 10 do jest what Allison did, lose both interest and heart.

Last week discussing the activity of the Mouquin family in preparing for the end of prohibition in this nation and the re- turn of liquor sales we mentioned the fact that they were busily engaged in buying up stocks of light wines in France at bargain prices that now prevail.

Revision of timber land taxes is held imperative by President Hoover's Timber Conservation Board in a report just sub- mitted. Incidentally in asking for this the board recognizes the New York state pro- gram of reforestation in which Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt r.ayed such an im- portant part. The political angle enters at this juncture as Governor Toosevelt's plans for gigantic reforestation plan on na- tional scale were roundly ridieuled by Sec retary of Agriculture Hyde. That plan was part of his nomination acceptance speech delivered at the national convention in Chicago. However. Secretary Hydes criti- eism was too pointedly partisan to have much weight And the democratic presiden- tial candidate has too many supporters, both democratic and republican. in any re- forestation movement to find Secretary Hyde's views on the subjects imperilling his career. The recommendations of the Timber Conservation Board will no douhk bs heed

A Taxpayer's Lobby

It has often been complained that every interest and cause is represented by a. lobby in Washington at one time or another ex- cept those of Mir Taxpayer. There is now an organization whose purpose it is to lobby for him and to fight waste and ex- travagance in government expenditures. Dis tinguished men from the major political parties. from the army, the navy and ei- vilian life, are working together to make the national economy league effective. Their first goal will be to reduce excessive pay ments to war veterans for disabilities not re- eeived during the war and not in any way connected with their war service. This campaign. if successful. is expected to pare off more than S45o,000,000 from the na- tional expenditure for veterans relief. Af- ter that there will be other specific economics to achieve.
 In letter to the men assembled to or ganize the league. President Hoover wrote:
 There is great need for nationwide and non- partisan organization designed to give persistent attention to keeping down XOVeLHHEHtdl eAPeIluiluLto' Ac SuDJeNS is too complicated to be dealt with by spor- adic groups in temporary emergencies. The pressures upon governments to spend money are eeaseless. and no inter mittent protests will stem the tide. Swarms of Hobbies are organized behind every form of expenditure. and no organized group ever defends mem- bers of Congress who withstand their pres: sures Ceaseless vigilance alone can cope with them. Every branch of government activity should be scrutniZed, and of state and city governments as well as federal"
 A similar movement has been started by the United States Chamber of Commerce. which reminds it's members that they can do good deal toward reducing the cost of government and the level of taxes by keep- ing an eye on those matters within their states, and cities. It is heartening move ment which should be continued after the present emergency is over. If waste and ex- travagance can be eliminated from city. state and national governments, very few essential services will be lost because of economy.

Once again Major James A. Shanley of New Haven will seek the third district con- gressional seat. Two years ago he was the democratic candidate opposing Representa- tive John o. Tilson. but was defeated. This year the republicans will be forced to seek another candidate than Colonel Tilson. as he has just announced his retirement from Congress Incidentally the candidate who is elected in November will doubtless attend the short session of Congress in December. as Representative Tilson wishes his retire. ment to become effective as soon as possible. Two years ago Rep. Goss of this city was elected to the short session and also to full term. We wouldn't be surprised to see the democrats capture the third district this, fall.

MIR TUNNEY IN POLITICS
.(Hartford courant)

Why politicians should discern in MT James Joseph Tunney the of a candidate for public office is not hard to understand. Already known to all the voters of the state he has a long start on most candidates, who ordinarily must spend considerable time get ting acquainted" The voters know MT Tunney, if he does not know all of them. Furthermore, he is well enough off to stand the financial burden of a campaign and in year of depression means are exception ally useful in a candidate. Finally. MT Tunney is a personable young chap with both leisure and inclina- tion for politics. and the culture that he has acquired since his re- tirement from the ring indicates that he is one who learns quickly.
 With such qualifications, he is obvious timber in 8 democracy. Once started, he may go far, but the desire of some in the democra- tic party to start him at the bot tom of the ladder has much to commend it. The reluctance of vet erans to make way for a newcomer lacking in any previous experience is not entirely personal. It also is based on the sound belief that poli- tics is something that requires as stern an apprenticeship as, say, box ing. With his background, MT Tun- ney can readily understand that no boxer without any fighting exper- fence whatever would likely to be scheduled for final bout. On the contrary, he would come up through preliminary matches until his skill demonstrated that he de- served better place.
 Happily, Mir Tunney has always indicated that he is a modest fell low. not backward, perhaps. but not pushing, either. His own judg- ment probably tells him that he is not yet seasoned enough for the hall of congress, although he might reasonably aspire to seat in the general assembly,. Should he land there and stick for a year or two, other things might come natural ly.

 Your to-day's paper has short editorial quoting William M. Cit- |yyon. as saying there are too many money parasites and social lizards in our government.

I can also add that I have had plen- ty of business at the sessions of the Connecticut legislature since 1910. During all the time, never saw a more scrappier democrat than Citron of Middletown. He is a credit and honor to that party. and I for one wish I can have the op- portunity of voting for him.
 The city live in is close to Mid- dletown, and we know what is go- ing on there. You can take 1t for me that if Meriden democrats had put up such men as him, a good many republicans like myself would have voted for such men. Unfortunately they haven't and so we have stuck by republicans to our sorrow, but with one exception, and that is our Mayor, MT Malo- ney, who like this man is a scrap per. Both ought to be in Washing ton and this state would know that it had some one there. know both of them by watching their work, and wish there were more like them.

SOISSONS TAKEN

On August 2, 1918, victorious French troops occupied Soissons. which had been evacuated during the preceding night. The German army corps which had been operat- ing in the Marne salient was re- ported retreating rapidly.
 American and French regiments advanced five miles north of Fere- en-Tarenois and French outposts were established in the deserted town of Ville-en-Tardenois.
 German losses during the battle which began as their fifth offensive on July IS and ended in their most decisive defeat in years. were esti- mated at more than 250,O00 men by allied observers.
 The balance of power on the western front had definitely swung to the allies, and neither Germany nor her allies was on the offensive on any active front.

BREATHING TO HELP THE CIRCULATION

The large veins in the thorax and abdomen hold perhaps pint of blood. The piood m these veins is shut off from that in the veins of the legs by valves, likewise from the veins of the arms and the veins of the neck and head the valves preventing backfow of the blood after it has come through the veins to the great veins in the thorax and abdomen.
 Besides valves, a pump must have porvlsion for lowering pressure upon the nuld 10 pc pumped for increasing pressure, suction, and the pressure within the thorax is lowered when you draw in breath.
 With this lowering of intrathoracic pressure during the act of inspiration there is suction more blood is drawn into them from the blood in the veins in the limbs, head and neck. Not only that, but there is also a suction Which tends to draw the blood from the abdominal veins into the thoracic veins and the right side of the heart. This effect is aided by the in- crease of pressure within the abdomen by the downward push of the diaphragm in the act of inspiration or drawing in air

AUTOMOBILES IN VENICE

The recent announcement of the opening = or, perhaps, in keeping with the spirit of modern Italy, it was an unveiling - of the new bridge that connects Ven- ice with the mainland, and of the new garage that is to house the automobiles that from the main. land will invade the sanctity of the ancient city of water, is sure to increase the romantic liquid of the Grand Canal by a few tears. There have been rumors from time to time that such and such an enterprising American was about to offer St Marks the blasphemy of canoe; there have been mu- nicipal uproars - settled we are glad to say we know not how - when certain low commercial fel- lows were about to force the gon- dolieri to raise their voices in com petition with the putt-putt of mo- torboats. But these anachronisms and barbarities are mild and wat cry compared to the invasion of land going contraptions with
 Tn the good old days before the ardent progressivism- of Musolini and the dreadful inventions of Henry Ford 1t was a matter of some wonder to Venetians to see upon their few and narrow streets any vehicle as large as a wheel borrow. The good old days are gone. The glories of Venice. dwindling since Napoieonic times. are now fatally, irrevocably doomed. This first step, this first comparatively harmless garage on the outskirts of the city, will lead to others. Of the cars brought to Venice a certain number will die there and will require burial. and lack of space will hurl them into the canals. which, eventually. quite choked with decayins automotive
 matter. will solidify into boule- wards and one-way streets.
 The prospect. however distant, is melancholy.
