Uses of Reforestation

New York states new reforestation pro- gram is now ready for action. The operst- ing machinery and funds provided by a re. gently enacted law are set 10 work by the governors signature. It is program whose purposes should be considered by citizens in other states. Its sponsor says: The func- tions of these forests. to be established in every county of the state where lands suit able for the purpose can be acquired, are: The protection of our watersheds; the erea- ton of public hunting and fishing grounds; providing areas of forest and woodland ad- jaeent to communities in all parts of the state where camping and pcnicking may be en- joyed on publicly owned land; the produe- ton of timber which will help maintain our existing wood-using industries and perhaps bring back some of those industries which have left the state for lack of raw materials.
 He makes one more point. Reckoning with forests abandone dfarms and waste land will vastly improve the appearance of the state. They are all good reasons for constructive, continuing forestatlon program in any part of the country. New York IS one of the leaders in getting such program started, but other states have recognized the need and have acted on it, or will act on 1t soon, with increasing benefit

Guide Book Legends

The new edition of Baedeker's guide to Belgium has become the subject of heated controversy in that country and in partIcu- lar in the town of Aerschott. An up-to- date guide book naturally takes eognizance of the World War Tourists want to visit war scenes and want bits of history about them as well as directions as to how to get them The new Baedeker tells of the de- struction of Aersehot and ascrlbes 1t to an act of reprisal against local sharpshooters The town council of Aerschot claims that there never were any sharpshooters and that the town was destroyed by the invaders with out single shot being fired against them The council would like to have the guide book banned from the country.
 Perhaps it would take an earnest and thorough searching of records and slfung of testimony to get at the exact truth in the matter. To an outsider it looks as if the Aerschot citizens were overlooking a nice opportunity to create profitable patriotic legend at least. hand ful of brave eiti- zens holding off powerful invading force for week with sharpshooting tactics would make an increasing appeal to sentimental tourists. And who should know this better than the compilers of guide books?

THE RIGHT KIND OF HEALTH
 EXAMINATION

| From now on, declares a correspondent of | intermediate age, l wish to make it a practice having a medical examination twice a year, at least. Our family doctor is a very busy man
 and when I go to him for such an examination
 am uncertain whether I get thorough
 animation all that is necessary I have in
 mand getting printed blank which will con- tain the medical questions relating to thor
 ough physical examination and asking my phy
 scian to fill the blank out and examine me ac-
 cordingy. Can you let me know if my sug-
 seston is practical and where 1 could obtain
 such a form? am not ill so far as I know, | but from now on I wish to take such an ex-
 animation regularly for the benefit of myself
 and my family. Any suggestions you give | mo with a view to working out hte idea have will be much appreciated. (S. F. W.) | Sounds though S. P. w. has recently had | scare, doesn't it? Wonder whether some
 close friend in apparent good health suddenly proved he wasn't, whether $. P. W. has | some he doesn't like to acknowledge,
 which causes him to feel some anxiety about his health.
 | blanks forms available, though l should not | recommend any of them for the use of $. P. w. proposes to make of 1t. and even for q phy- scian l do not think such forms of any real value, unless he is very young and inex-
 pcrenced physician If s. P. W. is bound to
 have form, think he can purchase one for a nickel from American Medical Association, Chicago. III.
 When I was young and earnest I used to
 preach this periodic health examination prac- l tce for all adults thirty over. Then when I got to be about thirty-tive one day someone | took seriously. either my preaching or some other preachers and came, for an exam | inaton, although there wasn't a thing wrong with the beggar and l couldn't persuade him to say yes to any little symptom or complaint l tried 10 fit on him. It was disgusting ex- perence, and finally let him go on paying a fire of only $3 whereas the regular fee for | even life insurance examination was $5 By the time l was forty I seldom said anything
 about the importance of Tom Dick and Harry
 cluttering up the doctors office looking for
 some fool examination when there was nothing in the world the matter with 'em. At 45 began to get off sarcastic cracks about the fad and at sixty I'll probably be touring the
 country Iecturng against the deadly evil of having medical organizations when you're pretty well or not complaining.
 My advice to any man, woman or child IS to have health examination ONLY when you suspect there is something wrong with your health, and then have your own physician, your family physician. one who knows soine- thing about you or your history make the ex- animation and give whatever advice he thinks you need.

DANGEROUS REMEDIES
(New York Herald -Tribune)

(NeW York Herald-Tribune)
 In reporting favorably the two bills designed to protect American ship owners from cruise competi- ton the house merchant marine committee is taking big risk of doing lot more damage than good to the American merchant marine. The first bill would em- power the shipping board to with hold clearance papers from any foreign vessel 1t decides to be of- fering "unwarranted and excessive competition to an American ship in a particular trade. Specifically, the purpose is to protect the Ward line from the Cunard lines recent practice of putting It's trans-At- lantic tonnage into the winter run to Havana. The Ward line cannot answer by putting it's own tonnage on the Atlantic run in summer, and its resultant situation Is ad- mittcdly difficult one. But the loose provision here advanced to remedy 1t is so capable of abuse and can lead so easily to compli- cations and reprisals that it con- stitutes extremely dangerous med- icine.

No Increases Wanted

Chairman Thomas H. Beck of the State Board of Fisheries and Game announced this week that the next session of the Legislature will be asked to sanction S2 increase Tn hunting licenses. All members of the Far field County Fish and Game Protective As socation were asked to support the pro- posal by Commissioner Beck this week. We wonder if the move will be as unpopular in Fairfield county as it IS sure to prove in other counties of the state. he Democrat has consistently approved of the policies that the late John w. Ttcomb laid down in administering the affairs of the State Board of Fisheries and Game, but we do not be- lieve that increases in hunting license fees are popular at this writing.
 It is no time to be raising the taxes for those .portsmen who enjoy day in the open with a gun. The increase in the board revenue may be necessary to carry on the work of keeping our woods and streams stocked with game and fish, but we feel that the additional money should come from other sources than the hunters. A hunting license costs enough now as it is withou. adding to the fee We realize full we'll the benefits that man or WOm Al can secure by possessing himself or herself of such license, but after all it is the duty of the state to conserve its natural assets for the use of mankind.
 We can recall the fight that various game and fish clubs in the state made when the combination fishing and hunting license was advocated. It caused considerable enmty be,ween the state board which agitated for il, and sportsmen throughout the state We think tha it was responsible for much of the ill feeling that we have so often heard man fested towards the late MT Titcomb. How ever, it enabled his department to tackle difficult problems that finances had hither- to deferred We presume that the board now wishes to broaden it's scope still further. That is praiseworthy. but we don't think that the times are suspicious for $2 in crease in hunting licenses. It would prob ably have the desired effect of keeping many hunters at home, but then again it might make others deliberately break the law. We would like to see a thorough discussion of the same before the legislature gets any reso- lutons seeking change in the present fees.

so, it Is only less indefensible than it was before. The American trav- eler is simply not going to stand for this sort of restriction upon hi; freedom of choice; and if Ameri- can shipping interests try to make him Go so they will end only by bringing into disrepute our while system of carefully developed aids to the merchant marine and for feiting the public support which they so much need. This is the real risk which the authors of tins legislation are running.
 There is one real and perfectly useless discrimination under which American competitors for the cruise traffic are lbaoring. That Is the absurd way in which the pro hibition laws are enforced. Amer ican ships ought to enjoy precisely the same exemption from the pro hibition laws as foreign ships en- joy, and to grant it to them would not strain the eighteenth amend- ment. The failure to do SO. how ever, cannot be compensated for by ill-considered efforts to make it up to the ship owners in other and more questionable ways.

Why fried ;odos SO universally advised against? (E k.)
 Answer-Arcady yet? Prejudice. Such foods carry the fats in which they are cooked, and some persons may not need so much fat. Other persons do need the fat So fried foods are not objectiona ble regardless. Fried foods are rather advisable for some persons with gastric or duodenal ulcer for example.

wEsTPORT AND COMPO BEACH
(Bridgepart Telegram)

Westport has issued call for a special town meeting to consider among other things, the following:
 ITO take such action aJ the meeting shall deem proper with reference to granting permission to the bona-fide residents of the towns of Wilton and Weston to use Com DO Beach and to instruct the se- lectmen with reference to the in- suance of cards or permits for that purpose"
 This marks new departure for Connecticut. It is the first time that any town has proposed to limit the use of public park to it's own citizens, with special privil- eges to the citizens of two of the other 168 towns and cities of the state.
 Last summer Westport restricted the use of it's town bathing beach to the local inhabitants. Almost im- mediately the citizens of nearby Weston inaugurated a boycott of Westport's stores. Since Weston has no stores of It's own (except at Georgetown) this was a serious blow to Westport's merchants who began to agitate for a change in policy. The resolution which Is to be discussed at the forthcoming town meeting reflects the desire of the local merchants to placard the residents of Westport's sub urbs."
 Whether or not such a dlscrlmin- atory orinance will stand In the courts is an interesting question. Perhaps some hardy outsider will care to test 1t in the courts. If 1t is upheld, other towns may follow suit. The net result will be an enormously increased pressure for state parks. open to all corners. Westport's attitude toward the state-owned beach on Sherwood's island is, We won't use it and shall not" Now that Westport intends to close it's town-owned beach save to the favored few. the aftern'th will be an insistence upon the "- ing of Sherwood'1 island pal . perhaps, after all, the move posed is best in the long run. ','ie rest of the state ought to be willing to leave Compo to the Westporters, if Sherwood island is opened to the public.

Sherwood Island Reappears

Probably when Robert M. Ross of New Haven, secretary of the Connecticut State Park and Forestry Association told the Easton Grange that the state park at Sher- wood Island should be opened to the pubic be had not heard the latest news from that section of the state. It has developed that Compo Beach, which is in Westport, may become forbidden territory to all save bona fide residents of Westport and neighboring Wilton and Weston. The matter of re- stricting the beach is to be discussed at town meeting tonight. It's outcome should be interesting The Bridgeport Telegram questions the right of any community to limit it's public parks to merely citizens of the community in which it is located. So will everybody else in the state. Such an attempt at exclusion is never going to stand in any court in the land.
 Last year Westpor tried to close its town bathing beach to all save Westport residents but was forced to moderate it's attitude when residents of Weston boycotted Westport stores which they were accustomed to pat ronizc It didn't take the merchants iong to organize and protest such determination. The same thing might we'll happen again, but if Westport wants to keep Compo Beach for itself. why the rest of the state, especially Fairfield county, won't mlnd, provided it will not attempt at the same time to prevent the general public using Sherwood Island on which there IS a per fectly good state park with seashore front age going to waste.
 It was in behalf of this park that MT Poss spoke this week. He declared that there are seven perfectly good reasons why Sherwood Island should be thrown open to public use They arc as follows: he island is suitably located: it has been state owned for seventeen years (that IS the sec- ton of it where the park IS sltuated); 1t includes d beach one-haf mile in length; it is accessible from all parts of Fairfield county; 1t has water free from eontamlna- ton; the cost of improving the land would be less than securing and improving an en- trely different site: the people of Falrfield and Litchfield counties need state shore park.
 Mir Ross realizes as do most of us that the delay in development of the Sherwood ls- land tract is due to political reasons How ever, it was encouraging to sec the reaction of public opinion to the legislative attempt to appropriate three-quarters of million dollars last year for d new shore park Tn Fairfield county. The steal was squelched solely through the weight of public opinion which was aroused to the point of objection by barrage of publicity that those inter- ested in removing Sherwood Island from the view of the public never anticipated. We hope that Mir Ross and his associates will be able to secure development of this island park With public aid they should be able to get action.

loans is somewhat complicated, but it seems that Hyde got off to bad start when he chose to rattle what were, after all, pretty old bones. Everyone knew what was going on at the time. The republicans were taking control of congress, eager to plaster the democratic administra- tion. But there was nary a squawk, it appears, until Hyde recently be- gan to make those speeches.
 Not at all content with calling Hyde q turnip-head, Senator Glass has marshaled much evidence, in cluding the wording of the Liberty Bond acts. Rather impressive Is a letter to Glass from Secretary of the Treasury Mellon. Hyde's cab inet comrade, pointing out that the treasury was empowered by con- gress to make loans until termina- tion of the war with Germany. that it was provided that the date of termination of war should be fixed by presidential proclamation and that President Harding fixed the date as July 2, 1921, when the joint congressional resolution terminal ing the state of war was approved.
