Consumers Must Band

There is much talk these days of codes and fair business practices. In the midst of i: all Mrs Franklin D. Roosevelt throws few words of advice and at the same time caution. We urge all who can do SO to heed them. She points out that at this point it is time for consumers to get together and ally themselves for the purpose of preventing prices reaching exorbitant levels. We are all willing to grant an increase in general price levels. It goes hand in hand with higher wages and salaries. but there might be bit of gouging.
 As Mrs Roosevelt puts it: Consumers must learn to defend themselves against too sudden and too high rise in prices of the things they buy. Prices have got to go up, but not too soon or too much. and on some things there is no reason or justification for any increase in prices Purchasers can best protect themselves by dealing with those vendors who do not want to increase their prices beyond the real difference occasioned by increased costs of production, and reporting those who do if upon inquiry and investiga tion. they find they are being imposed upon
 We don't think that public opinion needs much arousing. but it is refreshing to note that the Presidents wife is as aware of the fact that we mortals are heir to many ills which we often exhibit in our daily business endeavors. At time like the present there is need for everyone to do his and her share of restoring equilibrium in the nation and the world. That isn't possible if price goug ing is to be indulged in. Of course there is no real reason to say that such tactics will be tried, but being warned ahead of time should prepare us for the worst.

Fabius Smiles

Toward the latter part of the nineteenth century good many political thinkers be- gan to call themselves Socialists mean ing people who thought in terms of society rather than in terms of the individual. There were plain and fancy socialists. social demo- crats. Christian socialists and others-not to mention that variety later kown as Parlor socialists who talked batter of their own which came to nothing at any attempt to translate it into action.
 Among these stood out the group which organized the Fabian Society. These took their name from that famous Roman.

Italian engineers have just accomplished great feat. They harnessed the energy of series of geyses in the Livorno borax regions and the electric power that is produced is running l60-miIe railway. The road runs between Rome and Florence. While Italy has been making great strides of recent years in identification of railways she never before counted on Mother Nature helping her m this task. The three geysers that are being utilized develop 10000 kilowatts of energy. The scheme is not new in Italy. but it is the first time that trains have ever been propelled by power generated by steam lakes. In nor. thern California some years ago geysers were harnessed to furnish electricity to light cities and to-day are still running dynamos. San Francisco may soon be included in this ser- vice. Man can always find in nature many things that are simply awaiting adaptation.

THE GOVERNORS STEP WISE
lHartford. Tinie..sl

Governor Cross, desire to avoid a special session of the legislature is understandable and commendable.
 A governor may call a special session, but he can neither limit the matters which 1t may consider nor can he terminate the session unless the two houses should be in disfl- agreement about adjournment.
 A special session of the 1egisla- ture would have all, the powers. for evil and for good, of a regular ses- sion. There would be no way of the proposals submitted nor to prevent hteir consideration. short of the wishes of the legisia- ture itself. With the two houses divided, and republican leadership desirous of. blocking the governor rather than helping him the citi- zens would have little reason for optimism about special session. To call one might easily be to open veritable. Pandoran box of trou- bles, lG@s
 Governor Cross therefore is wise in deciding to avoid calling a ses- sion if possible.
 There Is general tendency to demand the enactment of Q law to cover some situation, when prevail ing statutes furnish sufficient rem edy if they are carefully enough studied. @
 The question in the present in- stance Is whether towns can avail themselves of federal aid without legislative authorization.
 opinion Is divided. One author ity says yes,s another no. However, the authority by which then state naturally would be guided is the attorney general. It is right and proper that the governor should. turn to him.

The proposed Palisades Parkway, extend- ing from the west end of the Washington Bridge over the Hudson river to the New York New Jersey state line. is not new idea according to information just given out. It was first suggested by the Regional Plan As sociation of New York but for good reasons was not highly publiezed. It was felt that more could be accomplished by saying little about it than by announcing some such scheme which immediately, would have caused land values in the region through which the boulevard will pass to soar to unreasonable figures. The group has acquired 40 per cent of the necessary land and John D. Rockefel- Ter, Jr, has donated 40 per cent more. That leaves just 20 per cent for the commission to obtain and public opinion will doubtless pre- vent any attempts at prohteering by owners of the remaining land. People not entirely fa- miliar with New York geography wonder how the New Jersey state line can be north of New York city on the west side of the Hud- son. However. look at map shows that New Jersey euends up the Hudson for some few miles. In fact. considerable portion of Pennsylvania is north of New York city. But to get back to the Palisades Parkway. It should be beautiful road and one that will add to the list of credtable performances of the Regional Planning Association.

Cupid Knows No Rules

In reporting an attempted middle western holdup the other day. the newspapers incl dentally cast revealing sidelight on the ways of Cupid in time of war-- It all hap pened when three men tried to rob Gin cinnati restaurant. An l8-year-old waitress grabbed pictol, killed one robber and routed the other two; and the sidelight on Cupid's activities came when it was revealed that this girl had been sure-enough war baby" Her father was German soldier and her mother Belgian girl, and they were married near Antwerp in 1914.
 Now 1914 was not time when Ger mans and Belgians were getting on well to- gether. That matchless host in field gray was pouring across the Belgian plain like an irresistible flood, seemingly proving that might is the only right. Belgian sover- eighty had almost vanished. Cities and towns were ruled by German officers Civil ians had been executed by firing squads. Thousands of people had fled from their homes.
 The age e-old tragedy of invasion was being .e-enaeted. and out of it was arising that stream of "atrocity" literature which was to help SO greatly in creating d war spirit in England and America. In the history books, that scene is painted in solid blacks. But apparently, to some of the people on the spot. it wasn't that way at all. Appar- ently there were young German soldiers to whom the Belgian girls looked like desirable companions. and not like the outeast daugh- ters of bitter enemies; and there were Bel gian girls who could find among the con- querors handsome and glamorous boys who could make first-rate husbands.
 We never heard much about those TO- mances. But we might have known they were taking place. They are as old as war. Even when Mars is running the whole show. Cupid is bound to be busy on the sdelines Invasions are great tragedies. and the thudding of siege guns drowns out many cries of anguish who make their own arrangements about such things Young love can leap boundaries of hatred, conquest and war. It was so when Alexander marched into Asia and it is so today. All the wars in the world can't stop youth from going ahead with its romance.

good of the individual could only be ob- tained by considering the good of his neigh bor and of society. The bargain of buying the sweatshop garment. for instance. was no true bargain. It might come back in epidemic At the least it was bought at the cost of self-respeet. Many curious doc trines have at times or other been labeled Socialism. What the Fabians were after was a cooperative commonwealth based on the Golden Rule.
 Walter Crane. the artist was one of them Stopford Brooke. the great Unitarian preacher; Dr F. J. Furnivall. the philolo- gst who not only wrote about Chaucer and Shakespeare but introduced seulls into English rowing matches. Frances Willard. American worker for temperance belonged. George Bernard Shaw. still active in the worlds busy midst. The Fabians were in no hurry but they were glad when one small move was made anywhere in the world in favor of giving the under man his chance. Among their essays of quarter century ago may be found the prophecy that unemployment will devour us if we do not conquer it. We wonder now. as America makes the deliber- ate and organized effort to stabilize employ ment to give every man his chance. whether Fabius. their patron, is not smiling in his Roman sleep.

Illiterates In Toronto

Toronto. Canada. whose population is 63l.207. is shocked by the report of the Dominion Census Bureau that there are in the city 236 youngsters between the ages of 10 and l9 who cannot read or write The chairman of the board of education cannot see any way of explaining it unless the Hitter ates have slipped in from countries where education is not compulsory. or are so low grade mentally that they cannot learn.
 The consternation of this Canadian city will interest any city of its class in the United States. The chances are that our cities of corresponding population would congratulate themselves on any such record. Educational conditions in our cities are im- proving rapidly, especially since the tighten ing of immigration restrictions. Yet in the big eenters of population and in remote rural and mountainous regions it is hard struggle.

A Book a Day by BRUCE CATION
Much Good Reading In This Big Book

One of the brighter spots of the summer publishing season is to be found in An American Omnibus,' fat book of 1900 pages which contains enough first-rate reading matter to satisfy the most glut- tonous reader-and variety enough to hold the most finicky.
 There's a little bit of everything in this book or. rather q good deal of everything. . There's Booth Tarkington's Alice Adams" for example, com plete. There's Autumn" by Rob- ert Nathan, and "The Killer" by Stewart Edward White. There's a flock of first-rate short stories such yarns as Big Blond" by Dorothy Parker, Champion" by Ring Lardner, "The Killers" by Ernest Hemingway and Death In the Woods" by Sherwood Anderson to name only a very few.
 There are poems by Carl Sand burg, stephen Vincent Benet. Rob- insOn Jeffers, Elinor Wylie, Edna St. Vincent Millay. Archibald Mac Leish and practically every other modern American poet worth read ing. There are selections from Frederick Lewis Aliens "Only Yesteday," and there's Edwin Jus tus Mayors play, Children of Darkness"
 Best of all, to my notion, is "Archy and Mehitabel," by Don Marquis. that amusing collection of verse. free and otherwise, which a companionable cockroach once tapped out on MT. Marquis type writer.
 All in all, this omnibus is some thing pretty special and it's abun- dantIy worth the $2.75 which Doubleday, Doran. and Co., the publishers. are asking for it.

Here's Work For You

It's quite an extensive program of road building and repairing that Highway Com- missioner Macdonald is contemplating. And also we mustn't lose sight of the fact that it s a trife expensive. But roads seem to come high in these days. They cost lot to build and they cost almost as much to maintain. That's why more and more legislators are coming to the opinion that roads ought to be paid for simply by those who travel on them. That was the way our forefathers hg- ured it out; perhaps after all it wasn't s, far from correct.
 At that rate we would return to the toll road and bridge era. It may appeal like re- trogresson to some people. but to others it's progress In his latest program in which some l40 miles of highway will be built or improved, Commissioner Macdonald is seek ing almost $2.000.000 from the federal gov- ernment as its 30 per cent share of the cost of financing the new project. The state. we presume. will pay the remainder of the high way cost That means that the total cost of the contemplated work will run between six and seven millions. Quite an outlay for state forced to borrow to pay its bills
 Nobody IS more desirous of having Con- neeticut maintain it's policy of good roads than we are. but it does seem as if there must be a point beyond which state may not yen ture. There have been all sorts of com plants of recent years about disposition of federal funds to states for federal-aid roads, the main complaint being that states turning over the largest taxes to Uncle Sam usually getting the smallest share of the road fund. New England counts heavily on tourist trade to some extent and Connecticut naturally shares in thH. but if this trade were taken away it would not be such shock to us as perhaps our northern neighbors All of whie!, makes us wonder if some one of these days we musn't call halt on roadway ex- penditures that demand heavy taxes on mo- tOrists who often don't use the roads for which they pay proportionate cost It's merely a bit of an idea. but some day it may grow tremendously large and important
