HARSH RULE OF LAW
(New York sunl

N2NrW OTk Gun)
 For eleven years all the members of the Gleason family used the railroad tracks in walking to and from their tome. Gleason was employed by the railroad company and rented a company owned honse situated in a triangle between two sets of tracks. There was no ac- cess to the house except by tra- versing $500 feet of the main line of the railroad.
 While Mrs Gleason was ieturn- ing from Poughkeepsie .he was killed by a locomotive which was backing up and had no light on the approaching end. Under the rail- road law Mrs Gleason was tres- passer and her husband could not recover damages for her death. The husband, being an employe of the railroad had the right to use the tracks, but the courts have held that a railroad canont give to a person not in it's employ any rights beyond those of a mere trespasser.
 Chief Judge Pound said that the application of the rule to this case seemed harsh The railroad thath leased the house to Gleason must have expected that his wife and children would use the tracks. but the Court of Appeals felt bound by decision it reached in 19O5: that case Judge Pound said had been carefully considered and fol- lowed. At that time Chief Judge Cullen and Judge Vann maintained that despite the terms of the sta ute the public might acquire by long use presumptive right to cross a railroad track at a point, that Is not street or a highway.

Stormy Years

This unsettled economic weather may last quite while. with frequent gales, many economists think. A pretty clear-headed amateur. John w. Love, writes in the Cleveland Press: From the way things look now. we shall be running from one emergency to another for, couple of years at least, maybe for decades. The old per- manencies have broken loose and melt around us. The instruments of imitation will give us respite for two years at least, if need be, but probably the administration and its economic leadership will be as busy as they are now for all the rest of the time.
 If it's anywhere near -true no one need envy those in power the next few years. whoever they may be. The one require ment for leadership now, as Love observes, is success. Any President not succeeding promptly would quickly lose - not neces- sarily his office. but his authority Congress would grab the power. Maybe we had better not pursue that line of thought any further Success for the immediate future probably depends on the proper machinery for the santrol of imitation. And that, Love says will probably be machinery for the control of prices.

tufns are not all in. but more than half of the first 1000 votes cast oppose unquali- fled war service. and large number oppose all war service. There is a tendency to be indignant about this. or alarmed. Some people think the anti-war students should be severely reprimanded at the very least. Are the young pacifists wrong? If there should be war soon. they would be the ones called upon to make the immediate sacrifices, to go forth to kill or be killed in what recent history suggests is futile combat.
 These young people are living and study ing during depression which they have been taught is an inevitable outgrowth, of the World War. They have learned how much that war cost in human life. They know how it destroyed property. They have begun to believe that responsibility for it was not confined to one group of bellig erents They see that it settled nothing and cost the victors as much as the vanquished. Why shouldn't they. being gifted with in- telligence and frankness, speak out and say they are opposed to war and the reckless nationalism that precipitates war? Benja- min Franklin has been considered wise in his remarks that there never was good war or a bad peace These rebellious youngsters believe he was right.

It's Time To Start Fighting

Connecticut is ranked as safely wet" by Mrs Charles H. Sabin, national chairman of the Womens Organization for Prohibition Reform, in recent survey of the chances for ratification of the 18th amendment re- pealer. There are 20 states in this group. which Mrs Sabn maintains, cannot help but vote for prohibition repeal. We trust that she is right, but we are not merely sat- isfed with such statement of facts. We are keenly interested in outcomes.
 For that reason we believe that the wet organizations of Connecticut need to show just as much interest and as much activity in the coming special election and state convention as the drys are doing. Take Waterbury as an example. There will be four candidates from the two senatorial districts, two representing the vets and two the drys. Each candidate must be certified to by one hundred names before the town clerk can submit the candidates name to the proper officials for balloting. The drys of Waterbury secured their names with prompttude that is encouraging to their fol- lowers.
 We don't doubt but what more than one hundred names can be secured by the vets to endorse their candidates That isn't the point. We maintain that in state as safely wet as Connecticut is said to be the wet groups should not wait for their dry oppon- ents to show them the way. We expect to see almost unanimous wet delegation elect cd on June 20, but it will not be done by sitting back and letting the voters do it. Just as at local or state or national cleo ton the political factions must interest them selves in campaigning and getting out the vote. This time that task falls upon the wet and dry factions which will be made up of members of both major political par ties.
 There are at least three active wet groups in Connecticut. May we see from now until June 20 as much interest displayed by them as by the drys. We are not overlooking the fact that women are concentrating their efforts on ratification program which will be launched Monday in New Haven with Jouett Shouse firing the first gun. Connecticut needs to show the nation, as did Rhode Island. that her action of not ratfying the 18th amendment was sincere one. We cannot help but do that if we only arouse the voters to the necessity of interesting themselves in the coming election and con- vention.

Sentiment Is Changing

s If we were asked year or more ago 1T a toll road could be built in this state, we would have answered emphatieally, no. Today we aren't so sure. It would not sur prise us if the state was forced to construct the proposed Merritt Highway along some such scheme as this. If that isn't done we doubt if the parellel route to the Boston Post road will be ready for public use inside of ten years. Even now definite route across Fairfield county is in dispute. What chance is there of building road when its route is not definite?
 Other than this the state is proceeding slowly with the purchase of rights of way in Fairfield county. Naturally that would be slow procedure. The road has been adver- tised so widely that property owners are not selling land to the state at what might be termed reasonable figures if few more dol lars can be secured. And in addition to this there are doubtless a number of property owners in the line of the proposed road who will not give up their lands unless directed to do so by the courts. And that is an ex- 'pense that must be laid at the door of the roadway eventually.
 S% IL may pc pOSSiDie to DOIIoW SumSiehs funds from such source as the Reconstruc- ton Finance Corporation. if that body re- mains intact many more months. But if the ten millions needed is secured ample secur- ity will have to be given that the money will be repaid within reasonable period. To do that it would be necessary to float bond issue through the county or else make the road toll project. We don't know how sentiment is in Fairfield county. but we'd say offhand that the toll road might appeal to more people of Connecticut than bond issue.
 By making it toll road at least those motorists who make use of the new thos:, oughfare will be the ones who pay for its construction and upkeep. And in one re- spect this is as it should be. That can't be done with all state roads. but we must not lose sight of the fact that the Merritt High way is not plain ordinary state road. but xn express route built on boulevard style. It is super road and perhaps needs to be con- sidered as an experiment demanding diff ferent type of financing than is accorded the average road built in this state.

Washington.-After the war the question was often asked: Well what won't women, be doing next?"
 The answer. as given by the 1880 census, is that the situation thus far remains unchanged.
 Women hold larger share of the jobs in 1880 than in 1920. an analysis by the federal women's bureau shows. There were 2,2O2,- 900 more of them at work. But in all that 10 years they hadn't crept in on any of the pur- suits previously held exclusively by men. They even gave up a few in postwar days. There were only 23 occupations not followed by any woman the census takers could find in 1920, and there were 30 of them in 1890. These are some of the jobs no woman has ever held in so far as the government knows: ironworker, brakeman, locomotive engineer or fireman, railroad con- ductor, fireman in a fire depart ment, soldier. sailor or marine.
 Nor in 1880 were there any women working as bus conductors, hostlers or stable hands. baggage men or railroad yArdmen-though some had such jobs 10 years be- fore.
 Do Heavy Work
 Somewhere in the country, how ever, are 188 women lumbermen, raftsmen and woodchoppers, 606 mine operatives, eight blacksmiths, seven brick masons. 1456 paper hangers, three plasterers. 3089 blast furnace and steel mill workers, IT street railroad conductors, five motormen, 289 switchmen and fiagmen; 1129 mail carriers. .13,603 postmistresses as compared with | 20.818 postmasters, 274 sheriffs, 62 marshals and constables. 19,290 actresses as compared with only 18.702 actors, 37 bootblacks, 57 cemetery keepers, 87 hunters. trap pers and guides, and 1880 under takers.
 Here are some more facts and figures about working women as of April. 1880:
 There were ss,o00, 900 men gain fully occupied {, and 10.750.000 womeIis which means only 354 men to every 100 women instead of 387 10years previously.
 The male population over 10 years old increased by IS per cent while the females increased by 20 1-2 per cent. Working women gained 25 per cent in numbers while working men gained only IS per cent. M
 The larger groups included 1.634,0 ,000 servants-6D0. 900 more than, in 1920. 1,458,000 factory op- eratives. 854.000 school teachers, 775.00O stenographers and typists. 7O6,00O ssa1eswomen and clerks in stores, TOT .000 other clerks, 646.00O farm laborers, 486. 900 bookkeepers and cashiers. 356,000 home laun- dresses. 288,000 trained nurses, 262,000 farmers, 236.000 house. keepers, 235.000 telephone oper- ators and 232,000 waitresses
 Fewer Working Girls
 The number of employed girls between 10 ands15 years dropped 40 per cent.
 Women outnumbered men in the clothing industries. silk mills, knitting mills. cigar and tobacco factories and candy factories.

A Book a Day
 by BRUCE CATION
Hanged By A
 Bell Rope

The mystery i story fan gets pretty bad, fare, most of the tlme' but once in a. while he does get a break: and. one of his bits of good fortune this month is contained m "Death Tolls the Bell" by Paul Mcclure {Soward- McCann: $2). Here is that rarity, a good detec- tive story which is puzzling, in- genious, suitably scary and written SO that a literate adult can bear to read it.
 The scene is an English country town. The village church bell starts
 ringing at 2 in the morning, ana
 when people go%to investigate they find lovely Stella Essington, movie star, dangling from the rope, neat ly and permanently hanged.
 Most of the subsequent investi- gation is carried out by one Hup- per, a gangling novelist who keeps 10 pet cats, drinks vast quantities
 of beer and believes in a personal devil. During the story Sir Apple by Frap, .financier, also gets bump
 ed off, and there's some sinister spiritualistic business to give the yarn an eerie touch. All in all, the story is eminently readable.
 Another mystery that's better |than-average is Murder Must Ad- Evertise,','p by Dorothy l.. Savers
 (Harcoiirt- Brace: $2) In this one a bright young man in an English advertising agency falls down stairs and dies. and no one but Sir Peter Whimsy suspects that his death wasn't accidental. The book is really more interesting for its picture of life in an advertising agency than for it's mystery. and the murder itself is accomplished in quite impossible way: but If you can stand Sir Peter Whimsy you'ii. find the book well worth your while.
