Our Canadian Fence

A newspaper writer who has been syndi- eating little stories illustrating the thriftless- ness of our government, and on the whole doing useful job. slips bit in one of his latest installments. He complains that dusting off the boundary line between the United States and Canada. keeping it free of trees, shrubbery and so on, and making it stay where it belongs is costing American taxpayers about $80 day. and next year may cost $l20 day.
 The cost really doesn't look so big, when you consider the distance from the Atlantic to the Pacific at the forty eighth parallel or thereabout not counting the Great Lakes waterway stretch, and when you bear in mind the importance of national boundaries. Good fences make good neighbors' as Robert Frost says in one of his New Eng land poems We have got into trouble fre- quently with our northern neighbors. in these difficult prohibition years, over the pre- else location of the 12-mie water line. There arc countless occasions when uncertainty regarding our-land boundary might arouse an international dispute. It is worth while to walk the line" and keep the invisible fences iii order.

Push St. Lawrence Seaway

The St. Lawrence seaway treaty stands good chance of being ratified at an carly date. The other day. by vote of IA to 2. the foreign relations committee of the Senate put it on the calendar for action at the present session of Congress. The two members who opposed it were Senators Wagner of New York and Lewis of Illinois.
 According to the Chicago Daily News. sthe two men represent the objections of small circles of selfish citizens in the nation s two greatest cities. New York opposition is based on the fear that the St. Lawrence Seaway will deprive the Empire State ot traffic and power. The Illinois object ors complain that the treaty has not allowed diversion of enough water from Lake Michigan to make the Lakes-to-Gulf waterway navigable.
 Impartial and competent engineers have declared both these fears groundless. Fur thermore. the advantages of the proposed seaway are too numerous to give way to merely selfish objections. The rest of the county. and many citizens in the two centers of loudest protest. approve the St. Lawrence seaway and want it pushed to completion.

enee. Is true parslIell The Nszi party now in power. with authority concentrated in the hands of one man. is largely the same crowd and represents largely the same ideals as the party which started the World War. Its spirit is that of the Junkers who were eager to defy the world. It has reused the nation to a keen sense of it's wrongs. real and imaginary. It attracts violent ele- ments from many sources, nearly all re- aetionsry.
 It breaches the same exaggerated national- ism that Kaiser Wilhelm preached-a jingo- ism from which many nations suffer today It has as its head, with absolute power given him for four years, a man more dangerous than the old Kaiser, an agitator and dema- gogue who has never before held any public or administrative office. His policy is un- certain. bis action unpredictable.
 Is it the calm before the storm? Is Ger many going to become again the center of European embodiment Or is the real Ger many still capable of action to check this insanity and help build a new Europe after the pattern not of Hitler, but of Stresemann3 That would be Europe based not on hatred. but on mutual understanding and tolerance.

An Uncertain Period

It was slightly amusing to read the enter | taining arguments that were offered by re- publicans in the Senate this week when that body voted to reject an unfavorable report on two bills affecting public utilities. Due to united stand by the eighteen democratic senators the measures were held in abeyance as the House had earlier in the session voted to uphold the committee report and reject them. Senator Howard Aeorn, the minority leader. was about the only republi- can who dared to come to the defense of the unfavorabe report, while an avalanche of criticism was leveled at it by any number of democratic senators.
 Among other things Senator Alcofn de- clared that The only thing the commission will do will be to create period of un- certainty for two years when companies are facing serious economic situation. If the inference from the bill is that an investiga- ton of the companies Is needed, it will hurt the situation. The bill has no merit. -" The bill in question was one calling for creation of commission to investigate the operation of companies under existing stat utes. Tbe other bill for which the demo- crats voted was that empowering the public utilities commission to initiate hearings on rates and services. Now the consumer is re- quired to do this and at his own expense.
 The democrats in voting for these two bills did so as matter of principle. Cover nor Cross stressed the need of both in his inaugural address. Democratic platforms have insisted on reforms in the public utili- ties laws. It is one thing to which the dem- ocrats of the Senate can point with credit. They refused to alter their stand. It is high time, indeed that some such attitude was taken in this state. Nobody is accusing the public utilities of anything more than tendency to show too much fright when there is mention of an investigation. Con- panies which have been granted so many rights, such as the use of our public waters, should not complain.
 Senator Alcorn failed to place much faith in commissions, he said, in scorning creation of one to investigate public utilities. yet he is perfectly willing that the present public utilities commission continue along its present course of action without being able to take advantage of any examples of unfair rates. Republican legislators always have defended the public utilities comms- sion with its wings clipped and still do, but after the minority leaders remarks about the ineffieaey of commissions we're won- dering if perhaps just particular commls- sions are not desired.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS HydrODhObia- PhObia

Yesterday my nine year old son was bitten by n dog. The skin was broken and applied Should have taken him to a doctor? In the event that the dog should ever go mad would my son be affected? Would it be tOo late to have the bite burned out now? (Mrs IL. Ill. M)
 Answer--You did all I'd do if 1t were my son. Unless the animal has rabies at the time of the attack the person bitch has nothing to worry about. I think an immediate application of tincture of iodin Cor even mercurochrOme) to a dog bite is sufficient protection against any contingency in any case. The cauterizing of such an injury is, in my opinion. barbarism and nothing more.
 Beware the Spray
 Last spring my year old son came home from school one day and said, 'Mothcr, a boy cougled in my face, and he is home now with whooping cough. The inevitable happened - Robert came down with the disease apd so did his younger brother. So please do what you can 0 make people understand tine importance of covering sncezes and coughs with handkcr- chief or hand (Mrs. M. Al
 Answer--If could conscentiously hand out the conventional advice about sneeze and cough spray it might be done. but have to warn against polite conversational spray at the same time, for believe that is tho chief mode of infection, and people generally resent being told that any such hazard exists. The only difference between an uncovered snccze, is that the spray of the latter does not carry so far.

Earl Derr Biggers

No character of modern mystery fiction has taken such hold on the popular imag- ination as has Charlie Chan, the genial Chinese detective of Earl Derr Biggers. The announcement of Biggers' death this week. therefore, comes as distinct shock to his many readers and admirers. Just as Sher- lock Holmes will forever be linked with Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, so will Charlie Chan and his creator. Earl Derr Bggers, re- main synonomous. Beyond the fact that both were detectives there could be no com pArison between the two fictitious charac- ters. Mir Biggers must have realized that Charlie Chan was born to immortality. He did not make the same mistake as Conan Doyle and try to kill off the goose that was producing the golden egg.
 However Earl Derr Biggers' talents were not confined to the production. of mystery tales with Charlie Chan occupying the stage. His followers will recall that his first suc- cess was achieved with the aid of Seven Keys to Baldpate, a story that George M. Cohen thought enough of to dramatize. Both as a story and as play it was hit. It was written in 1913, just six years after Mir Biggers graduated from Harvard. While Seven Keys to Baldpate" was essentially mystery. it was a story with surprise in the last chapter. It was this possibility that made it so adaptabe'to the stage.
 'The Agony Column was written orig inally. we think, for the Saturday Evening Post and must have been melted by the authors first introduction to newspaper work as dramatic reviewer and columnst for the Boston Traveller. Before bringing out the mild tempered but all-discoverng Chan Earl Derr Bggers pursued the customary path of the moderately famous writer. His first novel made fine mystery play. A later story developed into a musical comedy. He also wrote another play, In side the Lines and eolaborated on several others. Oddly enough keys played an inn portant part in his career. He started sue cessfully with Seven Keys to Baldpate." He later wrote The House Without Key" His last success was another Charlie Chan fable. Keeper of the Keys

declared herself dry candidate for the office of delegate to the convention. She thus be- comes the first avowed candidate of either the wsts or drys and has accordingly stolen q march on the field. We think that her de- sire to serve her cause more than entities her to be a candidate for office. Whether or not she will be elected remains to be seen. We don't think that New Britain is any differ ent than the other Connecticut cities. all of whom are inclined to favor repeal of the 18th amendment as was clearly seen in last falls referendum on the same topic. It is even doubtful if many rural districts in this state will vote dry. We think Connecticut will send almost a 100 per cent wet dele gation to the state convention during the summer.
