our jaiis are dsplorabie. There Is little provision for segregation Of the young and old, or Of sick and the well. With few exceptions there is little place for recreation. In certain Jaiis the same menu has been served at the evening meal for well over year. With these and other conditions, prisoners cannot be expected to reform. Rs. formation, while c process ok re. irtegration of the personality around new standards, can hardly Do expected to occur with the pres. ent existing conditions. Tie cost of building and maintaining new institutions in every county in the state would certainly Do pfohib- tive ct the present time. 4 een- trai institution, as the commission on jaiis suggests, would Dc c benes flt fO the state at large as to the individual prisoner. No one, Of course, expects the balanced. budget project of the board of finance and control to De upset, but the 3aii farm matter must not Do overlooked by the General As. sefnbiy.

aeeounts As 1t is today most mortgages are scarcely able to meet their regular pay- ments let alone reduce the principal. It is the coneensus of bankers that margin of 1 l-2 per cent between dividends, such as interest on savings. and mortgage interest is enough to guarantee successful bank opera ton. Keeping that in mind we cannot help but hope that the reduction in the interest rates will soon be general.

Good evening.
 0--O--O DIZZY WEATHER
"A SMILES THE THING.

Good evening. DIZZY WEATHER Yesterday it felt like spring,
 You bet, Today it was another thing,
 You bet, The mercury was down to ten, For brackets low it has a yen, Sure as these simple lines I pen.
 You bet. Last night the rain changed into snow,
 You bet, Our merry hearts gave way to woe,
 You bet, Spring sent a messenger to town. It got glad hand all aroun'. But then things just turned upside down, Life's like the weather, seems @ me,
 You bet, It changes oh. so suddenly,
 You bet. Today we're warm and smiling through. Tomorrow, well things turn to blue, And there is nothing we can do.
 You bet.

Stabilized Populations

The English birth rate is dropping faster than it's death rate. In 20 years it has gone from 25 births for every 1000 population to l5.3. Since 1911 the death rate has changed from 5 to l2 per l.000Y With all the health gains made during the last gen. cration. the margin of population increase has continued to shrink. Census figures show d beginning of the same tendency in this country. It has been said our popula' ton will be stabilized well before the end of the present century.
 A French physician. in book about China. declares that the population there has become stabilized at a much lower figure than is populafly believed. Perhaps the whole world is going to experience popu' lation cheek which few anticipated q decade or so ago- It will mean fewer persons needing jobs. but at the same time it will mean fewer eonsumsn It may bring about d natural solution of many social problems but also it may preeipitats some new ones

Hartford savings banks expect 10 cut their interest rates on mortgages from } l-2 to per cent some time this year, aeeord' ing to word from that city. It might not be d bad idea for other cities to follow this example. Perhaps we may get some aid from the Legislature along these lines as there are several bills before it concerned with lowering interest rates on mortsageS loans. etc. In New Haven there seems to be a disposition to keep the interest rates on mortgages stationary at 6 per cent. But in the same city there will be reduction Of one.half per cent on savings deposits inter- est after April l. Last year Hartford led the way in interest reductions when it dropped from the per cent class to the l.2' However. it kept pace with this by also low. ering interest on savings. But there was no general response 10 this action as was antiei. patsd We should like to see q statewide re. vision of interest rates on n'ongsgeS even if it did result in q loss of interest on savings

Such big guns as Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Tony Lazzcri and Ben Chapman are on the outside, temporarily at least.

But Harry Leech says 1t isn't and Harry ought to know. It was just such q jump on that dark and stormy night above Beauvais France, several years ago that made him one of the six survivors ok the ill-fated R-10i.
 All "On Edge"
 Harry, here as a mechanic with Sir Malcolm Campbell, says his most anxious moments were not those when he plunged through the flaming rabric of the RlOl to land in the top of tree, but rath- CT those moments he has spent on the south end of Daytona Beach waiting for the skipper" to hnish his drives down the sands In search of the worlds automobile speed record.
 Ut gets me liko nothing else. that waiting" Harry confided to- day as he helped prepare the mighty Bluebird. Tt gets me worse on days when the wind Is coming my way and 1 can follow him all along the course by the scream or the motor. 1t seems an eternity those few seconds from the time he takes off until he finishes the south run.
 We mechanics feel responsible for the skipper. He puts his life sn our hands. None of us can keep from thinking, as he makes n run, how terrible 1t would be If some thing one of us had failed to do ea used tho skipper to come 10 sticky end" ,
 Had he ever seen the skipper" close to n sticky end?'
 Tire Killed Child
 "I'll never forget that tune in Denmark when he came by at l40 and both back tires flew on' l thought he was done for when the car went into deep broadside skid, but he pulled it out all right and on his. next run he almost got 1t again when front tire blew off, That was the tire that hurled off the course and killed young. ster who was watching the run.
 Harry wouldn't like to drive himself, "It's too dangerous for n fellow my age" There's no use tO point out that he's younger than tho skipper" ,
 "Yes, but there's only one Ike him," he replies.

At least that much progress was made yesterday afternoon at q meeting of the eligibility commit- tee of the conference held in Wllby High school, at which Crosbys report on the player was unfavor- able in that he was found to have violated one of the conference rules by playing with an "outside" team after the Crosby season start ed. As result, Griffin was suspended for q full year. as ne had played under an assumed name, on January 8, Crosby off, ciais reported. The infractlon means that four games in which Griffin played for Crosby were ruled "no contest" and may be re- played at the option of opposing coaches or school authorities, # Crosby can make such arrange ments, which, however, are prac- tically impossible before February 25, the date at which all records for Yale tournament consideration must be filed.
 Tho eligibility committee ot it's meeting yesterday took Q neat slap at Coach Foley of Naugatuck, who gave the Griffin rumor state wide prominence and then refused to bring official charges against tho boy, for reasons best known to himself. The following resolution was adopted:
 "Resolved that the executive board of the Conference go on rec- ord that the representative of any school to whom knowledge or rumor of a violation of any of the eligibility rules of the Conference may come, be morally bound to communicate the knowledge imme. diateiy to the head of the school concerned for investigation, and that the board most strongly de- precate the facts that in the past such knowledge has been kept un- der cover to the detriment of the schools concerned"
 In discussing the matter this morning, Coach Schofeld of Cros.. by said: "We arc not yet out of the Yale tournament and if we win enough games on our remaining schedule including one or two re- plays, we can make the grade. We havo a chance, but small one, though we will keep on trying, un- til all our chances are gone."
