No More Dirigibles?

Commander Dennistoun Bourney of Great Britain believes that the destruction of the of the coast of New Jersey in the early hours worlds biggest airship. the U. S. s. Akron. of Tuesday morning will drive the final nail in the coffin of this type of war engine. We are inclined to think that he is more than half right. Both Great Britain and France have definitely abandoned the drigible. Dr Hugo Eekener of Germany is still firm be- liever in their efficacy. So was Rear Admiral William R. Moffeu. but he is gone, dashed to his death in that last cruise of the Akron which ended in disaster at sea. Will there be anybody left 10 take Mofetts place as defender of the dirgible!
 We can recall the stormy time that Con- gress spent in discussing this same U s. S. Akron and its official acceptance by the gov ernment It was accomplished only after long and acrimonious debate in which the arship was criticized and extolled in the same breath. There has been little heard or seen of the Akron's sister ship. the Cacon, in which Connecticut once displayed some enthusiasm when it seemed that she might be named Hartford from which city came SO many of her parts and equipment. Certainly the Macon will be scrutinzed with microscopic attention henceforth.
 1t is natural for an air disaster of the proportions of that of Tuesday to dampen the enthusiasms of any nation for air craft However, we are more or less hardent to the spectacle of plane crashes. We think no more of them than we do of the much more numerous motor vehicle fatalities of the na- tion But Uncle Sam's experience with giant arships has been fraught with so much dis aster that it would seem as if perhaps the end has arrived, so far as development of this branch of aeronautics is concerned. The nation mourns in the loss of the seventy odd members of the Akron's crew who went to their deaths while at the post of duty. But the nation now hopes that perhaps experience has taught us a stern lesson.

LEGISLATIVE TRAVEL FEES
 Gartford Times)

Citizens of Connecticut should watch with interest what the legis- Iaturc proposes to do with house bill No. 168 which provides that transportation mileage allowed to members of the general assembly shall be reduced from 10 to z cents a mile. The revision downward Is obviously reasonable. The lower figure will more than cover the cost of driving an automobile, let alone considering the common practice of legislators doubling up" in coming to the capital four days a week.
 How preposterously high the present mileage allowance Is, may be seen from such illustrations as these. Greenwich. approximately $16 a day; StoningtOn, $11; Sails bury, $10. to select few of the more remote towns. Clearly. the high mileage allowance is q dis guised form of compensation and refusal of the legislators to rdeuce the rate will but indicate their in- sistence on 6 disguised form of pay to which they are not reasonably entitled.
 In Governor Ba1dwin's time there was scandalous abuse of railroad passes and he and the effi- cient Comptroller Dunn saw to 1t that transportation allowances were confined to mileage pay to the in- dividual legislators. With the com ing of the automobile the abuse has again assorted itself in the ex- travagant allowances made. The present time is one to bring this issue into the open and for public insistence on an adjustment which is in line with reasonable defraying of actual travelling costs.

of the printed word everywhere. "Government style" says the proof reader as he deletes the hyphen from Vice. President; in influenc- ing the craft to which Is intrusted the art nreservative 1t is potent be- yond all the doctors who ever wore hoods. Consequently it's style sheet is important.
 There is q new edition of this shect--a cloth bound booklet of pages XIII and 302, against the 150 of tho edition of 1911. The increase in bulk is regrettablc, but inevitable, and in comparison with the style sheets of some print shops moderate. The devastation caused by Theodore Roosevelt's incursion into spelling reform is discernible in some details of this sheet, but the most horrid conse- quenccs of that incident have been overcome by the curative processes of time. If the style sheet of this period foments revolution 1t does so in hidden places. It's lists pre- sent the absurdities and contradic- tions of word building with which all printers arc familiar. It's rules point the way to exceptions, and 1t is equipped with blank pages on which may be get down the strange things that in the lifetime of vol umc such as this revise It's finali- ties.

Geneva and Latin America

Peru has appealed to the League of Nations to intervene in her dispute with Colombia over the possession of Leticia, little river port in the jungle, on the upper reaches of the Amazon. This is an innova- ton. The League has always hesitated about taking the initiative in Latin-Amerl- can controversies, fearing to intrude on the prerogatve domain of the United States. as implied in our Monroe Doctrine. It can act legally. of course when asked to do so by its Latin American members.
 Colombia acts otherwise, evoking the Kellogg anti-war pact and asking the sigma tories of that pact, who include Uncle Sam to make Peru behave herself It may look like conflict of jurisdiction. But inasmuch as the signatories of the Kellogg Pact. with the exception of the United States. are nearly all league members, and cur own government manages to cooperate with the league pretty well, the affair should be handled satisfactorily without hard feelings. In fact, our government itself has just asked Peru to keep the peace.
 Meanwhile the slaughter continues in the Gran Chaco, the cowboy wilderness between Bolivia and Paraguay. We have tried to stop it, without success. If Geneva diplo- macy can persuade South Americans to quit killing each other there need be no resent ment here

Here, There And Everywhere

The state board of fisheries and game had formerly given patriots the right to boast that Connccticut possessed the only trout preserve in the United States for the exclu- siye use of women anglers. It has now given proof that politics had no place in its appointment of warden. The competition staged Saturday constituted as stiff test as the most ardent civil service en- thusiast could demand. Miss Stoeher was forced to demonstrate her superiority in dry-land casting, in trout cvocation from secluded pools, in fishing lore, even in fish ermen's knots. The test was uni- quely complete. She who could maintain composure and skill be- fore official experts, before a bat tery of cameramen, with voracious trout rising at the shadow Of q meal, should be able to maintain her authority and instruct feliow- women in the seclusion of this pri- vate preserve.
 There are thirty-four other state leased trout streams where both sexes may match skills. These may be considered advance schools. The private stream is the primary grade. Women may hero mistress the art of angling before ventura ing into open competition with men who have fished since boyhood. And 1t will fare hard with any un- wary male who wishes to detect the feminine wiles practiced upon trout. Miss Stoeher is authorized to carry gun. When questioned as to her ability with this. as with q casting-rod. she replied briefly but significantly: T can usually hit what I shoot at."

Relief In Sight

We were glad to note that in his latest mes sage to Congress President Franklin D. Roosevelt did not completely overlook the small home owner when be asked for aid for the heavily -mongaged farms of the na- ton. While the message was primarily In- tended to provoke relief for the farm popu- lace of the country. he did intimate that later would follow plea for extension of such governmental aid to the small home owners of the nation. d great many of whom have already lost their homes and many more of whom are faced with the loss of them. This is a topic with which the president should spend considerable time as it involves mil lions of bis warmest supporters.
 Refinaneing of mortgages so that the productive capacity of our farming popu- lace will not be crippled is of vital necessity. Loss of home is the first blow at this ca- pacity It must be prevented at any cost. The first step was taken when President Roosevelt sent to Congress the domestic allotment bill But. as the president points out. more than this is needed What good would be this provso if our farmers had no home to call their own. Investigation has showed that many farm mortgages are bear ing interest rates far out of proportion to all sound financial policy. Immediate reduc- ton of the same is certainly in order.
 cInsl home owners have been seeking the same thing for some years past too. Last year a number of Connecticut banks voluntarily reduced interest rates on mort gsgcs to 5 l-2 per cent. This was 10 be followed by another l-2 per cent reduction this year. However. this is merely gesture py particular institutions and not such 1 widespread and universal mo~ement as we would like to sec. Undoubtedly it IS the hope of all concerned that the time will

Further modification of the Volstead law by Congress now makes it possible for every physicians office to become a virtual liquor dispensary. Restrictions on the issuance of liquor prescriptions have been withdrawn. The law now says tbat one pint of whskey or one quart of wine can be prescribed for d patient every ten days, Further than that each physician is limited to 100 prescriptions every ninety days. Now the immediate needs of the patient can be considered and judging by past capacities we should say that these needs will be considerable. There no longer is necessity for the physician to name the illness of the patient on the prescription. All of which means that in the coming few months bonded whiskey in government storehouse is going to be seriously de- pcted. The powers that be had better order the dstieries from which medicinal liquor is obtained to increase their output this year. Inasmuch as the law demands definite aging period existing available supplies will soon be depleted.

The Courage To Drink MIX
(Hartford Courant)


 A movement is on foot to give the English courage to sit down in public at restaurants or hotels and order q glass of milk. Very young children do 1t but though the princes of the royal family are bold enough to knit and to ex- hibit the product of their nimble fingers. the British adult, female or male, is reported to finch at the thought of being seen drinking that pap. Tea or ale is considered the nourishment befitting their dignity and strength and milk fit only for toddlers.
 Even reports that mighty men of finance and big business in America do not hesitate to order at the most lavish hotels or clubs a simple bowl of milk and crack CTS and eat it like any little maid beside a cottage door, quito una bashcd, have not elevated the cus- tom in the eyes of city men in London. Tt may be sham pride provincialIsm, sheer nonsense. but then too 1t may be because of the milk. There is little refrigeration, natural or mechanical, in the United Kingdom or in all Europe. for that matter. and 50 from time irnmcmoriaI until the present. .
