PROFESSIONAL TENNIS
 (Hartford Times)

The desertion of George Martin Lott, Jr, from the ranks of anna teur tennis is hard blow to Amer ica's Davis cup hopes for 1893 but it will add great impetus to pro- fassional tennis which already in- cludes such famous players as Wil- liam T. Tilden, 2nd, and Ellsworth Vines Lott is unquestionably the great~t doubles player in the world and as such will be a star attraction in the paid artist field. It is expected that Lester R. Stoef- en, Lott's partner in the Davis cup matches, will join with the Tilden troupe within a few days.

One more community makes plans to end pollution of stream by sewage. Pennington is going to build sewage disposal plant that will end pollution ot the Pennington river by the borough. A filtration plant will be built on the oppo- site side of the river from the town. pumping station will be built to get the sewage across the river to this point. The work is to be done with EZRA funds and will cost about $100,000. We have been surprised that more of our Connecticut towns did not take advantage of the op- portunity to get EZRA funds for such work as this Never has the state been given the chance to clean up rivers, ponds, and shore line from pollution by sewage and industrial wastes as it has in the last year or so with funds just waiting to be sought And Connecticut can certainly stand to have her water rights cleaned up.

The Trumbull town court, which has been established just one year, IS on paying basis, so the reliable Times-Star ot Bridgeport recently reported in its news columns. And it pays to be constable down there, too. Two of the enforcement officers who spend their times patrolling the highways made more than $1,3OO in their first year. These salaries, most motorists know, are drawn entirely from the fees collected in Connecticut with the court cases of those motorists who break the rules of the road. We noticed there were four other constables in the list, but the highest of them got only $428, the lowest $11.

AUTHORITY PROPERLY BESTOWED.

If there is anything that can defeat that section of the Presidents recovery program embraced Tn the Public Works and Civil Works activities, that thing is graft Quick and drastic action ought to be taken to stamp it out wherever it is found to exist. Only i that manner can the public funds allotted to these works perform the functions de- signed for them.
 In placing in the hands of Secretary and Public Works Administrator Ickes the power to deal wlth graft grafters of manipulation and manipuators of public funds for such projects the President has acted wisely and in timely manner. MT lckes has proved his capacity for handling every situation that has confronted him since he took the office of Secretary of Interior and became Public Works Administrator. He has made adherents out of enc mics and converted lukewarm and passive supporters into warm friends and constant allies by his sincere devotion to duty his tireless and efficient labors to get into motion projects designed to supply emer- gency employment to millions. He has been suc- cessfu in large He is entitled to have all the power necessary to kill off the ugly monster of graft wherever it shows its head to endanger the continued and complete success of the great task entrusted to him by MT. Roosevelt. We are certain he will use that power decsively but wisely and judiciously.

. THE EARTH AS A SAMPLE OF THE
 UNIVERSE.

It has many times been noted that the earth is highly favored body in the universe as whole with just the right temperature, atmosphere and chemical makeup to support life Remove the tiny bit of ozone in the air high above the earth and ultraviolet rays from the If the earth were a few thousand miles nearer the sun its tempera- ture would be materially raised and tropical climate be more common Move the earth similar distance away from the sun and colder climate would result If the earths day, time of revolu- tion on it's axis, the it takes the earth to go around the sun, we should have one side always toward the and the other side in darkness and cold, and the earth would have the same characteristics the moon.
 Speaking at the meeting of the Rhode Island month Dr. Donald H. Menzel of Harvard Ob- sorvatory described the problems of the origin of the earth and the history of the earth's develop ment in the light of cosmic chemistry. Although it supports life said the earth is really very poor sample of the matter in the universe as whole An analysis of the earth's crust and its atmosphere shows that 12 clements out of 92 comprise 99 per cent of the material.
 Many of the known elements" he declared occur in such small amounts in such analysis that no chemical means can detect them. The dentifica- stars led early investigators to believe that the earth was fair sample of the cosmic material.

TO MARK PRESIDENTS BIRTHDAY.

Next Tuesday hundreds of thousands, possibly millions of persons in more than 5000 towns scat tered from Alaska to California and from Maine to Florida will honor President Roosevelt on his birth day They will participate in Birthday BalP for MT Roosevelt.
 The proceeds from the many affairs are to be used to create a permanent endowment fund for the nation wide work of the Warm Springs Founda- ton for Infantie Paralysis. More than 500 trade unions will cooperate.
 Nothing, believe, could give greater pleasure to Mir Roosevelt than such birthday remembrance. It was at Warm Springs that he won his brave fight against the dread malady that struck him in the prime of manhood He has since then devoted much of his own fortune to building up health resort there for unfortunate suferers most of them children, from the same disease. No finer tribute, no greater mark of admiration for the President, could be given than this spontaneous and voluntary contribution the that is dear to his heart.

Cincinnati Enquirer.)


 Years ago, before the era of the brain trust at Washington, professors had an epidemic of comparing the past with the present, usually to the disadvantage of the former One professor from Yale went far to declare Rockefeller to be a greater man than Shakespeare. The New York Sun thereupon remarked that if this were so doubt less Rockefeller, had he written Romeo and Juliet" would have much simpfied it.. Those famous lines:
 Nights candles burnt out and
 jocund day
 Stands tiptoe the misty noun

 Here comes the mkman
 That particular Yale professor subsided then and there He had become too dogmatic, as criticism in the classroom not permitted. But when he addressed the public he found that his opinions were not to be taken the law and the gospel
 This is not much of parable, yet some of the professors at the Capital might well ponder over it. In their classrooms they have been elucidatng the history of the past But they are calling on to help make the history of the present and the future. And they called to do this not before the students in classroom, but in the eyes of the nation
 It is extremely difficult for them to lay aside their dogmatic methods. Some of the members of the brain trust most brilliant scholars and our most profound and daring thinkers, yet in being called from the spheres of thought to the sphere of action they are asked to do something to them new and untried So, when they propose something that is particularly novel they might stop and gently whisper to themselves: Here comes the milkman."
