able TO find a place TO park, he says.
Often person spends as much money
for gas looking for a parking space as
he would in a meter, the chief be-
lieves.
The present practice of waiting until
an officer chalks an automobile tire
and then moving car a few feet win
be outlawed. Officers now put chalk
marks on tires and return an hour
later to tag those cars which have
not been chalked and not moved IN
the hour.
For Long Time Parking
To remain in a parking space longer
than an hour it viii be necessary to
insert additional coins in the machine.
Commercial cars making deliveries
will have the same privileges as under
the present system, it is said. They
may double park, or viii not have to
pay. while stopping in the business
district to deliver laundry groceries or
other items.
In calling for bids the sentiment OF
the city council was that if meters are
installed, it viii be for a trial period
of possibly six months. If they prove
unsuccessful or unpopular they may
and the sidewalks will be restored to
good condition, it was stated.
The council was evenly divided on
the proposition, voting to 3 with
Mayor G. A. Hauswirth casting the
deciding vote in favor of calling for
bids.
Meters, according to type, vary in
price from $50 to $40 each. However,
no outlay from city funds will be re-
quired to install them, it was said
The company installing the meters
will receive one-half of the revenue
until they are paid for and the city
the other half. It is conservatively es-
timated that they will be paid for with
In 16 or 10 months. They would then
be owned by the city and the city
would receive fun revenue Of $4,000
Or more a year.

The recent selection of self-edu-
Gated DR.. Walter Harlow Pease-
out of formidable list of applic-
ants-for the important post of
bacteriologist and pathological
technician at the Montana State
college is regarded as an outstand-
ing event by those familiar with
the facts. 1t marks the triumph of
a man, now approaching his Goth
milestone, over tremendous odds.
Eleven years ago Walter Fl. Pease
was a Butte miner. One night he was
caught by fall of ground"-a min
quantity of rock from the roof OF q
drift or Stope. When he was rescued,
it was found that both legs had been
crushed, his collar bone broken and his
ribs fractured. Then began four
year struggle at st. James hospital.
The torture of his injuries robbed
the patient of his rest. He was given
a book from the st. James hospital

The motorist viii drive his car into
a parking place, get out and deposit a
coin in the meter. The hand Of an
automatic clocking device then swings
back TO the zero point and starts to
register the time parked. At all times
it shows the number Of minutes the
car has been IN the parking space.

times as many cars In the business

Danzig Settlement At Hand

Whether the Danzig affair comes to crisis and war, no one yet knows. But II it does. it is just as well for the world to remember that there is not the falnteSC excuse for this happening. The means or a peaceful Danzig settlement are at mana.
 Danzig is an artificial political creation of the Versailles Treaty, whose admins. tration is in the hands of the League or Nations. The leagues commissioner, pr. Karl Burckhardt, is on hand in that city. He is a Swiss, and therefore neutral in the Danzig controversy. He is a scholarly man, devoted to peace and justice
 Let it be granted that the league IS not what it ought to be, nor even what It was. Let it be granted that Germany IS nc longer a member of the league, ana therefore no longer bound by 1t. Never theless, not enough is being said about the fact that the Danzig situation can be peacefully settled. If it is not, 1t Will pc because somebody doesn't want to settle 1t peaceably.
 Both Germany and Poland have claims in Danzig. The Germans have a claim to the city based on the fact that most or Its people are German and presumaply would like to come under the German system The Poles have a claim based on the fact that their country must nave free access to the Baltic. Very we'll Are these claims mutually exclusive? Is there no way in which Germany could nave Danzig, yet Poland be assured Of free outlet to the Baltic for its growing com merce? There must be such way, given the merest shred of the will to find 1t.
 The Poles have developed their own port city of Gdynia on the Baltic. What they need is assurance of the use Of that port, equal assurance with Germany that they can use the Vistula basin which runs up through the neutralized corridor to the open Baltic and the worlds trade: The Poles have in large part abandoned Danzig anyway as shipping point. Ger many claims it wishes only to restore Germans to the Reich.
 What a silly thing to have a world war about! Here are two neighbor nations at daggers drawn over the kind of ques- ton that sensible, sane men are settling every day all over the world. And here neutral referee is ready, willing, and anx- ious to cooperate in finding solution which will give each party most Of what he wants. Failure to make use Of the league commissioner on the spot at Dan- zig will show the world that what is de- sired is not just solution, but an excuse for doing something else that has noth- ing to do with the actual needs or rights of the parties involved.

Housing Projects

Not so many months ago Waterbury became excited over federal housing project. Similarly other Connecticut communities experienced the same feel- ing and some of them have even gone so far into the matter that they may be eX- pected to have something in the nature of a federal government-sponsor project. But it is rather interesting to read that the largest housing operation ever at- tempted in Connecticut will shortly get underway in the ElmWood section of West Hartford, adjacent to Hartford, where federal housing is approved.
 The plan is quite breath-taking one as it involves construction of 152 one- family houses and an initial tWo-story garden apartment block, housing 270 families Other plans call for augmenting these homes later on with additional units in both single-family houses and apartment blocks. In the financing of such tremendous undertaking as this will be the Federal Housing Administra- ton will insure the mortgage. All of which might seem to be an answer for those communities who prefer private housing operations to public.
 The promoter of the endeavor, Charles Newmark New York builder, is just completing a similar project down in Stamford in which use of private capital was made. This is not startling news to be sure, but it is news guaranteed to assure those who opposed federal housing for Waterbury that their convictions are slowly but surely being upheld as private Initiative and private capital go to work.

RADIANT ROMANCE (Hartford Times)

We should like to be able to say
 more about Radiant Romance" sixteen -year-old Jersey COW whose picture adorned . page of The Times this week.
 Adorned" is quite the proper word for any being, human or otherwise, as useful as Radiant Romance" Despite her age this COW is still producing milk, which ap- pears to the untutored lay mind to be 6 remarkable fact. Not many cows as old as sixteen, 1t Is impos- sible even to guess. Undoubtedly she has. earned her keep in those re- spects quite apart from the food fluid she has produced.
 The dairy COW. with her versatile usefulness, Is one of Natures great wonders. In addition to milk for food, progeny to carry on her work, fertilizer to enrich the land, all of which she produces while alive, she is useful even after death in fur- nishing meat for mans sustenance, shoes to clothe his feet, blood for his chemicals, belting to run his machinery, to say nothing of gela- tine to enrich his diet.
 If anything in creation is entitled to mans respect 1t is this humble. meek, cud-chewing ruminant. The wag who marvelled that this ani- mate machine takes the green grass and the red cloiver and turns 1t into white milk and yellow butter, had the idea even if his picture is in- adequate.

The Tanks Still Come

British sports fans must be of an ex- tremely high type to put up with the year-after-year assault on their frontiers by invaders from across the Atlantic in all forms of pastime. Take tennis as typical example. No sport attraction gets quite the notableS as do the annual championships at Wimbledon. Royalty turns out en masse for these matches. And what usually happens? Some young American boy or girl romps through the long entry list and takes a big trophy back to the U. S. A.
 There have been years when the championship stayed at home. And there have been years when it went elsewhere on the continent. But for the last twenty years or so there have been indications that American players or the American tennis-governoring body had serious designs on the Wimbledon bowl year after year. Certainly 1889 was no exception. We had no Tilden or Vines or Budge to send to the tennis wars. Helen Wills decided she'd had enough Helen Jacobs was definitely an outside hope
 So we sent Bobby Riggs and Elwood Cook to uphold the male side of the game and Alice Marble and Mrs. Fabyan to show what our girls could do. Riggs took the championship on one day and the following one Miss Marble participated in three final matches and emerged vic- torious in all of them. She became singles champion, mixed-doubles champion, and women's doubles champion. There seems to be no end to the top-notch information alists that the states can send out to bring home tennis championships. What must the British, patient and long-suffering, be thinking?

EDWARD L. LOGAN (Boston Post)

Lieutenant General Edward L.. Logan was one of the States most distinguished men and also one of BostonS most valuable citizens. No Massachusetts man had a finer mil- itary record than this noted son of a fighting family.
 He left Harvard when the Span- ish war broke out to serve under his father, Colonel Lawrence J. Logan, of the famous old Ninth Massachu- sctts Regiment. He led the old Ninth, as the 101st infantry of the Eankee Division, to France. There the regiment, one of the earliest in France, made remarkable record.
 When he retired from the nation- al guard he was given the rank of lieutenant-general-the first in the history of the State.
 Lieutenant General Logan was no less distinguished in peace than in war. He had been judge of the South Boston Court since 1907. A very modest and retiring man, he could have gained high political office had he chosen. At various times he could have been the nominee for the governorship or for the mayor alty of the city.
 A high-minded gentleman . grac- ious and appealing personality, he was held in deepest affection by those who knew him. As a member of Q famous family he was repre- senztive of it's high. traditions.

Over in Meriden the city's health off, cer has started a determined drive against the presence of ragweed within the city limits. Everyone is being enlisted in movement to eradicate it completely. And that's hard job Ragweed is believed to be the most common cause of those bothersome summer colds from which so many people suffer and which we are accustomed to term hay fever. Pollen from ragweed has an irritating effect on the nasal passages of many who suffer from this seasonal attack. Ragweed can be easily rooted up, but too many people believe that is all that is necessary to get rid of 1t. It isn't. In order to kill 1t off completely the plants must be burned when they are sufficiently dried out to be inflammable. Just letting them lie rotting in pile allows seeds to germinate and sprout anew the following year. Wipe out ragweed, but do 1t right.
