schools in the several branches Of the
work for which she has volunteered.
One thing to which she is going to
give a great deal of attention and in
which she is particularly interested is the
training school for volunteers in the
Motor Corps, which will start this Sum-
mer, and in which mechanics will compose
a major part of the course. This train
ing for women volunteering with the
allied forces abroad is required, and 1t
will be recalled that Miss Phillips, daugh-
ter of the American Ambassador to Italy,
took an intensive course in the construc-
tion of motors, emergency repairs and
mechanics before joining Miss Ann
Morgan's motor corps in France. The
Red Cross motor corps in this country
does splendid service in peacetime and
is active all the year around.

executive and business ability and
that rare talent for successfully Or
ganizing people into active, respon-
sive units. Her work for the repeal
Of the prohibition amendment and
her organization of women for ma

standing. Perhaps its due to her
frank, gracious way of meeting
leople that she excites interest in
whatever she starts out to do-at
any rate she has fairy touch in
all her undertakings.
Mrs. Davis Faced
With Many Tasks.
Mrs. Davis ranks as one of the
cleverest women politicians of her
party, but just how she expects to
play her usual active part in the
coming presidential campaign, at
tend the National Republican Con-
vention at Philadelphia next month,
and take over the direction of the
3,700 Red Cross chapters through
out the States-and which due to
the war abroad are rapidly increas-
ing in numbers-is difficult to see.
AS president of the Women's Ma
tional Republican Club in New York
she became widely known through
out the States. She never siezes
upon situation and her attitude
towards social reforms is broad
minded; she is inclined to be lenient
toward the other fellows viewpoint
and looks to the why's and where
fores of certain conditions before
expressing an opinion. For ''Emi-
nent Attainment" she received the
American Woman's Association
Award.
Mrs. Davis says she is free
lance in art-not interested in any
particular school-and buys a pic
ture or piece of statuary because
1t appeals to her and because she
feels that she would like it near her.
She says she is still interested vastly

And, speaking of art, the poster

Coalition Cabinet

President Franklin D. Roosevelt mas
acted, to fill two Cabinet vacancies, as no
other president has in recent years. lie
has appointed members OF an opposing
political party to the places The very
important portfolios OF Secretary OF war
and Secretary OF Navy will be filled IN the
coming momentous months by Henry l..
Stimson and Col. Frank Knox. The for
mer Is O veteran Cabinet official having
been Secretary of State under EXPIRES
ident Hoover, and Secretary OF war I'M
der Taft.
Critics may be bit nonplussed for the
moment at the Presidents sudden &C
ton. They may be at a loss OF words, TOO,
inasmuch as good many COP spokes-
men were not accepting the non-partisan
spirit OF the White House In the current
emergency without some definite indica-
ton OF the Presidents part. He certainly
could have given no better indication
than these appointments, but whether
they'll satisfy remains to be seen.
Personally we see no great gain for the
nation In O coalition Cabinet. It may be
OF political value, but that 1t will do any
more than Cabinet composed, to all In
tent and purpose, OF members OF the exc
cutive's party Is doubtful. However, there
Is this to be said OF these two appoint
ments. They do accomplish a certain
purpose. They strengthen two depart
inents that were obviously weak at a mo.
ment when they should be strong II
ever there was need of able guidance IN
the War and Navy Departments 1t Is
now
Secretary OF War Harry Woodring has
been a misfit. No doubt personally he
had fine points, but he has been sadly out
OF step with the administration and ma
tional policy for so long that his, depar-
ment has become constant mark for the
critic. Secretary OF Navy Charles A. Ed
son has likewise "bogged" down Of recent
months, but mostly because he has the
gubernatorial bee In his bonnet. He was
an able and efficient Assistant Secretary
OF the Navy. When he became chief he
also aspired to other offices.
These two Cabinet posts demand
thought and energy. The Republican APP
pointees step into no sinecures They
definitely have hard work cut out for
themselves.

So, too, in England the Baldwins and
Chamberlains fumbled the ball and Bri-
tain turns at last to-Churchill, another
leader OF the vintage of World War !. Ger
many produced no civil leaders of stature
after the World War, turning at last to old
Hindenburg when he was mere walking
zombie. Hitler, of course, was at war from
the day he took office and before. He had
not even yet been in a position TO show
whether he has any talent for civil
government.
This inability to produce young and
vigorous leaders is Europe's failure. It is
failure that must not plague the United
States, which did not lose the cream Of a
whole generation in war, and has not
even that excuse for failure to develop
leaders among its younger men.

The Bridgeport Telegram believes that
a recital OF tax rates for any given section
OF the nation does not constitute a true
picture for comparison purposes. Citing
q recent survey throughout the East 1t
points out that the highest rate In New
England was credited to New Bedford,
Mass, with 40 mills the lowest, Lewis
ton, Me-, 1917 mills. Atlantic City had
the highest along the Atlantic seaboard
with $50 mills.
However, The Telegram claims that
this is only half the story The other
halls Is contained In the method OF levy
ing assessments against local taxable pro-
perty. 7 varies In most OF them with
towns putting assessments either at full
market value or above or below the actual
figures. You often hear the complaint
registered by public officials that some
communities can afford to boast OF low
tax rate because OF the fact that proper.
ty values are assessed beyond their actual
or true value.
Right now here In Waterbury there Is
some agitation TO get present property
valuations on the city books equalized.
The Waterbury Savings Bank, holder OF
much property throughout the city and
consequently high taxpayer, feels that
there Is too much inequality throughout
the entire city In this respect. It goes
without saying that In this respect Wa
terbury differs but little from other COM
munitles which have failed to maintain
some scientific but elastic method OF re-
valuation OF property.
City officials may hesitate about start
ing such program because they probab-
" incline to the opinion that to operate
this municipality economically but eff
GENTLY q lot OF money Is required. But
Is servants OF the public they must event.
ually recognize the fact that o reasonable
tax rate and equality OF valuations on
which assessments will be based are nee.
egsary before all else.
