"Save A Life" is a slogan that is
not new. The thought has always
1 been in the minds of men and wo-
man the world over. \Vhen we put
the slogan into concrete action we
speak for progress. It is to "save a
life" that lhu Evening Sentinel has
undertaken a campaign to elimin-
ate the danger or the railroad
crossing at New Canaan avenue and

heartcdly by the progressive citizens
of Norwalk and particularly by
those who are compelled to use

‘ ALVAN T. FULLER
The life story of Alvan T. Fuller,
who is fighting for Calvin Coolidge
old job as governor of hiassachus-
cits. reads like a tale by lloratlo
Alger.
As a. little boy in Maiden. Mass.
he started in business by selling
newspapers. Constant toll netted him
a little money. and he bought a bicy-
cle. one of the old style bikes. this
was the turning point of his life. he
says. lie won a race on it against
other boys. for a diamond ring.
From then on he was wrapped up,
first in bicycles. then automobiles.
The automobile business he started
tailed twice, but he did not give up
and finally made it a success, Now
he is one of the most prominent
business men in the state.
Fuller was born in Boston in
1878. lie entered politics in 1915
as a Republican member of the
state house of representatives. He
was a delegate to the Republican
national convention in 1916.
From 1917 until he resigned in
1921. he was a. member of congress
lie became lieutenant governor in
1921. and hopes to advance to the
governor's chair next.
Post-War Currencies
In discussing the various new
monetary units in circulation in Eu-
rope slnco the war. the National
Bank of Commerce in New York in
the March issue of Commerce
Monthly says:
"New currencies bearing many
unfamiliar names are making their
appearance in Europe. Some of
the seemingly new units prove to be
old units under new names. the
icpublic of Latvia, for example. has
adopted as its standard unit. of vaide
the lat, equal to a gold 'rsnc
(80.133). Notes issued by the Bank
of Latvia. are covered with a rela-
tively large reserve of gold and fur-
cign currencies. The gulden of the
free state of Uanzig is another unit
lately adopted equal to one twenty-
lillll of the pound sterling gold.
which is approximately one gold
iranc.
"Lithuania has abandoned Euro-
pean precedents and fixed the nom-
inal value of its new‘unit. th’e iitas
or iii. us one-tenth of the United
States dollar. it is reported that
there is a large reserve of gold and
currency behind the notes and their
value has been well maintained.
"Poland begun the introduction
of the gold standard on January 1.
1924 with a currency unit equivalent
to the franc, for which the name
'zloty is used. Austria, having al-
ready stabilized its paper currency.

new sliver "shilling" coinage. the

"Germany's latest eflort to re-
organize its currency consists in the
issue of rentenmarks. a temporary
currency limited to a period of two

vertible into gold. The security be-

In this country. his. own. the name
of Edgar Allan Poe is associated in
the minds of moat of the persons
who have heard it. with tales of
horror, an unholy thirst for liquor
and. less often. a poem called “The
Raven." Despite evidence disprov-
ing the popular superstition that
Poe did all of his writing while in
the throes of never-ending delirium
tremens. the belief persists beyond
hope of abrogation.
The circle of readers who know
him intimately as critic and essay-
ist as well as poet and inventor of
the detective-mystery story is a
small one. Nevertheless. he is ac-
counted one of the two or three
greatest American essayists and
critics.
One of his essays has to do with
"Philosophy of Furniture." In it
we find him anticipating one phase
of the Main Street school of fiction
by half a century.
“In the internal decoration. if not
the external architecture of their
residences. the English are supreme;
The Italians have but little senti-
ment beyond marbles and colors. In
France. the peorile are too much of
a race of god-abouts to maintain
those household proprictios of which.
indeed, they have delicate apprecia-
tion. or at least the elements of a
proper sense. ‘ The > Chinese and
most of the Eastern races have a
warm but inappropriate fancy. The
Scotch are poor decorists. The
Dutch have perhaps an indetermin-
ate idea that a. curtain is not a cab
huge. In Spain they are all curtains
—‘a nation of hangmen. The Rus-
sians do not furnish. The Hottentots
and Kickapoos are very well in their
way. The Yankees alone are pre-
posterous," Poe writes.
