10 YEARS AGO
As Revealed By the Files of -
The Evening Sentinel.
....-
a
‘The following items appeared in
the issue of The Evening Sentinel of
May 22, 1815:.
“The game of ‘cat' is occupying
the majority of the spare time of
youngsters in Norwalk at this par-
ticular season."
“Judging from the mud on the
roadwuy'of the Washington street-
bridge. it is hard to convince driv-
ers that the thoroughfare-was oiled
by the Street Department only a few
days ago. The cold weather and the
rain has by no means been helpful
allies of the oil in improving the
streets."
“Workman in the employ of the
Street Department are today spread-
ing crushed stone on the Bell island
roads and are making other im-
provements to the thoroughfares on
the island." .
“The ChcslilroHChcese Club will
meet on Mendny evening of next
week at, the home of Rev. it. Ci.
Hartley in West. avenue." ’
“Albert M. liohlman of South
Norwalk. the Collector of Internal
Revenue for Fairiield county. spent
yesterday in Danbury on business."
“Today is the last day of Nd!-
walk's first official clean-up week.
The results were far from being sat~
isfactory."
“The Lockwoo A. A.
team will cross ats tomorrow on
the Baxter Grounds at 3:15 o'clock
with the fast Dresden Lace nine."
“Thomas P. Moran who. for some
time. has had charge of tho Norwalk
freight office, yesterday assumed
similar duties in the Stamford office
of the N. Y.. N. If. and H. 11. it. He
will be under Ralph De Witt. the
agent at Stamford."
“Raver Benjamin last night was
whipped thoroughly and most deci-
sively in one rothtd and a half by
luttling Kuuz, but. despite the fact
that the Battier had everythlnglin
his favor every minute of the brief
mill. the decision went to ,Benia—
min, because Kunz was disqualified
by Referee ‘Jack' Dempsey for
fouling his opponent while he was
about to rise from a squatting posln
tion after being floored for the third
time in the iirst part of the second
round. Benjamin weighed 142
pounds and Kunz tipped the beam at
138 1-2.”
“Steve Boyd of South Norwalk
suffered a slight concussion of the
brain when he was knocked down in
the first round of , his bout with
Young Brown. in Bridgeport. last
evening. It was feared that the local
lad would not live the night out, but
his condition was much improved
this morning."

The Impossibility of Air Defense
(Manchester Guardian.)
Londo was raided from the air
oil‘sever occasions this week. Of
course‘it was only done by friends
and in the way of kindness. Still.
it resembles the real thing quite
enough to remind Londoners that
what has happened before may
happen again. and also to make
them reflect that if it does happen
again the first series of bombings
of London may seem a mere pin
prick compared with the second.
The grievous trut". is that in alr'
fighting the science of attack is
enormous head of the science of
defence. Neither land nor sea war-
fare presents anything like this ex-
traordinary disparity between .the
abundance of the available means
for killing 0th an enemy population
and the dearth of available means
of preventing them from doing the
like yourself. In the great war
nobody experienced in anti-aircraft
gunnery made any serious pretence.
to other people or even to himself.
that such weapons as his could ever
put an impenetrable ring fence
round a country. or even a city, such
as the sea used to put round .an
island power whose fleet held the
command of the 'sea. When an ‘an-
ti-nircrnft gunner hit on enemy in
the war he i't‘nnkly owned it was a
rare piece of luck. The most .he
hoped to do. as a rule. was to hustle
and flurry an attacking airman. to
make him fly high and so impair
his aim; or to make him go a long
way round and so increase his
chances of encountering one or more
of our own fighting aircraft. 'l‘o
police the air so thoroughly with
these air fighters that no enemy
night bomber could come out is, and
must remain. an impossibility. The
most that could ever be done would
be to make the enemy bomber's Job‘
highly dangerous. But in hardly
any country has there ever been a
difficulty in finding volunteers forthe
most dangerous jobs in war; physi-
cal courage is one of the virtues
moat widely possessed in almost ev-
ery nation; with such enormous in-
centives as the prospect of burning
on enemy capital or paralyzing the
nerve centers of an enemy govern-
ment. many airmen would always be
found willing to face odds of ten to
one against their coming home alive.

1‘ Home Field First
I” GEORGE T. HUGHES.
(Copyright, 1925.)
I wonder how many of my readers
when they have money to invdstcturn
their attention first to the home
field. By this I mean the securities
of corporations whose business is
conducted in their own immediate
neighborhood. .
It is a curious trait of human na~
turc to think that something fur'off
is better than at home. So it comes
about that people take the longest
kind of chances with. their money in
enterprises about which it is impos-
sible for them to secure any kind
of reliable information. The inclina-
tion is to overlook opportunities in
their own city or town. Somehow it
is more interesting to take a risk
where distance lends encha‘ntment.
City people want to put their money
into'somo agricultural enterprise, a
tropical. fruit plantation or a. "unit
orchard." Country people will buy
real estate in some development
which they have never seen. paying
prices which the normal growth of
that particular locality will not jus-
tlfy in 0. quarter of a century. Some-
times, of course, they win but more
often they lose.
My suggestion is that you reverse
this policy the next time you have
a few hundred dollars to invest.
Look around at home first. It may
be that the public utility which
serves your neighborhood is offering
on issue of preferred stock to its
customers. Certainly it. is worth cen.
slderlng whether your funds are not
safer in some business the progress
of which you can watch every busi-
ness day in the year than it is to
take a venture in the dark. It ought
to be a matter of local pride to help
build uplyour own industry. It may
be. too.‘that there is a good build-
ing and loan association right around
the corner lending money 'to build
more homes for yo r neighbors iind
so increase the wee th and prosper—
ity of the locality as a wholcsWhy
not investigate here before you reach
out elsewhere? , 1
