Ghosts .What Ain’t
John Cavanagh proved himself to
[to an unusually capable. brilliant
. nd hard-hitting speaker in his ad-
idress before the Norwalk Kiwanis
i'Club.
. In a few brief words be summed
iiip the whole question of Norwnlk's
put. present and possible future de-
velopment when he said:
“I ask myself the eruption why
,has Norwalk not planned with a'
broader conception for its future
neodsT—at the same time admitting
she has done pretty well." He con-
tinued:
"I find that municipalities are a
.good deal like indlliduals. ’l‘hcy
build up a ghost that prevents them
3 . from doing the things they can do."
' He told the story or the little
black boy who admitted: "I ain't
scared of no ghosts what am! But
“ “'1 just feel kinda scary about the
ghosts what ain't."
In speaking of iiiunlcipalities. Mr.
Cavanagh pointed out that when we
no not have a real ghost. wo invent
one. He said;
.. "By ‘ghosts what ain't I mean the
floors. the hesitations we put on
ourselves that prevent us from get-
"Iing the best out of things. They
' make us sidestep and hesitate and

20 YEARS AGO
As Revealed By the Files of
The Evening Sentinel.
The following items appeared in
the issue 0 The Evening’ Sentinel
June 12. 1905: *
"The Second District Light sta-

the appropriation of 822.000 made
at last evening's city meeting."
“At a meeting of the sections of
High School pupils from the dider~
cnt departments that constitute the

that no gifts floral or otherwise be
presented to the graduates at the
public commencement. It is urgent-
ly requested that friends respect
this \low. T e ushers will be in-
structed acco dingiy if any fail to
consider the plan."
"A petition has been circulated
among the lawyers of the Norwalks
to close their offices on Saturdays at
one o‘clock during the month of
August. The petition has been sign-
ed by every lawyer but one."
“The annual state convention of
the State lt‘iremcn's Association will
be held in Meriden on Wednesday
and Thursday. Several local repre-
sentatives will attend."
"The plant of the St. George Pulp
and Paper Company ill Smith street,
Not-walk. started last night to manu-
facture newspaper. Hcl'etoforo the

"The lighthouse steamer :llislstoe.

Health Officer H. C. Shercr. Among
other things ll. defective sewer

"The L'ncaa Tribe of Red Men
held a meeting last evening at
which time plans were made for
their clambake to be held soon. at
which it is expected there will be

A Tornado And A Cyclone.
What is a cyclone—and what
isn't? '
Way back in the year 1848 Henry
Piddlngton of Calcutta. one of the
great pioneers in the study of
storms. published a treatise called
"The Sailor's Ilornbook." iii which
he introduced the term "cyclone"
as a general name for all “circular
or highly curved winds." This def-
initl'o‘n was broad enough to include
our American tornadoes. but the
term was not adopted into the
scientific vocabulary in just this
sense. Nowadays the name "cy-
clone" is technically applied to a
vast system of winds blowing
around -a center of low barometer
-—-the “low" of the daily weather
map. Cyclonell of the tropics.
though thousands of times as big as
a. tornado. are gsherally much
smaller than the cyclones of tem-
perature latitudes. and are nearly
always violent storms. In ‘our lati-
tudes cyclones may he stormy or
otherwise; they affect us chiefly by
bringing weather changes from
warm to cold and from wet to dr)‘.
A tornado is another affair. The
true tornado is a violent local whirl-
ing wind. the chief visible foetus of
which i; a long dangling cloud. ex-
tending to or toward the earth. It
is altogether different from the little
whirls of dust or leaves that some-
times form in dry weather. and also
from the tall whirling columns of
sand seen in deserts and known as
"devils" or “twisters.” All of these
latter start at the ground and work
unward. and are visible only on ac-
count of the solid materials they
carry. The tornado always begins
high in the air and works down. and
its visibility is due to the presence
of a. genuine cloud of condensed
moisture. The waterspout is a for-
nado over water. but is far less vio-
lcnt than the land tornado.
Tornados are much more fre-
quent and. on an average. much
more severe in the interior of North
America. than anywhere else in the
world—From The Mentor Maga-
zine.

First. Steamer on Missouri.
(Missouri Intelligent-er and Boon'e
Lick Advocate on June 4. 1819.)
On Friday last the citizens of
Franklin with the most lively emo-
' tions of pleasure. witnessed the ar-
rival of the beautiful boat. Inde-
pendence. We may truly regard this
event as highly important not only
to the commercial but the agricul-

Around the State
The. llennington College.
(Ansonia Sentinel.)
Establishment of a new college
for women at Bcnliington may be
regarded as mainly 3. Vermont pro-
tect. but it is not prudent to count
it so. When 15 years ago it was pro-
posed to establish a. women‘s col-
lege in Connecticut. some supposed
it would be mostly for Connecticut
women. We have the college. and
it years after its establishment. we
find 29 states represented in its
membership. with t"‘.onneeticut havv
ing only 35 per cent of the total.
And as to filling Connecticut College
for Women. already it has a. very
impressive waiting list. this not be-
ing due wholly. moreover. to the
fact that it can't get buildings fast
enough. Already the president sees
the desirability of limiting the size
of the college on general principles.
No fear of competition would in
any case prevent Connecticut from
encouraging the establishment of a.
college for women at Bennington.
Vermont needs it. The state has. to
be sure. four higher institutions of
learning. of which the largest. the
University of Vermont. now greatly
exceeds Loon students. The one
most justly deserving of fame. prob-
ably. is Mlddlt‘bllr)’ college. but has
not much over him students. Nor-
wich university of Northfield. an-
other cxccllcnt institution._lias about
300 students. and St. Michael's at
\‘l’inooeki is.a newer and smaller
sectarian institution. ‘
Bonnington. for reasons of its
character as well as its history.
would seem to be a favorable spot
for such a college. It is a delightful
city. and the proposed location of
the college. on the heights whore‘lthe
battle was fought. suggests though
it cannot equal. the scenic attrac.
tivcncss of Connecticut college at
New London. Aside from that Ben.
nington is a town with a literary
flavor. an ideal spot. to get learning
under competent teachers.
When Is a Rum-Runner?
(New London Day.)
The Coast Guard seems to be lis-
ing its ammunition rather carelessly
—at times. Two Harvard coaching
launches. on their way from Boston
to this city. were fired upon in a fog
off Cape Cod by a government boat.
The schooner William A. Morse.
with every evidence of being legiti-
mately engaged in the fishing busi-
ness. despite a disreputable past as a
rum-runner. was fired upon without
warning and was taken into custody.
. . . Granted that it is difficult to
tell a ruin-runner from a boat on-
gaged in some legitimate enterprise.
there still can be no excuse for pre-
suming that any boat is a rum-run-
ner. L'ndcr law, every man is deem-
ed innocent until he is proved guilty.
If the police on our city streets were
to shoot half a. dozen citizens merely
because that. half-dozen could be re-
gnrded as potential murderers (and
who of us is not potentially a mur-
dcrer in these days of uplift). if
the police took guilt for granted as
the Coast Guard seems to have done.
we'd be lynching policemen from
every tree.
Newspapers and Trials.
("Norton" in Shore Line. Times.)
One wonders if like trials (to the
Macri case) in the future. will be do-
voloped in the same way through
the efforts of the journalists as-
signed to them. If this occurs then
the movies have done more harm
than most of us have. dreamed of
and that is saying more than a lit-
tie. Of course it can be and will be
said that. there are educational films
but it can also be said that they do
not. draw the crowds. Still one
hopes that the court house will not
become either a substitute for or
an adjunct. of the moving picture
theatre.
It was pitched at the hysteric
points so far as the journalists
could keep it there and in that rc~
spect it resembled the Chapman
trial in Hartford in which there was
an advertised super-criminal who
strove to live up to the part like a
movie. hero and tile public “fell" for
it and lost sight of the facts as did
New Haven in the recent case.

Masked Propaganda.
(Detroit Free Press.)
Melvin M. Johnson of Boston. a
Tufts college trustee and an educa-
tor of note. speaking before mem-
bers of the New Jersey Bar Associ-
ation, pointed to the notorious-Cit“
Liberties L'nion as one of the fore-
most among the disguised agencies
whereby communist propaganda. is
being disseminated among Ameri-
CEnG'Ollth. Mr. Johnson makes no
new discovery. The pity is that the
public has not yet perceived as fully
as might be the true nature of the
union and its works. One reason is
to be found in the fact that the
union operates under misleading
colors and titles. Its appeal. also.
is so much masquerade. The pre-
servation of civil liberties is a sacred
cause in the American democracy.
Much of American patriotism rests
on pride in and Jealousy of those
liberties. The Civil Liberties Union
exploits this pride and this jealousy.
But the liberties which in actual
practice it upholds and defends are
as often as not but the licenses
claimed by enemies of the Constitu-
tion on which the whole structure
of American civil liberties repose.
Lonnie's usual shafts directed at
women. drawn largely from Scho-
penhauer and Mencken. were omit-
ted. There grew upon him the con-
victlon that Loni-lie loved the girl.
He turned his eyes upon Helen at
every opportunity, and was drawn
by her appeal. Once he caught
Lilah staring at him as he was in
turn staring at their visitor. He
colored.
An hour and a half after they
went into the dining-room. they
pushed back their chairs.
"Helen. Michael has some books
in the library I must show you."
Lonnie burst out. pointedly.
Graceflilly. Michael and Lilah
delayed themselves in the dining-
room.

Railroad Bondholders
Reference was made in a recent
article in this series to the effects of
motor car competition on the busi-
ness of the railroads. and the con-
clusion was drawn that so long as
car leading figures continue to ill-
cresse there is no reason to believe
that this competition would ever re.
suit in displacing the railroads as
the freight carriers.
it should be remembered that it ap-
plies to the railroads us a. whole.
and not to any particular line. Small
branch lines are in some cases seri-
ously threatened by the motor truck.
Many of these branches would never
have been built today for the truck
can serve the territory more econom-
ically and just as satisfactorily. In
more than one instance railroad ex-
ecutives have recognized this condi-
tion and are supplementing or
sometimes even substituting the mo-
tor truck for the locomotive.
The moral of this to the holder of
railroad bonds is obvious. He should
set: to it that the. property on which
his bond is a lien docs not fall with—
in the class of branch lines subject
to this threat. For even if this par.
ticulur bond is an obligation of the
road as a whole. it is a sound princi.
pie of investment practice iioi to buy
bonds which have. n lessened mar-
gin iii property value. Otherwise
the buyer is depending 'on earnings
to protect his investment and might
Just as well take stock with more
risk. perhaps. but also with a lagrer
return and more opportunity for
profit.
It will not do to apply this rule.
indiscriminately. but in the main it
wlil be the wise course to follow.
Perhaps some day we shall have to
consider the aeroplane as well as
the motor truck as a. potential
freight carrier. but t‘herc is no hur-
ry about that. Usually the layman
investor foresees trouble of this kind
too‘soon. Just as the professional
sees it too late. Changes brought
about by the progress of science and
invention work out their effects on
securities very slowly.
Dinner Stories
All Irishman on his way to the
races was persuaded by three other
occupcnts of the railway carriage
to join in a. little game of solo
whist. For half an hour he lost
steadily. and then to his astonish.
ment. he noticed one of the players.
a tough - looking specimen who
boasted a shade over one eye. pro-
duce an ace from nowlu‘e.
“Look here. gentlemen." said the
Irishman. "there‘s one member of
the party cheating. I don't wish to
cause any animosity, so I won't
mention who it is. but if he does it
again I'll knock his other eye out.”
Mr. Newlyrich strutted into I
club to which he had been elected.
He looked around to see if there
was anybody there he knew. and
after a while he discovered a well-
known barrister reading by a. win-
dow.
He walked across to the barrister
and held out. his hand. palm down.
On his third finger glittered s. dia-
mend ring'he had just bought.
"Hello. Mr. Briefs." he said. wig-
gling his fingers to make the dis-
mond sparkle. “What would you
do if you had that?"
"I'd sell it." said the barrister.
“and buy a. nail brush."
