bl EFire Fighters’ Needs

:Norwalk firemen, both paid and
;; vdlunteer. did excellent work yester-
"tigy ln confining the blaze that

wiecked the Mercantile Building. on
Sduth Main street. doing damage
animated at tandoori.

:The fire might easily have mount-
ed into a catastrophe which would
have razed a good part of the busi-
. ndsa section of South Norwalk. It
. lama miraculous, judging from the
heat and ferocity of the blaze. that

entire block. between Elizabeth

‘C d Haviland streets.
It oyed.

{the recurrence of bad fires in the
beyond district points strongly to the
need of the best possible fire protec-
tion here. We can not have too
many pumpers and too many mem-
- bars of the paid department. The re-
cent appropriation for additional paid
firemen will prove helpful. The Fire
Department's equipment must be
brought up to the highest standard.

Under present conditions. a blaze
may get a good start on the firemen
and. fanned by a wild wind. leap be-
yond control. We cannot affor to
take the chance of witnessing half
the city in smouldering ruins.

Every sane man takes out. fire in-
Iui‘ance on his property: the wise
\cifir buys sufficient fire-fighting ap-
pahtus and sees to it that its water
prpssu‘re is adequate; This is mu-
nicipal inpurance.

Our firemen do the very best they
. cap. which is admirable. but. they
can not he expected to do the impos-
sible with the odds against them.

:The Board of Estimate should and
must back them up by the special
Ippropriation of sufficient funds to
buy needed equipment.

Reware Of The Mob

Let us be thankful that the Ten-
nessee court has not the power of
sending Mr. Scopes to the stake. and
that there is no danger of him being
burned for his opinion. as he would
have been in the Middle Ages.

And we should be mindful that
once upon a time men were tortured
.~ for declaring that the earth was not

" flat: and that when the fork was in-
troduced as an eating implement. it
was denounced by certain of the
clergy (in France) as immoral.

The history of persecution is an
history of endeavors to cheat. na-
ture. to make water run up hill. to.
as one put it. “to twist a rope of
sand."

It makes no difference whether
the persecutors be many or one. a
tyrant or a mob.

"A mob." it has been said. "is a
society of bodies voluntarily bereav-
ing themselves of reason and tra-
verslnl' its work.

,"A mob is man voluntarily de-
scending to the nature of the beast.

l'lta fit hour of activity is night.

f‘Its actions are insane like its
.whole constitution.

:‘It persecutes a principle: it
would whip a right; it would tar
an feather 'justice. by inflicting
fir. and outrage upon the houses
and ranks of persons who have
”Idea."

The mob in its actions always re-
lslhbles the rank of boys who run
wifli fire-engines to put out the
ruddy aurora to the stars. Was a
mob ever right?

The martyrs these mobs make can
. not be dishonored.

9’ “Every lash inflicted (on 9. mar-
.tyr) is a tongue of fame: every pri-
i‘ son in a more illustrious abode: ev-
ery burned book or house enlightens
the. World; every expunged. word
”fiber-ates through the earth from
old. to side." an American writer de-
nial“. And every Scopes trial fans
the flames of thought.
V‘J'hen the minds of men are at last
aroused: reason looks out and justi-
flo- her own. It is the whipper
'ho Whipped and the tyrant who is
, ndone.

The Annual Report

liy GEORGE T. HUGHES.
(Copyright. 1925.)

it often happens that useful infor-
mation with regard to the status of
a particular industry may be obtain-
ed from study of the annual report
of one of the leaders in that line. All
stockholders are entitled to copies of

the annual report but too often they
do not give these documents the at-
tention they deserve.

For illustration. we may take the
repart of the Northern Pacific and
see what light it throws upon the
railroad business. In the first place.
we note that in 1924 this railroad
carried almost as much revenue
freight as it did in the preceding
your. The decrease, expressed in
tons. was negligible. On the other
hand, the drop in number of pas-
sengers carried was almost startling.
In 1923 the Northern Pacific trans-
ported 4.706.528 passengers. while in
1924 the number was 3.607.9ii7. a
loss of over 23 per cent.

The chairman of the board ob.
serves: “the automobile, motor truck
and motor bus are taking more busi.
ness. both freight and passenger
each year." So far as the figures go.
however. it is passengre and not
freight carrying which is chiefly af-
fected. Bankers and investment ad-
visors are continually speculating as
to the time when the mtor business
will reach what they call the satura.
tion point—that is. the time when
enough automobiles will have been
manufactured and sold to meet all
needs and only replacements can be
relicd upon for new business. How-
evcr. that may be. it is quite evident
that the capacity of the automobile
in take business away from the rail-
road is still gaining.

The Northern Pacific report goes
on to say. “the competition of the
Panama Canal is increasing and that
route is taking a larger proportion
each year of business formerly han-
dled by the railroads." Unlike the
automobile competition. the Panama
Canal affects only the Western trans-
continental eystem. but with them
it is a very serious matter.

These facts are of more than pass-
ing interest to holders of railroad se-
curities. and not alone to investors
in Northern Pacific stock. In my
next article i shall summarize other
interesting facts called from this
some report.

Dinner Stories

"During my absence.” says a phy-
sician. "my two youngsters got into
my consulting room. where they
began to play at being doctor. Pres-
cntly one of them unlocked a door
and disclosed a. skeleton to the ter-
rified gaze of his playmate.

“Pooh! What are you 'frald of?"
he asked. “It's nothing but an old
skellington." ‘

"Wh~wh-where did it come
from?" asked the other. with chat-
tering teeth.

"Oh. I don‘t know. Papa's had
it, for a long time. I expect it was
his first patient."

 

 

 

One of the usual four for bridge
had failed to turn up’and a. friend
from next door was persuaded to
fill the gap. ‘

She had slight knowledge of the
game. and before long played the
king unnecessarily on her oppon-
ent's ace.

"But. partner." exclaimed the
host. "a king cannot beat an ace!"

"1 know that." was the reply.
“but i thought I'd let it have a
try!"

Flood of Bogus
Money in State

HARTFORD. July 7 (AP).-—A
flood of skillfully designed counter-
feits of Federal Reserve-Bank notcs
has been let loose in cities and towns
throughout Connecticut. George H.
Cohen. assistant United States Dis-
trict Attorney. stated today. Most of
the bad notes are five and ten-dollar
bills. but a few twenty-dollar notes
have also been found, Mr. Cohen
said.

The bogus money. says Mr. Cohen.
is straight, counterfeiting. No altera-
tion or raising of small bills has been
detected. The number of counter-
feits is especially large in Hartford.
Willimantic. Waterbury, Meriden.
New Haven, Torrington and Bridge-
port. Federal Secret Service agents
are investigating the situation.

 

 

A Child-Beating Judge

(New York Herald Tribune)

Magistrate Gresser's summary dis-
mines] in the Jamaica court of a
case of alleged child beating should
not pass without remark. The mag-
istrate's conduct in this instance is
so extraordinary as to invite investi-
gation. He had before him a woman
charged by the Children's Society
with cruelty to her nine-year-old
stepdaughter. An agent of the so~
ciety was ready to testify that the
child's body was badly bruised and
cut by heating with a stick. The
magistrate apparently would not lie-
ten to evidence: he refused to allow
the girl to take the witness stand.
He threw out the complaint thus:
"It is the parents' right to whip
their children. I beat my children

« so hard that they cannot sit down."

Magistrate Greseer's own practice
of family discipline is quite irrele-
vant. Whether or not he personally
appr0ves of corporal punishment.
the law will not tolerate cruelty to
children in this form. What opinion
can any fair-minded person form of
the attitude of a judge who will not
determine the facts. but rests his
decision on a blanket indorsement
of child beating? Views on the bod-
ily chastisenieat of children differ.
but outright cruelty is another mat-
ter. It is queer Justice to dismiss
such a charge. as Magistrate Grosser
is reported to have done. without
weighing the evidence.

As Revealed By the Files

The following items appeared in
file issue of Tho Evening SI-ntincl of
July 7. 1905:

Frederick Miller. a conductor on

the trolley. came near losing his head
on the Fourth. He was practically
the only one injured on the trolley
line. Mr. Miller was taking up fares
on a crowded car out of Roton Point
about 10:40 p. 111.. when he was
cracked on the head by a pole while
the car was coming through the
Burchard property at Witch
Lane. Mr. Miller was not badly hurt.
He lost his hat. which was regained
the following morning.

One of the big horses owned by
William S.‘ Slauson. a teamster for
the Meeker Coal Company. fell off
the Meeker dock Wednesday after-
noon. The tide was quite high and
the horse was in quite a predicament
until the two men in the boat pilot-
ed him to a. spot near the Holmes.
Keeler & Selieck Company's dock.
where the. animal was able to walk
out. Fortunately there was no liar-
ness on the horse and he was not
impeded in any way.

The first of a series of sailing races

and it is stated that they will be re-
vised in England.

Eugene Weatherwax. now shipping
clerk in the Ernest Simona Manu-
facturing Company, will accompany
Joseph Simona to Norwalk as one of
the foremen in the new factory to

The Bloodlhirsty

 

Female Mosquito

(New Haven L'nion)

 

it is time to wage war on the mos-
quito. While the presence of mos-
quitoes hereabouts cannot be classed
as a plague. nevertheless that pres-
ents is uncomfortably unpleasant in
certain sections. and within a few
days the female mosquitoes will be
seeking their blood meal which
they must have to mature their eggs.
Like Kipling's vampire, the female
of the species is more deadly than
the male. The mosquito which bites
is the female. She must have blood.
so she inserts her proboacis intothe
most convenient human for a deep
draught of this necessary fluid.

Since only one mosquito in a mil-
lion ever gets a mile away from its
birthplace. the mosquitoes around
every home are born in that vicinity.
Preventative measures are necessary
to be. free of mosquitoes. You should
get rid of water by drainage. If this
cannot be done. spread the surface
with oil. Repair broken or bent roof

’ztfi‘EVt

 

gutters to prevent the forming of
pools in which mosquitoes may breed.
Clean out clogged downspouts for
the same reason. Cart away tin cans.
broken bottles and other receptacles
which may retain water so that they
cannot become breeding places for
mosquitoes. In rural districts and
suburbs which depend upon cess-
pools for waste disposal. cover the
vent with a tightly fitting screen. not
less than 18 meshes to the inch. or
mosquitoes will breed in this filth.l
Cover rain water barrels tightly with
a screen cover. mesh of which is 18
to the inch. This is the only way
to keep mosquitoes from breeding
therein. If you have bird baths in
the yard they should be cleaned
weekly They are excellent places
for mosquitoes to lay eggs and for
the eggs to hatch.

The mosquito must be put to rout.
But the campaign will only be suc-
cessful to the extent that all of us
co-operate.

. CHAPTER cxxxn'.
When Lilah went to Phariey
House that afternoon Mother Phar-

ley was lying._clothed. on a bed in
her darkened room seeking relief
from pains in her head. She had
these headaches often, and she had
accustomed herself to hearing
them. stoicaily. in a. martyr spirit.
She never complained. and if she
ever mentioned them to her hus-
band. it was apologetically. to ex-
plain some neglected duty or omis-
sion. It never occurred to her
that this was extraordinary. She
accepted pain as woman‘s lot.

Lilah entered the room softly.
"Another one of your bed head-
aches. mothlirf"

“Yes. but it's better now." She
raised herself a little. "Sit down.
Did you have a nice time in New
York"

Lilah shrugged. and with half a
pause replied: "Oh. fair. We didn't
have time to see much. Rushed
here and there. like American tour-
ists in Europe. I wish I had fol-
lowed my hunch and gone to Eu-
rope and back that time by way of
New York instead 0' Montreal.
Those idiotic girls I went with
spent all their money to see Eu-

ropelnsixweelta. sndnalseedthe

 

 

best sight of all. which is New
York." '
Mother‘ Pharley was scarcely in-

terested inlthese observations.

"Did Michael meet with suc-
ccss?"
"No." Her mouth was pursed.

"What is he going to do"

“I don't know. And he doesn't
seem to know. either." Her voice
had changed. Mother Pharley
strained her eyes.to see her daugh-

ter's face. Their glances met.
Lilah's wavered.
“0h. mother! I'm so unhlppy!"

The elder woman raised herself
up to sitting posture.

"Why honey baby!" Her rese-
suring hugs and shoulder-pats
failed to comfort Lilah.

"Now don‘t be foolish. dear."

"But you don't understand. moth.
erl- Ho's—."

The voice at her side interrupted
her. "I do understand. You're
overwrought because of your con.
dition. and easily upset. You're
nervous and brittle. Unless Mich-
ael is particularly forbearlng. you'll
get along horribly for a month or
two."

To Lilah these were
words. and a strange tone.
from her mother.

“Don't new about Michael

strange
to come

tilt

 

 

may think he doesn‘t know where
he‘s going. but. he does. No wo-
man ever knows what's on her hus-
band's mind. and she certainly
doesn't help him by constantly nag-
ging him about his business affairs.
i learned long ago to let your
father handle his business entirely
alone."

Lilah was impelled to
lightly .and say: "I‘m afraid you
wouldn't be a very good undertak-
er. mother."

“Now don‘t be silly!" the other
retorted. “You know what I mean."
She took off the bandage that had
been dampening her forehead with
camphor. "If there is any one
thing a wife must give a husband it
is loyal confidence. Ey'en when he's
wrong. you must make him feel that
you know he will make the proper
amends. and that everything will
work nutail right. You've been nag-
ging Michael. haven't you?"

Lilah did not answer immediately.
“Yes. i suppose I have."

"Do you suppose you're going to
help him by nagging him? Wo-
men have been nagging men for
100.000.000 years. or whatever age
the world is, with the net result that
the only way you can get a man
to do anything. or spur him on. is
by petting him. Another thing.
you mustn't expect to be pampered
too much during this period. You
know that men have to go on with
their work Just the same.“

Her daughter‘s eyes were dry
now. and deeply reflective. Her
mother was right. She had been
foolish. She did believe in illicit-

ael. She must. she thought.‘ make
him sure of her confidence. She
arose. -

“I must be getting back to the

house to unpack. The worse thing
about going away is coming back.“
She left her mother with another
perfunctory kiss.
As she walked back to Menlow
House. enjoying the briskncss of
the air. she wondered if Michael
was thinking of her. She tried to
picture him at his desk.

And what was Michael doing?

Well, he was in his office. talk-
ing to Claudie—Claudie!

(To be continued.)

Frederick P. Fuesseiilch
(Torringion Register)

Frederick F. Fuessenich loved
Torrington and its people. That
was characteristic of him in‘ early
manhood and as he grew older it
became a great passion with him.
He always wanted to be of service
to his home people. He loved the
young people and his gift of the
park which bears the name of his
beloved wife was conceived through
love of the children and the youth
of the city.

Mr. Fuessenich leaves more than
the splendid park he gave to the
city to benefit the people of the
community he loved. He leaves the
finest example of private and civic
life. He was a good man and a
good citizen. His example is one
that the beat of us may emulate. If_
even a majority of the people lived
as he lived this would be a wonder-
ful community.

And the people have already
paid to him their tribute of admir-
ation and affection. Few men die
so universally loved as Mr. Fuessen-
ich. Death to him was his crown-
ing moment.

 

Demoniiaing Every Way
Baltimore Sun)

Refusal of a. Philadelphia grand
Jury to indict for violations of the
state prohibition act has attracted
widespread attention owing particu-
larly to its report. made in open
court. that it did not bring in in-
dictments because public opinion
was not back of the law. . . .

This is the second time a. Phila-
delphia‘grand Jury has refused to
uphold the state enforcement act. .

The Philadelphia development is
but sooth demonstration of the
impossiblll v“ of enforcing a. law to
which a majority of a community is
strongly opposed. To disregard . this
fact. is to ignore the real signin-
osnae of the incident—the demoral-
izing influence of such a law upon
courts. iariee and public opinion.

What well might seem an elfln's

And every pledge in earth I laid
That erst thv false affection gave.

I pressed them down

I placed one mossy atone above:
And twined the. rose‘s fading wreath
Around the sepulchi‘e of love.

Chicago Badly Poliocd.
(New York Sun.)

Iowa suffered front lawlessness
for some time. and then set up a
vigilante organization of the kind
now forming in Illinois. Three

ty-slx Iowans belong to it; it polices
i81 towns. and when its members
meet a bank robber or highwayman
they shoot before they psychoan-
alyze him.

The result of this is that the
rate for robbery insurance on Iowa
banks is $1 a thousand. while Illin-
ois banks are paying it a thousand.
