11F.IGN SUPREME
. Billboards along highways are
bad enough, especially when they
re perched In front of beautiful
vistas and turning what would
otherwise be a bit of pretty scenery
Into a hideous conglomeration of
commercial announcements.
But Itts when a main highway
and a main railroad line cross that
the sign ralnter indulges in a per
fect orgy of frenzied activity. The
Idea apparently is that at such a
crossing there Is an opportunity of
getting the eyes of motorists and the
glances of persons passing In trains
at the same time.
Such an orgy of signboards is no
ticeable just north of Windsor
Locks, where the main line of the
New Haven railroad crosses one ot
the trunk lino highways. The signs
that perch around that spot look
like a regiment of soldiers eternally
at attention. It Is scarcely possible
to locate grass or trees for the sum
total of raucous-shouting sign
hoards. Every color in the rain
bow Is represented, and nearly every
product on sale in any store is rep
resented by a sign. The Jumble Is
a hard strain on the eyes.
The Legislature made a gesture
at controlling the signboard situa
tion by Inflicting a tax upon them,
based upon I heir sli". The legisla
tion has ben useless except to
brire In a little more rrvenu.
tyier. ;. . rni.-l way to con-

10 di:.iH!.t ili.-m t together. They
are a public itu'wce and ought to
be controlled or eliminated just as
easily as any other public nuirance
If an actual d-sire exists to do so.
But of course, no such desire has
as yet developed In this slate. Of
the New England slates. Maine Is
the only one which has taken
summary action against signboards.

r:PRKSS COMPANY
It will he remembered that when
the committee from Ihn Chamber
of Commerce made a tour of In
spection at the New Haven railroad
station recently tt Included ninong
Its excellent suggestions one rela
tive to the American Hallway Ex
press company ofTiee, It was de.
clnred by the committee that the
present bicameral condition of the
express business In this city, where
by there are really two offices, one
situated on one side of the railroad
"depot" and the other on the other
side, and each having separate
functions, should be unified. Of
course, the advice was excellent,
but nothing has been done about
It, Nothing Is ever done about any
thing costing money around the
railroad station.
The express office In this city Is
one far below the standards In
cities of this size. It Is a monopoly,
of course, and that may have some
thing to do with It.
But conditions are changing even
for transportation monopolies. The
express business has met with
severe competition by the parcel
post system of the post office; and
by the way, compare the new par
cel post station on Court street with
the express offices at and near the
railroad station. The difference
ought to make the express company
attempt lo carry out the recent sug
gestion of the C. of C.
OVFU 14 BIIXIONS OF

That the total amount of tax
exempt securities in the hands of
the public Is $14,000,000,000, In
cluding V. 750,000,000 of Liberty
bonds and securities of federal land,
credit and joint stock land banks,
is something for the taxpayers to
think about. The tolal Is 242 per
cent greater than It was In 1D12
and represents an enoromsu tolal
of property that goes untaxed.
In the case of government bonds
there is a logical reason why they
might go untaxed; but in the case
of an ocean of state, municipal and
athor bonds there Is a difference of
opinion, and probably most, of the
public would be incline to think
such property should bears Its share
of taxation, especially as the exist
ence of tax-exempt securities makes
It more difficult for taxed securities
to compete for the funds of Inves

AN" "INVISIBLE"
TRADE BALANCE
Hotel keepers at American re
sorts are reported to be complain
ing regarding the lack of good cus
tom this year, due In great measure
to the enormous trek of Americans
to Europe for the summer or part
of it. The old adage of "See Amer
ica First." The huge Increase of
American tourists abroad gives
weight to the conclusion.
in Franco it is estimated that
Americans will leave six billion
francs there this year; in Italy the
receipts from Americans are esti
mated al three billion lire. Oilier
European nations are also listed at
relatively high sums paid for en
tertainment by Americans.
This "invisible trade balance"
does not. show upon the r cords of
International trade balances; but it
eIMs nevertheless. If Included It
probably would show a neat "trade
balance" against us.
We sell more goods in Uto for
eign markets than we buy; but we

AN "I VIA BREAK" FOR
FAME OK DEATH
l!!i :ii in ii r Sief.nisson has written
!,n ar'iele In which lie declares that
In spile of the failure of the Mae-MIMm-Hird
Arrtlc expedition the
possibility for a non-stop (light be.
1vv.cn Spit.'.bergen and Alaska wtll
be a, bright "next stitnmer" as was
the probability of Alcnck iMid Brown
Hying across the Atlantic ocean borer-
they did It In 1?1!.
All that is necessary to accom
plish the ft at, Stefansson asserts. Is
a willing in s by the flyers to take an
veti rhance with dealh. With sand
wiches and a thermos and no'un-
jmcesury extra fuel or provisions,
, the intrepid aviators need only take
a chance on landing safily after R
1.1 to :o hour grind through the air
and across the North Pole that or
die in the attempt.
The Amundsen and Ma'Miilan ex
peditions have proved that flying
conditions In th Arctic are about
the tame as elsewhere when th'
weather Is satisfactory. Unfortun
ately, tli ere appears to ba a plenti-
tude of bad flylni weather In the
Arctle. But aviatera have taken
chancea with bad weather before
and aome of them have survived.
The worst aspect of Arctic flying,
however, la not the weather but the
paucity of landing places; airplanes
cannot land on miniature Icebergs
scattered over the landscape, at
least not without smashing the
plane. And eueh an experience at
or near the North role without
provisions and dog sleds, would
mean a slow and lingering death.
The distance between Spltzbergen
and Alaska approximately equals
that between Newfoundland and
Ireland, When Alcock and Brovrn
tumped over the briny depths In
1519 they knew that a forced land
ing meant drowning. They won be
causo they took the chance.
As Ktefansson says, somebody la
going to take that trip for the
publicity there Is In H for himself,
the manufacture of the airplanes,
or for the makers of the particular
brand of gasoline used, He stangely
overlooked the possibilities and
profits of lecture toura and book
royalties.
Sfefansson need not worry his
head about the possible lack of en
trants for the trip. Just as soon as
It appeara likely that there Is an
even break between the posslbllltiea
of success and failure there will be
a few dare devil volunteers. Major
Andre showed the way; he hasn't
been heard from since, but he took
the chance.
TARING ADVANTAGE
OF PERFIDY
The New York Central railroad,
through Us New England subsidiary,
the Boston & Albany, has developed
Into the most aggressive prosecutor
of bus lines in this tier of states,
succeeding in putting one bus line
between Springfield and Worcester
out of business through an Injunc
tion and going out after others. The
Boston & Maine is shooting at a line
to Greenfield, while the New Haven
through Its motor coach subsidiary,
the New England Transportation
company, has obtained the right to
operate a goodly number of busses
between Boston, Fall River and
Providence.
The railroads are not so much
opposed to bus lines per se, but If
any are to bo operated, they wish
to run them.
But the Interstate bus lines form
a hard nut to crack. They can
start, up and aro uncontrolled and
unregulated, pursuant to a decision
of the Supremo court of the United
States. It. will take Congress to
place their regulation under the
aegis of the Interstate Commerce
commission and by the time that is
done there will be a horde of In
terstate bus lines in operation. To
unscramble the situation will be no
mean task.
The new Pilrhmond law In Massa
chusetts applying to busses is onu
of those peculiar manifestations of
legislative cerebrations that occa
sionally inflict commonwealths. The
law forces bus owners to get a per
mit to run through towns from the
selectmen, so that a bus line which
seeks to operate through eight
towns would have to obtain eight
permits, one from each town; in
addition It would have to obtain a
certificate of necessity from the util
ities commission. If one town re
fuses to give the right to traverse
the i-aorcd precincts than the bus
line cannot go through 11, and us
ually a wide detour would be pro
hibitive In mileage, costs and time.
To cap the climax. In.OOO refer
indum petitions which were to go
Into the hands of the secretary of
state at a certain time, and which
would have permitted the reople of
the state to vote upon whether they
wanted the present Richmond law,
were stolen ami not. delivered. The
thief was sent, to jail for three
months, but that doesn't alter the
fart that there will b no stale,
referendum. Th" thief played Into
the. hands of the railroad interests.
MONOPOLY ATT ETUDE
REOARBINfi STATION
The fact that, the New Haven
railroad enjoys a railroad monopoly
in these parts has something to do
with the company's reluctance in
Improving the local station. If there
were a rival railroad in the city,
one possessing an attractive station,
the competitive spirit would have
dictated the construction of a new
station years ago.
But the railroad is meeting with
bus competition, to New York and
other cities. Such competition is
sure to Increase as the years roll
by and transportation monopolies
may not alwavs enjoy the bene
firlent results of monopolies.

Questions logic of Suggestion
at Wllllanistown
We have before us excerpts of a
speech delivered by Prof. Bernadottc
E. Pchmitt of University of Chicago,
at the Wllllanistown Institute.
In part the professor said: "It may
not be Impolitic for the powers that
lule to suggest to Poland to bargain
with Germany for other port privi
leges, rosslbly Koenlgsburg or
Bremen In exchange for the corri
dor." (Meaning the Polish corridor
between Germany and Prussia.)
We hesitate to believe. In the au
thenticity of a suggestion that Po
land be given Bremen for a port,
especially when the author of the
suggestion Is said 1o be a professor
in one of the leading universities of
the country. Is it that the pro
fessor's knowledge of geography Is
so meagre, that he falls to realize
that the port of Bremen lies hun
dreds of miles from the nearest point
of Poland's boundary line?
Furthermore, the city of Bremen
Is r city of strictly German popula
tion, whereas, the corridor in ques
tion has a vast Tolish majority.
We entertain the hope that the
professor will take tt upon himself
to rorrect his errors.

With sapphire flowers that never

Of celery gold and green,
And set It on the table
With apple pies between.

Three Men Crossed the Atlantic
West Bound
New Tork, Aug. IS Not con

across the Atlantic In a 45-foot yawl,
three weather-bealeo, middle-aged
Norwegian mariners are going to sail
back home In September after visit
ing the Norse-American centennial
celebration in Minneapolis and St.
I'aul.
Following the rath of Ielf Ericks
son and the vikings. Skipper Andreas
Grlmsoe and his men drifted into
pert yesterday in what looked like a
nutshell In comparison with ocean
liners that churned up the bay.
The yawl Faehtannela has just a
lo-foot beam and a i:-ton displace
ment. She set out June 15 from
Droennoey. Norway, and was lost to
the world for 73 days, covering 3,
500 miles.
"The weather was rough at times,"
the skipper raid. "Squalls, hailstorms
and gales kept up for a month. Put
we had plenty of hardtack and pro
visions aboard. There was plenty of
opportunity of replenishing water
casks by catching rain water In a
spare sail. The quadrant we used for
making observations Is more than
100 years old."
I'iirk Wickstram. coastal pilot, and
Johan Gresgend. sailor and cook,
