The building boom of 1025 was

Thero may be nothing especially
new about the fall of the Trench
franc. It has happened so often
that whatever news there was
connected with it has worn off long likelihood that he will be success

lowest depths in i's history that 'on guard against the attempts of
there is real n w value about Hi" i his society to exercise such quasi-
plunging coin. This it has done in i
Taris, when it. went, down to 3 1-2
cents, breaking its "row" of March,
1924. In New York It remained a
little higher than tl " low record
of 1024. but scarcely enough to no
tice. This is serious business to the
people of France, who are (hiding
themselves handling money that
compares 111 wllh rial money. As
the franc lowers the prices of com

living soars to unheard of propor

John S. Sumner, secretary ot the
New York society for tho preven
tion of vice, is busy trying to get
the New York legislature to pass
a law allowing a circle of his
friends to. censor literature. He has
been at ihis for years, but at each
session of the legislature, has had
failure for his pains. There is no
public function
Kad as some of the literature is
that finds its way upon the news
stands In the guise of art, it is un
necessary for such censorship at
the source of publication. It is
given to any city or town to elimi
nate the distribution of Improper
literature, there being a sufficiency
of laws for the purpose in every
stale. There is no reason to believe
that an anti-vice society would bo
more than a pestiferous nuisance
if given jurisdiction over what we
may read. As usual, the wrong
books would be suppressed and the.
'worst would continue In circulation.

Iiouhlli'g the minimi appropria
tion to the Hartford coun'y farm
bureau leaking tho appropria
tion from tho county JIO.ooq In
tend of $5,000 wns the tenor
of one of the resolutions passed at
the annual meeting of the county
legislators. There are some Indi
viduals In the county who do not
regard the farm bureau Important
enough to receive double rations
from the county exchequer, al
though such an authority upon
farm matters as Governor Trum
bull was quoted by Senator Irlg
ham of Granhy as approving the
higher appropriation,
When It comes to a matter of
common logic it would seem there
Is no call to donato money from
the public funds to any private or
ganization of farmers, any more
than It would be deemed logical
to donate county money to an or
ganization of manufacturers. In
some parts of Hartford county cer
tain kinds of farming are deemed
important, especially tobacco grow
ing; but so arc other industrial
pursuits Important. The farmers
should be expected, when they
have an organization, to stand
upon their own feet.
The Increased appropriation not
only should not have been allowed,
but no money at all should have
been appropriated for such a pur
pose. It constitutes a raid upon the
public treasury.
Many regard the chief function
of the farm bureau as being seml
politlcal rather than agricultural.
The American Farm bureau is the
backbone of the farm bloc in Con
gress, which has been endeavoring
to get what amounts to a subsidy
from the government for price-fixing.
CURBING A GRAB
OF WATERSHEDS
All largo cities as they grow ad
vance their water supply to cover
vast areas, depending on rivers and
the lakes In the effort to provide
drinking material for their inhabi
tants and such other purposes
for which water Is a necessity. It
Is not surprising, therefore, to find
their necessities constantly jarring
In watershed areas' which are
needed by other cities and towns.
And now Connecticut begins to tako
notice of the designs of metropoli
tan Boston in endeavoring to
snare the watershed areas of west
ern Massachusetts.
Nothing of tho sort would be of
interest to Connecticut were it not
for the fact that the Connecticut
river depends upon certain streams
in western Massachusetts for a part
of its water to carry to the Sound,
meanwhile serving the Connecticut
valley in the state in divers ways,
including the manufacture of
power. Consequently when Boston
engineers figure upon diverting the
Ware and Swift rivers to other
courses making them run back
wards, in fact it is meet that
Governor Trumbull should take
notice. The Connecticut Ciiamber
of Commerce haa also condemned
the project.
New York has gone far upstate
In Its lookout for water and has
built aqueducts and darns and
guards its lakes liko a mother car
ing for a brood of youngsters. Chi
cago has reversed the course of tho
Illinois river, has lowered the
Great Lakes In so doing, and has
aroused the Ire of cities as far cast
as Buffalo. Boston has virtually
annexed tho watershed possibilities
of central Massachusetts and has
one of tho most extensive water
supply systems in the country-; but
the necessity for growth seems
paramount if the future is not to
find a dearth of water for Its In
habitants, and the project of utiliz
ing the Ware and Swift rivers Is
merely one of the schemes involved.
Connecticut has defiled the Con
necticut river until it is no longer
fit to bathe in, and Its one-time
pure water partakes of the charac
teristics of a sewer, so that even
fnough water without harming the
fish find it difficult to live therein.
But the state nevertheless needs
the river and the threat of Massa
chusetts must be properly mot.
Boston should be able to obtain
Connecticut.
Come to think of It, a candidate
for mayor has to do a terrible
amount of talking.
Perhaps the Washington chief of
police who told his bluecoats to be
very careful how they strike un
ruly prisoners is afraid of Injuring
an occasional congressman.

Drive Collector Tells How Funds
Are Solicited
Now York, March S3 W The
technique of high-pressure salesmen
who tap the tear ducts and pocket,
books of "suckers" In fake charltj
drives is described today in The New
York Evening Post In an Interview
with Larry Taylor, professional
drlvo director.
Tho article is the second of a ser
ies telling how Now Yorkers annual
ly give up $10,000,000 in contribu
tions In fraudulent charity cam
paigns. The entlro United Stutcs
given out $100,000,000 to tako chari
ties, the Evening Post cstlinntes.
Taylor's latest "racket." a drive for
the international nanaottc crusade,
Is now being investigated by Assist
ant District Attorney Pecora.
Any organization ostensibly char
itable can get endorsement from
men In public life, he said, and
these names so impress the suckers
that they break their necks to send
In checks.
Armed with such endorsements, or
even using names of prominent per
sons without authorization, Taylor is
saying, adroit telephone sajosinan
call up persons on their "mooch
lists" or "sucker lists."
Good salesmen make from $300 to
$600 a week, he said; In Vila first
"charity racket" ho lined up $1,000
In donation pledges In three-quarters
of an hour ontha telephone.
Taylor was quoted as saying that
he had raised money in a fraudulent
campaign for the blind and In an
other campaign of "The American
Society for tho Nervous." When he
asked his employer where tho sana
torium for the nervous was to bo
built, he was told not to worry about
that, that his job was raising the
money.
Vanity and tears are the best ap
peals, Taylor Is quoted as saying.
Promises to print contributors'
names and pictures in magazines de
voted to charities have great appeal
among public men, a good sob story,
a drive to provide cripples with
crutches, for instance, is of even
greater value. Cash sent to head
quarters for doubtful charities, fre
quently disappears long before it
reaches officials. "It depends on
who opens the letters" Tajlor says.
Man Is Marooned on Top
Of Gigantic Ferris Wheel
New York, March 22 WP) The big
ferris wheel at Coney Island, the
highest in tho world, ran yesterday
in honor of tho arrival of spring. It
stopped at 6 o'clock. Hours later a
policeman, leaving tho deserted
beach In the wnke of the crowd, saw
a liny burst of flamo from the top of
tho wheel. Ho also heard a cry
from the air.
Tho owner of the wheel was skep
tical, but finally consented to turn
on the power again. As each car
came down the policeman peered
into it. In one of them he found a
huddleU figure, who first said: "I got
left high and dry very dry," and
;h"n Identified himself as Miles
Kehoe of Jersey City. He might
have been left at the top of the
wheel all night had he not set fire
to his handkerchief and waved it in
the air.
