ARMORIES BEFORE SCHOOLS A bill providing for the expenditure of $149,000 for a new armory at Westfield was advanced to third reading in the house this week. The nun; as The Sentinel has previously pointed out, is about the same requested for the new practical building at the HPMib -Ms been rejected. Hie Sentinel has contended that if choice were to be made between school buildings and the schools should- -come armories, first same point was made on the floor of the house by Rep. Bigelow of 'Brookline, whff recalled that provision for the-annory had been made in the governor's budget, but the item had been eliminated on tbe ground that an armory was less essential than other needed buildings. Mr.

Bigelow then cited the Fitchburg Normal school and Lowell Textile school buildings as more pressing needs. ADVENTURER DIES IN ALLEY William Bolitho should have written the life of Edgar Bouligny, adventurer extraordinary, the first American, citizen to 'be wounded in the World war, whose mortal career came to an end last month in a New alley, where he died the vic- a-gunshot jjfftunsL inflicted Jjy his wife. Scant attention was paid to the amazing life story of Bouligny in the newspapers at the time of his'death; a good story was overlooked, but aome day you may confidently expect to see in the book stores a full aized biography of the man that wal a vtatt to OrWana, wiwti ba WM a triumphant nwep- UOA.

Going back to America, he in automobiles the most picturesque at tha United Slates, Canada and Mexico, and sent photographs to numerous travel and geographical publications. His numer- and privations suffered during war made an outdoor We necessary for his health." The present business daprecaion hit Bouligny as hard the rest, despite his rifht to preference in employment as a disabled veteran. He was unable to obtain work in native New Orleans as a commercial pbolog- rapher; he quarreled with the wife whom he had acquired somewhere shot him. He walked from his apartment, downstairs and out into an alley, where he died atone and unattended. Can't you imagine the of the dauntless adventurer inquiring in sad disillusionment, "Was it for this that was spared death a thousand times in Flanders?" Without benefit of executive- help the Republican legislature is about to hand to a Democratic governor a plan to finance old age pensions by a head tax of $1 on all males over 20 years of age.

Perhaps the next Democratic state platform will renew the "demand" for a lower age limit on pensions which was incorporated in its 1930 statement of policy and aims. If it does, whose responsibility will be the Job of finding ways and means to finance the added burden? Flans are being considered for the installation -of pipe lines the release of tear gas in Auburn prison mess hall in case of riot.

Each sign will be an assurance that the particular farmer's roadside market has been inspected and approved by the state department of agriculture and that all the, products sold are of standard quality. No farmer can display one of these signs unless he conforms to sound rules and regulations as to quality and freshness of product and uniformity of pack. It will be impossible for fruit and vegetables brought out from city markets to continue to masquerade as produce fresh from the farm.

"The regulations require dial the produce offered for sale shall have been raised in Massachusetts and that the bulk of it comes from nearby farms or from tbe farm of the stand owfier.

Racketeers who have no nioifal or legal claim will sue for a share in the profits of successful books or plays on the theory that they have everything to gain and nothing to lose by tbe process. A recent suit against Eugene O'Neill over the alleged plagiarism of "Strange Interlude, resulted in a pictory for the defendant and the assessment of $17,000 against the plaintiff. That kind of result should discourage insmcerje suits.
