That is to make time restrictions for | vehicles parking on the business | thoroughfare.

Such a rule might seem unjust and hard to some men who are went to leave their cars in front of their offices all day long, but the time is coming when this will have to be done and the sooner the hetter. Then cars would have to be left on side streets as they are in Hartford, Waterbury, New Haven and other cities where they have well regulated traffic. . .- The visit of famous Buffalo Bill here with a wild west show during the past week recalls to the mind of many the days long since gone when the biggest circuses in the country were wont to include New Britain in their itinerary. For more than ten years Lowever, the higger shows and circuses have side stepped New Britain hecause of lack of adequate transportation and grounds. But there was a time when the biggest in the world exhibited here and performed before thousands of people.

So, too, does former representative E. W. Schultz, who, some thought might seek re- election. On the democratic side there seems to be very little doing. Daniel B. O’Keefe and former alderman Michael T. Kerwin are said by some of their friends to have the legislative bee buzzing in their bonnets and may be candidates for representative.

Generally speaking the public likes to co-operate with public servants and in this connection a little more thoughtfulness on the part of women shoppers would save an immense amount of unnecessary and tedious work for the young women and men clerks in our stores. Everybody knows that the stores close at regular hours and Saturday and Monday evenings close at 10 and 9 o'clock re- pectively. Why, then, is it necessary the shopper to wait until a few minutes before closing time before entering a store to make purchase ? The clerks have worked hard all and ititled to quit at the pointed hour, they must as long do customer If the put themselves, in on the other side of the fe to say that the lot of clerks would be a much on for a day ap- remain are e yet the would as customer their minds, counter it is the store easier one. certainly are People are queer individ- They never perfectly satis- When one condition exists they for another and having at- tained that are still not satisfied.
