The airplane in its present form is strictly an American invention to the fact that is advantage in war was made use of more quickly by the countries which entered the war be- fore we did, the invention was carried farther and progressed more quickly in England than in this country When the war ended there much enthusiasm shown here in con- Owing was tinuing the progress made elsewherc. National refusal to recognize the tre- mendous possibilities dampened that enthusiasm. Then came the plan of Englishman to buy up old war planes of that country and sell them here By this arrangement they would he able to undersell Americans, and yet reap a rich profit. But were it to be carried through there would be a fail- ure of the industry here. At a time when men of New York are just be- ginning to commute to their homes n means of alrplanes; encouraging reports are being Long Island by when made by airplane transportation com- the passengers recently through many secutive days, the importance of this decision cannot be overestimated.

New Britain young women and their swains are indignant over the activities of the Newington constables who are reported to be stealthily gumshoe- {ing along the turnpike ready to pounce upon young couples who dare so much as to hold hands in auto- mobiles. It is apparent that the limbs of the law never were young or were disappointed in love, or some- thin’ because they direct their efforts persistently, it is said, toward inter- } fering with Cupid's well laid plans, even going so far as fo hale the young men and women before the court on charges that might seriously affect any girl's future if they became public. It is a popular custom for young folks whose hearts beat for each other to go scooting out into the coun- try evenings in automobiles. In the good old days our fathers and moth- ers used to tie the reins around the whip socket and let Dobbin eat grass, or wander along the roadside, while they embraced each other. Unfor- tunately for the boys and girls of today, you can't let an automobile take care of itself and it is therefore necessary to draw up at one side of the road and stop while sweet noth- ings are whispered back and forth, while the moon comes up and the stars flash a wireless message of good cheer. According to those who claim to know, it is at this crucial point that the sleuths sneak up, grab the inof- fensive lovers by ‘the neck and ejac- ulate: “Come with us by heck! Y'r a coupla desperit criminals, too des- perit to be footloose in this here taown.” The moonlight fades, the stars retreat imto their blue play- ground and the “desperit criminals” are taken to the calaboose and charged with numerous and sundry offenses, principally parking a car without lights after dark. The constables have become so per- sistent, autoists report, that a num- ber of girls of splendid character whose only offense was holding hands and reciting “When you were a tad- pole and I was a fish” have been in danger of being held up to public view as being women of lax morals. It will be remembered that a few years ago Newington constables struck terror into the. hearts of motor- cyclists and gathered them in By wholesale to answer to the charge of speeding. As a result the bucolic de- tectives waxed rich, their money com- ing in plenteous quantities, more than sufficient to cope with the rise in the cost of living. At times there were crowds of cyclists in the court- room and despite their denials that they were violating any speed regu- lations, the constables swore to the contrary and in most cases fines were imposed. ¥ Newington cops must be funny peo- ple. They arrest you for speeding on the highway and they arrest you for lingering along the roadside with vour best girl tucked up against your heart. This latter is a shame, say we. If a young man can’t make love on a country road these warm evenings where can he 3 4 Mayor Dutton of Bristol—“Joe” to his friends—gains the inside track for the democratic nomination for congressman from this district by an- nouncing that he is to be counted as being in the race. He is the first to enter the lists since the announce- ment of Congressman Lonergan of Hartfqord that he will not be a candi- dat or re-election but will his private law practice. If affability could elect a man, “Joe” Dutton would be sent to Congress with unanimous electorate behind him. He is a genial person who a makes pleasant company and who has {ihe faculty of keeping friends once | he makes them. I Mr. Dutton has been mayor of | Bristol scveral times, his last election ! being by unanimous choice, both | democrats and republicans nominat- {ing him. This proves his popularity in the Bell city and, while such an | clection could not be expecied in the j district, it would go ~nite a way to resume convince republicans in other sec- tions that the Bristol republicans were very fond of their young execu- tive. Since he has been mayor, Bristol has taken rapid strides and has become a progressive community with modern ideas. Some of these ideas have been born in the minds of the manufacturers while credit is given to Mr. Dutton for others. The Bristol mayor has a wide ac- quaintance in New Britain, where he is always certain to find friends or acquaintances. He has taken part in a number of our civic gatherings and parades. Although he has for some time he is thought not to have made any enemies who might interfere with his aspirations. Taken all in all, democracy would do well to consider him well before casting around for other candidates. been in politics The Observer respectfully lifts his hat to Henry Trumbull of Plainville, | a man and a gentleman, for his kind- ;| ness and thoughtfulness in offering facilities for camping to New Britain boys who might have no vacation were it not for his courtesy. Mr. Trumbull owns property in Plainville ideally situated and sufficiently wood- ed to afford all the relights of “campin’ out” to imaginative young- sters. He has made it possible for New Britain boys to enjoy a taste of wild freedom under the guidance of competent adults, a new ‘“‘crowd” going from New Britain every week. | naws came from the west tne: E ct. U lines the busses simply parallel “the service of the trolley cars, giving little relief because those who use' the jit= neys can just as easily use the elec.y . tric vehicles as both run about at t! same time. As the trolleys were here first they should receive prior com. sideration and the jitneys should be obliged to maintain a schedule in be: tween their rivals. This would ef- fect a real improvement in the sery- ice. & Those whose business takes thém to the vicinity of Bast Main and Stan- 1ey’ streefs report the need of a traf- fic_peliceman at the intersection ‘of those thoroughfares. Hardly a day passes, it is said, that an accident does not occur at that spot although fortunately none has been of a ser- ious nature. Since the turnpike north of Berlin has been closed for repairs autome- biles going to Hartford or New Haven have been forced to detour thréugh _ New Britain, and Stanley street hasf become a popular route. Strangers do not seem to be aware that the corner of Stanley and East Main street is a breed ng spot for aocki- dents and conseucentiy clashes arc frequent. If the police departruent wou'd s‘ation a traffic officer’ there an improvement would probably be noted. New Britain democrats feel satis-* fied that the strongest man was nom- inated at San Francisco in Governor Cox of Ohio and it seems that demos cracy’s stock has risen. It is cer: Tt is cers Mr. Trumbull is the kind of a man | ain to be a live campaign, free from of whom any community should be ’;puse and mudslinging if the leadere proud. He rose from the ranks by hi® own efforts and no doubt appreciates what the average family has to con- tend with. He is the head of a happy organization the Circle T Fam- ily—whose electric products are known wherever electricity is used. In addition, he is public spirited and his purse is always open for the benefit of Plainville and deserving people who live th-re. He likes boys —and anyone who likes boys proves by his very acts that he is a man with a big heart. So we'll say again, we respectfully lift our hat to Henry Trumbull of Plainville, a man and a { gentleman. Regardless of the merits of the man Gilpatric and Alderman Paonessa !at the meeting of the common council on Wednesday evening, the city should take immediate action with respect to the future status of its transportation facilities. It will do no good to wait until the horse is stolen to lock the barn door. Common council action after the city has been deprived of trolley service, which is not at all improbable, will be too late. What is needed is ac- tion without further delay. A com- mittee is said to be investigating the relations of trolley and jitney. If | the investigation is no more success- ful than other city investigations the information gained will be of little use. t+ The writer believes Alderman Gil- | patric was sincere in suggesting that j something be done now. There was | little excuse for Alderman Paonessa | dragging in the defunct railroad com- { mittee. The people don’t care about what happened or failed to happen last vear to the transportation sys- tem; what they want is action today. If New Britain is to retain its trol- personal disagreement between Alder- ; of both political factions have thefs way. Both Governor Cox and Senatot Harding are gentlemen. The lattgti, showed he has sporting blood whi he wired such courteous congratul tions to Governor Cox. If the pet politicians who believe a campaign § no campaign unless it is scarred an marred by verbal abuse of the rivall, candidate will remain silent t country will be spared a humiliatii experience and watch a contest wagéd along dignified lines, as it should be.

Alas for phophecy. Some ti the writer predicted that Jennings Bryan would wield ¥ sive influence at the San Francisec affair. It would seem from accounts of the convention that Mr. Bryan wass * { numbered among the “also rans” a that his influence counted for nil. | f PREFERRED SNAKE TO WIFE.
