Theworld does move. Saturday night was always cor the best money night of the week for merchants. Yet sentiment is found to close down business Satur- day night on the theory that people who do their trading after 6 o'clock on Saturda could as well make all their purchases before that hour and no one would be the loser, the mer- chants getting the usual amount of cash and the people doing their shopping There are a number of good arzu- ments to both sides of the question. From the merchants’ standpoint it would concentrate trade wtihin the limits of a few hours. For the clerks, it would make their lives happier and their labors lizhter. A store clerk human and is anxious to get out ind play on urday night when the rest of the city has allowed the mantle of worry to slip from its should The buying public might claim that it was forced to endure an for hardship hours ping would be restricted, swer to that the merch point to the shorter hours of todiy compared with the hours of the past and, with justice, insist that everyone is & well clothed and fed before. Time open now as its for but nts shop- in @n- could as ever was, when the last hope of garnering might be strolling up and down the streets in the pockets of their ownors. But the principle has been pretty well established that. people will buy any- way and the hours do not make much difference There is no questioning the that the clerks are hopeful that new schedule will be put And it probable that many mer« chants are agreeable to the change on condition that it become general. New Britain store keepers, like bu ness men in every line, face a shortage of experienced and ambitious work- ers, partly because human nature has not returned from its vacation and partly because other cities offer equal wages plus shorter hours. Hartford and several other cities are closed tight on Saturd night nd there an inclination among New Britain clerks to cast th eves longingly toward those places For a time the adoption of a ney schedule might be felt in the sales receipts, but the situation would pron- ably adjust itself and after the pubiic became accustomed to the new hours the music of the cash registers would ring as loud and as long as it d 1t present merchants minute with stray dollars that kept to the fact the in effact. is a Within trolley a few hours patrons of the lines will be forced to learn a new system as the Connecticut con- | s decided to try another ex- pedient with the expectation of filling up its depleted coffers. The zone sys- tem is said to have failed to return rewards looked for d to. This might have been anticipated as the system was abandoned forthwith in other cities where it was tried because of the combined objection of the pna- trons and the fact that the system did not prove to be a magic wand to lure | money from the tired of foot. When you stop to think of it we are becoming a wonderful people. Nothing disturbs us. We remain calm under most trying circumstance: uncalled- | conditions. Perhaps it is because our powers of resistance have been low- ered and our ability to protest nas become exhausted. It was an ord2al to learn the zone regulations. Now that we_ have memorized our lesson the Connecticut company appears (again and curtly says “Forget it.” i The majority of trolley riders ac- cepted the word of the a#nductor that they owned a certain amount for Ith?lr passage.

MACOMBER HEADS FIRE COMMISSION Organization of Board Is Per- Organization of the new fire board perfected last night, with the selection of Frederick W. Macomber, recently named by Mayor O. ¥. Cur- tis to succeed A. E. Magnell, resigned, as chairman of the commission. In lieu of a regular chairman, Clerk John J. Keough presided until the or- ganization was completed. The se- lection of Chairmamr Macomber was made on motion by Commissioner ! William J. Donahue and seconded by with | ig personal | Commissioner John Tomaszeweski, the only remaining member of one of the best fire commissions in the history of the city Two Seck Retircment. One of the first matters for the new commission to transact was the ap- plication of Stephen Sautter for re- tirement, with a pension. Mr. Saut- ter, who is a member of Engine Co. No. 6, as callman, entered the fire department in 1896. Clerk Keough explained that Theodore Wilson had made application some time ago for retirement with a pension. It had been intended to have Mr. Wilson appear before the old board and state his case. This was not done, and in view of this, the commission voted to have both applicants for retirement appear before the board at the next meeting. Cooley Has Grievance City Electrician George Cooley told the board that his assistant, Harold Day, uses improper language toward him, and is insubordinate. Chairman Macomber told of Mr. Cooley speaking to him about the matter earlier in the day. The commission discu d the matter, and it was decided to have Mr. Cooley appear before the board next Tuesday evening and go into the ; matter further. speaker of national rep- 1 !

In the letter a request was made that a bill for serv- jces be submitted, but Clerk Keough explained that there is an inter-city agreement between several depart- ments, and that no charge is made for any assistance rendered. It was voted to send an acknowledgment of the letter of thanks, To Find Out Why A communication “from City Thompson was read stating that common council voted to have mayor and finance committee assume charge of the completion of the new fire station and electrical headquar- ters. After Chairman Macomber had asked why such action was taken, Commissioner Donahue added that it might be well to find out, and the communication was tabled until the next meeting, and in the meantime the mayor will be consulted. Clerk Keough reported that ' one day’s absence pay had been paid to Simon Wolfer and ~ Fred Fagg, and that Lieutenant Thomas Hinchey had been paid six days sick leave pay. Clerk John J.

The young men were accused of taking live poultry from Polico Sergeant George Kelly and Prosecutor A. W. Upsoa. man lost $18 worth of chickens and the prosecutor lost more heavily. The young men admitted their guilt. Detective Sergeant Richardson testi- fied that the boys took the chickens, put them in a box or bag, went home with them in Neurath's buggy, and maintained a chicken farm. They hi the buggy in the bushes after thell successful trip. He reported they ha many young chickens at the place. The poultry was stolen someo timé after 10 o'clock at night. The boys had nothing to say whén questioned. Judge B. W. Alling sén- tenced them to 30 days in jail and im- posed a fine of $25 and costs. A sis- ter of one of the boys broke down after hearing her brother sentenced to jail and cried bitterly. Fighter Yined. John Ryan pleaded guilty to as- saulting Kostus Kobilas, counter man at the Victory lunch, last night. A man by the name of Spitzel was in the restaurant eating when Ryan én- tered and started trouble with him. Ho left the place once, but returaéd and started another argument. The proprietor put him out and in So - doing Ryan used his right fist. The force of the blow struck over his right eyve and opened a gash in Kobilas' forehead which required medical at- tention. Spitzel said Rvan was & lit- tle drunk when hae started the tmub!e. The accused had nothing to say ex- cept that he was guilty. He was ffned $15 and costs. Had Improper Markers. LY Sebastian Diginto, whose casé was postponed from yestérday morning, on a charge of driving a car with im- proper markers, was in court this morning and was fined $10 and cests. David Sokel of Hartford, who #6i him the truck, was in court cla¥ged with tho violation of the state motor vehicle law in regard to markers. He was fined $25 and costs, but Judge Alling remitted $15. Sokel said he let the men take thc markers, but did not give them for commerciaf tse.
