Of course the trolleys have not been removed fram the streets of New Britain, and some may say that they would never go downtown were it not for the jitneys. One young woman was seen the other day to take her seat in a trolley car and was ready to pay her fare, when a jitney came alang and she stepped from the car to take the other vehicle.

SOVIET RIDICULE. pub- the The “Soviet Official Organ” lished in New TYork, laughs at American note regarding recognition of foviet Russia. The note has been generally commented upon favorably by people and press of this country. The Soviet Organ says: “If the policy of the American note should prevail as the policy of the Allies there would be no Fope of peace in Europe The European masses will make peace in spite of the imper- alistic ambitions of their own rulers and in spite of any interference by the American government.' The statement says further: “The domestic affairs of the Russian people are no concern of the government of the United States, and we do not desire to insatiable enter any controversy with American ofMcials which upon matters concerning they are so ill-in- formed. The principle advanced in the if generally acted upon, would be destructive of all in- lamentably American note, relations.” Undoubtedly this Organ” takes exception sympathizing with the ple, but denouncing the Soviet 3Iov- ernment It dislikes the statement that the government here is not rep- does not express the will ternational Officlal to the note's “Soviet Russian peo- resentative of the people.

Technically the man does not want flowers. The artist has arrived from England to pick out and photograph the five American women he consid- ers beautiful, them with the has in England. One of the ter, by the way, was born in Am- for his opinion of American beauty. But what a task he has before him and how fillment ! Perhaps it is not chivalrous to call the most that he may compare five he ected well erica, which argues impossible of perfect his promised activity a task, for who could consider it such going the most beautiful about secking women in America, legitimate excuse? The great question is whether or not the women he gazes at will know his quest. Probably they will. And it they ~imagine the smiles that the man from England will re- celve. And yet, will he? Would the really most beautiful women in Am- erica smile on a man in the hope that through the gleam of their cyes, the lighting up of their faces, the coquetry of their poise, they would be selected as the most beautiful here. Literature is full of tales of the vanity of women and their love of praise and flattery. Certainly this is true of many, and the stories have the most sound basis in fact—some of them. But it is sumbitted that if artist is lured by a smile, captured by a dimple, swayed by ways of coquet- ry, he will go home without the pic- tures of the five most beautiful wom- en In this land.
