The Observer had occasion to be coming down Main street Tuesday noon and arrived at the railroad crossing when the gates were bei lowered. Like the trolley cars, the automobiles, and the teams, he stop- ped to allow the train to pass. Many of the pedestrians took a chance on running across in front of the on- coming Ireight and the rest walked inside of the zates and seemed to see how near they could come to the freight without being knocked aside. The freight stopped in the middle of the crossing and som fleet ofoted ones hopped throush the space be- tween the cars. About six young men did this, and one of them was severly jostled about but landed on the other side much to his own amusement. The freight again stop- ped so that there were about four cars overlapping the end of the walk. This condition of affairs acted as a tempter for the women to iake a chance too, so they ran around the caboose giving fully a foot between themselv and the end of the train in it should back up. At one time the train shivered which made the ones near it jump a little, but out of about one hundred chances nobody was hurt. But that is not saying that somebod will not be hurt if the practise of taking chances case This habit called and a ing that if of taking a _chance with for drastic meth3f in w\ was ena®ed u- on W hit by an automobile or train, he was arrested. The force of this law was never brought home so strongly server as when he witnessed the wild orgy which existed at the crossing last Tuesday. The practise is not al- together a new one for people about the street have commented on it from time to time, but the majority of the people are not aware that there a law in this state making a person liable to a fine for being on railroad property when the gates are down, and it would not be altogether out of order to have a policeman at the crossing to refresh memories on this point. Since it has been the ill fortune of the City of New Britain to be with- out professional league baseball team for several seasons through the absenge of a sufficiently large number of fans who could spare the time from their daily labors to attend thLe games and thereby lend financial support, the question of amalgamat- ing into one strong club the many teams now in the city has been brought forth. It is the opinion shared ) many that such an organization couid do more to put New Britain on the sporting map than can be hoped for under the present system. There can be question in the minds of anyone who has followed amateur baseball in this city but that there is an abundance of material for the formation of a first class club. The factory league has done much to bring forth new material. In the line-ups of the Pioneers and teams may be found players whose calibre ranks with that of many leaguers. The idea of the proposed team would not be to do away en- tirely with the veral other but her to sacrifice to a extent so that the resulting might be one worthy of New and would attract not only attention but might seck vond the state lines. The season has passed the half- way mark and will close shortly. Be- fore the curtain drops on baseball this year, the Pioneers and Annex clubs will battle for the city ch pionship and, as those clubs have won recognition as the best in the a no Bri state-wide honors be- Annex | taken, | to The Ob- ' ,city where this collecting is ‘made restricted and garbage 1 ‘furnished cots { present day THE OBSERVER MAKES RANDOM OBSERVATIONS — ON — THE CITY AND ITS PEOPLE. city, an opportunity will be given fans to mentally frame a line-up as pro- posed. Should someone interested in New Britain sports come forward during the winter months with a pro- position to establish a bigger and bet*er New Britain team it is believed that his recommendation would be met with favor. I“ollowing the announcement cf Councilman Reginald Towers that he had purchased a house on Harrison street, there were frantic efforts on the part of the politicians in the sec- ond ward to piece together the mosaics of political fragments and thereby get a solid front for the pos- sibility of taking the vacant place in the council. Alderman Gill started the tongues wagging when he left his house on Maple street, caught in the tide of high rents and tenement scarcities— so we are told, to move temporarily to the first ward. The possibilities Rutherford, Walk- er, and others were frantically re- viewed in certain circles. Such nervousness, however, was all “fall de rall doll” for Gill is going to move back to the faithful second and Towers isn’t going to move at all. So now the “solid second” has resumc the even tenor off its wa Collecting garbage at certair be preferable to the ma- Jjority Df people who have had the misfortune of meeting the wagon on the street in the davtime. The odor emanating from the garbage wagon on Main stret in the middle of a4 hot day in summer is not altogether pleasing and passersby, young and old, never fail to register disgust in a facial manner. There are many residents living in the center of the done in the day time.

The T. A. B. society did its utmost and in its large hall for visiting members. But cots in a hall are not conducive to pleasant dreams or dreams filled with nice thoughts of a city which can’'t furnish a zood clean bed. New Britain is a big city but its benefits are not big. The city needs a new hotel, a large hotel, and a hotel that can be boasted of. Pity the poor fortune teller in the of the Ouija board. ¥or now the romance-loving people con- sult the “oracle of .board” rather than seek the glimpses into the future by crossing the palm of a mystic person who reads the fated fates. In days gone by, a fortune teller could fur- nish thrill upon thrill for the solace seekers but now “‘faithful Ouija" does the same thing at bargain prices. To back up his arguments, The Observer ill refer you to the rocking chair Drigade at any summer watering station. With the Great War over, citizens have settled down to making a li ing apd business is going on in the usual ‘way. Mostly everyone can look back to war days with a certain amount of pride, for there are men and women who went in the service, men and women who did essential work along war lines, welfare work- ers, and workers who labored night and day in the factories harder than FACTS AND FANCIES B With the feminine styles they are, even the rich eke out bare existence. what a A man he keeps, keeps. is known by the company but also by the dollars he Two lemonades will fill a stomach TH'ONLY PLACE THEY DRINK This STUPE % AT that beers. formerly accommodated fifteen If the Pole would avoid a hole, he must cultivate control Political talk reigns now. reigns but t bores.

The factories in New Britain have received citations from the United States government for ding war work. Everyone connected in any way with those factories has a perfect right to be proud of the fact that they took a part in the work which served their country well. But, it should be remembered that a citation does not mean much when it is not seen. A factory citation hanging in a trophy room of a New Britain World War Veterans' Me- morial building would mean much more than actual wealth and would be a great source of civic pride. Hats off to W.

He is a New Britain man and the type of citizen who is always active and hustling for the nothing slow about the official who realizes New Britain is growing and asks Congressman Lonergan for a bill proposing an appropriation of post office.

Councilman. Gorbach has resigned as a member of the common coun-il. He has not time to devote to public offices. He served faithfully and well and was known as an exponent of things proposed for public welfare. He was_a constant and faithful at- tendant at sessions.

Norton has retired {rom active work at the post office and seeks a more secluded life. It was with the greatest pride that The Herald printed the story of his career in its columns ¢n Thuraday night. Reading between the lines we sees a life of constancy of purpose, a life filled with a consciousness of personal duty and a striving o ac- complish the same, and a life of contentment by a character beyond reproach. For the past five years Mr. Norton had been affected by the shock he suffered from six years ago. Yet he did not stop, but kept on working and giving all to his em- ployer, Uncle Sam. He served his country from the time he was 20 vears of age for it was then he was wounded three times in the Civil War. A record such as the gentleman has made is an enviable one. It compares favorably with that of the mighty Babe Ruth in his line of work. of the 102nd U. Infantry themselves with glory in France. One of their comrades, who slept over there for many moaths, will be honored by them on Sunday when the funeral of Sergeant f(.euon Roberts of Plainville will be held in that town. Again the 102nd will cover itself with glory for the military men in charge of the funeral report that nearly 200 ex-service men are expected to be in line on that day. Roberts was a member of Company I of New Britain. That unit with Co. E of this city and Co. D. of Brisiol will turn out to a man. The Plain- ville boys’ death was particularly sad as we recall it. He was through with his war work and was ready to sail for hcg:e with his comrades when death asailed him in the form of pneumonia. His parents desired his body returned and it is now here for burial. The people of this vicinity will have a chance to see how com- rades loved their dead when they witness. the massive military funeral Sunday. The body has been guarded 24 hours a day by American Legion men since it arrived in the neighbor- ing town last Saturday morning. Men covered S. A deal of uncertainty was thrown into the local political camp by the action of Tennessee in ratifying the suffrage amendment, thereby provid- ing the necessary 36th state and giv- ing the women the right to vote at the fall elections. OIld timers here are asking what is liable to happen when the feminine ballot is thrown onfo the scales, particularly what is liable to happen to the Old Guard of the Nutmesz State, and they are .sk- ing from a world which cannot tell. Conjecture is rife. The navie, and by the way a new role for its adopter, Brandegee, long an opponent of the ballot for women, announced in his favorite journal, that women would vote as they pleased, wherein both political parties will be fooled in their efforts to capture the women. The Senator had a good reason for not wishing to have Congres go too far’'in suffrage, explaining that it was a matter for state action. He is per- fectly right from a parliamentary standpoint, but it is certain that he did his level best to block any .lction{ in the state of Connecticut, although Governor Holcomb must bear most of | the blame for refusing to call a spe- cial session. l This announcement that the women | will vote as they please is certainly indicative of no deep thought on the part of the Sefator, rather does it damonmxe his knowleg‘g of ‘women. this is Sen:itor have told that same thing. They cer- | tainly will vote as they please. But. now the question arises, how will they please? And we are hopel2ssly sidetracked. Miss Ludington, of the Connecticut association gave an indication that most of the women who have bscn directly aligned with the fight will take a sudden and decided fall out cé» the leaders of the republican party in the state of Connecticut who have seen fit to place as many stumbling blocks as they were able in the path of the amendment's progress. In n undertain words she said-so—and it will not be surprising if the womeif should remember that the Nutmeg state was utterly lacking in chivalry, and, through its Governor sought a, parliamentary subterfuge to deny thi ballot. This suffrage fight has interest- ed many hard workers for the right to vote. It has not interested so man; who were opposed to women voting> | Of course, the great majority of thq feminine sex was uninterested one way or the other. But, the exores- sions of opinion as given by those whg have expressed themselves at all bodes ill for the machine as it is now composed, and the only way to bust the machine is to vote the opposing ticket. Certain it is that, for the good of the party, the present bosseés * are not going to step from theif thrones and give away to anothe! more progressive clique upon whom they have no strings. Reacuonlsm dies hard, and carries everything with it in doing so. There have lived, even in New Bri- tain, certain self satisfied males who have floudly proclaimed themselves the better halves of their domestié outfits and who have asserted un,i their wives will vote as they do. They are. right in some cases, undoubted- ly, but are wrong in others. We do not pretend to be experts in womaf pschychology, we cannot tell how the women will vote, beyond predicting that they will vote as they please as did Senator Bradenmgee, but we have a premonition that the attitude of Governor Holcomb and the lead. ers who are behind him, toward suf< frage, is going to play an u-npurmn, part in the election. i o e NOTICE. = LANDLORDS’ \"EVT[OV The rent committee is trying to se- cure tenements for some of our worthy families.
