This has been done it is claimed in the gas conservation and smoke re- duction campaign of the Pittsburgh station of the United States Bureau of Mines. The new fuel is composed of coke dust and particles of soft coal. It is sald to aid in conservation ot gas, reduce smoke, and to be a more efMeient heat producer, Probably Pittsburgh buy coal. All the millionaires there. It cannot afford, however, to keep on being known as the city where more smoke may be seen than any on earth. For this reason Pittsburgh is niost interested in the smokeless, or near smokeless aspect of the matter. But New Britain would like to know more about the cost and the quantity of heat produced. “Necessity is the mother of invention” i§ idle phrase. Were the price of coal 10 re- main as high as it has been lately some new fuel would come to take its place. This is as sure as anything human can be. As in the case of the trolleys, which we need and must have, a constant rising price will bring something new. can afford to live where else no tiat it Is diMcult of decision the most conscientious.

UNEMPLOYMENT. New Britain is better off than most cities of like size in the matter of un- employment.

Dear Sir: Through the columns of the press we learned this morning that a police- man had Deen dragged from his bed, arrested and charged with manslaugh- I ter for doing his duty in South Nor- valk when he shot a notorious burglar plying his nefarious trade. Such a | procedure, if it be true, would seem to | be a joke; and a reflection upon any | intelligent community as well as the encouragement of a menace that must ' eventually reach olit all over the state, ' A community charges a policeman with the maijntenance of order and gives him a revolver for the purpose of enforcing it when he sees the ne- cessity of using it, but it would appear that in the particular case recited above when the occasion arose, and practically in self defence, he is not | commended for doing his duty but | has imposed :pon him the ignominy ot | arrest, inconvenience, indignity, men- | tal agony, and all for what simply be- cause he has done what he takes oath to do and what every decent, law-abid- ing citizen of the community expects him to do and what the tax pavers pay him to do. It would seem to me that the action of the prosecuting attorney in this case is an encouragement of crime and a polite invitation to all burglars to make South Norwalk a rendezvous, because certainly no policeman in his right mind would care to molest or in- terfere with this cls of criminals when he knows tf will not be upheld by those who charge him with the maintenance of order or run the risk of personal and perhaps perma- nent injury and to be perhaps arresied in addition, If a he Police Department means anything it =should be backed up by the entire community from the hum- blest citizen to those who sit in judg- ment, and the quickest way to dis- courage an eflicient department and destroy its morale is by just such a procedure s has | n adopted in South Norwalk, if reports are to be credited. Let us have no such farce comedy here but give the police every encouragement to carry out their sworn duty and make New Britain a place to be avoided by criminals and a place where law-abiding citizens can feel that they and their hoines are safe from those who would “break through and s=teal.” Let us have more police men of the calibre of Clune and Dor- ney and one less of the calibre that would discourage their efforts.
