CITY MEETING BOARD Because of errors of execution or judgment there will be another city meeting board session two weeks from last night. Every new organization makes its mistakes before it gets going well. But it does seem that boards and people should look ahead a bit before submit- ting their proposition to be finally acted upon. Almost any intelligent person knows that the difficulty in selling bonds, great at present, would be enhanced when those bonds were founded on action by the School Board, the Com- mon Council and City Meeting board which approved something else than that for which the bonds were issued. There came up a proposition to au- thorize to build a school house and to buy lands therefor. That was not what the money was wanted for at all. Money was wanted, $400,000 to pay for the school and to buy other lands entirely. Such is the confidence in the school board that the resolution might have been passed had it not been for the remarks of men of prominence Who pointed out this difficulty. One of these was A. J. Sloper, known to be familiar with such matters, Law may be exceedingly technical, and many may become angered when prevented by a law that seems to make Gseless their desires. But law is a pretty good anchor to hang tofand it is far better to do a thing legally, where there will be no “come back” than fo do it illegally, no matter though there my be no intention of there being anything done which would be wrong, and which might be questioned +later. If'an inquisitive person were to go over the transactions of the Common Couneil it is quite likely it would be found, law has been considered light- 1y. The man who is very technical in handling these propositions is often irritating, but he is very valuable. On a matter of this importance the result resolution should be shown to the Corporation Council and receive his approval of it before hundreds of persons are called to act upon it, THE STRIKE Those virgins were wise when they trimmed their lamps, and those who did not were foolish. But, being wise, the former were happier than the latter for they knaw that they were all ready. We are getting ready in this state tér any trouble that may come, but becduse we are ready and have taken the trouble to get ready that makes all the more reason for our ceasing “to worry. Governor Lake in writing to the New York Times, says: “All the resources of Connecticut are being marshaled to insure a continu- ing supply of food to our people, and immediate steps will be taken to con- serve necessaries. Everything possi- ble will be done to prevent suffering and distress and to preserve law and srder in the event of a railroad strike.” But wouldn’t it be wise to smile as we. would if those beautiful lamp ‘rimmers bade us to and read with some pleasure of the fact that the railroad officials will confer with the workers Wednesday; that the Labor Board hs ordered the Rail Strike halted, asserting it has power to act in the crisis; and to read the opinion > W.

In the event of a strike, Fov. Allen says, she will take hold of the railroads themselves, if the man- igers do not do so.

Later the Jourt decided that seven millers must teep on turning out their product and smploying men to do it—the employ- ars obeyed.

The fairy tales of long ago wouldn't do at all today. Who ever heard of a King, felt that he should econorhize? Was there ever a real King whoseson met and married the beautiful milk- maid, who did not wear jewels to such an extent that it hurt him? He could not go outside, in public, aniess he was riding in a white coach, drawn’ by four cream white horses, at least. Imagine him in a Ford, even in goggles. Sver must he be scated in a great chair. Almost was the breath he breathed made of gold. Perhaps that is the reason so many ‘of .those kings died and left the beautiful prince, with flowing locks, to lead to the piace by his side, the modest, de- mare little milkmaid, now far more fo be admired in her silks and jewels, than she was milking the old cow with one of the modern inventions fastened to his tail to prevent the girl from being hit with the tail as the tail was afler the flies which undoubtedly bo*hered the animal even, that happy time. But today there is a king only about 3,000 miles away who-has it an- ncounced that owing to the great need of economy His Majesty cannot afford to fit out the Royal yacht Britannia for the yacht races next year. “This is a great disappointment,’ says the announcement, “as there is no sport he enjoys more.” who or at Of course he might sneak to the races incognito. It seems peculiar that there is a “he” in the announcement. Isnt it always ‘His Majesty’ or ‘The King’ or some such characterization that incapable of misconstruction. & If the said “Royal Yacht” were in or near New Britain, any of us would be apt to say: “Georgie, old boy. its your money. Go ahead, fit up the vacht, have your fun as we like to have it but fitting it up properly at charges we would make would help g pay the landlord.” is MINISTERS AND DANCING. In New York there i3 a certain clergyman who does not approve of dancing. There may be many more. But this clergyman has been singled out by a professional dancer and has been invited to come to see his dancing partner and himself in their art. Moreover this dancer is going to call together all the dancing masters in New York and ask the minister to be present at their meeting. “They will prove to him that dancing need not be prohibited. I shall ask them,” he continues, “to use their influence in having the ‘Shimmy’ the ‘Chicago’ and other rmovements eradicated.” The clergyman in question replies that dancing is fundamentally wrong, and can’t be anything else when it necessitates the hugging of both sexes. If the clergyman in question is as shy in his knowledge of dancing, as he is in the clearness of his expres- sion, who is he to say that dancing is wrong? For one of his remarks was, “I have had all sorts of efforts of these men to get me to commit my- self in some way.” Soms are sensuslly affected by dancing as some are ser.sually affected by music. But why damn all dancing, all musie? And why did the clergyman adm that he “has had all sorts of men, etc.? Why did he “have them make" such efforts.

TURKS ROUTING THE GREEKS’ FOOD ARMY Give Supply Column Much Anxiety in Anatolia ! With the Greek! Army in the field, Sept. 80.— (The Associated Press) Mustapha Kemal’s daring cavalrymen and irregulars who are scattered about Anatolia have given $he Greek Army a great deal of anxiety by their attacks upon Greek supply columns and their bold attmpts to capture the Greek Gen- eral Staff. Crown Princ# George of Greece had a narrow escape from injury in one of these Turk surprise attacks and was hurriedly taken to a place of safety. It was the first real danger he had ex- perienced since he came to the front. ‘While the Greek army was advanc- ing toward Angora, thousands of these Turks in the rear of the Greek line, were a constant menace to the Greeks communications. :They turned up when least expected. They advanced quietly to their positions at nightgand began their attacks at daybreak. When the Associated Press corres- pondent was at Uzumbek, south of the Sakaria River, several hundred of these Turkish horsemen descended upon ‘the village and attempted to carry off the General Staff, including General Pa- poulas, Commander-in-Chief and Prince George, They shelled the barracks and tents of the Greéks and kept up a steady rifle and machine-gun fire. One of their shells fell within 40 yards of Crown Prince George, but for- tunately it did not explode. The Greek General Staff was pre- paring to move 25 miles nearer the front, and the Turkish assault from the rear took them completely by surprise. Only, the fact fhat headquarters had 300 infantrymen available savedgthe whole Greek executive gorsanization from Capture. . Had the Turks come the day before they would have found only & hand- ful of men to oppose them, a¥id it is probable at least a part of the Greek staff would have fallen into their hands The Turkish cavalrymen galloped across the low 19ing hills at daybreak and took up positions about a mile from the village.in which Greek G. H. Q, were located. At the sound of the alarm from Greek sentries on the crests General Papoulas qrdered every,avail- able man, even clerks, typists and or- derlies, to take up rifles. The Turkish shells and bullets were humming over- head. Within a few minutes the Greeks had several hundred men ready to answer the Turkish attack. The enemy’s fire was so hot and close that the Greexs were able to advance only slowly. They were soon joined by other forces, how- €ver, and after two hours of sustained rifie and machine-gun fire the Kemal- ists were obliged to fall back. They then took refuge in the distant ravines and valleys and the Greeks re- turned to their work ‘of transferring G. H_ Q. to another spot & KABER DEFENDANT FREED Mrs. Colavito, Fourth to Be Tried for Cleveland Murder, Acquitted Cleveland, Oct. 22.—A verdict of not guilty was returned last night in the trial of Mrs. Emma Colavito, charged with complicity in the murder of Daniel F. Kaber, for which Mrs. Kaber is now serving a life sentence. Mrs. Colavito was the fourth person to face a jury in this case. The others were Mrs. Kaber, Salvatore Cala, also found guilty and sentenced to life im- prisonment, and Marian McArdle, the daughter of Mrs. Kaber, who was ac- quitted. - FLOG TWO TEXAS NEGROES Notice to Editor, Signed “K. K. K., Says, “Yes, We Did it.” Denton, Texas, Oct. 22.—TWo0 negro boys were taken from jail at Pilot Point last night and severely flogged by a band of unidentified men. W. J. Miller, editor of a Pilot Point paper, today found a notice on.his office door reading, “Yes, we did it. This should be a warning to all loafers and lawbreakers.” The notice was signed “K. K. K.” Whether it is because they do not realize the seriousness of the situation or have® become inured to hardship, the people of New England do not seem to regard with any degree of alarm the impending railroad strike. True, efforts are being made to list all automobile trucks which can be mobil- ized in case of emergency, but this means of transportatfon will be found to be far below requirements in case thae railroad men do go out. New England can be cut of! from the outside world by a raiiroad strike almost as effectually as if a vast chasm werae suddenly opened on a line be- ginning at New York city and running north to the Canadian border. The greater part of our supplies for com- mercial and domestic consumption pour in over this imaginary line Jike a Niag- ara. Coal, steel and iron, which form thae backbone of our industrial enter- prises, would be held back and in case ot a protracted strike their shortaga would result in prostrating manufac- turing plants everywhere in New Eng- land. The majority of industries have a supply of these products on hand, but not enough to tide them over a long period, it ia'believed. While the commercial situation would be bad, the human situation would be worse. New England, onca the agricultural pride of a growing na- tion, has beaten its plowshares into automatic machinery and must face the consequences in case of a food shortage. From the garden empirel of the middle west and the thriving markets of Chicago, we receive most of our edibles. We are absolutely de- pendent on these sources of supply. It is unlikely that there are any larga stocks of food in storage in New Eng- land warehouses. Should the railroad strika eventuate the situation would become serious and it might become necessary to commandeer évery avail- able truck to carry food irto the do- main of the Yankee. : ° However, there is a ray -of hopa in the news from the battle front. It i3 apparent that the leaders of the union- ized railroad men have no desire to see thae strike become an actuality®and while their words may sound confident. they probably do not reveal what i3 in their hearts. ‘So far as New Britain is concerned, the railroad men can look for no sym- pathy. Workmen here have received deep cuts in their pay and they can- not understand why railroaders should not do likewise without whining. “Strike and take a beating in the end,” seems to sum up public sentiment here. Mayor Curtis’ letter to Secretary Hoover of the Department of Com- merce describing how New Britain has handled the unemployment situation maken an interesting document which should be permanently preserved for the benefit of posterity. If possible, it should be incorporated in {he nex > Report, although, strictly speaking, it is not a part of municipal! business. In years to come, citizens will be able to read, if the accounting is thus preserved, how New Britain faced the situation and gave a good account of itself. It will be an important chap- ter in our history and as such it should not bae overlooked. Certainly, if any city went seriously about the business of giving work to needy breadwinners, that city was New Britain. Forcea wera organized well and while blunders were no doubt made and will contigue to be made, the work was typical of an ipdustrious Connecticut community. A3 & conse- quence of the efforts of all concerned in the undertaking, there has been a minimum of want. to everyone aas could be desired, the work was well distributed.
