That great leader of leaders, that modest French officer, Marshal Foch, Pprobably did not realize the affection in which he is held in this country until he steamed down the bay yes- terday and heard and saw. No one who did not see the dem- onstration accorded him, or who did not hear, the sirens, the bells the ‘whistles may realize what an ovation ‘was accorded this man, this Generalis- simo under whose leadership the great war was won. There was a tremendous gathering Yo greet Lafayette—when he came to this country. His services were per- rmed here. | The mention of his le brings perhaps as great a feel- ing of gratitude to the educated as . does that of Marshal Foch. His wel- come in New York was probably as ¢ sreat, comparing the size of the city B, it was at that time, to‘that ac- #corded Marshal Foch by the city of today. * Many of our countrymen have had and deserved great receptions. " But yesterday New York broke loose. Nothing was left undone that might bave been done to honor Marshal Foch. There seemed to be no doubt but that Marshal Foch was recognized . as the man, more than any one other, i who won the war. Well we remem- ber the days before he was placed In full charge of the armies. Retore _that time there came news of much . vncertainty. We would hear of Ger- s ¥ successes day after day, inter- ‘with news of our gains. ut with his coming into full rge came the beginning of daily .of our victories—until the B i end. % A“hy not New Bjitain welcome him from the distance? If there is any- thing true about mental telepathy, may there touch Marshal Foch's mind our greeting, amd may we help to " give him the feeling of appreciation which so honestly he deserves from 98 and which, pervading the land mus bring great happiness. HUNTING, AND WORK. ' There dre squirrels, phasants, rab- Bits, coons in this neighborhood. that . may be killed and eaten, ‘and other ‘amall animals perhaps. The fact that last year 500 permits for hunting were given out, and-this | year there were 750—an increase of 250—shows on the face of it that more . people intend to indulge in this past- ' time as a means of replenishing their fables But there are others who probably have taken out licenses for hunting this year when they have never done 80 before ,for other reasons than this. ‘They may hope to get somEchlng worth But above all they feel that being out in the open, taking their thoughts _saway from themselves ahd thelir con- ~ gentration as in the gamoe of golf, be- ' ing centered on something other than melf, will do them physical good.

A slogan, not too depressing, but which would bring tremencously good results, should be p)n.ced in every home in this city in which the finan- cial depreésion is not felt too kcenly. Let that slogan be remembered “Let George Do It.” CUMMINGS THROUGH, Of considerable local interest is the rumor in Washington that Homer 8 Cummings, former chairman of the @emocratic national committee, might be asked again to assume that po- sition should the present incumbent, George White, resign. That was th fitst. rumor, and his friends in New Britain, many of whom have packed halls to hear him speak, were sorry that he might wear out his energies in_such a position. There is certainly nothing in the White House to frighten him, accord- ing to the Republicans, into the fear that his labors at the next presiden- tial election would result in defeat. ‘| liis name would be published often, and he would be working cause he espouses. But investigating the rumor news comes from Stamford from the lips of Mr. Cummings that he is absolutely opposed to taking up the duties azain. “I have graduated,” were his final words, according to the reports, Homer S. Cummings’ words are] rather pleasing to those who appre- clate him. He has power and elo- quence and a convincing manner of speaking. He was not made to be a “manager.” But one s inclined to believe that he has been misquoted—that he did not say “I have graduated,” but rath- er “I have been graduated.” TEACH TRUE AMERICANISM The Americanism that teaches things es they are rather than how to make them what they should be, is a menace which will “strangle frec thought in its cradle,” said President M, Carey Thomas of Bryn Mawr the other day, If understood correctly - ths mpaning is that we should not go on, taking things, manners and customs and conventions as they are today, and make them the standard of American living, and thus ‘“progress” them, ‘We should go back, if necessary, to days passed by, when all men were judged by their adherence to the lifo and habit that had been proven good through a great- many years. The good traditions, the proven fine, otalwart and brave manner of living wero handed down to use by our fore- fathers, should remain the foundation on which to base our lives. The evil in their lives is more than counter-balanced by that in ours from which it secms we cannot get away, Eliminating this feature, equal- ly balanced perhaps, there comes the life outside which all men may see and by which we are humanly judged. Teaching of Americanism is a new and fino thing. It should receive the right sort of start. Those to be taught may not help us.

Automobile drivers complain of con- ditions along Main street on Saturday night which make it difficult for them to obey the signals of traffic officers. This condition is brought about by the glare from many lights which cause no end of confusion by blinding drivers and making it almost impos- sible for them to see with any clear- ness the directions of policemen. ' One automobilist, in discussing the situation with The Observer, said he could account for at least five differ- ent lights which tend to blind him. These are: Lights from store windows. Lights from trolley cars. Glare ffom street lights. Reflection of other lights windshield. Direct glare from headlights on other machines. In many other cities the authori- ties have adopted a spotlight system by which policemen performing traf- fic duty are shown plainly because the bridliance of the spotlight is played directly upon them and they stand of beams coming from every other di- rection. These small searchlights are placed on buildings or .convenient electric wire poles #nd are said to be of great help to autoists in obey- ing the directions of guardians of the on his The strange part of it is that a motorist can see a bent nail twenty yards ahead but can’t see a pedestrian untii he hits the radiator. \ It may be that good men are hated; but if only the good were hated, the world would be without malice for the first time in history. of today and against the practices we see contrary to the teaching we should give. s But: “The Americanism that teaches things as they are rather than how to make them as they should be is a menace - which will strangle fiee thought in jts crddle. “Airship nears finishing touches,” headline.

Solomon on Union street last night. There were six deaths and nine mar- riages recorded at 'the Town Clerk’s office for this Week.. The corner stone of ' St. Joseph’s Cathederal on South Main street was laid yesterday afternoon. Rev. Lucian Bojnowski attended the services. -Naturalization papers were granted to two persons today and the select- men made three new voters. There were 61 arrests so far during the month of October and indications women, the smaller the amount point to a record court blotter.

Hartford and New Haven, as well as Meriden, have adopted this system with beneficial results. It is felt that the day is fast ap- proaching when trafic policemen in New Britain will be equipped with whistles. It is not always possible for drivers, in a jam of cars, to determine just what, the desires of the police- men are unless he gives notice with a signal other than a wave of his arm. Numerous minor collisions are said to be attributed to this fact. New Haven gives good reports on an arrangement of red and green lights which are used at night, be- ing affixed to the traffic posts. When a policeman wishes to announce that the road is clear, the green light is flashed around. When he wants to hold yp traffic, the red light comes into view. This is a modern method for directing traffic and with the in- crease in the number of cars in this city, in conjunction with the fact that the business center is restricted to a comparatively small area, it might be taken into consideration by +ha local police commission. 3 e New Britain manufacturers are pleased—to use a mild expression which if.adquately describes their emotions—at the cancellation of the railroad strike orders. Industry here is beginning to feel a stronger pulse throb, a reflection of conditions improving nationally. There is a better *‘sentiment,” a feel- ing that the upward curve of. busi- ness is traveling at an encouraging rate and that the gloom of depres- sion is passing away. Quite an improvement is said to have been noted in a number of fac- tories during the past month. The mammoth plant of Landers, Frary and Clark has a larger number working than it did several weeks dgo. This is partly due to the fact that “Uni- versal” household goods are in great demand as gifts around the holiday period. = The beautiful electric ap- pliances and cutlery for which this company is world-famous makes splendid presents and as such are wanted by the trade. It is re- assuring to hear that the Russell’& Erwin division of thg American Hard- ware corporation is also going to al- low employes to work longer hours. Merchants who cater to the ulti- mate consumer are also happy at such good news because they know that their patrons will have more money to spend and they can go out, and buy ‘mors stock, thus helping all around. A railroad strike just at this time would have set New Britain back seri- ously. The removal of its threat will probably give local manufacturers THE OBSERVER MAKES RANDOM O:SERVATIONS == ON — THE CITY AND ITS PEOPLE. more heart to go ahead on the road back to normal. ‘e Speaking of local merchants, New Britain has been fortunate in the many genuine reduction sales held during the past summer and fall. There has been a disposition on the part of dealers to give the public every op- portunity to buy at reduced prices. The recent “Even.Dollar Day” was only one occasion when it was possible ta stock up at figures unusually low, The complaint that religion is los- ing its attraction for present genera- tions would seem to be fully answered by the attendance during the past two weeks at the mission held at St. Mary's church under the aus- pices of three priests of the Oblate Fathers. The visiting missioners were gratified at the attendance dur- ing the series of services held for women duing the first week and they are equally as happy over the en- thusiasm shown by the men during the present week. The priests are well endowed with eloquence and members of St. Mary’s parish, as well as other parishes, are-taking advan- tage of the opportunity to listen to their splendid sermons. The visitors have made many personal friends during their temporary residence in New Britain. . .’ Worshippers at Protestant churches are looking forward to the arrival of Dev. Dr. Goodell, a regowned religious j scholar, who will con‘uct a series of services in this city next month. Ac- cording to present arrangements, the meetings will be held at some central church convenient to everyone who desires to attend. Judging from ad- vance information, Dr. Goodell is one who preaches strong, logical sermons which put new faith into those who hear them. Ministers and laymen are tawaiting his coming with grqwing in- terest. His visit should be productive of good results with reference to the attitude of local men and Wwomen toward religion. e Attention ot ‘“New Haven” railroad officials invited to an improvement which cah be made in the schedule of ‘a singleé ‘train which would have its advantagés for New Britain folks] without working any . hardship on others. As the schedule is now ar- ranged, patrons of the road who live along the line served by suburban trains and who may be return- ing from Springfleld at night are forced to experience an unnecessary delay becuse a “dinky’” which might be otherwiseé popular, leaves Hartford at 9:27 p. m,, three minutes before the arrival of the 9:15 train out of Spring- fleld. This means that those who ride on that train must wait in Hartford until 11:30. New Britain residents can complete their trip by trolley—not an agreeable. change in cold weather— but those living in Plainville or Bristol must compose themselves on a bench for a long wait. This fault in the schedule could®be corrected by rear- ranging the time of departure of the 9:27 and it should be attended to be- fore winter descends on the land. ses Strap slippers will again be in vogue next spring and summer, accordiag to, those who forecast women'’s fashions. This style had its innovation in Paris in the summer of 1920 and quickly spread to the United States. More strap slippers are being sold by shoe dealers throughout the country | than any other type, it is reported. Many of these are ‘fastened Wwith buckles, an innovation that would hardly have been thought of two years ago. Others are fastened with fancy buttons or rhinestone and cut steel ornaments. Needless to say, the lat- ter are not found on slippers worn by the average. person. ‘Women readers of this column will| be interested to hear that white foot- wear will again be popular when spring and summer come. A recent shoe journal says: “White footwear will make a' further gain next spring and summer, since white extend its sphere in neariy every division of woman's wear. For example, white will be given additional representation as a background for printed and em- broidered figures in novelty cotton goods which are to have a large sale. “White will also make a further gain in combination with black in pretty nearly every accessory worn by well-dressed girls and women, such as gloves, hats, .shoes, stockings, bags and other minor details of dress. “Combinations of black and white, white predominating will also gain in faver, expecially in oxfords, finished with low heels. No color can compete with black in combination with white where effective contrast is sought. The materials used will be white duck and cotton fabrics especially woven for white shoes, together with buck ard kid.” Go to it, ladies, say we. v oees New Britain members of the Hart- ford Advertising club—and there are many of them—will be pleased to hear that the club won second prize for the organization registering the largest number of enrelled members on,the ‘day before the big convention ofjthe Direct Mail Advertising Association in Springfield this week. This honor will be deprecated by some on the ground that Hartford is very near Springfield and should make an unusually. good showing. But it should be remembered that the Hart- ford club has taken on a new lease of life only in recent years and. al- though it is now healthy, it is in reali- ty only a youth, as organizations go. Many members of the club were at the convention for three days’ busi- ness sessions. The attendance from all standpeints was remarkable, estab- lishing a high water mark. Interest in the Roger Babson ban- quet and lecture before the Hartford club on November 8 has reached such a point that it may be impossible v accommodate all who wish to attend Reservations are now being made through the club secretary. This is an event to which business men flock from miles around. Mr. Babson spoke under the®auspices of the club last vear in the banquet hall at the Hotel Garde. The attendance was so latge that many were unable to enjoy the supper because of lack of room, and were alsq torced to stand during the address by the noted economist. An officer of the club was overheard say- ing that a day or so ago that only as many tickets as there are seats in the Greater Bond hotel banquet hall— the scene of this year’s gathering— would be ‘sold. So,it behooves New Britain club members who desire to hear Mr. Babson to file their reserva- tlons at once. * “ ARMS STACKED Gabriel D’Annunzio, and rebel of Italy, spapped on a balcony of his, villa at Gardone, northern Italy.'
