Yesterday the Governor heard the special transportation committee of the common council of New Britain. The reduction already announced was mentioned, but there was apparéently no indication what the governor will do about it. The arguments previously made concerning the trolley fare in this city apply today, after this proposed re- duction has been announced, with just as great force as they did last week when the matter was discussed and those arguments stated. A re- duction of one and two-thirds cents will not meet the situation. Neither will* the receipts of the trolley com- pan¥’ be swelled apprectably by the adoption of. the new rate, nor will the people be satisfied. Adequate receipts and an appeased people are insepar- able. The, receipts will never reach a sum satisfactory to the company until the people are convinced that they are being treated with fairness. The Connecticut company must gain the good will of its woild-be patrons before those fpeople will become pa- trons in fact, unless there should come aAime when the state, through the commission, ox;enly refuses to recog- nize the comfort and welfare of the people and forces them to ride in the way they determine whether the peo- ple like it or not. The special committee will recom- mend, probably, a six-cent fare, with no transfers, within a radius of two miles of the center. This is a con- cession of one cent to the company over the amount popularly believed to be falr, but the committee evidently wishes to display so great a disposi- tion toward fairness that it may not be accused of failing to look at the matter from all points ofview. This is the situation in this city. People in New Britain are not in a position to judge what would be just in other Jlocalities; it would be pre- sumptuous to do so. It is not presump- tuous to insist that they know, better than others, the here and to work unceasingly until that situa- tion is recognized and justice is grant- ed. situation SMALLPOX. No one In New Rritain need get in a panic because Bridgeport is worried | over the outhreak and inerease in the number of cases of smallpox there. But no one should fail to note the fact. When a fire breaks out in one building of a block the people stand back and wait orders of the fire chief ot those authorized to give com- man The people recognize that the firemen know hest what should be | done to put out the fire and to pre- vent its spreading. There is no hes- itancy In obeying those orders One of the first things the fire chief does is to order the adjoining build- ings protected by throwing water on them. DPeople recognize the wisdom of this move In the matter of health, the super- intendent of the health department and the members of the hoard as- sume charge; they give certain orders When they danger nearby their frst vent its spread into their jurisdiction. The orders of the superintendent of health and the health department must be obeyed as promptly and as unquestioningiy as are the commands of the fire chief and the firemen. They are informed on the best means | is to pre- see from tronble thought the to- such a conception may be seen recognition which is being given day to one’s health. The figures which show the growing average length of life have encouraged men and women to carry even:further than they have been:perfected, the habits of living and eating and care of self which have done so much to make men and women live longer and keep happier and'to make thelr lives more efficient, Publicity is given to the plan be- cause of the danger that some perfect- ly innocent guest, knowing of the plan and whispering his number to the waiter, might be suspected ,of Whispering something in regard to prohibited things—such, for instance, as liquids. A person may hereafter whisper to his waiter in perfect safety, He must be considered to be a suffer- er from some harassing trouble, and fhe words he murmurs must be con- sidered to be perfectly harmless words such as “Number Five, if you please," Bronx cocktail, quickly.” \ and not THE PSYCHOLOGY OF IT. Every person who appeals to crowds of people as a part of the day's work must, in order to be know what is called the “psychol- ogy of crowds.” e must know, in other words, what effects words, gestures, attitudes, sounds will have upon a crowd. He must know what will sway them, what will anger them, what will soothe them. This is the stock in trade of the successful actor, the public speaker, the exhort- {34 minds being studied for the purpose of find- ing how to influence them. It is no longer a theory that, if it is possible to get a v people concentrating on one thought, that thought will have its effect upon others of whom the many are think- ing.

PERSUADING THE A man announced that seven Wy- andotte pullets belonging to him, laid 1,501 eggs in 440.64 minutes last year.

The Lright, cheerful notes of the gay mu- wo d took from rs sic it play the that tired feeling, gave them new en crgy and sent them home refreshed, rather than worn out from the hours cf toil. -It is not intimated that such workers were hens, young or old, The effect of a long continued mon- otonous sound on the human brain is well lenew. i least drowsi- is induced. cep or at nes; Why the particular buzzing of the mechanism chosen by his talents this inventor who turned to assisting the hens to do their work was the particular sound that was successful may never be known. There is no reason to doubt its efficacy, however.
