They had purchased three tick- ets for a quarter or more at that rate. President Storrs of the Connecticut company asserts that this reduction cent cent s six per of sixteen greater than the per lowering in operat- ing expenses that has come. He as- serts that the reduction was made voluntarily in good faith to seek to proye to the people that the company wants to meet the needs of the people as rapidly as it is able. Every effort has been made to con- vince the President of the Connecti- cut Company and the public utilities commission that the people feel the company would prosper more decid- edly under the six-cent fare sought by the transpartu‘tmn committee of the common council. No decision has been given on the city's petition this matter as yet. Undoubtedly the re- sult of this slight reduction will be watched with keen by the commission and the company. Peo- ple who are obliged to ride on the trolley, no matter what the fare is, will make use of the tokens, will save that cent and two-thirds every time they ride. They have to do so, many of them, to make ends meet or more nearly meet. President Storrs not helieve this reduction mean more receipts for the company. Such was his attitude at the recent hearing in Hartford. People of New Britain doubt if it will mean more receipts for the company. They will accept the slight benefit of the small reduc- “tion not in the spirit of *small favors thankfully received” for they do not holle\(- they are asking something in the six-cent fare to them aione, it because it in interest apparently does will * that will be a favor but they will accept the price set by the company they are forced to patronize. But putting aside all feeling of prejudice against a com- pany which will not be convinced that what they say urge is true, the ‘people will still pin their hopes on the.commission appointed to serve thein, in the earnest belief that granting their request for the lower fare the commissign would be serv- ing the interests of the company also, and will be granting justice, is and in A DRAMA OF TOMORROW " Scen The White House.

Yet there is good reason to believe the thing possible. There is good reason to believe also that as man may commit mental suicide to escape physical pain so may a person treat himself mentally that mental pain will not hamper him—that he will be able to train himself to meet Ife's misfortunes in brave spirit which will refuse to be conquered by them.

SOVIETS PREPARED T0 CONGEDE GRANTS In Return However, They Must Get Gigantic Loan w, Mar. 1. (By the Associated The oviet delegation to Genoa will carry instructions to grant all concessions demanded, provided a big reconstruction loan can be ob- tained, If this loan cannot be ar- ranged, then, from the Russian point of view, the conference has only the moral value of recognition of the present. government. he hasic reason for this attitude is the famine. It is only within the last few weeks that the leaders of the Soviet have realized just how desper- ate is the food situation.

In the Kuban, where there also is food, hostility to outside shipments has been active since last summer. » SILVER TIDE IS RISING Skidding of a Buekboard Leads to the If the Discovery of Mine Which is Yield- ing Much Ore.

Mary was found guilty of violating the liquor laws when arraigned in court several days ago. Since it w her second offense, Judge G. W. Klett ordered a continuance until such time as' her children could be taken care of ‘while she worked out a sentence. It as found in the meantime that such a course was inadvisable. Today Mary was before the court for sentence. After warning her that she must stop making and selling booze, the court imposed a fine of $200 for maintaining a place having a reputation for liquor sales, and $100 for keeping booze with intent to sell.
