Tor the eleventh consecutive week reports from Norwalk show a gain in receipts from the five-cent fare over the receipts for a week under the ten-cent fare, It is argued that this line in Nor- walk is on@® where the lower fare will work especially well because it con- nects two centers of population. This is the Connecticut company's argu- ment to support its contention that the lower fare in other places would not work out as it does on this line. Again it is respectfully submitted that where the total number of pas- sengers passing between two centers such as exist in the case of the Nor- walk line, is not equal to the number of passengers passing through one center, into which lead all lines, as in the case of New Britain, the same rules would apply with equal force to the one greater center, in the middle of the short lines, as obtain in the case of the two smaller centers at the ends of the one line. In other words, the receipts would follow the same rule in the case of New Britain as that by which they are governed by in Norwalk. The lower fare would work here as well if not better than it works in Norwalk. All of which is respectfully but persistently submitted for the consid- eration of the public’ utilities com- mission. in ne COMMUNITY DRIVE. Pledges for the payment of what should be considered a “fixed charge’ will be sought the last of this month. The drive of the United Community Corporation, which handles the money for the various welfare, semi- educational organizations in the city, will be begun March 27 and will con- tinue until April 1. The sum of $35,- 000 is to be sought. The sum mst be raised; raised. Especially this year money needed, and this year especial- ly those able to give should give free- ly, making the difficult work of the collectors and solicitors casy possible. And especially this year should the solicitors understand the situation of the people. No New Britain man likes to ask for aid in happier. In the unemployment crisis it was shown by data obtained at the employment agency that people were loth even to apply there for work. Not until forced to do so did many who were in danger of losing all they had gained in a life of hard work s jobs through this agency. There are many in the need the help of the funds collected by the United Cemmunity Corpora- tion.

Nature must have known what she was doing when she made the arch of the foot flexible. Why defeat her pur- pose by lacing the foot to a rigid sole? In ordinary shoes, stiff and unyielding, the foot lacks freedom. Such shoes weaken the muscles by prohibiting their movement; they impede circula- tion by binding the foot. But the Cantilever Shoe is fl‘\lhlv, like the arch. The shank is pliant, it bends WITH the foot. In Cantilever Shoes the muscles surrounding the small bones of the arch grow strong be- cause they can exercise freely. Cans tilevers correat and prevent flat foot by strengthening the arch in this sane, healthy way. The last of a Cantilever Shoe is patterned from the outline of the foot. The natural inner sole line pgr- mits the toes to point straight ahead as they should for comfort. This and the well-set heel encourage correct posture, In Cantilevers you can walk or stand for a long time without the fatigue you feel in other shoes. Cantilevers for men, women and children.
