There is little doubt as to the desires of a majority of the voters of this community for a repeal of the eigh- teenth amendment as far as it per- tains to light wines and beer. Whether or not the return to the usé of such beverages would be a good thing is a matter upon which tvery and every woman is entitled to his or her opinion.

The mayor of a city swam out to per- form the ceremony. People are being wed far up in the air. The bride is throwing kisses to various people in different parts of the country, her affectionate action being born on the wings of the radio. It is needless to stop to wonder in what jurisdiction the marriage at sea would be held to been per- formed, should the matter of divorce ever come up, and should the tide have carried the happy couple over the extended line of separation of two states while the marriage was belng performed. There {s little use to speculate as to the jurisdiction which would apply were the marriage in the air to be performed while the air- plane safled over three or four states. These things are quite beside the point. In the dim past one remembers a marriage being celebrated on a plat- form at a county fair. Great was the consternation of the populace that two people could so far forget the sacredness and solemnity of the af- fair to allow it to be performed at a spectacular exhibit of this kind. But this is the sole occurrence from out of the past that indicates any thought of lightness in connection with the marriage ceremony in the olden times. Today! Perhaps it {s characteristic the times to treat the marriage ceremony as all in the day's Perhaps it is considered to be an un- have of | important affair which, if wrong, may | be righted speedily through the di- vorce courts, The novelty has not | come merely because the afrplane has SIMPLE Go to hed an hour earlier tomorrow | nigl habit of wak- | ing u 17 you are in the at the hour most convenient for you to go to work, you will v up convenient the regular one going to work it makes littic not you hour Just ke | Monday morning at the hour most | for you to go to work just You had sleep find same wi You wi work ave your | every- to ho usnally goes at the time y 1o, Actually difference whether or have turned your clock an ahead Your fe the cloe id, his vou will be| same, and if you do move ahcad no onc in your hous probably, wil char been made But will find that is Tt 1 will Just @ jittle more ple Monday find that like lasted the noticeable, the 1t you wsant for you is a fine it summer wari Ve has seeme beeau the 80 long, If the day benefits you receive but ey sami houschold, or v the Lhe would he well wn present circumstances to turr clock an right whep ome wher Sorue year, and 1 day people wil the THE DENTAL CLINTC, denta thronugh the he begun of the Work | wa con inon counci their realizat] clinte | 4 40 a of the emer The common wor a0 out Main it matter out of t 18 of the health department anc ed it ¥ under cor of the The ‘ troi iepartmert | tion capital brought the chance for this sort of nuptial ceremony.

HAROLD LLOYD in A SAILOR-MADE MAN” 5000 Feet of Laughter 1922, —~ THE OBSERVER - On the City Makes Random Observations and Its People ez e s cmmmws s e S 1t cannot be sald that Paonessi has falled to carry out his election promise to make chunges in City hall from roof tree to colfir, Al- {hough w cleaning such as he is mak- ing has been promised by other cam- palgners in the past, this is the first time that an elected candidate hus put info execution the pledges he made when he wags appealing for support at the polls, “I'1 clean out City hall,” has been (he cry of many candidites within the past few years. Such a slogan ap- pealed to the many people who are ulways qulck to belleve that a man who holds political office is not bur- dened with laborious tasks, and would avoid them if he were. When muyors of other years had an opportunity to make wholesale changes, they hesitat- ed to do so and usually retained an unexpectly large number of commis- gloners who had held over from pre- vious administrations. . Shaking up the municipal family 1s not always conducive to bhetter gov- ernment. Men who have, occupled publie offices have experience in the functioning of their commissions which no awmount of application can offset. 1ixperience must be absorbed over a long period ol time. When a new mayor dismisses office holders who are familiar with the duties at- tached to their post, he is putting aslde a valuable asset, experience, una leaves himself open to a self-imposed risk for which he must suffer the con- sequences if his big shells turn out to be duds. By dismissing so many commis- sioners, the mayor has deprived him- self of the counsel of some very sub- stantial citizens and busines There are some whose services could have been retained with advantage to all concerned. It is unfortunate that they should have been in the way when the broom began to sweep. There were also men in public of- fice whose removal will not even cause a ripple on the surface, They were simply appointed as payment for their efforts in behalf of past admin- istrators and their,absence will hard- Iy be noted. New commissioners will have this advantage—the head of the admMi- istration has had eleven years ex- perience in public office, all the time in intimate contact with city busi- ness. He should be able to advise and direct his subordinates so that they can avoid errors of judgment and execution and perform then duties satisfactorily. . Deposed republican salaried officials seem "to be taking their medicine gracefully, accepting their fate as inevitable and to he expected when the top side becomes the bottom and vice versa. ,The shock of a democratic victory numbed G. O. B. office holders for few days but eventually they realized that they would be forced to walk the plank, as disagreeable as that procedure might be. Most or them have become reconciled to being separated from their salaries and are putting their houses in order. It is said that the republicans are planning a counter-attack through their majority in the common councu and it is predicted that the jubilation of the democrats s to be short lived. According to the program to be fo lowed out, a resolution will be pre- sented in the common councll calling for a reduction in the salaries of ah public office holders. As the repubii- cans have a safe majority in the council, they will be able to put through any legislation which their little hearts desire and will therefore make a raid on democrats’ salaries even if they cannot control the ap- pointment Some republicans are opposed te any such measure on the ground that it would show poor sportsmanship and lay the party open to the charge of playing oheap politics. There is another reason which Might be taken into consideration, the reaction mighu be so strong——the majority of people iking to see everyone get a square deal—that it might result in a demo- cratic majority in New Rritain nexc fall when a congressman is to be clected. News that eéx-Mayor Curtis was to be appointed chairman of the water commigsion came as a decided sure prise to republicans and democrats alike. The position carries with it a sulary of $1,000 and is considered one of the best plums at the disposal or the mayor. Democrats became aroused Mayor men. | because they Fad their eye on f\e thousand and there are plenty of de- serving democrats who could maly good use of it Kepublicans, particu- larly those of the Quigley faction, felt that the government could manage to stagger along without the assistance of Mr, Curtis, Some of them frankly admitted that they would breathe isier if Mr, Curtls were out of pofl- ties entirely. In fact there was al- most as much opposition among his fellow republicans to his securing the thousand dollar office as there was from democrats, According to most recent information Mr, Curtis will not be appointed. Residents of streets radiating from |Shuttle Meadow avenue, or in that | vicinity, are agitating for the removal of the ice house which now sprawis on the shore of the pond used laat winter for.a skating rink, According to common report, the owners of the |1ce house cannot harvest ice from the pond in the future bhecause it is sus- pected that the water might be con- taminated. 1f such s the case, this lwould be as good a time as any to removed the huilding which has seen better days and has a weather beaten and unsightly appearance, The ice house is the principal de- terrent to the expansion of that sec- tion of the city as a community of | homes, 1t forces itself upon the view from nearly every direction and spolls the natural scénery thereabouts, If it has served the purpose for which it was built it could be torn down with- out causing any serious heartburning among those who sea. its unprepos- sessing sides no matter where they look. “xe A business man whose hair has been silvered by the passing years gave ex- pression to his feelings a few days ago in this manner: *“The past decade has been devoted to thes attainment of quantity production; the next dec- ade will $e as much thought and energy concentrated on distribution— the finding of bigger markets.” He was seated at the time in the club car of a fast train to New York and was sharing with a few friends the wisdom which he had accumulafea through extended contact with the world of commerce. His companiona agreed with him, one of them say- ing: “I have a boy who is just grow- ing into young manhood. I am going to train him to become an expert in methods ofe distribution. This s where the big money is going to be made within the next few years.” The foregoing is printed for the benefit of young men who are won- dering what their life's work will be. It reflects the opinions of a greatr mapy men who have reached the plateau of success from which they can look about them and observe in a broaud way what is taking place in the world. The United States is a commercial nation. It is true that we supply vasr quantities of food to all countries o~ earth but the food would rot in the ground unless certain men had spe- cialized on distributing it through the most economical channels to points where it is most needed. The produc- tion problem is well in hand, but a finlshed article is only an asset on which money can be realized; the big Job is to move it out of the stock room and this cannot be done until someone sells it. More and more, captains of indus- try are given their attention to the discovery of new markets or the crea- tion of greater demand for their goods in old markets. Intensive efforts are being made everywhere to sell more, to distribute their products fo cvery possible point where they can be used. Everyone has heard it said that if a man makes a better mousetrap than anyone else the world will beat a pathway to his door even though he live in the depths of a forest. That method of doing business has been demised these many years. The man who waits for the world to hew a road to his factory and to demand his goods has a long wait coming. The more modern way is to go out into the highways and by means of advertising and up-to-date selling methods, tell the world about your goods. Getting the product into the hands of those who can use it is the point on which efforts are centered. The young man who will begin now to give serfous study to distribution— pushing the sale of manutactured articles—has a bright future before him. He must begin at the bottom and ADAMSON’S ADVENTURES (Copyright, 1922, by The Bell Syndicate, Ine.) learn h part thorough Improvements where he can and not paying too much attentlon to prece- dent or the way the other fellow does it. Originality, if based on sound réa- son, will count for much in the long run. Given average intelligence, hon- estly applied, the young man who foT- lows this advice will some day find himself occupylng a well-paying posi- tlon and enjoylng the respect of his business aasoclates for having solved the problem of the next decade—get- ting more goods sold, .« Rerlin brick manufacturers report that prosperity has returned in the form of a great demand for their prod- ucts, Orders have been recelved by a number of plants which will keep their forces occupied steadily for sev- eral months to come, Bullding is dn progress in full blast—although it is slow to plck up in New Britain, Con- sequently the prosperity wave is beat- ing against the shores in Berlin and both employers and employés are happy at the prospects of a busy summer and fall. o Rah, rah boys aeem to be breaking Into the limelight.

LIS The much abused word “Sterling” has found an active champion in Che Sterling Silverware Manufacturers’ as- sociation which has asked retail jew- elers all over the country to bring to the attention of customers the real meaning of the word. 'The purpose of the campaign is to educate the public to the fact that “'Sterling” is only an- other way of saying “Solid Silver.” In the course of a communicatfon sent to jewelers, the assoclation savg: “It's a fact—the great American pnb- lic at large doesn’t even know w¥.at ‘Sterling’ means in a jeweler's win- dow; doesn't know that ‘Sterling' is the trade mark for solid silver. “We have made Investigations at exhibits and style shows heid by prominent jewelers in both large and small cities; and with placards and signs profusely proclaiming ‘Sterling Silver’ the gmestion ‘Is it solid silver?’ is asked by visitors 50 to 100 times more than any other question.” "xa Joseph M. Halloran's candidacy for the democratic nomination for con- gress has been well received in dem®- cratic circles and not a few who are popularly supposed to be republican voters express the opinion that he has a splendid chance of winning if He is nominated. Hartford has monopolized the nom- ination for many years, sometimes with success but freqiently with fail- ure. New Britain has given the Hart- ford democratic candidate good sup- port, in proportion to the large nor- mal republican vote in this city, and it would not be out of place far Hart- ford to step gratefully aside and ex- tend its support to a News Britain candidate. Mr, Halloran would make a strong candidate, if he could secure the nom- ination. He s stronger in New Brit- aln today than he has been since he was defeated for the mayoralty nom- ination several years ago. He won the good graces of many who were luke- warm toward his ambitions by the manner in which he kept his pre- primary pledge to support Mr. Paones- sa, if the latter won the democratie mayoralty nomination. It was sald after the last municipal election that if Mr. Halloran had been the candidate he would have given Mr. Quigley a worse beating than Mr. Paoneéssa did and might.even have carried the entire ticket into office. It does not require a close analysis to detect sympathy for a more liberal interpretation of the eighteenth amendment to the constitution. Mr. Halloran is a total abstainer from al- coholic liquor and therefore his at- titude in favor of abolishing the pro- hibition law {s all the more unusual. It shouid bring him increased support.
