Discussion by interested readers lead to a little further com- ment on the same subject. Time there was when the city was virtually divided into two sections and a person lived either “north of the tracks” or ‘‘south of the tracks” marks ‘“nprth of the tracks" are the old Burritt school, the Hotel Bronson (formerly the Strickland house) and the building at the corner of Main and Myrtle streets, formerly the Hotel Bassett. Th¥% latter building, although remodelled and changed, still contains the of which the original was made, and |years ago, back in the real pioneer | days, there was an oid Indian Trading Post on this site. Beginning at the |old Hanna Opera house building, how- |ever, there are many recent changes lin the northern end of Main street, First, there was, until a few years |ago, a litle old stone structure known Henry Ford, admirable in many ways, | Whom, it must be, abhors the thought |as “the old stone store,” located on what is now the site of Sweney's | block. And not outside easy memory of those eligible in the first draft of the late war, there was a time when between Curtin’s block and the cor- ner of Myrtle street there was noth- ing but the old Horace Booth resid- ence, barns and orchards. In its place there are now a number of stores. The old Booth house was built close to the sidewalk and was a typical old New England homesteil, painted white and with the custom- ary lilac bushes around the front |door. In the rear was the orchard, and the barns and cow sheds were where the Hotel Grand is now situ- Coming here without knowledge of | opposition; he expressed surprise nndl that this feature be excluded in plans| and, of course, the outstanding land- | frame and timber | — THE OBSERVER - Makes Random Observations and Its People |years ago, a wooden shack which was razed to make room for a lunch cart, which in turn made way for the pres- {ent brick structure, It was only a few weeks ago that the old bulldings at the rallroad crossing, west side, were razed to make room for the new block being constructed. Looking up West Main street it is not much of a stretch of memory tp recall when Dr. Cremin's residence stood on the site of Fox's theater building, and on the opposite corner, where is now the Professional build- ing, the old Judd homestead (now moved to the rear and facing West Main atreet) was located, Also it is but comparatively recently that the post office building supplanted a resi- dence at the corner of High street and West Main, while the First Bap- tist church took the place of another residence which was moved around onto High street and 18 now the par- sonage. Before these changes the post office was fpr years where Fitch and Jones' store is and the old iron ralling out in front used to be a fav- |orite lounging place for the young men.® Under the post office, with an | entrance down a flight of stone steps from in frent, Vogelsang conducted his barber shop and it was a peculiar sight then to see the conspicuous barber pole in fromt of the federal post office. The Chamber of Commerce rightly insists on ‘‘Honesty in Advertising"” by merchants. Polifical parties, or party officlals might do well to copy. In this offense both republicans and democrats are equal offenders. A few weeks ago the republicans had an outing and made great capital in ad- vertising that Congressman Purnell was to be the speaker. Those who bought tickets, expecting to hear his talk, were disappointed because he did not even appear, though he did send his regrets. Last week the democrats had their outing after hav- ing advertised extensively and posi- tively that Senator Pat Harrison was to be on hand and speak.

One night last week a local theater was picked out for the experiment and the result was inter- esting. In front of “The Observer" sat three girls who were busily engaged in explaining the why and wherefore and how of their three distinct styles of hair dressing. Immediately opposite a man was reading a magazine and occasionally calling his wife's atten- tion to something interesting he found therein. In as many as half a dozen places, patrons were reading newspapers. In one place at least one paper had been separated and its parts were serving three people. Girls in all directions were chewing gum and surreptiously sticking it under the seats. Others were passing candy bags and boxes around. Lolly pops were having their inning with the youngsters who climbed onto the seats and offered tastes to patrons in the rear. Women were doing knitting and crocheting. Several girls were seen wading through Eskimo pies. Some | were reading programs. Here and there a man walked down the aisle with his hat on and everybody stared at him. Women were fanning them- selves. Singularly enough the ads on the curtain did not seem to attract much attention, nor were many peo- ple interested in their programs, after a casual glance at the evening's “lay- | out.” And others, including “The Ob- server,” were looking around. Many groups were engrossed in conversation. A few persons amused themselves playing with babies on ad- joining seats. Noticing people who came in late and making remarks, about them was a popular amusement | among some persons. And last but not least, the age old game of flirting | seemed just as popular as ever. e Florists, telegraph agencies and kidders frequently remind us to ‘‘Say it with flowers.” That new orchid called ‘“Sophrolacliacattleya” makes this a trifle difficult. a0 The open season for candidates and near candidates and would-be candi- dates, is at hand.

It happened this way: The man in question, only a temporary resident of this city, but because of the na- ture of his work, enjoying a very wide acquaintance, was in the eity of Hart- ford several nights ago. He was about to enter a taxi when the incident oc-| curred through which the eye was blacked. Of course, the ordinary per- son would expect to hear a story o/ missed footing, tripping over the floor| rug or of a door that swung open un-! expectedly. But no, our friend offers| the following explanation: “I was about to board the taxi when a Adrunken man stepped in ahead of me; then stepped out and re- traced his steps back in again. Re- peating this operation several times got the better of my patience and I prdered him to get out. As I did I was struck squarely in the eye, the optic discolered, two teeth knocked | out and the side of my face bruised." | Truly, wonders will never cease! o Mrs. J. B.

EMPOWERED T0 CHANGE DUTIES Senate Approves Proposal to Place Powers in Execntive's Hands Washington, Aug. 12.—A flexible tariff plan proposing authority for the president to increase or decrease tarift rates in the pending bill until July 1, 1924, was approved last night by the senate. The vote was 36 to 20, with three republicans opposing and two democrats supporting. The roll call on the flexible tarift follows: For a flexible tariff; Republicans: Brandegee,. Bursum, Calder, Cameron, Capper, Coit, Cur- tis, Dillingham, Edge, Frelinghuysen, Hale, Harreld, Jones of Washington, Keys, Lenroot, Lodge, McCormick, McLean, Moses, Nicholson, Norbeck, Oddle, Pepper, Phipps, Shortridge, Smoot, Spencer, Sterling, Sutherland, Townsend, Wadsworth, Warren and Watson of Indiana—34. Democrats: Broussard a%d Kend- rick—2; total, 36. b4 Against a flexible tariff: Republicans: Gooding, MeNary and Stanfield—3. Democrats: Ashurst, Dixl, Fletcher, Gerry, Heflin, Hitchcock, Jones of New Mexico, Myers, Overman, Pem- erene, Ransdell, Reed, Shepard, Sim- mons, Smith, Trammel and Walsh of Montana—17; total 20. Just befoie approving the plan the senate adopted, 24 to 19, an amend- ment by Senato®Bursum, republican, New Mexico, which would previde that after July 1, 1924, no duties could be changed except by authori- ty of congress. FEighteen reépublicans and all of the democrats supported this amendment. Sharply Modified. The plan as finally approved is a sharp modification of that originally proposed. The president is prohibjted from using American valuation < ex- cept in the case of dyes and certain coal tar chemicals, covered in two paragraphs of the bill and is re. quiréd to base changes in rates on the differences in the ‘‘costs of pro- duction”” at home and abroad in- stead of on differences in “‘Conditions of competition.” Also the president could not change duties from specific to ad valorem or from ad valorem to specific nor trans- fer articles from the dutiable list to |the free list or from the free list to the dutiable any rate beyond any maximums spe- list, nor could he ‘raise 'cially fixed in the bill. Among items Iimited to 50 per cent of the figures fixed in the bill would become e fective within 60 days after the fis- suing of a proclamation providing for such changes, but a proclamation had been {nvestigation and a report of findings as to facts by the tariff com- mission. The presidént would be re- quired to make public these findings as soon as ' practicable “after 'the changes had been’ proclaimed. With the flexible tariff out of the way, the senateé began consideration of the so-called scientffic tariff amendments proposed by Senator Frelinghuysen, republican, New Jer- sey and Jones, democrat, New Mexi- co. The Frelinghuysen amendment was rejected 34 to 18. Three demo. crats, Ashurt, Hitchcock and Keénd- rick supported it. BARN BURNED DOWN.
