New RBritain s, unfortunate in the number cf as- upon women which take place with a regrettable regulaeity. Monday evening there was another seemingly, rather sauits attack, Mrs. Grace Calkins this time | being assailed. She was saved from probable injury by the timely arrival of a policeman and residents of the street attracted by her screams. The motive, in this particular in- may have been robbery. I'rightened by her first the assailant made an attempt to choke her into silence, and, if he had not been frightened away, might have done considerable damage, as the vie- tim was nearly on the point of un- consciousness. At other times degen- erates have been thought guilty of pe- culiar actions, ranging from assaults the cident scream upon women to mere remarks as they passed It is time that such occasions were put a stop to by some method. The police have succeeded in rounding up one suspect and sending him to jail. Since his arrest there have been re- ports of untoward events, usually in the regions not far from Walnut Hill park, and have more than one misdoer to deal with. The police have expressed intention of putting a stop to the practices, al- though they thought that they had already done so., May they succeed, | quickly, it is an unhealthy state of affairs when unaccompanied women are not safe on the streets of the city after dark, whatever the mental pro- cess and the ultimate aim of the law- breaker who commits the we evidently ALL READY FOR THE BONUS VOTE With the tariff question out of the way, the Senate having passed its bill and the question having been sent to a confer before the final vote, the next item of ence committee for rewriting | interest to the country to come be- fore the upper house of Congress is considered next week. | Upon one side of the bonus question | may be found the interests that were in favor of a high tariff, this time they are opposed to legislation whlrhi would affect them unfavorably, they feel.

In our day a bare existence indi- cates more nerve than poverty. The chief objection to white shoes Is that they so frequently ain't. The great American amateur might try his hand on a little synthetic coal. Early to bed and early to rise, ! and you'll never meet up with the bootleg guys. It seems unreasonable that a soft | coal situation should have so many | hard angles.
