People of New Britain know that there is a place for everything here, every activity, every sort of a home, and they want the atmosphere about each one of these districts to remain at least as fine as it is now We have a city planning commis- sion. It would seem that the present {s the time to adopt some system for the city which would see to it that the fine residential districts are not injured by the erection of apartment houses; that the good apartment house districts are not harmed by the erection of miscellaneous shops; that the good shopping dis- trict is not made less attractive by the intrusion of buildings out of har- mony with it. These are some of the matters in which New Britain people with vision are interested, and these are some of the things of which it is hoped the city planning commis- sion will take cognizance before it is too late. and die because efficient, strength giving planted bout it when here for those seeing the want the words those of the future to become fistricts homes added of character as those located They want the less sections to main- character of comfort and should the ofensive in aracter Ly establishments to They want small, BUSINESS BETTER THAN USUAL. General business is only five per- cent. below normal which is two percent. better than the previous week and represents the highest mark ¢ this year according to the statistics of Roger Babson. Having appreciat- ed this fact one may consider his advice as to investment in railroad stocks with interest. Mr. Babson reduces to plain state- ments the thoughts many have held for some time. The settlement of the rail strike and the mental attitude of both wage-earners and railroad offi- eclals which makes them appreciate, at this time, the futility of strikes, tends to stabilize the railroad securi- ties situation. Generally speaking the railroads are in good shape to meet the future; their securities, therefore again generally speaking, form a good investment. But speak- ing specifically railroads which will not be affected by the development of trucking over comparatively short bauls will be more prosperous than | the roads running through settled communities. Such roads, like the Boston & Maine, the New Haven, Chicago & Northwestern, Reading and the like, will have to take steps before long to meet the competition this trucking development will pro- duce. “Frankly,” says Mr. Babson, | “I would rather take my chances with concrete securities (securities in com- panies which will profit from the! expected activities in building great concrete highways for trucks) than | . with railroad securities bought indis- Of course the statisti- cian means that indiscriminate buying | which might include the purchase of securities of roads such as the New Haven which road, he believes, would be wise to sell rights of way which parallel their line to the state for such concrete highway building, would not be as sure as the buying of securities in companies which will be benefited by the inevitable develop- ment of the trucking possibilities, It must by no means be understood that Mr. Babson predicts a general lowering of the price of the securities of the New Haven or other roads where the hauls are short and which closely may find competitors in the trucks.

We have reason to believe that the flood of publicity and the impetus to the movement has originated in no less a body than the fire underwriters of America, the individuals who rep- resent the company that the risks on your fire, if yvou have one. Led by a most praiseworthy object, the reduction in the number of fires about the country, the companies, we assume, are going to tell you how to guard against fires. Read the warn- ings, consider their supposed source, and take care. The Herald recently had a fire and it was a most unpleasant experience, By all means take all possible means to escape an ex- perience such as this plant had in your home or place of business. Never mind about this week, take your prevention measures every week. Do not do so because you expect a reduction in upon your building, do so to save yourself con- siderable money and trouble, though you believe yourself insured to the limit. Propaganda weeks are getting more or less tiresome to the general pub- lic, they are becoming too numerous. Irrespective of the source of the prop- aganda that is calling attention to fire prevention, irrespective of how much the jcompanies stand to save by thoroughly educating the fire hazard, and against, accept Wwe assure you. insurance even public to Wwithout reduction in rates, irrespective of how much you expect, or hope, to collect from your insurance—do not have a fire if you can help it. a NO WAR. It is daring to predict that there will be no war between England and the Turks. The situation is critical, of course. The solution of the pres- ent difficulty has not presented itself, But consideration of the fundamental facts inspires such prediction, The whole world shudders at the thought of war. No one wants fight unless, possibly, the Turks, The only thing the allies seem in- sistent upon is that the Straits of the Dardanelles be to kept open and free to vessels of all nations. The Turks to this, practically. holds the key to the situation, is an educated man. He certaj has intelli- gence to know that he would 16se everything if England waged deter- mined war against him He must know, also, that if England dares g0 in opposition to the will of her people and to declare war, it will be the most determined war she has ever waged. And Kemal knows how great would be his gains were settlement to be reached now. All other nations are ready to sacrifice much to keep peace. Never could there come a time when settlements of such advantage to Turkey could be made. have Kemal, agreed who the Revile the Turk as one may; ques- tion the justice of giving them any power; take as firm a stand as one cares to against the actions of the nations in refraining from preventing further attacks upon the Christians in the Near East—do all these things, feel all these sentiments, and yet one may belleve that Kemal's common sense will win over whatever wild dreams he may have, and that there will be no war unless raclal hatred, irresponsible, inspires the first overt act. HANDICAP OF TRADITION, The netwn tells us that the Chinese objected to rallway building because the workers went through their ceme- teries with thelr surveys and their roads, Probably the Chinese objected not only because of their disapproval railroads are | | business | of disturbing the bodies of the dead, with which feeling we may sympa- thize, but because of the superstition for which the Chinese are notorious and with which we may not sympa- thize. People might be to this country easily would the sensibilities to railroad built through some great burial place, but people of this country would un- doubtedly remember the demands of the living and make some arrange- ment for thelremoval of the bodies of those buried there to some other place properly prepared with appro- would be block of how shocking it have a priate ceremonies. There no traditional superstition this phase of progress. But people of this country need not flatter themselves, many of them, that they are not obstacles in the way of progress at times almost as much as were the Chinese Who did not want built over what might be perhaps the only possible right of way. Many men and women in this country are so handicapped by tradition and convention that they fail to see the good which would re- sult from innovations if those mod- ern changes are antagonistic to their long cherished opinions—opinions handed down to them perhaps through generations.. “I have never to railroac peaceful | done it that way,” is the least con- vincing objection that can be raised to a plan. "I have always done it this is the least convincing argument in favor of the old way. These two sentiments and those who live in their atmosphere are constant menaces to progress and the source of great discouragement to those who are trying always to present or to discover a new and a better way, way," The Hartford Courant, in an edi- torial brief yesterday, stated that it did not take long to determine what the politics of J. Vance were hen the Democratic party dangled the nomination for Congress before him, or words to that effect. Gosh, the Courant is learning again, we have not denied that J. Vance has been a democrat most of the time, but J. Vance's politics are not going to dom- inate the Herald in any such manner as the Courant is dominated by its politicians.

ARMISTICE SESSION MEETS ON TUESDAY War in Near East Now Less Like- Iy Than on Saturday Constantinople / Oct. 2. (By Asso- clated Press)—With an armistice con- ference definitely fixed for tomorrow at Mudania the perll of war between Great Britain and Turkey appeared less menacing today. Great Britain’s recession from neutral zone controversy caused no little surprise and disappointment here but it was generally admitted that this step was the only thing which could have stayed Mustapha Kemal Pasha's hand. It is pointed to as another evidence of England's ex- traordinary patience and earnest de- sire to avold war. Up to the time of the {ssuance of Brig. Gen. Harrington's note Satur- day night the situation looked ex- ceedingly critical. It is now conced- ed that his tact and tolerance coupled with the timely arrival of reinforce- ments from England prevented the Turks from striking at Chanak. Critical on Saturday. Th: situation Saturday afternoon was so strained that a break seemed inevitable. The British had orders to lefend Chanak at all costs as the Turks were slowly enveloping the Dardanelles citadel. New difficulties await the British at the armistice ‘conference. It fis known that the Kemalists will insist upon the British withdrawal from the Asiatic shores of the Dardanelles and the immediate exacuation of Thrace by the Greeks. They will probably demand right to cross the straits to pursue the Greeks as well as guarantees against the use of Turkish waters by Greek warships and troops. Long TParley Likely. It is expected the conference may drag for several days as the Kemal- ists doubtless will bargain and hag- gle over every point. It is felt that the moderating influence of the Ital- fan generals will be an important fac- tor in bringing the meeting to a suc- cessful conclusion. British Are Defiant. The British declare they will insist upon occupying the Asiatic banks of the straits even at the peril of fail- ure of the conference. They may also contest the immediate withdrawal of the Greeks from Thrace, the GARDNER FOR CONGRESS Democrats of Indianapolis Named As Nominee Who Declares Prohibition is Not in Campaign Indianapolis, Ind., Oct. 2.—With the naming of Frank Gardner for congress by the democrats in the Third dis- trict, the ranks of the dry congres- gsional nominees of the two major parties in Indiana were swelled to 23. Gardner, selected to succeed John W. Ewing, deceased, has declared that prohibition is not an issue in the campaign. 1t is said, however, that Mr. Gardner heretofore has been a dry. A recent survey shows that two nominees are avowed wets. They are Charles A. Bidaman, fifth district, democrat and J. P. Turk, seventh dis- trict, democrat. All thirteen of the republican aspirants, twelve of whom are sitting congressmen, are consid- ered dry.
