T e v— — THE ROAD TO NEW BRITATN, The movement to have signs placed to guide traffic in and out of this city {s the first step in a direction which, if followed to its logical conclusion, would do much to advertise New Britain and bring people to this city, especially those who travel by motor car. In order to get the full benefit of the idea, however, the city should see to it that similar signs are placed far from the city directing motorists to other {mportant cities of the Pos- sibly only these who have had occa- ) signs, in here as they are directed state. sion to make use of these touring, appreciate the ston they of a city signs directing people to it. ers do not stop to figure out who is responsible for the placing of those signs.

If some private organization volun- teers to take over the trouble and expense of placing such signs, as sug- gested by Mayor Paonessa to the Lions' club, the city would be saved the expense and would be indebted to But if no organi- itself that organization zation so volunteers the would make a paying investment if it should have those signs placed at least before another spring. city A BRIGHTER OUTLOOK. Today for the first time it may felt that the outlook for a peaceful settlement of the Near Fast matter. temporarily at least, brighter, if any outlook may be called bright that inciudes satisfaction for the Turk Even here may be seen a ray of sun- shine. Yesterday the reports had that Kemal the time for the evacuation of those who would be deported if they were out of the suburbs of Smyrna. Now they have until October eighth, and sim- ultaneously comes the news that an American ship has arrived with an additional relief unit and 5,000 loaves of bread. The Turkish gendarmes "are turning refugees to the American relief committee and the British relief workers have evacuated some 6,000 Armenians from the Chesme peninsula. Great good will be done in the remaining three days. Many will be saved from forcible ban- {shment into the interior under the guard of the Turks. The Greeks do not want to give up Eastern Thrace and the fear now is that they, having enjoyed a breath- ing spell, will make some move which will precipitate has recently sense for which here. He sees the advantage of stop- ping now and getting much of what he was after, The world is holding its breath until the word comes that a full agreement has been reacherd at the Mudania That settlement will not be satisfactory to all people. No settlement the Near East question can be satisfactory to all. But it will be hetter than the breaking out of in which event not only would those who are in dan- ger now suffer, but millions of others as well. War would but bring a postponing of the time when Near Eastern atrocities must cease hecause of the pressure of world opinion which is, today, stronger than all other forces. is it refused to extend over war again. Kemal the he was given credit evinced common conference. of war, public INDIFFERENT TO TIME. Now has been found a place where objectors to daylight saving would be happy. Tt is the Tubuai, about 200 miles Tahiti where, to quote a news patch, “the popular dream of guld, lazy South Sea existence really comes true”” according to the scientist who has just returned years' investigation of the origi the Polynesian race. Needless to say, on that isle, they would not mind even though the sun should be shining in the heavens for hours while they, the populace, re- mained at rest. "“Make hay while " the sun shines” is utterly heyond thelr comprehension. They are ut- $erly indifferent to the progress of he outside world. They eat, sleep, ossip and go fishing and are happy. time isle of south of dis- lan- from a two of , indifference to the ‘‘golden " is the creed. The scientist how the delay of a week in NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1922. starting on &n expedition made little {mpression upon his party, and the return tripawas postponed a week, .~:\.~u‘,\'. Naturally there is no efficiency, No progress, desire to up and dolng on that isle, Such is the result of wasting the hours, They, these people of Tubuai, have carried the argument against day- light saving to the extreme, Simi- larly we might do the same. Sup- pose, through atmospheric changes, the time should come when the “sun rose” over this part of the world about midnight according “Standard time' which a few people still insist is “God's time” and which, ke the laws of the Medes and Per- slans, must not be changed. From midnight until midnight there would be light over all the world. The day- light savers would insist that we should take advantage of that light and go to work even though the clock sald midnight, while the dear old objectors to daylight saving time would wake up, perhaps, with the rising of the sun but would turn over again in bed and sleep all through the first seven hours of daylight because the old grandfather's clock, still ticking on gently under standard time, told them it was not yet seven o'clock, the time they usually rose and went to work. Probably a little vacation on the lazy isle of Tubuai would be the sort of vacation Stand- quite no be to our ard Timers would thoroughly enjoy. RIGHTS OF ALIENS. Not long ago some publicity was given to the saving of the life of a dog, caught and sentenced to death because the dog had committed the crime of belonging to an alien. Kind- hearted people interfered and the dog was spared. This was in Pennsyl- vania and the case brought out the fact that there was a law in that state prohibiting an alien from owning a dog. Now a news item informs the pub- lic that there is & law in the state of Michigan making it illegal for unnaturalized residents to possess firearms. The state supreme court, however, has just declared this law unconstitutional, stating, in its opinion that ‘‘under this law even the predatory skunk would be more offensively armed than the alien farmer.” The august court was moved to this remark by considering the situation of the alien farmer who might be compelled to watch the hen hawks steal his chickens if he obeyed such a law. Certainly it is proper to urge for- eign-born men and women to become citizens of this country. Presumably if they come here to live their inter- ests will be here and it is only fitting that they should pledge allegiance to this country. But no person should be forced to become a citizen of this country because of laws treating him as though he were unfitted for citi- zenship in any country. A law -nak- ing it an offense to own a dog or to possess a weapon of defense, wheare such possession is regulated by other, perfectly proper law, is not tha sort calculated to 1nstill belief in the fairness of the laws of this country in the mind on one con- templating taking out citizenship papers. The foreign born have rights in this country which should be pro- tected—which are protected. There should be on our statute books no of a measure laws which, in themselves, are insults to people born in other lands because they stamp such people as lacking in the good instincts which every man and woman, regardless of race, creed or color, is presumed to possess. Re- spect for the rights of the alien in this country is seen in this deecision of the supreme court of Michigan. POLITICS AND PLATITUDES. If Secretary of Labor Davis thinks he can satisfy behalf of President by uttering fine words regarding the labor should receive, he is mistaken. They, the workmen, want more than words. This sentence, representing something the President is reported to have said, is splendid, but it means about much as the “Association of Nations" described by President Harding, then Senator Harding, which was to come after we had ‘‘properly approached’ other nations—and which has come which has grown fainter and ever fainter. “The workman's lowest wage,” are the views President ported to “must be enough to make his house his home, enough to insure that the struggle for the Perhaps been more And it is a sentiment in which all should agree. But union workmen insist that Presi- dent Harding's Attorney General tried to destroy the power of unionism in his injunction case. On the other hand non-unien men believe President Harding had thought workman as an individual, unless he belonged to a union, when he urged the railroads to give the strikers their seniority rights, regardless of prom- ises made to new men who had taken the strikers’ places. At this time when working men are thinking hard there is need at Washington for more than platitudes inspired by the political situation. The Herald was in réceipt of two “communications” this morning, neither of them being signed by indi- labor, in Harding, wages as not but Harding is re- have voiced, existence shall not crowd out things worth existing for.” never has the sentiment beautifully expressed little of the viduals known to us, general signa- tures being used. was harmless enough, being a request for informa- tlon to settle an argument, the other was capable of causing considerable discussion, at least.

One French revision: uses of perversity.” Sweet are the It is hard to tell which does most to prolong life, goat glands or new brake linings. Some people who nr’e virtuous, and yet unable to get rich, feel that they are doubly cheated. Almost every state wonders how the other states can tolerate that kind of man as governor, The greater part of the art of teaching a child consists in having more sense than the child. It must be awful to be a highbrow and keep forever on one's guard to avoid seeming interested in anything. The greater part ot the task of get- ting ready for the next war falls on the stork. Think what the wicked Moslems might do if they could get a supply of poison gas from some Christian nation. It you can't forgive an enemy and can't lick him, about the only com- fort left is to tell slies about him. Fable: Once there was a man who didn't think he would be more effi- clent than his wife as a housekeeper. ‘When a man is interrupted, he gets offended; but when a woman is in- terrupted, she talks calmly and hap- pily on. If there is no other way to save Constantinople, perhaps Mr. Daugh- erty could be persuaded to get an in- junction. There is something peculiarly touching about the mournful pedes- trian who now whistles ‘“Keep the home fires burning.” 1ou many people think thrift con- sists in buying $60 worth' of inner tubes to prolong the life of a $40 casing. It begins to appear that world re- construction will be just a slow and painful process of undoing the Ver- sailles treaty. Equality of the sexes doesn’t keep a man from being very resentful when he meets a woman who knows more than he does. Correct this sentence: *“I am so sorry,” sald the man to his wife's mother, “I had hoped you could stay with us all winter.” “Are we losing our native cul- ture?" asks a speaker. Apparently we are. There hasn't been a tar-and- feather party for weeks. P et 25 Years Ago <oday (Taken from Herald of that date) At the annual town election today, Loren D. Penfleld was elected town clerk; Charles H.

JURY FOREMAN DENIES, Says He Knows of No Tampering With Panel in Hanover Trust Case. 5.—Thomas W. the special Som grand Boston, Oct. ers, foreman of jury discharged yesterday by Attor- ney Gen. J. Weston Allen on the grounds that it had been tampered with while investigating the affairs of the closed Hanover Trust Co, in a statement today deciared that he was astounded by the attorney general's charges. “Our relations with the attorney general and both his assistants were most cordial,” he added. “As fore- man, I never dreamed or had an ink- ling that any outside influences were at wqrk, and T cannot believe that is s0. Mr. Allen says in his statement that improper influences were used to affect our minds. So far as I know thas is absolutely untrue.” WOMEN FINED IN - OVERLOOK FIGHT Mrs. Butrin and Mrs. Manshikias As- seased After FEngaging Stone Throwing Contest. Mary Butrin and Ellen Manshikias, residents of Parkview avenue, were the principals in a neighborhood quarrel in which stone throwing fig- ured prominently, and both were ar- rested last night by Acting Detective Sergeant Matthlas Rival. Mary was fined $5 and Ellen $10. Mra. Bunk, who lives near the ac- cused, owns a cow of roaming habits. Yeaterday the cow went into Ellen's pasture. Carrying out a threat that she had made in the past, Ellen lock- ed the cow up in her barn. Mary then came In the interests of Mrs. Bunk and proceeded to release the annimal whereupon Ellen objected strenuously. Btones began to fly and after Mary had been laid low with a boulder, the police were called. Supernumerary Policeman Lincoln May arrested Fdward Galle this morning on complaint of his wife. She testiffied that they had a dls- agreement and he struck her. The ac- cused was placed on probation for one month, Arrested on a charge of drunken- ness, J. J.

BOTH WORE KNICKERS Enfield, Oct. 5.—Frank Keable Kretz of Springfield, Mass, and Mrs. Evelyn Phillips of Newark, N. J, were married by a justice of the peace here yesterday and both wore “knickers” at the ceremony. They returned to Springfleld for their re- ception and then started an automo- blle honeymoon across the continent to San Francisco. HAGUE DECISION, London, Oct. 5.—It is reported in Christiania, says a Central News dis- patch from the Norwegian capital, that arbitration court at The Hague has practically decided in favor of the Norwegian shipowners who brought action against the American Shipping Board, involving 125,000~ 000 kroner in connection with Nor- wegian shipping alleged to have been 21 PLANES BRING BOOZE TO NEW YORK “Dry” Director Resigns After Suspending Six Aldes Washington, Oct. 5.—Prohibition Commissioner Haynes has announced that Federal Prohlbition Director Ralph A. Day has resigned as en- forcement chief of New York ate, He quits Nov. 1 Mr. Day conferred with Commie- sioners Haynes and Blair. He was accompanied by United States Attor- ney Hayward of New York. With Col. Hayward he called at the attor- ney general's office. Then Mr, Day returned to New York and his resignation was made known, the reason * assigned being that he had agreed to take the job for only a year and his time is up Nov. 1. It was denied that his retirement was caused by bootleg scandals or other troublesome episodes marking his service. Although Mr. Haynes refused to be seen, his office issued a notice praising Mr. Day for efficiency, ex- pressing regret that he has relin- quished the dry command in New York and indicating that a successor, unnamed, has been “practically. de- cided upon.” The notice went on to cite the agreement of taking over the job for a year only and the need of Mr. Day's glving personal attention to his large personal interests and con- tinued: Praises Are Given “The office is in such an excellent condition and in such close touch with the Washington office at all times that it will be a much easier undertaking for the work of the of- fice to be continued satisfactorily at this time than it was a year ago.” Despite the close contact, however, Commissioner Haynes disclosed that he had not heard of the suspension of Prohibition Agents Grunewola, Saver, Fanelli, Fasullo, Toplitz and Garson or of the latest rum scandat in which they are alleged to be in- volved. 21 Rum Airplanes Next to Mr. Day's resignation, the leading subject discussed at the con- ference was the use of sea and over- land planes for bootlegging purpos&s in New York. Mr, Day is‘said to have declared that at least twenty-one such planes are in operation be- tween New York and Montreal over- land and between Montauk Point and Rockaway and rum-running ships by sea. Mr. Day also was re- ported as saying that some of the planes are equipped with trap doors, 80 that when besieged by dry forces they can spring open these ports leading to the bottom and get rid of contraband cargo.

S A NEW AND NOVEL STORE A unique clothes shop is to be opened at 308 Main street. It has many novel features. One of the most attractive is the name, P & Q The P stands for Price and the Q for Quality. There are a great many clever mot- toes connected with this shop that have become town-topics in 40 great cities, “The customer is always right.” “We're always the earliest to show the latest.” *“The P & Q label on clothes is like sterling on silver." “If the P & Q label is on 'em, the quality is in ‘em.” And here is the P & Q guarantee! “A new garment or your money back if a P & Q garment falls to satisfy you."” Living up to the above principles of merchandising has made the P & Q Shops the most successful chain of good clothes shops in America. P & Q Clothes sell at $20, $30. The P & Q System of distribution is peculiar to itself. Every garment Is made in the Great P & Q Tailor Plant in New York at 439 Fulton Street, and s sold to the customers direct at just a little above the wholesale price, saving the purchaser at least $10 on every garment. The Quality of P & Q Clothes is recognized as of highest standard. Years of personal training has made every man connected with their pro- duction perfect, and the designing is of a character absolutely beyond ap- proach. A business built upon such a splen- did basis of honor as the P & Q Shop should be welcomed with open arms by the people of New Britain—advt. 25 and ‘[ We Specialize in J BOYS’ SHOES | i The W.G.
