That came to be a significant word some nime ago—that word “Prepared- ‘ness”. After the lesson of the war , people thought they would always be prepared. The parable of the wise and foolish virgins was cited more than once. We were all going to be “wise virgins" after that lesson. A coal dealer has written a “‘com- munication” to the Herald. That communication was punlished yester- day and it should be remembered always that it is from a coal dealer showing his viewpoint. But it states one. dealer's idea of the value of "prépsrerlncss". The version of the eoal situation held by those who denounce the high price—and of course we all denounce it and eom- plain about it—has been presented over and over. Coal high here; neighboring town selling cheaper and go forth. Alleged facts have been given; they have told “the truth and nothing but the truth,” perhaps, but certainly they have not given “the whole truth.” The dealers, in doing what the writer of that communication says they have done, may have been fool- {sh. People have the right to think go If they want to. Others believe they did right. Probably the people in Boston, today, where the shortage is reported to be menacing, wish Bos- ton had the supply of coal we have. Qurlocal fuel administrator'is more concerned today over the situation than he hae been, It is not a time to alarm the people, but it is a time, in all fairness, to emphasize the fact ‘that we are not out of the woods yet. And, in all fairness, it is time to say that if the coal dealers are doing all they can to get the cheaper coal as “ fast as they can The Herald believes they were right in getting coal here Jeven at the higher price—right in remembering the word “Prepared- ness", NEW BRITAIN POLICE, The city has a fine body of police- men. The present police commis- .‘sioners are alive, apparently. There Is every indication that the force will be kept on a high plane, The dis- position of the Chief is for discipline. The outlook is good. But there is an element in patrol service which seems to have been for- sgotten occasionally. A policeman, more, perhaps, than any other public official, is in the limelight. He fis seen in the street, in uniform.. Wher- ever he goes, whether in uniform or detailed to plain clothes duty, he should maintain an attitude of pro- priety that will emphasize the dignity of his position, not degrade it. A traffic officer, for instance, may give “d person passing through this city either a pleasant Impression of the city or the reverse. Practically, for the moment, he has the reputation of Y/ the city in his hands. Policemen, of ' course, are human and an oceasional hasty he expected, But traffic officers should invariably be courteous, especially when they have no reason to believe the offender is careless driver, More serious, perhaps, are graver charges brought or hinted at. The members of the force should not be intimidated so that they will hesitate to testify in a cage. That is part of their duty. But any suggestion ot improper behavior by any policeman should be thoroughly investigated for the sake of the other members of the force as well as for the sake ot the people of the city whom the police protect. CONSERVATIVE REBELS, A picture of Diana Bernabei, the “beautiful feminine leader of the Fascisti” in Italy, has been published. It is sald that she has exerted great influence in the present crisis but she “has been forbidden by Mussolini to take part in any of the armed out- breaks. The Fascisti leader has re- fused to permit women militaristé to endanger thefr lives."” In this country we are apt to look upon a revolution in Europe as a thing of violent radicalism, conceived in hate and carried out in violence. The memory of Russia is with We remember how the women were expected to labor. We think of the pletures of the French revolution we have seen where the women were pleturesquely prominent in their physical activities. In this pronouncement of Mussolini appears another element in which the word may us. revolution in Italy differs from other There is a spirit of conh- in the revolutions. servatism in evidence, shown, first place by the denouncing of ol shevism and anarchy, and now by this that certain traditional standards will obtain, The maore learned about this revolution the more itg calm sanity becomes evident And this stand of Mussolini, indicats ing that the ldea of the propriety of man protecting woman und keeping her out of physical confligt will beé maintained, is another bit of &vjdence In favor of the new regime, ) declaration THE PARKING QUESTION, Where to park uu(o!nnhlleu is be- coming a serious matter, The prob. lem will continue to grow as auto. moblles become more and more com- mon, Already there is a great deal of difficulty in this city, People hold antagonistic views depending upon their own personal . interests—and they are not to be blamed. More- over one person may hold one opinion as to where others will be allowed to NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER‘{L 1022, Hate permeated the plage, At another house a erowd of youths and into the vestibule, The doorbell of one of the wpartments was rung, The formidable band ad- vanced, It was ahout to mgke an attack upon the doors of other floors. A whitg-haired old man appeared from one of the doors, He did lecture the lads, His volce was not raised, Perhaps, far back In his mind, was the memory of days when he had rung doorbells on Hallowe'en nights, The old man spoke very softly boys crept not “I'to-the black-faced leader of the awful gang. “There's a little baby, asleep, in there,” he said gently, “You don't want to frighten that little baby, do you." Absolute silence! The boys moved toward the door to the street. They walked on their tip-toes, “We're awful sorry," came from the lips of the terrible leader of the desperadoes, park their cars, and quite another opinion when it comes to the matter of parking his own car, A few weeks ago the situation on Court street was called to the atten- tion of the authorities, That street had been made practically into an all-night garage. Rules were pro- mulgated which went from one ex- treme to the other. The limitations now imposed are objected ta strenu- ously by some people, rightly or wrongly. On High street in front of the library no parking is allowed, and no parking is allowed directly across the street in front of that portion of the Baptist church property. This fact drives those who would park their cars, even for a short time, out onto West Main street, one of the busiest streets in the city—a situation which should not exist. The result of a consideration of these facts is that there should be a permanency commission to watch the parking problem. That| problem changes almost from week to week, The changing seasons bring changes. The changing character of the local- ity make new regulations wise, A plap which is suitable this week may be entirely improper next week, Con- fusion and unpleasantness comes be- fore the matter has been straightened out. It is possible that permanent injury to business might come before a certain parking trouble could be corrected, although this is highly im- probable. But, with the growth of the automobile industry, and with the Increased number of ‘cars in use both for business and for pleasure, the time has come when there should be a permanent body to attend to the matter of providing proper parking space if it is available, always with “the greatest good to the greatest number” as the slogan, modified by the strict refusal to interfere with property rights and.to harm property values. Property rights ‘should be protected, THE NEW NORMAL SCHOOL. The permit for.the building of the new State Normal school has been taken out, The thing for which New Britain, led in this particular by Marcus Wilite, has worked is about to be started. The results will be far-reaching, not only in the increased attraction to the city of those intgnd- ing to take courses in the Normal, but the erection of the new ‘Normal buildings have already begun to change the physical aspect of the city. The locality where it will he placed- has developed. Property values are affected, More than ever New Britain will be known not only as “the Hard- ware Center of the World," but also as a city where the beginnings, at least, of education are made, There is a connection between the thoughts of the city as a great hard- ware center and as an educational center, Originality and enterprise are put at a premjum in the practical hardware world. In this . city are experts in that line; their opinions are sought; new ideas originate here, In order to make New Britain a ‘complete” city the educational aspect of it should be emphasized and encouraged to take its stand beside its gharacter as a manufacturing eity. As it develops in this line of prac. tical work, so it should develdp in the line of theoretical work in order that it may become a city which realizes all its possibilities. HALLOWE'EN INCIDENTS, It is reported that nothing of a serlous nature resulted from the Hal- lowe'en pranks of the young and those whose actions were “young", on that night. Reams have been written about the thoughtlessness of youth, and the harm youth does “without thinking of the seriousness of the deeds.” True—all But per- haps a word might be written about adults' lack of knowledge of youthful psychology. Two incidents of Hallowe'en night A group of disguised youths and boys were seen in front of one house in the city. A woman was standing on the front porch talking rather forcibly to them. From the doorway—from a safe position, be it noted-—came the slightly nasal snarl- ing of a man. Plainly the youths and boys had disturbed the inmates true. will illustrate.

Every.time a French official wishes to express his hatred of England, he accuses the Greeks of another atrocity. A financlal editor says the banks can make the olive branch supplant the dogs of war. He must think they are Burbanks, Correct this sentence: "“The man ap- peared at the time previously agreed upon and paid back the ten dollars he had borrowed.” Of course you have noticed that the static will spoll a concert and' then clear up beautifully when a political talk begins. SMITH FAVORITE IN NEW YORK BETTING Has Elight Financial Wagering Lead Over Miller, With Odds At 11 to 10, New York, Nov, 2.—Evidence of in- tense interest in the state election was seen yesterday in the fact that betting on the principal contest, those for governor and senator, {is very heavy and is expected to exceed in volume even that of 1920, when the presidency was at stake. At the pres- ent time in the betting Alfred E. 8mith, the democratic candidate for governof, has a slight advantage over Governor Miller, the odds being gen- erally quoted at 11 to 10 in favor of the former, with some wagers report- ed at figures slightly more favorable to Smith. In the race for senator, Willlam M, Calder, the republican candidate who is seeking re-clection, is a 2 to 1 fa- vorite, but it was said, at these odds there was plenty of money ready to be wagered on Dr, Royal 8, Copeland, thé democratic candidate.

Hostile to That Element B London, Nov. 2 (By the Associated Préss)—8tunned by the heavy down- fall of their candidates in.the muni- cipal elections throughout England laborites intensified thelr political campaign today with the hope of making 'a better showing in the general election for parliament November 16, In yesterday's battle alone the Jaborites lost 149 seats which they had previously held in London and about 160 seats which they had occupied in 80 boroughs outside the capital for the most part in-such large cities as| Manchester, Liverpool, Blrmtnshnm.’ Derby, Nottingham, Plymouth, South- ampton and Portsmouth. Are Good, Index Although nominally considered purely municipal issues, the local contests such as those hald. yesterday are generally regarded and some- times are an index to existing political feeling. This time the races were watched with intense curlosity as s possible forecast of labor's chances in the coming general election. While it undoubtedly would be rash to assume that laborss doomed to the same fate at the parliamentary polls as it suffered yesterday never- theless the outcome of the local eles- tions has certainly made labor's pros- pects for parliament very dlscourag- ing. In some instances laborite repre- sentation was completely wiped out in the municipal elections but at other polls labor held its own ~and even made a few gaine, Tondon Is Hostile London was intensely hostlle to la- bor. The general feeling in the capi- tal was manifested by the way the voters flocked to the polls despite the raw wind and fuelous rain. Ordin- arily the voters in london stay in- doors for the most part when muni- cipal elections fall on such a day. This time, however the local political fight seemed to stir the electorate. The partisan interest for and agalinst labor is little stronger today than the attention focused wrangle between the Lloyd Georglan liberals and the conservatives. The political writers really do not seem to know what Is going on behind the scenes. Some of them say Bir George Younger has won his fight and that Lioyd George has decided to aban- don his idea of “spreading the war" against the conservatives. Others de- clare just as emphatically that the fallen premier has taken a very de- termined attitude and has decided to nominate additional candidates Fox’s Sun., Mon., Tues., Wed. THE PRISONER OF ZENDA Everyone Has Read the Book Don't Miss the Picture [trouble is sald by some to really be on the, against conservatives.

Some See Harmony Some observers profess to see a renewal of harmony between Lloyd George and his former colleagues in the statement made yesterday by Sir Robert Horne who altho#gh he was one of the most faithful followers of the little Welshman informed a Glas- gow audience he was stlll a uniohist and that if eleoted he woufd sit on the unionist side of the house and give his genera! support to Premier Bonar Law.
