It is urgent that this gen- | eral subject be given consideration be- fore the city is extended in all direc- tions with no general, proper scheme in mind, but rather after the manner/ of a mining camp. It would seem that such location would be an ideal) one for a school—this, without enter- ing into a comprehensive discussion of | this matter. And if a school is bullt | there no doubt exists but that the city’s development in that direction will be more rapid. What sort of de- velopment is desired? Is that de- velopment to go on without any plan at all? Is Shuttle Meadow avenye to be lined with shops and small stores which will cater to children and resi- dents in cheap tenements that may be bullt? ' The owners of property in that sec- tion will have decided opinions on the | subject. The erection of a school at! that corner does not necessarily meéan | deterforation in the residential char- acter of that locality. Tt may add te . its desirability. But it might mean that very thing if no action is taken to decide what is best and to provide that the best arrangement shall ob- tain. . The Herald has raised this point ‘before. But now it is time some ac- tion were taken, New Britain will ex- pand. The best residential dm.rk‘tl lhould not be made less desirable; the | more modest residential sections #hould be kept as delightful as they #re; the best business sections should Hot be allowed to be marred by bus- | iness buildings less worthy. No section of the city should be allowed to de- teriorate. The proper authorities; should see to it that steps are taken | m once to keep New Britain at least !l beautiful as it 's now. © FORD ON CAR FARES { “ 1t 1s presumed that street raflway | experts will smile at the remarks ot Henry Ford on' that subject. Henry! says many things that bring a smile. ; But it must be allowed that the flivver king often sheds a new hight on inter- esting matters. Locally it has been argued that a reduction of trolley fares to five cbntsv over short hauls would increase the | Connecticut company's business con- siderably; that reccipts would be greater than they are at present. There has been some support to this| argument in the “trials” of the five- cent fare that have been made |n| near-by cities. , It must be confessed, however, that | this increase was expected to come, from people who now walk, because | of the high fares, instead of taking. the trolley. Now along comes Henry | ¥ord, who certainly would be suppos- ed to favor everyone's driving one of his flivvers to work, and says that street car fares in Detroit should be cut in half and that the receipts of | the street car company would thus be trebled. He does not say people | would then ride who had previously walked., He says, on the contrary: | “People would find they could ride | cars so cheaply that many thousands | who now drive to and from work would ride the strect cars—the saving would be so considerable that they could not afford to drive.” And all this, be it remembered, from a man | who would benefit financially if every- one drove to and from work in one| of the Ford cars. With parking space becoming so0 | scarce owing to proper resirictions, there comes a ray of sensible sunlight to thesc making them worthy of a moment’s thought—even it they aid come from Henry. 0 few words IRELAND'S N There will be no titled “Britisher" at the head of the Irish Iree State, As expressed by the New York Her-! ald: “In addition to a parliament which is 100 per cent Irish, comes a Governor-General who might be call- ed 101 per cent Irish. A Corkonian | ascends the throne,” This is the des- eription of the new Governor-General, Timothy M. Healy. There will be at the head of the new state a man who has held love | nor- | points the members of ‘the Senate, Ireland the Senators will be elected, ! this appointment—an attitude which | | the old, autocratic | thing. {Treland are more content today Iw-i | cause a man of Cork—a true man of | ! from | species exists—the better it will be| | for all ;nr the latter, _of 1reland in his loyal heart through the forty-two years of his labor for NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, TUESDAY, DECEMBE‘R 5, 1922, Ireland, ever since, as a young man of 26, he hegan by touring this coun- try with Parnell and John Dillen, A real personality will stand at the head of a country In which personali- ty Is & characteristic of the individual, A veteran parllamentarian who has always champloned Irish autonomy Is glven this honor, England could have done nothing more appropriate, under the new terms of agreement, than to appoint such a man to this post.

Permission to appeal | is being sought by, members of the| force who have petitioned the com- mission to recomynend the change to the charter revision committee. , ' Discipline is-the backbone and the breath of life in a well administered police-department. Adam's erring na- | ture should always be and usually is considered when a man who wears { the blue is brought before his super- | iors on charges. In most instances, extenuating c¢ircumstances lighten the | penalty, in case a conviction is found. | A man'’s past irreproachable record is always present as a silent witness in his behalf and heed is given to it. Jus- tice is frequently tempered with mer- cy. Dismissal from the police force has serious consequences in the after- lite of the man thus dealt with and the rules of fair play are not inten- tionally violated. | On the other hand, the commission- ers realize that they are the repre- sentatives of a soclal order which de- mands faithful discharge of duty on the part of its public servants and which would prefer to strengthen, rather than weaken, the control of the ‘commissioners over thelr subordinates. To grant the police the right to ap- peal from official decisions would be a step in the direction of weakened control and might be resented. There seems to be no speelal occa- sion just at this time for adding this amendment to the charter. There has been no charge of injustice brought against the present board of commis- | sioners. They appreciate the co-oper- ation of members of the force who show a willingness to do their work well. At the same time, they are alert {to sort out the undesirables. The | former have nothjng to fear; the | more quickly the latter are removed the ranks—granting that the concerned. An amendment granting the right to appeal is not needed by the former; it should not| be adopted simply for the protection WHAT TO STUDY? ! It is reported that the study of Latin and Greek at one of our great- est colleges is becoming less popular. Students are studying, in place of them, modern languages and sciences. The very practical man will say un- hesitatingly that the change is for the better. What good in the world will it do a man, he asks, to know Greek or Latin? to declare that the study of sclence is uscless unless a man is to devote his life to it or to something requir- ing scientific research. There s much truth in what the ‘very practical man” says. Certainly a knowledge of | modern languages will be a practical help to men in life. Rarely does a man make practical use directly of his knowledge of Greek or Latin, He may recite “Arma virumque cano,” to dis- play his erudition—but even then he is apt to run to a Latin lexicon or to Virgil to see that he is correct. But practically such knowledge is of little value to him unicss he enters one of ! the professions where frequent Latin quotations may be found in its text books-—or unless it gives him great satisfaction to feel that he possesses a “liberal” higher education. Men and women of today who studied the anclent languages in col- lege would hate to give up that knowl- edge, It is a satisfaction to possess it. But it buys them no bread. The abandoning of this study by college students of today is indicative of the growing sentiment against things that are of little practical value, no mat- ter how mruch they may add to the happiness and pleasure and culture of the It may be a good thing—as the movement against re- moving hats in elevators in the pres- ence of women may be a good thing.

He may go so far, even, as | “'old-fashioned,” prefer to have thelr doubts about the general benefit of the world that will come from this utill- tarian tendency POOR OLD HORSE! Poor old horse! He might just as well throw up his hands, metaphor- ieally speaking, for he has been given the No longer will he be housed in the cele. brated royal palace of England, “The Mews," That great establishment s to be torn down and a modern garage s to be built in its place to accom- modate the numerous cars of the royal family, It would seem that England has acted rather characteristically in this matter, I was a great many years after the furnace became a fixture in all well-regulated American homes, that England began to discard the fireplace as the sole method of heat- ing homes and began to put in fur- naces. Today, as there is bullt that great royal garage, England is some years behind the times. A garage should have been built years ago, of course. The strange part of it that some people of vision in this country, while predicting a continu- ance of the present prosperity of the automobile industry, feel that the more wealthy are beginning to look again with admiration upon the horse for pleasure driying. It would not surprise them to see the extremely discriminating in this country begin to use fine antmals for formal events as well as for sport. It would be a sad spectacle to see England, after she had her great garage all built and her historic stable destroyed, feeling remorseful over the loss of that sacred building. “Twenty minutes late” is an old expression—but per- haps it has been heard across the water by this time, “most unkindest cut of all," Facts and Fancies (BY ROPERT QUILIEN) If it has a Kick in it, nobody seems to care what else is in it.

Dec. 4, 1922. ‘To the Editor of the Herald, My dear Siri— I heartily endorse the excellent edi- torials that have appeared in the “Herald"” concerning the cutting of ice at Shuttle Meadow Lake. I believe we should accept the opinions of the Board of Health, and of the Water Commissioners, who are certainly the "best people to judge of what’is wisest in connection with this ques- tion. “It is better to be safe than sorry,” and 1 believe that the people of New Britain do not wish to have thé excretion of horses, and the ex- pectoration and nasal discharges of men mixed with their drinking water, or served with their coffee at\break- fast, even though the said horses and the said men after examination are pronounced ‘“healthy horses,” and “healthy men.” 1 hopg.the Board of Water Commissioners will exerocise their privilége of rejecting any and all bids. enter- Yours truly PURE WATER CAFE LOUNGERS ARE RAZZED IN HAVANA Owners of Places Remove Tables and They Must Stand Havana, Cuba,, Dec. 6—High rc-nnl are successfully supplementing the futile attempts of the law to élimis nate the more undesirable features of that ancient Latin institution—the corner cafe loafer, Taking their eue from the high efficiency cigar stores and quick lunch counters of the United States, several Havana cafe owners, who are paying top prices for cheicé locations, have rid them- selves of the drones who .crowfl their establishments and drive away clients. .

Lausanne, Dec. b (By - Associated, Press).—Representations were made to the Near East conference today by the Holy Sed® on behalt of the Constantinople Christians. Monsignor Maglione, the nuncio of the Catholic church in Switaerland, presented a communication to the president of the conference asking that prompt and efficacious methods be adopted to protect the various Christian populations of Constanti- nople whose situation' the communi- cation state had become most alarm- ing. The communication from the Vat- dcan was as follows: | “The Holy See is receiving daily from Constantinople the most alarm= ing news. The Christians of Kuro- pean natlonality are panlc stricken. Many have left and many others have not the means to leave. Those who wish te leave the city must promise in writing never to return. Their goods are sequestered and all possessions of - Europeans and of re- liglous congregations are in the greatest peril. There is general fear of the arrival of irregular bands and of disastrous consequences which may follow. “The Armenians are terrdr-sticken. They have no refuge and are even more exposed than the others. “In bringing these facts to the at- tention of the Lausanne conference which was summoned to establish peace in the Orient,”the Holy See begs it most earnestly in the name of humanity to adopt measures in the most prompt and efficacious manner to reassure the populations which already have been so cruelly strick- en.” Advices from other sources, in- cluding those of '“American origin indicate that ¢haotic conditions pre- vail in the interior of Turkey with to bear upon the -Christians especially the|. Greeks and Armenians to leave Tur-{ key.
