This year, however, although there may be the last min- . — —— (ute rush as formerly, and although there may be some people unable to obtain thelr new markers owing to this rush if they wait until the last minute, the department states that the law will be enforced. In order to be on the safe side, therefore, and run no risk of the un- pleasant consequences that might follow faflure to register on time, as well as in order to avoid the incon- venience of trying to register your vehicle in the last minute rush, it would be well for motorists to do so as soon as possible. What the un- pleasant results of not having the new markers will be is not stated, and the statement of the department is the only authority for the information that the law will be enforced this year. Nor is the propriety of enforcing the law if there was good reason why one could not obtain his new marker in time here commented upon.:The warning is here emphasized merely to protect the drivér of a motor vehicle. | Member Audit Dureau of Circulation The A, B, ¢, is a natlonal organization which furnishes newspapers and adver- tisera with n_strictly honest analysis of cireulation, Our olrculation statistics aro based upon this audit.

Perhaps you have bought two of the Christmas presents you in- tend to give. If you have done this you have also felt many time since you attended to that part of Christmas preparation, how glad you are that so much, at least, has been done. If you go now, this minute, and do a bit more of that Christmas shopping you will intensify that feeling of satisfac- tion. You have had pleasure in think- ing about that gift which has been bought and is waiting to be sent away or given. It is “just what you wanted.” You had time to “look around” and you were not hurried, Repeat the operation now, Get some of the others, It is too late for you to *do your Christmas shopping early.” That time has/passed. But at least you are able to plan to do it tomorrow morning, early. At least you can add to the * general Christmas spirit by consider- ing the merchants and their clerks, at the same time doing something worth while for your own self. Of course the stores will be crowd- ed Saturday. Of course they will be crowded every afternoon next week. Plan to do that shopping early in the morning. Do some of it tomorrow morning.

Possibly we do Snow, then a thaw may come. In such not want any:‘“covenants” but the case your Christmas “shopping” would phrase “open covenants openly ar- become Christmas “slopping”—and it rived at” is an attractive phrase and would not be pleasant.

AND EUROPE It is being intimated at Washing- ton that the government has not been “inactive” in using its influence to help straighten out the European sit- uation. It is intimated, in ofher words that the government has been doing quietly what it is not prepared to do openly. This may be the part of wis- dom; it may be inspired by timidity. In any event it is not the American CITY FORESIGHT It 1s always satisfactory to see fore- sight displayed by the city. Now, be- fore snow has really come to trouble us—and to make the children happy —'the Board of public works has be- gun to plan how snow may be cleanx ed from the sidewalks promptly It {8 the 'board’s business to decide the method that will be .adopted; the board should know the best way and the advice and co-operation of the police commissioners will, of course be given. Whether through a “special policeman” or by other means the city should be free of the dangers and inconveniences suffered from permit- ting snow to accumulate upon side- walks, The time to prevent this will come with the first real fall of snow. Once a small accumulation of snow is allowed to remain upon a walk, the work of cleaning of that walk be- comes more difficult and, may be kept difficult for weeks at a time. In planning for city improvements, also, such as sewers, foresight is also advisable especially at this time. These months are good months to plan for the future. Again Roger Babson, who knows what he is talking about, may be cited as authority for the statement that progressive cities are planning to do ten years work, or are planning for ten years' work, to be done in the next five years. Muni- cipal bonds have a good market today. ‘With the talk of possible constitution- al amendment restricting the right of municipalities to issue tax-exempt bonds that market will not be as good, quite probably. City foresight is especially to be commended today. AN APPEAL TO WOMEN An emergency call comes for surgi- cal dressings. They are needed at once at the New Britain General hos- pital. This appeal is only a mt‘h!‘ less moving than would be the call of a victim of an accident who lies bleeding by the roadside. No man, woman or child would pass by the other side” and let that victim bleed, perhaps to death. But men are | awkward, rough, no matter how will- “on given that dexterity of fingers that fit them peculiarly for the work of pre- paring these dressings. It is one of woman's characteristics which cannot take from her and to which she clings. And with that skill goes woman's heart, touched by such an appeal. The American Red Cross is called “The Great Mother.” Men work for it; but without women the organization would be sadly lack- ing in the inspiration which makes it the most honored and beloved se- cular organization in the country, 8o the women of New Britain will respond to his call made by the New Britain hospital for the sake of those man always ing they may be.

This feeling is only - slightly relieved by news that Ambassador Child has ask- ed protection for the minorities and the creation of territorial refuges for special populations. The United States, at present; is in no position in the conferences in Europe, to do any- thing but remain silent while Ismet Pasha scornfully rejects any such plea. Sure, the “moral influence” of this country is great, but that moral influence would be greater, it is be- lieved, if whatever moves are being made in Washington toward helping out in this situation were to be made public, Despite the bogy of “foreign enmntlemenu\' such moves would receive the hearty support of American people. the O'CONNOR’'S PARENTS The words of the parents of Rory O'Connor, who was executed recently by the Free State government of Ireland, are worthy of perpetuation. Whenever Rory O'Connor's namu is mentioned, those words should be repeated. “We abhor anything in the nature of a reprisal for the death of our son, Rory O'Connor,” they write. “Our taxpayers of the city will have just cause for complaint if the matter is not investigated and the guilty “agent’ or “agents'" discharged, The evils of giving city business to the dealer who pays “cash prizes" for such business are too obvious to emphasize.

When the no- grief is not softened by thought of the ‘bility 1s abolished, society in demo- suffering of others.” 1f the spirit of the parents of Rory O'Connor were to enter the hearts of all the people of Ireland, Regulars and Irregulars alike, there would be peace, joy and happiness in that land which so many of the péople in this country as well as on the island itself love. Were those words of the par- ents pf Rrory O'Connor to inspire strength tempered by wise moderu- tion surely Ireland would owe those parents of the man who has been executed a great and everlasting debt. The contribution to Ireland of those parents of Rory O'Connor cannot be estimated in the wonderful possibili- ties contained in the spirit of their words. GRAFT LOCALLY New Britain has been remarkably There have been but few, if any, in- timations that any of its officials have sought profit that is not legitimate. At any rate the intimations made by a dealer in automobile accessories that he had been giving “cash prizes" to agents of the city who buy, come with something of a shock. The mat- ter should not be left here. The case should be investigated and the “agents” who received such ‘cash prizes,” if any there are, should cease to be agents of the city of course. This sort of graft is perhaps the brought to it. On the front page of today's issue of The Herald the ap- most common of any. It may begin cratic countries will have nobody to |3 wimic.
