Chestnut street is one | of four thoroughfares from which | traffic leaves one end of the Main street, A traffic officer is always busy} at the point where it meets Main street.

Today, however, there is great need of the carnest study of this matter, aimed at pre. vention before the fact, if not at the cure after the harm has been done. “HITCHING ON" Although the winter is far advanced and people are hoping that the lalit of the snow is now upon the ground, there is still time for terrible trage-| dies to happen. The recent killing of a small child who had *hitched on" behind a vehicle, with fatal resuits, | and the fears expressed by other| drivers of motor vehicles that flu\v) may inflict injury upon children in the same way, makes it wise to emphasize | again the dangers of this sport of the children, A person who has been driving a truck recently has called attention to the constant worry he is in because small children tie their sleds to the rear of his vehicle. It is not that he minds giving the children the pleasure of a ride, when he has the time, that inspired his complaint. It is the fact that he has no way of knowing when they are there and in what danger he may unwittingly place them. He told of an instance where a | woman on the sidewalk shouted to| him and, upon stopping his \'chiclr," he found that a child who had]| “hitched on" had fallen from his sled | and that he had dragged the child | some distance. Had it not been for the action of the woman in calling to him | to stop, he might have been the in-| nocent cause of serious injury to tl\ei child. | In this particular matter no person | would be guilty of impertinent inter- ference who would take the pains to call the attention of the driver of any | truck or other vehicle to the fact that | | perfect DAILY HERALD, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1028, Porter of this ity was unable to pass | over & bridge.

It's un- derstood she soon wili ask the allies indeed, to win South American favor, but she botched the job, v;ho are u‘:a'dnr obligations to her when they can begin doing somethin, t During the war South Americd . i i needed her. If she'd merely been too it, busy to heed this call it wouldn't have | been so bad. The allies, however, had various things they wanted done there that they didn’t care to do themselves, because they knew the South Americans wouldn't like it, which would hurt their standing later on. So they invited the United States to attend to these matters for them, land she did. The thanks she receiv- !ad was to have the allles make capl- | tal out of it against her every chance they got, North Americans’ shortcomings af- ter the conflict were mainly trade mis- takes of ignorance, like forgetting, for irstance, that December's mid-sum- |mer and July mid-winter south of the ]Equutor. and shipping winter goods lin the spring and summer supp!ies in | the fall. . Commercial rivals made the most of | these errors, too. { Then there's the United States’ per- | sistence in trying to get Latin Amer- ica into a patent and trade mark lea- |gue with her, which, as a Venezielan | “Yellow Book"” remarked, “would ob- |ligate us, at great expense, to organ- ize a bureau to record all patents and {trade marks registered in any of the |signatory countries,” a thing Vene- |zuela isn't enthusiastic over, consid- |ering that the United States registers about ag many a day as she does in a month, These are just illustrations. South Americans are half irritated, half contemptuous at North Ameri- cans' failure to understand such |things. s Of course there are individuals pro- North Americans.

France hasn’t made a particle of progress in the direction of collecting any war damages, and as the Ruhr enterprise is very expensive, naturally she's getting worse and worse finan- cially every day she continues \the oc- cupation, On the other hand, Germany's worse off, too, though it didn't seem at the time her territory was invad- ed, as if she had much margin left to get worse in. The best international authonities Another report is that the American government and financiers will try to help the English pound back to par- ity with the United States dollar in international exchange markets, the fdea being that this will send part of the world’s gold, most of which has been gravitating in this country's di- rection, toward London, It will be a good thing, if the plan works, While flattering to have the bulk of the gold in existence, it's been overdone, with bad results to Ameri- can trade. SAME CAR KILLS TWO Waterbury One-Man ‘holll'yv Is Or- dered Into Car Barn by Coroner, Who Wants gt Inspected. Waterbury, Feb. 21,—Andrew Rackerts, 38, fireman at the Roxbury school in Cheshire, who was struck by car number 1,526 of the Connecticut company in this city Monday night, dfed shortly after 6:30 today at one of the local hospitals. The car is the same one that figured in a fatal acci- dent on Main street last night, Miss Cornelia 8, Holcomb, teacher at WilBy High school losing her life. As a result of the two fatal acel- dents the car, which is of the -one- man type, has been ordered by Coro- ner John Monzeni detained at the street railway company car barns, to be inspected. .

Hall, formerly master mechanic at the New Britain Machine Co. was presented with a handdome Swiss watch by his fellgyy employes this morning. &Hall resigned last week to take a ter position, after serving 31 years with the concern. He learned his trade with the old Case Engine Co. and was with that concern when 4 The public utilities commission Ims; a child is “hitching on" to his \'ehkfilo.} granted permision to the Connecticut | If the children will not learn of lho! company to lay a spur track on that | danger of this practice, certainly older | street which would, in effect, destroy | people will take the trouble to protect | the value of that street as far as a|them against their own thoughtiess ‘ | | this generation | of the senior el | gymnasium at the close of the fourth period Iriday.

The city needs that street badly. If the Connecticut company needs it, too the question is simply| one as to whether the city or the company has the superior right to a street in this city. There would scem to be but one answer to this question. Disregarding entirely the other arguments such as depreciation in the value of property there and resultant in taxes the city would receive, it is be- | lieved the superior court will rec- ognize the city's rights in the prem-| ises and reverse the finding of the| commission. depreciation HOW MAY WE HELP? It is impossible to go about busines without giving more than passing thought to the tragedy of life | as presented by the picture of a suf- fering wife and small children, near to death, thou- | sands of people eager to help, so close to them. Their faintest cry would have been heard—but they might have died. Efficient and sympathetic welfare workers and charity officials are always on the watch for just s‘l(‘h‘ cases—but these might have died. Funds have been provided to take care of such cases—but these suffer-| ers might have dfed. What can we do? The answer does not come in the obvious suggestion that we should be| more liberal in charity appropria- | tions: it was not lack of money for charity that was to blame. It was not | lack of sympathy or efficiency on the | part of the officials or people of the | _Lity that made this situation possible.
