It is always eonvincing when a man acknowledges a mistake and tells of a changed attitude. A newspaper may blushingly note the conversion of this expert, although it redounds to the adventage of the newspaper, that paper has systematically com- mented upon the weekly statements of the economist. After confessing that he himself once fell for the *bill-[on board,” or woutdoor sort of advertis- ing, Mr. Babson declares he has seen ure and There profit, is one warning that has not received sufficient emphasis in the past. It pertains to the danger to pedestrians who walk on the roads at night. Many of them do not realize that the driver of a motor car can- not see them in all cases, and that their safety depends upon their own watchfulness. Especially at this time of year when the roads are so bad, the eyes of the driver must be on that road to avold great holes in it. He may be compelled to make sudden turns to the right or left to avoid holes, and in so doing he is apt to hit a pedestrian walking along with his back to the approachi:g car.

It is hard to tell whether that story about Senators being drunk is offered They ,realize that Pajewski is person- ally popular with hundreds of voters in his ward and In other parts of the city as well, © They know that the good will of the fifth ward has a high value on election day and they fear that the party has lost a golden op- portunity to solidify the ward by be- ing more tactful. Some of the pow- era-that-be will say “Tut, tut and non- sense” when they read this, but it is the truth expressed to the “Observer” by many young men who are not in harmony with the policy of the “bosses." A policeman must keep himself well groomed. Although this ruling has been part of the regulations of practically every police department in the country since blue uniforms and brass buttons first became popu- | lar, it now has been given an addi- tional legal status. In Connecticut now it is part of a policeman's duty to “spruce up,” and if he is not in- clined to do it at his own home, then “Parls, France— “In Spain, a swarthy Don. “I've slipped around “In Athens, Greece, “I drove King '{ut's “0ld boat. “They're all the same— “These traffic cops— “They'll try to get “Your goat. “They laugh at you “If you go slow; “They frown if you “Go fast; “No matter what you do “They've got you lashed “Tight to the mast, “When Einstein's Relativity “Is crammed straight “Down their throat “Perhaps the traffic cops “Won't try “To always get your goat.” . .. his mistake, and that at this time the retail merchant should *use news- papers’ for advertising “rather than attempting to billboards, ete.” “Any concern in an industrial city," says Mr. Babson, “which is not doing a normal business today should clean house and ascertain wherein the dif- ficulty lies * * * either he is a poor buyer or a poor salesman” or he is mixed up in some outside enterprise and is not attending to business. He cites the large department stores and | their successful advertising at this time, adding “but the smaller retailer failed to advertise as he as scandal or an alibi. Overdrafts in public departments are unusually greeted with mere or less rage, but it is doubtful whether anyone will object to the overdraft of approximately $1,600 in the widow’s state aid fund. An appropriation of $5,000 was allotted to New Britain. It was found that this amount was not sufficient to meet the needs which arose and more money was spent. he must do it at the police station. Captain Nicholas Calabrese of Tor- rington is the official who provoked the official decision. Captain Cala- brese is known in his native town as a4 handsome man. To keep up this reputation he finds it necessary to pay considerable attention to his personal appearance.
