The ' der case is the question involy next step in | seems to be a rather s Mayor Paonessa's attitude. The mayor told a He man that he had de- manded the police to get busy on the ! matter, for he did become suspicious ‘after visiting the scene of the so-called accident when Mrs, Carlson was kill- | jed. From later developments it ap-| .pears that the local police as well as .the county detective had their suspi-| ‘clons, newspapermen had ’auspmions but they were naturally| ‘wery careful not wishing to defeat| the ends of justice. The caption over| the pictures of Mayor Paonessa and | Courant” with sarcastic Carlson mur- 1. The which is the articl point news even Chief Hart in this morning's “Cour-| ant" reads “New Britain Mayor and | Police Chief Who Disclaim Break." That's all very pleasant and if that is all the “Courant’” wants the public to j know, we will also say that as ‘far as we know, those two gentlemen are the best of friends. It is refreshing 10 us to have a Hartford newspaper “defend” our local authorities. We are with you. If the only point involved is placing the congratulations where they belong we will go on the supposition that a blanket congratulation will cover a controversial point, therefore we will settle that by congratulating all a thousand fold, even the “Courant” for jts new attitude towards New Britain and its officials. There are little minor points that we could heckle about but what's the use”? why CHORAL SOCIETY FESTIVAL Each spring, all over the country, there are held al festivals which are pecullarly appropriate at the time of the year when beauty and nature harmony bring fresh inspira tion. In New Britain this festival takes the form of the annual concert given by the New Britain Choral So- ciety, for which preparation I been made throughout the year and which is looked forward to by all music lov- ers of the city and vicinity. It is no disparagement to the New Britain| Musical club, which h long de- " woted itself to preparing New Britain ‘peop]o for concert and chorus work, 'to emphasize the attractiveness of ! this annual spring of the .Choral Society which represents seri- | ‘ous conscientious work by local sing-| ers who, in this festival, are aided by musicians from the musical must festival noted world. This year the Society will present Mendelssohn's “Elijah” Monday eve- | " ning, May 7, at Fox's theater. Proba- | bly there is no musical work so popu- | lar, so consistently satisfactory and so splendid as a vehicle for chorus and golo interpretation as this masterful oratorio, Splendid notices have been received of the artists who will pre- sent the solo portions of the composi “ton addition the personal knowledge of such soloistd possessed | | by the oficers of the soclety respon- | , sible for their engagement. The great chorus of local singers assures to, ' these musicians a background, sym- pathetic in its understanding and powerful in its support. The combina- . tion cannot fail to produce one of the most thoroughly enjoyable musical | entertainments the peopie of the city| have enjoyed and one which will merit | and undoubtedly be given the sincere, | enthusiastic support of those in this city who love good music and who belleve in maintaining New Britain's| standing in this worth while field. | to in TRAVFIC One of the points in the city streets e b yangement as the silent officer, or pil- ~ which troubles the traffic officers and | fhe drivers of automobiles, is the in-| tersection of Walnut, Arch and Main| _ streets. One driving up Main street, eaded for Arch, mects drivers com- in the opposite direction either Arch or Main who are uncertain which way to drive, especlally n the “Silent cop, or pillar, is on Rhe job alone. Then there is the traf-| fie turning from Main and going up Arch and Walnut which has to be ; d, as well as that coming from estnut. There is no order to the ar- Jar, is now placed.

But when the pillar alone stands there to indieate in which di- rection the motorist should go it takes 4 good memory or a peculiar sort of brain to decide just where the proper line is drawn, THE TRAGEDY OF IT When we read of the confession of | a human being telling of his action in taking the life of another in an almost inconceivably cold-blooded all thoughts other than the tragedy of it seem insignificant. When slayer and vietim are peaple familiar in our com- | the drama of human life is brought forcibly to us. Thoughts of pleasure, comfort, even, sink in im- portance before overpowering desire | to so order our own lives, at that we may never be touched by or| never cause others to feel the hand of the passton of hate| which drives men and women to vio- lence or which inspires action breed- | manner, | munity least, may terrible | ing violence in others. There is a tendency in this day to treat life's gentler sentiment as evi-| dence of weakness, Impressions are | made only by drastic, spectacular ne-! tion. Phrases such as “the Faith of Our Fathers,” the “Love of Home,” | are smiled at charitably as the mouth- | ings of the sentimentallst. What is wanted, in the vernacular of the day, | is “something with a punch, a kick."” The sun of the dreamer, even though his dreams be the inspiration of fine | deeds, is in the eclipse. Attempts to reform the world are made with the| same passion of vehemence, the! same intolerance that characterizes so-called pleasure and even crime. It is time for the ideal to be not | afraid. Even such an authority as one of the greatest cconomic experts in the country may be quoted as saying, in a practical way, that this country | will not become once again the splen- did land of of square dealing, until there returns to it that old-time faith in the primary princi- ples taught by the Great Master and followed for so many years with de- vout faithfulness.

A “TIMELY"” REMINDER At the risk of boring those who arc ick and tired of the senseless discus- sion of the merits of daylight saving time, it may be well to remind peo- ple that “tonight's the night"'—or ra- ther that tomorrow morning at 2 o'clock is the time when we should set our clocks an hour ahead, not for the purpose of “fooling"” ourselves Sunday morning as to the hour of the day, but | rather to remind up that the world has made up its mind to get up and go about the day's business when the sun is telling us that it is all ready to furnish its brightest light. As a prac- tical matter it will be better to set the | clock ahead tonight before retiring, even at the risk of doing something terrible even before the hour when the change goes into effect. We will| probably wake up, as we have been | despite clocks, an hour | it happens to| waking earlier than be a bright day. interesting up usual-—if matter it the deter- mination of that extra hour of daylight, to ask any bright, energetic person if he or she has not Just an would pay denouncers of to make us been remaining in bed these few days of bright spring which we have had, long after the urge has come to be up | and doing, The light has streamed in the window for late and even those who have to get up early have felt a sense of guilt recently, not being able to get it out of their heads that, with the coming of the day there comes, too, the necd to begin the work of the day. So, as long as we poor, frail humans need tangible the clocks ahead in order that their hands may of the day- up risers, and forgetful reminders, set corrohorate the evidence light and tell us it is time to be and at it. THE PLEOPLE'S Any arrangement that will the peeds of the people of any section of the eity more plain, is to be com- | the make | mended. As long as members of common council are willing to do the work, for instance, it is well to have small groups from that body investi- | gate the sentiment of the people and make the their findings known to that body. The commissions which have general charge of dl«er-‘ ent activities know in a general way, and in many cases in a special way, of the needs in regard to the matters within their jurisdiction. But no gen- eral commission can determine exactly hew the needs with which it is con- cerned dovetall into certain other needs which come outside of its jurls- resuit of | ments Nt togother, provided the work | flelds the speelal committee goes, by means of hot water.

' The “Observer” the other day had| occasion to watch ‘a machine which has been ysed very little in this sec- tion, but which gets big results in a short space of time. The machine it- self is nothing new, but it is the first time that the “Observer” has had the occasion to see it in operation. | It is a ditch digger which has been employed by a company engaged in putting in a trunk pipe line on the Plainville road beyond Jerome street. Before describing the machine itself, it might be of interest to note that the digger completed the work of digging a trench extending from the end of the pavement on West Main street to| Wooster street since the time when the frost was out of the ground, about | six weeks ago. | The machine is constructed !lmllu; to a large derrick with an endless chain of shovels or scoops on it. The| derrick extends out from the body of the carriage over the place where the | digging is done and has a device on| it to raise or lower it, according to| the manipulations of the operator. In| operating this machine, which is driv- en by gasoline power, the operator runs the wagon or carriage over the, ¢d.
