In regard to clocks “on the street,” according to the corporation counsel's interpretation, a clock over the en- trance to a store might be placed on daylight, saving time if that clock were whelly on private property and did not extend onto the street. If this Interpretation is the correct | “shet | other, sometimes, or from one portion | of the movie “lot" to another, then { back again while the firet corner re- | | mained one the confusion will he lessened. We shall have to remember only that the clocks of public buildings, as de- fined to be buildings in which the state or city is interested through sup- port, establishment or ohterwise, must be on standard time. And of course . any clocks standing out In the street, as jewelers sometimes display the time, would have to conform to standard time: ~This interpretation takes the teeth out of the law, for it allows the use of daylight saving time on practically all the clocks New Brit- ain people see and use except the clocks on chureh steeples—for churches are defined by the statutes to be “public buildings.” REUNIONS At New Haven yesterday.afternoon the baseball team representing Yale won from Harvard and thereby brought great joy to the thousands of students and the graduates of Yale who had returned for class reunions. -The baseball game was the feature of the day, of course, but of far more lasting significance is the individual effect, or the effect upon the individ- ual, of these class reunions. Chief Justice Taft, of the class of 78, marched upon the field in line with his former classmates who had returnad for their reunion. He re- ceived ovations everywhere. Other men who have won great siccess in other lines marched upon the' field, surrounded by men who, years ago, were fellow students at Yale. Many prominent men, Yale graduates, sat in the stands; many graduates of Yale who have not won prominence march- ed upon the field or sat in the stands. Perhaps some of them are bookkeep- ers or still struggling lawyers. Per- haps some of them are wealthy idlers. Some, fighting poverty, returned for that day, spending money they could pot well atford to part with, merely for the sake of getting back once | again the old atmosphere— gearching the inspiration which urges them on no longer in their rec- ognition of their own mediocrity. and those other, were probably, into tor failures, the ones, Successes, neither the there.

The players should know the story of the picture, says this| eritic, and not be compelled to act al seene without knowing what it is all about, This used to be the case and 1s the case now to some extent, Some years ago about the fourth day of the | taking of a pleture which extended over a week, the star, Edna Mayo, casually remarked that she would like to know what the story was all about —she would like to see the script. This, of course, was a ridiculous sit- uation, The fact that the story s made known to all the players—jhose taking prominent:parts—today before the picture is begun, shows the ad- vance In one directlon at least made in the movies. WANTED—INDEPENDENTS Dr, Harry E. Fosdick, pastor of the First Presbyterlan church of New York, whose alleged radical views re- cently caused an unsuccessful move- ment to oust him from his denomina- tion, has made an appeal to the uni- versities of America to turn out gen- erations of young men and women “who will live above the average and ahead of the time.” He says young men and women will drift into one of three places—they will be lawless or anti-social; or they will be on the average, a portion of those who think what everybody else thinks, or they will be above the average—'‘ploneers whose visions are more than the majority have yet set.”” He declares further that the modern ‘democrat (in the word's broad sense) who would scorn to truckle to an autocrat, truckles to the majority. While Dr. Fosdick is learned es- peclally in matters having a bearing upon theological questions and, per- haps those ethical, his call might well be addressed to the layman and be construed to refer to matter political as well as religious. The need is for independent thinkers who will not think a certaln way because that is the way a majority of people think, nor because they have been taught to think that way. The time for seeing faults within one’s own political party, for instance, is here, and the day when “The King can do no wrong' s passed. The only path to peace, to wisdom, is the path blazed by the small minority of independent think- ers who will some day become lead- crs of the great majority. AUTOMOBILE COURTESY. “After you' is courtesy on the road, as well as in the doorway.” This is one of the seven suggestions to drivers of automobiles given outl by the National Automobile 1.‘hnmlwr; of Commerce. The others have been | emphasized so often that repetition moment. This matter of courtesy, | howaver, brings an appeal to which the reckless, thoughtless and incon- siderate driver would be looked upon as a boor, an ignorant, showy person. This suggestion of “after you" car- ries the egame thought. There is no more reason why a driver ghould “cut in" ahead of another to the incon- venience or danger of that other, or should travel over the road without thought of other drivers, than there is for a person to jostle others in the street as they walk along. Few men or women are intentionally rude in their passage up or down the street. They do not intentionally step on the teet of others; they do not crowd them out of seats in 2 public place. They apologize when they are obliged to pass them in the rows of seats of a theater, Tn a word they are con- siderate and courteous. This is the rule that should govern prophetic | we that iittle placed upen this peint of believe a emphasis ‘courtesy on the highway think a it and would bring not enly greater safety to all, but would intro would make drivers duece a new atmosphere of friendliness inte the strained yelationship that now €xists between the motorist and the pedestrian, Be as courteous on the highway as you would be on the side. walk or In the drawing room, The sit- | Uation 1s not unattainable, Fac{g ggfl Fancies It 1sn't his youth a man sighs for so much as his vanished illusions, Even if there Is an actors' union, they won't strike for shorter lines, A Judge says women are better hit you so hard, Every man has a chance to amount to something unless he learns to en- Joy being petted, One reason why foolish reformers thrive is because too many people tremble instead of laughing. It might be worse, The label and the stamp and the whiskey are faked, but the bottle is real glass, A farm paper says dairying is no longer drudgery, Turning a faucet beats working a pump handle, Free speech usually is modified by exact knowledge concerning the side of one's bread that is buttered, It sounds funny to speak of the “late” war. You never call a man the “late Mr. Brown" until he {s finished. Correct this sentence: “Don't dis- tress yourself about it at all,” sald the banker; *“we'll be glad to renew it." We have heard our first radio ser- mon, and after all there isn't much difference between static and a dea- con's snore. The red “Stop” sign on the tail light helps some, but what we really need is something of that kind on the | radiator cap. Diamonds are of doubtful value. People don't judge a man by the dla- monds he wears. They judge the dia- monds by him. One thing the next war won't be- gin with is the theory that any par- ticular nation has a monopoly of first. class fighting men. This is a gigantic country, and the strawberry season is finished in one gection when the other is just begin- ning to get the rash. A western forman killed a man who wouldn't lay brick. Probably an em- bittered poultryman who got that way dealing with idle hens. That fellow who has invented a col- lapsible platform for trucks is a little late. Political parties have been using gomething like that. It is estimated that three-eights of the letters written have no other justification than a desire to make stenographers earn their pay.

They might grab a few cities. The Chinese haven't ‘an army or arms worth mentioning and don’t stick to- gether well. A small, well-armed force could hold a given spot or cut a path across the country quite easily. Cruisers and gunboats can control the coast and big rivers. But to police all China is different. It would take millions of soldiers a generation or two, and they might fail then. However, foreign meddling can keep the Chinese squabbling among them- selves. President Li fled Peking when Fenga Yu Hsiang, the so-called Christian general, threatened to seize the city. Maybe Li meant to set up his gov- ernment somewhere else, but Feng's followers caught him at Tientsin and made him resign. The Peking cabinet is trying to gov- ern temporarily without a president, WORRIED OVER BULGARIA Europe's badly worried over what may follow the militarists’ overthrow of the “farm bloc" cabinet under Pre- mier Stambulisky in Bulgaria. Bulgaria took the losing side in the World War., Beaten, Stambulisky came into power. He submitted to the allies' terms. These were severe. Bulgaria lost much. Yet the allies promised her a few advantages, to console her a little. Their promises weren't kept. All Bulgaria reaped was a net lose. Bulgaria's neighbor, Turkey, didn't submit. She defled the allies and fought England's protege, Greaee. In- stead of heing weakened, as Buigaria was by submitting, Turkey strength- ened herself immensely. What Furope fears s that King| Boris and his new premier, Prof. Zan- | kof, are figuring on following Tur- key's example now, and trying to take foreibly what Bulgaria wants. WHERE WILL IT 8TOP? Bulgaria can satisfy her ambitiony only at Jugoslavia's, Roumania’s and Greece's expense. Their troops are ready to resist. Hungary probably | |will take a hand, if fighting starts.
