If, however, the affair of this week develops into a “rough-house™ it will be frowned down upon and, undoubt. edly, an end will be put to a new form of sport in this city. RATES: 8 Year 82,00 Three Monthw, 50 & Month, MOTOR ACCIDEN The report shows that motor acci- | dents are decreasing in this state, But there was a fatal accident in New Britain last week and there were 14 b accidents in the week of July 7, 1923, |as compared with 13 for the same week in 1922, True, the number of vehicles is increasing, but this is not the right showing nevertheless. And the reason for it becomes more evi- dent the more the situation is studied. Recklessness prevails, even ‘among pedestrians. The motorists drive too fast and are taking chances all the time. But the pedestrians are careless, too. There is one matter that it seems a person of the most ordinary in- telligence should understand—that is not to walk on the right hand side of the highway in the country at night or at any place where the motorist may not see him. It is true that com- paratively few accidents are reported to have been caused because of this habit of people, but they will come if the habit is continued. Coming from Berlin station to New Britain there ix a sharp turn where pedestrians insist on keeping to the right. A car coming up that hill must get a good start— the smaller cars may have to go into second speed. The drivers cannot see pedestrians walking around that cor- ner. One of them, asked the other day why he did this dangerous thing, seemed quite offended and replied: “Everyone walks on this slde of the road.” It {s no matter. The people who disregard this adviee to walk on the highways in such a way that they can see approaching cars, will disre- gard all other wise suggestions, They are the ones, whether walking or driving, who are the causes and the vietims of accidents. Investigation of accidents at rail- road crossings shows that the drivers of cars take desperate chances, which, to them, do not seem des- perate at all. The signal bell rings. The driver steps on the gas, seeing the train a quarter of a mile away. He seems perfectly safe, And then the car stalls on the tracks. Possibly it is the first time his car ever stalled. But it means death. Ridiculous as it may appear it would seem the driver of a car would stop his machine the moment he knows “d” train is . approaching ‘the crossing. The very roar of it as it passes him will bring a sense of the wisdom of his act. Constant repetition of these warn- ings, and the realization that all of us forget them at times, inspires this newspaper in dwelling upon the sub- jeet. If one life is saved, the empha- sizing of an old matter will have been worth while. Hntered at the Post Office at New Britain as Second Class Mail Master. TELEPHONE CALLE: Businoss Office ..

The discussion over the advisability of buying riot guns, tear bombs and bullet proof vests for the police de- partment, is tempest in a teapot ‘where a tempest should never rage. The discussion is of importance only because a principle is involved. Quite probably the riot guns would never be used, but that fact does not detract from their value. Pos- sibly the tear bombs and bullet proof vests would remain in police headquarters most of the time, though the protectors against bullets might well be donned occasionally. The principle involved, however, is deserving of comment. Our police de- partment should be prepared for any _emergency. The possesion of these things would make for a greater preparation and confidence. Some motorists have been known to drive for years and never been obliged to use that spare tire always carried on the car. Yet few motorists would be without it. There should be no violent objectiony raised to carrying out the principles that the police force of New Britain should be as fully equipped as the force of any other city. The psychology of the matter may be urged. -Possession of tear bombs, bullet proof vests and riot guns might make the force eager to use them, it might be said. The contrary would be the case, probably. The possession of these weapons of defense would quite likely act as a_ deterrent to ‘others who might be inclined to create the sort of disturbance which would call for them. Even the weather man usually refuses to let it rain when one carries an umbrella. The more respect for the police force the lawless element of soclety has, and the better prepared such element .knows our force to be, the less in- clined it will be to disregard that “force. And it is belleved Chief Hart (and the men of the force would never use such defensive and offensive weapons unless they were needed. As an added word In favor of pre- paredness on the part of our police force it might be remembered that these affairs, coming in handy on one single occasion when they would prove useful, would far more than tilake up for any comparatively slight “expense they would bring to the city. Should they be needed at any time, they would be badly needed. THINK OF IT. “The New England Brewing Com- pany opened its doors and premises to the public today and more than 3,000 from Springfield, New Haven, New Britain and Meriden responded to the generous invitation.” No, this is not today's news. It is a clipping from the Herald of 25 years ago yesterday, and it is re- printed with no desire to whet any- body's thirst or send him to the near- est soda fountain for a chocolate sun- dae. 'The whole purpose of repeating the item is to inspire people to look back at that day and decide honestly whether or not they wish that day were here again. “The nerous {invitation! Now quite probably some people who will read this may remember that day. Was the generosity confined to an in- vitation to “inspect” the premises, or did the guests do more than inspect? Did such “more than inspection” do harm or good, or was there a greater | friendliness of neighbor to neighbor than today, less unrest, or was there not? We presume beer, today com- monly connected with *light wines" in the prohibition discussions that are popular, had a busy day—that twelve hours twenty-five years ago. What happened that day, the day following and the day following that? Was this state of affairs the cause of bat- murder and sudden death, or did | good-fellowship | BOXING HERE. Bporting affairs in this city have taken a new turn. It is with the hope that sport may not be given a black eye here that this comment is written, not with any intention to advertise the affair referred to or to condemn it. An amateur boxing tournament is to be held here Thursday night in the state armory. The receipts will £0 to the soldiers’ mess fund. That| is no concern of ours. But one may still’ be eager to see such an affair conducted in a manner that will be proper, and that the bringing of boxing contests to this city will not bring anything undesirable, Many years ago boxing tournaments were held in the Metro. politan Opera House, New York city.

It was not until the last of June that the warm weather came to any extent so that we could make plans expecting the pext day to be pleasant and warm.
