Word comes from the Washington Bureau of The Herald that the post- master general and secretary of the treasury have made joint recommen- dations to congress urging appropria- tions of $226,000 for additional land and remodelling of the Britain post office, Quite possibly, Washington, if there is any personal interest on the part of men from this part of the country in the post sffice irs ot ‘New Britain, it is greater r who shall be our next postmaster than it is over this recommendation for post office improvement.

It is known that many ac- cidents have been reported to the de- partment which were caused by a tailure to dim automobile lights. When an attempt is made to distort the law merely for the sake of “‘get- ting back” at the perpetrator of an innocent jest, even though such dis- tortion .may cause many more acci- dents, it is time to take it-up seriously. The matter came up in this way: The *“Hartford Courant” ‘good-na- turedly took The Herald to task for optimistically declaring that the courtesy by motorists . of their headlights when approaching another car was now frequently ob- served. The Courant, with witty re- partee, wondered where we had been driving to find such ‘‘courtesy.” Dim- ming of headlights was ‘‘courtesy’ of course. Upon our admitting that we had not found such “courtesy” in the vicinity of Hartford, the most unsafe city in the state, The Courant today declares Hartford people do not dim their headlights because the motorist who dims his lights “fails to comply with the law.” So dimming headlights, ac- cording to the altered position of The Ceurant, is not courtesy—it is an of- fense against the law. “Most Hartford automobilists obey the law,” declares the Courant, “and owing to the statutory requirements that no motor vehicle may be operat- ed after dark unless it has headlights capable of showing objects at least 200 feet ahead, the man who dims his lights falls to comply with the law.” Really, if “most Hartford automo- | bilists obey the law,” why are there so many accidents in Hartford? The state is shocked by their number, And really, does “dimming head- lights"” mean nece ly dimming them to the extent of failing to “show objects at least 200 feet ahead? W Jjest serious in regrrds ov S “TEST.” “What the Y.cague has done," says Raymond B.

Porter Sons “Connecticut’s Best Furniturg Store” PERFECT PLANES SAVE -~ ¢, “THE LIVES OF AVIATORS Mechanics Must Affix Signatures to Report of Condition of the Mail Planes Before Flight. PALACE :—: Starting Next Sunday “MERRY GO ROUND” The Million Dollar Phetop Washington, Oct. — Successful completion of the recent five-day test in the transcontinental air mail serv- ice was only possible, in the opinion of officials of the post office depart- ment, because of the extreme care taken to keep mail plans in perfect condition. Each of the seventy air mail ships is inspected daily in the most minute detail. As the ship is brought in from flight a tabulated sheet is attached on which there are more than 100 points to be inspected. As each point is in- spectdd, and repaired if necessary, the mechanics affix their signatures, and the report is not complete until signed by a chief mechanic and ac- | cepted by the pilot of the plane. Since the inauguration of this system, the number of fatalities in the serv-: ice has decreased greatly. Strict orders against “stunt” flying while testing out new planes, have increased the safety of pilots, as did the scrapping of a defective type of ship in use in 1920. Tatal accidents by years were: 1918, one; 1919, five; 1920, fifteen; 1921, nine; 1922, one; Youw'll need to dress more warmly now.
