L= AN INNOVATION Quite possibly many a slight ehange | in the methods of some city depart- ment, some merchant or individual, may not at first seem impressive. The aimple ehange itself may not be im- presstve. But whether or great benefit will come from the little mprovement, there is in it something that is indead impressive-—it is the evident initiative of the city depart- ment, the merchant, the individunal Any time evidences of such initiative not any are seen In any person or department there s a great probability that more evidences of initiative and ingenuity will come. Tt is through such small steps that progress comes, hetter serv- ice, greater efficiency. The fire department in this eity will try out the plan of having red bulbs installed in the headlights of the ma- chines belonging to the department in | order to warn motorists, drivers or pedestrians, at night, of the approach of the fire In itself this happe good plan, but it is more than this.

The firemen have many champions in the common council who can be counted on next Wednesday when the subject of salaries comes before the council. ‘When the two-platoon system was inaugurated in this city the pay of firemen was reduced 50 cents a day and some of their privileges were re- stricted. They ask that their wages be. put back on the same basis as be- fore the reduction and this does not seem to be an excessive request. Only a government statisticlan can show where the cost of living has come down, and you can't hand the land- lord a table of statistics in lleu of the rent, nor can you swap statistics for meat and potatoes at the corner store. A man who devotes his life to the protection of property is entitled to recognition and a wage that will al- low him to provide his family with the essentials and some of the com- forts of life. A reduction in pay is a hardship which directly affects the entire family unfavorably and an in- crease correspondingly affects the family favorably. When a man’s pay is ralsed his wife and kiddles get a little more sunshine out of life and the Observer wants to see everybody get all the sunshine possible. That's why he is in favor of seeing the fire- men get their 50 cents a day back. A progressive city shouldn't haggle over such a small amount, especlally as It is being sought by loyal em- ployes who are ever ready to risk their lives to protect others from harm. It is possible that the salary com- mittee decided to let the common council decide the question instead of making a report on the subject, From what the writer has heard, it is likely that the majority of the common council will appreciate the logic of the firemen's petition and grint the increase. e AWhat's the matter with America? someone persists in asking. To which we might suggest Several answers, among them being silk stockings, de- mountable consciences, §12-a-quart booze, afternoon golf, rouge and lip- sticks, a searcity of home made bread, late retiring and late rising, six-cyl- inder appetites and kiddie car . in- comes, movie- mud maids, steam from the political pot, 2z hounds of both sexes, speed “uvs. speedy manners, homes and everything in them bought on the installment plan, complexes, neurotic wives, a craving for front page position with photograph, con- tempt for law by officlals and the public as well, unearned fortunes in the hands of unbrained young men, parking parties in the park, petting parties in the dark, bobbed hair and bobbed mentalities, sons and daugh- ters who look with condescension on their parents, mothers and fathers who look with toleration on their children, an alarm-clock-be-damned spirit, low life in high places, high | ilfe In low places, affectation, bluff, ignorance, the loss of the art of sweat- ing and being proud of it, moonlight and moonshine, slang, lack of respect for religion, scented fine cut instead of good old fashioned plug, late suppers, sunrise services in the dance parlors, knees that won't bend, sneers for the boss, jealousy, hate, rage, white col- lars, whispered storfes, lack of chive alry, fool optimism, fool pessimism, There may be a few other things the matter with America but we have forgotten them. . New Britain republicans were dis- appointed upon learning that cir- | it necessary to transfer the scene of the annual ban- quet of the MeKinley association from New Britain to Hartford.

Alling is treasurer and Richard Covert Is secretary. fact that the banquet will be staged in the Capital eity, arrangements will be in the hands of the New Britain officcrs and they intend to give to re- public of the state produce, The list of guests at the MeKinley | dinner reads like & “Who's Who" of the fepublican party in Connecticut, as someone has sald before. ¥rom the governor down, they all attend | this function even If they are never present at another. It is a gala event in G. O. P. circles. Hands are shaken. backs are slapped and all the embroidery of a political gathering is evidence, All the talking is not That is reserv- ed for loud talking exclusively. There is an abundance of sotto voce conver- sation In the hotel lobby and most this one or that one at the néxt elec- tion. Attending the McKinley assoct- |atlon meeting is part of the G. O. P. ritfl In this state. No one who pre- tends to be anyone misses it although | a lot who think they are someone and really are no one, so far as in- fluence goes, get out the dinner eoat and armed with a ticket sally forth. The disner is probably one most pleasant functions on the poli- tical calendar, Everyone is in splen- did spirits.

Hobbies afe nnm thifgs indeed. 1t s an impossibiifty to know just what a person's hobby may be with. Tn spite of the | ane who assemble from all parts | the best Harry Bond can | of the | or from someone who happens to know. Tdke the little chorus girl with the rouged cheeks and pretty painted lips. One would picture her reading the latest snappiest storles she can find with not a serious thought in her mind. True, this lit- tle girl may be a bookworm, but the stories she loves are the good, clean narratives of outside life, filled with flowers and good wholesome love. Then there is the stenographer. She may chew gum and use a bit of her employer's time to “make up” but what dees she do with her spare time? Does she hurry home, snatch | a bite to eat and rush out to the movies to see the favorite sheik of the screen? No, she -purchases a good magazine, full of {llustrations on methods of beautifying the home and other things a girl should know. She spends the evening poring over the pages and then trying to make some of the articles pictured thereon. Then comes the litfle factory girl. All day long she tolls hard and her pretty white hands are solled. Some- times she becomes discouraged and blue but when 6 o'clock comes she is so glad to get out in the open again. Out into the country she walks and if it be summer, she plucks the wild flowers by the wayside and presses them to her bosom because she loves them and loves the big outdoors. In the winter she takes out her skates and spends the evening gliding around some pond. Good beautiful exercise s her hobby. The tired business man. What does he do in his spare time? He is a poultry fancier and his every mo- ment of leisure is devoted to taking care of his prize chicks and showing them off to his friends. The soda clerk. So neat and oh! how polished. He is the ldeal of all the girls in the neighborhood. How they admire him and envy the girl who gets a smile from him. Does he spend his time admiring himself or taking the girls out? He does not. He reads the sporting page and then hies off to the prize fight and what a thrill he gets when his fu\'orila wins by a knockout, And so it is the case in all lh- tions In life. Don’t think you can' tell a persons’ hobby by his station in life or position—because you never can tell. * .. Although the chance of Herbert E. Erwin of winning the nomination for the postmastership were considered slim a week or two ago, It is now sald that he has the support of a suf- ficlent number of republican leaders to put him across the threshold of the federal buflding on West Main street. Mr., Erwin wasn't conceded a chance a few days ago. It was claimed that there enough In- fluence hostile to his selection to put him definitely out of the running. But the Observer has been told that thej situation has changed and that Mr. Erwin's influential friends in high places are strong enough to insist on his nomination, if his civil service rating Is high enough. Another interesting story is goin: around. It is rumored that sever. other prominent citizens intended t file applications for the plum but withheld their names because of their friendship for Richard Covert, expect- ing that he would be a gandidate, Be- cause of thelr friendship for him they declded not to enter a contest, They learned with surprise, after the time limit for flling applications had ex- pired, that “Dick's” name was not in- cluded. Some of them are inclined | to be—er—what's that word the boy ~-peeved, believing that their chance | in the scramble was as gopd as the next fellow’s. ..

In addreas he said: “It cannot be denied that we fought for America and that we saved her; consequently we are entitled to expect effective help !rbln her. Our government ought to the courage to tell this to Ameri people.” The senator's explanatory mh- ment is as follows: “Counting every killed soldier "as frepresenting 100,000 francse of capl destroyed and each mutilated ol 60,000 francs, France, Great B and Italy with 2,660,000 dead and 000,000 mutllated, suffered a caplital loss of 416 billion gold fi Adding.500 billion in new. debty 160 billion for reparations this sents for the three countries : 3,065 billions, or 8,520 per head of popula~ tion. , “The United BStates, with §9,000 dead, 100,000 mutilated and a 106 billion war debt, bears only 1,000 gold francs per head. The total amount for the three allies and America taken together, represents 5,025 gold francs per head of population. “Consequently, to bear a fair share the Americans ought to pay an ad tional 4,025 gold francs per head, that is to say, about 88 billion dollars, in- stead of clalming 12 billion dollars trom Europe, “Nobody has courage enough te dare to say this to the Americans.
