SEPTEMBER 20, 1924 o) Tt wil be remembered that New, once a scwator, was defeated for the renomination by ex-Semator Albert J, Beveridge, a downfall that New blamed entirely on the machin- ations of Senator \Watson, who as state boss refused to “support” New.

And with Gov. McCray, a Repub- lican, in the penitentiary for finan- cial jugglery while in office, plenty of honest Hoosiers may become pre- judiced against the party.

Then there is the Klan| issue, with Boss Watson admittedly | permitting the state G, O. P. organ- ization 1o be dominated by the robed grandees. And last, but not sub- merged, is the boring of the La Foll- ette party, which is threatening to roll up a startling vote among dis- gruntled. Hooslers, most of which is sald to be subtracted from Repub- lican prospects. 1f the Republicans carry Indiana this year it will be & political miracle. The situation in Ohlo is not so complicated. Once a rock-ribbed Republican state, it has sprung leaks al times, rtain and in the political scas several and today has six Democratic rep- resentatives in Congress, and 16 Re- | publicans, Normally it might yet be regarded as Republican, but the Third Party is strong in the indus- trial cities and is proving a help to Davis.

In the town of Seymour like in this ecity the rallroad eompany has dealt a sad blow to autolsts who used rallrond property near the town depot to park thelr automobiles. Automobiles compete with the trana- ‘portation companies and on general principles the company did not re- gurd itself as being called upon fo furnish free parking space to the contraptions which more than any- thing else tend to reduce receipts at the ticket windows. ymour's automobile population, or that portion of it which used the railroad property as a, handy park- ing place, is vexed at the difficulty ot finding sufficient parking places while car owners spend the day In d t shop, factory or store. The railroad company evidently is not using the property. If it had made a nominal charge for parking privileges it could have earned & profit. The difficulty of finding suitable spots for parking cars is one that ir- ritates automobile owners in all towns and cities, particularly the latter, The man who rides to work in an automobile dislikes exceeding- Iy to walk five minutes from his place of employment after he has brought his car to a stop. Conditions |in New Dritain ang not yet as bad as they will get, for with the devel- opment of the downtown section it is likely that places now ‘used to park cars will be bullt up, so that there will be a contraction of avail- able space, although the nunmber of automobiles needing to be parked will increase. —_— New England Week probably greatly stimulated New England in- Adustries, but it did no good to the Boston baseball teams in the Na- tional and American leagues.

BOYS’ CLUB CORPS WINS AWARD AT SPRINGFIELD —_— Captures ThirdPrice In Competition At Eastern States Exposition— Extra Points For Marching The Boys' Club fife and drum corps has been awarded third prize of $30 in the junfor competition at the Eastern States exposition at Springfield, according to an an- nouncement recelved by Superin- tendent Dwight Skinner this morn- ing. The local corps, which played {on Tuesday, made a fine impression on the judges be@use of its excel- lent marehing, for which it was warded extra points. This showing on the part of the| boys is surprisingly creditable, for the corps has been formed less than |a year and féw of the boys had done anything along fifing or drumming | lines hefore organization last De- cember. They made rapid progress under the guldance of Peter Me- Crann, a member of the Y. M. T. A. & B. corps, and were not allowed to |appear in public until they were {deemed fully fit. Their first appear- nce was in the American Legion |parade in Torrington, while New | Britain got its first glimpse of them |on Defense Day. At Springfield they |competed against organizations ;“hlrh are much older, but were on | edge and were awarded third money.

Many of them have pald for their homes secure in the be- llef that they would be unmolest- ed by the construction of unsight- ly buildings, In order to protect their homes trom depreciation they have been forced to buy out the speculator at an exorbitant price. A more despicable adventure in real estate is difficult to imagine than the purchase of a& site in or- der to get blood money out of the man next door. 8o far as the law is concerned, it is legal. The cow- ard who sets out to force & sale by these tactics realizes that he can- not e put in jail and because there is no law under which he can be punished he has had free fila;. The new ordinance will have a ten- dency to make a tricky speculator think twice before he buys up va- cant property. It was also explained at the meet- ing of the common council that permits for buildings which would not be permitted under the pro- pesed zoning regulations have been sought. Property owners, reallzing that they cannot carry out thefr plans when the zoning laws become effective, are attempting to rush them through. This will be checked with the new ordinance so that the zoning arrangement will not have been prepared in vain. .. ‘“The moon and the weather often change together, but the moon has no effect on the weather,” according to an old saying. But there are people who believe the moon has a bearing on the weather. That they are wrong is in- dicated by a communication to the Boston Herald by C. F. Marvin, chief of the U. 8. weather bureau in Wash- ington. The communication was sent to that paper after a number of correspondents to it had started a discussion over the moon’s influence upon the weather. Because of its autharitative source we pass it on to readers: ; The relation of the moon to weather has been the subject of exhaustive studies, especially by the Germans. These investigations showed that the moon has no appre- clable effect on the temperature, wind, rainfall or any other weathor element. “The chief way the moon cgn and does minutely affect the temperature of the earth fs by the perturbations it causes in the earth's course about the sun. Howeover, this effect *can only be computed, as it.is too small (roughly, only the fiftieth part of one degree) to be certainly detected in our eraperature data. This cal- culation was published in the Month- )y Weather Review, page 347, 1914, Perhaps the idea that the weath- er Is coldest at and near full moon had its origia as follows: The weath- er is, as a rule, cocler on clear nights than cloudy. On'cloudy, hence relatively warm nights, one does not of course see the mcon even at times of full, or neue full, moon. On clear nights, hence cool ones, one does see the moon, if it Is up, and is apt to note the beauty of the evening. “In this way moonlight, and the full, or near full, moon becomes as- sociated with rc'atively cool weather though the phase of the moon had no part whatever in causing the coolness.” . It 1s not generally known outside of the fraternity that the Knights Templars have a scholarship system and that it was liaugurated by H. Wales Lines of Meriden, for 38 years grand treasurer of the Knights Tem- plars. The Grand Encampment of the Knights Templars at its triennial ses- sion held in Naw Orleans in April, 1922, established a revolving edu- cational loan furd which is‘to be available to assist worthy and needy students in obtalning loans to aid them in compieting the last two years of their course in normal schools, colleg2s and universities. The Grand ¥ncampment also os- tablished an edugcation endowment fund, of which only the income can be used, by levying an assessment of $1 per annum on each knight. one- half of which was to form a part of total fund.

The bell clangs furi- ously, apprising the gate-tender of the fact that a train is approaching. He puts down his pipe, rushes to the crank-box, and another clangor grisés, warning traffic that the gates are to bedowered. The watchman turns the, crank. Down swing the gates, a last car bouncing across just before they reach the horizontal. Hurrying pedestrians dart around the ends of the wing gates and elther rush across in panicky fear or saunter slowly over the tracks with evident satisfaction that they are not frightened off by a mere raillroad train, Then pause. Foot traffic stops, women doing their shopping begin to wonder it that last buy wasn't a bad bargain, mes- senger boys gloat over the few ex- tra minutes away frem the office. Automobiles, snorting at the delay, wait impatiently to resume their ca- reer. The gong of the patrol wa- gon ceases and justice must walt. Crushed rock trucks lumber to a halt while time-pressed contractors curse the delay. Motion ceases. Even the wind seems to pause for the moment, awaiting the onrush of the steel glant, And, then, with a chug and a wheezo, a tiny gas car scoots out from the covering butld- ings, darts across tle street on the polished roils, and is gone. Anti- climax, That part of the public which has occasion to enter poltce headquai ters voluntarily and without protest, is glad to see Captain George J. Kel- ly back behind the desk after several weeks' absence on account of iliness. | swivel chair strategists, There are few police officlals as popular as Cap'n George. Although hie never ran for office, he always has a cheerful greeting for the chance visitor and makes one feel at home, if one can feel or wants to feel at home in a police station. While Captain Kelly was in a hos- pital in Boston, there was a constant piigrimage in that direction. Few residents of New Britin who were acquainted with him, failed to stop at his bedside at the hospital when they were in the “Athens of Ameri- ca.” Few patients had more visit- ors and they all took to him the wish of his friends that he would regain his health and come back to the “old home town."” ‘That the silly season has not clos- ed is shown by the attempt made at the meeting of the common council Wednesday night to limit the power of the mayor by requiring him to submit to the council a list of his uppointees to ‘eomMissions. To the credit of the council, let it be re- called that the project was voted down with a dull thed which must have tdken the stareh out of its sponsors, The effort to annoy the mayor was purely political, and its signifi- cance was quickly grasped by those independent members of the Repub- lican party who cannot stomach everything just because it happens to have the approval of the bosses. Certain members of the councll seem to take delight in shooting barbed darts in the direction of His Honor. The proposal requiring him to submit the list of appointees was a barbed dart and nothing more. Its passage would not contribute to the happiness of the city and would leave the door open for more un- pleasant political activity on the part of the “antis,” who like to have a finger in every pie that is cut. The members who fostered the proposi- tion and the few who supported it must have felt cheap when a vote was counted. Although restrictions may not become effective for more than a yéar, public works officials are con- sidering the probability of Hart- ford avenue and Elm streets be- coming one-way thoroughfares be- tween Fast Main street and their Junctions with It is sald that the public works commission will gladly lay a pe that section fected if the pplice- !n:llo #0 that oni; vehicles are pei ., A8 part of the same pre “.:ll“m(- flo coming into- New/Britain from the north would be shunted into Hartford avenue and would be di- verted away from Elm street. As the automobile Increas: trucks take up the burden of me! ‘chandise transportation, new regu lations must become effective. Un- der present conditions Hartford avenue is unsafe for drivers as well as for pedestrians and children. It Is thickly populated, the younger people spending part of the time in the stregt where they are in cons stant danger of heing run 3 They are also a menace to d and many narrow escapes fro cldent arg reported to take weekly. v It would be reasonable to adopt onesway traftic rules for Hartford avenue and Elm street, Such a plan would relleve congestion on the avenue €nd expedite traffic In both directions. All is not well with repubiacany in the fifth senatorial district. The nomination of Huntington P, Meech of West Hartford was engineered last Wednesday with little opposi- tion but he may learn that it is one thing to win a nomination &nd another thing to' win a election.; It is doubtful whether Mr, Megc! will receive the ethusiastic supgpor! of all republicans in the district He will be backed by the il Guard leaders, who brought abpui his nomination, but resentment ex. Ists in the rank and file In Bristol and Southington. In the Bell eity are several who would have Ilked to secure the nomination. Their names were nentioned before Mr. Meech saw fit to announce his can- didacy and they believed they were entitled to the support of their fel- low townsmen. But in Bristol you must belong to the ultra-set, the who puff on Havana clgars and give orders The candidacy of the Bristol as pirants was received coldly and when they realized that they could not have the hacking of the ma chine they wisely withdrew and ac cepted the situation with as goo! grace as possible, It s said that the democra! have a splendid cWance of sendin a man to the state senate from ti district. 25 Vears Ago Toda: From Papet of That Date ord-bound place Superintendent Stuart said that bicycle skirts werq all right for kindergarten teachers, but he did not think the time had yet come when grade teachers should wear ‘em short. .

Whether the election of Mr. Harding was a disapproval of having any- thing to do with the League is a question, as many Republicans doubties: voted for him bechuse, under him, they hoped, soonef or later, mort practically to enter into relations with other countries.
