Patrons on parts of the New Haven in Con- necticut have been clamoring for it. Yet here is the Boston and Maine deliberately giving up the gasoline coach in favor of busses, preferring to run only freight trains on the branch line from which the gasolne vehicles were taken.

That same songs never grow old is more than a mere saying, is proven by a monthly catalog issued by a profninent concern which makes talking machine records. The list fssued for October 1, 1924, among the latest song hits also in- cludes many that were popular in earlier generations, That old time thriller “The mad scene from Lucla Di Lammermoor,” again comes into popularity. The old time violin fav- orites “Flower Song,” and *Hearts and Flowers,” again are found on the shelves as are the famous marches “American Patrol,” “Up the Street,” “Washington Post March,” while a new selection contains a strain from “Sally in Our Alley.” “'Mid the Green Fields of Vir. ginla,” and “The Girl I Loved in Sunny Tennessee,” favorites of a geperation ago, the latter selection by the same composer as “After the Ball,” again have made their ap- pearance. Two waltzes popular for yvears are listed, “Estudiantina,” and “Car- mena.” Among the religious selec- tions one finds “God W{ll Take Care of You,” “I Would be Like Jesus," “Lead Kindly Light,” “O Come, All Ye Faithful,” “Come, Thou Al. mikhty King,” “Holy, Holy, Holy.” This is the day of the politician. There are tall politicians and short ones, thin and fat, all shapes, sizes and colors. There is the big politi. cians with a voice like a peanut whistle and the little shriveled up politician whosg tones are ‘like a broadside from a battleship. There are politiclans who think, politicians | who think they think and politiclans who think the pcople think they think. There are politicians whose facts are as scarce as plums in a plum pudding made in commercial | quantities, There are politicians who have no facts at all. Then there are those who can quote facts like machine gun bullets, =0 many that the audience loses 99 per cent of them. There are politicians who | tell the truth and politiclans who favor your opponent. There is the | handshaking politician with a grip | like a vise and the conservative, dif- ferent novice who passes out some- thing which feels like a dead fish | and calls it a hearty greeting. There | are Republican politicians shouting for La Follette and Demoeratic poli- | ticians who will vote for Coolidge and independent politicians who will vote for Davis. This 1s the day of the politician— and the night, too. 1 ' While many miles removed from the scene, the Observer heartily lends whatever small influence he has to the appeal of the Bristol fire- men for the adoption of a two- platoon system {n that city. A glance back over this column will convince the reader that this is no new attitude, because the Observer spoke openly in favor of introdue- ing the system in New Britain sev- eral years ago. Judging solely from externals, the | life of a fireman consists mainly of sitting down playing cards and re- sponding to an alarm occasionally. But this picture does not tell hailf the story. A fireman is entitled to live as other people liye. If he is married, he should be permitted to spend part of his time with his wife and children, If he is not married, he should be allowed regular time for indulging in those restful and recreative activities in which young men indulge. In other words, he should have time for work and time for play, as other human beings nave, Slavery ended with the close of the Civil War. The people of Bristo] must realize that they are backward in not in- stalling a two-platoon system before this. The Bristol fire department fs | manned by competent men, who will not shrink from the duty of smash- ing their way thyough smoke.and flame when human life or property are at stake. They are loyal to their calling and a pride to the city in whose employ they are. The Bristol fire commission favors the two-platoon system. The respon- sible city officlals who will pass on this project should make up their | minds now to push it through. If they want statistics, let them ques. iflon Chief Noble of the New Britain fire department. He will tell them that the spirit of the men has im. proved and that the New Britain department, under the two-platoon system, is 100 per cent more effi- cient than it was before this city woke up from its trance and made |\he system effective.

Within the past year a large number of wholesale deal- ers or jobbers have come into exist- ence, attracted, no doubt, by the high prices which prevail. Many of them have had dreams of becoming rich overnight and some of them have accomplished their alm. The reduction in price of gasoline this week is acecpted as an indica~ tion that the big companies are go- ing to shake the little companies out. So precipitate a drop as four cents in one day stirred the indus- try into depths. Jobbers who had large stocks on hand, or who placed orders before the reduction in price was announced, are in a fair way to become bankrupt unless they are well supplied with reserve ecapital. Those who canrot take their loss must go to the wall. 1t was stated that the price dropped because of the large sur- plus on the hands of the big com- panies and the approach of the sea- don when consumption decreases. This is partly true but there may be something to the story that the sifting process has begun and the jobbers of limited means are to be swept out of the industry, Further reduction in the price to automobile owners is anticipated. Although 17 cents a gallon was general since the reduction was announced, there are rumors that it may be less before another weck has passea. P With the closing of the outdoor dancing season in Hartford tonight, it is announced that patronage at the dance pavilion in Colt's park has been greater this year than since its opening seven years ago. This should give the New Britain city government something to think about. Agltation for an open air dance pavillon in this city has been allowed to lag since efforts have such a place-constructed at Walnut Hill park were blocked bu the day is coming when the common coun- il must respond to the feelings of the young people and grant their demands for a place to enjoy them- selves on summer evenings, of Hartford, The price of admis- sion is ten cents. This would lead to the helief that it is patronized by a rough element. The opposite is true. Perect order is maintained on the floor by two censors, one male and one femule, who quickly and quletly stop any obpectionable danc- ing. A small force of policemen is stationed ip the vicinity although the men in blue have little work to do as the majority of dancers are well behaved and secm to be en- grossed only in having a good time dancing. There {is no reason why an open air dance pavilion fn this city could not he made to pay for itself, as the pavilion at Colt's park does, without any ob- jectionable features. e ey Diplomacy Little Hans—Father, beat me.

Walker, attorney for Frank Gould, The attorney, speaking for Frank Gould and his sister, Anna, now the Duchess de Talleyrand, made these statements in demanding that the trustees, who also included two heirs, Howard Gould and Mrs. Kin- ley. Bhepard, restore to the estate money lost in deals which violated the provisions of the will of Jay Gould, tather of the six children and founder of the estate. J Frand Gould and the duchess ask- ed the accounting on the grounds that since they were minors in 1892 when their father dled, they were not appointed executors, -and their interests had not been properly pro- tected, One of the provisions they allege was violated was that the will stated the estate should be kept in | six separate parts, for the benefit of each, whereas it had been com- mingled, In this process, Mr. Walker stated, the sound assets, consisting of bonds, mortgages, etc., had shrunk from 40 per cent to one per cent.

P, | By The Associated Prers. Des Moines, Ia, Oct. 4.—Benztor Smith W. Brookhart yesterday threw down the gauntlet to the mnational and state republican organizations with an attack on the records of President Coolidge and Charles G. Dawes the republican nominees for president and vice-president and in doing so announced “a repudiation of land a bolt from the republican ‘part)” according to a report of the { Towa republican central cammittee. The committee's report declared that the senator had by his public utterances made a self-impelled boit from the party. This bolt, the report said, was the | “result of a conspiracy to defeat the right of the people to elect a presi- dent at the polls” thereby throwing | the election into congress. | “It is our bellef” the report con- | tinued,, “that this action on the part | of Senator Brookhart has been in- | spired by the heads of the Lalolletic party for the malicious purpose of | attempting to turn the attention of voters from the rcal issues of the campagin”. | While the committee was still de- | bating its course, Senator Brookhart | was deltvering his address at Em- | metsburg, in which he attacked the | president and explained that points | of issue between President Coolidge | and himself. He departed from his | set speech only to include a state- ment he made public earlier in the | day in which he again called upon the Republican National Committee to ask for the resignation of Mr. Dawes. continued | S ey i Cut fish #licu have flesh of | firm appearance and a close grain. in Egypt. a __—_________—-—-—————'—__'— _____________-—————————'___—___——————"'_____—————_—‘—-_\ DR.
