GASOLINE COMPROMISE ON ARCH STREET Construction of a gasoline station requires a building permit. That point 1s now firmly established in New Britaln, according to the building commission. Once upon a time such niceties may not have been necessary, but times have changed. But there is a law that gasoline stations must not be too near church buildings. Consequently when it was discovered that an en~ trepreneur intended to construct a| gasoline station upon contiguous property to that owned by the St. John's German Lutheran church the trustees of the congregation stroked thelr beards and fell into deep thought. The upshot of the deep thought was that “strong objections” were forthcoming. Now for the compromise. Give the civic authorities credit for be- ing expert compromisers. No hub- by, atter a discussion with his wife, ever was a better compromiser. The result: The gasoline station, after a permit therefor is obtained, | can go up; but if the church so- ciety ever desires to expand to the neighboring lot it owns in the gen- eral direction of the gasoline sta- tion, the sald g. s. must come down. Many a gallon of gasoline will go Ject tur: up Into carbon monoxide gas before | that happens. HIGHWAY CONTRACTS Fifteen contracts for the con- structlon of state roads, bridges and culverts have been awarded, and none in this vicinity. The state is to get 17 more miles of new highway | and five new bridges and culverts. The bridges and culverts appear to be a big item in the outlay. In the opinion of most users of | the state highways, there is a se- | rlous lack of mew work of conse- | quence. It appears to be the plan to retain the status quo for a few | years. We hear talk of new roads, of widenings, or “parallel high- | ways,” and the like, but the talk doesn’t develop into much action. When 15 contracts involve only | 17 miles of new highway the work | doesn’t amount to much. { A FOOLISH REFERENDUM In New York a new idea has struck Tammany Hall. There being | much talk as to whether the five- cent fare should be retained, it is | planned to place the issue on the balots for a popular referendum | in November. This is called taking the subject out of politics. There can be little doubt as to the outcome of any such referen- dum. Such a vote would amount to smoke screen, camouflage to hide the real issue. The public will overwhelmingly | vote for the five cent fare; it would just as overwhelmingly vote for a three-cent fare, for rides, L" given the chance. | But such voting does not touch transportation:eco- nomics.

What impresses particularly in the motor coach folder issued by the New Haven is the quality of the service rendered.

Yet at the present Chicago, at a hearing before a sec- tion of the Interstate Commerce Commission, bus operation by rail- roads was condemned as an evil by moment, in some witnesses. The New Haven has the western part of Connecticut pretty well covered with bus routes; the east-| ern half is slightly less covered; | while between East Hampton and Willimantic there is a hiatuss Rhode Island and eastern Massa- chusetts are covered by busses al- most as thoroughly as by trains, a line even running to the tip Of Cape Cod. 1t the operation of busses by the New Haven's trolley subsidiaries are added the rallroad undoubted- ly will be judged the greatest rail- road bus operator in the country. - 1t Frenchmen read that Sam In-| sull was giving away money as lav- | ishly as he did they will naturally wonder why Uncle Sam cannot do | the same, One of the amusing instances of | summer journalism is the agitation | fostered by the Boston Post for a | union of the United States and Canada.

Women are engaged in another struggle — sex equality before the law. They don't want too much special protection any more. Special legis- | lation, they say, does not mean equality. Their creed is complete economic equality between the sexes. Organized women's groups, how- ever, are In disagreement as to how such readjustment is to be brought about, and not all women belong to those who desire sex equality. As a result of these differences of opinion a definite split in the “women's occurred. The whole theory of special leg- islation for women has been chal- lenged. The U. 8. Department of Labor is being flooded with requests for statistics regarding women in industry. The women’'s bureau of the de- | partment referred to has responded with “a comprehensive investiga- tion of all the special laws regulat- ing the employment of women to determine their effects.” The National Woman's Party holds that the establishment of sex equality as a legal principle is the first essential to ultimate economic equality. This party is working for an amendment to the federal con- stitution, to read: | “Men and women shall have equal rights throughout the | United States and every place | subject to its jurisdiction.” ! Similar amendments to state con- | stitutions are likewise supported by this group. The idea behind the sex equality scheme is that women be no longer | barred from some occupations for any special reason, and that their| work in any occupation be not dif- ferent from that of men in the same occupation. In other words, that all occupa- tions be open to both sexes on an equal basis. According to this, all stricting the hours of women work, and all other restrictions, | | | | re- | at laws would be barred. At first glance this would appear | a fine proposition for the large em- | ployers of women; but the idea is| not so much to clongate conditions | “protecting” women so that they be similar to those applying to men, but to bend the conditions apply- ing to men to be similar to those | | applying to women. Most employers of labor are in a quandary; the proposed scheme may help or it may hurt. At this stage nobody seems certain of the effect. One out of every five women, ten years of age or over, was gainfully employed in 1920. The exact total was 8,149,511, This was an increase | of half a milllon over 1910. The greatest was clerical mobile factories, the entire iron and steel industry, in- | | i | in but in auto- | increase occupations; and women showed a remarkable crease as semi-skilled operatives. In the automobile factories the increase was 1,408 yper cent, or from 8§48 to 12,788 in the ten years. During that time the number of | men increased only 435.5 per cent. These figures, of based upon the 1920 course, are census, the latest available; th probably has been a substantial increase that time. since According to a study published Bureau in 1923, nearly 2,000,000 married women in the employed.

Manufacturers a class have opposed some special women's leg- islation, but not the principle of such legislation. The general attitude of the group may be gleaned from the following resolution passed by the U. S. Chamber of Commerce in 1920, by a vote of 1,687 to 2: as NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, JULY 30, 1926. | 8Send all communications to Fun Shop Editor, care Of the New Britain Herald, and your letter will be forwarded to New York.

If he’s over 40, he can forgive the boss for everything except being & female. Ah, well; the only justification re< quired for a third term is general properity. A husband is a man who submits to bossing in order to dodge re- sponsibility. Virtue, with some people, is just a result of getting sleepy at 9 o’'clock. A resort is a place where it's all right to wear riding breeches even though you can't ride. Example of innocence: Telling the gas man to fill the tank, and then not counting the gallons. The difference between an artist and an artisan is that the artist counts praise as part of his wage. To Chicago folk it must seem odd to see professionals fighting with gloves instead of guns.
