Multiplication of automobiles have brought many problems which must be solved, This transportation in- vention has progressed o swiftly | that the laws everywhere have lag- ged behind, despite the proriciency} of the average legislator in passing new statutes. ‘What is greatly needed is a specles of uniform laws covering automo- biles in all the states. Under the present system each state passes such laws “regulating” them as it sees fit, and few agree upon what particular angle of the situation needs the passage of laws, and they disagree as to the character of law upon the same point. As every auto- ist crosses state lines more or less the difference in laws frequently is very annoying, to put it mildly. INSPECTING BUILDINGS One cannot help being well pleas- | ed at the self-evident watchfulness of the city building department in seelng that buildings that threaten to e unsafe are properly looked after. The day is past when any kind of a building could be left standing in | the city, its deficiencies not known until something happens. It s the building department's business to enforce the building laws, and happily it is not a question of | having the laws minus enforcement. HIGH SCHOOL LEARNING It is gratifying to have it em- phasized on page one that the New *Britain high school is not so bound up In athletles and what are termed extra-curricula affairs as to find its | first that two such highly honored | | President Coolidge and Secretary of | of the government will guide itself PLAINVILLE'S COMPLAINT One cannot find fault with Plain- ville for being opposed to the dis- posal of garbage from New Britain within its borders. New Britain would not look kindly upon the dis- posal of garbage from Hartford in this city; would not care to have Plainville make such disposal here. It turns out that Plainville’s ac- tion, which takes effect when the present contracts expire, will com- plete the ring of towns around New Britain which have forbidden the disposal of garbage from this city within thelr borders. This probably will mean that New Britain will be faced with a more acute garbage disposal problem than ever before. It anything, the situation is a staunch argument for an incinera- tor. COBB AND SPEAKER Exoneration of Tyrus Raymond Cobb, all-round baseball kingpin for a generation, and Tris Speaker, an- other star of the diamond, of charges they “threw” a game years ago comes as satisfactory mid-winter baseball fodder to the millions who have learned to revere their names | as among the best in the baseball | o,y ing this unique compilation of little known and suspected facts. firmament. The two men are now cleared of all suspiclon of having done wrong. The decision was not a “whitewash,” as Commissioner Landis was care- ful to emphasize, but was based upon the dictates of justice. It was {inconceivable from the and responsible players had ever stooped so low as to be identified with a crooked deal. The decision but reflects what the public had de- cided from the first upon the strength of the *“evidence” furnish- ed by the disgruntled player on the Pacific coast who did not have enough faith in his charges to face the men whose characters he at- tempted to blacken. | ICAN ARBITRATION LIKE WORLD COURT The U. 8. Senate, having given | State Kellogg ample warning of its attitude toward Mexico, it is logical to suppose that the executive branch accordingly. The Senate resolution | for arbitration of differences be- | the village tween this government and Mexico, | passed by the unanimous vote of 79 to 0, was decisive enough to leave no doubt as to the attitude of the | upper house. Though the resolution is not binding upon the President and the secretary of state, its effect | cannot be otherwise than a guiding | star of governmental policy. It means that if the executive hows| along a contrary path with Mexico and attempts to negotiate different- ly, the result will receive poor sup- port when laid before that body for ratification. The President and the sccretary of | state heretofore has taken the posi- population in excess of the country as a whole. The statistics are glven in Studies,” by C. Luther Fry, who in RAPID INCREASE IN VILLAGE POPULATION The common conception of Amer- ican Mfe is that the cities are grow- ing bigger while the country dis- tricts are steadily losing in popula- tion. It has been the custom for gen- erations to divide the nation’s popu- lation into two classes, those who live in citles and those who live “in the country.” Now comes statistical information that this classification is eroneous; that heretofore the vil- lages have been entirely overlooked. The villages, far from deteriorating, degenerating or growing less in im- portance, show a record of univer- sal growth that will surprise observ- ers who have been concentrating their gaze upon the growth of the citles. Villages are places of from 250 to 2500 population. From 1900 to 1920 their population has Increased 48 per cent. The population increase of the nation as a whole during that pe- riod increased 39 per cent. Villages are increasing and adding to their detail in “American Village behalf of the Institute of Social and Religious Research, spent years in The villages are growing two and a half times faster than the popula- tion of the open country. One person out of every eight of our entire population lives in a village. “Villages are worth investi- gating,” Dr. Fry declares, “not only because so little is known about them, but also because they are steadily becoming an ever larger element of the na- tion’s rural population. Indeed, they are growing so rapidly that the question arfes whether a considerable part of the exodus from the open country is not to the village rather than to the city.” The conclusion is inevitable that the people in the villages, forming such a large element in our social fabric, possess a real significance in our life today. That they are a sig- nificant stabilizing factor Mr. Fry gladly concédes. Men who have won ! independence in industry and trade are largely represented in village | lite, and they are more predominant- | ly native white than in the ciffes. Home owning is more frequent in retired farmers are plentiful; clergymen are numerous; small manufacturing, and sometimes large manufacturing, abounds and is more iuiportant in the villages the | country over than trade!

At the bi-weekly meeting of the ‘Woman's club this afternoon Princi- pal Marcus White of the normal school spoke on “Unity of the Mental Life."” A special town meeting was held last. night, with about 75 persons present. It was voted to authorize the selectmen to expend $60,000 in completing the grammar school and to employ on inspector. The money will be raised by a bond issue. Mr. Buell and O. F. Curtis clashed over whether or not the walls of the Boyle building were of the proper thickness. ‘When asked this morning when the new subway would be used, City Engineer Oldershaw replied, “Ask the recording angel.” Subway Chair- man Johnston said the electric com- pany showed no willingness to move in. The bill for rent is now due and a- check would be acceptable to the city. There is a story that the sub- way is full of gas and an explosion likely to occur, but the gas company has denled this.

SHAKING HANDS President Coolidge, in “making a record” in the hand-shaking incident | at the White House, when he clasped —more or less—45 hands a minute for 27 minutes, must have pondered at the efficlency presidential greet- ings had undergone within the last few decades. Time was when a presi- dential greeting was a more circum- spect rite, one that at least was giv- en the outward semblance of spon- taneity. Now the White House occu- | pant mows them down like a mower operating in virgin fields, the arm shooting out with trigger-like speed, with attendants on hand to keep the line in such motion as not to cause | delay.

The Senate through its resolution has taken the position | that it is really not out business| oil and mining interests; that Mexico is a sovereign state and can pass any | sort of laws that it wishes. The Sen- | ate attitude is that we have no more rihgt to dictate the nature of Mexl- can laws than Mexico, if she were | able, had the right to dictate American laws, The same thesis, fundamentally, lies at the bottom of | the controversy with Nicaragua. The Senate resolution, while ad- mitting the American government | has the right and duty to protect American lives and property in | Mexico, waxes warm when it refers | to the fact that the theory of arbi- | tration is a sound doctrine, has been repeatedly upheld by the American government, and is consonant with | our previous conceptions of applying international law.

The upshot of Dr. Fry's conclu- ions is that “on the whole the dif- ferences between village and open | country are more striking than the | differences between the villages and the cities."In other words, the people of the villages for the most part are not followers of the political, mvcial and economic conceptions of those | living in the open cuntry, particular- ly fn the west and south, where the | greatest growth In villages is regis- | tered.
