According to this eompilation, which by now is part of the mental equipment of every loyal 100-per cent citizen, the city boasts 80,000 souls. We were inclined to append the phrase “more or less,” but refrain from doing so because of -the penchant of adding or subtracting too much. Besides, 80,000, no more, no lf‘sSv sounds good enough to us. We trust Postmaster Herbert E. Erwin is correct in his view. The postmaster is correct at least nine times out of ten, and that is some- 1hing. Some of us are correct often- er, but we are not all postmasters. Calling attention to the fact that the counting of noses prime occupation of a loyal citizen, we beg leave to question the portance of the figures, this regarg- less of their veracity. The city to- day doesn’'t look, feel or seem & bit different to us than when we thought it numbered 70,000, Has the addition of 10,000 added any- thing to the richness of life as we live it? Has it added to our happi: ness? Has it made us more impor- | tant, or do we just feel more im- portant? There are many cities with more men, women and chil- dren encompassed in their boun- daries than our grand total of 80,- 000; but does that make them bet- ter cities than New Britain? We pause for replies. There are none. Well the first 100,000 may be the hardest. e BOYS AND GIRLS One gang of boys and girls sacks the Scenic theater, bringing the close of that earliest of the city's movie theaters to an ignominious finish. On the outskirts of the city youth places a tie on the railroad iracks with a view toward wreck- ing a& train which killed his dog the year before. ‘Well might the elders ask, “What's the matter with them, any- way?” The attack on the Scenic theater was especially reprehensi- ble. Children who do not possess a regard for property will scarcely gain In such respect as they grow older. A noted writer the other day an- nounced that parental neglect was the greatest characteristic of the age, He did not mean parental neglect due to poverty or lack of means; he means a different sort of neglect, the kind that can be nur- tured in the homes of the rich as well as the poor. Sometimes we are inclined to think he was right. a “TAXING THE FILMS"” WITH MORE VIGOR One is at a loss to understand why the honotable Legislature is so bent upon “taxing the films" The former law—or the present one— being a notable failure, the gentle- men who sit up nights devising ways and means of exacting taxes in order to pay for the * you go” policy, have devised a more stringent instead of a modi- fied method of soaking the film in- dustry. All they now want pay as is a tax of four per cent on the gross re- ceipts. 2 This means that out of every dol- lar paid by the moving picture con- sumers, four cents would go to the This would ancy sum of money, cnough to pay the salaries of a doz en or more economy commis and perhaps a half hundred com- missioners Much indignation Ievled against the of the fede were justified costs of the war, support of the state. ate a rather ions formerly uisance taxes" ment. These on account of the a fact, it will be remembered, that did not placate the public very much.

MORE MONEY NEEDED FOR FLOOD SUFFERERS No one need be surprised at the announcement from Red Cross headquarters that twice as much money is needed as has been an- ticipated for the reltef of Mississip- Pl flood sufferers. The reason 1s simple—the flood is twice as enor- mous as had been anticipated. The call comes from the Presi- dent of the United Staltes after he had conferred with Secretary Her- bert Hoover, back from the scene. Those who heard the impassioned plea of Secretary Hoover Saturday night, with hid vivid description of the vast waters rolling by just two blocks from where he was speaking into the microphone, will not doubt in the least that the needs are ur- gent. This means that New Britain, meet its second quota, will have g0 over the top once again. every man, woman and child in New Britain decided to give 25 cents each to the noble cause of alleviating the condition of the people in the Mississippi valley who had been bereft of home and prop- erty the two quotas would be over- subscribed many times over. The worst flood in a century re- quires heroic effort. Descriptions of this overwhelming visitation of na- ture leave one spellbound with hor- ror. Daily towns down the river, heretofore thought safe from rav- | ages, are inundated as the ocean of | | rushing water breaks through {levees or dashes over their top. Let conscience be the guide. to to bid THAT COINCIDENCE It is worth pausing to consider | the number of chances in a million that the New Britainite who was “walking to Trenton” had of being met by a party or person from this city. His chance of being picked up by the ever-watchful, or at least sometimes watchful, police in New | Jersey were considerably greater | than belng scen by some friends | from the home town who might happen along by accident. Greatly to his surprise, or per- haps discomfiture, along rolled a bus containing gentlemen from the Everyman’s Bible Class, who im- mediately hailed him. Did the man | take to his heels or dive up an alley or slip up a side road? No indeed. {He threw himself entirely upon the ' merey or good will of the New Brit- |ain Samaritans, who promptly | i notified the police and had him sent | 1hack to face his | city. We'll say there was about one chance in a million for this to hap- pen; or to make it ten chances in a million. The point is, the rarefied elements necessary to produce the coincidence were fused. Such “one - chance - in - a - million | coincidences have been happening | since the dawn of time—if time |ever had a dawn. Life seems to be made up of these dences,” sometimes to our regret, | at other times to our advantage. At any event, such is life, as the N | Britainite back in town would say. 1 | | accusers in this | ‘“rare coinci- WHEN NERVE IS LACKING AT THE ALTAR One can sympathize heartily with the Worcester bride-to-be whose intended failed to show up for the wedding, and this after the organ had begun to play and the choir was ready to sing. No disappoint- ment that can come to a woman can be more poignant than being left at the church. Rightfully, there is no sympathy for the man who would be guilty of such base trick, especially one who stood so high in the community as to have the mayor one of the party of friends at the farewell dinner; less, of course, it can be shown he suffered from some sudden mental | derangement. In these days of the | high cost o' living getting married may readily causc aftlic- tion. The same thing occurred the other day in the west; and a little | before that the daughter of one of America’s prominent families was jilted when the intended bride read | of the intended hushand's marriage | to another. Perhaps such things | occur even more frequently than the papers record, as some families naturally would keep such occur- rences under cover if possible a un- | some such and often, wedding, achieved.

OUR FIRE PREVENTION HONORS Being included amongthe eities which have made notable records in the prevention of fire s something distinctly worth while, New Britain accepts the honor with due humili- ty, but in no way will-let it mter- fere with a continuation of its ef- forts to hold fire losses to a mini- mum. That rating, fortune, its good to the city has attained not by accident or but through a desire keep the city well protected against | fire, has been evident from the ex- | penditures made to increase the fire-fighting facilities. Not only have we added another fire station, but we are increasing the facilities for drilling the firemen, and have added additional men and improved the system generally. Still another fire station, in the west end, is in prospect for the next year or so, by which time the city will be better able to find the money for the pur- pose. In spite of our record and the self-evident fmprovement made in the fire department, and despite the words of approbation by the fire insurance underwriters, the New England Exchange of Under- writers has been reluctant to duce the rates in this city. It ap- parently takes a great deal to bring this about, especially as there is no compulsion about it. re- THE PREVALENT POLITICAL APATHY The heading to this may be quite a mouthful, but it is what Governor Ritchie of Maryland called it dur- ing a speech before the American Newspaper Publishers’ association. The Maryland governor owned to a dissatisfaction with present politi- cal conditions, saying nobody seems to take much interest in politics any more; half of the ps‘op]e don’t vote and the other half vote too mechanically. The apathy is largely the fault of the politicians themseclves. We sometimes think they are perfect- ly satisfied to have the public “‘apathetic,” and do their best to govern the issues accordingly. One way in which to stimulate the interest of the public in poli- tics is not to dodge the issues in which they are concerned. THE “DRY” OPPOSITION i TO GOV. SMITH Religion having been effectively placed in the background in con- sidering presidential possibilities, the opposition against Governor Smith as a candidate now turns to whether a “wet” should be elected to the White House. The opposition of the “dry on this point is more serious than the opposition in connection with his religion. It is said that the ‘“dry south” is quite willing to act sen- sibly in considering the governor's religious principles, but there still is some perturbation about his pro- hibition attitude. As a matter of fact, the feeling that a Catholic should not be nom- inated has not precvented the con- sideration of a Catholic for the nomination by many of those who opposed Smith in 1024, There was Senator Walsh of Montana, for in- stance. Senator Walsh is a Catholic, but a very “dry” one. When a com- promise candidate was broached in the famous McAdoo-Smith deadlock Senator Walsh was among the first considered. There is a story that he could have obtained the nonMnation | had he or his friends made a stren- uous effort to obtain it; but the up- shot was the nomination of Davis. The point is, however, that while Walsh was considered there was no objection against him on the score of his religion. Somehow, the Smith forces lose much force when considering candidate, regardless of his religion. This opposition to Smith is fun- damentally due to prohibition. D¢ s from the so-called “dry” sectors undoubtedly will elaim, with all the unction of deiphic oracles, that it isn't right and proper that a man “not in sy athy with the be a candidate for with anti- the dr; of a the presidency, of election. What the private opinion of the President may have to do with the 1y the red Who knows the prohibition law is admin iste nobody seems able to suy private opinion of President Coolidge, on is the President's about how it is enforced, if can judge here abouts he has nothing at all to do about it.

From what we rsonal and etary M is of gr ; yet nobody in the “dry’ country seems to hold Mr. Mellon's opinions against the administration.

Smith president of these United States, his secretary of | that do are | possibilities principle than President Coolidge's secretary, and chat the prohibition bureau would be just as dry as it ever was, if that is saying much It may be as necessary to ex- plode the idea that a man cannot be president under the prohibition law unless he thinks the law the last word in human wisdom; it may be necessary to ditch the notion generally, though not umversall)',n held that a “wet” president \\ould; or could nullify the operation of this law. Many good people seem to think the President is a sort of king, with plenary powers to discard laws he doesn’t like; that Congress is pow- | crless about it; that nobody counts | in Washington except the occupant | of the White House. It “Al” were President the pro- hibition law would continue pro- | hibiting just about like it is doing now. Two classes of people would get fooled: Those who think Smith would be able to change the law, | iand those who think he would do! s0. | FactsandFancies Fable: Once there very good man who tioned his goodness, was a never very men-| A village 13 a place where every- body knows the next morning that it's a boy.

Un- signed requests cannot be answared. All letters are confidential.—Editor. Q.—How long after a person has disappeared is he presumed in law to be dead? A.—The general rule, in regard to a long continued absence unheard of and unexplained, is that the pre- sumption’ of the duration of life ceases at the expiration of seven years from the time when the per- son was last known to be living; and after the lapse of that.period there is a presumption of death. In most of the states the subject s regu- lated by statute. There must be a diligent inquiry among those who would probably hear from such ab- sentee to raise this presumption. Q.—Has Clara Bow red hair? A—Yes, Q.—Which state ranks first in egg production? A.—Jowa ranks first in the num- ber of eggs produced and Pennsyl- vania first in the value of eggs pro- duced. Q.—Does a turtle’s heart have one or two ventricles? A.—TIt has only one ventricle or chamber from which the blood is forced into the arteries. Q—What do the initials H. R. H. stand for preceding the name of the Pringe of Wale: A.—"His Royal Highness.” Q.—How tall should a four-year- old Colorado blue spruce tree be? \ A.—Three feet it grown from a graft, and from 18 inches to two feet if grown from seed. Q—How many immigrants were admitted into the United States in 19267 ~ A.—304,488. Q—During what months of the year is bituminous coal consumed in the United States in largest quanti- ties? A.—The average weckly ton con- sumption for 1926 was as follows: January-March 12,000,000; May- July, 8,000,000; August-October, 9,- 400,000; October-December 11,200,- 000. Q.—How high does a salmon leap into the air? A.—Sometimes 10 to 15 feet. Q.—Are horses native on the American continent? A.—TFossils of the forerunner of the horse have been found on the Amerlcan continent, but it is gener- ally supposed that the American horse of today is a descendant of animals brought here by Europeans and early settlers. Q.—What is the value of a Con- federate $500 note with bust of Stonewall Jackson, issue of 18647 SNAPSHOTS 0! is Teutonlo and means Q—How can staina be removed from granite?

Work enough pipe clay (Kaolin) into this to make a thick mixture, apply to the stains and scour well with a coarse brush, then clean and rinse with Yresh water. Another method is to make a strong, hot solution of lye by dissolving three pounds of washing soda In one gallon of water and lay it on to the granite with a fiber paint Rrush. Scrub the stains and rinse Wwith clear water. Q.—What is photosynthesis? A.—A process of plant life by which carbohydrates are manufac- tured from carbon dioxide and wa- ter through the agency of chloro- plasts and light. Q-;-Why did Roman brides have the girdles of their dresses fastened with a Hercules Knot? A.—There seems to be a difference of opinion about the significance. Some historjans contend that the intent was to signify hope for a fruitful marriage; others take it to be an amulet against the evil eye. It is perhaps nearer the truth to consider it a symbol of a stable marriage and possibly it 1is the original of the “true lover's knot.” Q.—What are the functions of the president of Germany? A.—He is the chief executive of the republic much as the president of the United States and other re- publics. He appoints a cabinet which is responsible to the reichstag or legislature. Q—Does the tide run 78 feet in height anywhere in the world? A.—The highest tides known oc- cur in the upper part ® the Bay of Fundy. The average rise of the spring tide there, according to the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey, is 50 feet, 6 inches. Under exceptional conditions of storm, the tide may go considerably higher, but the maximum estimate made by any source is that these tides have been known to reach as high as 66 feet. Q.—Is Cole Younger, the outlaw, still living? A.—He died in 1916. 25 Years Ago Today Superintendent Stuart was re- elected last night for another year. The vote was 9 for and 1 blank.
