So far aware, no stone is being quarried along the New Jersey coast. as we are NEEDS OF JUNIOR HIGH 0f lack of schools there seems to be no end. The increase of school pupils in New Britain during the past ten years has been 537 each year, of which 50 per cent attended the public schools and 20 per cent the parochial schools. This steady an- nual increase would fill a new school space in building every year. Conditions at the Central Junior High school, made public by the superintendent of schools, means that accommodations in this de- partment of the city school system need radical improvement. Possible | failure to provide adequate accom- modations for 200 junior high pu- pils the ccming season is an outlook tha#1s not particularly encouraging. It may mean the construction of another junior high school buflding at an early date. The city has been expending a pretty Denny upon new school buildings, and has a pretty penny yet to spend before conditions | are as they should be. WHEN EXTRA CARE IS NEEDED To read of the death of a lad, Killed by the wheels of a truck, en- lists poignant sorrow and sympathy throughout the community. There are some strects which by their na- ture are likely to yleld such fatali- ties, and Hartford avenue is one. Scores of children are constantly playing along the sidewalks, and it would appear to be the quintessence of reason for truck and automobile drivers to take these facts into ac- count when driving along the thor- oughfare. Against the hazards of a child darting into the street in front of an approaching car there is no defense except slow driving, good brakes and eternal watchfulness. What amounts to reckless driving on one street does not come under the same category on another. It is one of our mistakes to regard all streets as the same. There are some streets every well populated city along poor in which 15 miles an hour is judgment. Children are thoughtless and where there are many of them the same conditions do not prevail as on streets where they are few in number. SEVIL?

SMALLER PAPER MONEY One novelty follows another out of Washington. After having seen various colors and shapes of two- cent stamps circulating the past year, special stamps which memorated this or that historic in- cident, we now are to be treated to a more permanent change, one af- fecting our pocketbooks, and also | affecting the annual outgo of the | government itself. In this age of theoretical economy, whatever saves the government money will meet with the approval of citizens who pay the taxes. As a reduction in the size of bank notes will enable the government to “save” $2,000,000 a year in the production of greenbacks and other types of paper currency, we are for it Our paper currencd {3 to be re- duced in size one and one-third inches in length and three-quarters of an inch in width. This will be quite a change; but the bank tellers, whose job it Is to handle and count bank notes with the rapldity and accuracy of automatic machinery, will not be put to much inconven- ience—at least, the inconvenience not last longer than three months. By that time all the larger sized bank notes are expected to wear out and go back to the govern- ment. Be it explained that the av- erage life of a bank note is only three months: surprising, isn't it— but that i{s what the government statistics prove. Smaller paper currency should be a boon rather than an inconvenience. Perhaps smaller bills will be lost more easily; but they won't be spent any quicker—indeed, if they stick ro longer than at present not much will be seen of the average paper currency of large denomination. Whatever their size, they go with the speed of Lindbergh crossing the \tlantic. Come on notes—and more of them, com- will with the smaller bank BINGHAM IN CHINA AT WRONG TIME Senator Bingham, without the ex- ercise of much intellect, could have chosen a better place in which to do his sight-secing than in China at the present time. The ator avers his trip to China has heen taken with the view of gaining in- formation about that country’s dif- ficulties “at first hand;” that he is there with “open mind." | No doubt he expects the Senate to listen with “marked attention” when | he makes a report of his findings | during the next Congress. Perhaps he is of the opinion the American policy toward China will be greatly influenced by what he has to report. Suppose, irstead of merely being robbed, the senator from Connecti- cut had been maimed or slain by bandits. Or, not alluding to the worst that could happen, suppose he were kidnaped. Such an eventu- ality would have becn good for columns of publicity on all the front pages throught the U. §. A. Bing- ham would have become famous overnight, and way places as Arizona, instead of the query, “Who is this Bingham, anyway,” every cowboy on the ranches would know about him as “the senator who got in wrong over in China.” Some daring spirits try to fly across the Atlantic—and one of them has succeeded—and W00 fame in that fashion; but Bingham had just as good a plan—he would g0 to China. Let the bandits do their best and the fame of Bingham would be assured. If Bingham just simply must trav- el in foreign parts, he might have gone to Ireland, where there is no tighting at present. By going to Clina he was not only endangering nimself, but was endangering the peace of the entire U. S.

To the best of our knowl- edge Swampscott is about where it was befors the President called, and the nearby city of Lynn with its up-and-doing Chamber of Com- merce is In about the same general condition now as before—except that the city has a mayor who is intent upon bringing to it more free advertising than the proximity of the President rs ago brought. The same holds good Paul Smith, N. Y., In the vicinity of which President Coolidge last Year.

Jecause,” 1id Uncle Rufus ¥'d have got all the fish in t ograph, I'd have been so small in the picture I couldn’t have been seen with the | naked eye.
