OLD BURRITT SCHOOL STILL HAS USES ‘The old Burritt school at Main and East Main streets, once aban- doned, again may be used. The old bullding, decrepid as its interior | may be in some respects, comes handy to the school board to help | house the surplus of students at the central junior high. Much as one might regret re- turning to a school building which had been regarded as no longer capable of meeting modern educa- | tional conditions, the action of the school board has much to commend it. In furnishing temporary relief | there is nothing like a few idle buildings on hand. It is now lucky that the eity did not take hasty actfon and sell the property when it was “abandoned” two years ago. The school department has many irons in the fire. The construction program is not yet completed, and to have taken up additional plans at this time probably would have created financlal and other compli- cations. Temporary use of the old Burritt building, until the affairs of the &chools can be better straightened out, ought to meet with general ap- proval under the circumstances. HIDDEN HAZARDS Dynamite has its peace-time uses; o has powder. But how are these explosives transported from where they are made to used? In the course. Which means that a freight train passing through the city may con- tain a car containing explosives suf- ficient to blow up a block. Or an automobile soaring along the highway may have such explo- sives under a seat, being taken to a quarry, or to the home of a farmer where it i3 to be used in removing stumps. where they are | ordinary method, of | {there is no {a meal in an nitro in their automobiles to blow up a town, What happened at Butler was spectacular and fatal to a number of persons. All because a truck driver did not take his job seriously enough. CARE IN BUILDING Builders who fail to meet all the requirements of the bullding ordi- nances cannot expect to remain un- molested. This is a day when Bulld- ing Inspector Rutherford is eternal- ly on the job; one reads, in fact, that he is sometimes on the job be- fore the opening of office hours. The 27 construction jobs which were stopped upon his orders were among 40 he investigatqd during a flying visit before his regular hours started. Such enterprise is as com- mendable as it is unique. The city needs to be doubly par- ticular about {ts building operations. Experiences of the past readily dic- tate such a policy, WO! OF WAITING IN RAILROAD STATION The economy craze recently ex- hibited by the New Haven railroad in the operation of stations along the tine, which resulted in radical changes in this city, has quickly borne fruit. Complaints are rife, and were it not for the fact that the railroad is “repaliring” the sta- tion official complaints would at once be taken to headquarters. A kindly disposition toward the company, it seems, will delay such officlal com- plaints until after the repairs have been completed. If at that time improvement, a pow- wow is likely. The rallroad doesn’t like these “interferences.” It wants to rum its business in its own way, and if the public doesn’t get served as expedi- tiously as it might, let the public walt, Most of the trouble in waiting in line before tickets can be purchas. ed is due to the fact that the issu- ing of tickets to persons traveling a distance requires more time than the sale of zone tickets. When both long distance and zone tickets are sold at the same window, the zone ticket buyers are likely to find ex- treme patlence an essential. A great many people don't come to a rail- road statlon loaded with patience; on the contrary, they expect reason- ably quick service. Another difficulty is that with a curtailment of clerks at the station telephone calls are delayed until a spasm of ticket selling is over. What is needed at the station is an im- formationg desk separate from the ticket sellers. The system in vogue at present 18 small town stuff. Our railroads are among the corporations worshiping the tin god of efficiency. Next to the word “service,” no other has thoroughly overworked as been so effi- ciency”. In most cases, however, the word is synonymous with a cheese- paring policy of super-economics, the substitution of cold-blooded cal- culation for the human touch. Nine times out of ten, what costs least is termed most efficient, and in the long run it may not be even slight- ly efficient. The New Haven management has been studying efficiency for so long that it is getting to be the least effi- cient railroad system in the east, all | things considered. CRUELTY TO ANIMALS Several cases of alleged cruelty to animals have cropped up In this city the past few months, the latest being ons where a man was ordered to sell or give away a pony which the court decided he had been mis- treating through lack of care. The local agent for the S. P. C. A. is to b2 congratulated upon his watchfulness. Nothing scems more detestable to the normal human be- ing than cruelty to dumb beasts.

Newspapers from the far spaces arriving irdicate that nearly all the headwriters took care to use the word “Hoch” iIn the headlines de- scribing the welcome accorded Chamberlin and Levine in Berlin. Which shows again that the tele- graph and news editors recognize a colorful word when they see it, one possessing novelty, and one which at the same time is short for use in large. e headlines. These “hochs” so plentifully dis- tributed over the headlines are twin | brothers to our own “Hail.” A few more incidents of that kind and “Hoch” probably could be an- other word has exactly the same shade of meaning. We have annexed innumerable foreign words into the language, and “hoch” loocks like a good candlidate. Only trouble is it is too near to ‘“hootch.” SPIRIT OF ST. LOUIS Ot course, it is all wrong to as- sume that Lindbergh got across the spirit of St. Louis. | his plane thus, as a tribute to the backing he recelved in the Missouri tising. The Chamber of Commerce in that city must be proud worldwide encomiums which have | flowed in that direction; the city isl wearing plumes and is proud as a| peacock. One prominent railroad has changed the name of a crack train to the Spirit of St. Louls. St. Louls is entitled to all the good repute that is due it. While St. Louis was backing the flier the remainder of the country was skeptical. It took courage as well as money to see suc- cess in the lone air mail pilot from | the west, especially after what hap- pened to other fliers. In reality, however, the Spirit of , St. Louis is the spirit of America. | | | WHERE ARE THE RESULTS OI' DRY RLFERENDA? Nothing is more popular in some of the states than talk about a | referendum on prohibition; and nothing, it would seem, is more fu- tile, judged by what has followed | such referendums. | After the prohib in New York state on in 1926, similar referendums wers carried in Illinois, Montana, Nevada and Wisconsin. The results | of thess referenda caused Governor | Smith in New York to declare: tion referendum | had been voted “What a majority of 2.000,- 000 citizens in five states affirm by vote that prohibitien statutes are unwelcome and inaffuctiva, Congress must heed that declaration.” One naturally thumbs the record | to see whether Congress really did hear tha declaration. But cne does €0 in vain. At the very time these referenda were being carried in the five states more dry congressmen were being elected than ever before, and instead of Congress doing some- thing about it, there was a tendency to do less than previously. Nothing can be done about prdhi bition until Congress is less abun dantly dry than it has been. Re- publican congressmen succeed in | straddling the question in a masterly manner. Even Republican repre- sentatives from the wet New Eng- land states, with few exceptions, say little about prohibition and sre | squarely in favor of permitting the status quo brought about by the 1Sth amendment and the Volstead act Thousands of wets have voted theso congressmen as a result of blindly following the party labs sults.

Mercury, there is reason to believe, turns on its axis in the same period it revolves around the sun, therefore always presents the same face to the sun and is boiling hot on one side and icy cold on the other, Venus, it is belleved, like Mercury, is Dofling hot on one side and cold on the other. There is no life on Jupiter as it appears red hot. Saturn, too, is too hot for water to settle on its | surface. The only planet on which there seems some possibility of life is Mars. All astronomers, however, do not agree about this. Q. Can you give me the words of the “American's Creed"”? A. “I believe in the United States of America, as a government of the people, by the people, for the people whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; = democracy in a republic; a perfect union, one and inseparable, estab-| lished upon those principles of free- dom, equality, justice and humanity, for which American patriots sec- rificed their lives and their fQrtunes. I thercfore believe it my duty to my | country to love it, to support fits| constitution, to obey its laws, to re- spect its flag, and to defend it against all enemies.” Q. What breeds of chickens are largest egg producers? A. The four most popular breeds for egg production are Leghorn, Minorca, Ancona, and Andalusian. The four most popular breeds where the production of both eggs and meat is desired are the Plymouth and introduce a small amount of mercury. Close the other end of the barrel and let the mercury come in contact with all parts of the inner surface. Remove the mercury and mercury-lead alloy, and clean with a swab. Q. Can you tell me something concerning Langley who designed one of the first airplanes? A. Professor Samuel P. Langley, secretary of the Smithsonian In- stitute, designed and constructed a motor driven aeroplane, which flew in 1896 but the model did not carry a man. He was.employed by the Board of Ordnance and Fortification of the United States army to con- struct an aerdome, which he had in- vented, and congress appropriated $50000 for expenses. The ‘“aer- dome” was a tandem monoplane equipped with a 60 horsepower en- gine. The attempt to launch the aerodome October 7 and December 8, 1903 were unsuccessful on ac- count of defective launching appara- tus and the machine was thrown into the Potomac river. On the second attempt it was wrecked and congress refused to appropriate money for further experiments. Ten years later the Langley aerdome was repaired and equipped with a Cur- tiss motor and Curtis controls and successful flights were made in 1913 and 1914, proving that Langley had constructed a practical machine. Q. What baseball player holds the record for the greatest number of scoreless innings pitched in a ‘world series? A.

New York, June 10 (™ — The conclusions of a comprehensive study of the comparative benefits and costs of college athleties which has been under way for the last two years under the direction of Dr. Thomas A. Story, representing a college committee on undergrade uate hygiene, and Dr. Louis I, Dublin, insurance statisticlan, are to be officlally announced next fall, Football, rowing, track, baseball, Lacrosse, cross-country and hockey are being studied and the survey is to rest solely on facts. The report, Dr. Dublin says, will preclude the necessity of all fine writing on the subject of strenuous college sports and the effect on after life. “We are going after the out- standing athletes, not the ordinary, carefree boys who don't strain themselves in their efforts’ said Dr. Dublin. “Most of the figuresare now in our possession, but until we know the exact fate of every man, our report will be of no prac- tical value at all.” Rowing has been regarded gen- erally as the most exacting college sport, but there has been no sta. tistical exactness to back up opine ions of some physicians to that ef- fect, NEW VLINDBERGH STAMP ‘Will Go on Sale at Four Post Of- fices on June 18. ‘Washington, June 10 (® — The Lindbergh air mail stamp, the first copy of which is being mounted in a speclal album for presentation to Colonel Lindbergh tomorrow by Postmaster General New, will be placed on sale June 18 at four post offices and' the government's phi- | latelic agency here.
