The days are here when every suf- fering man envies the girls who wear as little as the law allows. This is a critical age. Is gradua- tion advice taken as serlously as it once was? An election being due in 1928, an- other tax slash is due before that time. Representative Tilson has con- firmed the plans, Statistics show that the bathtub is the cause of an astonishing num- ber of accidents. Most of them take place during hot weather. Twenty-five per cent of the trol- ley cars in the country are one-man contraptions, enabling the com- panles to practice economy. The saving, however, doesn't affect the public. The state Chamber of Commerce is again busying itself investigating gasoline prices, which are said to be much higher in Connecticut than in Massachusetts or New York. For- mer investigations failed to reduce the price. SOUTH MAIN PAVING; PLANT MORE TREES The paving of South Main street has been the chief street improve- ment so far this year, and it is a pleasure to note that the work was started and completed thus early in the year, giving the summer motor- ists a good opportunity to make use of it before the season wanes. This is in strong contrast with the ex- perience in paving West Main street last year, a job that kept the strect torn up most of the summer. Another point that is receiving comment in conmnection with the South Main street pavement is that the city has shown good judgment in the type of material put down. The concrete top gives the impression of solidity and good wearing qualities. One thing is very noticeable along the street since the new paving has been put down, and that is the lack of shade trees. Some one felt it necessary to remove those which formerly graced the thoroughfare, thus turning what was once a pret- tily shaded street into one entirely devold of these utilitarian means of beautification. The city having eliminated the trees in favor of a new pavement, it may be advisable at once to plant new trees along the street. If any city officials are in doubt of this let them take a walk along the side- walk on a hot day; and as they swelter in the sun they might pause to reflect that residents of the street now have to put up with this oven-heat all summer. A resolution was passed in the Common Coun- cil recently that in future all trees removed by the eity must be replac- ed when the work causing removal is finished. The rule could with profit to cveryone be made retro- active. Many are of the opinion that removal of so many trees along South Main street was unnecessary. city's duty to trees It s the whether planted, new cannot be THE SPELLING BEE New Britain’s chanipion school speller faced the crucial test in Washington without winning the na- tional championship; but she ished in the “first divisio as they say in baseball, and all console our- selves with the knowledge that only one of the 17 entrants could win top honors. Not only did a boy win the nation- al championship, but another was second; there being fewer hoys than girls entered, rather a remarkable showing, espe- clally considering the fact that the girls of the same age usually are fin- boy the lads made better spellers and students gener- ally. There appesr to be some boys, however. who take such things more seciously thap their kind, e sl determine Again the national spelling match | has been successful from every in Washington. The stimulation for increased endeavor has been pro- nounced, and those who took the trip to Washington were well repaid for their efforts. THE STATE'S BUS INDUSTRY New bus lines in the state are be- ing established with lessening fre- quency than a few years ago, when the_motor coach business was com- paratively new; but it is still pos. sible to come across items in the public prints ever and anon which indicate that new bus lines are be- ing provided. The total of busses operated in Connecticut at the pres- ent time is beyond 500 vehicles, and they cover more than 500,000 miles a day. No public transportation in- | dustry in the state has been develop- od so swiftly as the bus lines. When it is realized that the mile- | age covered by bus lines execeds the rail and trolley mileage combined one | gets an idea of what service the busses are performing. Even the New Haven railroad, with' a total mileage of 979.38 in the state, has a subsidiary bus concern, the New England Transportation company, that threatens to surpass its rail mileage, although that does not mean the company will ever haul more passengers on busses than it | does on the rails. The substitution of busses for trolley cars continues, not with over- whelming success, perhaps, but slowly and steadily, especially be- | tween the small towns. The com- pany which only a few years ago refused to listen to the possibilities of utilizing busses now is one of the most enterprising in their use. Of this means the Connecticut company. Officials may not yet be a unit in deciding which is the most economical to operate, trolleys or busses; but there can be no doubt that where continued operation of a small town trolley line involves track repairs, paving repairs, trol- ley wire fixing and all the other little expenses that are incident to the trolleys, the decision is logical that it is cheapér to substitute busses if it is desirable to main- tain the line. Such an example is being met with in connection with the trolley line to the Berlin depot. The company has admitted that there is not sufficient traffic on it to warrant heavy outlays in rebuild- ing tracks and paving its share of the roadbed; hence it is desired to abandon the trolley line. What we are secing in connection | with the Berlin line is being dupli- cated all over the §tate. The busses do not posscss the long life of a trolley car, but no one has yet con- vincingly shown an economical improvement when the investment in rails, poles and wires are considered. Where such an investment has already been made it may be cheaper to operate the trolleys until the rails nced revamp- ing and the space alongside the rails need repairing; then the bill, which must be charged to maintenance, mounts. The busses lack such sub- sidiary maintenance costs and are so flexible as to warrant their increas- ed use, course, that they are not SOFT COAL STRIKE HAS NO EFFECT Soft coal miners in the unionized fields of western Pennsylvania, Illi- nois, Ohio and Indiana have been on strike since April 1, yet no one hasi noticed any difference in the coal situation. In no other hasic industry could 200,000 men lay down their tools without cutting the country’s productivity its It anything, this spectacle tends to prove the contention, often heard, that thers are decidedly too many men employed in the coal mining industry; that there are too many mines being worked, and too much capital Coal is being and in large quantitie ing from the West Virginia and contiguous states, | | where production has been speeded below needs. invested. mined, of course, Thi non-union fi much soft coal | these pits as the nation needs.

Perhaps it was too much to the point to be palatable. Miners normally work only two- thirds of the year. Whatever the basic rate of pay, their income is not enormous, and the risks are great, as the list of “mine horrors™ amply show. One-third of the coal is left in the ground without possi- bility of recovery, it is stated. Much coal is shipped to consumers who are closer to other fields, which re- in unnecessary toll being awarded the railroads. 1t costs as much to haul a ton of coal from West Virginia to New England as the entire cost of mining the article. There are other high costs of dis- tribution; and even after the coal is in the furnace there is waste, the by-products burned up being worth three times as much as the retail the coal, according to chemists. The only reason such wastefulness can be tolerated is be- use there is plenty in the ground at least, the known supply is des- tined to last for 500 years.

The “shot in the arm,” so common a this industry, manner. method of reviving will have been effective. AN 'ILLEGAL PRIMARY Anything is likely to happen in Hlinois. Now the opponents of state primaries are filled with satisfaction over the finding of the state su-| preme court that the state law is unconstitutional in that it denies equal and unhampered rights of suffrage. Also on account of the pro- vision giving employes the right to absent themselves from employment for two hours on election day for voting witheut suffering a reduction in their salaries or wages for the time lost. What really has ailed the Illinois primary was not touched in the de- cision. Tkis has to do with the manner in which Senator Smith was aided by Sam Insull and others. Enemies of the primary have gone about to annihilate it in an under- hand manner. But the enlightened citizenry ufi Illinois no doubt will demand the cnactment of a new primary unen- cumbered with the unconstitutional provisions. No time will be lost in attaining this object. The primary- haters will be disappointed if they think the present victory is to be permanent. CIRCUS POSTERS Circuses are a joy to the young and a pleasure to those who never get too old to enjoy them. But if there is association of circus managers or owners, or somcbody who can function as a circus czar, one of the main jobs ought to be the elimination of flaunting posters, which after a circus has finished playing an engagement in a city, are left for others to tear down. Public lethargy in such matters being be- yond comprehension, one finds the cyesores insulting the passersby for months. Cases no doubt have been multi-colored circus posters have been in place for an entire year.

When vibrations made by talking, singing. or playing upon an instrument are transmitted to a ditphragm of a highly sensitive material, generally glass or mica, at the small end of the cone, they are communicated to a stylus or point, which being at- tached to the diaphragm, traces them upon a wax disc. In a re- cording room, which should have rounded corners and a high ceiling, thare is a partition, on one side of which is the recording machine, and the cone projects through it so that no sound waves ,except those pass- ing through the horn, can enter the sound hox and cause a discord.
