The Attantic flights were favored with & thousand milea of dlstance along the coast; whether that means much to an aviator's safety in case of sccident 18 debatable. Because of this’ difference in conditions it is difficult to compare these flights. That . they required courage of the highest type and exceptional confi- dence In equipment is self-evident. While Lieutenants Maitland and Hegenberger are winging toward Hawall Lieutenant Commander Byrd and his plane “America” are headed to Europe. The world ha the thrill of watching the results of two alr thrusts at the same time over two oceans. 2 One is inclined to wonder whether | ,the achlevements of aviators are soon to bc so numerous that none will stand head and shoulders above their fellows. There -may be glory enough for all but before long it may be shared by more individuals than the most optimistic was in- clined to suspect a few months ago. Nothing in the age progresses like flying.

Britain police court points out what‘i seems to be a lack in our system of | Welfare—not only in this city but all over the United States. Whether her words were true or not does not concern us here, they unquestionably apply to some cases and they point to a weakness in the Soclal system. She stated in court that she was glad that the couple had been caught, that the man had treated her shamefully and had | traveled with hcr about the country | in typical white slave fashion. She, | she said, preferrcd to face the igneminy of the police court to the lite she had been leading. She had deft with the man, in the first place, expecting to be married. She erred there, admittedly. She found that he had no expectation of marrying her, and soon found that she was to lead | an unnatural life under his guid- ance. She regretted it but found no way, out. And what way out might she have found, we may ask? Sulcide? Yes, but the instinct for life is so strong in most of us that we strive to keep it however un pleasant it might be. Leave him? Yes, but where might she have land- ed then? Possibly in a worse situa- | tion. Her parents could not be faced, | | or perhaps she had no home.

This does not refer to automatic windshield cleaners, but it is as- sumed the automatic variety are preferred. Looks like a good rule. An auto- ist, especlally in winter, who cannot see where he is going because of snow on the windshield is a men- uce to himself and to others. There is another rule that is just as important, and that has to do with excessively strong headlights, or headlights improperly adjusted, so that motorists coming from an opposite direction are temporarily blinded. That is about as bad a situation to be in as inability to see through a windshield. FOLLOWING NEW ENGLAND Generally speaking, the main line ot the New York Central raflroad between New York and Chicago is perfectly safe. Trains hawe not ac- quired a gabit of bumping together, and the Twentieth Century Limited has its undisputed right of way daily. But {t seems that the line is not safe enough, any more than other main lines not yet equipped with automatic train control appliances. These must be installed, according {to the ruling of the Interstate Com- merce Commission years ago, and the rallroads have been given a cer- tain number of years in which to conform. One wonders how much safer the Central's main line will be over what it is today. Contrac¢ts having bezn signed for complete automatic train control ov- er the entire system, the railroad faces a considerable expenditure brought about by the I. C. C. ruling. Not only will this require installa- tion of an additional system of auto- matic signals and control over the entire mileage of 673 miles no® now so protected, but locomotives will have to be equipped with the auto- matic devices necessary to operate with the automatic signals. There vill still be a dependence upon the good eyesight and judgment of en- ginecrs, but this will be plus de- pendence upon automatic control in case some engineer momentarily overlooks a signal. In other words, the line will then be as well equipped as the Boston & Albany has been for the last few years, and as the main line of the New Haven has been for a year or more. The New England roads were in the vanguard in this improved system. MRS. CHARLES E. MITCHELL The influence of a good woman— who can designate its bounds? There was Mrs. Charles Elliott Mitchell, for instance, who has gone to a just reward after,a lifetime of womanly activity in New Britain. In no good cause was her help lacking, and her idealism was coupled with practical attainments. Stimulated by the pre- cepts of religion which called for good works as well as manifestations of plety, she was a willing and ready contributor ~ to charitable under- takings, to missions far and near. Her social activities were uplifting, her church afflliations an inspira- | tion. As an organizer of the Wom- an’s Club and a charter member of the Esther Stanley Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revo- lution she was strongly entrenched in the affections of a large circle of admiring friends. Now she is no more; but the memory of her, and the influence of her good deeds, will go marching on. THE “THREAT OF SMITH” If Wayne B. Wheeler should go through with his threat to have the Anti-Saloon League support an in- dependent candidate for president in 28 in case the two major parties chose wet candidates the prohibition- ists would be in the same predica- ment they were when the Prohibi- tlon party functioned as a going con- never got within a million miles of clecting its candidate. But Mr. Wheeler doesn't aim to support an independent candidate, He is more inclined to prevent the Democratic party from nominating Covernor S8mith.

Yet the fact that the south is beginning to like the New York governor for his efficient works, for Lis adamant stand in the intercsts of the common people, indicates that not all drys agree with the Antl- Saloon League. The south is giving evidence of be- ing more interested in the possibili- ties of & Democratic victory with Smith than with the usual Republi- can victory without him. If the League really supported an independent third candidate it would help the Democrats. Also Smith. GOING TO NORMAL The large number of the girl graduates from the high school who have announced they would continue their studies next fall at the State coming school teachers lends thought to the appreciation shown to the state for providing a pro- fessional training free of charge for this important calling. No other calling is thus favored by the state. If a high school grad wishes to go into any other profes- sion under the sun additional train- ing to that end must be paid for out of the pockets of the students—or their parents, usually the latter. If the decision is to continue a sharp- ening of the intellect within college corridors that too must be paid for. Only in the production of school teachers does the state lend a happy and ingratiating aid. The result is a pressure toward the teaching pro- | Portland, Me. . and from the Gulf northward into interior Canada. Conditions favor for this vicinity fair weather with rising tempeta- tures.

The guest room is the one where the dresser edge shows cigarette burns. Some friends are easily offended, and some like to borrow a little money occasionally. A great president is one who lets the big boys alone so they can run fession, on the supposition that there will always be a plenitude of youth to instruct, that the protesion will not be more overcrowded than it has been. There are also, perhaps, & certain number of teachers get- ting married and quitting their pro- fession in favor of housekeeping, and this tends to increase the “‘openings.” ‘Well, good luck. TOO MANY DIVORCES The record of one marriage out of ten ending in divorce is not cred- itable for Connecticut; but as ap-| proximately the same ratio- exists in most other well populated states the condition may be said te be discred- itable all around. Not that divorce in itself is dis- creditable—for reasons regarded as just and reasonable divorce often- times is the only way out of a slough of marital incompatibility, provided one's religion and training permits of such a course. But where one marrjage out of ten | ends in failure there is something | wrong in the start, sonpe underlying reason which goes beyond mere in- compatibility. The readiness with which disaf- | fected married couples nowadays ' hearken to the siren voice of legal ! severance of the knot originally in-' tended to bind ‘them for life is in-| deed disheartening. It cannot be otherwise than that marriage is not taken as scriously as it used to be. “If we can’t get along we'll call it Guits,” seems to be the unwritten law written in the minds of too large a proportion of those who es- say matrimony. ! Some say this is an indication that women nowadays are more keen for their rights; that when they do rot obtain them in marriage they | will not hesitate to call in the law- ver. Instead of putting up with a bad bargain for life, as formerly was the custom, they are over-willing to cut lcose and try again. There may be other reasons just as valid; or perhaps other excuses. Be that as it may, the conclusion is | unescapable that married life is not what it used to be to one-tenth of the married folks. And to goodness knows how many others of the re- maining nine-tenths who do not care to follow in the footsteps of the one- tenth, These really are the heroes end heroines of married life—they stick to the bargain regardiess.
