Its 26 letters have done more to advance the cause of progress in cvery fleld of endeavor among races Which use it than any other factor. It is indispensable in literature, the drama, business and communi- cation, both oral and written. By adjustment of {ts letters, words are built and thoughts are exchanged. It means millions of dollars annually to industry in written or verbal or- ders. It provides a source of in- come for authors and librettists. It it were wiped out instantly, there would be no employment for letter | carriers, postal clerks and the rest of the post office army of workers. | Through use of the alphabet wars are declared and it aids their prose- cution by the formation of patrio- tic slogans by which men may be recruited to arms and money raised | to finance the conflict. It is also the weapon of peace, used in the drafting of terms and for the sig- natures of the warring nations’ rep- resentatives. . The sig{ply lullaby which a mother sings to her baby and the curse of the murderer are both composed of the alphabet. The child in school totters along to its first reader up the stairs of the alphabet, as Shake- speare was forced to do before he amassed his titanic vocabular; verywhere, the alphabet seen as touching infimately upon our lives. “Lafayette, we are here,” the American soldiers cried as they landed on the soil of France. “They | shall not pass” expressed the de- termination of the French soldiers at Verdun as they threw their bodies in the breaches blown by enemy ar- tillery, thus hurling the alphabet £pirit and fight it out Ja that line if it takes all summer.

Phone users are prone to wonder occasionally where in the world the Southern New England Telephone Co. gets operators of the type that seems to be prevalent in the New | Britain office, at least. Literal ladies | | they are, as devold of imagination | as the modern girl is of| clothes, and somehow they never seem to be listening when one | of the subscribers is trying to ham- |mer home a fact which he desires to impress. We have only our per- | | sonal experiences to guide us in an estimate of the number of perhaps | a trifle obscure cases which must | come up daily, wherein the lady with the voice (and only the voice, | | nothing above it) does nothing but ! ladd to the general melee in which we thrust ourselves in trying to use | the phone without all facts, personal |and impersonal, regarding the indi. i vidual with whom we wished to be | connected at our tinger tips. But the | cases must be numerous indeed. The other day we attempted to be | | connected with an individual in | Middletown. We knew he was af- filiated with scveral business or- | zanizations, but were not sure of all ! of then just one in fact. We called | | the office of that business—line busy. | But he is not in the habit of being in that particular office a great part of time, so we discontinued our ef- | fort in that direction. We called his | home. No one answered, although Central rang madly.

Daily the barber shops are being crowded with women anxious to | have their hair cut and it is believéd that the predicted change by which the women were to ¢ the long hair iin will have to wait for a | year or two more. | According to one of the prominent | barbers on Main street the tendency to let the hair grow has been popu- | lar during the winter for the - past [ few but with the first rays of heat the women flock to the ton- orial establishments and once again wait for their fevorite barber to bring their n and sometimes their ears back into the sunshine and light. This year the women seemed to be more determined than ever to llet their hair grow. This appeared to be the case more with school teachers than with office and school girls. The school teacher is believed to be more congervative, and when the opportunity to have the long hair arrives they looked upon it with satisfaction. It is about five years ago since | the woman came into the barber shop and to date they haven't really fitted into the surroundings as the men do. They usually come into the shop and if all the barbers are Pusy they sit on the end of the chair impatient for the timc when their turn will come. If some man had a certain bar- | ber he wished to have work on him he would wait for him regardless and without any thought of whether the rest of the barbers would like it, but with a woman it is quite differ- cnt. She will be hopeful that “that good looking barber will be fin- ished first” but if one of the other is through ahead of him she will go | to his chair rather than “hurt his feelings.”” This tendency is grad- | ually decreasing among the women | of late and perhaps in years w)wnj women bccome part of the atmos- phere of the shop they will be as determined as the man.

A fow weeks ago a Bristol judge fined a tire thief $100 and sent him | to jail for 90 days. On Thursda night of this w West Hartford court imposed fines of $30 cach on two men convicted of stealing tires. Hundreds of automobile owners have suffered from the depredations of thieves who have made with their “spares” or who taken tires off the wheels of their vehicles. They have sat back and wondered when the courts | campaign k the judge of the | away | have were | think twice before continuing in his line of business. In two towns.in Connecticut at least, the judges have spoken eloquently. H There are few more despicable practices than stealing tires off au- tomobiles. Under some circum- stances, the victim {s seriously in- convenienced to say nothing of the expense to which he is put in re- ! placing his stolen property. Go to it, judges. A few jail gen- tences will have a more wholesome | effect than anything else imaginable. Let the tire thleves realize that they can expect no clemency. 25 Years Ago Today A team composed of Editor Pur- cell, M. 8. and E. H. Hart, Herbert and Morris Peaze, and N. P.

SHARKEY BEGINS FINAL TRAINING Plans to Taper Off to Absolute Fitness for Dempsey Bout New York, July 9 (P—Starting with a relaxed program, Jack Sharkey is off on his final training for his fight with Jack Dempsey, and already in fine phy- sical condition, intends to work up carcfully to the “peak” for the July fight. Rocky Stone, Boston heavyweight, was the only sparring partner on hand when the ex-gob swung into action vesterday. Sharkey sald his wind was good and jogged miles through Central park just to prove it before he went to a gym- nasium for a session with the punching bags and a few rounds of shadow boxing.
