Having office girls around in hot weather is a serious inconvenience. 1t it were not for the girls the men would make themselves as radically comfortable as on a bathing beach. Every small boy in Stamford will hope that the dog warden who is suing for fees due from exterminat- ing such animals will fail to get his money. The amount of preliminary propa- ganda required in Plainville to erect a sign advertising the city suggests that a similar amount of work and expense devoted to erecting the sign would have resulted in the sign being erected. The Holland vehlcular tube from New York to Jersey City was to have opened this apring; now it will not be opened until in August, after numerous tests of the air fans are completed. Here is a tube that was built quickly, but more delay has occurred since it was practically fin- ished than during the more arduous work of boring it. THE NEW SPEED LAW Perhaps the new state speed law which went into effect July 1 has a | vicious tinge in that It has stimu- .lated sundry reckless drivers think they now have the carte blanche privilege to go at locomotive speed whenever the inclination is present—which naturally is often. Tt will remain for the judges to prove to the foolish that the new law is not an invitation to faster than hefore it went fect. cerned. this is already being proved and the chief of v into ef- So far as D quite conclusivel police, fully has concluded that krazy-kat autoists cannot misuse the streets any more often than they did before and has given the proper instruction to that effect.

THE LIGHTS The city having been all lit up like a freight yard, the board of police commissioners have had an opportunity to make a few notations and seem to be of the opinion that the lights slow up traffic. Nothing is more patent than this. But— On the other hand, no lights are as good as traffic policemen. Let the board of police commis- sloners be less inclined to save money by reducing traffic pclice- men and the city can do with few- er tratfic lights. It is the idea of super-economy in the traffic department that is to blame, It is a question whether the city wants men or machinery to di- rect traffic. At present it has ma- chinery, and the human touch is submerged in favor of the automat- ic touch, which stops traffic wheth- er or not it is necessary. The reason for this is the auto- matic system is cheaper. IN SPITE OF THE HEAT In spite of the heat which been brolling the city mere man scems as disinclined as to make himselt comfortable. One can scarcely come to any other conclu- sion after noting the large number of coats which continue to be worn while the thermometer sizzles at 98. As for discarding the preclous col- that scems to be sometbing unheard of, except in the | case of a few who care not a hoot | about conventionality and style. ‘We rather think these are the wise ones.

MORE FOOL RECORDS That Texas man who broke | world’s record for remaining awake, doing so for 130 hours, during which time he drank 35 cups of coffee and smoked six packages of cigarets every 24 hours, no doubt will be responsitle for another epi- demic of fool record-breaking. Records have been hung up dur- ing the past few years in oyster- cating, egg-cating, and every other kind of eating; some fools have shown the werld that they were champlon water drinkers; others that they could sit on a flagpole for | an indeterminate length of time; and perhaps there are other kinds of taols unrecorded or forgotten. This scheme of doing without sleep is quite as foolish as any of the others, and perhaps worse than some of them. Doctors have report- ed that the Texas man showed no fll-effects from his long vigil. On the surface that may be true; but the ill-efects are there nevertheless, unless all that has been written and spoken about proper living is dead Wwrong. Nature did not intend humankind to remain awake more than five days; the only way the Texas man was able to do it was by the use of large quantities of stimulants. If there are any other fools ready to “beat the reccrd"” the police should step in, wherever the faol may live, and a mental examination might not be inappropriate. a ALWAYS UP | Some time ago, atter the city had | constructed an zdditional fire sta- | tion, the New England | Exchange informed the city that it was very nice to improve fire-fight- Tnsurance ing faci , but the rates in this city could not yet go down.

Almost anybody would take a good licking for the money Demp- sey is getting; but few ever get eith- er the quantity of licking or money involved. SQUEEZING WATER FROM HIGH VALUATIONS Former-Governor Gifford of Pennsylvania, Governor Alfred E. Smith of New York, Senator Thom- as J. Walsh of Montana, and Sen- ator George W. Norris of Nebraska | are credited with being a quartet destined to lead the fight against a threatened monopoly of electric power. All four are fighters to the core, Pinchot has already been heard from, Massachusetts, he amnounces, “has just made history in the regu- lation of public utility rates. A re- cent decision of the Public Utility Commission of that state gives the first ray of liope for small sumers of electricit; The decision of the P. U. C. fin Massachusetts was that the amount of money actually and prudently invested by an electrlc light and power company shall be the basis for fixing the rates to consumers. They must not be required to pay on “going value, reproduction cost, or any inflated, watered or imagi- | nary values whatsoever.” A decislon of the United States Supreme Court in connection with a water company in Indianapolis stands, or was though to stand, in the way of such an appraisal. Pin- chot arises to remark that the con- way to get around the court's valua- tion rule. “It finds,” he says, “that by using ‘he simple, fair and un- derstandable rule of how much money was actually and prudently invested, it can do so without in- fringing the court’s general rule that under the 14th amendment in- vestors in public utilities must not be deprived of a fair return on their investment.” The Worcester Electric Light compary, which sought a valuation of $15,000,000 and returns based vpon it has been the first large concern In the Bay state to bear the brunt of the P. U. C. declslon. Even | under the federal court’s rule the company, it is said, would not have been entitled to a larger valuation than $10,000,000; and under Massa- chusetts law it was only $4,058,232 —the actual money Invested. Upon this basis the company’s maximum rate of 7 cents per kilowatt hour} was reduced to 5 cents. This paragraph communication c¢n illuminating: In spite of the steadily fall- ing costs of production, the ay- erage domestic consumer paid higher instead of lower rates in 1926.
