What's . the extra in “busses?” The spelling is “bus.” Headline have dis- covered that a letter can be saved by doing singular writers spelling the plural “buses” and the T of Coolidge could not add to his lustre as a chiet executive. As Sena- tor Moses of New Hampshire point- edly put it recently, another term for Coolidge would be suffered in sullen silence by his party and the people. He could get the nomination, not be- cause he is a man of overwhelming intellectuality or accomplishments, but because he has at his disposal the machinery of politics to force | the issue if there is serlous opposi- tion. His re-election is not so certain | as it was in 1924, but the chances | wswould be good. The Republican party could not do otherwise than accept him should he court the nomination, and is now faced with a statement susceptible of differing interpreta- tions. The President has in the west to gather intelligence as to the political outlook as well as to enjoy been carefree months of vacationing. It Is not too far-fetched to say he has | discovered more than such a frantic third-termer as Senator Fess has told the public. The President has found that for- mer Governor Lowden is strong po- litically ~ and well considered | throughout the farming country; that Secretary Hoover is highly re- garded throughout the nation as a whole. Either would make a good Republican candidate. The President has also learned that his veto of the farm relief billy has not been forgotten and that con- tinued attempts will be made to pass | such a measure. Another bill similar to the McNary-Haugen bill will be | brought up in the next Congress and no doubt will be passed as readily as its forerunners; then the President, it he should stick to his convictions, would be forced to veto it again— | upon the eve of an election cam- | paign. Such a proceeding would not help in the slightest. | The apparent ('hr-;‘ failure of Geneva naval conference, which was | | called at the behest of the President, | likewise would react politically next year. Refusal to call a special session | to provide flood relief also has not set well with many people, although those most aggrieved—in the south —would not vote Republican any- way. A big drive is under way to re- duce corporation income taxes and is expected to be successful in the next Congress—a poor time, before a campaign year, to make $uch a sub- ject prominent. As a leader the President has been a failure. He has been unable to do | much with Congress and will be able to do even less with the next. Much political capital will be raised in | this coming session and the Republi- can party will be at a disadvantage when the Démocrats and the Pro- gressives unite on important issues. The rise of President Coolidge to the presidency has been one of the astonishing tricks of fate operat- ing in American politics. The first time his name was mentioned as a candidate in a Republican conven- tion was in 1920, when he was gov- ernor of Massachusetts. On the first { ballot he received only 34 votes, less | by half than Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler. At the close he was named because somebody as such, the vice-president had to be nominated delegates wanted to go home, and | the Massachusetts } handy for the purpose. Senator Len- root could have had the nomination |—and later the presidency, as it turned out—but the delegates mind- ed a call for Coolidge from the rear governor came their haste to leave. news writers, copy editors and blue penell editors generally are begin- to look with favor upon the shorter form. Thus we find some newspapers spelling it one way and others the old. We rather favor the shorter plural form. It labor. saves space and THE COOLIDGE CHOICE NOT TO RUN AGAIN President Coolidge has uttered the fateful words., but whether they mean all that is abeyance. Tt the manner which he clothed his statement at Rapid City that leaves the impres- sion he can be induced to be nomin- ated again, although he chooses not to be a candidate. If anything, it means he prefers not to run again, but if the next Republican national convention insists upon it—well, it was former Governor Lowden of Tllinois who said the other day that the was in a man never runs away from pr “ney. The Coolidge statement up the President’s preference, but it y clear does not reflect the attitude of those Republicans who have bee uld be nominated aga 1928.

For ex- ample, in South Dakota 13.121 voted for Governor Lowden and only 66 for Coolitige; also 4,341 for Hoover. ! Both Illinois and Towa gave twice as many votes for Lowden as for Cool- idge. In North Dakota there were 2,: 284 votes for Lowden and only 53 for Coolidge. In Oklahoma there were 5,502 votes for Lowden and only 291 for Coolidge. in Nebraska, 540 for Lowden and 69 for Coolidge. In Mon- tana Coolidge had half the votes, the remainder being scattered. In Kansas Coolidge had one-third the votes, while Lowden, Hoover, Dawes and Borah had two-thirds. The President in the future in all probability cannot do as well in any particular as he has done in the past. It he chooses to step aside it may be best for the Republican party to accept the invitation and look elsewhere. OF COURSE, MR. QUIGLEY OUGHT TO BE HEARD - It would be a denial of democracy and fair dealing toward citizens if | former Mayor George A. Quigley | were denied permission to address | the Common Council upon an im- | portant public issue. | Such a right should not be denied to any citizen at any time. The right to present views to the governing body is akin to the right of petition, and no parliamentary body worthy | the name at any time should feel abovg recefving the views of citi- zens of standing, gr those having a vital Interest in pending leglslation. We are confident, therefore, that the Commori Council will be pleased to grant Mr. Quigley’s wish to be | heard upon the proposition to issue sewer bonds. It so happens that Mr. Quigley | has made a study of sewer disposal | conditions affecting this city. Having been mayor three times he has had | considerable of an incentive to do so.' He may have ideas worth the most careful consideration of the civic governing body; he may unfold a story having a vital bearing upon the future disposal of the mat(crl he wishes to discuss. At any rate, he | is entitled to the floor, and citizens are entitled to hear what he has to say. “SCHOOL POPULATION" Basing the estimates of a city's population upon school enumeration is, after all, merely an estimate. There are more children per family in some cities than in others; and cities are ot as careful as totalling the school | some others enumeration. Several years ago Waterbury was “fined” $100,000 by the state for padding its school enumeration figures. Since that time it has ex- ercised due caution. The result: Esti- mates of Waterbury's populatim\i have dropped. That means that some of the other cities in the state | are not as cautious with their school figures as Waterbury. According to the state board of education, the estimate of Water- bury's population, based upon the | school enumeration, is only a thou-| sand greater than that of New Brit- ain. We hope that's true. in WATERBURY'S FINANCES Financially frafl and contented might with propriety be ascribed to the condition of Waterbury. The city is willing to sell its bonds at any time, but accordipg to Tax Commis- | stoner Blodgett, who has been read- ing his semi-annual riot act to the |city. there are few willing takers {50 long as there are bonds of other | Connecticut cities for sale. | There difference between | | Waterbury and New Britain right | |here.

Is there any completely gas proof fabric used in making balloon bags? A. No fabric 1is' entirely” gas proof. 1In the government service captive balloons are inflated at night until the cover is metallic to the touch and in the morning enough gas will have escaped to make the bag feel quite soft. The only gas-tight containers are metal ones, Q.. Do alrplanes have headlights? No. They have wing and tail How much alloy is there in copper one-cent ligh How many Indians were in i North America when the first whites settled here? A. Estimates vary widely. Some there are more Indians today than there were then but this view seems to be unfounded. Others claim that there were vast hordes of them and they base their assumption 6n the large ruins found, in ecrtain / parts of the country. Hodge in “The Handbook of the American Indian” gives a careful estimate of the number of Indians 1,150,000, Of those 846,000 were in what is now the United States proper. Q. Does the United States import most of its bananas from Mexico and Central America? A. Some bangnas are grown in ico for export to the United b es and Canada. The greatest source of supply is the West Indies and there is some cultivation in Cen- tral America. Q. By whom anpd in what year were the Lusitania and the Maure- tania built? | A. The Mauretania was bullt at Newcastle, by Swan and Hunter; the Lusitania at Glasgow by J. Brown and company. Both were built in 1907, & Q. What is the meaning of the name Otto? A. It is Teutpnic and means “‘mountain”. Q. What is the best way to teach |- a dog to jump over a rope or through & hoop? A. Hank a rope just high enough so that he cannot step over it; place him on one side of the rope while you remain on the other. Reach over the rope, holding a piece of nieat out to him. As he reaches for it gradually more it-away from him and then suddenly move it over the rope saying ‘“over”. Anxious for the meat-he will jump. After a few lessons you can gradually raise the barrier and latter use a hoop. Q. Which foods are best for sup- plying the mineral matter required by the body? A. Fruits; apples, pears, bananas, Herries, melons, oranges, lemons, etc. Vegetables; salads lettuce, celery, potherbs or greens, potatoes, and other root vegetables, green peas, beans, tomatoes, squash, etc. Q. Is amber supppsed to have a miraculous healing power? A. There is a superstition that it changes color with the state of one's health and is therefore an excellent barometer o fone's well being and that it prevents iliness and is espec- cially effective as a protection against throat diseases. There is no pothological foundation for this belief. Q. Is it harmful large quantities of water weather? A. Drinking large quantities of water is the best thing one can do to relieve the body of the effects of heat. It causes perspiration which when evaporating from the skin cools the body. Care must be exer- cised not to drink too much at one time. Q! . Is “clock time” the same as that shown on a sundial? A. Clock time is based on what is called “mean time”. The clock is so constructed as to keep uniform time based on this average length of day, but anyone will see by con- sulting the almanac table that the time between sunrise and sunrise does not constitute exactly 24 hours but varies a few minutes more or less. So the mean time has been fixed to make days exactly 24 hours. ndials mark “apparent time” that is the actual length of each day. Sundial time, therefore, is nearly always some minutes ahead of or behind that of the clock, the great- est discrepancy being about 16 minutes for a few days in November. There are, however, four days in the vear when the sundial and the clock absolutely agree. These are April 15, June 15, September 1 and De- cember 24.
