There is no righting a wrong after an execution, And it must be remembered, that the evi- dence surrounding Sacco and Van- zetti remains largely circumstantial, the governor and the investigating committee giving reasons for believ- ing it to be conclusive.

Since the new street pave- ment was constructed on Broad street, he says, it has had a ten- dency to invite speeding. This result never fails following the construction of what the public generally terms as “a fine pave- men! Speeding on West Main street has been much more common since the new pavement was laid down than when the old one existed; and the same is true of Broad street. It isn’'t everybody who like the autoist quoted in the Out- look: He didn’t need a speedometer, for when he went ten miles an hour his lights rattled; when he went 15 miles his fenders rattled; and when he went 20 miles his bones rattled. Such little difficulties arise on bad- ly paved streets, for when they get well paved nothing rattles and the exhilarated autoist may be travel- g 40 miles an hour without know- ing it—until he hits another car or a pole. All of which does not mean that well-paved streets are an evil; far But in addition to well is jority and are an essential of mod- ern travel, there must also be bet- ter regulation of how we use such streets. Alderman Zapatka has in mind when he speaks of the need of better regulations in fifth ward, including experimentation with one-way traffic on some of the streets, If such a plan s mental In saving life it should be this the instru- adopted. There are more children fifth han in any other and it surely is the cit on the streets in the ward s business to avoid endan- gering them. < SYNTHETIC GASOLINE Necessity still being the mother of invention, it is not surprising, per haps, that synthetic gasoline is be ing produced in Gefmany and that the Standard Oil Company of New s Johnny on the spot to share in the secrets of its manufac- ture. Walter C. Teagle, presider New branch octopus, found time Paris to Berlin on new process and Jersey the Jerse of the oil to skip from he g of the promptly enter- ed into a contract with the German dye trust, manu; the which is gasoline from coal turing nite.

Thus the New Jersey Standard gets in a Russians, left handed grip with the Ru while Sir Henri is left at the in Paris or London. ians post This process of obtaining synthet- ic gasoline from coal is something to juggle with. 8o long as the Amer- ican oil fields liold out it will not he an essential commodity in the Unit- ed States, especially as the price is higher. But it is something to know | that it can be made successfully. The ed, h jergius process, as it is call- s been a clos sufficient ly guarded sc- vet about it s known to indicate it converts bitu- and sub-bituminous into gasoline of a good quality.

The plan seems to be to make numerous dashes, criss- crossing the regions and descending, when possible, in order to make observations. Then arises the question: What 1t a large new continent is discovered? How would man take advantage of its riches, if any? Suppose that on this continent there is undeniable evidences of mineral wealth? Would man attempt to conquer the climate in some manner and attempt to add its riches to his already large store? How could it be done? Would radio communication be an ald to such outposts of civilization in the frigid wastes? From the tip of Cape Horn to the south pole is 2,500 miles, From the tip of New Zealand to the pole is nearly 3,000 Half of the distance in hoth instances are froz- en most of the time, a short sum- packs e tending nearly 500 miles.

Chairman Rawlings of the health committee said today that there are no cases of contagious disease in the city at present, except, of course, at the hospital. J. R. Andrews and family left to- day for Block Island. It is rumored, and in such a man- ner, too, as to give it strong cred- ence, that the P. & F. Corbin branch of the American Hardware company is negotiating for the purchase of the F. N. Stanley property at the corner of Park street and that it is there the company will have its new offices. None of the officers with authority te speak are in town, but it s common talk that the deal will soon be consummated.

A recently organized corporation of Hartford capitalists is desirous of locating fn Plainville, and fs look- ing at Whiting street property with the intention of building a brewery thereon.
