It is operating 254 buses over 59 routes, the routes totalling 1,767 miles. Its clogest rival in bus operation is the @dreat Northern rallroad, which oper- ates 133 motor coaches over routes, over routes tofalling 4,945 miles. The Great Northern of course operates its subsidiary over more extended routes than the New Haven, which accounts for its large mileage. More bus facts: The third largest railroad-owned motor coach cern in the country is operated by the Boston & Maine, serving Massa- @etts and the northern New Engz- 1and states.

We thought those days of primitive, tortoise-like peed” wefe over, but now the mayor wants to cut even that 15 m. p. h. in half and make the reg- ulation eight miles an hour past in- tersections. . This is only one of the changes he suggests to the police department, which, in our opinion, makes changes enough of its own accord in the ‘traffic rules about the center. It needs mo outside suggestions. One of the great tricks seems fo be aitering the timing on the traflic lights. Many motorists who use the game routes daily have figured out the timing systems of the various series of lights and plot their courses accordingly, but every few weeks the system is revamped they believe and the thinking motorist finds he has to begin all over again. For instance, it was once good policy, in coming down West Main street, to ewing around through South High and Court if the light at the post office corner was just changing and to go straight ahead it the green had been shining for any number of seconds. Now the duration of the green seems to have been lengthened, and an autoist us- ing the old system of going up South High finds himself chafing before a red light at the Y. M. C. A. corner. It doesn’t delay him enough to start a world conflict or even a tong war over, but it is another puzzle added te the number already exist- ing in threading through heavy traffic We imagine the whole thing must be a gan The police are just niaking sport - of the public. We can’t prove it, for we haven’'t seen them, but we can well imagine the various members of the traffic squad changing the timing of the lJights | and then hiding in nearby doors and windows to chortle with glee when speeding drivers, believing the way is clear, find themsclves suddenly confronted with red lights. The ex- pressions on the motorists’ faces must be such as to make life worth living for the guardians of the streets, who are unhable to attend th es and watch the regular ter” rage, despair, ete. One particularly nauseating light is that at Main and Myrtle streets. We often wonder if this ever tun'\fl green for Mrytle street traffic. No matter when you come down toward Main street, the light is red, and it will stay red for a long time. You may drive slowly, you park your car and go up to the park to sce a ball | game, or you may run over someone land be sent to prison for man- lsl.’lghh’l and when you come back you will find the light is still red nl\_d won't change for five minutes. This |15 one light on which we think the timing might be altered, but we V't the police, and it is prob- | aily tucky for the other 79,999 people in New Britain that this is s0. ‘Anyway, if traffic regulations @1l lights continue to multiply about the center as they have in the past, and it existing ones are changed every fortnight or &0 as at present, it ht to be a great help to the| gir plane manufactures, for in an airplane hurrying business men could whir over the lights and| gleefully stick their {ongues out at them. 1t ought to be a great help, we [ iy, but it izn't.

People come to the hearings with set ideas concerning the questions involved and in many cases have a wrong version of the entire matter. The engincer, soon to sense that they are on the wrong track, will | carefully explain in the simpliest language possible just what. the board intends to do. Immediately three and four speakers take the fioor and work themsclves to a high pitch of excitement. They speak on everything bif the matter itsclf and again the cngineer will explain. They start talking among them- selves, and almost without fail, one of them will take the leader and in hot language, will ad- dress them in their native language. This causes a shaking of heads in assent and finally the board is ready to put the question to a vote The clerk will read the names and instead of answering yes or no, the property owner will get up and de- liver an oration of cxtended length that no one hut himself understands. After he is through the clerk will sk him patiently whether he is in cor or not and will finally rececive answer. This is repeated all the way down the list. At one hearing oxactly 20 men involved in the hearings spoke at least five minutes felled Deacon Chapman. part of a, opposition to the question, a lai number of voices sang éut in dis- approval Upon questioning the resi- dents in their native language, a member of the beard discovered that they weré not in opposition to the proposed werk. Incidentally the en- gineer had explained carefully at the beginning of the hearing what the city intended to de but his speech was lost on hias listeners. Upon a re-vote the entire gathering voted for the petition, Situations like this rise weekly and try the patience of the board. The owners put themselves on the de- fensive at the beginning of the hearing and fall to hear half of what is told them. ‘When it comes time for the clerk to put the subject to a vote, he tells the gathering to answer “yes' it they are in favor and “no” it they are opposed when their name is called. The result is that the clerk receives anything but the desired answer. Rome will stand up when their names are called and will re- main silent until the clerk ques- tions them. Others will say “here, that's m and other such replies, forcing the clerk to repeat his ques- tions. Many times people have replied “yes” as the clerk read off their names when they really meant ".no." The clerk generally reads the list over when he has completed the call and in many cases indifnant property owners have taken the floor to state that they did not vote in favor of the proposition. When the clerk asks them if they answered "y when he called their names, they admit that they did but they thought that he wanted to know 1f they were present and did not know that a vote was being taken. These are only a few of the experiences that the hoard has to contend with and it requires a great deal of pa- tience on the part of the commis- sioners to sit through hearings weekly without losing its terfiper. Wonen Are Prodncers As Well As Spenders Women ¢ been called the world's greatest spenders, but the Women's Burcau of the U. 8, De- partment of Labor is picturing them in a different role, as producers of much of the goods that all of us buy, in a motion picture, “Within the Gates,” being released for gen- eral use tod One in every five workers is a woman, the film says, quoting the U.

As a concrete ex- ample of women's present-day par- ticipation in this system, the course of the entire textile industry is shown throug! the making of a single shirt. This “tale of a shirt” begins with the picking of the cot- ton in the ficlds; follows the fasein- ating proc 8 in the mills by which the raw cotton is turned first into thread and then inte cloth; zoes with the bales of cloth to the #hirt factory; shows the various women at work on the different parts until, when they are asser .- bled, a garment ready to sell across the counter isturned out. How that garment is sold to “Mother,” who comes to buy it for “Dad,” and how it reaches its final destination in “Dad’s” hands at home is part of the story. The picture ends with an appeal that the 81 million women at work in this country be given & fair chance and good working con- ditions “for the sake of a greater America.” “Within the Gates” will be Jent by the Women's Burcau to respon- sible borrowers upon payment of ex- press charges to and from Washing- ton.
