Macdonald, the 28-year-ola Englishman who started a solo flight with a small “Moth™ plane trom Newfoundland to England. may reach his destination; or he may not. If he does he will be re- garded as a very heroic person; if he fails criticism of his foolhardiness will be quite rampant. This is no time of the year, it will be said, for solo flights across the Atlantic. Regardless of what happens to the | courageous aviator, one cannot help pausing to reflect about the good | that such a trip can do for aviation. In just what manner is the science “advanced” thusly? But perhaps Mr. Macdonald knows and can tell us all about it when he gets to England. e ELIMINATING ANOTHER It is gratifying to learn that blue i prints for the elimination of the grade crossing at South street, over the branch railroad line between Berlin and New Dritain, have been prepared and are ready for the perusal of the state highway de- partment. Mayor Paoncssa, who has been an ardent advocate of the plan to pro- vide an underpass at the point, is | naturally glad at this evidence of achievement. He will be even better pleased when the actual work be- gins next spring. 1 I'his is the double-barreled cross- ing which forms a triangle at the railrond, The viaduct of course will take care of Stanley street as well as South street, which form the triangle at this point. It is only a short dis- tance from the lower terminal of Stanley street, opposite Willow Brook park, and in the years to come ought to be quite an artery of traf- fic. The need for a viaduct now, rather than indefinite waiting to no purpose, is self-evident. The plans call for a distribution of the cost betwgen the city, the state and the railroad company. No difference of opinion as to the ratio of payments should permit unneces- sary delay. Only one principle need apply; dangerous grade crossings should be eliminated at the earliest opportunity. THE HERMIT Why is it that every hermit is be- | lieved rich? Why is it that each time | an individual, tired of the battle of lie in the crowded centers or deter- mined to live the remainder of his days in a hut or a cabin far from the | haunts of men, is quickly singled out as not only an eccentrlc individual but as one certain to have a small gold mine hidden beneath the planks? Or that he has bonds and securities stowed in some crevice about the premiscs? Or maybe, to lend variety to the inevitable rumors, | he is considered a pal of some crook | doing time and when the erook comes out of prison they will divide $75,000 until then reposing in a tree trunk. o { The world's quickest way to attain to a reputation of being wealthy— to some minds-—must be to become a recluse, onc living in a house alongside the road and watching the races of men go by. | B oABiant B o deh o the | feeble-minded that if a man really is rich he doesn’t need to be a her- mit. | Which leads us to the cruel treat ment accorded the hermit near | Bristol. This was an act that by its | very nature causes a recoil of horror in the minds of every person valuing libirty and justice. The miscreants responsible will get no sympathy the law pushes to its punishment. as inevitable SALT FROM | speeches |out The New York World, we note, is not a whit backward in pointing out that Attorney General Sargent made his announcement that renewal of the Fall contract was illegal just a few days after the World began lambasting the situation. This is no time, someone might have thought, to let more oil agitation creep into | the campaign, especially when Dr. Hubert Work, present national Re- publican chairman, happened to re- new the contract last February. By quietly and quickly terming this re- newal uncalled for the attorney gen- eral deftly ends what might have proved to be just a li{tle more to worry about in this rather torrid campaign. The blow to the Sinclair company is not without its recompense, al- though the latter is altogether in the past. Fall executed the contract in 1922—about the time he was writing letters to President Harding com- mending the administration for the economy and efficiency he claimed was being widely practiced. The contract Lad five years to run. When |it expired last year the Sinclair boys claithed they had a renewal option; and of course were very anxious to renew the option. Dr. Work, at that time not having graduated into a generalissimo of politics,» merely be- ing secrctary of the interior, natur. ally thought there was nothing else to do but renew the contract, accord- ing to the precious option. So it went until the World began smelling a new rat on the oil premises, ‘Well, Mr. Sargent happily prevent- ed unnecessary trouble about a touchy subject. The old oil scandals, it had been widely heralded, were not the fault of this administration; nobody in it was contaminated. But the salt up Salt Creek stuck to the fingers of Dr. Work regime and there could have been no dodging of responsibility had the deal been left to go through. Now | there is even a little glory in it, though it may have been forced on the gentlemen who can now claim they did their duty and abrogated the lease as soon as attention was called to it. So far as the oily gentlemen are concerned, they had five years of a different kind of glory: They landed nearly 20,000,000 barrels of oil out of Salt Creek, worth nearly $34,- 000,000. Nobody knows whether that much remains up the creek, | —— THE “PARAMOUNT” ISSUE Gifford Pinchot, former governor of Pennsylvania, for several years has been punching the sides of the political elephant with a stiletto. On ! more than one occasion he has made the boys in the party wish the former governor would tend to his retire- ment down on his write 50 many farm and not communications to newspapers nor magazine articles. compose 80 many But in spite of the fact that Gif- | ford Pinchot opposed Mr. Hoover about the farm situation, that he opposed the Coolidge administration on the McNary-Haugen situation, that he opposed all comers who dis- agreed with him on the power sit- uation—Pinchot is an adamant enemy of the power trust—the gentleman now announces he will support Mr. Hoover for President. The reason given is because Mr. Hoover is bone dry. Mr. Pinchot himself is like that too—dry as the 8ahara. Prohibition, in Mr. Pinchot's estimation, being the paramount is- sue, he is going to vote for the dry candidate. He makes it plain, however, that he will support Mr. Hoover for no other reason. He cannot make for him—his conscience wouldn’t permit him and he couldn’t deny now the things he has said in the past. After the election is over we have no doubt Mr. Pinchot will come down to earth and back to form and begin backbiting again. He is a good hand at it.

Tt was creditable, however, that he pre- vented the crowd from throwing the Which reminds us of the day when campaign speakers were subject to hecklers much more frequently than seems to be the custom today. Heckling is a sign that persons of an opposite political faith are in the hall, persons who might be convert- ed if the argument is strong enough. Nowadays it seems that the Demo- crats exclusively go to all the Demo- cratic rallies, while the Republicans go to all the Repubican ralies, and the speakers might as well be put- ting on a soliloquy for all the good their talks do to the audiences in front. MONEY IN THE ELECTION What is worrying the grand old party in this election—at least one of the things—is that the hated Democrats have money. In 1920 and 1924, as Frank R. Kent eloquently proclaims, the Re- publicans showed up on election day with “anywhere from $7 to $10 to the Democratic $1.” This year, it is widely whis; red and actually ad- mitted, the Democrats will be able to match dollas for dollar. To people who frantically believe in honesty at the polls thias does not matter. Votes are not bought and sold. Money on election day greases the wheels of the chariots operated by the “worker,” however; it em- polys the workers, in fact. And plenty of married workers in a ward, each with from 10 to 20 relatives, do no harm to any party. Let any party influence an average of 20 voters in every precinct, or a few times that many in every ward, and the tone of the election changes exceedingly, RHYTHM We listened to a dance orchestra {over the radio the other day and | naturally were struck by the monotonous rhythm. Every piece sounded about alike. And worst of all, there wasn't a perceptible change of key throughout the entire per- formance. This leads to a contemplation of the deficiencies of the average dance orchestra. With the saxophones in E flat and B flat, music in flat keys are best playable. Most of the time the rollicking tunes are written in these two keys, Let them play a half dozen pieces all written in the same ikoy and the monotony is not alto- gether due to the rhythm, | New York Let our jazzists begin playing pieces in three and four sharps, or even in two, and mix them up a bit, sparkle. That's how Paul Whiteman does in almost every plece, and the difference is marked. One of the big jazz bands starts a tune in E flat |and on the final climax plays it in K natural-—thus acutely avolding the mouth organ effect of too much monotony. Let the lesser jazz boys learn thelr stuff better and force listeners to | realize they can play in more than {one or two keys. 25 VYears Ago Today “There’s going to be a storm,” said a man on Main street today. When asked how he knew, he re- plied, “Whenever you sce a lot of baby carriages out, you can always bet there is going to be a storm.” He looked up a‘ the sky and con- tinued, “It's getting cloudy.” At the meeting of the street com- mittce last night it was revealed that the city did not have money enough to resurface Main street, which is inches deep with mud. There have been many complaints about untrimmed trees in varlous parts of the city b@t Alderman Cur- itis said that they would soon be bare and the need for trimming {would not be so apparent.

By Dr. George Rockwell Of the many different types of headaches, let us examine a few: We have the headache which ap- pears immediately after shaving with an old razor blade, which Is commonly referred to as a dul headache. Another variety manifests iteelf after ecxcessive bending or stooping in a dice game. This is called the shooting headache. The Splitting Headache, of which we hear so much, is actually very rare —Abraham Lincoln being the first case on record of which we know. Though this is the only true form of a splitting headache, a different variety is seen today which attacks fight promoters and theatrical man- agers. Headaches can also be a symp- tom of eye strain of which there is an annual epllemic every year around the moath of March, due to the excessive strain on the eyes caused by staring at either figures of the income tax or figures on the boulevards which are exposed by the March winds. The proper exclamation for the absence of headaches -among mice has since been determined. It is due to the lack of eye strain, which they enjoy by sleeping days, and never reading with a bright light in their eyes. Therefore, if you suffer from headaches, they are either the re- sult of eye strain, high blood pres- sure, worry or physical violence, and regardless of the type with which you may be atfected, you /il do well to consult a reliable physi- cian, and not try to secure relief by monkeying around with Doctors’ books, as many people have died from a misprint.
