WHY NOT CIVIL SERVICE Heaving a shot into delicate po- litical machinery is no task for a nervous wreck. Even the more mus- cular and physically perfect speci- mens shrink from the job if there i a chance that the machinery will not be seriously damaged. Occasionally, however, some stalwart sportsman Lappening to be stimulated with ambition and a certain nonchulance regarding the inevitability of fate or hard luck, lifts the shot with tender care, carefully, and pushes forward his good right arm. Then let the weighty substance fall where it may—he has done his duty. It is said that the gentleman be- hind the civil service movement for policemen and firemen in this city is | no less a Ehot-putter the mayor himself. One would unsus- pectingly conclude that, his honor being something of a professor of | politics, he would be in favor of the spoils system, or any of its little brothers or distant cousins. Tut | here is the record: The grand old | Democratic party of this bailiwick threw the civil service shot into the Common Council in the form of & | resolution that the charter of the | city be doctorcd so as to permit the debut of civil service appointments. Of course, the charter revision com- mittee got the order to consider and report. One is fate of ci a similar shot was put in this city; then, as now, the cily was repre- sented in the Legislature by Repub- | licans; then, as now, the Legisla- ture was overshelmingly g. 0. p. In- | stead of landing in the vitals of the | machinery the shot fell short and | rolled into the ten-pin alley of ob- livion. Politics triumphed with onc | of those resounding whacks that! sound like a presidential salute of | 21 guns. How the present system works might be an eye-opener for such cognoscenti of citizenship as have | nce that parlous time. | A perfect specimen of physical well- | being wants to be a fireman.

That is why, six years ago, the machinists in the Legislature kicked the shot into the ten-pin alley. We profess little hope that anmy- thing better will happen this time. Civil service ideas are simply net liked in Connecticut. What is the use of having organization, from the top down to the most picayume job in the state—whatever that may be —if the friends and hard workers and those able to swing votes are not to get first choice regardless of fitness? It simply is too heterodox a conception to please the boys pulling the guy ropes. Wishing success to the civil serv. ice movement, however, is some- thing else. With the joy that comes with doing one’s duty well we proffer our best wishes. 1t may be a hope- less battle, a 40 to 1 chance; but occasionally the dark horse wins the race. The gentlemen behind this movement deserve the well-wishes of all friends of efficient govern- ment. CITY PLAN COMMISSION There is one point about George A. Quigley that stands out: When he gets hitched to some public en- terprise things begin to pop. He may not be right all the time, but he is a man of action; perhaps he has made mistakes in life, but so has everybody else. The one mistake that the ex-mayor never makes is to go to sleep on any job on which he happens to be working. Thus when Mayor Paonessa ap- pointed him to the chairmanship of the City Plan Commission it was somewhat a victory for the mayor as well as for the ex-mayor when the Commission speedily confirmed the mayor's recommendation. The mayor, a Jeffersonian with a bang, seems to have known no politics when he selected Mr. Quigley, & Hamiltonian of deep indelible black. The selection ought to confound | those, by no means insignificant in number, who chatter to themselves and those within carshot that the mayor “is always playing politics.” The mayor's undying friendship and unstinted recognition of Edward F. Hall as an adviser and financial plenipotentiary also comes to mind in this connection, “13d” being one of those stalwart Republicans who vote the ticket straight—"from the top down to the yellow dog"—in cvery election. There had been no the City Plan Commission from April 10 to November 21. During that period it slumbered beaatifully, without even bad dreams to cause unconscious growls. In waking the Commission out of this somniferous meeting of more dangerous than & rubber | hose; and the manner in which the lLoys have sat up and talked about mundane civic problems at least pro- vides the optimists among our citi- zenry with hope that the period of awakening may be long and vigor- ous; and incidentally the insatiable reporters with the expectancy of more and better copy. STATUS OF FILLING STATIONS Of filling stations, like books, there is no end; and willy-nilly, filling sttaions are more important to the multitude of tireless tire-travelers than stacks of literature. It is much casier to find a place to park a boox, however, than a place to park a fill- ing station. And that's what all the trouble is ahout—the contention, dissention and unfavorable mention | found in every city. Some would have filling stations outlawed from hoods entirely; and these, it turns out, are sufficiently numerous to be residents of every neighborhood, so ! that if the law would listen we would some place where residences for miles have to go fo there are no around if we would travel via gaso- He must come well recommended by | line and motor.

The interminable argument which has afflicted this jawn of antomobilitis continues, one n city from the might say, with unabated fury +n age when everyhody needs gaso- drink. line as he needs meat and nobody wants one of marks of two or three blocks of the domestic hearth. Perhaps, to use mild terms, | it is an astonishing situation. Yet the | surprise rapidly declines when one is told that the chief alleged effrct of a proximious gas dispensary is that surrounding property tends to | increase in value in a decresendo of | tempo. That hurts. Obviously, there is an clement of beauty, of artistic fown ptanning in- volved: but unless onr mind is more utrophied than usual, and our per- ception blunted from over-indnigence in thought, it is our stradfast con- viction that if gas stations tended to increase really values in the vicinity not a soul would object to their presence. They might still obliterate | beauty and spatter sticky mud on the canvas of art—but if they iner values we would favor one neat door. | ¥es, we are a practical nation. While the north is feeling the stings of chilly breeses, the govern- ors of various states have been en- joying balmy breezes down in New Orleans, finding the weather a vast stimylant for hard thinking and momentous discussions. The chief function of these governors' confer ences, however, is to permit the chief executives to get acquainted with one another; and, as it hap- pens, one of the attractions of the | New Orleans gathering is to give the more adventurous of their number an opportunity to go aloft with Gov- ernor Trumbull in his airplane. Due to his unfaltering interest in aviation, the Lindbergh of the governors has an opportunity to be more promi- {nent than any other, | Coming from such a high source, the proposal of Herbert Hoover to create a fund of $3,000,000,000 to provide public works in slack times perhaps will turn out to be the most important economic matter discussed by the governors. Governor Ralph O. Brewster of Maine, who presented the plan, must have been grievously disappointed at the lack of definite support by his colleagues. The ex- planation is that the governors do not pass resolutiona. This seems to be the only important body extant that refuses itself the indulgence of pass- ing resolutions; many organizations prefer to do almost nothing else. The scheme is in line with what one might term the best public thought on the .question of unem- ployment. But even at its best it has some disadvantages. Public works &ive employment to rough labor; but usually all those out of emptoyment are not adepts at rough labor, jand indeed cannot earn enough at it ito pay the rent—if they happen to be skilled mechanics thrown out of work by mnewfangled labor-saving machinery. This is getting to be an important problem in the midst of widespread prosperity, as the notice of the Federation of Labor recently. We are inventing more machinery than we necd, and the day may yet come when the most important business of the day will be the pushing of buttons or the turning of switches which start automatic machinery in operation. Such questions, however, are too much for the governors in council assembled. Thought can be set in motion at their councils, but definite action is barred. The next meeting | will be held in New England, and its main result will some good advertising of the scenic advantages of this tier of states. That's a sight easier than grappling with stubborn economic questions. came to CANNONS AS MEMORIALS Just what is & captured cannon? A memorial? Or just an cxhibit?

Washington SAYS COAL GAN BE TRANSFORMED Scienist Declaes 1t Can Be Made From Petroleum Pittsburgh, Nov. 23 (M—A new process that converts petroleum into coal was announced at the second International Conference on Bitu- minous Coal at the Carnegie Inati- tute of Technology today. Outside of laboratories coal has not hereto- fore been made of oil. The announcement surprised a conference which gathered because there is a surplus of coal and which has been hearing how to turn coal into gasoline. More Gasoline The creator of the new process, Dr. Walter Rittman, sald that not- withstanding the fact that it makes coal, the real importance is its power to produce more gasoline, and that it contains also the possibility of converting crude petroleum entirely into gasoline. Dr. Rittman is the famous chem- ist, who gave the world, free of any charge, his patents for gasoline cracking processes. He is now pro- fessor and head of the department of commercial engineering, at Car- negie Institute of Technology. Uses Waste The new Rittman process uses the waste petroleum left after all the gasoline obtainable by, cracking has been extracted. By hedting ani running this waste through pipe coils several thousand feet long, each 400 tons of waste changes through vapor into 300 tons of oil that is re- covered from manufacture of gaso- line, and into 100 tons of residue that is coal. Dr. Rittman explained that this coal under analysis proved similar to more than half_a dozen natural coals. His process differs from those previously used on pe- troleum waste which produced coke instead of coal. SMART GLASSES =) Frank E. Goodwin| , Ejyesight Specialist 327 Main St. Tel. 1905 Boston .
