This pavement is asphaltic maca- dam, the well ground crushed stone on top of it being bound by the asphalt into the macadam, pro- viding @ surface that improyes by wear and does not show the common tendency to develop jolts for auto- mobile springs. It is in striking con- trast to the pavement laid down along parts of Monroe strect a few years ago, which was devoid of as- phalt, seeming to rely upon the ac- tion of the elements to hold it to- gether, like country roads. The asphaltic macadam style of pavement likewise was laid down upon a section of Myrtle street, this Lefore the pavement along Steele sireet was thought of. It also has been put down along a few other short stretches and threatens to be- come a standard for the less travel- cd thoroughfares in the city. Myrtle street, of course, is traveled consid- crably, unlike suburbam, streets; but the pavement has stood up beautl- fully and is better today than when | it was put down. The fact that this pavement is & local idea, cvolved to meet the nceds of minor strects and enable the city to take up more extensive paving operations without wooing the bogey of excessive costs, is gratifying. The result will be many more improved streets in the outlying sections dur- |ing the next few yeal ACTION IN PLAINVILLE ON SCHOOL NEEDS Evidence that Plainville is an up- and-coming community continues to pile up. This time it is meet to con- |sider the quick-witted manner in which it handled an educational problem.

It what similar to which obtained in New RBritain in regard to the senior high Here it also was a question was a case son that school. of constructing an addition on land already owned by the city. Here the similarity ends, however. In Plainville the voters promptly took the word of the educators as to how the school needs should be met; in New Britain there was a first class | matter before the | | with scrap over the educators won their point. Plainville evidently has sary to construct its high school tw8 years ago. Before the construction of this splendid bullding was begun two years of intensive propaganda us to the need for it was nceded. The Plainville school department had quite a task to shoulder in edu- | 'cating the citizenry regarding the educational neds of the town at that time and evidently did it so thor- oughly that the lesson has remained | to this day, DUTY ON TOBACCO It has shock to Connecticut agricultural interests that one of the objeets of tariff tinkering in Congress is to re- duce been discovered wilh a them.

So far as being an in- | dustry employing high grade labor | is concerned, the growers had best | remain quiet about this point. 1 No one denies, however, that the Connecticut tobacco companies are entitled to as much relative protec- tion any other industry in Con- necticut or elsewhere. This would be cven a more pecullar world than it happens to be if some industries in the country were to enjoy abundant | tariff protection while the tobacco industry were to be denied such pro- tection. Of course, tariffs increase the cost of the finished articles to the consumer—that {is one of the objectives of tariffs—but so long as the nation believes in the principle let it be generally applied, not only to favored industries. main THE WRIGHT “SCOOP” The crank in England who some | time ago announced he would send |a message to Mars—and really at- more publicity than came to the | Wright brothers 25 years ago when they first flew their “flying ma- chine” at Kitty Hawk, N.

This it is evident, was among the 29 per cent of the nation which did | not consider this epoch-making | event seriously, Attempts to foist wild stories upon editors are being made all the time and most of the gentlemen of the press are inclined to be super-critical. 1t is nothing remarkable that the Norfolk reporter who trailed the | Wrights and got the first story of their flight was regarded as an tm- | postor in well-regulated newspaper | circles story paper, The Wrights were unknown and regarded by the few who saw erlr‘ contraption two Yankee fools | trying to make sport of nature.
