Introduce that one to prevent speakers from talking long and saying little, Bomehow the woman juywalker in New York, who made fools out of ten policemen, got . & lot of sym- pathy from New Britain jaywalkers. On learning that Mr. Hoover will | not make public his cabinet selec- tions. until after the inaugural the average good guesser will not quit trying to pick it for him; cspecially the journalistic guessers. According to the edict of a tailors’ convention, every well-dressed man “must” have 20 suits of clothes; and algo 24 pairs of shocs. At least we have discovered what ails the tailor. ing and the shoe industries: There are not enough well-dressed men. There may be a whispering cam- paign in the fire department, bt so long as it doesn't add fuel to the flames we refuse to be worried. INCIDENTALLY— Another roason why one gets the impression the wizards of finance at city hall are not as hot as they sometimes get credit for is given in the incidental account of the city's bookkeeping. This is the account that is administered by the print- ing and supplics committce of the Comwnon Council and is designed to take eure of the incidental expenses cf the city government. As no one can guess beforchand the number cf miscellaneous bills which are likely to accrue during a year it is necessary to bave this fund on hand and In charge of a committee which can make payments within a rea sonable time. 4 The urge to ‘reduce expcnscs” sometimes becomes grotesque. For instance, when the board of finance and taxation last apring set the in- cidental tund at $40,000 — already a low figure — the Common Coun- cil went even better and helped save the tax rate by reducing the figure to $36,000, Then they stroked thele chins, chuckled and called that economy. Unfortunately the incidental bills take nmo cognizance of this type of economy. They roll in all the same. Already expenses applicable to this fund total more than $43.000, and before April rolls around the total thinks of going fo $50,000. Such guesswork indicates clcarly that nobody in city hall ever went to guessing school. The difference be- tween $36,000 and $50.000 proves it. Consequently “ov there is an | value of education given in build- . GCHOOL BUILDING COSTS New scheel builldings costs repre- sent an investment; and this Bot only In the bulldings themselves but in good citizenship. The city takes pride in its new school buildings, it will take pride in ita new senior high scheol when it is completed, and the time will never come when the majority of intelligent citizens of the city will cease to regard an ample, modern and sufficient school plant in any other light. Paying for the buildings erccted in recent years goes op apace, and though the figures yearly -roll imto six figures, this money represcnts a capital investment. The city has the buildings and will possess them for them has been paid. This year payments on the prin- cipal represented by school bonds will total $162,000; interest on achool bonds will total $154.802.50; fund. This reaches = grand total of $325,802.50. To question the value received for this money is to question the ings and under surroundings com- | mensurate with its importance. We refuse to be included in that minor- ity. IMPROVING TRE WATER Jt ie comparatively casy to grow dizzy in contemplating the costs of the improvements and expansions found necessary by the board.of water commissioners. But it should be remembered that the water sys- tem not only pays its own operating costs, but provides its own sinking fund from carnings; consequently no appropriation by the city is neces- sary. The idea is to have the board of finance and taxation approve the fi- nancial set-up of the water commia- sioners, as provided by charter, and what bonds are necessary to improve and expand the system will be jssued in the regular manner and provided for through the action of the board itself. A public utility such as this is un- der constant scrutiny. Innumerable cities are served by private water companics, and none of them are slow te make comparisons with a municipal plant if the opportunity i-‘ one which tends to indicate that the private plants are better managed. 1t weuld be difficult to find a private plant, we are confident, which hll‘ been so well managed as the local municipal plant. Not only are the local rates low, the financial in. come ample, and the public good will excelient, but the outlook is one of expansion in a wmanner that acems destined never to leave the city in doubt about its water supply. RESPONSIBILITY FOR SIDEWALKS Compromise of a legal action be- | tween the city and a citizen who | sued the city for damages following fall upon a slippery sidewalk again brings forward & situation that is not well understood because it differs in various municipalitics. And it also illustrates why it is sa neces- sary for the city to sec that all side- walks are properly kept safe regard- less of the weather. The citizen who fell and broke an arm had a cause for action against the abutting property owner and against the city.

Alrcady & good many miles of cencrete have been put down and it is merely & question of time be- fore a “ribbon” will stretch from Massachysetts to the Dominion on which it will be a joy for motorists to drive. But to those of us who have driv- en over Vermont roads wien they were dirt there cannot help but be 2 pang of regret to seo .the white concrete atretching before us. Ver- mont's dirt roads arc just about the finest in the country and there ia nothing better than a dirt road for pleasant driving when the Wghway is kept in good condition. And Ver- mont's were always immaculate. Teams of horses were cmployed to drag them continually and one was able to ride for miles over & high- way ‘where there was hardly & bump or & jar to mar the journey. 5 There is no doubt that the hard surface road is the more practical as the driving in the early spring and late fall was not pleasant when ! the mud abounded on the highway. This is, of course, eliminated with the new system. And Vermont has, made no mistake in putting in con- | crete in proference to macadam. | The traffic will never wear out either road but the weather will destroy the macadam quicker than the con- crete in preference to macadam. the former has been into tien when “chuck holes.” But the sheer thrill of the mar- velous dirt roads will be gone. The pleasure of scooting over the brown | highways at 40 to 50 miles an hour, with no speed cops to stop one, can- not be duplicated on a concrete highway which brings into this vir. gin section of New England & spirit of materialism that has heretofore been lacking. 3 The world makes progress. It does not stand still, cven in rural Ver- mont. But in making progress some of our treasured pleasurcs have to be throwa into the dincard. —— e SALVATION ARMY TROUBLES By a decision of the English chancery court, General Bramwell Booth, supreme commander of the Salvation Army = throughput the world, is to have an opportunity to organization to' protest his removal from office. An injunction which restrained the council from removing Gencral has been made permanent by Justiee Fve pending the appearance or representation of Gencral Booth Le- | fore the council.

AMONG 'THOSE REPORTED “MISSING IN ACTION” Notables Omitted | from Recent War Stories) By Oliver S, Crist There was the exhilarated private on leave, standing in the concourre of Bt. Lazare station in June, 1918, who came to a rigid attention on the approach of a brigadicr and re- tinue, saluted with overwhelming &ravity, and announced in stentorian tones, “Salucious tucious.” There was the *Y” secrctary st 1ssoudun, who was & bit on the fancy side, and replied in one eve- ning fo fAifty various Inquiries for strawberry jam as follows, “No stwabewy jam—only pwum.” There was the unidentified cor- poral outside Thiaucourt, 1918, who succeeded in singing for five con- secutive hours an ebecure Miserere with this doleful refrain: “Oh, gee! 1 guess ] got those red white blues— Got to give - up everything I don't want to lose— But when the war is over And peace romes again, I'm going right back te yéu— Back to my Red-eyed, Pale white, Very, very blue war bride.” And, especially, there was Hutch- eson of Gendrecourt, retired colonel of His Majesty's force, veteran of twenty-two wars and a surviver of Mons—a glowing seul who shewed up st school in the late afternoon, faintly aromatic of brandy and with a bloed pressure well over 200, to lecture American officers there as- sembled.
