By the time this is over the city's 2now account will be no account. The real genius of modern life is a man who can malke a living writing poetry. 1t perhaps is merely a coincidence that right after President Coolidge observed that Americans are learn- ing the art of living the new car models appeared. All of us cannot aspire to being named to the President’s cabinet, but many more of us may be included in the so-called “sucker liste.” Who ever thought that Colonel Lindbergh would beat the Prince of ‘Wales to the halter? After all, shoveling snow is good exercise. That's why dad, who necds ' the exercise, assigns the job to his hopeful, who gets all the exercise he needs by playing basketball. Waterbury has a terribly high tax rate, but before the present snow- fall started it still had nearly all of its $15,000 appropriation for snow- removal intact. Deems Taylor, writing a second American opera, says he spent two years on it and must lay it aside be- cause he put more thought than “motion into it. He will take up a new book and look for new ideas. After all. it's pretty good publicity. Chester H. 1oprexentative Gray, Washington of the American l'arm Bureau, wants a tariff of 75 cents a bunch on bananas. Bananas are not grown in the United Siates. Liut wheg people eat bananas they cut less cereals, according to Mr. ay. Hence the eating of banan: “makes direct inroads on the do. mestie market for the farmer's grains.” If that's the way they feel about it we don't care if they never get any kind of relicf. Before approving the $10,000 ap- propriation to cover the cxpense of the Foot Guard to attend the in- augural Governor Trumbull says he waited to sce whether public senti- went also approved. Public senti- ment was heard from in dignificd silence.

Hen ry Roraback, started with a capital of $300,000, and a day later increas- ed the capital stock to $1.300.000. Thus a cool million was added in one day. Why didn’t the concern get incorporated with the large amount |in the first place? We do not suppose anyone’s suspicions would have been aroused, but the true strength of the giant concern would have been more evident. “Whether pany will be affiliated directly or in- [ direetly with the U.

There is no ! guurantee at all that the folks who | refer to the high cost of schooling {will naturally vote the Democratic jticket at the next campaign. The | children of Democrats as well as Re- { publicans attend the improved schools; and plenty of Democrats, 1o | our personal knowledge, look upon [ the schiools with pride. For ycars there was ugitation in | the city that the schoolssystem was | out-of-date. Some of the buildings ; for human | {use, and this by unanimous consent | | were considered unfit of all those whose children attended them and those who had occasion to visit them occasionally, or even | glimpse them from the outside. Scat- ing capacity was insufficient. Port- able schools were common, It was an all-round unsatisfactory condition, and nothing was more popular than to speak of and advocate a 1odern school systen, Now we have some modern school bulldings, they have cost money, and the paid for. It meems mighty poor sportsmanship to howl that cveryone once agreed was necessary. is the Dritain surcly is not disposcd to consider it |in any other light.

It Is now being said that the Puritans were not as op- posed to all pleasures as they have been given credit; that they had a little fun now and then, and that | they even gave a bit of leeway to idcas regarding companionate m riage. Indeed, so it is clalmed, the practice was 8o common in the Massachusetts colony that steps had to be taken by the-leaders to atop the practice. o Which yields the conclusion that this companionate marriage business | is not so new, after all. The man under the sun might have been mis- | taken in some respects, but in con- | nection with human nature he \\-uk not far wrong. QOue need only to read the amusing stories of the “bundling” practice that was a part of the custom in early New England to conclude that the Puritans had a few ideas that would not be coyn- ! tenanced in modern soclety. Independent, courageous and with convictions no other men or set of men could change, the New Lng- | land Puritans left an indelible im- pression upon American society Their descendants have dropped ¢ some of their bad points, judging by the rather gay tendencies of the times, but they can do ne better than retain their undeniable good points, We haven't secn anything about Punta Arenas in the public prints for a long time, 0 we intend to call attention to thia isolated eity of some 10,000 people.

Part 1 Monday L An interesting case came up for hearing at the District Court the other day when Old Man River, a stalwart centenarian, was placed in the dock on the charge of rolling along. A remarkable feature, which transpired in the course of the pro- ceedings, was the fact that the cus- tomary warning to the effect that anything said might be used in evi- dence had proved to be unnecessary.| as accused had maintained a stub- born silence throughout. “He don’t say nothing.” declarcd P. C, Parkin, when called Into the box. Despite this reticence, however, the police are convinced that accused must | know something, and the hope is en- tertained that he may be induced to divulge later, Investigations concerning the oc- cupation of accused had elicited the negative facts that he does not plant potatoes, neither does he plant cot- ton. The judge. however, interven- ing at this juncture pointed out that this was not sufficiently definite: and, after some deliberation, it was stated that accused, so far as cou:d be ascertained, just Loeps rolling adiourncd. pending the appearance in court of Mr, Jul s Blednoe, Part 2 Wednesday District Court Kesult. | River Acquitted, Part % Saturday Don't miss tomorrow’s enthralling feature, “The Story of My Life,” by Old Man River.
