It is rea. sonable to suppoes that the peeple of the state, who in case of public ownership would accept the respon- sibilities of owning the property, should have a word to say abeut whether this should be done. From this standpoint, therefore, the action of the Legialature, we think, was just. Criticism, we notice, is most severe in those sources which op- pose state ownership on principle. MAKING THE CITY PAY It appears that the boy who when stepping from the sidewalk was in- Jjured by a motercycle driven by a city policeman will receive no con- sideration frem City Hall—if the city is not forced to pay through the medium of legal machinery. The claims committee is supposed to be “hard boiled;” which is another way of saying it will bulldeze anyone out of their just deserts if it can be done. In the case of Belvidere residents, however, the case was different. Here were a large number of voters who were aroused over the damage done by water which flooded their premises due to inadequate storm sewers. Had damage been done to an isolated individual only the city probably woyd have refused to pay; but being confronted with a bagful of notes was a different matter. Those having claims against a negligent city will get their money if there are enough at one time to make a political impression; but if not that, then there seems to be no recourse except through legal chan- nels. Fortunately the courts are not hard boiléd in such matters. A SIDEWALK THAT 188T A woman pushing a baby carriage along onz of the rocky slopes of the incline leading to Black Rock bridge the other day stumbled when a foot came into contact with one of the protruding young boulders the so-called sidewalk and caused & leg injury. Meanwhile " mer grip on the baby carriage slipped and the preciéus perambulator started roll- ing down hill, heading for the street. Automobiles were rushing along the incline and the stage was set for & tragedy, with a baby the probable victim. But fate was kind when the baby carriage ended its flight by bumping against & pole alongside the curb. The city is supposed to be waiting for the bridge to be widened before putting down a sidewalk. The city is woefully delinquent in not pro- viding a proper sidewalk meanwhile. THE RACKET Once everyone was identified with some sort of “game.” The word bes ‘nn 10 be a speeies of contraction for ocation.” Acdording to this, we were engaged in the “newspaper game.” “What's your line” originated in the Pullman smokers, where travel- ers are wont to meet and discuss the business characteristics of the towns along the route; the outloek for good trade in the lines represent- ed by the assembled salesmen—the outlook was always “goed, believe us"—or there were sundry vebal ex- cursions into the ramifications of dirty politics. Now it's the “racket.” Having its origin in the underworld, made of common application by frequent use, the word has been divested of its former mean associations and has pretty much taken over the duties of “game” und “line." So it goes. Next year there will be another new standardized word to ditch its forerunners. We probably will first hear of it in the talkies, BERLIN AT ODDS WITH ITSELF It has become evident that the residents of the wideflung com- | munity ef Berlin are finding it in- creasingly difficult to agree upon some of the elementary needs of a three horns of the dilemma are: Berlin, East Ber- lin, and Kensington. Recently there was a dispute about where a projected school should be constructed. Now there is disagreement as to where a fire house shall be built, if and when the town decides to dispense with the fire-fighting aid of New Britain and “go on its own" in this respect. The first suggestion made seems to have been that the fire house should be constructed in Berlin. Immedi- ately word is heard from East Ber- lin and Kensington that a firehouse in Berlin center would not do them much geod. The three sections of Berlin. to our way of thinking, will have to agree to cooperate in better spirit if permanent progress is to be assured. Manifestly a firehouse ‘cannot be |constructed in each part of the town —not for a while, at least; and if any at all is to be constructed there must be agreement predicated upon a willingness to agree. It seems to us that. considering the speed of modern firé trucks, that the three horought of Berlin will be fairly well protected no matter what site is chosen. “SCIENTIFIC MANAGEMENT™ EVILS - upon any pet theory.

Scientific management means, in its most simple and usual application, jthe mere thorough coupling of man to machines—usually fewer hands to more machines—a greater pro- duction due to this speeding up, and sometimes lower— relative wages. Booner or later the general discon- tent produced along with increased material products leads to more serious disturbances. Where decreased buying power by the masses accompanies such “scien- tific” excrescences the ultimate har- vest is a setback for industry gener- ally. In the long run industry can- not enjoy maximum prosperity when the massss of the population are deficient in the power to purchase its products. Curiously enough, this system is the apotheosis of the distinctly American system of increasing out- put per worker accompanied by a proportionate increase in wages, or buying power. This is the Ford sys- tem, and the one adopted in various big industries that can be regarded as setting the pace for others and | the world. But even a cursory glance over the fleld must lead to the in- evitable conclusion that they are still in the minority. Mass produc- tion, accompanied by-a proportion- ate increase in the wages of the in- dividual worker, spells advance and increased prosperity; but mass pro- duction like most of the so-called scientific management experts prom- ise and perform, with no increased wages and often resulting in de- creased returns, is a blight upon the advance of industry and probably, if generally followed out, can net do otherwise than lead to social diffi- culties. It is this system to which Dr. Bell referred; and which other high- minded men, who think in terms of the social and economic well-being of the American people in the future as well as in the present, have just- ly excoriated.

That is simple and sounds plausiblie, Fundamentally, the idea is in continual operation; but what causes the bulk of investors to conclude how much they care to pay for a stock?

After a delay of perhaps threc minutes the car procecded on its way. When asked for his fare the own- er o’ the sack tendered a halfpen- ny. The conductor explained that the lowest fare was a penny and that the halfpenny fares had been aban- doned ten years ago. A very long argument ensued but in the mean- time the car was proceeding on fts way. Ultimately the old man said he wouldn't pay a penny—he would ather walk first! ; : 5 So the car was stopped.

Whelp Grimalkin, the 8porting Millionaire, died last Win- ter, he left every penny to charity. To hia estranged son, Jack, he sar- castically bequeathed his kennel of Flying-Fish. Never having won a single race, these fish were the laughing stock of sporting circles. “Take 'em and eat ‘em,” read the will. The penniless youth considered the proposition with care. True, here were enough fish to feed him the rest of his life, but as his fath- er bequeathed no caper sauce to go with them, Jack chose the only other alternative, He would train these doubtful fish to race and win! A consultation of scientists infor him that their sluggish- ness was due to over-exposure to the sun when they flew. 80 Jack promptiy had each fish fitted out with an awnin, Thus sheltered from the garish heat, the flying fish regained their strength. Their recent winnings have made Jack twice as rich as his old man. « o 0 Like race-horses. racing fish must be humored if you want them to win.

He was unsparing in his condemnation, giving the public a document which contains meat for serious thought. Coming ‘on the heels of the an- nouncement that many of New Brit- ain's most prominent men are inter- ested in the repeal of the prohibi- tion laws, zt has greater force than it It were lasued n isolated ex. preasion of opinion from a man in office. Prohibition is a will o' the wisp. It is being enforced, so the country i told, but always in some locality far distant. Like so many patent medicine testimonials, it never seems to strike near home. Pronunciamentos are iasued fre- quently from official circles explain- ing that the law is being pushed 10 the hilt but the pushers appear to become fatigued and the pushing ceases. The majority of states have cooperative enforcement laws but slight effort is made to enforce them. Came the Jones law which, according to enthusiastic legal bi- ologists, had teeth in it. The result was a temporary increase in the price of liquors in large cities. A few bootleggers have been sentenced to prison but the big fellows con- tinue to laugh and count their prof- its. Leaks along the coastlines and the Canadian border make the coun- try look like a sieve. The border patrol is unable to cope with the situation because of insufficient numbers. The coast guard is in & simillar predicament. A flood 'of booze, good and bad, is pouring over the rim of the country. Prohibition s almost certain to be an important issue in the next political campaign. Enforcement or repeal will no doubt appear in the platforms although the enforcement plank is usually se disguised that no direct reference is made to pro- hibitfon. With sanctimonious faces, the platform committee usually goes through the motions of . deploring the nationwide disrespect for law and pledges the party to upholding the statutes. It is not. unlikely that the demo- cratic party will have courage enough to declare for the repeal of the law which, Mayor Paonessa said, cannot be enforced. If that be the case it is pomsible that the name of New Britain's chief executive will appear on the state ticket. His being in the fleld first would give him a certain amount of prestige {which the leaders may recognize. Hospital Site Selection Victory for Local Legion The fight to have the United Vet- erans’ ‘hospital located near Hart- ford is a signal victory for the Ed- dy-Glover post, American Legion, the memberg of which were untir- ing in their efforts to have it near the largest American Legion post in the state. At the preliminary hearings Washington, the state Legionnai argued for the hospital to be locat. ed in the central part of the. state. It was pointed out to the sub-com- mittee in charge of a location that New Britain had the largest Ameri- can Legion post in the state and would be in a position to Visit' the wounded veterans and cheer them up. After a stift fight on the part of the Rhode Island Legionnaires, it was decided to have the hospital within the radius of 1 miles of Hartford. Then appeared a split in the state Legion led by National Vice Com- mander Edward White to have the hospital near New Haven so that the veterans could have the advan- tage of the Yale Medical school. New Haven county Legionnaires rallied to his aide which caused the Hartford county men untold anxiety, with the result that one of the strongest lobbies in years appeared at the last session of the legislature. Senator Roy Wilcox, Representa- tives Rex DeLacouer, Kenneth Cra- mer and Thure Bengtson were ap- proached by Chairman Harry Gins. burg of the le tive committee &f the American Legion in Hartford county’s plan to have the decision of the United States congress stand. Paige Seaton, state commander of the Legion interested himself, say- ing that It Connecticut Legionnaires fought the hospital would be taken to Rhode Island. The arguments advanced, backed up by DeLacouer who was on the original committee that went to Washington and a member of the down state Legion, won out rapidly witnessing the dwindling of the White forces, and culminating with the signing of the original recommendation by Presi- in A Litde Novel of Italy!

Enthusiasm Minus Facts Dims Chance of Airport Enthusiasm for a ‘publie im- provement s & splendid aaset. Without enthusiasm to support it no project goes far toward the goal. But enthusiasm alone is of doubt- | ful value, This is written for the benefit of citizens, old and young, who would like to see an airport constructed in this city. At a recent myting at which the proposition was dis. cussed, advocates bubbled over with enthusiasm. They knew in their hearts, they said, that New Britain needed an airport. They said this over and over. But they had few facts to back up their assertions. As a result, the meeting developed into a poliyanna convention at which high spirits held sway.: The Observer is red hot for an airport aithough he is one of those one-foot-on-the-ground filera. In or- der to compete with cities which have facilities for landing planes, this community must some day set aside and develop a fleld for that purpose. But first, facts must be brought to light which will prove the need. The situation must be studied. Investigators must learn to what uses a fleld could be put and to what extent it would he used for commercial purpodes. An anal explaining the benefits to be de. rived should be prepared and pre- sented to the proper authorities. Several persons who attended the recent meeting expressed disap- pointment because they heard no facts to suport the enthusiasm. It was unfortunate that the com- mon council was not represented at the meeting by a larger quota of its members. Only three who have seats in the law making body attended. Criticism of the absentees has been heard frequently since then, Members who remained away will probably be the first to com- plain, when the airport projects eventually reaches the council, that they lack information on the sub- Ject. * | Wants to TLearn English To Read Baseball Scores The inducements for an education may be many and varied, but in the entire career of James E. O'Brien, director of evening schools, or more familiarly known as Ameri- canization Director, there probably never has entered a more unique reason for the need of an education than one submitted at the last meet- ing of the board of park comml sioners. The reason was advanced during a discussion of baseball playing at Washington Park. Rince the com- mission has developed & new base- ball diamond on this park thére has sprung up a rivalvy between two teams for the use of the diamond. The decision of the park board ‘ll to who shall use the diamond 'is based somewhat on which team is the greater drawing card, since the commissioners feel their only in- terest lies in supporting a feature that appeals to the majority. In stating his case the manager of one of the teams calmly told the commission last Tuesday evening that in the northern section of the city there lives a woman who never before has'evinced any desire to develop familiarity with the printed word, either in English or her native tongue, Politics, government, current events, social, business and even police and crime news meant nothing in her life. 8he lived within her own limited circle and was satisfied. Then the park department built a baseball field in that neighborhood. The woman has a son, and like all mothers, she is extremely interested in Ner son's activities and interests. The son became a baseball en- thusiast and a player of no mean ability. He became an expert player and thus the talk of the neighborhood. Things were going on with which the mother found she was more or less unfamiliar. Now she ja learning to read Eng- lish and her chiet reason, she states is because she wants te know how to read the box scores in the Herald.

Then a 'fire broke out in the houss next door. Some one broke into the Crandall home, thinking it unoccupied d used a telephone to call the fire partment. There were cries “Fire!” in the neighborhoed. Other- neighbors gathered and formed a bucket brigade. A fire truck or two drove up to the house and started to pump. Other neighpors carried out the furniture. The fire was extinguished. The furniture was replaced. The fire truck or two drove off and the neighberhood was stilled. 3 But the park _superintendent, slightly disturbed by annoying noises in the neighborhood, slept restiessly on. 25 Vears Ago Tod Tt is proposed to form a club of automebile and motorcycle driver im this city. The object would be to pro- mote the intelligent use of vehicleg for pleasure and business purposes, to seek road improvements on the main highways, to ceoperate with the authorities in seeing that speed laws are observed, and to maintain signs alony the roadways. The com- ‘mittee in charge consists of H. 8. Hart, W. L. Hatch and W. H. well, three of the most enthusiastie automobile owners in the city. The New Britain post affice has reached another milepost, for on June 1 it was found that the receipts were $50 ahead of the Meriden of- fice.
