This would be something with justice in it for a politician to take up. The main trouble about that phrase, “insulting the intelligence,” was that Mr. King reached for it first. The pool at Willow Brook park, it appears, will join the pool in Wal- nut Hill park and the thousands of tubs in the city in providing en- chanting entertainment during the het spell. It seems probable that the stow- away will not see as much of France as he expected. He will come back with the information that even a tourist sees more of the country. New Zealand had its earthquake, while New Britain has its word- quake. From what we can gather about it, somebody was fearfully shocked at seeing boys in bathing at Doerr's pond without bathing suits. The same shock can be secured almost any warm day by taking a trip in a raliroad coach and Keeping an eye on the brooks and ponds scattered along the track. Playing a round of golf under a hot sun, we should say, is hot sport. Councilman Nelson will get the unqualified support of every restau- rant proprietor in his fight to do away wl'!h lunch carts. THE LATEST TURN IN THE GASOLINE WAR Judge Yeomans of Superior court placed his finger on the weakness of the Franklin square anti-gasoline station crusade, as many an observer feared and anticipated. The weak- ness is that the striction against the | gasoline station in this industrial zone is more stringent than the re- strictlon in business zones. The re- maining question then is, has the Common Council the power to make such a differentiation when public opinion in the industrial zone de- mands it? Judge Yeomans says it hasn't. Unless the case is appealed, the Standard Oil has won. In case of appeal there is likely to be a delay of another year before the final de- termination. With the square dominated by churches, residences, and the high school at one end, it was denomin- ated an industrial zone. If the anti- gasoline forces lose in case of appeal the fault will be with the way the territory was zoned. TRYING TO LOCATE THE NEED routes of airplanes. It is no trick at all for an aviator, if something goes wrong with the engines en route, to glide down to an airport which may happen to be only a few miles away. It is a much more difficult under- taking to woo a safe landing, how- ever, if the nearest airport happens to be 30 or 40 miles away. The chances are he could not reach it, and would be compelled to essay a forced landing in a fleld, with its consequent dangers. That is one ad- vantage of. having plenty of air- ports, and if the time comes, as is likely, when there will be ten times the number of airplanes abroad as happens to be the case at present, Opposition to providing airports as safety measures hinges largely .upon the claim that it is not the duty of a municipality to provide an emergency fleld for the benefit of a few stray aviators who may in the course of years happen to get into trouble near the municipality. This opposition is based, too, upon the claim that a municipality is put to much expense if this is to be the only or main advantage of possessing an airport. Probably that would be true, but there fortunately are other reasons. The chief other reason is that if aviation is to develop to many times |av iators or flying citizens in practi- i cally every town. It is just as logical to furnish them with airports as ft is to furnish autoists with good in the early history of the develop- ment of the automobiles, where there was widespread opposition in the rural districts to providing good roads for city slickers in automo- | biles. This opposition was very pro- inounced, too; but it vanished when the automobile began to be utilized in the rural sections as whole- heartedly if not more so than in the cities. A somewhat similar situation exists today in connection with air- ports. Some municipalities are oppos- ed to the capital investment on the score that it would be furnishing a convenience for a comparatively few people using airplanes, either for pleasure or business. Under present conditions there is force to this argument—just as there was force to the argument of rural residents years ago against paying rn - good roads for city slickera. Bul what if the conditions change? When there are ten or twenty times the present number of airplanes in use there certainly will be a need for that many more times the number of available airports, both for the con- venience of those utilizing the air machines and for their safety. The thing that really would make the investment in an airport super- fluous would be a standstill of avi- ation, Even the number of planes in use at present need more ‘nlrportl: but assuming that they can worry along with the present number, does that necessarily mean that there will be not many more in use in the fu- ture? The tendency is altogether toward their more widespread use. And the main thing that holds back their further popularity is the com- parative paucity of airports. When one sees the increasing number of advertisements to encourage the purchase of airplanes one cannot help coming to the conclusion that the aviation industry is in its in- fancy; the infant, indeed, is just learning to crawl and will soon meed more room to get about in. There are other reasons might be mentioned. And one thing that seems certain to us is that New Britain will in due time be one of the cities with an airport. It may not come this year or next, but in the long run this city will not be among the permanent doubting Thomases. !AN ODE TO NEW PAVI IN WALNUT HILL PARK Having noted no hallyhoo about the newly paved main driveways in Walnut Hill park, we feel inclined to | its present proportions, there will be | roads. One well remembers the time, ' that | ON BEING SUPER-PATRIOTIO A genuine patriot does net need to parade his patriotism like he would his honesty. Both are taken for granted virtues in the normal American. The persons who would form an ‘honesty society” would be laughed to scorn; but there is less of a disposition to measure a so-called “patriotic society” with the same yardstick. Ninety-nine out of 100 citizens, if not 999 out of every 1,000, are not affiliated with any patriotic society, yet these who attend to their own business and think well of their country in thelr own way could not be regarded as unpatriotic. ‘That the patriotic business is vast- ly overdone and in some instances is a mask for the propagation of re- actionary principles was brought home to the genuinely patriotic citi- zenship of Boston the other day when ‘about 100 leaders of Massa- chusetts patriotic societies” met there and were addressed by the woman editor of The Woman Patriot, a publication which appar. ently makes a business of what is understood as patriotism in such circles. Here is a paragraph of the news report of the proceedings as pub- lished in the Boston Herald: “Speaking of bills now before | Congress, she urged all to oppose the old age pension billsthe rural education bill, the bill for child re- .lief during strikes and unemploy- | ment, the bill to send $260,000,000 to China to relieve famine, the bill ) Which seeks to house woman govern- ment employes in Washington, and the various maternity bills. 8he de- described all this legislation as ‘so- cialistic.” " Most of the proposed legislation constitutes idealistic principles furthered by as good patriots—if not better patriots—than those represented in the ranks of the so- cieties the woman editor addressed. Th old age pension bill, already adopted as state measures by four states, is the pet thesis of the Fra- ternal Order of Eagles. The Eagles have given no evidence of being un- | patriotic. The rural education bill is favored by millions of women in the rural districts, and they are patriotic, believing that what uplifts the national inteiligence is worthy of support. The child relief bill is a humanitarian measure favored by all social workers and those who believe that innocent children should not be made to suffer needlessly during periods of strife. The Chinese relief bill is the essence of Christianity, but according to these super-patriots, ia unpatriotic. Improved housing of women government employes is a moral issue and would tend to pre- vent the exploitation of women by unscrupulous landlords in Washing- ton. And so on. Buch super-patriotic organizations are consistently anti-radical to tue point where it becomes humorous. The radical bogie never wears out in such an environment. Somebody is always saying that the bolsheviks are getting numerous and threaten the patriots. Fortunately such sena- tors as Borah, Norris and others who amount to something in Wash- ington never pay the slightest atten- tion to super-patriots or professional patriots. Of course, it may be explained that there is room for all kinds of fanatics in this world, and that the varlous sorts pretty thoroughly bal- belief that genuine patriotism, like the verities, should be taken more tor granted. and that excessive declarations on the subject lead to the inevitable suspicion that some- thing is being masked under the cloak.

They FOR A CITY AIRPORT It was stated some time ago that men who have the progress of the city next to their hearts met to dis- cuss the airport project. Everyone agreed as to the desirability of the city possessing an airport, but when it was found advisable to list the “undoubted advantages” of such a port the conversation lagged. No one. it seemid. had a straightforward idea as to the definite desirability of the airport based on its probable use by aviators. That, of course, is a hard nut to crack. Listing the advantages of an airport in a city of this size iz like attempting to discover the advan- tage of possessing a municipal audi- torium, an astronomical observatory, | or a fish hatchery. Some of the ad- vantages are indefinite, illusory, or | defying analysis. Yet everyone feels that such advantages exist.
