CITY ACTS SWIFTLY The emergency being present, the city will need $100,000, which will be paid off during five years through the medium of a special tax. The emergency is one that every citizen knows must be solved. No criticisms have been made against the plan; nobody would have the nerve to utter a criticism. New Britain is forehanded in this matter, and is a little ahead of some of her larger brethren. News dis- patches from throughout the land indicate that numerous cities of prominence are just beginning to grapple with the unemployment problem, and all of them are deal- ing i big figures. The belief that conditions have been worse in this hardware capital than in some other industrial cities is not borne out by dispatches. Al- though there is no way of coming to a conclusion except through guess- work, a careful reading of news in- dicating what other cities are plan- ning te do indicates that New Brit- ain has no monopoly upon unem- ployment, to put it mildly. The worst conditions arc in the biggest cities. EXAMINING THE SUN'S CROWN Once again scientists have had an opportunity to observe and photo- graph the corona of Old Sun, but this time they have had to travel quite a distance into the South Seas to obtain the cherished observations. Niuafou Island, in the South Pacific, has an extent of only ten square miles, including a lake in its center; and the. thousand persons living | there are ‘not interested in civiliza- tion as we know it. Surrounded by coral reefs, and receiving mail once a month from a passing steamer Which throws it overboard in a tin can and receives mail in the same way, it is the “tin can island” among mariners. To this out-of-the-way place, 300 miles south of the Hawaiian Islands, it was nature's trick to give the natives and such scientists as could crowd upon it an opportunity to see the totality. We are reminded, the time within New Britain was in the pathway of the total eclipse, and the awe with which we took in the show on that bitter cold January morning. At that time scientists took myriads of pic- tures, and so did the lay public; and we learned that much of value might be learncd from the photographs. Naturally we pause to inquire, just how much of value was learned? Scientists are “chasing after eclipses” whenever they occur, and no distance is too far-to travel for these zestful seekers after new in- formation. By this time the knowl- edge about the about the corona, found. We may be wrong, but we'll bet a thimbleful of lime juice that a large part of the scientists enjoy the far- away trips as much as they do the views of the sun's crown. eclipse in o course, of sun, particularly should be pro- THE PIGGERY SITUATION According to the Board of Healih, nobody can run a piggery in the city without certain distasteful con- comitants. At present the city's gar- bage is collected by a man operating @ piggery in the Farmington avenue sectlon; he feeds the garbage fo the pigs and they wax fat. Pigs ate not particular what they cat There must be money in the busi- ness, oo, seeing that the renewal of the contract is necessary and there is at least one thusiast in the other piggery en- fleld. This second firm, it is said, has obtained off Corbin avenuec and would give the pigs a break in that section. And there may be ambitions. All of this could be course, if the city had a modern garbage incinerating plant. But that and the city ad- land others with similar prevented, of would cost money, ministration is in & mood to money rather than expend it. even it the capital improvements. Some day the city will b its incincrator save expenditure i3 for acquiring ve to get regardless the cost. This business of operating pig- geries cannot go on indefinitely. ot The recent years when system is that operating a piggery within the city limits is better than attempting to dump city garbage within the territory of surrounding towns. A piggery, at least, is a home industry. i PIPING WATER TO EAST BERLIN According to law made and pro- vided, any town near a city possess- ing a watershed has the right to ob- tain water from that city. Thus New Britain supplies Berlin and Kensing- ton, this having been done after those two towns provided themselves with the necessary mains and con- nections with the New Britain sup- ply. 5 East Berlin, however, has been a little further away, and though East Berlin also has the privilege of en- joying New Britain's water, the question of building a connecting pipe line is a function of East Ber- lin, under normal circumstances. It is a case simply of New Brit- ain having the water if the towns are willing to supply the pipes. This done, then the towns pay a reason- able price for the water. Down in East Berlin is the Stanley Chemical Co.. a subsidiary of the Stanley Works in New Britain. The chemical company needs city water. Tts presence in East Berlin no doubt is an asset to the community. If the Stanley Chemical company does not obtain water from New Britain, or cannot obtain it merely because there is no connecting pipe line, the company might sue the city for destroying the value of the water in the Mattabesett river, which, it is claimed, is due to the city's sewer disposal ‘“system” in East Berlin. It is hard {o imagine the Stanley company, at least one official of which {8 well identified with Con- necticut politics, bringing suit aganst the city over such a matter and thus running counter to public opinion, which would naturally fav- or the city. But that is the story. To avoid this possibility of a law- suit, it is said, the city administra- tion is willing to construct the con- necting pipe line to East Berlin, primarily for the chemical company and incidentally making it possible, perhaps, for other citizens there to obtain New Britain mater. This, we take it, i§ another ex- ample of business being mixed with politics. Why not come out frankly and lay all the cards on the table, saying in effect that the chemical concern is entitled to water and that it has enough political infiuence to obtain it? That is what it amounts to. QUERYING EDITORS Amos W. W. Woodcock, federa! prohibition chieftain, had a grand idea about a week ago and forth- with 3,000 questionnaires went into the mails from the department di- rected at the innocent cditors of the country relative to their stand on the prohibition question. Then another grand idea was evolved, this time that the question- naire might be misconstrued and n\|s;u|!erpre!t‘,d; and other letters went forth to ignore the question- naire. Thus this latest effort at addition- al fact-finding goes by the boards. What cditors think about prohi- bition might have some bearing on prohibition enforcement, although we fail to see just how. It seems to us, by the way, that in this prohibi- tion mess there have been more at- tempts at finding facts than in en- forcing the law. Querying editors has some weak points. The drys probably have the most newspapers of small circula- tion, while the wets have the ma- Jjority of large circulation. There are thousands of small weekly new'spapers in the rural regions, all mostly local in character and telling all about the doings of local resi- dents. They incline toward prohibi- | tion almost 1o an editor. The city newspapers, far in the minority as to numbers but far in the majority as to circulation, incline toward wet- ness. Mr. Woodcock's original would resulted in a majority of editors favering prohi- bition; but the total of readers represented probably would have shown a large wet majority. Tt so happens, however, that thou. scheme have sands of wet readers read dry papers and thousands of dry readers read wet papers. this about. Local conditions bring Wet papers in Connecti- cut, for instance. representing a pre- ponderatingly read by dry readers because nothing else to do. reason wet constituency, are there is if for no other Similarly dry newspapers in Kansas must he read by such wet readers as exist monwcalth Mr. Woodcock's questionnaire, therefore, would have resylted in the in that dry com- worst mixed up returns ever devised He himself admits his hindsight was | far better than his foresight. BEING WELL TONED UP Our indefatigable J. Dumont, to fight off a the curious fall weather that New health adminis- trator, Dr. I tells us that the way sease in filicts Bugland is to keep the body well toned up o that it can adjust itself readily 1o the changes in tem Th erature ought to be How only thing that can be said for the P2 simple | simple it is i3 indicated by the num- Ler of persons who suffer from colds and other sundry afflictions when- cver the weather twists and turns and gyrates. The health minister incidentally cxplained his thesis with a long and first rate array of information on how to stay well in spite of what is known as weather. We have no doubt these rules are perfectly de- signed to achieve their objective; yet we have known of physicians who suffered from colds and other com- mon ailments along with the re- mainder of us. The rules and regulations as they appeared in the paper are good; we have no doubt of that, not being a doctor. We intend to make a strong cffort to obey them, just to keep well, if for no other reason. We sug- gest that all readers, including mem- bers of the medical profession, do the same. , e HOOVER FOR PINCHOT? That was a sudden turn in Penn- Ilvania's hectic politics having to do with Gifford Pinchot's statement that President Hoover stands for the clection of the entire Republican ticket in the state, including of course, Mr. Pinchot. Secretary James J. Davis, cabinel member and senatorial nominee in | the state, says, however, he has heard of no such blanket endorse- ment from the President. It is a pretty kettle of fish all around. In ordirfary times the Presi- dent might be expected to tacitly en- dorse any Republican ticket any- where, but many Republican chief- tains in Pennsylvania, notably in Philadelphia, have swarmed away from the Pinchot candidacy, so that an endorsgment of Pinchot by the President would tend to make these chieftains rather peeved. That there is some possibility that Mr. Pinchot is right can be gathered from the fact that Secretary Mellon, boss of the Pittsburgh district re- publicanism, favors Mr. Pinchot. This family quarrel among Penn- lvania Republicans is likely to last much longer than the election HARD LUCK IN NEW LONDON For years New London has been attempting to make itself into a dif- ferent kind of city than the general runy throughout Connecticut. Instead of being a manufacturing city it would be one of a higher class. 1t would be a combination summer re- sort and naval base. When tourists were few during the winter it would be able to rely upon the spending power of thousands of naval men affiliated with the naval base. Inci- dentally, it would be a high class rcsidence city, a large part of its population enjoying incomes from the spendings of thc naval men. Comes a blow from Washington, however, which in one full sweep transfers 2,000 naval men to other climes. The blow has hit New Lon- don amidships, to use a more or less whaling term, and even Governor Trumbull has been utilized to protest to the naval authorities. Such pro: p tests, it secms, have been in vain. The last recourse is an appeal to President Hoover himself. Nutmeggers will sympathize with New London and trust that the bu- reau chieftaing in Washington will mend theig ways and keep the naval base at New London intact. As a submarine Dbase New London is superior to any port along the At- lantic coast. Why change? New London's cfforts to be a “high class city,” however, has little to commend it. The risks of such an enterprise are too great. Tourists will arrive each summer, to utilize New London as a base of operations against the Sound; but when winter prosperity ig entirely in the hands of Washington officials what has hap- pened is always a probability. CLAIMING THINGS IN BRAZIL No election campaign is under way in Brazil; but one would think 80 from the diverse claims made by the Brazilian government and the rebels.

A make-shift, of course, for truly rural beauty and solitude, but every hour it is dotted with harassed city dwellers seeking escape from the ircoberent clatter all about them. This breathing spot rib-near the pulsing heart of the town is the only place remaining for leisurely strolls and studied contemplation. Five minutes from the stirring jan- gle of Columbus Circle one comes upon a milk-and-liver-colored cow chewing a cud of bovine content« ment. A short space further on and a eghepherd with a magnificent snowy collie stands under a tree watching sheep grazing and flicking their tails. Ladies with tiny sun parasols jog by in horse drawn landaus with a patrician pomp. Old men under spreading umbrellas swing croquet mallets on the greensward. Along the Mall children of the rich ride on rented Shetlands or in goat-pulled carts. Squirrels scamper through the foliage, and tucked here and there are martin boxes and whitewashed dove cotes. IElderly lzdies in silk hats gallop side saddle alongside youngsters astride in blcomers. On cool, murmurous paths slitting the beautiful Shakesperean flower gardens are benches for hand hold- ers, and one sequestered spot, whera discreet policemen walk by scanning the clouds, is known as “Lover's Lane.” TIn the moonlight, gleaming ashen is the Igyptian obelisk— fashioned before the birth of the Saviour. Painters perch on grassy knolls and in the crags of rocky cliffs to imprison the beauty of skylines on canvas. And frequently stretched out on the grass is a poet with lony hair and Byronic collar, nibbling at the end of a lead pencil. Dreaming a deathless clegy. After midnight, when Broadway's clectric swagger grows dim, Central Fark is breathless in a hushed rap- ture. There is a tender gravi about the trees, fugitive paths and the pale lamps strung like so many beads about shadowy lawns. At such times many feel very near the unsolvable mystery. —00— Charlie Towne used to tell of u movie actor strolling in Central Park with a chorus lady at the en- francing hour when the moon had hung a slight scimitar in the sky and the swirling stars shimmered in lacey loveliness. “Say baby,” he chirped, “vou should see Hollywood, where all this junk comes from.” e It was Col.
