CLUTTERING UP THE CENTER Once again officials at City Hall | are said to be considering the ad- visability of studying the down- town traffic situation, particularly with a view of alleviating the bus | and trolley nuisance. . Such studies have been made be- * fore, and there have been discus- sions and what not. No definite ac- tion has ever been taken as a result | of such verbal activities. When a new bus line is established it makes a terminal of the Center. When a large proportion of the bus lines and the trolley lines happen to be parked at the Center at the same time—which frequently happens— the place is thoroughly cluttered up. The same condition exists in Hart- ford, but not quite as bad. Some lines in the capital city actually have . terminals on side streets—a method that has been talked about in New Britain but never as yet accomplish- cd. City Hall, if it attempts to accom- plish this even partially, will run into the same old arguments. WOMEN INVESTORS It seems necessary once again to sound a warning. As in the case of previous warnings, they are directed toward women who permit mere male mining, oil and boloney factory promoters to relieve them of their money. Why is it that women, who nowa- , days are at least as intelligent as " men, 80 frequently permit themselves to be easy marks in financial mat- | ters? It may be most women has financial lines; possibly they do not read the financial pages of publica- tions with any degree of regularity, Dbeing more interested in womanly yielding them that the training of not been along more direct concern. There were the score or more of metallurgical companies in which the missing Charles V. Bob figured. An investigation showed that trust- ing women were the principal losers {n the ventures. Dob's salesmen, or perhaps Bob himself, must have had the personalities that appealed to women, And there was the Hartford wom- an who gladly contributed $110,- 000 to a smooth New York promot- er. The woman didn’t even know the gentleman’s first name; nor his right name, for that matter. After detec- tives stepped in just as the woman had another $100,000 in cold cash in a satchel they provided her with his rvight name and saved her from lianding over the extra $100,000. Recently in this city there have| been cases of women swindled— | but why bring that up; perhaps they want to forget it. Plenty of women, however, are s00d investors. We willingly concede | they arc greatly in the majority. That is because they deal with rep- utable firms, with reputable | brokers; and they are buy their stocks outright and first and women who make sure that the securities are g00d concerns. Some of the larges corporations of this country in have a large percentage of women stock- | holders on their It that some corporations have more | women stockliolders than men. That | is evidence that when not | deliberately fooled by designing men know how 1o invest their money. Which leads to the final note that rosters, is said | women Ucsigning men, be they troubadours love or er stock salesmen are prime trouble-makers n's lives. wom- FAST DRIVING Death of four irom New fast driving NIGHT young persons, the autonobile AT Britain re 0 of an at night again centers attention » danger that existed upon from the day itomobiles me common.

All of which has been said many times before, but needs repeat- ing. Restraint needs to be a passen- ger on automobiles driven in the dead of night. THE MOVIELESS TOWN At first blush the opinion would prevail that a town without a mov- ing pictyre backward or house s lamentably extraordinarily small. But not in all cases. The town of Brookline, Mass, one of the largest in the country and also reputed to be the wealthicst, to this day has had no moving picture house and it is not at all certain whether it will have one within this generation. Brookline is somewhat set in its ways. However, there will be another eclection on the issue in. November, thus giving the impression t democracy still prevails in the town, Referendums on the movie issue held before, the last, in in to 1 liave been 19 resulting a3 vote against. . Among those who have always op- | nosed the movie business in Brook- he educators and school with clergymen ably abetting them. The argument runs, or ran, that children with studies to line are teachers, pursue are distracted by going to the movies and that it is better not to have such a distraction in the town. Those who insist on going to theaters can take the short trip to Boston, is the claim. If this holds good in Brookline it | must hold good in every other city. So one comes to the fi factor, are Brookline more apt and better raised the children in in their studies than the children of parents in simi- lar circumstances of life clsewhere? One thing is certain in Brookline —they probably think they are. A “STUDY,” NOT “DATA" It may be that something more tangible than qrdinarily accrues from fact-finding commissions will result from the efforts of President Hoover's cabinet committee on un- ployment. Secretary of Labor Johu J. Davis, spokesman for the body, frankly announced as it prepared to meet that its function should be a “study” rather than merely another “enumeration.” That is in the direction of prog- ress. A statistical enumeration does rows of figures mean nothing unless definite action is taken to change their portent. It is a weakness of fact-finders that they invariably merely locate the facts and then leave action to some- body clse, provided the party of the second part finds time to do some- thing about the figures. Secretary Davis believes a “study" of the causes of the statistics which might be gathered is more to the point. Such a study at least would be one step further in the direction of ultimate amelioration; but the other steps likewise would have to be taken. The Sccretary utters a critical esti- mate of the causes, at lcast in part, of modern technological unemploy- ment, indicating that he himself has already done a bit of studying. He cites a few examples: The displace- ment of musicians throughout most of the theaters of the country by the talkics, the unloading of ships by and the construction and railroad tracks by tracklayer The Secretary might have enumerated at least 100 other “labor saving’ machines if he had the said the other day, machines of this conveyers, repair of devices. time; and as one economist type don’t buy shoes What men displaced nor do with the has consume to unquestionably | become a major problem in our in- | dustrial and cconomical ment.

A movement is on foot in England to raise his salary to $85,000 a year, and also to give the leader of the Opposition a salary in addition to the salary received a member of Parliament. It might be s&ld in extenuation of the relatively small salaries extend- ed to such world-famous men that salaries in England are smaller than in this country anyway. Yet there are thousands of big business execu- tives in England who receive many times the income of $25,000, and their responsibilities are slight in comparison with the responsibility of the Premier of England. It cannot be said that democracies. as rvants overly well. That The pay their s complaint, indeed, is not new. idea seems to be that a public offi- cial in a démocracy does well to live from the “honor” that goes with his post. Premier Ramsay MacDonald seems to be finding trouble in ma ing both ends of all this honor meet.

But because ¢ has just passed through one is not Norwa of its most remarkable of eclections, both as regards the public interest <en and the issues before the vot- it is worth anyone's time to take a glance at the result.

The issues were sharply drawn be- tween the aims of the Labor party, which advocated a Socialized state with higher taxation for the rich and extension of social benefits by state, to the conservative stand- the so-called right the the pat policics of parties. Setween the left parties—Labor, the Communists, etc.—and the right parties—the standpatters—there was considerable of a gulf. In the very middle stood the eficient administra- tion Premier Joh Mowinckel, which has not too cautious to move forward nor too ambitious {o stand still when thinking was re- of been quired before action was taken. The middle partics, those not con- servative and not socialized or radi- cal, won an overwhelming victory. Which indicates quite that the rank and file in Norway, as in clear! other intelligent countries, is not in- clined to move ahead more than a step at a time. But is willing to progress with caution and prudence as guides. TAKING THE GANGS FOR A RIDE The war on Chicago's gangland seems to be getting somewhere. As thoughtful persons all along have held, much of the Dbattle against gunmen depends upon the attitude of the judiciary, and to Judge John H. Lyle of 1go, a determined jurist who sees his duty and has the courage to do it, goes much of the credit for putting the fear of the law into the breasts of the denizens of the underworld, beer barons and racketeers generally. Judge Lyle is working a plan that Charging the crooks it easicr to.con- gets results. with vagrancy fin vict them than on any other charge requiring tomes of cvidence and pro- viding technicality loopholes.

(Copyright, Syndicate, COMMUNICATED Editor New Britain Herald: Our Heritage from Greece Because of the nation-wide ob- servance of the anniversary of Greek independence will you kindly publish the following in your paper: To mention our debt to Greece is to recall that the roots of our civili- zation have their origin in that an- cient civilization. But for Greece we should have neither our philosophy, nor our science, nor our religion, nor our education, nor politics The Greeks invented every known literary form: epic and lyric poetry. the epigram, the essay, the sermon, the novel, logic, drama, oratory. biology, historical literature, letter writing and literary criticism. Al were originated by the Greeks, also the Olympic games. Philosophy began with the Greek Thales about 585 R. C. Early phil- osophers/like Socrates, Plato and Pythagoras dealt exclusively with physics and natural philosophy. The fundamental work was done by 1930, MeNaught Inc.) Kuclid in geometry and astronomy,, me- Aris- by Archimedes in trigonometry, chanics and hydrostatics, totle in logic and biolog: by So- crates‘and Plato in physics and philosophy, by Hippocrates in hos- pital knowledge, by Herophilus in medicine, by Homer in, poetry, by Herodotus and Thucydides in his- tery, by Demosthenes in oratory, by Phidias and Proxiteies in sculpture, by Xenophon in the Anabasis, anil Memorabilis by Socrates, by Aeschy- lus in tragedy, by Sophocles in drama, by Aristophanes in comedy and by Solon in law. In architecture the Greeks also stand pre-eminent. The Parthenon was done and designed by two Greek architects, allicrates and Tctinus, and adorned by Phidias at the time of the Periclian Age. The New Testament was written in Greek and Christian minds of every age have been influenced by Gueek thought. St. Paul was a Greek scholar and wrote and spoke in Greek. While the Greek immigiation to America did not start until 1898, yet the Greek immigrant of yester- day plays an“¥mportant part in the commercial, social and political life in the land of his adoption. In 1867, Dr. Gridley Howe of Eoston sailed for Greece with other Americans to distribute $37,000 col- lected for the relief of war orphans, the result of the Cretan revolutioit against Turkey. These Americans adopted many orphan children and all of them later became useful citi- zens, namely Dr. Zachos, friend of Peter Cooper and curator of Cooper Unlon: Prof Sophocles, for 41 years Harvard's distinguished man of ‘let- ters; Congressman Lucas Miller, adopted son of Col. Jonathan Mill- er; Admiral Colvocoresis, who serv- ed his adopted country with distinc- tion in the navy. Dr. Wiley Howe brought back with him a young Greek student, Michael Anagnos, who later became his son-in-law and was the head of the Perkins Insti- tute!for the Blind and Deaf at Boston. Under his tutelage Helen Keller was educated. The American Hellenic Educa- tional Progressive association, hown &s the order of Ahepa, 4pends annually $200,000 for edu- cation and charity work to educate in America the Greek immigrants of yesterday and - impart to them ideals and traditions of America.
