It only requires such an accident as that which occurred in Central ave- nue, when a four-year-old was fatally injured, to bring nearer the time when sliding across electric car or railroad tracks must be stopped as a protection to life and limb, and as & reliet to those who are operating pub- lic utilities, Children always have enjoyved slid- ing and they always will and there| need be no disposition to put a stop to such pleasure in which older folks as well take keen delight but in the interests of safety, sliding should be forbidden on hills which lead across tracks where trolley and steam cars are in frequent operation. Norwich has many hills and it is unfortunate that the greatest pleasure seems to be found where the gre#test danger exists_ There is a wide province for the exer- cise of parental responsibility. The parents should have the greatest in- terest in restricting their children to hills which are reasonably safe, or free from such great dangers as elec- tric cars which cross the path of the coasters. Operate the cars as care- fully as they may there are circum- stances over which the motormen have no control and there is no more nerve- racking position during sliding time than the front platform of an electric car. From one end of the city to the other this danger prevails, and as sad and deplorable as the fatality is, the won- der is that many others have escaped just such horrible deaths. There should be warning enough therein to bring the dangerous practice to an end. The prohibition of such pleasure at these danger points is far preferable to death, A LENTEN POSSIBILITY. An important period in the church calendar is marked by the opening of Tent. It i1s a season for reflection and self denial for the better mastery of ourseives. It is a time for the elimination of unnecessary things in our lives as a test of self control and as a regulator of daily conduct. With | all the time that is devoted to worldly | things, recreation and pleasures, it is but proper that there should be a| time of abstinence not only for the better mppreciation of such things but for the deepening of our spiritual life and obtaining a better and firmer gtasp of cternal truth. Tt 1s a beneficial retreat from the hustle and bustle of the remaining eight-ninths of the year, and a time for applying discipline in the devotion of greater attention to the church, its werk and its mission. While it is of strictly religious significance the Lent- en respite apart from that returns huge dividends in renewed mental and physical vigor, With the TROREAIRHE tor Bettar shimch attendance receiving widespread atten- tion ead encouragement throughout the country, it will be surprising if Lent is not made the means to an end in following up and influencing this indi- vidual duty. church as has been aptly said “must | give her children, so far as she may, what they desire: but supremely and unfalteringly she must give them what they need!” The go to church agita- tion should get results from the urg- ing of church attendance at least through Lent, which could not help but be beneficial, to the individual as well as to church attendance. GEORGIA'S EXAMPLE. Every state which has not taken similer precaution has reason to profit Dby the foresight of the state of Georgia in comparison with that of Alabama, concerning the filling of vacancies in the United States senate in case of death. It was but recently that the appointee of the governor of Alabama was refused his seat In the upper house of congress because that state had taken no action under the new constitutional amendment calling for election of senators by the people, pro- viding for the filling of a vacant geat. Within a few weeks after that action, because of the death of Senator Bacon, (Geargla is confronted with en iden- tical situatipn, except, however, it Las provided by legislative snactment that in such 2 contingency the governor shall appoint until the next election by the people, The state of Georgia has taken ihe course which should be followed by every state in the union. It has defi- nitely determined, in anticipation of suek a possibility the mode of proce- dure uatil an -election can be held. This emergency provist interests of the state in congress and i ‘eral law, so that when the new sena tor ad interim from Georgia is ap- pointed, which will be soom, he will be Seated when he presemts his creden- tlals. It is often advantageous to de- fer such an important election for = ‘brief time, or until the regular time for holding the same, and in that re- spect Georgla has furnished an ex- ample for whatever states have falled to thus safeguard their ot Interests. 5 BECKER'S NEW TRIAL, It is a distressing outlook which is forced upon New York by the action of the court of appeals in granting a new trial to Becker, who had been found guilty of first degree murder in connection with the Rosenthal death. It s at the same time a terrific rebuke to the manner in which Justice Goff has conducted this as well as the other trials wherein the slayers of Rosen- thal were convictéd. It was the mas- terly manner in which he presided over those trials which brought a recogni- tion of the fact that justice was being administered to society and the ac- cused alike. It meant the end of old time methods axd delays, and the in- clination to get way beyond bounds by over-enthusiastic counsel and it was hoped by those who believed in the administration of justice, that it was to continue. The overcoming of the results of that trial and the ordering of a new trial for Becker after the long period which has elapsed since his comviction takes on a serious aspect when it is declared that no other trial may be held, because of the inability to se- cure the same witnesses. Even though the district attorney gives assurance that a new trial will be started if the case can now be properly presented, it is indicated that Becker has been given a mighty advantage. In view of such it is not strange that the methods and results of the English courts are so frequently referred to as examples of what justice courts should be. The impression that jus- tice was again getting a chance in New York has been severely jostled. TRY IT ON LAND FIRST. Every now and then enthusiasts proclaim their determimation to oper- ate a flying machine across the At- lantic and just at the present time there is a renewal of interest in such an undertaking. That it is filled with extraurdnxa v hazard is shown by the opinions given by some of the lead- ing aviators who are mot only thor- oughly familiar with flying, but have a knowledge of the comstruction and staying power of the machines and engines which qualifies them to speak with authority. It is reasonable to believe that the time when an aeroplane will be sent successfully across the ocean in the air is in the distant future. Great progress has been made in the -navi- gation of the air, but not enough to warrant the proposed undertaking in iew of the known dangers in over the sea flights and shortcomings in the present a machines. Until such dis- tances can be negotiated without the likelihood of accidents to the engine fiying across the ocean is foolhardy. Far better could the ambitions which are back of such effort to put to good use in the development of the aero- plane if they were devoted first to ne- gotiating such distances on land as would be required to cross the ocean. Such can be done without the danger attending ocean flight and when that has been successfully accomplished time and again it will be well enough to think of discarding such safeguard as a convenient place to land should occasion require. It is wiser to make a tryout on land first. EDITORIAL NOTES.

I get asked to just as many partles as the other ‘h’ll and I have just as mugch candy sent me!” “If youd throw away the candy it ‘would be better for you,” said Hester's mother who was the chief worrier. “Think how much better looking you would be If you were slender!™ “T'd block the streets and cause riots it I were any handsomer,” vowed Hes- ter, airfly. “Why bother about it?

Purely by accident Hester overheard the remark that Ned Pratt made at a meeting of their card club. “No,” he said, distinctly, “a woman cannot be beautiful and tttractive—to me at 1 unless she is graceful and slim! That's the first requisite!” Instantly Hester was smitten with the knowledge that above all things on earth _she wanted to be attractive to Ned Pratt. In fact, she had thought she was. For he had been coming around pretty frequently to see her. It was a blow to find he had not come because of her overpowering charm. Evidently he had just been killing time. WATCH YOUR STEP!

Instead of jol- 1y, laughing Hester he was treated to Hester in all sorts of moods, ranging from cross to sarcastically gay. The sarcasm grew when after three weeks of stern self denlal in food Hester found she had not lost an ounce. Bitterness entered her soul. She was destined to be a fat woman and a fat woman she might as well determ- ine to be. She hated Ned Pratt, any- | how!

Fierce- | 1y she told herself she didn't want to— and then she cut off another starchy | article of diet. | “I am glad y/ 4 have grown sensible,” her mother said, approvingly. Hester handed over a -newly arrived box of candy to her thin younger sister. “Oh, it was only from Ned,” Hes- {er sald cruelly. “I don't care about Secretly every box of confectionery Ned sent made her furious.

One evening he revealed the, reason. He told her that he knew she | cared nothing for him because she had | plainly shown it, but that he simply hadn’t been able to go away and try to forget her. He wanted her to know at least, that he loved her to distrac- tion and that life without her would be_a desert. When he finished stammering out these remarks Hester regarded him in such astonishment that she forgot to | display such emotion as the scene de- manded. “Why,” she also stammered, “why, you said—I heard you say it!— | you said once that you hated f—f—fat | Wwomen—that they weren’t attractive at all or good looking or—or anything! I never dr-dreamed that you liked me. “But you aren’t fat” Ned Pratt re- plied in astonishment “You—you're perfectly beautiful, Hester! Then it dawned on Hester that love is indeed blind and she smiled at him just as though she were angelically thin. “I don’t see how you ever got the idea, I—I didn't like you!” she said conversationally—Chicago News.
