THE GAIN FROn REGULATION

1 mr. b9IR EhOh KEGt LAIIoN.
President Brown of the New York
Central Railroad testifies as follows III
his annual report to what has been, upon
the whole, the one marked gain from
public regulation:
The relations of the road with its pa
irons and the communities served by II
have been harmonious and pleasant. This
mutually satisfactory condition has
been fostered and encouraged by the eff
forts Of the Public Services Commission
/ in New York State and the Massachu-
sets Board of Railroad commissioners
in composing and adjusting differences
which, handled with less wisdom and
moderation. might have resulted in Sc
rious friction and controversy. The in
fluence and the cooperation of these
commissions have been uniformly bene-
/ fetal to the road ana have done much
to improve the service for the public.
There is little question that every
where in this state the relations between
the public and the public service corpora
lions have been vastly improved since
the passage of the Public Service COM
missions legislation. If the railroads
have any perception OF the value If
dwelling in amity with their patrons
they will be the last TO wish 10 see this
legislation repealed. An era of good
feeling has been promot" without the
inhiction of any hardship upon the cor
pOratiOns. Fares and freight charges
have not been altered except in minor
cases. UnimpOrtant differences have
been adjusted. Even in this city, where
nothing Of great moment could be ac-
complished from the nature of the cir
cumstances for ameliOration of cOndi-
tons, Il great change has been brought
about in the temper of the public. and
in that of the public service managers,
too. The gain is mostly psychological;
but, then. the gravest phase of the pre-
viOus situation was also mostly psy-

SUBWAY TRAVEL

Mr. Hedley'S request that the public
cooperate with the InterbOrough com
pany in shortening the stops of subway
trains is reasonable and ii deserves Il
ready response. The InterborOugh man
agement is perhaps worthy of 10 more
consideration than it has shown its pa
irons. but they Will probably find it to
their own interest 10 comply with Mr..
Hedley's suggestions.
Many persons are now in the habit IF
walking along the station platforms so
as 10 board either the front or rear car
tOf IN express, but the distribution Of
passengers is not yet uniform. Rarely
are the end cars as crowded rs the
Others. Another sensible bit OF advice
is TO wait for the next train when the
first is exceptionally full. Trying TO jam
into cars whose veStibueS are 50
packed that the doors can scarcely be
closed involves needless delays. 1t Is
: impossible 10 start a train promptly
under such circumstances, and at every
subsequent stop time must be wasted III
both discharging and taking on pasSen-
gers. 1t is the public which is chiefly
10 some extent the public can apply the
proper remedy. Besides, it not infre-
quently happens that by waiting two
or three minutes in rush hours standing
room can be found. if not seat.
\ little patience is thus rewarded. 1t
Will also prove advantageous 10 Keep
the side doors in mind and be prepared
to use them. though not many ears have
been SO equipped rs yet.
At last accounts from eight hundred
thousand 10 q million persons were
travelling daily in Il subway said to have
been Intended for only four hundred and
fifty thousand As this remarkable
growth in traffic has been gradual, and
not abrupt. il should have been observed
by the marlborough company. Not to
have met the emergency better is dis
cTeditabIe, hut that is no reason why
passengers should not Go what they
Can to help themselves.

THE WOODEN NUTMEG TALE.
It Belongs with the Mendacious Blue
Law Myth

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: William Sheafa Chase's account of
the blue laws of Connecticut, which APP
peared in The Tribune of Sunday last, is
true in every respect as l can vouch from
personal knowledge, having made thor
ough study of the statutes of Connecticut
some years ago while writing history of
Middlesex County (my native county,,
Conn. l have seen the work of j. Ham
mond Trum0ull, to which he refers. There
We're what might be termed blue laws on
the statute. The Sunday laws We're not
half as rigid or severe as those of Massa-
chusetts. For instance, it was violation
of the law of Connecticut to drive faster
than 4 walk on Sunday, but in Massachu-
sets it was a punishable offence for man
to kiss his wife on Sunday, and in one of
the local histories of that state 1 read an
account of a sea captain who returned
from a three-years' voyage on Sunday and
was met by his wife at the door. where
they kissed each other as the people were
on the way to church. The wife was de-
nounced as bad woman and the husband
was severely punished.
The authorities of Connecticut were very
lenient in the enforcement of what were
known as the blue laws, and many of them
were a dead letter. Among the ordinances
adopted by the city of MfddIetown was: IF
any man shall be found smoaking in the
streets he shall pay a fine of one dollar l
found no account of any arrests being
made under this ordinance.
Connecticut from very early period has
been known as the land of steady
habits" y man named Nichols, who
erected the first Sallows in Newark, in
1923, says he came from the land of
steady habits" From my earliest child
hood I have heard Connecticut referred TO
as the land of steady habits and wooden
nutmegs." This is another asperSion on
my native state that has no foundation in
fact I had n lengthy interview with the
state librarian, who informed me that he
had never been able to find out when or
where the term, as applied to the state,
originated, but he was certain that there
never was n wooden nutmeg manufactured
in the colony or state.
Stopping at a little village called Cobalt,
in Middlesex County. one day l was in
formed by the first man l met that this
was the place where they made the wooden
nutmegs and wooden hams, and, pointing
to an old building a little distance off. he
said: There is the identical factory
where they made them" Every man in
the village that L talked with reiterated
the same statement. IN order To get at
the truth [ repeated it to various persons
| met throughout the county, and one day
/ met an old man seventy-Odd years old,
who, I found, was native OF Cobalt, and
related TO him my discovery. Said he:
II worked in that factory when I was Il
boy. soon after it was erected, and / never
saw or heard of a wooden nutmeg or
wooden ham"
