New London County Fair

Secretary Charles b. Greenman Of the Norwich fair, to be held this year on Labor Day and the two days fol- lowing, will have French monoplane manned by an aviator able, he says, to tango and do the turkey trot in the sky, as well as to squirt at rate of 100 miles an hour when atmospheric con ditions are right for that much speed.
 The management has decided to put on at least one extra fast class it may be as low as a 2,l0-with a 5000 purse. This will get good horses slo Norwich, where the racing has not always been on par with Stafford and Nilliman- tic.
 The l9ll bal Y show, on which Col. k. C. Plaut, the secretary's booster-in- chief, Is going 10 put even more time than he put on the 1913 show, will, the Colonel and his principal helper, Miss Maisie Rider, declare, get out 5O0 youngsters. Last year, when the thing was an experiment, there were loo kids in two tents. The business men of Norwich and vicinity will be generous with the prizes, the way they were last year.
 "We look for 20, 0,000-to.30 900 crowd on Labor Day. said secretary Green man at Norwich. "ln my judgment we shall this year have the biggest fair in the State save, of course, Charter Oak. In 1918 we made money and the profit of last year is, for the most part, being used 10 make this years show something Eastern Con necticut can remember-until l9l5 anyway
 The outside advertising crew will commence to chang paper next week in this county as well as in New Lon- don county, over in Poland and, to some extent, on the Rhode Island side of the line.

Narrowly Escapes Death. Horse Killed

George F. Baker of Eiliotts had a narrow escape from being killed al the railroad crossing near Elliotts station late Monday night. He was on his way hone from Brooklyn and failed to see an approaching train. He drove upon the crossing directly in front of the train. The horse was killed, the wagon smashed to kindling and Baker was thrown out but away from the train so that he escaped with minor cuts and bruises. He was partially stunned and was unable to state whether il was a passenger or freight train that hit him but 1t is believed that it was the State of Maire express. The engineer evidently did not know that he had struck anything AS the train did not stop.

Time for Traffic Regulations

Many thinking people who have noticed the congested condition of Main street from Union Square to the Congregational church believe that the time has arrived when Putnam needs some traffic regulations. This city is a center of trade for an outlying district of some ten thousand people. Many shoppers come here, especially Satur- day nights, in automobiles and car riages. Both sides Of the section men, toned are used for parking purposes and autos and teams head in either di- rection. Many times they stand two deep with only room for one vehicle to pass between the rows and traffic is blocked at times. The situation is dangerous and although there have been some near-accidents nothing dis astrous has as yet happened but the scene is nightly laid for bad collision. The matter could be easily remedied by regulations to make drivers keep on the right whether their machines are in motion CT stationary and not to be allowed to stop unless there is room against the curb. The bad turn from Front and from Pomfret streets is where the real danger lies as machines coming around these sharp corners see blocked highway suddenly loom up before them with occasionally ma- chine that has been standing on the left hand side of the street just starting out which brings them in each others naIhNVuX

EVERY DAY REFLECTIONS
Benefactors.

Orville Wright recently demonstrat- ed his new stabilizer for atroplaneS at his training grounds at Simms' sta- tion.
 It is 0 compensating device attached to the steering apparatus of the atro- plane which automatically controls the wings and rudder of the machine when it is tilted to dangerous angle.
 The aeroplane flies without the guid- ing hands of it's driver, subject only to the influence of the stabilizer and the air currents and pockets.
 Wright held his hands high over his head, so that the experts could see that no control was used on /e guild ing levers. He asserts that his device renders the aeroplane foolproof.
 Whoever invents anything that is
 Without pointing at anybody we contrive a foolproof device which might be carried in the pocket of the politician Then. perhaps, when elect ed governor or senator, he could avoid unpleasant experiences.
 And foolproof nation would take an interest in politics, organize itself in democracy and get the justice and fair play it seeks, instead of submittins to the eternal fiimham of parties IL would also keep all of its children in school, get the usufruct of it's own land, attend to the distribution of it's own wealth products and obtain for itself the profits of its own prosperi- ty, and not hand them over to a group Of shrewd manipulators.

STRIKING AT NEW ENGLAND.

As the negotiations continue towards meeting the requirements of the gov ernment for the dissolution of the New Haven system. 8 deeper realization of just what such a tearing apart of the transportation facilities means is spreading throughout New England. For long business organizations have been on record against the separation of the Sound lines. and as 8 better insight is gained as to the intentions regarding the trolleys and what it means more protests are rising. The necessity. of taking care of the vital interests of New England is felt and in this every city has an interest.
 AS has been we'll said by the New Haven Register: "In the last analysis everybody in New England has some sort of an investment in this trans portation system whose future hangs in the balance. The far west is open ing it's eyes to the perils of dissolution of railroad unions; the far northeast cannot afford to be indifferent to a prospect which affects it much more intimately. Here we live from day to day by commerce and=transporta- tion. We are in the most populous sec ton of the country, and our living cost, our income, our convenience, our most intimate prosperity, depend on transportation"
 The manifestation of concern in diff ferent sections for the retarding of a. blow at New England has been delayed long enough, but if it Is going to be at all effective 1t should not come too late Time enough has been lost in dreamy contemplation.

PRESIDENT ON CANAL TOLLS.

The address of President Wilson to congress leaves no doubt as to where he stands upon the question of canal roiI exemption. When he declares that 1t is 8, mistaken economic policy and against the declarations of the treaty which this country signed with Great Britain he not only scouts the exist ence of any technicalities which might be used in our favor, but he refuses to take advantage of them. He well in terprets the high position of this coun- try when he said: We are too big, 100 powerful, too self respecting a ma ton to interpret with too strained or too fine reading all words of our own promises just because we have power enough to give us leave to read them as we please"
 His message was direct and to the point No words were wasted. no preoedents cited. Honesty and Justice however he considers call for the ac- uon requested. It was a sharp thrust which he made when he declares that he shall not know how to deal with other matters of even greater delicacy and nearer consequences'' if the change Is not made ungrudgingIy. He calls for honest judgment in all things and whether he had the Mexican situat ton in mind or not, the need of one stand ard sf justice for self as well as others is emphasized.
 The exemption was granted as a subsidy to American shipping, which with the law which favors the coast ing trade means double protection. The situation is one, however, which demands that the canal be started right, whether the subsidy is provided in this way or directly.

NORWICH FAIRGROUNDS.

Much interest has been manifested in the recreation and playground move nent in this city, in common with a nationwide enthusiasm over the rec ognized needs and benefits of such eff fort in behalf of the children It is not only natural, but desirable. that children should play. It Is necessary Tor their proper development physi- cally and mentally, but a tremendous amount Of help can be rendered in ob- taining desired results by the proper direction and inspiration for healthful and wholesome play.
 Play is as old as time and the Bib1i- cal verse And the streets of the city shall be beautiful with children play ing in the streets" indicates the fact that the street has long been the com mon playground, though cities and conditions have greatly changed. Play is as important as 1t ever was but the dangers of the street are such as to reveal the advisability of recreation grounds properly supervised and pre- pared to teach the children how to play and to stimulate it under the best influences.
 The realization of the needs for bet ter play conditions has led to action and the playground movement has ad- Ndnceu beyond the governmental state. That six hundred and forty-two cities are in various stages of such activity tells it's own story Norwich is proud of the fact that it Is reckoned in that list. Each year of it's expert ence has brought better results and the Norwich Playground association Is deserving of the proper encourage ment and support in it's commendable undertaking. It can be of material aid In laying the foundation for better citizenship. It is an effort in which the entire city should be interested.

FOR STOMACH TROUBLE
John W. skiIIen of Sidney, Ohio, Has
 Found a Remedy.

Experts declare that the reason stomach disorders are so common in this country is due to nasty and care less habits of eating. Stomach troubles and rundown conditions usually go together.
