The New Haven railroad earned $264.O00 in March over all expenses, whereas a year ago it showed a deficit for the same month of $245,000. For the nine months ending March 31, it earned a net profit of $870,000, as against deficit of $1,727, 900 for the corresponding period a year ago. The New Haven is coming back, and the process Is being hastened by the ac- tivity in the brass and machinery cen ter of Connecticut and Rhode Island, all of which are growing buster on war orders.--Waterbury Republican.
 In New Jersey a short time ago a child was thrown into a small stream and a Newfoundland dog pushed in after it. The dog refused to play its part at the proper time and the boy sank twice. An autoist stopped near the bridge and denounced the movie" actors, one of whom plunged into the water full clothed in time to save the child. The little fellow was wrapped in blankets and whisked away in an automobile. If full grown individuals want to take the risk of crazy stunts to tickle the jaded mentality of the public, well and good, but children ought not to be subjected to conditions which might easily become fatal. - Meriden Record.
 Between the Connecticut law, which thus allows dangerous weapons to be freely circulated, and the New York law, which prohibits their use as legitimate weapons of defense in the home, there ought to be some sort of a sensible compromise possible. Such compromise would be the strict licens- ing by the authorities of the sale of weapons, just as the carrying of such weapons is now licensed by the au- thorities. Under this system, a re- elk ,{oI2 +o Jr1 pistol in the house for the protection of his home, could do so, but a per son who did not have good reason for the possession of such weapon, could not buy one in the stores.- Bridgeport Telegram.
 Patience is always rewarded For two decades Middlesex county politi- clans played into the hands of the powers that be and deprived the peo- facilities enjoyed by other counties of the state. Now the jitney has come to help and destroy what came of it's own accord to make a big system complete. And 1t might be added that some of those keeping awake nights would have trolley extension because they did not need it personally, will be the very ones to jump aboard any old kind of an outfit to get their destina- ton, in order to keep up to the crowd Patience has it's reward in several ways and some of the politicians of the past can now see it as clear as they can the passing jitneys by their door.--Middletown Press.
 The majority of the judiciary com nlittee has reported favorably upon a bill which will permit cities, towns and boroughs to pass ordinances al- lowing moving picture theaters to open Sunday evenings from seven to eleven O clock. Eleven out of the thirteen members of the committee appear to favor this proposal. What the fate of the bill will be we cannot say. It Is not to be denied that the move is in the spirit of the times. But 1t must also be admitted that there Is still a great element in the state which is opposed to any liberalizing of the Sabbath. There are some even, who would make the law more rigorous than at present, but that can never be done. It would cause a revolution which would swing the pendulum far over and work for a wide open Sun day in the end, This does not seem to be desirable.-Bridgepo Post,
 
 The season for window screens is close at hand and one wonders how long it will be before they can be dis pensed with altogether. It all de- bends upon how long it takes to learn to apply the principles of clean up'' campaigns the year round In Berlin, the cleanest city in the world, win dow screens and screen-doors are as unknown as flies and Inosnuitas are.
