Now Talking of Records.
(Meriden Record.)

What is declared to be a world S
record for accurate and rapid fire
gunnery, was made by the armored
cruiser San Diego at target practice
recently. According to deSpa tcheS
number II siN-inch gun scored eight
perfect hits out of eight shots in ~
seconds, firing at a range of 1900
yards. The crew of number "A, three
inch gun, also scored eight bulls eyes
in as many attempts in As seconds,
the range being 1000 yards.
There is something decidedly slim
ulating about this revival of publish
ing records. 1t is something of which
we have heard 50 little that we had
actually forgotten that there were
such things as records in connection
with the United States navy.
Secretary Daniels, for reasons best
known to himself, has seemed to
think the navy could exist and inn
prove without anything to live on.
There was no stimulus to cndeavor,
no spirit of competition with naval
bodies of other nations. Appropria-
tions were cut and the whats-the-use
atmosphere could not be pierced.
Since the preparedness issue took
on such substantial form the navy has
assumed q position of vital i'm
portance and even pussy-footed Mr..
Daniels has realized the necessity for
doing something which will vindcate
him in the eyes of the public
The people like to hear of the MAX
ing of records at target pra ctice and
unless all signs fail they will hear
much more of this sort OF thing in the
future than in the past.

New 'Haven's Best Answer.
New York World.

\N'o" Aoi IN w VI lN'f
Only two%men were in a position
to know with certainty whether DAD
ser signals were set against the New
Haven local which crashed into the
stalled express near Milford; why, if
set they were run by, and why, if
run by and with 700 feet of clear
view ahead to the express, there was
failure to check the speed Of the To-
cal enough to prevent a violent col
hslon. These two men we're on the
locomotive Of the local and they
are dead.
70 these questions the New Haven
company may never be able to es~
tablish satisfactory answers. But the
New haven Is in a position to 40
something better. It can provide
safeguards which will make a repeti-
ton of any such accidents on it's four
track line practically impossible.
The contract of this city with the
1nterborough respecting the new
subways provides:
All signals, where deemed ne
cessary by the commission, shall be
equipped with. devices for automatic
cally stopping any train passing a
danger signal
This is not requiring of the Inter
borough the impossible 1t is requir-
ing for the new subways only what
has been tried out on the old sub
way with so great demonstration
of effectiveness that there is no rec
ord of a collision from running by
these signals and no record of their
failure to stop a train where for any
reason the driver had become disah]-
ed.
: Nothing but the cost stands in the
way of the New Haven's installation
of automatic trip signals on its cleo
tritied lour-track line, and it is in
no position to count the cost.
