It seems to be sort of low down joke to play on our few aviators to send them new aeropIanes which are guaranteed to be as fiimsey as those which have just gone to wreck in Mexico, while we send to the Euro every test of expert aviation. What is good enough for the allies in Europe ought to be the sort we use ourselves. F-Ansonia Sentinel.
 The Massachusetts Legislature is considering a bill to protect sheep by destroying or restraining dogs It is strange how complex the situation is. The dog defenders say dogs are not greatly to blame for the decline of sheep-raising. They say also that the law would be hard on innocent dogs, and offer a premium to the crafty dog catchers. The contrast be- tween the innocent dogs of Massa- ehusetts and the vicious deer of Con- necticut is caution. = Waterbury American.
 Homer Cummings of Stamford is , credited with a purpose to run as the democratic candidate for y. s. Sen ator against George P. Mclean. That ambition should by all means be en- couraged. An experience of that kind is obviously the only one to convince the Stamford claimant that the boundaries of Stamford are also l the boundaries of his political aspir ations. As an opponent of George P. Mclean, Mir Cummings would get just what is coming to hinn-and it will not be a seat in the U. $. Senate. 1 Most earnestly we advise Homer to make the contest. And not to be fur ] ther bothered with the incident we now and here extend our congratula- l ton to Senator Mclean on his re- eleetion.-Bristol Press.
 | We all pay a great deal of atten- ton to the conservation of our na- ttonal resources and it is a patriotic ] duty to conserve them. But our have resources in our own state and right at our own doors to which we should give serious attention. They l belong to the state and 1t becomes a state duty to make the most of them for our own sake and for the sake of the other states of the union There is always the disposition tc yield to the temptation to go fal afield for objects which appeal tc our enterprising instincts and stim- | ulate our industrial energies, while we, at the same time, neglect the I opportunities to enrich the state ana bring comfort and happiness to its people which are within our reach Sheep raising is one of these oppor- tunitfes aIsd it is pity that it is neglected. It has almost become 2 lost industry. It should not become an abandoned one.-Hartford Times.
 Watch crowded streets, and you vii continually find trucks, bicycles, dumY carts, delivery wagons and other slow knowing vehicles hogging the middle of the road. When a faster moving vehicle attempts to pass one of thest | traff1c-law vioIators, it is forced into | ono of two expedients equally ob- noxious, and equally dangerous.
 It must either pass on the extrem,
 left, which brings it on the wronl side of the road and in danger of col
 lision with vehicles travelling in tn, opposite direction, or it must pass ol
 the right, which is contrary to tn law and opens the imminent dange
 of collision with the vehicle which i

 accident due to his own stupidity, i
 is hard to feel any real sympathy fo
 him. But the trouble is, that some
 one else too must suffer in the acci

 enforcement of this traffic rule is Jeff
