The prolonged attack made by AL
derman A M. Paonessa on W. F.
Brooks as chairman of the park COM
mission, which he unwilingly dropped
at the council meeting last week, is
causing no little comment and much
wonderment is expressed as to the
reason Several months ago the al
| derman wished to purchase a triang-
ular plot of land at the junction of
! Hartford avenue and Stanley street
! adjacent to his garage. but on the ad-
vice of Mr.. Brooks who saw in it a
! possibility of a future city garden
| plot to beautify the approach, per-
| mission to buy this land was refused.
It can't be that the alderman from
| the sixth was peeved.

The service has not improved very
materially since the government took
over the telephone and telegraph
lines. The telephone operators to-
| day don't seem to understand any
more than they did before that when
a person calls ring A. that it is
ring 4" they want, and not ring ID,
or 2. or 1-2 or any other number ex-
cept ring A.. Also, they don't all
seem to understand that when a per-
| son calls a number they reply would

That which the weather man has
provided for the Berlin Fair this
year has been anything but pleasant
and certainly must have proved rath-
er discOuraging for those who had
put SO much time and thought into
making the arrangements. On the
whole however. the Berlin Fair man
agement has been pretty fortunate
for there have been only a compare
lively few years, since the fair as
sumed such large proportions at
least that the weather has hampered
them materially. This year. how
ever, is not the first when J. Pluvious
has attempted to inundate the
grounds. About six years ago, during
Gov. S. E. Badwin's administration,
there was veritable deluge on gov
enor's day and the fair had to be
postponed The following day how
ever, the storm cleared away and the
governor appeared, the sun shone
brightly and everybody was pleased
as has been the case this week.

Owing to the large population of
citizens of Swedish ancestry and the
very frequent recurrence of the
names Johnson and Anderson as
family name, it is quite likely that
there are more people with these
names in New Britain than with any
other single name. A perusal of this
years directory shows that the John
sons lead. there being no less than
1928 Johnsons registered. Andersons
come next with 237 by that name be-
ing included on the pages of the di-
rectory.
The old-fashioned names of Smith,
Jones and Brown, so often used IN
jokes and anonymous stories are not
as many as the frequent use Of these
names might indicate. In this city
there are 155 Smiths registered in
the directory, while only 81 Joneses
appear and but 81 Browns.

Are you saving your peach stones
for the government? We would too,
only we have not got any peaches.
The prOverbial boarding house,
where, the wit tells us, prunes make
a staple article of dessert, should be
able to contribute generously to the
gas defense department, for it is In
making a chemical used in gas masks
that peach stones, nut shells and fruit
pits are used

1t really begins to look as though
the proposed health ordinance COM
polling all producers of milk to equip
their diaries with a steam sterlllz-
ing plant will not be accepted. New
Britain is not ready for any such
sweeping ordinance. There are too
many small producers here. Let's
hope that the same results, that of
providing healthful and clean milk,
can be obtained by a strict enforce
ment of the present sanitary rules
and regulations and under the direc-
ton of the capable health department
this seems quite probable.

70un Topics

There are several committees, ap-
pointed by the mayor during the past
few months, that as far as the pub
lie know, exist or did exist. in name
only. Chief among these was the
committee appointed, amid much c.
atOfy, to Investigate the rent cOndi-
tons in the city. 1t had been charged
that many tenement owners were
boosting the price of their rents be-
yond all bounds of reason and this
committee was to investigate these
things and make a report and recon-
mcndatiOns. AS far as can be learned
this committee has never met, and
what has been done in the nature of
research work in this connection has
been done by E. G. Connolly, proba-
ton officer, ad the mayor himself.
But as far as the common council,
which authorized the appointment of
this committee is concerned, abso-
lutely nothing has been done for no
report has ever been made. Then
there is the committee, appointed
several months ago, to investigate
the Burlington water supply. Sever
al meetings have been held. numer-
Gus little automobile trips to Burling-
ton have been enjoyed by the inves-
ClSo'CoIS d4u CneIe Cle matter hangs.
No final report has been made and
the burden of the whole affair now is
said to rest on the manufacturers
who are understood to be doing some
investigating of their own. And there
is another committee-the special
committee to investigate the advisa-
bility of the city going into the mu-
nicipal wood business. It does seem
too, as though a. some time in the
dim past a committee was appointed
to take up the matter of building a
public comfort house.

We >have attempted, in good faith
and all sincerity, to corkscrew some
thing out of ex-State Treasurer and
ex-senator Judge James r. Walsh,
about the political outlook for this
neck-of- the-woods regarding the
probabilities and possibilities of the
rapidly approaching campaign. He
owns up, sans fear and without re-
proach that he doesn't know thing
about the politics of Greenwich or
Fairfield county-and even the
threat of bringing J. Henry Roraback
down here to coach him fails to
bulge him from that stand.-Green-
wich News and Graphic.

Evidently the government thinks
that the paving Of West Main street,
from Black Rock bridge to the town
line, is absolutely unessential and
that is absolutely correct if essential
things are determined by their effect
on helping to win the war. To con-
serve materials and to liberate men
that might do other work, the gov
eminent has ordered the state to
abandon this work and now there is
no telling when this stretch of state
highway will be done. The board of
public works will have the street
which has been ripped up, put in
passable condition for the winter.

Having been assured that London
lies in ruins that New York has been

the wrath of self-crowned autocracy
then what is expected of the Ger
mans of today? True descendants of
the best German stock will today not
stop short of a complete remuneration
Of all that smacks of the German, for
the same reason that these old-time
true Germans left the abomination of
German Imperialism behind them.
The hyphen, which, since the war,
has been so justly condemned, should
be ruled out by all foreigners sett-
ling in America; and Germans, in this
country, by reason of the aspersion
cast upon them by the land of their
birth, should lead all nations in the
elimination of all half hearted citi-
zenship. Children born of German
parents in America will then be Am
orleans true blue, and not German, or
foreign Americans. The
awakening German will bless himself
and the land of his nativity and the
land which invited him to share it's
boundless blessings, only as an AM
erican, not as a German or as of
German antecedents.
The German people had not the in
herent virtue or strength to free
themselves; and, by reason of this,
their unacknowledged weakness, the
whole world is now obliged to fight
this awful bloody world-battle to
keep itself from being enslaved, as
the German people still are, by Ger
man. or Hohenzollern, rule.

is healed, that an influence for good

MUSICAL GUARDSMEN
DELIGHT RAYITES IN
CONCERT AT THE CLUB

The Ray Con clubs first Redpath
entertainment of the season was
staged last Wednesday evening. A
record-breaking audience attended.

cording to the posters, were six men,
proved to be mixed sextette of three
men and three women. Several novel
acts which struck the audiences fancy
were provided by the versatile enter
tainers.
A skit, Her Wedding Day." by the
pianiste, was we'll received. Banjo
solos by the leader, a vocal medley
rendered by the pianiste, and clari-
net solo from Verdi's "Rigoletto"
were all enthusiastically applauded
The climax of the evenings enter
tainment was reached when Carl
Lewis, who must have been deeply
impressed with the pianist-vOcalist,
fell from his chair. 1t is said that he
made a good impression, and some
one crudely remarked, ION his hard
