1ne question IS asked what Will become of the slackers after the some of them jobs sweeping floors and cleaning up uspidors-Meriden Journal.
 We do not want to develop peasant class of women in this country such as is seen with the Poles and Italians of the Long Island truck gardens, but we do want more women to engage in agriculture. We want their brains as much as their muscle. The muscle can be chiefly supplied by young boys who are learning and older men who are too old to learn. All this means training for mind as we'll as body.
 Women are particularly adapted to direct and manage farms. Women farm managers who have not the strength to use a walking blow, but who are financially succeaSeul farm managers Women are particularly well suited by nature for animal hus- bandry. In Holland, for instance. the women are the essential factors of successful dairying.
 Let us give women a specisl op- l portunity through the schools and cilleges to become directors rather than i laborers of the farm.-New Haven Union1
 It is surprising that there could be
 at this stage of the game, any auto mobile driver so dense as not to know i that he has no right to pilot his ma
 chine past standing trolley car that ] is taking on or discharging passengers
 Yet there are such drivers and it is
 the province of the police and the
 courts to keep after them vigorously
 Any summer Sunday brings forth or our roads a crowd of automobiles such i as only few years ago would have been thought phenomenal for one o1 the big football games.
 With this great press comes in-
 creasing danger for everyone-for ped estrians, trolley passengers, and the automobilsts themselves.
 Only by keeping the reckless ant
 careless strictly in control by tht
 sternest enforcement of the automo
 bile laws can the loss of life through automobile accidents be kept to minimum.
 On crowded highways there is tot
 much danger even when cars ar,
 handled by good drivers, to show an!
 mercy to law violators. They sboult
 be punished to the limit.-Bridgepor

 Mayor Sandland has come to tn
 point where his measure as a mayo will be taken. He. has failed to talk
 action to straighten out the wate , meter row that has sprung up be
 tween the board of aldermen ant the board of public works He is sai to have favored placing the contrae with the National Meter Co. wher the cost to the city would have beei $99,000 more than for other types 0 meters that experts say are as goo ' as the ones that the public work , board voted to purchase. The mayor } being in the chair at the now ia nous meeting at which the publi !, works board took this action. dAt not vote with Daniel J. Regar l Charles H. Preston and John r Sherwood when they put over tn } vote to buy the expensive meter: t What was in his mind is not eyiden ; from the action of the meeting. H l has not expressed his mind thus ia
 for the people,, but he has refuse 5 to sign the contract which at ieas ;, shows that he hesitates.
 ) The mayor should not hesitate to s long. Waterbury cannot afford [ wait at this particular time. Tn !, buying of meters should not be al ! lowed to fall through as it has don = in the past, simply because at thi = time such mess has been stirred u = on the question The mayor shoul e be busying himself strengthening or T the disagreement between the tw r boards. He should not be balancin }, on the fence in this matter If |
