"SAFETY FIRST,o

It will be well if the people of this city follow carefully the instructions of railroad companies. in their new campaign to reduce the nunbe of ac- cidents to pedestrians who use the railroad as shortcuts on their trips to and from work and in search of pleas urc. A large number of accidents take place yearly, many of which re- suit fatally and all of which have carelessness as a primary blame. It is the careless persons who suffer and it will be endeavored to bring the pos sible result of their deeds so forcibly to their attention that it will eliminate. this fault Safety First" is a battle cry which may not be ignored in our struggle for life.
 The percentage of accidents in pro- portion to the population is small. But with a little care there need not be any such mishaps. Any gain in reduc- ing the number of sudden deaths and permanent cripples is valuable one. Every person, by taking care, may help win this gain. One of the first rules for reducing accidents from rail road trains is Unless it is absolutely essential that you walk on railroad property keep away from it and if you have to cross it, do so by the most Ci- rect route after seeing to it that the route is clear" Public crossings are provided and they are properly safe guarded. Even then there is risk to the foolhardy.
 New Britain average about one ac- Cident a week, yearly, half of which result fatally. Others usually make permanent Cripples out of the man that took a chance. This is a small part of Kew Britain's annual death list but the shame of it is that ninety five per cent, of it is avoidable. Nine five per cent. of the deaths may be saved by care. It is not worth while to 'WatCh Your Step ,"

 Boy. Howdy.'
 The nifty young artilleryman with
 the broad and pleasant, deep tanned
 face grinned a joyful grin and dragged
 his companion, an infantryman with
 a red chevron on h;s sleeve, up to the
 window of a Pennsylvania avenue lunchroom in Washington.

CHANGES IN LAWS.

Of the several changes in state law which went into effect July i there are one or two that will directly af- feet many people in the city. Of par ticular interest are about three of them. These affect the owners and patrons of moving picture houses the fisherman and the automobile own CT.
 Movie managers are warned that they will, in the future, be liable to a fine of $50 for each person to whom they sell standing room in excess of the predetermined standing capacity of their houses. The state police will determine how many may stand in a given theater and all in excess of this number will ma ke the proprietor liable To a very stiff fine. There have been many difficulties in the past with local

be oyercrovded but no such penalties have been imposed on New Britain cases.
 The fisherman in search of brook trout or brown trout will be limited to 20 fish next year instead of the previous bag of 80. Though the seven- inch size limit law did not pass, the lowering of the mum Der allowed did Open season on trout will not come about until next April again, but the sportsman must rem ember the new maximum number of fish which he is allowed.
 Alarmed at the steadily increasing list of automobile thievings the Legis- lature has seen fit 10 make the penal~ tv for the indiscriminate individual who does not consult the owner be- fore taking a machine 10 years in jail. The thief of a machine, in Iase his guilt is proven, will be liable to one-haIf as great a penalty as a per son found guilty of manslaughter. It will be serious matter for the thief if he is caught.

ApJouRNlNa POLITICS ABROAD.

ADJoURNlNo POLITICS ABROAD.
In what Americans, trained and
accustomed to practical politics, would
call the "caucusing" preliminary to
the actual assembling Of the worlds
peace conference, indications multiply
that economic questions must take
precedence over political issues. The
urgency Of common human need
throughout the world will not brook
delay. The theoretical international
peace conference faces the practical
internationalism of hunger. The SOW
let Of empty stomachs and bare backs
demands first consideration. That
the delegates to the conference recog-
nize this is shown by the prominence
given in preliminary discussion to
measures of human relief, says Chica-
go Daily News. 1t is found more i'm
portant to know whether Mr.. Hoover
will accept the burden Of world food
distribution than whether the ex-
kaiser has any legal right to remain
in Holland. The problem of employ
ment of the worlds armies in con-
structive work Is just now more vital
than decisions as to boundaries and
forms of government. Perhaps after
the stage Is cleared of these imminent
and urgent matters 1t will be discov-
cred that politics, boundaries, rulers
and the forms Of administration have
been greatly simplified and lend them
selves to adjustment upon the recog-
nized basis of humanity rather than
upon the outworn doctrine of too
narrow natiOnalism.

The United States shipping board
announces the revival of the ancient
and honorable title, Office and emolu-
ments of "supercargo." Readers of
sea tales of bygone period will re-
call such a parsonage. The super
cargo formerly owed his position to
the circumstances that deep-sea ships
made trading voyages beyond the
reach of communications, sometimes
being gone for year or more. The
supercargO went along as the per-
sOnal representative of the owners,
to sell or barter the cargo to the
best advantage. The sailors were apt
to look upon him as an IRE eclaim.

James Russell Lowell is said to
have confessed to John Fiske in his
later life that he had lost all relish
for higher literature and only cared
for tales of wild adventure and detec-
tive stories. The elderly Harvard
alumnus who vouches for this also
says that Tennyson was affected in
the same way as the result Of years
spent in lofty contemplation. Other
authority has it that Mr.. Taft and
President Wilson find relaxation in
detective stories. BY the way, did
anyone ever hear Of the reverse of
this procedure-a turning to lofty
contemplation in their late years by
persons who look to detective litera.

Herr President Ebert's government
is figuring on plan for paying off the
German debt. 1t expects to begin by
selling all war profits, this to be fol-
lowed in time by taking over all
"sw0llen" fortunes. In effect, the
new German scheme will not only levy
high taxes for time, but will virtu-
ally abolish inheritance. says Omaha
Bee. Naturalization Of industry and
socialization of wealth will provide
means for settling with creditors, as
well as removing source of worry
to the government. When no citizen
has great wealth, the bOlsheviki will
have less to envy.
