them until the next night. and at the end of the week they would be paid what was coming to them above the daily hslf-dollar. This would amount to between five and twenty dollars. Whatever it was would go straight back to the saloons which had been furnishing them with "eye-openers" every day.
 The "whiskey'' was about as bad as can be imagined. It was popularly called Ky.
 Perhaps this Ky" aided the pro- hibition movement here nearly as much as did the recognition by busi- ness men and heads of great con- cerns that a man who drank was in- efficient. Indirectly it aided and in- spired prohibition and social workers to increase their efforts. Certainly it. and other abuses of the saloons in America is responsible for the con- dition in our country of liquor mat ters today.
 So it is quite probable that the same sort of stuff. if it has found it's way into Scotland. has aided the prohibition movement there. It is an expensive way to bring prohibition about-expensive in the ruin it has caused. the deaths 1t is accountable for-but perhaps it was necessary here-it may be necessary in other lands. Those who are unalterably opposed to prohibition as a rule are ignorant of some of these facts. They should know

HEALTH BOARD ACTIVITY.

The Health Board as at present constituted seems to favor publicity. It seems to have an idea that better results will be obtained If the peo- pie are taken into its confidence. and learn what 1t is trying to do and why.
 The policy Is a wise one. Co-opera- ton between public officials who have to do with public welfare and the public is essential. Such cooperation Is much more likely to be obtained if both parties know what is con- templated.
 The board suggests changing the hour in which merchants employees sweep the sidewalks in front of their places of business rom to S. to from 9 to 10.
 To the person who is obliged to pass over the streets during the day. this change would seem advisabIc. It is believed the people who go to work early would not object The former would find the streets cleaner throughout the day. because the walks had been swept after the early workers. who form almost a pro- cession. have passed. The workers themselves would not be inconveni- eneed by having to avoid those who are sweeping and the dirt from their brooms.
 Unless the merchants are seriously ineonvenienced by the change to the later hour. it would seem wise to adopt the plan.
 In tho matter of n warning to va- eationists as to drinking from wells not known to hold pure water. the board has been thoughtful. Individ- uals will do we'll to observe the warn ing.
 The health board Is to be con- graduated on looking into both mat ters. and on making public its ac- tivities. The public will appreciate a continuance of the practice of pub llSity.

are not readily adaptable for other uses.'
 The commission also says that if, as the available evidence indicates the street railway cannot survive undeer a policy of unrestricted jitney com petition, it is plain that the general public interest demands proper regu- lation of jitney operations as a con- dition of retaining the existing trans portation service.
 In considering the situation, the New Britain government should keep the public interests always in mind and should decide regardless of whose OK is gored.
 Perhaps the jitney may prove a. blessing to the trolley company after all. The electric system was becom- ing smugly complacent with its serv- ice, sort of pleased with itself and not a little bit inclined to snub the public. Like the little boy who took advantage of his parents good nature to become insolent. it needed a spanking. After it quits bawling we hope it will get down to business and give real service. the lack of which was an engraved invitation for the iitneys to come in and compete.
 Although periods of idleness are being experienced by workmen in other industrial centers, particularly those in which textile works flourish, individuals in close touch with the manufacturing life of New Britain can see no depression ahead. This, of course. depends to a great extent on the rest of the country and the , commercial situation in other man. ufacturing centers.
 Ever since the armistice was signed and factories began to adjust them selves to peace conditions. there has l been a demand for New Britain made products far in excess of the supply | and most of the plants have been far | behind their orders.

iy 1t must be presumed. IL Is with no regret that we may consign tho abortive third pary attempt to the discard. Perhaps a legitimate third pary may grow naturally. There are many things to be righted. But 1t is believed that one or both of the old parties will honestly grasp hold Of many of these wrongs; will see the tendency Of the times. Will recognize the dissa tisfaction prevalent and will ailay it. Both parties are in a bet ter position to do SO than would be any third party today. Their pro- gressive and remedial action will be both for their own sakes and for the sakes of those who have not been carried away by the unconsidered ac- ton of men who may mean well. but who do not know exactly how to go about fighting all the wrongs in the world by one fell swoop.

Reader Objects to Ban on Fishing iIi City Reservoir.
 T,,1xy Q3A,

Reader Objects to Ban on Fishing in
 City Reservoir.
 July 16, 1s2o.s New Britain Herald: s!
 The writer notes in a recent issue of the Herald that the Board of Water Commissioners, for sanitary reasons, have decided to prohibit fishing in the various reservoirs from which our city gets it's water supply. It strikes the writer as a far-fetched and inA consistent act on the part of the com Fl missioners. \
 Fishing has always been permitted at the reservoir, with the exception of. the two years that we were involved in the World War, and, to the bes. knowledge of the writer, has never. resulted in any serious pollution of the water supply. In fact if the word of the Commissioners is to be believed. every analysis that has been made has shown our water to be purer and of better quality than that of any of our neighboring towns and cities.
 Tn the opinion of the writer, the water suffers greater pollution through the harvesting of the.i ice than it ever will through any acts of the fisher man on the banks of the reservoir. Yet it is proposed to prohibit the fishing, but we will still continue to harvest the ice. as
 Wherein lies the consistency?
 Fishing. at the reservoirs, partfcu- larly Shuttle Meadow, is a means or recreation and rest for many of the people of our city, after a long not day in the factory or office, and the, prohibition of this sport inflicts an unnecessary hardship on these people
 The writer would ask if the Com missicners have just awakened to the terrible danger to which the users oI city water are constantly exposed by the unsanitary acts of the fishermen?
 Regardless of any action the Con- missioners may take in this matters there will always be a certain ele- ment who will commit depreciation and nuisances on the watershed whenever the opportunity presents itself, but why make the fisherman suffer for it?
 A LOVER or THE SPORT.

IL is said that the awfuIness of the American whiskey sent to Scotland during the war has 'sickened" Scotchmen Of liquor. The report comes from prohibition workers in Scotland.
 Undoubtedly there is truth in the claim. The whiskoy sold on West Madison and South State streets in Chicago. and the results Of drinking the whiskey there sold. more than 'sickened" many of the habitues of those quarters and those with whom they came in contact
 Tn the days before prohibition came it was common to find profes- sional men. lawyers of former good repute and college graduates. who had begun by drinking good stuff" forced by poverty to turn to the cheap hve-cent drinks of "whiskey" much of which was made in the eel lars of the saloons which dispensed it.
 Such men had about given up. Frequent attempts were made by re- formers and the charitably inclined. to reinstate many of these men in their former callings. but in most cases these attempts failed.
