WON'T GO HERE,

The Rough Stuff'' that was de- scribed in police court yesterday, m connection with an affair in a local restaurant. will not go in New Britain It is just as we'll that men here realize this fact.
 New Britain is not New York City and New Britain is able to stop at once any tendency of men to start something.
 Action here is quick and effective. Those who have read much about the Crime Wave" in New York had bet ter not try to follow the example of even the most inoffensive of the gun men, there. This fact must be under stood.
 In n large city such as New York. where crowds are constantly on the streets. and where chance for es- cape is open for the man who com- mits a misdemeanor or a crime. it is sometimes hard to stop rough stuff." to say nothing of crime. be- fore it has a chance to get we'll start ed.
 Not so in city of this size. Every section of the city is so we'll know to the police that they are acquainted with the habits of most of the resi- dents in any one section. The police and other authorities know most of the bad element by sight, name and history. None of them can get away" with anything for a very long time.
 In view of the situation in New York City 1t is best to call the atten- ton to men in New Britain of this fact. It is with great regret that such matters are referred to. A warn ing. however. seems not out of place and SO it is repeated
 The Rough Stuff'' won't go here.

glad the women have the vote because they will be conservative. She may be right about the women being con servative. Home" women hate nov ing and are appalled, by any thought of making changes that pull things up by the roots. Glancing at the matter more frivoIously, however, and seeing tho change in women's habits and dress of the present day, one is com pelIed to feel tha the English woman may be wrong about this conserva- tism. especially in the younger gener- ation.
 Mrs. Pankhurst evidently believes that Bolshevism is the thing that con Ssrvatism would kill.
 It Is believed that she is mistaken. Had there been less conservatism and more progression. Bolshevism would have had little to work upon-and no brief is here held for Bolshevism.
 The want of progressive measures. and their enforcement. is Bolshevism' s or radicalism's strongest weapon. There are honest Bolshevists and honest socialists-perhaps a crumb cast to them would have delayed the springing up of this menace. Certain ly a more humane consideration of the lives and trials of those who are not of the wealthy class would have soothed some of the unrest this coun- try has known.
 We must not be foolish. like the dog, and drop our big bone of good institutions, good government and good traditions, to grasp at the seem- ingiy bigger bone of the mysterious unknown offered by Bolshevism.
 But we must look forward to bet tering conditions of those who often had not received fair play. and we must retain an anchor of conserva- tism while we arc doing 1t.

It's lots O fun to ruminate when all you feel is peace when your own railroad tracks O life are slathered up with grease. For things run mighty smoothly then: your dreams jest float along in soft melodi- ous harmony-the echo O a song. When darkness steals upor YOU an the smoke rings sloH,y rise an you sit, contem- plative there. you're apt to close your eyes an see again things O the past: mistakes perhaps there were. when you were jest a little kid-'the gangs great walloper. You mind the boy you licked who was ''most twice as big as you; you won der why. in later life. you didn't carry through" You wonder why. when you were grown, you didn't fight like that, an why. at seemin' obstacles. you meekly doffed your hat. You wonder if it's now too late to make another start; you won- der if there's somethin' in this "changin' O the heart" Out goes your pipe: you rise alert this lassitude shall cease-it's lots lots O fun to ruminate when all you feel is peace.

THE METRIC SYSTEM.

The discussion as to whether or not the use of the metric system of weights and measures in the United States would be wise. has resulted in the introduction of a bill in Congress providing for such adoption.
 The bill is said to provide that tho manufacturer may use any weight or measure in production, but compels him to use the metric system in com- mereial transactions.
 The discussion is an old one. The matter was brought up at one of the New Britain Chamber of Commerce luneheons last spring. It was found from speeches made at that time that tho manufacturing interests here are opposed to the adoption of the metric system. New machinery would have to be used. 1t was said. and the whole scheme of their business would have to be changed.
 The intimation was made that the movement for the change from our own plan of weights and measures was of German inception. started with the idea of benehtting that country. From good sources it is ascertained that this Is probably not th. case. Other arguments against it's 9. how ever. are sound.
 About thirty -four nations of the world use the metric system. Its uni versal use is inevitable, says Repre- sentative Britten, of Illinois. who in- troduced the bill. Hc wants the United States to get i'm now. He declares that it is the universal stand ard at this time in science.

 Anxiety relative to living conditions in Plume was not concealed yesterday at Abbazia by Rickardo Gigante, mayor of the city. during his interview with General Ferrario, ndireHt con- mand of troops attacking the city. He said the population was threatene6 with starvation and that supplies were lacking, since all necessa ries of life had been requisitioned for the fighting men.
