THE CHIEFS NEW CAR.

The Fire Commission has decided to purchase a Marmon car, it is an- nounced, to replace the derelict now owned by the fire department ana operated by Fire Chief Noble. There is no doubt but that the chief needs a new car. Repair bills on the old one which has far outlived it's useful ness probably run very high. We have every reason to believe that the Mar. mon is a good car and would be com. paratively inexpensive to operate.
 But there are many others which would be just as adequate for the use of the chief. The possible speed of the Marmon could not be used in the city streets and we do not doubt but that its durability could be matched with other cars at the same price or less, and the acceptable car might have the advantage of being sold through New Britain dealers.
 It seems as if, with wide field of cars to pick from, choice of some car which is handled by New Brit ain concern might be made. Then tho dealers, who contribute their share of the purchase price of the new car and it's upkeep in taxes, would have a show of making a slight return on the money that they expend yearly by making a sale to the city. Local money is raised in New Britain, it 2 vhn.,ld ba speut here aS far as pOSsf- ble. The proposition is only fair.

COMMUNICATED
May 14, 1921.

Editor of Herald.
 Dear Sir: l didn't like the editor- ial in your Thursdays issue entitled The Sunday Bill" It contained an unjust criticism of Governor Lake for his veto of the bill permitting the playing of professional baseball and football, etc, on Sunday. If our gov- ernor is doing anything to conserve our Sunday, he should be sustained and encouraged. Surely we do not need football on the Sabbath. It is something more than exercise. It is a battle and no more necessary on the Sabbath than a circus. While baseball isn't so violent a game it is not needed especially the professional kind. We can do without them on tho Sabbath.
 You said in your article that men and women who work hard all the week, and have not the means to in- dulge in expensive cars or weekend trips to New York in the winter, or some summer resort in the summer, want. to have some amusmeent, etc. It so happened that the writer had to motor, one Sunday morning to hear a special preacher in the home town, and took the state road. I wish I had counted the number of autos and trucks I met conveying people to the various shore resorts. Some may have been going to church, but the vast majority had a holiday expres- sion. They evidently were not wait ing till they could afford expensive cars to take them where they want ed to go.
 You spoke of some who were too tired in the week to attend evening concerts, and who have no chance to attend them in the daytime. This is your argument in favor of Sunday afternoon concerts. These people are not too tired to attend evening movies if we judge from the crowds who go, and at some of these places. there is very good music. We have band concerts at the parks on Sunday afternoon, I believe, in the summer time which all may attend, and at the same time have the fresh air.
 Some of us have lost sight of the real meaning of recreation re-cre- ating of body, mind and soul. The latter cannot be left out, unless to our peril, and Sunday is given us for this purpose. Please allow me to quote a few words from my Sunday school quarterly: Some of us have gone pleasure mad. Some of us are so obsessed with pleasure seeking that we devote too much time to it, going without the proper amount of sleep. or worst of all. converting Sunday into a holiday on which we seek every form of diversion and recreation ex- cept the worship of God and rest for our jaded bodies.
 And so we come to see that excess even in the good and salutary things of life is harmful and that we need to apply wisdom and discretion in our practice of them."

law of tho matter are in dispute. the case will end in tho city court.
 Just what is d question Of law and what is a question of fact becomes a question of law itself. But this is for the judge to decide and the result would be the same as if tho lay liti- gant knew all about it.
 A jury, for instance. passes upon questions of fact, not upon questions of law. The finding of a jury is a finding based upon the facts only. Tho application of the law to those facts, or what facts may be presented to the jury is question of law which the court decides.
 The thing ir which a man who is not a lawyer is interested is that the proposed amendment will tend to stop the continuation of many cases, through appeals to higher courts. It would make a man less fearful, lest. in beginning what he considers just suit, in which the amount involved is small. he may be letting himself in' for a long litigation. For that reason the proposed amendment seems to be wise one.
 Anything that will tend to hasten justice and settlement of disputes, without at the samo timo paving the way for too nasty decision, ia wise. Where a verdict is given on the facts alone in the court where the witness ea appeared and testified, it ia more apt to be fair on question of fact than the decision Of another higher court nesses, but merely reads what they have said.

terested in the causes which have brought trouble to tenants here and cities of the size Of New Britain. as they will be in the perplexities of |, those in greater cities. This. because Secretary Hoover will make it so even if the men designated were in- clinod to consider the great cities to the exclusion Of the smaller ones.
 1t is to be noted. also. that Sec retary Hoover has not waited until the fall of the year to take action. He has begun in the spring of the year when the housing situation does not bring the alarm that comes with the approach Of the cold weather. The conclusions reached by this commit tee will have brought results. it is hoped and believed. before another winter sets in, and New Britain, through legislation recommended or plans adopted under the guidance of Secretary HooveE will feel the bene- fits as we'll as other cities where the trouble has brought more serious con- sequences than have been apparent here.

CLAYTON CROSSING AGAIN.

Another accident at Clayton cross ing. once again a train has hit an auto, once again there has been death as n result of the smash.
 Yesterday the grisly toll which is being taken at one of the most dangerous spots in this vicinity was added to. Will the number O. deaths again be increased tomorrow? We do not know the answer, fate's finger makes no preliminary tracery. But 1t Is certain that as long as the use of autos and trains continue the Clayton crossing will be R death trap. The view is obstructed by high brick sheds, the autoist may not see down the track until he is practically upon it. True. there is a dinky little bell, whose warming signal imparts a little, very little. irregularity to sound in the neighborhood providing there is no other noise to overcome it. There is another warning in the shape of a banjo signal if we are not mistaken. But banjo signals do not always work
 Tho chances arc that the motorists injured yesterday were not proceed ing with tho greatest of caution. Very few motorists do. In fact If the driv- CT had been thoughtful of his own safety he would not have travelled that route at all. unless he had to. On tho other hand. the train that hit tho
 
 est of caution and regard for life and limb. If 1t were it would come to complete stop before attempting to negotiate the crossing. despite it's due caution Such caution is not observed by anyone. The obvious solution of the trouble is the elimina- ton of tho crossing or the installation of gates. If we are not mistaken the railroad was ordered by the utilities commission over a year ago to do one or the other. It has not done so yet. Maybe, after enough have been killed, 1t will.
 Of course we are countenancing the railroad which must be pampered. The company is practically bankrupt, SO we are led to believe, and it is up to the public to encourage 1t and loan it it's good will as much as possible. So We are told by railroad heads. But 1t becomes increasingly difficult to loan good will to an organization which is instrumental in killing citi- gems in a manner which, 1t seems. could be checked by the adoption of proper safety devices.

To purchase all that she holds fair Would break a millionaire Upon the throne of Mammon. Once, when milady went to town She wore a simple russet gown, A hat with waving feather. Within her eyes, like morning dew, The sparkle of contentment grew In any kind of weather. Alas, Dame Fashion set the pace And now my love perforce must chase The styles, against all wishes: Must follow on, where'er they go, With birds of air, or down below Where swim the little fishes. She's going to be a mermaid now, With sea weed tangled on her brow And scales upon her skirting. And soon, I fear, we'll find her there Upon a coral-stranded stair
