"GET BUiSY."

Months ago, before there was any talk about strikes in connection with tho unemployment question this city took up the latter matter and has fur nished aid to some 5000 men.
 There has been conference at Washington recommending the very things we have done. We had been employing men for some time
 Now comes tho possibility of a great railroad strike. Precautions are being taken all over the country. But no action haa been taken here.
 It is said that meeting of the this week at which the possible inn pending crisis will be discussed ,as a step to take care of the local interests, il necessary.
 And also the secretary of the cham Der has appealed to all truck drivers and owners to report at the Chamber with the trucks they will have avail able. There has been slight response to the call.
 There has been doubt about the call ing of the strike. All hope that it will , not be called, and that it will find New Britain as prepared as possible, if it should come.
 But we will not be prepared if all is left to the truckmen themselves. Here is a splendid chance for the Chamber of Commerce to do some thing which really counts.
 May they have something tangible to report at the meeting this week. Here is a fine opportunity to accom- plish something within reasonable time of the taking of action in other cities. It haa assumed the task, quito propeuly. Let it carry it through as the people are looking for it to do.

CHILDREN HANDICAPPED.

It is a pretty bad condition of af- fairs when, in the ordinarily ruled city, we have not room enough for all our children to go to school on full time As it was said at the city meeting, such lost time may never be made up to them. It ia gone.
 But it is far worse to start children with the handicap that is being laid upon those of Zion City. Illinois.
 The newa comes that the Zion City schools have adopted Voliva'a new Theories that the world is flat; that there is no law of gravitation. Tho world. they say, is surrounded by a wall of ice. The sun, acording to their teaching is little orb about 32 milea in diameter and only 5000 miles from the earth.
 They say that articles thrown into { the air continue to rise until tho fail nre of the pressure on them and they fall only because they are heavier than

PERSONAL TAXES ARE
 BEING PARED DOWN
Senate Considering Lowering De. mands on Those Earning $5,OOO
 Year Or Less.

Washington, Oct. 24-The senate having voted to reduce the amount of taxes to be paid after 1922 by indi- V1duals having net incomes ranging from s5,Oo0 to s1,OO0,o0O or more mad before it today the question of cutting down the taxes on those whose net incomes are S5,000 or less.
 reduction of 50 per cent for this class of taxpayers is sponsored by senator Gerry, democrat, Rhode Island, with the approvals and sup port of the other democrats on the senate finance committee. The pro- posed cut would be in addition to the slight reduction which would result rom the committee recon mmendation that this class of tax payers who are heads of families be granted an in- creased exemption of $500.
 senator Gerry not only would re- lieve, these tax payers but also would nave further reductions made in the taxes to be paid by all individuals. Specifically his amendment to the pending revision bill would fix the normal income rates at two per cent on the first $5,00o of income, four

STRIKE MORE DOUBTFUL

It does not seem possible but on the authority of statistics of the Railroad Labor Board, the pay of railroad em- ployes today averages $4.54 as com pared with s2.s7 in 1917. This includes the wage cut of about 12 1-2 per cent authorized July l..
 From these figures which we may consider at showing the situation some of the rail ys1rk,e-o seem to consider that the reconztI-dction since the war, has been finished, and that increasing salaries should go on just as though there had been no war. They, this one quarter, seem to think that they alone do not have to make sacrifices when everyone is doing so.
 There is great hope in the fact that 350,000 men decided yesterday, not to consider the walk gut" at present.
 Warren s. Stone, president of the Brotherhood of locomotive engineers, after asserting that they were not looking for or desirious of a strike, had been forced into this step because of the failure of the railroads to be guided by other decision of the Railroad Labor Board in regard to living condition and other matters. He said also.
 We are not now nor have we ever been, desirous of being party to pre- cipitating a strike, but when it is quite apparent that the railroads pro- pose to not only reduce wages but to take from those employees practical ly all the conditions of service that have been maintained for many years and the Railroad Labor Board is una. ble or fails to give us any assurance that the interests of the employees will be protected from such onslaughts by the interests that control the transpor- tation lines of our country, nothing is left for the employees but to stand or their constitutional rights to retire from the service of the carriers"
 But the strike situation is better The optimists have their day today

TRAFFIC.

The success or failure of traffic regulations is a matter of obedience to the traffic officers, according to New Britain traffic officers and ac- cording to Inspector May of Cleve- land, who has just\ completed a tour of European cities, and according to inquiry here.
 That obedience is matter of tenn perament, according to the belief. The English, for instance, are an obedient race. AS Englishmen all do things much more deliberately, and according to Hoyle," than will the Frenchman.
 The latter is much more apt to act impulsively and hurry on his way than is the Englishman-hence the better movement in traffic in Eng land than in France. In England the "Bobbie's" word is law. The American, driving through what they call "the city, namely the part of the city in which are located the offices, is apt to quite lose his | temper. At certain places, for a long distance, in the eastern section for instance, on gala day, one may scarce move, so slowly do the officers keep the procession going; here we | have to travel faster, and the traffic | officers realize this.
 The traffic policemen in this city, ii inclined to tell you all about it. say that drivers of motor vehicles are l pretty good scouts" If they dis obey the rules they are sorry and it is only because of mistake Strangers passing through are the more apt to break the regulations; citizens of the city, being we'll in- formed of the rules-most of them
 bring little trouble
 Q So, perhaps we may classify our selves as quicker movers, almost as careful as the Englishman, and fal
 ahead of the Frenchman. But there is always loom for improvement.
 May we obey the traffic officers stil more promptly and cheerfully.

air. The rules of navigation arc wrong, one teacher says. Showing on her flat map of the world that the Tropic of Cancer, 43 degrees from the North Pole Gin the center of the flat, circular wor1d) is much smaller cir- cle than the Tropic of Capricorn, AT degrees away, this teacher says:
 'Navigators on globular earth would find if they were to sail com- pletely around either of these tropics that they would be identically the same length. On flat earth, how ever, the Tropic of Capricorn would be much larger than the Tropic ot Cancer and would take much longer to sail around, because on a flat earth Cancer would be nearer the center, or north pole Why didn't some O.. tho globular-earth theory believers try sailing around two tropics and find out whether they or we are correct"
 With handicapa such al these, thousands of childrens are being brought up. Were they to live always in Zion City they might "get by" But the matter is too serious an ono to smile over and certainly, in time there will be a stop to the teaching | ot these alleged perverters of the truth.

WOMAN MURDERED,
 ARMY MAN SOUGHT
Victim Believed to Have Been Killed By Marine Stationed at Brooklyn
 Navy Yard.

New York, Oct. 24.-Quest for in- formation to clear up the murder of the young woman, part of whose dis membered body was found Saturday in a pond at Long Island City, led detectives today to the Brooklyn navy yard where a detachment of United States marines is stationed.
 Captain B. A. Moeller, U. S. M. C.. Identified the torso last night almost positively as that of a young woman who visited the navy yard recently in search of a marine corps ieuten- ant who, she declared, had wronged her. She left, he said, without sec ing the officer.
 Long Island City residents have told of seeing a man attired in what they took to be chauffeurs or rail. road mans uniform, dragging 2 bundle toward the pond where the | legless torso was found.
 Captain Moeller said he did not ob. tain the young woman's name but thai she lived in the Greenpoint section o1 Brooklyn. Efforts were being made to establish her identity there today
