No, it is safe to say that the ancient cave man did not allow his slave of the other sex to bob her hair, thus depriving him of the handle of auth or-
 it so easily grasped.
 We'll, the day of the real cave man has passed; the day of the imitation is passing The former slave has be- come the one who enslaves. The touching Of woman's hair by man has become privileged caress-especlal-
 ly if a hair net is worn.
 So why any objection to the bobblns
 of hair? Some women may do this as a declaration of emancipation from tyranny. .. Opinions differ to the attraction or the reverse of bobbed hair. We do not feel like abandoning the phrase that woman's hair is her crownlns glory, but many believe they would have a much more glorious crown were they to bob it and leave it short temporarily Others believe bobbins their hair would show a lack of good taste.
 | So none should, as a matter of prin- ciple, pronounce against bobbed hair

sILEsIAN QUESTION

When Lloyd George explained why the Supreme Council decided to~leave the Silesian question to the Council of the League of Nations, he made a significant remark: we have made concessions in the hope of a settle ment," he said, but the league, of course, cannot be bound by these They (the league) must review the whole matter from top to bottom, and we will accept the decision without murmur."
 It appears that Lloyd George is very anxious to notify the league Council in this informal way, that he does not believe it is necessary for England to make all the concessions to which she has agreed. He emphasizes the fast that they were concessions" made in the hope of settlement, not made from a sense of the justice of the demands Council of the league. to know that he does not believe the Council will do wrong if, having gone over the whole
 matter from top to bottom,' it de- cides that Great Britain made more | concessions than she should have done. 'E 'as 'opes''
 | Moreover when two people are the main figures in an argument, as l Briand and Lloyd George have been in
 this matter, and the one (Briand) is
 the more strong in his hatred-a just
 hatred-of the Germans than is the other, Lloyd George, the latter decides
 a far better chance of gaining an ad-
 vantage where the decision is left to a body of men all of whom have less l reason to hate and fear the Germans
 than has the one (Briand) to whom he was singly opposed.
 The reference of this matter to the League Council is, it is believed, some
 thing for which Lloyd George and
 Great Britain should be glad

GERMANY REGRETS
 SILESIAN DELAYS
Disappointed That Matter Has Not
 Been Settled

Berlin, Aug. 13 (By Associated Press)-Information regarding the decision of the supreme allied council to refer the Upper Silesian dispute to the league of nations was confined to brief bulletin received here late yesterday afternoon. The action of the council occasioned surprise in official circles and, while the govern ment declined to discuss the new situation there was an intimation that the Wirth cabinet was disappointed at the councils inability to reach a final and equitable decision.
 We chiefly regret the delay in- volved by the new procedure" cabi- net official declared, because it is calculated to prolong the hardships of the already sorely tried populace of Upper Silesia'' sF
 Discussing the differences between England and France, as reflected in reports of the deliberations in Paris, a German official said:
 Germany had no interest in pro- noting an actual break in the ranks of the entente. She has an abiding faith in the righteousness of her case respecting Upper Silesia and is quite willing to have the issue deeidediy by the council of the league"
 There is evident some apprehension regarding the nature of the attitude taken by the Poles, in view of the councils decision. It is asserted they prepared for a fresh invasion of the plebiscite area of Upper Silesia-

are becoming thinner and thinner When business was normal patronage was heavy and crowds could be seen waiting every day for the early aft ernoon trains. The situation has completely reversed itself. Those who assemble at the depot nowadays could be called group instead of a crowd. This applies particularly to the patronage in the direction of the Capital City. Three coaches are now sufficient to accommodate the residents of Bristol, Plainville and New Britain whose business or fancy calls them to Hartford on the 2:10 train, although heretofore it was often necessary to provide much longer train.
 Trainmen throughout the country report similar conditions. People either cannot afford to travel or refuse to pay the high mileage charges. This condition will probably continue until the railroad can see it's way clear to reduce rates and thereby bring travelling within the reach of those who were wont to patronize trains in the olden days. The chief topic of conversation among hardened travel CTS is in the high fares being charged. These veterans are of the opinion that she railroads could increase their in comes by reducing passenger rates and making travelling more attractive.

 Friends of jitneymen and users of jitneys are pleased to hear that Attor- ney General Healy will oppose the ap- peal of the Connecticut company against the decision of the Public Utili- ties commission to permit jitneys on certain routes in Bridgeport and other places.
 The attorney general is an official bound by his oath to defend the inter ests of the people. He differs from the General Assembly because that body can always slide from under when re- sponsibility for action or lack of action IS being fixed. As an individual, the attorney general cannot avoid blame if he fails to administer his office in the spirit as we'll as the letter of the law
 It is not the intention of the writer to create the impression that MT Healy will oppose the Connecticut company for fear of what may happen if h. doesn't. He has seen his duty clearly and first reports indicate that he will go to the limit of his power to prevent the usurpation of government by a pub lie service corporation
 The case of the people vs the Con- necticut company has now reached the stage of a "show down. The lead CTS of the company have been carried away with the belief that they are su- perior beings. If it is true, as claim ed, that the trolley company cannot make money with conditions as they are. then the hour has arrived for the trustees and the management to step politely aside and hand over their posts to men who can at least try to make money for the company by sound business practices.

THE COMFORT STATION

The members of the Comfort Sta ton Committee appointed by the Mayor, are going about the matter in last nights meeting is followed out.
 There have been three committees named to take care of the matter in which the people of this city and many who pass through it are inter ested. The two former committees were selected from the Common Coun- cil. They did their work and made reports, which are available for the use of the present committee. But with the making of the former re- ports the matter ended; the commit tees ceased to function!
 Now thirty thousand dollars has been authorized for this purpose. The people want the building and want it now. The money cannot be used for tions needs. It is probable that tho building itself will not cost the full $30,000. In such case authority may be given to make use of the extra amount-perhaps s2,50O, to maintain it until further action is taken as to such maintenance, and when data is available as to how much or how little will come in from privileges granted.
 Meanwhile. while the committee on detail is at work of investigating and consideration of data, the city plan ming commission should be consider ing the best location for such building. Although the sentiment of the persons present seemed to favor it's location at the south end of Central Park, such suggestion was merely tentative, and the decision is left to the city plan ming commission
 Irrespective of the question as to how many other cities have such buildings, and irrespective of their ap- pearance, New Britain should, have one and one that will add not only
 to the comfort of the people of the city, but also to their appreciation of
 it's beauty.
 1 A good work has been we'll started
 and should be prosecuted with energy
 in order that after three for four years
 of endeavor, the people may have
 what they want and what they have
 right to demand.

CAVE MEN AND ROBBED HAIR

No, there is no relation between the two-cave men and bobbed hair. In fact probably the cave man of ancient times, not their present day ineffective imitators, distinctly de- deprecated bobbed haIr-should any of the women of their times have dared to operate upon it in this man. ner.
 Not being quite certain as to our complete knowledge of the history of those times, when the cave man Wielded his club with wonderful will ingness; took what he desired and subsisted more or less on raw meat which tended to make him less con- siderate, less polished, we humbly acknowledge that some women did wear bobbed hair, possibly
 But if such were the fact it must have been distressingly ineonvenient for the cave man who was seized by . sudden desire to exercise his muscles e to impart especial emphasis to some command he had given his parti cular woman Were her hair bobbed how difficult it would have been fol him to grasp it and swing her abou the cave in which there probably hung some ancient insignia representins our Home, Sweet Home" of this day Were that hair bobbed the poor muscle bound male would undoubtedl. have to take a fresh hold every littl while, and it might be quite possible for the offending woman to shake her self free from this grasp.

LIGHTS AND SHADOWS
 By John J. Daly

SIMPLE. In years to come, perhaps, there'u be A simple soul in sympathy
 With wanderings of mine; A little lady, clear of eye, Who'll say, I'm yours until die"-
 A human heart divine. I say perhaps" that such theren be Who'd come and fare the with me;
 But I, I've lost all hope l fear there is no one like that Who'd dare to share my humble flat
 As barren a rope. Mayhap, for one can never tell There is some girl who'd love we'll,
 Who'd take narrow chance; A meek and humble maiden fair Who would not pause, nor stop nor care Until danced the dance. Yet, should there be such boon on earth I'd underestimate her worth.
 No purse could pay the toll; For, knowing me, as I do now, could not help but think, somehow,
 She'd be simple soul.

 A second operation may be neces- sary, however, his physicians said, for correction of an affection near the auditory nerve. No official mention was made in the physician's bulletin issued after the operation of a tu- nor of the brain, which the operation was reported to have disclosed.

THE STATE AND JITNEYs.

No surprise should be shown that the state will defend the action of the Public Utilities commission in grant ing certificates to certain jitneys, nor that it should fight to uphold the con- stitutionality of the new jitney law.
 The law was passed by the legis- 1ature of the state and it is the duty of tho Attorney General of the state to defend the consitutionality of laws passed by that body. Tn soIne in stances it might be conceived that . friendly case might be brought to Ind out if law passed was. in fact constitutional, befora the state went on with arrangements for it's enforce ment.
 Such, it is believed, is not the case In the matter of the jitney law. IL da believed that its constitutionality is defended because it is the desire of the state to be able to regulate the Atneys aa provided in tho law. In the interests of economy, however, the state is anxious to have the mat ter settled as quickly as possible.
 The same reasoning applies to the < states opposing the appeal of the Connecticut company from the ru1- tngs of tho Public Utilities commis- sion which gave certificates to jit- neys in Bridgeport. The commission b q creature of the state, and as such hAs . right to the aid of state off, eials in defending it's actions. Ger tainly If the court held that the com mission had no right to grant certi- ficates in these cases, it would cast grave doubt on the commission $ right to prevent the jitneys from run ming. 1t would cast shadow of dis repute upon the rulings of the com mission
 Were one to be cynical, one migh, suppose that the Connecticut com. pany appealed only in cases where the justice of the rulings of the com mission was clear. Certainly it does not appeal from decision such a! the certificate for the Arch street line where it has indicated it does no care whether the Jixneys run or not But the probability is that the appea is taken in good faith.
 Believing that the Public Utilite commission has shown a disposition to favor 1.-the Connecticut compan. ---it desires to establish that commis sion firmly, to make it appear to tn people as fair commission in orde that it's decisions in the future, in it favor. may be less questioned If tn granting of these certificates fror which the appeal is taken is affirm ed 1t will create a better feeling towar tho commission on the part of som of the people. If the decision is re versed. the company will gain fnan cially, but will lose the good tn cynic believes might be gained.
 But such af1rmance of the ruling i favor of these Bridgeport jitneys wi never convince people of New Bri tain that the commission have treate them fairly.

DETAILS OF COMET.
Astronomers Describe How Earth Passes Through Nebula.

Passes Through NebuIa.
 Heidelburg, Aug. 13. Brilliant light bands which took the form of a wreath running from west-north- west to east-southeast were produced by the tail of a comet through which the earth passed last Monday night, astronomers at the Koenigstuhl ob- servatory announced last night These light bands gradually faded from view with the approach of dawn.
 Observations taken at the univer- sity were said to have indicated that the head of the comet passed between the sun and earth and that the light from the comets tail moved from north to south. The astronomers predict the comet will again be visible to points in the southern hemisphere, where conditions for observations are favorable at the present time.
