R. Q. T. (. LECTURE
Principal Slade Urges Military Unit to Parade Tomorrow-Other Items of Interest to Pupils.

During the special period thls morning an assembly was held in the New Britain High school, at which the young men of the school were present. MT. Slade spoke of the part which the K. o. T. C. unit is to take in the parade tomorrow. The mem- bers of the unit are to report at the school at 1:30 o'clock in uniform. He asked the cooperation of all to make the part to be taken by the unit a success.
 A. s. Hancock, faculty director of the debating club then spoke few words about that organization. He said he wished to bring the question of debating and public speaking squarely before the young men of the school. The debating situation in the school is not what it hould be. In Hartford, there are three debating so- cieties for young men alone. In New Haven, there are two and at Meriden when debate is in progress the en- thusiasm is just as great as it is at a basketball game, MT, Hancock stat ed. There is no such interest at the New Britain school. There are a few men in the club who are good work CTS, but the trouble is that there are only a few. In past years, New Brit ain has had a record for winning de bates with Hartford and New Haven. The year before last the team lost one of the debates and last year it lost both of them. Another thing is that more veteran members are need ed in the club.
 In conclusion, Mir. Hancock said that he would like to meet all who have any ideas on the sub ject directly at the close of the fourth period in Room 21.
 A dime dance was held in the gym nasium at the close of the fourth period today under the auspices of the Art club Cheering practice was held between the dances. Music was fur n1shed by Clynes' orchestra.

Dealers Decide That Goods May Spoil
 If Not Unpacsed for Saturdays Trade

The marketmen of the city will not close at II o'clock on Friday for the rest of the day as will most of the other merchants of the city, but will reopen their places of business at p. m. At a meeting of the different dealers yesterday after the general meeting of the merchants the qucs- tion was talked over and it was de cided that because most of the goods which they deal in, are pcrishablc and because they receive them in such great quantities on Friday in prepa- ration for Saturday. which is the big day of the week, it will be nec- essary for them to keep their places of business open so as to unpack the goods or they will spoil by holding them over until Monday.
 This, however, will not affect the ex-service men in their employ, as all of the markctmcn who have any of the veterans working for them are only too glad to allow them to stay away from work to participate in the exercises of the day.

|. $. Has No Policy
Japan is Delaying

The exact status of Japan's new craft is not known. It is certain how ever that Japan has not started con- struCtiOn on all the super WarShips her eight and eight program would require. That fleet ratio, Baron kato said would not be achieved before 1928.
 The American program of 1916 re- affirmed by congress in later years but deferred during the war and greatly slowed down this year by limited appropriations is in much the same status. It includes six battleships and six battle cruisers. Reels of all have been laid. Actual work on con- struction of one battleship, the Massa- chusetts, has been stationary at about four per cent for several months Work on the other five ranged from 19 to 27 per cent. 1t is suggested that a cessation of naval increases for a period of years, perhaps decade may be proposed. It that should prove ac- ceptabe it is said, it might be fol- lowed by proposals to cancel ships laid down on ship-for-ship basis.
 In the light of Admiral Katos statement of Japans willingness to cut her program it is not clear how a ship-for-ship cancellation plan might be viewed by her representa- tives. Each ship struck off the list would mean a heavy proportionate reduction for Japan, it is said, than for Great Britain or the United States.
 many case naval officers point out, the question of naval replacements must be dealt with and some scheme evolved under which a naval status quo might be maintained if that were the desire of the conference. Also it it suggested, no naval power would be willing to stop all construction be- cause of the factor of advancement of knowledge in naval engineering which can be carried on only by building. That phase, it is said is cer- tain to be given attention.

 Icgcd Loan in January, 1920.

Arguments were heard before Judge Reed, as state referee, at the county building in Hartford yesterday, in the case of J. Cookish of this city against s. J. Jacobs, proprietor of Steve's Taxi Service. Coollsh claims that in January, 1920, he loaned S2,S80 to Jacobs and the money has never been repaid. Jacobs claimed that the money was paid in for a half inter est in the business. Judge Reed will try to ascertain if there was part nership between the two.
 Cookish was represented by Morti- mer II. Camp and Henry II. Hunt, and Jacobs by Michael A. Sexton.

 '. s. Has No Policy
 The American navy has no such definite objective It docs not repre- sent an ordered program of replace ment for maintaining any naval force on a fixed ration of battleships and battle cruisers.
 The old British two-power standard which governed the building power prior to 1914 went by the board with the German fleet. Britain is not today building any capital ships. Four new battle cruisers have ben authorized in the way of replacements for war loss es and to balance that side of the fleet, but they have not been laid down.

CITY LIKELY TO
 ENTER COMBINE
(Continucd From First Page)

supplies have been asked by towns not so fortunate to extend their sup piles into the petitioners towns.
 Chairman Rossbcrg and other members of the water board, together with engineers who have been In the employ of the city at one time or am other, have discussed informally the possibilities of the elaborate extension project In the absence of more deh- mite information, there could be no recommendations made, nor could the board act in the matter. However, the chairman and others are of the opin- ion that the plan is a feasible one.
 Would Increase supply
 With Gi square miles of exception ally fine watershed to draw upon, 1t is planned to establish a central dis tributing point near the east branch reservoir on the Pennington river, at Barlihamstead At Richards corner, New Hartford, where the Hartford water works has at present a con- pcnsatinE reservoir with an elevation of l23 feet and a capacity of three billion gallons, the plan would be to raise the dam 100 feet. The supply would thus be increased from three to 50 billions.
 The Hartford Ncpaug reservoir, the largest in the state, would also be utilized. With the thirty billion gal Ions at New Hartford, the Hartford reservoirs would then be in position to supply approximately forty billion gallons.
 What This City Could Do.
 New Britain, through it's various reservoirs, could furnish approximate ly the following amounts: Burling- ton, 1,6O0,000,000 gallons; Hart's Mills reserve, 86,0OO,OO0; Whigville reserve, 65,OO0,000; high service res- eryoir, 3,O00,0oO; Shuttle Meadow re- serve, 15O, 100000.
 Sizeable quantities would also be counted upon from the Middletown, Moridcn and Bristol water works. The various supplies would be diverted wherever most needed.
 state Commission Plan
 Such a proposition would make necessary the taking over by state commission of the Hartford works the value of which is about eight mil lions the New Britain works, worth approximately four millions; the Mcriden system which is valued at about two millions: the Bristol and Mcriden system, each of which Is worth in the neighborhood of a mil lion, as well as numerous smaller sys- tems and materials for further eX- tension of water resources.
 The expense of establishing such a plan would be borne by the cities and towns affected, according to their populations.
 City Could Save Money
 If such a proposition is put through shortly, it will not be nec- essary for the city to bear the eX- pcnscs of the proposed extensions to the water supply under the plan of Engineer Allen Hazen. This proposi- tion involves the expenditure of seV- eral millions. Chairman Rossberg of the water board has expressed him. self as in favor of considering the amalgamatiOn of water resources be- fore any more installments are under taken, and it probable that the mat ter will be brought before the next session of the board.

GOOD
ROADS
FEDERAL AID FOR HIGHWAYS
President Harding Insists That States
and Communities Keep Roads
in Repair

President Harding has touched up
on subject which 1t is to be hoped
he will develop in his communications
TO congress. and that is the subject of
federal participation in the building
of good roads. The government is
committed to the policy of co-operat-
ing with the states in road cOnstruc-
ton, and there is no disposition TO
depart from il, but the President is
emphatic in his insistence that the
states and communities shall assume
the responsibility of keeping their
roads in repair, which is only just
and fair proposition says Washington
Post. II the government is TO pay
out millions of the taxpayers money
to help pay for the construction OF
roads, only to see within a few years
these highways deteriorate into dis
use and decay, that money is wasted
The value Of good roads is now gen
orally recognized and the larger and
more progressive states have proved
that they are good investments. I'm
proved highways mean not only good
automobile roads, they mean cheaper
and better food, greater values in the
land, better opportunities for the
rural population. And they also pay
good dividends in the huge sums col
lected In license fees for motor We
hicles, enough in most instances to
pay the cost of repairs and improve
mentS.
The policy Of the government CO.
operating with the states in the cost
of road building has been a great in
cent!ve in the construction of better
highways and there is no doubt that
many thousands of miles of roads have
been built under this plan, which
otherwise would not have been under
taken. 1t should and doubtless will
be continued. but there should be an
expressed guarantee that roads built
under this cooperative plan are to be-
maintained and kept in good repair
This prominently is the duty of the
