complaints were indefinite the blame was not fixed; those outside the city administration were unwilling to make their facts public; definite re- sponsibility could not be fixed. Apparently no responsibility has been placed on anyone. But is it satisfactory to know that the matter has been taken up.
 To make criticism of value some thing constructive should be suggest ed. No one person may be called to task at this time; it is intended than no one should here be criticised,s
 But the suggestion is made that much of the responsibility for the condition of the city cars should rest with those who drive them and th& mechanic. The latter can do nothing, or very little. without the cooperation of the drivere of the cars. Those who drive can do little without the mechanics cooperation.
 It should be the duty of those who operate the city cars to call the at- tention of the mechanic to any trouble with the car, and it should be the duty of the mechanic to try to rem edy the defect before it becomes chronic. If the mechanic is absent at the time the car is returned, and thus the driver may not speak of the car trouble, that driver should make it a point to let the mechanic know of the difficulty before the car is used again. Perfect cooperation and care would do away with much of the trouble and would save the city considerable expense. And it is be- lieved cooperation will be given gladly.
 It goes without saying that use of city cars except on city business, should be prohibited absolutely. A car sometimes may be legitimately used after hours" As a rule, how ever, such after hour use is not legiti- mate. It must be stopped.

ture which calamity howlers insist on circulating, the workingman who bought Liberty Bonds during the war is now peddling them along the curb like fruit dealers in New York's Low CT East Side peddle bananas. This is far from being true, even conceding that many people have been forced to sell. The latest returns on the Lib erty Bond situation are based on con sditions in December, 1920S report of which has been recently made public. This report showed that during the war, there were sold in the United States, bonds and federal certificates of various types valued at $21, ,0O0,- 000, 0,000-twenty-o billion ss dollars. According to the report as of Decem- Der, 1920,s national banks owned slightly more than $2,000,e00,0 poo worth; state banks, trust companies, etc, held slightly less than $1, 900, ,000,- 900. This brings forcibly to attention that the people-an the Smihs, Joneses and Johnsons in the country held government war certificates valued at nearly $1S,000,000,000 as recently as six months ago.
 No doubt, part of this has changed hands, but it is such a tremendous amount that by far the greater part must still remain in the possession of the original buyers. Gradually it may be liquidated by the present holders as the depression continues but today it constitutes a reservoir of

One of the surprises of the period of business depression has been the continued buying power of the nublic in spite of greatly reduced income. 1t is true that the"buyers' strike brought about a reversal of business conditions, but the reserve buying strength of the people spread out thin has prevented the absolutestagnation of trade and has kept a great many tradesmen threading water"
 Without going deeply into the sub- ject, it would seem that the shrink age in the income of the average man, being so precipitate, would force him to desist from buying anything ex- cept the essentials of life. An inves- tisation will show, however, that he is doing more than this. His wife and children are we'll clothed and he is far from being in rags and tatters. His table may not groan under a ten course dinner when meal time comes, but he has enough to eat. Frequent ly he has an automobile and by cut ting down on the weekly allowance is enabled to have short outings at the wheel of his "galloping six" Taker' all in all, MT Average American is in fairly comfortable circumstances and his reserve buying power is still strong.
 Now for the answer: Liberty Bonds. No, they haven't all been sold, nor have they been cornered by the bank CTS. According to one depressing pie

THE CORNERSTONE.

| Yesterday afternoon. in the purest light knQwn to man-the glow of brillisht sun-the cornerstone of a new. church was laid in New Britain. The thoughts. the hopes, the ideals which influenced those who officiated at and who attended the ceremonial of the real beginning of the material | foundation of St. Marks, partook, as far as is humanIy possible. of the character of that light from the skies.

purchasing power that the merchant should remember when he complains that "the public is broke.'
 An interesting story is told of Nat Duke, traffic manager of the D. L.. and w. railroad, who addressed New Brit ain traffic men at a meeting in the Shuttle Meadow clubhouse Wednes- day afternoon. More than twenty five years ago, MT. Duke entered the employ of the D. L.. and w. and his first assignment was to come to New Britain seeking new business. His first customer was Fred G. Russell now traffic manager for Landers,Fra & Clark Manufacturing company. MT Russell was present at the dinner Wednesday and he and MT. Duke brought up the old days when they were just getting a good start or their respective careers.
 It is happy coincidence in connec- tion with the expected visit of Rev. pr. Russell H. Conwell of Philadelphia to this city that an interview with the famous preacher appears in the current issue of the American mag azine. The interview is in the form of a dialogue with Bruce Barton, one of the leading writers of the pres ent generation, and in it pr. Conwell lays bare the wisdom that he has ac- cunt lated during his long experience of rubbing elbows with the world.
 The magazine prints the following brief resume of pr. Conwell's life:
 Russell H. Conwell has had a won derful career. For many years he has been pastor of the Baptist Temple in Philadelphia, the largest Protestant church in America, at a salary of $10,000 a year. He has delivered about 10000 lectures all over the United States at an average profit of S150 each, and he has turned over every cent to poor boys who were try ing to work their way through col lege. Over 5000 young men have been the beneficiaries of pr. Con- wells generosity. Many of them never knew the source of the gift that made a continuation of their studies pos- sible. If the money pr. Conwell has earned and given away had been in- vested at 6 per cent compound inter est at the time it was earned he
