STUDYING TRAFFIC.

Occasion has been taken in these columns 10 commend members of the common council for the time they give to working for the city. expend- ing time and sometimes money In the interest of the people. It ia now reported that members of the ordi- nance committee of the common council are planning to visit several cities fin the state this week for the purpose of studying methods Of ham ding traffic, which may be applied to local conditions.
 Very good. We are able to learn from all sources, But the visits to other cities and the study Of traffic conditions there should be secondary to the study of conditions here. One full day spent watching various con- gested points here, and watching the effect Of unlimited" parking in vari- ous places. would bring greater re- suits than three days or week study ing conditions elsewhere. Traffic con- ditions present purely local problems. They vary in different cities and in different points in the sanse city.
 And there is this further caution which should be borne in mind. The members of the committee having the traffic and parking ordinances in charge should disassociate their own, personal interests from the interests of the people whom they are to con- sider--all the people. The ordinances should be such as will. benefit and accommodate the greatest number of the people in the city.

JUST SENTIMENT.

Merely as a mark Of respect and honor and in recognition of the new order, the taking of tho oath of office as a United States Senator by Mrs. w. H. Felton, the grand old lady of Georgia" cannot be passed by without respectful comment. It Is peculiarly fitting that such an one as she. repre- senting the traditional honor in which woman has been held, should be the first to receive this signal tribute which introduces woman into the highest political council of the world. Such introduction cannot fail to be a good omen for the participation of women in state affairs that Is inevit- able. Those who believe filmly in the intelligence of women and their right to sit in the world councils may well feel; also, that their position in those councils will be all the stronger if they maintain the nobility of women as represented by this grand old lady of Georgia" and demand, as their right, that courtesy and respect from men which was shown always toward such as she, the first woman to sit in the greatest deliberative body in the world.

COURTEOUS CLEsrENCEAU.
Clemenceau has said that when

Clemenceau has said that when he visited America fifty years ago he thought the beauty of American women could not be improved upon. But, he adds, he has decided that the American women of today are more beautiful even, than they were then. The great Frenchman is staying at the home of Charles Dana Gib- son, the famous artist Anyone who knew Irene Langhorn, who became Mrs. Charles Dana Gibson, a quarter of century ago, was inclined to see in her the personiflcation of the beauty of American glrhood. As she did not influence Clemenceau's judg- ment half century ago, it is quite possible that the traditional courtesy of the French inspired his comment on the beauty of American woman of today. The man of France is at an age when he is able to see beauty even In the mature.
 It is even possible that Clemcnceau rather likes the fiapper style---or the modified f1apper style that is more noticeable in New York today. It is probable, however, that when he spoke of American beauty In women he did not have before his minds eye the beauty that parades the streets of the great city. Rather, 1t

COAL PRICE SET AT $l8.5O
 FOR PERIOD OF TWO WEEKS

tain whether 1t Is possible to pur- chase at n lower price at the mines If this can be accomplished and the dealers can get through at T price of sls.b0 or less, without sustaining my serious losses. New Britain will have cheaper coal all winter.
 One of the main objections voiced by the dealers to dropping the price is that the coal companies insist up on them buying car of buckwheat for every car of larger sizes, While buckwheat is anthracite coal. it is a very fine steam size. and not very de- sirable for domestic uses. although 1t can be used in furnaces and is pref erable to soft coal. But people win not buy the buckwheat and there is q dead loss because of this, which boosts the price to the dealer.
 One dealer fatly told MT. Christ that if people would buy 300 pounds of buckwheat mixed with 1700 pounds of nut, stove or egg he would sell 1t at si7 a ton. It was announced that if customers will take one-third buck wheat with their larger sizes their regular dealer will be permitted to supply them with any quantity up to five tons, if he has the coal.
 Even if they kept on selling coal at $20 ton right now. one local dealer stated that 1t would be impos- sible to show a profit on the average business done in the last IS months.

SWEDISH LUTHERAN
 PASTOR INSTALLED
Rev. Dr. Abel Ahlquist Formally
 -InduCted Into Office

For the first time in o7 years. in- stallation exercises were held in the swedish Lutheran church last evening when Rev. Abel Ahlquist, the new pastor who succeeded Rev. Dr. s. c. ohman, now In New York City. was installed in the presence of n large congregation. The church was well filled by the older generation of the church who. remembering the same exercises 27 years ago, when Dr. Ohman was installed, recalled those days as they took part in tho pro gram. slightly changed, last night.
 Rev. s. c. Hegglund of Boston, president of the New England Con- ference, was the principal speaker and had charge of the exercises. He was assisted by the ministers of the Hart ford District.
 The services commenced at S o'clock and the members of the church board, followed by the visiting pastors and Rev. Dr. Ahlquist, filed slowly down the aisle. They took their places at the altar and following the usual rites, pr. Ahlquist was forr mally installed. ~
 Asks Upsala Support.
 Dr. Ahlquist, in his address. paid a glowing tribute to Dr. Ohman and for his services rendered at the church. The new pastor asked for the support of his congregation and for their cooperation, which has helped him in his new duties.
 Dr. Ahlquist made plea for the Upsala college fund which is being raised here. To date, about $15,000 has been raised in New Britain and this is expected to pass $1s;O0O Soon.
 Dr. Ahlquist introduced Rev. A. J. Okerbloom of Bridgeport, who has charge of the drive in Connecticut. Rev. MT. Okerbloom reported that to date, approximately s75,357 had been raised in this state. The quota is 90,000., Altogether $3S7,000 has been raised so far and Upsaa college needs S4o0.0oo to carry on the work. Rev. MT. Okerbloom thanked the for their contributions and hoped this city would reach the $16,000 mark.
 Rev. C.. H. Nelson of New Haven, head of the drive in the Hartford district, also made an appeal for the fund and expressed confidence that this city would support ' the urgent cause.
 Attending Pastors.
 The following are the ministers who attended the installation exer- cises:
 Rev. F.. Ceder of Portland; Rev. G. A. Carlson of Bridgeport; Rev. Hill mar Larson of Naugatuck; Rev. o. A. Hjelm of Bristol; Rev. 0. A. Bom- gren of Meriden; Rev. c. A.

The coal situation instead of grow ing clearer, becomes more complex. The one significant fact is that the dealers-all of them-do not want < the people to become excited and scared and rush to buy coal. They are hoping for warm weather as are coal consumers When inquiry is made of them and they find out the inquirer has anything to do with a newspaper they urge that the people be not frightened into rushing and buying coal. That does not look. as though they were behind propaganda threatening shortage in order that they may profit by the present high prices.
 On the other hand the people along the street insist that the dealers are gouging the public. They talk" but will not state facts and figures upon which one who wants to find out the truth can base an opinion. One coal dealer insists that $2o a ton has been outrageous. But even that dealer does not talk of coal on hand but rather what has been promised him in ten days He Is supplying his cus- toners and has been supplying them at a reasonable figure. He appears honest in his belief.
 Then one turns to another dealer, who has plenty of coal, and who says he could sell any quantity of 1t to Hartford people at $20 ton; that he has sold some but has put stop to 1t, fearing inability to get coal later Some of the dealers say that the reduction to $1S.50 Is mistake be- cause they will not go out and buy coal at the price they have to pay for 1t, although they can get it at that price now, and these dealers fear that in couple of weeks, perhaps they will not be able to get coal even at that high price.
 We are informed that in Bridge port, New Haven, New London, Mid dletown and even Hartford the freight is 76 cents a ton cheaper than it is to New Britain, because there there is "water rate" We are told of individual cases where persons have been utterly unable to get coal at all.
 In this city the Citizens Coal Com pany has about 1900 tons of coal used for domestic purposes. which will be sold for two weeks at s1s.50. After that they do not know what they will do unless they can get com pany coal. The City Coal and Wood company has good supply, but will not sell to parties in Hartford, for instance, believing that it will be difficult to get coal at any price after couple of weeks. and they note the empty coal yards here. Shurberg has bout 1000 tons, a two-wecks supply to be sold at $1S.50. ]. r. Sullivan has been supplying his customers at s1S.o0. Berson Brothers have about TOO tons, some of it pea coal, and are able to sell at $500 because only portion of the coal is company coal Stanley Svea has about 200 tons, price s1S.5o, and Cohn's Coal company has about 100 tons, price s1s.o0.
 Those are the figures. The dealers who have the largest supply do not know how long the reduced price can continue or whether they will be able to have plenty of coal if the people become frightened. They seem hon cstly anxious. If they arc misrepre- tentins the facts they should go upon

DROUGHT IS SERIOUS
No Rain Since July in Johnstown District--Factories May Have To Suspend Operations.

Philadelphia, Nov. 23.-Pennsyl- vania is experiencing one of the worst droughts in its history. Johnstown, the scene of one of the most disas- trous floods on record, now is the most acutely affected by the dry spell which dates back to July. If there is no relief in the next three days, the Cambria Steel Co. will be com pelled to reduce operations by 50 per cent.> throwing 5000 men out of employment.
 The situation also is becoming seri- ous in the coal regions where rcduc- ton, and in some cases suspension of operations, seems imminent. Many already have taken unusual precautions to conserve their water supplies. Some small mines have suspended operations.

CUTTING OFF THE PARK.

ABdlH " ib pToposeu, Dy Some iHuI-
 viduals, to cut liberal slice of the
 park at the center of the city. Citi-
 zens Of the community should pro-
 test forcibly against such action, 1t
 would be dissertation of public
 property to serve private interests to
 eliminate even one tree from the
 patch of green which sets off the sur
 roundings of the business center.
 The traffic problem in the center Is
 becoming acute. there must be some
 steps taken to remedy matters. Mer-
 chants who object to one way traffic for all automobiles have chosen the cutting of the park as a remedy. In
 other words, in an effort to keep the
 maximum amount of trade going by their places of business they have asked the public to give of its prop erty. But it is our belief that, in the conception that rem owing a portion of the park will serve the desired pur- pose, they are mistaken. Imagine West Main street cut diagonally across the park to Church street. Imagine the large triangle of pavement ere ated by this act. How many machines could cut across it at any angle? Suppose a driver was coming out of Church street to go up West Main Could he go direct? Not at all. He would have too many machines com ing the opposite direction to meet. For the sake of order he would have to be routed well towards the National bank corner before turning to his left How about the driver coming the other way and bound north on Main street? He would continue along with the car tracks, finally turning to the left and not using the large area at all. The part that Is gained by cutting off the park might allow several cars to travel abreast toward West Main street. But what is the use of making this space to feed" street which will not take more than one car in one direction
 As for cutting off the west side of the park. What is to be gained pro- viding one way traffic Is not used | We should simply be creating a broader thoroughfare to feed from or into the triangle at the south of the park, which is impossible for auto- mobiles because of trolley cars and pedestrians practically all of the time that traffic Is congested in other sec tions.
 By doing all that has been sug- gested there is no one danger spot" Ca point where traffic crosses at an angle) eliminated, in fact there is at least one more created. Routing of traffic in an orderly, systematic man. ner. bearing in mind that as many VI OSSiHBc uS pOoSlDlc IHusl pe QOne away with Is the answer to the traffic problem. One way on the west side of the park, one way on the east and one way side streets as feeders to the main stream is proper, 1t will be adopted some day, and 1t would not cost the city one cent in actual cash or in real estate to try 1t until it is proven impractical, which it will not be. The other plan, which we sub- init will make little or no difference, will be Costly in moving water hy- drants and making repairs and we shall lose a little of the natural beauty we have at the center for good should the experiment be imprac- tical.
