THE POLICE.

We don't often realize, when we
 see a policeman covering his beat, that he is member of the organiza- xtion we simply could not get along eswithout. If some super-fen ap- peared and told the people of the ' city that he was going to strike dead Immediately all members of some one organization in the city, all the off, cers and workers in some one institu- ton, we would beg that super-fend, if we stopped to think, to spare the police. We simply could not live in peace and safety without them. The telephone, the telegraph and even the radio now would immediately send word over the country. were we to lose our policemen, that New Britain was undefended. Every crook within miles would make a dash for New Britain. Every person criminally in clined in our city-but of course there are few such persons-would get busy.
 Of course the situation would be remedied quickly, but the remedy would not be very effective with a disorganized group of men trying to do the work our policemen do so well. It is wise to remember, there fore that, although we might get along for a few days without the splendid common council. without our fine courts, without our churches, even, and without almost any other organization, we could not get along for day without our police.
 The department wants ten more men. We should see that the depart. ment gets those ten men-and other things, in reason, that it wants.

COAL.


 It would take considerable figuring by those who have intimate knowl-
 edge of the many details of the cost
 of coal, to decide whether or not
 there has been a reduction in the
 price of coal here. At any rate peo-
 pie will be able to get ton for less
 money, the price ranging from si6.So to sl7.6O a ton. and will be prac- tically compelled to use sensible mixture. In this regard the new arr rangement is to be commended.
 Moreover. If straight sized: tons are removed from the market and the rule is rigidly obeyed. those in moderate means may feel that the new arrangement takes them into consideration rather than those who insist upon getting exactly the kind of coal they want, and only that. and are willing to pay the price for it. This rule, if conscientlously obeycd, will certainly release for the benefit of the small consumer much coal of the sizes most to be desired. As the majority Of the people of the city are of this class, again may the new plan be approved,
 New Britain has now done what the dispatches of today say New York State has done. or course If the coal were to be mixed before delivery con- sumers would be compelled to use the less desirable coal. But as coal Of thu latter character has its special uses and should be used a certain way, mixing before delivery would be unwise and is not compelled. It is believed people will see the wisdom of making use of these smaller sizes, and perhaps some soft coal, as the fuel administrators see the necessity. It must not be forgotten that there will be a shortage of the coal that is most desired in New Britain. The mild weather will not last forever. The new arrangement, all things con- ,idered, may be said to be wise one.

THE CHRISTMAS TREE.

The annual appeal for funds for the Community Christmas tree has been made. Appeals, appeals" someone, cries. When will there be decrease in the number of ap- peals?"
 The cry is natural and many sym pathize with it. But we simply can't begin cutting down on the number of appeals by giving the cold shoulder to the children at Christmas time Probably no adult knows the joy that brilliantly-lighted symbol of the com ing of Peace and Happiness to the world gives to the children each year-children who don't have much joy, many of them. But 1t is worth while for every grown person to stop "a minute and try to think back through the years and try to realize what it would have meant to him or her-what it did mean to him, per- haps-to be taken down to the cen ter, in the dark, or to go there at Christmas time and to see that big tree all glowing with lights.
 Last year perhaps the greatest wis dom was not shown in buying the tree. Perhaps too much was paid for it. But it is believed this mistake was seen at the time by those inter- ested and plans made to correct this error At any rate the children must have their tree. New Britain is not the sort of city to frown at them and declare that. it will not be gen. erous to them-not at Christmas time.

CHRISTMAS MAIL.

Attention is called to the sugges
 tions regarding Christmas mail made
 by Postmaster w. r. Delaney. Post.
 master Delaney has devoted consid.
 erable time to explaining, by prac.
 tica demonstration. to a representa-
 tive of this newspaper, the reasons
 fer his requests and the good results
 that would follow their observance. Quite aside from the suggestions
 already published. interesting side
 lights appear when the workings Of
 the post office are investigated. The
 custom. for instance, of placing a stamp on the upper right hand corner
 of letter, exists with reason.
 When some fifty thousand letters are
 run through the cancelling machine
 in short time. it is possible to make such stamp cancellation effective only
 if the stamp is in the proper place. The machine makes it's imprint on the upper right hand corner. If the stamp is somewhere else. the stamp is not cancelled. Letters upon which the stamp or stamps are placed too low on the right side of the letter, or are on the left hand side, must be sorted out from the rest and stamped by hand. This takes time, delays matters, and works to the disadvan- tage of the people.
 The matter of the small en- velope will undoubtedly be corrected in time. The matter should be taken up with the manufacturers of cards and envelopes. Undoubtedly sending them through the mails does cause delay. Merchants will undoubtedly consider this in purchasing cards an- other year and will discontinue the selling of the tiny ones unless their customers demand them. Inquiry has shown that some of the merchants have done this already.
 Interesting human stories may be found in the tales told by Postmaster Delaney. illustrating, for example, the ! anxiety that may be caused by fail- ure to address letters and cards prop erly. One or two instances have occurred where cards would come to he office, bearing no address which 'ead something like this: Dear Mamma: got here safe and all light. Aunt Lizzie met me. I am ,endin' this rite away cause I knowed you would be awful worried if you 1idn't here rite away. Kiss papa. love you mama. Your little Nellie."
 One may imagine the anxiety of mother when such a card did not each her. But there is absolutely 10 way for the post office officials to ind the person for whom it is intend d. This illustrates the necessity of making sure that all mail is ad- ressed properly.
 There are similar illustrations which emphasize the wisdom of the made by the Postmaster. he postal worlers are public serv- nts and want to serve well. They ake pride in their work and in the niciency of our post office. At this inc of the year, especially, they ask s all to help them serve us well.

Pershing Says
American Flag
Stands For Law

ALLENTOWN. Pa, June II The
American flag stands for the rule of
law and the preservation of order
under a government where all may
enjoy equality or right" General
Pershing declared here today speak
ing at the one hundred forty fifth
anniversary of the borth of the flag.
But let us be forewarned," he
added that its full significance will
one day diminished unless we resolve
to live up to our obligations to live
up to the principle for which it
stands"
The old purely democratic form of
government which found it's express
sion in town meetings was impossible
under present conditions General
Pershing said and the system provid-
ed in the costitution was that I'VE
designate others to act for us"
''And yet" he continued, "there are
many important questions of govern
mental policy that we refer to the
direct vote of the people that might
better be determined by trained ex-
perts. "This in turn implied he said
the greater necessity of selecting in
telligent and patriotic men to repre-
sent u.s."
Safety OF the flag, General Per-
shing insisted depended on mainten-
ance of a navy and an army "of
moderate size trained to the highest
point of efficiency"
An adequate merchant marine, he
said was essential to commercial SUI
premacy in time of peace, and in
dispesable to success in times of
war"

Come On Over" has a tenderness

overpowering wave of fun that will

that the patron will have enjoyed
seeing.
There's a real love story in it, of
the young Irishman who has come

heart behind and who fails to hold

when she finds another way across
