CITY PLANNING

The suggestion that lot on the corner of Arch street and shuttle Meadow avenue may be purchased TOT the purpose of erecting school there brings up again the matter Of city planning. It is urgent that this gen. eral subject be given consideration be- fore the city is extended in all direc- tions with no general, proper scheme in mind, but rather after the manner of mining camp. It would seem that such location would be an ideal one for a school---this, without enter ing into comprehensive discussion of this matter. And if a school is built there no doubt exists but that the citys development in that direction will be more rapid. What sort of de- velopment is desired? Is that de- velopment to go on without any plan at all? Is Shuttle Meadow avenue to he lined with shops and small stores which will cater to children and resi- dents in cheap tenements that may be built?
 The owners of property in that sec tion will have decided opinions on the subject. The erection of school at that corner does not necessarily mean dnteriora tion in the residential char acter of that locality. It may add to It's desirability. But it might mean that very thing if no action is taken to decide what is best and to provide that the best arrangement shall ob- tain.
 ~ The Herald has raised this point before. But now it is time some &C., ton were taken. New Britain will ex- pand. The best residential district should not be made less desirable; the more modest residential sections should be kept as delightful as they are; the best business sections should not be allowed to be marred by bus iness buildings less worthy. No section of the city should be allowed to de- teriorate. The proper authorities should see to it that steps are taken at once to keep New Britain at least as beautiful as 1t is now.

THE RIGHT TO APPEAL

Because of the mi-military nature of police department and the need of strict discipline, it might not work to the advantage of the city to allow policemen to appeal from decisions of the commission. Permission to appeal is being sought by members of the force who have petitioned the com mission to recommend the change to the charter revision committee.
 Discipline Is. the backbone and the breath of life in we'll administered police department. Adams erring na- ture should always be and usually is considered when man who wears the blue is brought before his super iors on charges. In most instances extenuating circumstances tighten the penalty, in case a conviction is found. A mans past irreproachable record is always present as silent witness in his behalf and heed is given to it. Jus tice is frequently tempered with mer- cy. Dismissal from the police force has serious consequences in the after life of the man thus dealt with and the rules of fair play are not inten- tionally violated.
 On the other hand, the commission CTS realize that they are the repre- sentatives of social order which de- mands faithful discharge of duty on the part of its public servants and which would prefer to strengthen. rather than weaken, the control of the commissioners over their subordinates. To grant the police the right to ap- peal from official decisions would be step in the direction of weakened control and might be resented.
 There seems to be no special occa- sion just at this time for adding this amendment to the charter. There has been no charge of injustice brought against the present board of commits sioners. They appreciate the cooper ation of members of the force who show willingness to do their work well. At the same time, they are alert to sort out the undesirables. The former have nothing to fear; the more quickly the latter are removed from the ranks-granting that the species exists--the better it will be for all concerned. An amendment granting the right to appeal is not needed by the former; it should not be adopted simply for the protection of the latter

POPE ASKS RELIEF
 THROUGH HIS ENVOY
Catholic Nuncio Urges Lausanne Con- ference to Act to Protect Chris-
 tians in COnstantinople.

Lausanne, Dec. (By Associated Press) Representations were made to the Near East conference today by the Holy See on behalf of the Constantinople Christians.
 Monsignor Maglione, the nuncio of the Catholic church in Switzerland, presented communication to the president of the conference asking that prompt and efficacious methods be adopted to protect the various Christian populations of Constanti- nople whose situation the communi- cation state had become most alarm ing.
 The communication from the Vat dean was as follows:
 'The Holy See is receiving daily from Constantinople the most alarm ing news. The Christians of Euro pean nationality are panic stricken. Many have left and many others have not the means to leave. Those who wish to leave the city must promise in writing never to return. Their goods are sequestered and all possessions of Europeans and of re- ligious congregations are in the greatest peril There is general fear of the arrival of irregular bands and of disastrous consequences which may follow.
 "The Armenians arc terror-sticken. They have no refuge and are even more exposed than the others.
 Tn bringing these facts to the at tention of the Lausanne conference which was summoned to establish peace in the Orient, the Holy See begs 1t most earnestly in the name of humanity to adopt measures in the most prompt and efficacious manner to reassure the populations which already have been so cruelty strick- en-"
 AdMces from other sources, in- cluding those of American origin indicate that chaotic conditions pre- vail in the interior of Turkey with constant pressure brought to bear upon the Christians especially the Greeks and Armenians to leave Tur- key. American mail advices from smyrna confirm reports that all the British have received instructions to quit smyrna where the relief work is continuing in the hands of Amer jeans.

FORD ON CAR FARES

It is presumed that street railway experts will smile at the remarks of Henry Ford on that subject. Henry says many things that bring smile. But 1t must be allowed that the fiivver king often sheds a new light on inter- esting matters.
 Locally it has been argued that reduction of trolley fares to five cents over short hauls would increase the Connecticut company's business con- siderably; that receipts would be greater than they are at present. There has been some support to this argument in the trials of the five cent fare that have been made in nearby cities.
 It must be confessed, however, that this increase was expected to come from people who now walk, because of the high fares, instead of taking the trolley. Now along comes Henry Ford, who certainly would be suppos- ed to favor everyone's driving one of his fiivvers to work, and says that street car fares in Detroit should be cut in half and that the receipts of the street car company would thus be trebled. He does not say people would then ride who had previously walked. He says, on the contrary: "People would find they could ride cars so cheaply that many thousands who now drive to and from work would ride the street cars--the saving would be so considerable that they could not afford to drive" And all this. be it remembered, from man who would benefit financially if every one drove to and from work in one of the Ford cars.
 With parking space becoming so scarce owing to proper restrictions, there comes ray of sensible sunlight to these few words making them worthy of moments thought-even if they did come from Henry.

POOR OLD HoRsEl

Poor old horse He might just as well throw up his hands, metaphor ically speaking, for he has been given the most unkindest cut of all" No longer will he be housed in the cele- brated royal palace or England. The News" That great establishment Is to be torn down and a modern garage is to be built in it's place 10 accom- modate the numerous cars of the royal family,
 IL would seem that England has acted rather characteristically in this matter. U was a great many years after the furnace became fixture In all wcll-rcgnlated American homes, that England began to discard the fireplace as the sole method of heat ing homes and began to put in fur naces. Today, as there is built that great royal garage, England is some years behind the times. A garage ohouiu iaSN bctH Dult ySdIS d6Ob ol course. The strange part of it is that some people Of vision in this country while predicting continu- ance Of the present prosperity of the automobile industry, feel that the more wealthy are beginning to look again with admiration upon the horse for pleasure driving. It would not surprise them to see the extremely discriminating in this country begin to use fine animals for formal events as well as for sport. It would be sad spectacle to see England. after she had her great garage all built and her historic stable destroyed, feeling remorseful over the loss of that sacred building. Twenty minutes late" is an old expression-but per- haps it has been heard across the water by this time.

CAFE LOUNGERS ARE
 RAzzED IN HAVANA
Owners Of Places Remove Tables
 and They Must Stand

Havana, Cuba, Dec. 5-High rents are successfully supplementing the futile attempts of the law to elimi-' nate the more undesirable features of that ancient Latin institution--the corner cafe loafer. Taking their cue from the high efficiency cigar stores and quick lunch counters of the United States, several Havana cafe owners, who are paying top prices for choice locations, have rid them selves of the drones who crowd their establishments and drive away clients. Remove Tables
 They have removed the convenient tables and chairs enlarged their bars and counters where coffee and other refreshments are served, and adopted other methods to assure quick ser vice and speedy profits. The group of domino players who spent about 50 cents day and occupied the best table, has been forced to move. The political orator soon tires if he cannot sit down occasionally. The whole tribe of loiterers finds 1t hard to pass a few hours in cafe where the bar is swabbed continually with a wet cloth, to the detriment of carelessly placed elbows, and white shoes suffer from constantly moving mop.
 While the practice has improved sales and increased profits, nobody yet has endeavored to learn whether the reform has pleased the weaker sex. It is common belief that the first time a Cuban matron runs the gauntlet in front of any one of the popular down town cafes without ex- citing comment from the gallants lounging there, she goes home to weep for her lost youth and feminine fa aci tion
