PETER MANNING'S FEAT

The breaking of the historic Char ter Oak Park track trotting record by Peter Manning, who negotiated the mile in a strong wind in the remark able time of 1.59A Wednesday, brings back memories of the development not only of the trotter but also of the vehicle which the racer pulls in bis attempts to lower marks which have stood for some time. Charter Oak park has been the scene of many splendid contests in this splendid sport, and it is quite fitting that note should be made of this achievement performed on it's track at time when renewed interest in the horse is in evidence.
 Comparatively few people remem- Der well the high wheeled sulky to which the harness racer was hitched years ago and which later was chang ed to the sulky with the pneumatic tired wheels which cut many seconds off the time it took to cover the mile. Shortly after the bike" sulky had been universally adopted the trotting stallion 'Directum' attempted to break the old high-wheel mark at Cleveland, if memory serves. The best he could do was to trot mile in 2:1s, his own record, made to a bike" sulky, being many seconds lower. At that time it seemed impossible for horse to trot the mile in less than two minutes and yet that time has come and raises the question whether or not the limit of speed of animals will ever be reached. There is limit, of course, out as continual halving ot Lhe remainder will never produce the

HAIR NETS

News comes from China that they are getting worried over there because the demand for hair nets, if the mar ket in China is any criterion, is falling off. Some 10000 persons are employed in hair net factories in China, and now that the Chinese are discarding their pigtails because it is a Republic and the wearing of the adornment is no longer required to show a condition of servitude, there Is a lot of surplus hair floating around. There seems to be no place for this hair, if it cannot be used for the making of hairnets. And If European women do not want hair nets what's the use of making them?
 Always have we approved of hair nets. A girl or woman may bob her hair--a thing of which we approve also in certain cases-and be comfort able in the hot weather and also be
 
 somewhere. Then, when the occasion demands more or less formality, she can bind those bobbed locks in some mysterious manner with the aid of the hair net and look quite dignified to the everlasting satisfaction of the dear. good people who believe there can be no beauty in the bobbed. We do hope, therefore, that the hair net will not become obsolete. We like it occasionally. Moreover we presume that~they are entirely sanitary and free from any taint of Chinese atmos- phere as they certainly add to the decorum and dignity of the female world. We might even be said to boost the hair net Even though they are all made of Chinese pigtails we still maintain our stand, and we hope that the emancipation of the Chinese from

MRS. HARpING,s ILLNESS

The illness of the wife of President Harding has assumed the serious aspect which brings to her husband the sympathy of all the people In his extreme anxiety. Her own condition is undoubtedly made the more criti- cal by the concern she must feel that this additional worry should have come to him at a time when the cares of the people of the country oppress him, and thought for their welfare Is uppermost in his mind.
 Whatever mistakes of Judgement President Harding may be believed to have made, or however he may have been criticized for his acts or failure to act there have come no innuendoes casting reflection upon his honesty of purpose and no belittling of the rec titude of the intentions which have governed him. He felt from the bot tom of his heart the words he spoke in his inaugural address as to the solemn responsibility of his ofice and friends and enemies believe that he has tried to live up to those words. To such man the critical illness of his wife Is blow the severity of which cannot be compared to anxie- ties of any other nature. The people of the country pray for Mrs. Harding's recovery and would make this time of anxiety for President Harding as easy to face as possible by an expression of their faith in the honesty of his pur- pose,

 In support of his statement he pointed to the contest which George A. Quigley had when he first ran for the nomination, the result being that he got 1t and was victorious in the election by the largest plurality any candidate for mayor ever received.

 Developments follow each other so fast in politics that 1t Is almost im- possible to keep abreast of the times. Out of the clouds that rolled in the wake of the dispute between State Chairman J. Henry Roraback and the Ullman- -Healy-King faction of the re- publican party comes the announce ment that Senator Arthur E. Bowers of South Manchester is willing to &C., cept the party nomination for lieuten- ant governor If the nominee for first place on the ticket is not Hartford county man. Already his announce ment is being interpreted in demo- cratic circles as a forerunner of a movement against Governor Everett J. Lake. whose home is in this county It is said that Bowers candidacy may have the approval of Roraback, there- by placing Governor Lake on the shelf so far as renomination is concerned If Roraback should ap- prove, of Bowers aspirations 1t would be an open avowal of his opposition to Governor Lake.
 It will be recalled that the gover- nor was compromise choice agreed upon at the republican convention two years ago because there did not seem to be a possibility of the dele gates harmonizing On any of the fac tional candidates. The convention had reached situation where 1t could not go forward, when the name of Lake was mentioned. Immediately, support for the present governor ran through the crowd like a prairie fire and he was quickly put in nomina- ton and endorsed. This was not the program mapped out by Roraback, but he was forced to be content and bide his time until 1922 arrived. It is said now that he is prepared to name his own candidate, and it is not thought that the name will be that of Governor Lake unless J. Henry de- cides that further internal dissensions in the party would threaten success at the November polls.

ton are disputed by Representative Will R. Wood of Indiana, whose po- sition with the G. O. P. is similar to that of Rouse with the democrats.
 Wood says that the republicans will retain control of the house of repre- sentatives by about 40 votes. This Is an admission that there will be a turnover of 64 votes in favor of tho democrats, fs
 Rouse predicts that the democrats will gain 76 seats now held by the opposition. If his forecast Is accur- ate. this would leave the republicans In control of the house by IS votes. Among the 26 states where he expects to make gains Is Connecticut, but he fails to say just which republicans are scheduled to take a ride on the toboggan.
 Owners of property along the Con. necticut shore should be interested in the talk of Dr. Edward H. Jenkins at a public health meeting in New Haven this week, his subject being the mosquito plague which struch Connecticut as well as other seaboard states this summer. Dr. Jenkins said that all breeding places of mosquitoes should be hunted down and the fur. ther affliction prevented.
 Nearly everyone who had occasion to go to the shore this past summer remarked upon the number and vi- ciousness of the mosquitoes which made life uncomfortable. The mos- quito question is one which can af- feet the value of shore property and unless the owners take concerted acc ton in cooperation with health au- thorities the popularity of the coast as a summer resort will be diminished. It is a subject big enough for discus- sion at the next session of the legis- lature. Perhaps 1t will be necessary for the state to take action before the pest is eliminated.

1.-THE COURT STILL WITH YOU"

Public opinion is, in the final anal ysis. the judge which settles strikes Public opinion" is not here referred to as the opinion of that large body of people which remains after strikers and employers are eliminated. Pub lie opinion" In the sense here used, includes both classes and all the peo- pie as well. Thus into the opinion that settles strikes there enters the be- lief of the general public which is not affected directly by the terms of the strike settlement, the opinion of the strikers as influenced by the opinion of the general public, and the opin- ion of employers, influenced, to less degree perhaps. by that same general opinion.
 Tn the present strikes that public opinion, affected of course by the threatened suffering that would come, was in favor of almost any settle ment of the strike. Many sympathized with labor and many were not so sure that the employers were fair with their men, but nevertheless the pre- ponderance of opinion was with those who came now from one side and now from the other and who tried to formulate an agreement which would bring resumption of the mining of coal and regular transportation.
 This was the attitude of the great judge, public opinion" when Attor- ney General Daugherty asked the court for his wide injunction and when labor came back with demand for the Impeachment of the Attorney General and the judge which granted the injunction. All of which reminds of the story of the lawyer who rose to make his final argument to the court on case before it.
 The august judge, looking down over his glasses at the ambitious and 
 ed: There is no need of your mak- ing your argument, MT. Doe"
 But" protested the lawyer, T have prepared my argument and I have the right to present it."
 Really, MT. Doe" returned the judge, T say agai1i' there is no neces- sity for your arguing this case for your client
 But my client expects me to argue the case" cried the attorney. He will think I have not done my duty if I do not make the argument, Really, I insist upon making the argument"
 Wearily the judge looked down upon the man and nodded his wise head. Very well, MT. Doe; make your argument. The court will hear it."
 So Mir. Doe, the lawyer, made his argument lasting until the eyes of the judge grew heavy and the court room was deserted of all except those whose duty it was to remain. And finally, af- ter every point of the case had been covered and MT. Doe, smiling, proud of himself had sat down, the old judge looked down from his beanch and remarked slowly.
 'All right. MT. Doe, Tn spite of your argument the court it still with you"
 The great public opinion still is with those who would settle the strike.

the obligation of wearing said pigtails will not throw so many people out of work that China will have to return to the hated form of government which is best pictured by a caricature of a crown. As to the surplus hair that will burden the country if 1t is all not made into hair nets we might suggest that the Chinese do with that hair what god Americans do with their surplus hair which, in these bobbing days, Is considerable.
 And incidentally we might ask someone who knows to tell us what we do with our surplus hair?

 Intelligent auto"
 Mysterious indeed and far beyond the ken of ordinary man is the work ing of the female mind; and where fashions and style are concerned, the modern girl is incomprehensible.
 Mere man, in the middle of winter, smiles sarcastically and makes caus- tic comment sub rosa and sotto voce when he sees the dear young things tripping down the street sans rubbers and with but thin bit of sheer silk covering their more or less shapely ankles and her crowning glory (either bobbed or not bobbed) acting as an anchorage for 8 STRAW HAT. This, in mid winter. Then in summer, mere man is again befuddled when the dainty miss steps forth in knickers and WOOLEN hose; while hot ] looking velvet hat, or some other type designed apparently for winter wear, challenges comment.
 All that, however, mere man con- siders none of his business or at least if he be wise he takes care not to try and make 1t his business. But in the late summer, when this same bit of fair femininity attempts to dc- tate to him what he shall wear and what he shall not wear it is, as some famous wag has said, "tew hutch" This bit of abracadabria has been oc- casioned by The Observer being called upon for advice.

MISS ELSA THOMSON
 ACHIEVES BIG TRIUMPH
Organ Concert Delights Audience at Empress;
 Talent Is Superb.

Miss Elsa Thomson, organist at the Empress Theater, achieved distinct triumph last night. Her 15-minute concert was most pleasing to the ca pacity audience and many were heard remarking, after the show, that they would attend every Sunday night if such music were part of the program.
 La Paloma" was the first number. One who had heard the greatest or ganist in music-mad Mexico play this favorite at the National Theater de- clared it was technically flawless. There were no Dons in the house last night, else there had been shouts of enthusiasm and wild demands for an encore.
 The "Humoresque" and "The Ise of Golden Dreams" were enchanting, with all the tender cadences devel- oped Aloha" was superb.
 The finale, the Hungarian Tut opSCit WILL lbD dpDSu1 bO to patriotic sentiment and it's thrilling climaxes in bugle notes and thunder peals, caused many to think perhaps, of the fallen emperor, lying dead at his place of exile on the Isle of Ma deira.
 Miss Thomson seemed a bit sur prised at the salvos of applause which marked the end of the concert. Con- pliments were showered upon her by the departing crowd. Everyone was pleased and satisfied. One matron re- marked: "The Times needn't bother about the radio musical concerts, if we can have home music like this every Sunday evening""
 Miss ThOmson's art is essentially different from that of the gifted Don Fairman. He is a recognized organ master in the difficult classical mas terpieces, but she has equal skill in popular favorites and knows how to reach the heart of the audience Of such playing it was said: "She can fill our souls with music, knowing we'll what chords to touch"
 On Sunday evening next Miss Thom- son will render a special program of Easter music and hereafter there will be a special organ recital once a month.
