TO QUIT WORK ON TRACKS
Santa Fe Needs Ballast Cars fol-
Transportation of Coal.

The seasonal suspension of track
ballasting and general track mainte-
nance work on the eastern lines OF
the Santa Fe has come earlier this
year than in previous years, on &C
count of the coal strike in the eastern
and Illinois coal fields.
The Santa Fe needs the cars which
are used for hauling ballasting ma
terial for the transportation of coal
now that the production of fuel has
been resumed, and the stocks of the
railroad and the country generally are
depleted.
For that reason, the gradual shut

which will be, much more difficult. In flights across Europe and certain parts of Asia there will be available the es- ,tabHshed routes, landing places and re- pair stations. The same will be en- countered in crossing this country, but when the aviators are going up the Asiatic coast of the Pacific, crossing tq Alaska. and down the coast again, quite the same as when hopping over to Flu rope from Labrador by way of Green land and Iceland there are stages that give promise of developing plenty of handicaps unless. that unexpected luck cf escaping trouble favors them.
 The honor of making the first trip around the world in a flying machine is what the British aviators are after, Ii will provide a test that exceeds any thing yet made and, make 1t possible to judge the stability of the machine ,whicl is relied upon for the trip. It is a test rather than a race but 1t gives an idea of the development of the heavier thar

pE1peEroRr,s coop WORK.

Were it a fact that in nearly every case of a holdup of paymaster, bank clerk or others, with the idea of get ting possession of large sums of mon ey. that those involved in the raid were shot or captured as was the case with the quartette in Bridgeport this week, t can be safely said that there would be less inclination to take such desper- ate chances.
 Much of the incentive to such crime lies in the fact that there are large sums to be gotten and the chances of getting the swag and escaping are re- Earded as being entirely in the favor of he holdup men, either because so nan-- of them get away without being caught or fl they are caught they are so treat ed with such leniency that the penalty IS no deterrent.
 The Bridgeport case should indicate to the criminal class that that city maintains an alert police force, whose uuick and effective work makes it an ex- cellent place to keep away from. That Is the kind of a reputation that a com munity should have in the criminal mind. There are not going to be very many inspired by the experience of the Tour who went there to rob a paymas- ter. with one killed and the other three quickly captured. Nothing could be of any greater value to Bridgeport or any other city than to establish a record of that kind. There are of course condi- lions which aided the authorities but they nevertheless made the most of hem. There is no way of telling how many other similar affairs have beer prevented in that city because of this outcome and the psychological effect lsn't going to disappear at once. Thert of course remains the punishment fol hose caught and possibly others whc nay have been involved, and the duty n connection with that cannot. be lightIj 'egarded
 Thugs from the big city may regart ihe smaller communities as their hunt Ing grounds but when such reception Is provided for them as they got in tn, Park city 1t never serves as an invita- lion for others to repeat the undertak Ing.

HEALTHY FOOD. HANDLERS.

Over in Waterbury, the city health of fcer is planning a protection for the general public that cannot fail to be regarded as a move in the right direc- ton. and one that might not only be copied by other cities but something that should have been insisted upon long ago.
 However it would appear that condi- tions have recently been called to his attention which warrant action and he recognizes the wisdom of promptly deal ing with them. His plan is to require all persons who handle foodstuffs in that city to undergo a rigid physical examl- nation to determine whether they are suffering from any highly communicable diseases or whether they are suffering from tuberculosis. This is a preventive measure somewhat out of the ordinary but one that is to the point in dealing with those who are diseased and who by such contact as they have with food. stufts are in a position to subject others 10 infection.
 Plainly such persons are a menace to the public, That is evident without examination. but there are many in- stances where such cases of disease ar' kept hidden and the public is unjustl, subjected to tho 5>Rger. It is for tn, purpose of establishing whether sucl employees are in good health or not tha the examination is proposed. It is ; safety move that deserves every com mendation, and 1t is natural that tn owners of restaurants and bakerie should give their indorsement to tn idea.
 It can be expected that the employer are desirous of guarding against jus such health dangers. but until it can b established what the state of health through an examination they are oblige to depend upon the statements of em ployes who in some. instances are will Ing to hide the true state of affairs fo the sake of a job, and are unconcerne whether their condition means menac to others.
 Present day conditions make it appa1 ent that too much attention cannot b given by the health authorities to thi very state of affairs. Sanitary place amount to little if the persons who har dle the food are 8 health menace.

The affirmative side of the question was taken by former Congress- man J. Adam Bede of Minnesota. Both speakers were eloquent in support of their claims.
 The debate was attended by between 500 and 500 persons, including a large number of women.
 E. Kent Hubbard of Mhdletown pre- sided and made brief introductory talk telling of the initiative taken by Con- necticut in getting the cooperation of the other New England states in an ef- fort to improve the railroad situation. of equal importance was the St. Lawrence project, the topic under discussion al the meeting. Mir. Hubbard then intro duced the first speaker, Mir. Bede. In opening his argument MT.

SUBURBAN DAY.

Once again the merchants of Nor wieh have arranged 8 Suburban day fos the benefit of the buyers in this part of the state.
 Norwich is much nearer to such trad sers than it used to be. There was a time when the railroads and the faith ful horse were depended upon to get here. Later there came, the helpful cleo trio railways but, today in addition to these facilities reaching out in va rious directions are good roads and au- tompbiles. so that, distance is no handi- cap to those desirous of taking advan- tage of Norwich stores. and the attrac- tive offerings set forth by them.
 Norwich merchants in this effort to move. goods are offering opportunities to the trading public that cannot fail to impress the discriminating buyer. There is furnished the chance to fill those wants that have been delayed for fa- vorable. time The thrifty are certain to regard it as their day and under fa- vorable weather conditions they should flock to the city in large numbers and from all directions.
 Suburban day always makes a special appeal to the poclletbook. The advan- tages cannot be. wisely overlooked. Nor wich stores are conveniently arranged for the shoppers, they are able to han de large crowds easily and they give assurance of courteous service.
 In view of the offerings that are made Norwich should have many thousand shoppers in addition to the usual satur- day trade. There may well be a desire on the part of those who trade here ire quently or seldom to get the benefit Q the large stocks of goods at specia prices.
 Norwich is the logical trading centel | for this part of the state and it is tht time to, improve the occasion when spe cial inducements. are offered and thu! get the habit of doing your. tradinl where it can be done to the best ad vantage. and where. the merchants ar anxious to cater to your wants whethe on special occasions or at other times.
 Don't fail to get the benefit that va intended for you on Suburban day.

SUNDAY MORNING TALK
A Witness for Christ.

For thou shalt be His witness unto all men of what thou hast seen and heard. Acts 22: Is.
 A witness must be 9 person who tells what he has seen and knows. A littie child may be a true witness, yet the Wisest man is not accepted as wit ness if he only tells what he thinks. The apostle Paul witnesses to others what le had proved and experienced himself of repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord. Jesus Christ" He was a witness of the grace of God. be- ing sufficient for every need lAga1A he calls himself a herald, telling out what the King has told him to say. In Acts 20-27 he says, T have not shun- ned to declare unto you all the counsel of God" The word declare" means very much the same as report. What wonderful picture of the apos- tie and of all of us who want to follow 1 in his stepsi If we want to grow and help others to grow, we must remem- Der God intends us to be witnesses, able to testify for Him reporters who' go to listen to the kings counsel, and coming out, tell others what He has given us. | The apostle was reporter who went l into the presence of the King, and came out with a message for the people. A reporter will do his work more perfect l ly if he is in sympathy with one whose words he is about to report. God means His people to be in sympathy with Him self that they may be His faithful re- porters, who take in the message they 1 haev to give. Think of the apostles re- markable phrase: 'I delivered unto you that which I first of all received Also I certify you, brethren, that the gospel
 which was preached of me is not after man. For neither received it of man
 neither was I taught it, but by the reve- lation of Jesus Christ.
 So that we are taught to look at the teaching of Paul as that which he had lreceived from God and passed on tc others. He received it from the Master
 and communicated it to His people. Ii you want to get into sympathy with the
 Master, you must study what the re- porters tell you.
 It is thus that you learn the secrets 1 of the Lord revealed to His counsellors and reported to His children.
 What 3 calling it is to us to come in.
 to accord with God! Shall we not de Itermine to know. by His grace, as never
 before, what 1t Is to be a full-growr tChristian-a witness of all that He ha.
 told us, a herald from the King, re porter in sympathy with His purpos,
 concerning men?

ROUND THE WORLD BY AIRPLANE

ROUND THE WORLD BY AIRPLANE.
 Getting around the world is a much different proposition than 1t was some years ago when some of the famous races against time were conducted.

 The family was provoked. and Mary lanes father threatened to ser! the hen if she didn't take care of the chickens. That brought Mary Jane to strategy. That evening when her father came home she was waiting for him.

 At the conclusion of Congressman Dempsey's remarks Mir. Bede took a few minutes time for his rebuttal. He accused he negative speaker of eTsding the real issue.
