to describe the party hereabouts as re- actionary. Certainly the invitation extended to a midwest progressive.
 particularly friend of Beveridvs
 would indicate that the newer elements recruited by the party are
 becoming articulate.
 A well known citizen who spends part of his time behind the wheel of his motor car told the Observer re- gently that many cities have adopted the policy of placing their traffic signs on a level with the eyes of au- tomoble drivers so that they may have fair warning of parking restric- tions, etc. He said that 1t would be advisable for New Britain to do like wise and the writer agrees with him.
 When the signs now in use in this city were novelty and newly painted they attracted the eye. But since the novelty-and some of the paint-has worn off. they blend into the landscape 50 easily that driver who is not familiar with traffic regu- lations Is apt to fail to see them at all. There have been cases where drivers who were strangers in New Britain unwittingly violated regula- tions against parking simply because the signs did not impress themselves expected to do. In.some of these in- stances, the violators have been dis charged when presented in court be- cause 1t was obvious that they did not intend to violate the law.
 The remedy for the situation lies in having new signs affixed to poles on level with the eyes of motorists. Lurid colors are not necessary, but the signs should be painted in hues which would automatically attract at- tention. Violations of traffic restruc- tions would thereby be reduced to minimum.
 Whenever the subject of economy is preached, the fire department seems to be left holding the bag. It is now said that because of the necessity of cutting down on municipal expense, the city may postpone the installation of the two- platoon system, the argu- ment being advanced that this would be the most popular measure with taxpayers II steps Are to pe tAAeH ~ all to save money.
 Thus far the firemen have had a difficult battle. The money for the two platoon system was once appro- priated by vote of the people, but execution of the plan was held up on the ground that the city could not afford it. From time to time it has seemed that the system was to be but the members of the fire department have been forced to swallow their hopes and to accept | cold disappointment. Some day the two platoon system will be reality and firemen will receive treatment accorded to the average human being. | But it seems as if the day of victory | will be postponed indefinitely.

Despite hectic prophecies on the part of a few dissruntled democrats Dave Dunn continues to hold his position as head of the local organi- zation. At the meeting of the town committee on Thursday night he was unanimously reelected chairman, ac- cording to information given to the press, thus confounding the few chagrined critics who predicted that they would get his scalp if he dared to call meeting of the committee,
 It Is a well known fact that Dunn had no special interest in continuing as chairman. In fact, soon after the election Of Mayor Paonessa, towards whose victory he contributed gener- ously, he offered to step down from his office, but was urged to continue for the good of the party. He decid- ed to do so and the threats of dis gruntled democrats was the first knowledge the public had that he was not acceptable to the party chiefs as whole. Ills reelection by unani-

FLEEING PRISONER

+. V. Mesa is in the Ell Centre
hospital in 4 serious condition from a
bullet wound suffered Saturday night,
when he attempted to escape from
Policeman j. A. Applegate, who had
arrested him for having narcotics in
his room at the Piedmont hotel on
Broadway. Earlier in the week the
police had arrested a vagrant, addicted
to the drug habit, who said he pur-
chased the dope from Messa. In addi-
ton to the room at the Piedmont, Mesa
also had one at the Commercial hotel
and the police watched both places,
Saturday night Applegate stationed
himself at the Piedmont room and wait
ed for Mesa to return so he could
search his quarters. The latter came
in about o'clock and was told by
Applegate he was suspected OF having
drugs in his possession. Search of the
room revealed large quantity of NOR
phne and cocaine, which the officer
confiscated and notified Mesa he was
under arrest. The latter submitted
quietly. Reaching the street, he sud
denly turned and struck the officer,
then started to run. Applegate reach
ed for his gun and ordered Mesa to
stop. AS he paid no attention to the
command, Applegate fired three shots,
one of which struck Mesa in the
back. He was taken to the Ell Centre
hospital in the police car, where it is
reported the bullet passed through his
body, but he has good chance for
recovering.
Jack Dennis, federal narcotic officer
at San Diego, was notified of the case
and is expected to arrive in Ell Centre
today to- obtain a statement from
Messa. Letters in the latter's effects,
showed that he has been sending mar
cotics through the mail, which is pun
ishable with a heavy fine and imprison-
ment.

nesses to the shooting.

brought strong denials from the star +
attorney.
The bungalow Of Rene is situated
