The Gas Mans Troubles

The recent cold snap on Feb. 8,
seemed TO affect gas plants over the
state, causing the mains TO contract
to such an extent that gas pipes
were broken. The Decorah Gas Co.
experience broken pipe on East
Water street near the Jens Ramsey
residence, and it took couple of
days to get the break repaired, as
the new paving had to be dug
through, and that was some hard
job. Down at Waveriy the same
night at two different places in the
city the gas pipes were pulled apart,
letting the gas escape, the company
losing many thousand feet of gas.
The Decorah Gas Co. has had very
little trouble with their plant since
it was opened in DEBORAH, thanks to
good management, and this instance
is about the first in the history or
the company where any incon-
vience was caused, and it was only
on the east portion of Water street,
where the patrons were affected for
a couple of days and of course gas
managers have no control over the
air or the weather.

THE TRAGEDY OF 1T

when we read OF the confession OF
human being telling of his action In
taking the life OF another in an almost
inconceivably cold booded manner,
all thoughts other than the tragedy OF
it seem insignificant. When slayer and
victim are people familiar in our COM
munity the drama OF human life Is
brought forcibly to us. Thoughts of
pleasure comfort, even, sink in i'm
portance before overpowering desire
to so order our own lives, at least,
that we may never be touched by or
may never cause others to feel the
terrible hand of the passion of hate
which drives men and women to vio-
lence or which inspires action breed
ing violence in others.
There is a tendency in this day to
treat life's gentler sentiment as evil
dence of weakness. Impressions are
made only by drastic, spectacular ac-
ton. Phrases such as 1.-The Faith OF
Our Fathers" the Love of Home
are smiled at charitably as the mouth
ings of the sentimentalist. What is
wanted, in the vernacular of the day,
is something with punch, a kick
The sun of the dreamer, even though
his dreams be the inspiration of fine
deeds, is in the eclipse. Attempts to
reform the world are made with the
same passion of vehemence, the
same intolerance that characterizes
so-caled pleasure and even crime.
1t is time for the idealist to be not
afraid. Even such an authority is one
of the greatest economic experts in
the country may be quoted as saying,
in a practical way, that this country
will not become once again the splen-
| did land of achievement, of square
dealing, until there returns to it that
| old-time faith in the primary princi-
pies taught by the Great Master and
| followed for so many years with de-
vout faithfulness. Never may we real
ize SO intensely that the worlds need
is for renewed faith, hope and love
az on a dark, cloudy day when we are
thinking of the tragedy that has come
TO the community.

CHORAL SOCIETY FESTIVAL

Each spring, all over the country,
there are held musical festivals
which are peculiarly appropriate at
the time of the year when beauty and
nature harmony bring fresh inspira-
ton. In New Britain this festival
takes the form of the annual concert
given by the New Britain Choral So
ciety, for which preparation has been
made throughout the year and which
is looked forward to by all music low
ers of the city and vicinity. 1t is no
dispara cement to the New Britain
Musical club, which has so long de-
voted itself to preparing New Britain
people for concert and chorus work,
10 emphasize the attractiveness OF
this annual spring festival of the
Choral Society which represents seri-
ous conscientious work by local sing
ers who, in this festival. are aided by
noted musicians from the musical
world
This year the Society will present
Mendelssohn's Elijah" Monday eve
ming, May 7, at Fox's theater. Proba-
bly, there is no musical work so popu-
lar. so consistently satisfactory and so
SPLENDID as vehicle for chorus and
solo Interpretation as this masterful
oratorio. Splendid notices have been
received OF the artists who will pre-
sent the solo portions of the COMPOSE
tion in addition to the personal
knowledge of such soloists possessed
by the officers of the society respon-
sible for their engagement The great
chorus of local singers assures to
these musicians a background, sym
pathetic in its understanding and
powerful in its support. The combina-
tion cannot fail to produce one Of the
most thoroughly enjoyable musical
entertainments the people OF the city
have enjoyed and one which will merit
and undoubtedly be given the sincere,
enthusiastic support of those in this
city who love good music and who
believe in maintaining New Britain
standing in this worth while field.

dlotion, The school committee, for
instance, Is well versed In the peoples
needs in regard to schools, The play
ground commission may know all
about the need of recreation spots
But there is not the slightest harm IN
trying TO make these two require
ments nj together. provided the work
or investigating Is done In co-opera-
ton with the commissions into whose
fields the special committee goes.
For this reason the action OF the
Mayor In appointing q committee OF
the fourth ward council members, to
look into the playground and school
needs from the viewpoint of the peo-
pie residing In that ward, Is quite
proper provided. again, there will be
that cooperation which brings good
results, not dissension, In view Of the
swimming pool discussion such com
mittee might well be appointed to In
vestigate the feeling OF the people IN
the Stanley Quarter regarding Its es'
adjustment. Again 1t Is emphasized
that any arrangement for bringing tho
wishes of the people to the notice o.
the common council is a movement II
the direction of making the govern
ment of the city more representative
and Is worth while.

A "TINfELY" REMINDER

At the risk of boring those who are
sick and tired of the senseless discus
sion of the merits of daylight saving
time, it may be we'll to remind peo-
ple that "tonights the night'-or ra-
tber that tomorrow morning at 2
o'clock is the time when we should set
our clocks an hour ahead, not for the
nurpose of "fooling" ourselves Sunday
morning as to the hour of the day, but
rather to remind up that the world
has made up it's mind to get up and
go about the days business when the
sun is telling us that it is all ready TO
furnish its brightest light. AS prac-
tical matter it will be better to set the
clock ahead tonight before retiring
even at the risk of doing something
terrible even before the hour when
the change goes into effect. We Will
probably wake UP, as we have peen
waking UP despite clocks, an hour
earlier than usual---if 1t happens to
be a bright day.
Just as an interesting matter 1t
would pay denouncers of the deter
mination to make use of that extra
hour of daylight, to ask any bright,
energetic person if he or she has not
been remaining in bed these few days
of bright spring which we have had
| long after the urge has come to be up
and doing. The light has streamed in
the window for late risers, and even
those who have to get up early have
| felt a sense of guilt recently, not being
able to get 1t out of their heads that,
with the coming of the day there
comes, too, the need to begin the work
of the day. So, as long as we poor
| frail and forgetful humans need
tangible reminders, set the clocks
! ahead in order that their hands may
corroborate the evidence of the day
light and tell us it is time to be ur
and at It.

CONGRATULATIONS FOR ALL"

The Hartford Courant' with its
delightful sense of sarcastic humor
gives us another lecture this morning
on the front page. The Carlson muir
der case is the question involved. The
next step in the news article which
seems to be n rather sore point Is
Mayor Paonessa' s attitude. The mayor
told q Herald man that he had de-
manded the police TO get busy on the
matter. for he did become suspicious
after visiting the scene of the so-called
accident when Mrs. Carlson was kill
pears that the local police as we'll as
/, the county detective had their suspi-
suspicious but they were naturally
very careful not wishing TO defeat
the ends of justice. The caption over
the pictures of Mayor Paonessa and
Chief Hart in this mornings "Cour-
Police Chief Who Disclaim Break"
That's all very pleasant and if that is
all the "Courant" wants the public to
| know. why we will also say that as
: far as we know, tn ose two gentlemen
are the best of friends. 1t is refreshing
TO us to have a Hartford newspaper
defend" our local authorities. We
are with you.
If the only point involved is placing
the congratulations where they belong
we will go on the suppositon that a
blanket congratulation will cover a
controversial point, therefore we will
settle that by congratulating all a
thousand fold. even the "Courant" for
its new attitude towards New Britain
and its officials.
There are little minor points that
we could heckle about but what's the
use?

TRAFFIC.

One of the points in the city streets
which troubles the traffic officers and
the drivers of automobiles. is the in
tersection of Walnut, Arch and Main
streets. One driving up Main street,
headed for Arch, meets drivers COM
ing in the opposite direction either
down Arch or Main who are uncertain
iust which way to drive, especially
wnen the "Silent cop, or pillar, is on
the Job alone. Then there is the traf-
nc turning from Main and going up
Arch and Walnut which has to be
crossed, as we'll as that coming from
Chestnut. There is no order to the ar
rangement as the silent officer. or pill
lar, is now placed.
1t would seem that moving this
pillar directly west. almost to the
white line that crosses diagonally at

THE PEOPLES NEED

Any arrangement that will make
the needs of the people of any section
of the city more plain, is to be com
mended. AS long as members of the
common council are willing to do the
work, for instance, it is well to have
small groups from that body investi-
gate the sentiment of the people and
make the result Of their findings
known to that body. The commissions
which have general charge Of differ
ent activities know in a general way,
and in many cases In special way,
of the needs in regard to the matters
within their jurisdiction. But no gen.
eral commission can determine exactly
how the needs with which it is con-
cerned dovetail into certain other
needs which come outside of Its juris-
