UNITED ALLIES

There never has been any question but that the allies would present a united front before Germany if the matter ever got down to brass tacks. Apparently brass tacks were appear ing, and it is evident that England is eager to give France the chance to show that her critics are in the wrong when they declare that France is not anxious at all to have a reparation settlement made, but that France wants, rather, failure of any settle ment in order that she may put Ger many down and out for years to come. For this is what Frances critics are saying.
 If we who believe in France are correct She would like nothing better than to have Germany give up her policy of passive resistance; have England and the other allies join in conference over what Germany could pay, and have the moral support of England and the other allies, with the United States looking on as an unoffi- cial helper. And this is the situation that may be expected.

time to the letter. Their clocks have
 been run on standard time, although
 the interpretation of that law made
 by our corporation council does not
 hold theater to be public building within the law. The theater mana
 gers have been on the safe side and
 treated their clocks as though they were within the law, This is showing a proper respect for the law, of course.
 But down in Bridgeport some infiu- ence has been at work and the thea ters may not open Sunday nights un- til P. M. Standard Time, which would be P. M daylight saving time. The opponents of daylight saving time are technically within their rights, as long as the law stands, and advantage of this fact has been taken in making things as unpleasant as possible for theater managers and theater patrons.
 Whether one believes in daylight saving or not, the wrong principle ln- volved in the law must be recognized. Whether or not one believes in post poning the opening of theaters on an hour, the added inconveni- ence of the rule in Bridgeport must be recognized,
 And finally, when there Is combined the narrow law, tainted with liberty infringement, regarding the display of clocks, with one of Connecticut's blue laws. it makes pretty combination of narrowness that adds to the unde- sirable ridicule that has been heaped upon the state. 0

PARKING CARS

Someone ought to tell everyone who parks cars not to take up more room than necessary. AS someone ought to do it, the local newspaper takes it upon itself to be "the goat" in this as in the mention of other matters that ought to be emphasized.
 The parking time in places where there used to be unlimited parking has now been properly limited. The "unlimited' spaces are not numerous. Even if they were the consideration of others, here referred to. ought to be observed. A person parking car should place it as near to another car as possible in order to leave as much room as he can for other cars which will come later. There is no neces- sity of leaving a great gap between your car and the one next to it. This space probably would not be large enough to admit another car but
 
 prevent many people from being able to find parking space.
 In other words there is often in front of the station, for instance, enough open space to admit several cars if the others were placed closer together. Moreover parking a car along the curb in space where there is room for it to be placed perpendic- ularly to the curb, is objectionable. People who would not think of sprawling over the whole seat in a trolley car where 1t is intended for two persons nevertheless place their cars so far from the next one that later they will shut out other cars. There, that's that.

THE GOOD sAMARITANs

In its news columns this newspaper has expressed its thanks to those who have made it possible for the Fresh Air Camp to do all the good possible to as many undernourished or weak children of the city as possible. This work is reform" only in that it reforms the bodies of the small ones from weak things into bodies that will have a chance to develop as nature intended they should develop.
 There are other movements in the city. The people back of such move ments are inspired, undoubtedly, by a desire to make the city better. No matter how nearly perfect the city might be there would be criticism of 1t from some of the reformers-sin cere reformers who are continually on the lookout for some wrong to be lighted.
 The thought of the Good Samaritan comes up. When he saw the sufferer he made it his immediate business to attend to that sufferer. He did not chase any rainbows; he did not revile the world. He dressed the sufferers wounds and found him a place to rest and grow strong. He made no parade of himself by giving himself high sounding name. He tended the wounded man. The greatest Man whoever lived, meeting hungry per son, said first of all Feed Him." Then came his words of inspiration, given not until the hungry were fed.
 In our thanks to those who have made it possible to send these weak children into the country where they will have chance to grow stronger we would include the expression of | belief that they, the contributors to such cause, are the true Good Samaratans of the world.

A PRETTY COMBINATION

Little is said nowadays about the ridiculous law which purports to prohibit the public display of clocks showing other than standard time. Things run along in this part Of the country on daylight saving time just the same. The supporters of tile law the inspirers of it, rather-have not created the disturbance they hoped for. They have not brought change to the summer habits Of people of Connecticut and they are disappoint- ed.
 So it is quite natural that they should continue to look for ways and means of making matters a bit more unpleasant for the daylight savers. They looked this way sand that, and at last they have discovered that the statues provide that theaters cannot open until P. M. on Sundays In New Britain the theater men have ob- served the law sbcut the display of

BELGIAN NOTE IS. MORE CONSTRUCTIVE
French Terms Are Based Directly
 on Versailles Pact
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Prese.
 Paris, July 30. - The French and Belgian notes in answer to the British reparation communication were both slightly retouched as the result of ex- changes of views between Paris and Brussels.
 The efforts to keep the contents of the documents secret are being main tained, but it is confidently aseerteu in well informed quarters that Prime Minister Poincare's reply is set square, ly on the treaty of Versailles and on the Franco Belgian policy outlined on January 11-that negotiations with Germany are impossible until her passive resistance ceases and that the evacuation of the Ruhr seems impos- sible until the payment of reparation is absolutely guaranteed.
 The Belgian note is in accord with the French on these. two points, 1t is stated, although differing on other features of the reparation question, such as new conference to fix Ger many's capacity to pay.
 Those who have seen both notes say the Belgian document is the moro constructive, in the sense that it goes into methods of settlement which might prove effective, while the French premier regards a change of attitude on the part of the German government toward the treaty as the first essential, and subordinates all proposed new measures to that con- sideration.
 Premier Poincare is the more argu- mentative, taking 12 typewriter pages to develop his thesis while Pre- mier Theunis requires only six to for mulate his practical suggestions.
 It is expected in French circles that considerably more negotiation will be necessary to come to final decision regarding the reply to Germany pro- posed by the British, the French and Belgian replies being regarded as in no wise final

|BLOODHOUNDS POINT
 ID PROMINENT MAN
Trail Chicago Businessman When
 Seeking Murderer

Chicago, July 30.--Citizens of the
 suburban town of La Grange are attempting to reconcile themselves tc the shock Of the arrest, George O. Hinchliffe, a prominent business man, Is being questioned at the Chicago Detective Bureau as the slayer of Policeman Byron Porter early yester- day morning. The policeman was shot and killed while trying to frus- trate the robbery of dyeing and cleaning establishment.
 Bloodhounds caused Hinchliffe's arrest. They trailed him four times to his door |. That and, the fact that his car has been identified as the one the slayer drove, and that shoes found near the scene of the murder exactly fit him lead the police to think that he committed the crime, or knows who did.
 But the town can't believe it. Even the twenty men who followed the bloodhounds as they led unerringly to Hinchliffe's home and unwilling to accuse the man whom they have re- garded as one of La Grange's most upright citizens.
 Hinchliffe faced with a mass of in- eliminating evidence, has never lost his calm. Taken into custody yes terday, freed and then re-arrested to- day, he has continuously maintained his innocence.
 He denies living a Dr Jekyll and MT. Hyde existance.
 The murder of the policeman oc- cured at a. m. yesterday. He was patroling his usually quiet beat when he surprised lone robber attempting to break into the dyeing and cleaning establishment. The robber turned and fired. The policeman fell mortally wounded. The slayer fled, but trusted to his feet rather than the car in which he arrived.
 Apparently he ran across an adja- cent field. for searchers on Saturday found pair of black oxford shoes.
 The automobile was quickly traced to Hinchliffe. He readily admitted it.
 But" he explained, that car was stolen on June IT. q notified the po- lice of the theft at the time."
 This was verified.
 When the auto clew failed, the citi zens demanded bloodhounds. The dogs arrived last night. Chief Matthews chose 20 men to follow the dogs. He armed them with rifles. They took .he bloodhounds to the scene of the staying. The dogs found the scent Ind few minutes later they reached | he back porch of the Hinchliffe nome. The dogs were taken back ,ver the trail. At one spot they were permitted to pick 1t up. Straight they ed to the Hinchliffe home. The po- ice and the posse were still uncon- inced. Again the dogs were pulled pack. and for third, and then a ourth time the same trip was taken. Always 1t ended at Hinchliffe's home.

LOCAL "DIRT FARMERS"

Of course we have few dirt farm
 ers." New Britain is manufacturing
 city, and the men who run the city politically know a deal more about
 manufacturing than they do about
 farming. Moreover there is no desire to back the latest prominent dirt
 farmer" one Senator-elect Magnus
 Johnson He has said lot of things
 which suggest little knowledge of
 world affairs, and a commendable de-
 sire to keep off" matters he knows
 nothing about. But there is an interest
 attached to him, which has local
 aplication.
 And in order to make the applica-
 ton worth while, it may be necessary
 to mention the fact that the plans
 man makes when he is elected to an
 office are much modified by the situa- ton he confronts when he gets in that office. If he is honest with those who elected him, he wants to do the best thing possible for them. He finds that he cannot do this without doing some things they would not like. He has to give favors in order to receive favors. No matter how high the star to which he had hitched his wagon, he finds he must come down to earth once every so often and talk with the politicians who live on the earth, agree with them, and then go sailing up to his star again.
 In our own common council and in other offices, including that of the Mayor, are men who have had pract- cal experience in life: have treated | others in a fair way and have done things for themselves because they | have known that, by so doing, they | could have them done right. Too often as soon as they are elected to an office, | they become transformed into states men," They abandon, their practical way of looking at things, and reach up to theorize and talk about things | with which they are not familiar. | They, inexperienced in law, critise the decisions of the corporation counsel; in health matters, they seek to tie the hands of the health inexperienced in water matters or engineering, they forget their natural selves and seek to be- come experts on health and water and We have good men in he city places of authority. They. like Henry Ford, have their specialties: ike Johnson they know certain things rom experience. If Johnson confines himself to giving information about he farmer and his needs, and exerts lis influence along that direction he will be useful member of the Senate, ust as those members of our common council are useful members who peak on the subjects with which they re familiar. The ideal representa- i've body would be composed of peo- 'le from all walks of life were due importance to be given to the recom- nendations of those who knew what ! hey were talking about.
