THE OBSER VER- Makes Random Observations
 On the City and Its People

ing which his mind is not alert He may use caution to the utmost, but even the most cautious persons be- quently through their own fault. It is impossible for the man at the wheel to watch on all sides and to see other vehicles and pedestrians approaching from all directions. Accidents will happen to the best regulated drivers.
 Responsible men take out insur- ance to cover themselves and possible victims. At the next session Of the legislature, a law should be adopted compelling all motor vehicle owners to adopt some means of protecting the public. If a man can't afford to do this he should not be allowed run a machine.
 When a man reached a high posi- ton in the political world, much Of his history that was not known be- fore is resurrected and brought to the attention of the public. So it Is with President Calvin Coolidge and writers are busy working on his past achieve mcnts and life.
 Investigation brings one across the statistics in the city of Burlington, Nt., that Calvin Coolidge and Miss Grace Goodhue were united in mar riage at tho brides homo in Bnrling- ton, october 1, 1905 by a retired congregationalist minister, Rev. Ed ward A. 1iungerford."
 1t is an interesting thing to note that Rev. Edward A. HunEcrford was the father Of Lawyer f. B. Hunger ford of this city.
 From February i5, 1872, to Sep tember 90, 1879, Rev. Mir, Hunger ford was pastor of the Center church in Meridcn. During his service there, he acquired the ownership of Il farm fin Burlington, Vt, and upon rcsign- ing his position in Moriden, ho re- tired to the seclusion and peace of the country There 1t was that be received the call 10 perform the cere- mony between two persons who were destined in later years 10 occupy the position of first citizen and first lady of the land.
 He was at that time we'll along in years and died several years ago.
 Pedestrians who arc laboring under the delusion that "the man afoot is always right" may be Interested to know that no motor vehicle law holds them responsible when they cause an accident. The pedestrian. it must be admitted, gets it in tho neck so much that it continually smarts. but there are times when he is as much 10 blame for accidents as automobile drivers.
 Recognizing this point the legisla- ture enacted a law which puts part of the responsibility mp to the man whose motive power is a pair Of legs Chapter 365 of the Public Acts Of 1921 reads as follows:-
 Any pedestrian who shall use any street or highway negligentiy or rock lessly. or who shall wilfully refuse or neglect to obey the signal of any traf- fife officer. or who shall recklessly disregard his own safety or the safe

The result is not only that the number of accidents has been decreased 25
 per cent, but there are being trained thousands Of young people who are
 learning of the great menace, the best way to lessen it, and the necessity Of care and thought in driving at all times For 1000 public school boys of San Francisco, from l2 to IS years of age. have been organized into traf- hc reserve force. They are being post ed about the schools. learning the traffic rules and the city ordinances and the traffic signals. They aid their fellow students to cross the street in safety and thus teach them the things thaA they themselves are learning. Soon those young traffic officers" will own and drive cars themselves. One thousand and more thoughtful, care tul young owners of cars will become part of the great army of automobile and, almost instinctively. they will observe the rules that they them selves have tried to enforce.
 Practically, perhaps, organizing the school boys of New Britain into such q reserve traffic force would not aid a great deal in reducing the number of accidents in the state Possibly this city is not large enough to call for such drastic action. But it is submitted that traffic training of the young in this city and in every town in the state would result, eventually, in es- tablishing a new, safer standard of driving and would do much to meet the gowing menace of increasing num- Der of automobile accidents.

AN ENGLISH "TWIsT"

The fundamental difference in the manner in which one Englishman in high authority looks upon what hc calls the working classes, and that in which good Americans treat this same multitude of efficient mon and women in this country, may he seen in the interesting remarks about pro- hibition made by the Rev. Lord Will liam Gascoyne- Cecil. Bishop of Exeter, in a pastoral letter." He declares that America has "antipathized"-- whatever that may mean-men Of moderate opinion, and there seems to be a danger here that AmcricR's total prohibition will in the end be far less successful than England's practical prohibition of spirits among the working classes" by imposing a heavy tax upon liquor
 In other words this learned and undoubtedly most worthy gentleman high in authority, declares that Eng lands way Of preventing the working classes" from drinking by making il too costly for them. but allowing those who can afford 1t to indulge to their hearts content. is better than Ameri- cas- attempt to treat all classes" alike. He seems to ignore, without cracking a smile, and apparently en- tirely unconscious Of the ingenious ness Of his remark. that in theory at least and in practice among straight forward Americans, the working classes" as he calls them, have a right to be treated exactly as the wealthy are treated here We know. of course, that this theory is all very well, but that as the matter stands now our volsteadian interpretation Of the Eighteenth Amendment does do exact-
 y what the Bishop says the English law does--it allows nobody, in theory, to have liquor, but in practice it is the fact that those who can afford fairly decent liquor and want it badly enough do get it, while people Of very moderate means drink aduterated or poisonous stuff or none at all.
 The Englishman is quite correct in his remarks about "antipathizing" moderate opinion. if the word means what one is inclined to think if means. and perhaps there may be bit Of ad- miration for him coming out frankly and saving. quite as though it were a matter Of no consequence that Eng land does treat the working classes" differently from the manner in which it manages the affairs. or fails 10. of the wealthy. And a word Of comehda- tion must be given 10 him for up- braidinF Englishmen for assisting in breaking our laws. But the illuminat- ing feature Of his remarks is that he considers if quite proper to keep liquor away from the work classes" by a tax. while honest Americans depiore a situation that, through general non- observance of Isw. brings that very situation 10 this country Bad or good. a blessing or a menace. iiquor in this country should be available or to all classes" alike.

THE "AIMOST FORGOTTEN"

Tonight and Monday will be the last chance we will have to procure from the stores, at least. such evil dences of remembrance as we may want to give at Christmas time. There is little doubt but that we have al- ready taken the time and thought to buy or make the presents for those about us whom we could never think Of forgetting-those who inspire in us such regard or affection that it Is a pleasure indeed to have an excuse to show such affection or regard through some gift. small or great We have been thinking a long time as to what we shall give them for Christmas. and we have attended to that satisfactori- ly.. There remains but the pleasure that will come to us in seeing or learn ing of the pleasure our gift has brought them,
 And so. in regard to these fortunte people who have many friends and relatives about them at Christmas time, we have little concern. It will be joyous day to them. each gift bring ing new evidence of the esteem in which they are held by those whom they, in turn admire.
 But there are other acquaintances of ours, far away perhaps, who have been almost forgotten Not because we do not care for them has the omis- sion been made, and not because time has altered our affection for them have they been omitted from our list. Rather has it been because the press Of busine ss, the too lately realized shorncss Of time, have crowded them out Of our thoughts. They will receive no small Nerd from uA no card, no little gift. They have been forgotten at time when being forgotten brings many a heartaehe.
 II is Of them that we will think to- night--are thinking at this minute and in the thought there is sadness for us as there will be sadness for them if they fail to receive that little word, that card, that gift Perhaps they have some special reason for being unhappy at this time when all the world should be happy. Perhaps they have been thinking of us-per- hsps some expression Of their thought for us will come to bring remorse for our thoughtlessness. our forgetfulness. No subsequent word of explanation will eradicate that feeling of disap- pointment, not that they have failed to receive a gift from US. but rather that we forgot them at this Christmas time.
 It is not too late, probably, for US to get word, card. a gift off to them. Wen do if. and because, even at the last minute our regard for them has prompted US to take some trouble to show that we remember them, we will take that trouble. And because we do our Christmas and theirs will be far happier than if we had left them, forgotten.
