phasize the higher education of traf-
fic officers not only in the state law
but with view to fitting them as in
structors in schools and creators of
the public opinion referred to.
The newspapers are the main and
best educational method. There has
been a tendency on the part of some
editorial writers to attempt to con-
strue the law and there have been
some wrong constructions. One es-
pecially informed the public that
even though mans license might be
suspended by the department he could
nevertheless drive if accompanied by
a licensed operator. This is emphati-
cally not so. Any person whose IL
cense is suspended cannot drive at all
during the period of suspension. 9th
erwise the newspaper publicity has
been of the greatest value and there
is no other single agency which is do
ing so much to strengthen our posi-
ton as the newspapers of the state.

Rhode Island Child-siurdey Mystery
Unsolved, But stepfather Is
Eliminated as Suspect

Providence. July 2o.--.Cranston po-
lice have begun an entirely new line
of investigation In connection with
the staying Of seven-year-old VIM
COMO Picano. The boys stepfather.
Antonio Soscia, has been entirely
eliminated from connection with the
crime, according to Inspector James
@. Miller.
Chief Of Police James e. Cuff put
soscia through grilling examination.
The actions of Soscia from early
morning of Monday until the mott
flcation came to the police concerning
the disappearance Of the boy were
covered. His story told in broken
English, convinced the police that
he could not have committed the
deed, they said.
A small boy told the police yester-
day he had seen vincenEo in company
with another boy going through the

Smith farm after 10 o'clock Monday

HARDING IS near

On board u. s. S. Henderson with
President Harding, July 20.-A visit
to Cordova. ocean terminus of one of
the two railways piercing Alaska, was
the feature of today's program for
President Harding, who is nearing the
end of his visit to Alaska.
At Cordova he Is expected to take
the Copper River and Northwestern
railway for run out to the Miles and
Childs glaciers. These glaciers are on
opposite sides of the Copper river at
Mile 40. where, the stream is spanned
by a mammoth steel bridge set In
concrete. That place is said to be the
only spot in the world where even one
glacier can be reached by train.
Cordova Is the shipping port for
the copper ore brought out from the
Kennecott district by the Guggenheim
interests. 1t was solely to reach this
copper that the Copper River and
Northwestern railway, which is 1871
miles long, was built. The presidents
original plan, given up because the
activities of the long days of an Alas

Harding down, was to travel to

SCHOOLS HERE KEEP
PACE WITH COUNTRY
Compare FaYorably With Ideal
Outlined in Federal Bulletin

Comparing forward steps taken by
the New Britain school department IN
recent years with significant move
ments in city school systems as re-
ported In the latest bulletin OF bureau
Of education. department OF interior,
the school board finds that New Brit
ain stands relatively high.
The bulletin discusses fiscal indie
pendence for schools. This Is q move
mert that has met much opposition
here, and as a result has never been
established In some districts the
school committee IL fiscally indie
pendent OF the mayor, common coun-
Gil and tax laying bodies.
Research bureaus are also recon-
mended. New Britain has such a
bureau for three years.
A considerable amount of space Is
devoted to proper remuneration for
teachers Speaking of the way New
Britain has faced this problem, the
department says:
Teachers Salaries Fair.
Teachers salaries have been put
upon a fair basis in New Britain and
a standard of qualification set which
insures reasonable protection for the
schools against incompetence"
Teachers councils are also urged as
an important step In school manage
ment and as an agency to promote
general efficiency. New Britain es-
tablished its first council more than
Is years ago, being one OF the first
cities In the country to do so.
On the question of providing suf-
fcient rooms In the right types Of
buildings, the school committee has
a committee on school accommoda-
tions which now has before 1t . pro-
gram calculated to take care OF the
city's needs for many years to come.
The platoon plan has been in OPP
Grafton in certain of the larger ele-
schools Of the city for nine
years, standard tests have been en-
ployed for a number of years and
special classes have long been a fea-
ture Of the school system. These are
three movements that are being
adopted generally throughout the
the bulletin reports.
Anent the unifcation of school sys-
TENS, the New Britain board points
out that the Junior High school was
established three years ago for the
better unifcation of the system.
Proper kindergarten work is assured
BY having the supervisor of elemen-
,ary schools also the supervisor of the

quarter and that the aggregate of the
fines jumped from s10,512.57 in the
first quarter to $28,262.2S in the sec
ond quarter. 1t is natural, of course,
that there should be an increase in
the second quarter, when automo-
hiles In use are more numerous, but
the number OF fines is out of proper
ton to figures for corresponding
periods in previous years, and is a
healthy indication that courts are
gradually becoming more severe with
reckless and slack motor vehicle OPP
orators.
Pedestrians
Pedestrians continue to indulge In
Jay walking and there have been
the usual number of accidents. There
have been ten deaths of pedestrians
during the month of June, of which
five were children. There were clever
such fatalities In June, 1922. Care
lessness on the part of pedestrians
and motorists as we'll cost the lives of
113 of the former in Connecticut last
year.
Safety Rules
The things to do in connection with
the management of traffic and the at
tempt to reduce accidents seem to be
perfectly simple, even though to
degree they may be ineffective. They
are:
G) To attempt in every possible
way to create greater public senti-
ment which will demand responsible
ity on the part of cars and due care
from other persons in the highway;
(2) To reduce speed at intersec-
tons;
(3) To support In every possible
way the state police highway patrol
and to inform the Department of Mo-
tor Vehicles where bad traffic pockets
and dangerous locations exist.
ca To follow up the subject of
and,
(5) To commence a policy of edu-
cation through every agency at COM
nand.

SAMARITAN GETS "HooKED"
Drives Party From New Haven To
Hartford, Then Figures In Smashup

Meriden, July 20.--After an all
night search in Hartford for two men
and three girls whom he said he be-
friended when they missed their train
after shore outing Michael s.. Dor
sey, restaurant keeper in New Ha-
ven, returned to Meriden yesterday
and paid a $45 fine for his part in
an auto accident.
The Hartford people told. Dorsey
their plight while eating in his place
and he agreed to take them to Hart
ford in his auto, SO long as one Of
the Hartford men had drivers IL
cense. Dorsey's license is under sus-
pension. He went along with them
and they collided with a truck in this
city. The touring car was badly
damaged.
The men and the girls fed. says
Dorsey, and he remained with his
car and was arrested. A purse and
girls calling card were found In the
car and after getting bailed out, Dor
sey left for Hartford with these clues
to try to find the quintet. He says he
was unsuccessful.

Fatalities.

Fatalities.
In the entire state rs fatal motto
vehicle accidents occurred in the pas
six months, which number is NOR
than Sc per cent of all the fatal &C
cidents in which motor vehicles fig
ured in the state in the whole veal
of 1922.
Already in July the motor vehicle
has been responsible for IS deaths II
Connecticut, whereas in the same pc
Rod of 1922 there were only three
such fatalities. At the present rate
the July toll vii be the worst on rec.
ord. While of course the greater num-
Der of motor vehicles on the highways
this year has increased the hazard
the record for 1928, thus far, shows
the need of redoubled activities along
the line of educating the public to
the necessity of extreme caution.
Unnecessary Noise
There is hardly an fundamentally

1t ought to be used as a. warning sig

is not necessary to sound the horn
when entering traffic unless there is
some special reason for it. There Is
too much use of the horn on the part
of operators to enforce right of
way. in other words, some drivers
appear DESTROYS of notifying the
world, in instances like this, that they
are there and that everybody else
should look out for them. This Is
unnecessary, and improper use of the
horn signal and should be corrected.
The inufflef cut-out nuisance should
be stamped out. In the opinion OF
prominent medical men sick persons
are unquestionably harmed by unne-
cessary street noise and the automo-
bile must be more strictly supervised

be made and less noise from those
sources ought to be insisted upon.
The department is adiudicating
great many complaints on this &C.
count, and, while 1t has attempted TO
he fair, it is becoming stricter and
susrending licenses in cases of Of
Tenders who have prior records in
this respect. The newspaper puhli-
city which the department has re-
ceived in connection with this subject,
as we'll as with all other matters with
which it has been concerned has been
extremely strong and helpful.
Thirteen Jail Sentences
This publicity emphasizes the re-
sponsibiIity that rests upon the indi-
vidual driver and. with other agen-
cies, is creating a public sentiment for
severe punishment in cases where this
responsibility is not recognized. There
have been thirteen Jail sentences i'm
posed in the state during the last
month, whereas there were nine in
June. 1922.
In the last six months. 1877 motor
vehicle operators were fined an aggre-
gate of s3s,774s5. The tendency of
the courts to make the discipline

RIGID ENFORCEMENT !.
I OF AUTO STATUTES.
Thirteen Offenders Sent to Jail
During Month Of June

Hartford, July 20.-In bulletin
issued by the department of motor
vehicles, Commissioner Robbins B.
Stocked points out that courts are
becoming more severe with drivers
who violate the laws of the state. In
June month which the bulletin re-
views, 10 drivers were sent to jail.
Fines of s38,774 were imposed on L.
SIT offenders for the six months pc
Rod ending July 1. Mr. Stocked be-
lieves that cities are showing greater
control of traffic than ever before. The
bulletin follows:
An analysis of recent motor vehicle
accidents shows that the situation so
far as 1t relates to directed traffic,
meaning traffic which Is under the
control and supervision Of the police
forces. is better than ever before in
Connecticut. Nearly all OF the acct
dents reported occurred in undirected
traffic in locations within cities and on
the highways where the motor We
hicle operator is free to exercise his
own judgment and Is not in any way
supervised. There is no question but
that In the last analysis the elimina-
tion of accidents depends mainly upon
self-government by operators but the
fact that state and city enforcement
authorities are getting more and more
traffic under supervision and in bet |
ter way than formerly, is most help
full. In this connection the state po-
lice will, within two weeks, have a
largely increased force which will pa
troll traffic on the highways of the
state.
Accidents Increasing.
Two thousand two hundred and
eighteen motor vehicle accidents were
reported to the department for the

the corresponding month last year.
