might be Bender williams, who was
released from Portland last month.
But it's undoubtedly Jacks job. For
some months past a series Of daring
burglaries have occurred at country
houses In various parts Of England,
and, so far, I'm bound to say they've
beaten us; no arrest has been made
The methods Of the thieves are 80
similar In each case, that 1t is clear
to an expert all these jobs were done
by the same person-Or, rather two
persons. a man and a woman. The
man, besides being as smart a hand at
cracking a safe as ever lived, seems
to have the training Of a steepleJack
as we'll. He can climb anything that
q fly could get a foothold on; In ract'
he's known as the Climber.
1.-THE woman, If anything, is more
dangerous than the man. All that's
known of them is that they're prob
ably foreigners-some say Americans
and that they use a motorcycle when
they're on the Job.
Briefly, what happened here Is
this: The man got in through Lady
Erythea's window. There's the marks
Of him on the wall. He might have
got in still easier by the next one,
where the veranda is. But he went
in through her ladyship's bedroom"
Mr.. Lambe's eyes met those of the
Inspector; the same thought passed
between them; whatever might be
said of Jack the Climbers moral char
acter, he was a brave man.
"And so to her anteroom, and
opened the safe without waking her
of course, she's pretty deaf. The bur
glar-alarm didn't go till he'd done 1t;
and for that matter all these precau-
tons of her ladyship's are simply
bunco; the house is an easy job for
a cracksman. Jack got away by the
same road he came, and the only thing
that puzzles me Is why Kate had to
bolt for 1t downstairs. 1t isn't u
for her to be in the house at alive
believe her job is helping her partner
up and watch-keeping outside.
However, there it is. And this bit
of blue cloth, sir" concluded Inspector
Panke, holding it up, 'is going to put
Calamity Kate In my hands"
He folded the torn fragment of
cloth, put it in his pocket, and moved
briskly to the door. Goodnight, sir!
Before very long I'll show you the
rest of this skirt-and its owner!"

DESTROYING A STREET

New Britain, like many other
cities is perplexed by the congested
traffic problem. Chestnut street is one
of four thoroughfares from which
traffic leaves one end of the Main
street. A traffic officer is always busy
at the point where it meets Main
street. At the other end of that short
main way through the city, constant
ly lined by vehicles, there is another
point of congestion. In other words
Chestnut street is absolutely essential
to even the moderate degree of COM
fort people have in doing business at
the center of the city.
The public utilities commission has
granted permission to the Connecticut
company to lay spur track on that
street which would, in effect, destroy
the value of that street as far as a
passa geway from the center of veh-
icles is concerned The city has ap-
pealed from such decision of the COM
mission. The city needs that street
badly. II the Connecticut company
needs it, too the question is simply
one as to whether the city or the
company has the superior right to a
street in this city.
There would seem to be but one
answer to this question. Disregarding
entirely the other arguments such as
depreciation in the value of property
there and resultant depreciation in
taxes the city would receive, it is be-
lieved the superior court will rec
ognize the city's rights in the prem
Uses and reverse the finding of the
commission.

HOW MAY WE HELP

It is impossible to go about our
bushes without giving more than a
passing thought to the tragedy of life
as presented by the picture of suf-
fering wife and five small children,
near to death, perhaps, with thou
sands of people eager to help, so close
to them. Their faintest cry would
have been heard-but they might
have died. Efficient and sympathetic
welfare workers and charity officials
are always on the watch for just such
cases-but these might have died.
Funds have been provided to take
care of such cases-but these suffer-
ers might have died. What can we do?
The answer does not come in the
obvious suggestion that we should be
more liberal in charity appropria-
tons: IL was not lack of money for
charity that was to blame. 1t was not
lack of sympathy or efficiency on the
part of the officials or people of the
city that made this situation possible.
The conditions were not caused by
unusual; the Superintendent
of Charities says they have similar
cases almost every day. The cause is

"HITCHING on"

Although the winter is far advanced
and people are hoping that the Ian
OF the snow is now upon the ground
there is still time for terrible TRACE
dies to happen. The recent killing OF
a small child who had "hitched on
behind a vehicle, with fatal results.
and the fears expressed by other
drivers of motor vehicles that they
may inf1ict injury upon children in the
same way, makes it wise to emphasize
again the dangers of this sport of the
children.
A person who has been driving a
truck recently has called attention to
the constant worry he is in because
small children tie their sleds to the
rear OF his vehicle. 1t is not that
he minds giving the children the
pleasure of a ride, when he has the
time. that inspired his complaint. 1t
is the fact that he has no way Of
knowing when they are there and in
what danger he may unwittingly place
them. He told of an instance where
woman on the sidewalk shouted to
him and, upon stopping his vehicle,
he found that child who had
"hitched on had fallen from his sled
and that he had dragged the child
some distance. Had it not been for the
action Of the woman in calling to him
to stop, he might have been the in
nocent cause of serious injury to the
child.
In this particular matter no person
would be guilty of impertincnt inter-
ference who would take the pains to
call the attention of the driver of any
truck or other vehicle to the fact that
a child is "hitching on" to his vehicle.
If the children will not learn of the |
danger Of this practice, certainly older
people will take the trouble to protect
them against their own thoughtless-
ness.

private business matter with friend

will shake hands and exchange cigars
just before they separate. But put
those same men in public Office and
a difference of opinion will cause a
breach between them that cannot be
healed.
Why must we be treated to such
spectacles from Office holders? When
men are placed in positions of public
trust we expect them to be dignifed,
courteous and restrained emotionally.

NO DANGER OF DISTRESS!

Chairman Meyer of the Interstate
Commerce Commission assures Presi-
dent Harding that there is no danger
of distress in any section of the coun-
try as the result of the coal shortage
this winter"
1t is so comforting to learn direct
from the lips of public official that
all's well with the nation.
1t must warm the widow huddled in
her home and swathed in wraps to
know that Mr.. Meyer, seated in a
swivel chair in a steam heated Office
can pen such beautiful Pollyanna
thoughts.
How the news must cheer fathers
who are forced to take boys play
carts to the coalyards and bring home
a few bags of coal to keep their fam
lilies warm. How it must inspire weary
mothers pushing home baby carriages
filled with precious fuel.
Distress? Right here in New Britain
people are on the verge of freezing
to death because they cannot afford
to buy coal at the price the shortage
has created. Talk confidentially with
charity department officials or well
fare workers and learn the truth
that cases of misery due 70 lack of
fuel arc discovered every day.
Distress? New England is pleading
for coal in the middle of the most
severe winter in years. and the plea
falls on unheeding official ears.
Distress? The state Of Connecticut
has so muddled the fuel situation
that. in some cities there is no fuel
administrator, no central head to
whom the public can complain.
Distress? So acute is the situation
in upper New York state that people
are piIlaging coal trains.
