dies hands and arms may be free TOT
 other uses, the Observer naturally re- grets that this new ruling will hit
 them. The maid will have to get license herself after month. or be liable to prosecution for driving with
 out a license. Now this Is tough on laddie and lassie, but as far as others are concerned it would seem perfectly
 proper that a month, and month
 only be given to legitimate instruc-
 ton in driving a car. and after that time one who does drive a car should
 take out his or her license. But,
 nevertheless, the following immortal
 verse is appropriate:
 'Ill share with you
 My every right"
 The youthful lover said,
 As, gazing at his lady fair
 He bowed his humble head.
 Pray operate my flivver though
 You have no license to; ..'
 I'd go through fire and water or
 I'd serve 10 days-for you"
 There are lot of admissions to be made before reaching the suggestion that comes to the Observer in regard to certain matter that has been complained of. Admitted that it is practically necessary for some people to park their automobiles around the park" in front of the railway station. Admitted that it is necessary for peo- pie to drive around the road there and admitted that express wagons and others have, to back up to the plat form to load trunks and other things reaching the city by train. Admitted. too, that some of these vehicles are horse drawn and that the horse can- not be parked so that he or she will not move as automobiles may be parked.
 Nevertheless and notwithstanding just as automobile owners do not leave the doors of their cars open, thus taking up more space than they should, so the drivers of horse-drawn vehicles might well consider the driv- CTS of automobiles or wagons which have to pass between the vehicles backed up to the station platform and the rear ends of the cars parked against the curb of the circle. It is just as well to turn the horse at right angles to the wagon when he is left this is often done---in order to leave a wider space for pass- ing vehicles When the horses nose sticks straight out into this passage way many drivers of cars, being un- familiar with the nature of the gen. tie beast, fear the horse may take a bite out of tire or do something else equally distressing. It is true that a danger lies here. A frightened horse might do much mischief. The need of the horse in that place is recogniz- ed, but 1t is suggested that the driver of the animal leave as much room as possible for traffic.
 We love the horse;
 We understand
 That many are used daily. But we can't love him When among
 Our cars he prances gayly.
 occasionally-only occasionally - oval New Britain people boast a bit lbout our city and the efficiency of its Ire department and police department Ind factories and other things. But We are not exactly boosters. We are not in the habit of seizing upon every little thing that would bring us some ldverttsing. We have efficient off, 'iais an everything" but we are not 'Verzealous in telling of them.
 Most of us remember the little chan "ho left school because he had learn l I'd all teacher could teach him." Just recently we have had that | a member of the de- | ective bureau of this city has had it. Ihe hngerprint expert, Thomas c. )olan, went down to New York in all to study the f1nger-print methods of the New York detectives. 1e expected to remain some time as le felt there was much for him to earn, probably. He stayed a week md then came home because he was old by the New York police officials hat he had learned the business as thoroughly as they could teach him. And New Britain never boasted and will not now boast about It's inger-print expert. Excessive mod sty!
 Your light beneath a bushel may
 Be quite a brilliant flame,
 But if you keep it there it won't
 Add luster to your name.
 And yet be careful of your light:
 Don't wave it all about,
 Too much hot air may bring a draft |
 To blow your light clean out.
 
 The Observer has noticed many hildren having a deal of fun work ng" in and about building being re- constructed in the heart of the city. little fellows are ''masons' helpers" or a little while at a time. Small iris are seen often carrying debris way and doing other things, not ap- arently by request, but rather be- ause they enjoy doing it. There is 10 air of "child labor about it. father. 1t seems that the children re having the times of their young ves and perhaps they are. No cri- lcisn or advocacy of allowing chill ren to do this sort of thing is here intended. The fact is cited merely ecause it suggests a line of thought hat is interesting to follow.
 Anyone who knows anything about cry young children-mere babies nows that early in life the desire to help mother" appears. The boys are 1clined to want to help father, too, ut the first indications of this desire 9 work" comes before the child has sft the Jurisdiction of the mother, and
