Contributions 10 the Fun Shop column from Herald readers will be carefully con- sidered as 10 their eligibility under the rules and will be for- warded 10 the national head quarters of the organization in New York, where they will be finally passed upon by the edi- tor. Accepted humorous mat ter, whatever it's form, will be paid for at rates running from s1.0o to s10.O0 for prose, twenty-five cents a line, for poetry. Address any com munications to the Fun Shop editor, care of the Herald.
 We have had many contribu- tions, but often they are not in accord with the rules for one reason or another. Therefore we are again outlining the regulations, as follows:
 Humor must be original and heretofore unpublished.
 Contributions must be writ ten on one side of the paper only.
 Manuscripts will not be re- turned. even though accom- panied by a stamped envelope
 The writer sname and ad- dress must he placed upon the sheet of paper containing the contribution.
 Inasmuch as the contributors 10 this column are entering a national contest it will prove exceedingly difficult 10 win &C., ceptance for manuscripts. However. the Herald Fun Shop editor has decided to choose from the stuff submitted by persons in this vicinity the three best bits of humor in the course Of a week. These will be printed in the Fun Shop column saturday night of each week. and will be paid for at the rate Of one dollar each. The copy will also be sent to New York and the contributor, in addition 10 the Herald prize. will have an opportunity 10 get the money for an acceptance in the nation- al column.

ATTENDING HEARINGS

The Herald has many times urged attendance at the hearings of com mittees of the common council. The main work of transacting the affairs of the city is done in committee, and 1t is here that facts are brought out showing the reasons for action taken.
 Tie chairman of the ordinance committee has publicly invited every one interested in the traffic ordinances to attend the public hearing Thursday evening in city hall. As this is an- nounccd to be public hearing 1t would seem that special invitation were not needed, but the added em- phasfs given by the little announce nent in the Herald of yesterday is worth while.
 The people interested vitally. or who think they are vitally Interested, will attend. If they think proposed traffic ordinance will hurt their busi- ness, they WILL Ue tHtiS to hs shN iN' tA~ people who are only interested in a special traffic rule as greater group of citizens may be interested to sec II go through. may not take the trouble to attend the hearing.
 It devolves upon the ordinance com mittee, therefore, in considering all the ordinances to determine the spe- cial interest which prompts those who speak for or against some traffic rule and to be guided by consideration of all the people of-the city rather than by the unopposcd arguments o' some one individual who appears fo' selfsh reasons alone. The traffic ord,' nances, in other words, should b' made with a view to the best interests of all of the people of the city givini due consideration to arguments pr' and con.

MOTOR ACCIDENTS

Tho especially significant fact Tn regard 10 the motor accidents and inc number of cars in the state, as just given out by the state motor vehicle department, is not the great Increase in the number Of cars since 1910, but rather the fact that one out of every 12 cars in the state was in- volved, last year. in an accident, while fin 1918 one out of every 42 was thus involved. Quite naturally, with the great increase in the number Of cars there is greater difficulty in driving. The more cars there are the greater the chance for accident, as shown by the weekly toll reported Monday mornings.
 But the increase in the number of cars would not fully explain this sig nifcant fact that one in i2 has an ae- cident now where one in 42 had an accident six years ago. With the in- creased use Of cars there has come. also. an increased carelessness on the part Of drivers. According to the figures given. there being 5,S5S regis tered motor vehicles in New Britain, .ss of these cars must have been in- yolvcd in an accident This does moi mean necessarily that there were 4SG careless drivers in this city. for the accidents. many of them. may have been due to the carelessness or reek- lessness Of others But it does mean that some 4ss New Britain people were involved in accident for which someone was to blame. many of which flo all probability, might have been avoided by unusual care on the part Of the drivers of the cars registered from this city.
 If anything as tragic as death and serious accident may be cailcd tiTe- some. then certainly t is tiresotnc for people 10 he forced to take notice every Iitfle while Of the awful danger that comes from motor vehicle traffic Moreover oihinE should be said to sisconrage the development Of th.s great industry that las given etn- ployment to many people of the coun- try and which has brought new ma tarial wealth to tho world. to say nothing of inc better health it has brought to many who can nos get ou' in the open and enjoy the fresh sir ss never before. Tor these reasons q should not be the development Of tho industry fitat should be discouraged but rather the emphasizing Of the shines necessary 10 be done 10 prevent fhe death toll becoming so terrible that drastic measures must be taken

them in his own shroud of conserva- tism.
 The national committee would have none of Senator Borah as the Cleve- land keynote speaker-at least this is the attitude at the moment. One keen political observer interprets the selee- ton of Theodore E. Burton, of Ohio, for the keynote speaker as surrender by President Coolidge to the national committee group. This conservative crowd is fighting to eliminate from the party all the liberals such as Sem ator' Norris of Nebraska, while the president wants especially to have the enthusiastic support of Senator Borah in the campaign. It is quite probable that he may succeed in this, but not ! to the extent of having the Idaho 1 senator make the nominating speech. Were President Coolidge of the na- ture of the late Theodore Roosevelt he would undoubtedly insist upon. the carrying out of his wishes even if 1t should become necessary to supplant Chairman Adams of the republican national committee, who, it is proba- ble, has quite list of men he would like to strike from the party rolls, ana Senator Borah is, at least, substitute on that list.
 i It is rather amusing to note that Senator Borah is not popular with the
 old guard because, as Chairman Of the Senate committee investigating the
 Wheeler indictment, he has not as-
 stunned from the beginning that the in-
 dictment was perfectly right and ; proper and was made for no polinca purpose. He appears to be consider
 ing seroiusfy the allegation that the indictment of the democratic senator
 was a frame-up to break the enecl of the Daugherty investigation. It vii
 be remembered that the Nationa
 committee stood by Daugherty ant
 tried to prevent President Coolidge
 from obtaining his resignation, whil' Borah together with the majority O the people of the country wanteS
 Daugherty dismissed. As betweei
 Borah and the republican nationa committee, therefore, quite aside iron
 politics. there can be little difference , of opinion.
 Under conditions similar In man,
 ways, Theodore Roosevelt acted dras !. tically; President Coolidge will not.

might be advisable to take away for ever the licenses of those who were to blame for accidents. But there is too great a chance of error to ad- vocate, as yet, this drastic course. At the moment, then, pending the time when some cure for such driver is found, it is for the careful driver to exercise more than proper care. If, for instance, a man sees another car trying to pass him at a place where he should not make the attempt in view of the fact that another car is approaching from the other direction, and the careful driver sees the speed CT cannot get by him without turning in too quickly, the careful driver must slow up to give room for the speeder. It is humiliating 10 feel that the thoughtless, the reckless the worse oi the country have gone so far in their FtckleSsHess do bo hi"A~ ~ for the decent people to give way to them, but this. at the moment, seems the only way out of the terrible situ' ation.

SURPLUS SHOWN IN
 NEW HAVEN REPORT
Margin of Sit,542 Above Deficit !, for Quarter

Boston, April 29.--With a surplus after charges of s456,904 for March, the New Haven railroad entirely over came the deficits shown in January and February, thus closing the first quarter of 1924 with surplus of $11,- 542, This is a remarkably good per- tormance, as New Haven has rarely in the past earned its charges in the first quarter, says the News Bureau. Frequently deficits for the period have been large. In March last year there was a deficit of $6S5,612, and for the first quarter the deficit was $4,6SS,5S0.
 The answer lies not in any large in crease in gross but in very substan- tial reduction in operating expenses and in equipment hire charges, re- suiting from material increase in op- erating efficiency and better weather conditions. March grass was actually s3S3.162 behind that of March, 1923, and for three months ended March S1 there was a gain of only s1SS,06S in 1 gross.
 On the other hand, March operat- i ing expenses were S777,S50 less than i in March, 1923, and the reduction was wholly in transportation ex- penses and not in maintenance. The debt for equipment hire and joint facility rentals was only $s5S,f16, against $1,022.S2s in March last year.
 Similarly for the three months period the reduction in operating ex- penses was s2,462,653. the bulk of 1t in the transportation account. Debit for equipment hire and joint facil- ity was only s1,036.o54. compared with $2,s25.691 in the first quarter of last year.
 Reduction in these items has spelled a vast difference in net oper- ating income. For the three months ended March 31 this was s4,2S9,s5S, against an operating deficit of sSl5,- 40s in the corresponding period oi 1928.
 It is worth noting that the March surplus after charges was larger than that shown in any month in 1928 the nearest approach being sur plus of s4o7.74s in December last Taking a constructive year from April i, 1923, to March Sl, 1924, New Haven has earned a surplus in nine out of the 12 months and for inc period shows a surplus over charges of better than s1,700.000.

STANLEY QUARTER PARK

The board of finance and taxation will take up tomorrow evening, among other things the matter of the de- velopment at this time of part oi the work planned to be done in the Stanley Quarter park. The common council has approved the project after hearing the plans of the park com mission and after full consideration Of the subject which is not new one.
 The most important consideration entering into this proposal is that 1t is a part of the general plan to im- prove the approach to the city from all directions. The state came to our aid in this regard by it's construction of the fine new road from Plainville, from the west. but practically nothing has been done on the north side where there lies the land so susceptible or creating a splendid impression of the city by those entering 1t from the dl- rection of Hartford.
 The work planned to be done at this time will be at the point where 1 this land joins the road. The approach l to the city, at present, from this di- rectlon is certainly in need Of im- proyement and often objection is made regarding residence north of the city because of the unsightly portions i of the city which must be passed through before reaching it The im- proycment Of this park, at this point, would undoubtedly enhance the value of the property in this quarter and would give an entirely different itn- presslon of the city 10 those coming from that direction.
 It is difficult to emphasize the im- portance of any one part Of a develop ment program without considering the whole plan. The need of one com paratiyely small piece of work may al first seem insignificant, but whcr taken together with plan alread, made to develop the outskirts Of th' city in such way that it will disclose proper sense Of proportion betweef the practical and the artistic, then th' artistic at once becomes valuable prac tically. IL is hoped the proposed de velopment Of portion Of the stanlel 'i Quarter park, as explained by Chair man Brooks, will be found to b' feasible.
 In regard to the bond issue iron which a portion of the cost Of th' memorial to the dead service mel will be paid. it p suggested that som of these bonds he offered for popuia subscription. if this would not involv too great delay and many mechanica objections. New Britain has not bee over jealous 10 make haste to build
 memorial other than the Court Q Honor on Walnut Hill park. but thi fact does not mean that the people c the city arc not as sincerely eager | nay their tribute 10 inc memory . those men as other cities have show thsmselvss 10 be. II is quite probabi that as matter of sentiment man of tho residents Of the city would lik 10 have this chance 10 purchase som of the bonds through which the cree ion of the memorial will Dc mad possible. Those not locally subscrit ad could be Then sold after the manne obtaining usually in the case of mum cipai bonds.
