GERMANY FOLLOWS ENGLAND
 IN CALLING ELECTION

The German election machinery appears to be quite as speedy as that in England. Scarcely was the Reichstag dissolved than call went out for general election to be held Dec. [.
 The election machinery working so speedily in European nations, with the people voting on issues shortly after they are created. that we are set to wondering whether the people also suffer with "apathy" during the election campaign. Press dispatches usually are silent upon this point.
 Dispatches from Berlin state that the so-called Dawes plan is not Endangered by the German cleo tion. It certainly would be showing poor sense for the German people to harass government officials in carrying out the provisions of this plan for rchabilitating the financial fabric of the nation; we are willing to give them credit for knowing better, and fortunately won't have long to wait. Of course, the re- suit of the election could not "up- set" the application of the plan in Germany, as that is an impossibil- ity, the government having entered into the plan and signed on the dotted line" as the salesmen are wont to say. But if the election should result in the placing in power of a majority of politicians who do not look with favor upon the plan it might produce consd- erable friction later.

WHERE "CHTC" WOMEN PLEASE THE EYE

Are New York's women more chic than women in other parts of these great United States? Candid Iy, We don't know; but not happen ing to live in New York we'll bet hole in doughnut to a rimlcss cipher that they aren't.
 Going bit further, and thereby making ourselves even stronger with fair femininity in the Nutmeg commonwealth, we'll venture the belief that New York girls are no more chic than damsels as we find them right in Connecticut.
 It isn't idle boasting, either There is a small part of New York S population that makes Fifth ave- nue sartorial experts feel prosper ous; but they are small percent axe of the population, A ride in any New York subway or walk on any street, including Fifth ave- nue itself, will prove that there is a larger percentage of quite ordin- arily dressed folks than one com- monly sees in Connecticut.
 A New England woman recently made her first trip 10 New York. Yes, therA are few who never have beSn to the metropolis, and Sne was one of them until she made the trip. On returning she said she didn't like it because of the large percentage of Addressed people she met in the downtown districts and in the cars. She said girls and women on the average dressed better in Boston or other New England cities she had visited,
 Sounds logical, too.
 Yet Count Armand de la Roche foucauld, termed a sartorial con- noisseur, who lives in Paris, de- clared on a visit 10 New York that the girls there bedimmcd the Par isiennes. The reason for his claim was that he circulated only among fair damSels for whom count had special attractions. He didn't take chances of losing his temper and shocking his artistic sense by taking note, of the average in the big city. And after all, 1t is the average, not the few at the top. who provide the general color scheme.

 Whether minute and comprehen- sive scrutiny of the trail of $l00,- 900 alleged to have been placed in the satchel and carried to Fall by F. l., Doheny, Jr., would substantlate the governments charge that the payment was part Of plot to put Doheny interests in control of the Calyfornia oil reserves remains to be seen. The announced intention of government counsel is to examine as many witnesses as necessary to de- tail the s100,o00 transaction from all angles.
 Near Afhe close of yesterdays ses- sion former Senator Atlee Pomerene of government counsel called to the witness stand Graham Young, treas urer of Blair and Company, New York investment securities firm, with which the older Doheny and his son had accounts.
 Over objection of defense counsel, Mir. Pomerene drew from the witness a description of how E. L. Doheny, Jr., had notified him on November .S0, 1921, that he would call that day to draw s100,o00; how this sl00,- 900 in currency was turned over to the younger Doheny in conference room of Blair & Co.,. and how De- heny put 1t ina little black satchel, a sort of overnight travelling bag"

TO ACT ON MILK LAW
Common Council to Discuss Situa- ton, Several Members Dissatisfied With Present Enforcement.

In addition to action on the may or's vetoes of two resolutions passed at the last session of the council, and the awarding of contracts for street and park work, the common council tonight will discuss the milk situation.
 An ordinance is in effect which requires that all milk sold in New Britain be pasturized or be pro- duced from tuberculin tested herds. This ordinance is not being lived up to because the state has not suf- ficient funds to carry on tests. Those dealers who are not comply ing have applied for tests and it is through no fault of theirs that their milk is not in Class A, the health board claims. On the other hand, members of the common council have called for a strict enforce ment of the rule and the city's po- lice in the matter will be settled upon tonight.
