A RED HERRING

When the late politician, Harry NJ
 Daugherty, sat astride Of the U. s
 department of justice, he was a pas maste or at calling attention 10 the sup
 posed ramifications of the communist: l in this country. In fact, everything
 Harry didn't like he called communis'
 tic; and after the senatorial commit | tee investigated his peculiar method oi administ stcring the department under , his jurisdiction he didn't hesitate to 1 call the entire inquisitorial proceeding 1 the result of communistic agitation.
 He said so to an assortment of his cronies in Ohio, whom he addressed
 after being thrown out of office.
 How little the communists amount to in the United States has just be- come known from the report of mem- bership made before the fifth congress of the third internationale at Moscow.
 G. S. Zinoyieff, chairman of the internationale congress at Moscow. told the delegates that there was mo reason to feel discoura ged" at the figures of international membership in the hands of the convention. The only reason for not feeling discouraged, it appears, was the fact that members of the Communist party increased in Russia from 4S0,000 to 600.o00-- which is a small enough minority in a nation of more than 100,OOO,o00.
 Figures from other countries were really discouraging and were explain ed by the belief that western nations were not inclined to follow the Mos COW methods. The figures from the United States showed that membership in the party had dropped from 10000 to 5000; in England it decreased from 10000 to 5000; in France from 1SS,- OOO 10 1Oo,O00; in Germany from 300,- 900 to 25O,OOO.
 Communistic activity, therefore, is officially admitted being on the down. grade in every civilized nation except Russia, where it probably also would be on the skids were it not for the ter roristic methods utilized to keep it alive. In the United States the maxi mum membership claim of 20,00O was just barely enough to make it ag its present membership of 5000 is barely sufficient to form the shell of an organization, if such ac- tually exists
 The red wave is nothing but an ex- ploded bugaboo, a bogy man without horns. It never had a chance 10 gain enough adherents in this country to worry a reasonable person.; but it | served as a convenient read herring for political tricksters and certain organizations the officers of which | shook down good salaries by foment- ing Communistic scares.

LESSON OF 4 WRECK

\ railroad wreck is reported from
 the west which clearly Illustrates the
 wrong way 10 operate trains--or the
 right way to encourage wfecks,
 A train on the Burlington railroad
 was 40 minutes late. A speedy mall train following it was eight minutes late. Instead of operating the trains on the assumption that time lost ean- not be recovefed--or should not be rceovered-both engineers irantieally attempted to make up for lost tme."
 The train ahead, however, was stop ped by signal. stoppage of the train is supposed to have automatically operated a stop signal in the rear which was supposed to hold the sec- ond train and prevent a collision.
 But the second train, eight minutes late, was travelling at high speed and passed the signal. As usual, the rail- road will claim the engineer passed the signal set against him; the engineer will say the signal wasn't against him. The probabilities are he was going so fast he didn't see it.
 The loss of life was heavy and the injured many
 It should be law, never to be broken, on all the well-regulated rail- roads that engineers must not attempt to make up lost time. The rule already is enforced on quite a number of rail- roads, with the result that possibili- ties of wrecks are put at the minimum. In the account of nearly every serious wreck one reads that the train was behind schedule and the engineer was trying to make up lost time. When that is being attempted the stage it set for troi.iNe.
 It will be remembered that during the Mellon regime the New Haven suffered from series of disastrous wrecks of such magnitude that all New England was alarmed It got so that the public was afraid to travel on the railroad. When that and other evidences of mismanagement had be- come intolerable, the regime came to an end and with it dawned d remark able change. Wrecks were eliminated | as if over night. Schedules were re- vised and stringent rules made for the ! safe operation of trains. The slogan, safety first" was made to permeate the minds of employees. Today the | New Haven, whatever its shortcomings may be in some respects, is one or the safest railroads in the country. Its record of safety the past few years is 100 per cent perfect so far as passengers are concerned.
 American railroads on the whole have made satisfactory efforts to ad- just their schedules and methods in the interest of safety. AS matter Of fact the fastest trains are not as fast as they used to be. The fastest runs between New York and Chicago, on both the New York Central and the formerly were s hours; now they are 20 hours. Similar slow ing of schedules has been made evil dent between ther cities The public has been pleased. No one wants to travel so swiftly that the chances of yrecks is increased. The main thing is to get at ones destination alive.

Yale Engineer Develops
 New Method for the Radio

New Haven, July 2.-A new method of radio casting developed at Yale uni- rersity and demonstrated before groups of engineers for several nights in Dunnam electrical laboratory was announced today by Franklin M Doo-
 little, instructor of communication en- gineering today. The method, ac- cording to Mir. Doolittle, makes 1t pos sible for radio listener to tell the loation of performers with respect to the microphone at the casting station as readily as though that individual were in a studio.

IMPROVING TRAFFIC

New Britain is getting moro
 metropolitan every day, Scarcely had
 the city recovered from the surprise,
 shock and dislocation incident 10 the routing of one-way traffic around the center, and the painting Of traffic lanes on the streets, and the gesticulating obsequiousness of the traffic cops, when the police commissioners step in to improve the system still further.
 It appears that the next morsel to attract the downtown eye will be um- brellas and stands for the traffic po- licemen. This is not only a good idea, but one bordering on briliance. The stands will lend the proper ele- ment of dignity to the official position and standing of the minions of the law whose duty it is to see that motor- ists obey the signals; while the um- brelas-probably of some gaudy, yio- lent hue so that no one possibly can miss seeing them-will prevent the suns rays on hot day from melting the sweltering policeman.
 This is scheme that will meet with popular approval. Traffic policemen should not be compelled to be unpro- tected from the sun while surrounded by a sea of hot asphalt. The umbrel- las will likewise be valuable aids on a rainy day, preventing the raindrops from spelling the cops disposition and making him wish he were home or in a dry climate.
 Painting the street traffic lines every week instead of every three weeks, also may be a reality soon. The commissioners have as good eyes as the general public, and they have noticed what is patent to the eyes of all beholders-that it is expecting. much of the white mush used in painting the lines to expect them to remain dstinguishable for three weeks.
 That the work should be done every week appears entirely necessary. It will make them prominent enough to prevent folks from missing them. As 1t is, on or about the beginning of the third week, if not the second, a part of the peripatetic populace gets tired of looking for the white lines, gives up and becomes jay walkers. The commissioners can make no mis- take by keeping the white lines white, and not permitting them to take on a camouflage.
 The cryptic words, "cross here" which have been painted on the walks In the downtown section, is another 1 sterling idea that meets with general | Those persons who are not | busy looking in shop windows will be sure to be looking on the sidewalks and can't fail to notice the artistic | sign painting. It will also emphasize to them that they should watch their steps and the pathways their steps travel while they are in the busy marts of downtown New Britain.
 These efforts unquestionably are meeting with the approval of citizens. The avalanche of automobiles has regulations; rules must also be adopt ed whereby the equally numerous pedestrians are jockeyed into CO., operating with modern twentieth cen- tury methods.
