BOYS CLUB CORPS WINS
 AWARD AT SPRINGFIELD
Captures Third Price In Competition At Eastern States Exposition
 Extra Points For Marching

The Boys Club fife and drum corps has been awarded third prize of $50 in the junior competition at the Eastern States exposition at Springfield, according to an an- nouncemcnt received by Superin- tendent Dwight Skinner this morn ing. The local corps, which played on Tuesday, made a fine impression on the judges because of it's excel lent marching, for which it was warded extra points
 This showing on the part of the boys is surprisingly creditable, for the corps has been formed less than a year and few of the boys had done anything along fling or drumming lines before organization last De- cember. They made rapid progress under the guidance of Peter Me- Cram, member of the Y. NJ. T. A. & B, corps, and were not allowed to appear in public until they were deemed fully At. Their first appear ance was in the American Legion parade in Torrington, while New Britain got its first glimpse of them on Defense Day. At Springfield they competed against organizations which are much older, but were on edge and were awarded third money.
 The local Girl Scout fife, drum and bugle corps. which competed yester- day, did not place.

AUTOS AND BANDITS

When the first use of the automo- bile by bandits came over the news wiro-on a Sunday night from Paris about l5 years ago-the story re- ceiyed worldwide publicity and com- mcnt
 Hew the motor car has lent itself 10 the nefarious business of robbery since that time is known to all. It Is rather a unique crime nowadays in which the automobile does not figure as a means of attempted escape.
 Two such robberies were added to the records yesterday-one near St. Louis and the other near Newark. In both instances a waiting machine, with engines running. served as the vehicle of flight.
 What is to be done amout it? Time was when a criminal had to rely upon getting himself Host in the crowd" when attempting fight-a precarious proceeding He gam0led with chance and the odds were against him. Nowadays the situation is reversed and the fleet gasoline conveyance offers quick means ot gaining a lead on pursuers.
 The method to be followed is to tighten up defense methods at the source of robberies. If it is necessary for banks to turn into arsenals' let it be done. If messengers carrying money must go escorted by armed guards use the guards. It is nearly always too late after bandits have succeeded in reaching their waiting automobile.

BRIGHT AND DULL PUPILS

The suggestion of Sunt Holmes that a way be found to improve teaching methods in the New Britain schools whereby bright pupils are not held back by those of less intelIi- gence and the dull pupils are ad- vanced more rationally, will meet with commendation.
 Myths to the contrary, we are not all born equal; and no pretense can change that fact. The so-called laboratory method of teaching, in the belief Of educators. faces reali- ties with 8 logical method of peda- gogy designed to enhance the ad- vancement of brainy and industrious pupils and make study interesting and profitable 10 those of slower per- captions, thus Iessening the possibili- ties of producing failures.
 If the laboratory method raises the standard of accomplishment put it in force. The higher the standard the greater the satisfaction, by both pupils and parents.

MORRIS FOR GONERNON

Nomination of Charles Gould Mor- ris of Newtown and New Haven as the gubcrnatoriaI candidate on the Democratic ticket came without contest and without months of pre- convention pulling of wires me oon,inatiou was spontaneous tribute to the son of an honored former governor. a gentleman of fine character. nigh ideals and outstand- ing ability. In contrast to these qualities. he is not a politician, does not ask fayors of any political ma chine and is untouched and unintiu- enced by political bosses
 The Democratic party oi me state has the type oI man running for governor who it is customary 10 declare ought to run for high office, instead Of leaving high office 10 the sycophants of political ma chimes. The people of the state have an opportunity to decide whether they want an idealistic, htEh-mlnded governor or one who permitted his ambition to be furthercd by the state machine.
 The remainder of tho Democratic state ticket, chosen spontaneously and without hiclcring or suggestions nv rxtraneous influence, is likewise of high caIibcr.

INTERSTATE BIS LINES

Busses have been placed in opera ton between Springfield and ProFi- dence and because this is interstate business the situation has created consternation among Springfield anti-buss agita'ors who find it d'iii- cult if not impossible to regulate the enterprising firm out of business.
 The railroad companies, rarlcn- lar,y the New Haven railroad through whose territory the inter- citv bus lines referred 10 pass are considerably excited and really don't know what to do about it. Lawyers say congressional action is necessary in the situation, but this takes long lime and meanwhile the busses are running. A court order will be at tempted, it is said, but it is difficult to see how the order of state court could have any influence over inter- state business. Massachusetts lawyers argue pro and con, ;ae "7Jcrity ap-

PARKING DIFFICULTIES.

In the town of Seymour like in this city the railroad company has dealt a sad blow to autoists who used railroad property near the town depot to park their automobiles. Automobiles compete with the trans 'portation companies and on general principles the company did not re- gard itself as being called upon 10 furnish free parking space to the contraptions which more than any thing else tend to reduce receipts at the ticket windows.
 Seymour's automobile population or that portion of 1t which used the railroad property as a. handy park ing place, is vexed at the. difficulty of finding sufficient parking places while car owners spend the day In shop, factory or store.
 The railroad company eVldentiy is not using the property. If 1t had made a nominal charge for parking privileges 1t could have earned profit.
 The difficulty of finding suitable spots for parking cars is one that IT, ritates automobile owners in all towns and cities, particularly the latter. The man who rides to work in an automobile dislikes exceeding ly to walk five minutes from his place of employment after he has brought his car to stop. Conditions in New Britain ape not yet as bad as they will get, for with the devel- opment of the downtown section lt is likely that places now used to park cars will be built Up, so that there will be contraction of avail able space, although the number or automobiles needing to be parked will increase.
New Britain herald., 1924-09-20

bearing to be of the opinion that the sus owners have the best of the argument, legal and otherwise,
 The effort to hinder the establish mcnt of busses between cities is made solely by the transportation interests. A trolley company objects to busses between Hartford and Springfield on the east side of the Connecticut river. The proposition is fought on general principles, and under the belief that busses just naturally will give the people desired service and interfere wi'b the older means of transporlato Big auto manufactur- CTS are financially backing the bus mon to put up legal battle.
 The fight against in$astate buases seems destined to fail, They have been operating for number of years between some cities in differ- ent states and in all probability will continue to do so, lfShey give better local service than tho railroads, then the railroads will have to yield be- fore the improved means of trans portation, just like the stage coaches welded to the railroads.

DRAINING US DRY

A cleanup" of liquor dispensaries in and near Waterbury; more mop ping up at MlddIetown; and now the heavy hand of the law in Bridgeport.
 It looks as if this talk of flaw en- forcement" is'no longer mere verbal morsels to warble on the tongue.
 Judge Banks in Bridgeport goes the limit of them alI-1ail sentences instead of fines when possible, and heavy fines in most if not all cases. The judge says his patience is cX- hausted. When they get that way the road of the transgressor gets twice as hard as usual.
 It's a pity that folks get into trouble over the kind of liquor dealt in nowadays, according to the ac- counts Of those who smell the stuff occasionally.

COMMUNICATED
Mattabassett River

The Editor of the New Britain Herald:
 sir:-After an absence of about 30 years I took advantage of Labor Day vacation to pay most en- joyable' visit to East Berlin.
 l found 1t even prettier than when l lived there, the trees lining the streets having attained to near ly full growth, added much to its beauty, and there were several new new residences which were an ornament to the landscape and a credit to the architects and build CTS.
 The pretty Episcopal church de- signed by w, Fogette and built. as I understand, largely through the generosity of MT. Clark, proprie- tor of the new East Berlin brick works was source of very deep qualification to me, especially when l remember that was one of the charter members when the Episco- pal church was organized in East Berlin and the first services were held in the Knights of Pythias hall, which had been permitted by the bishop.
 But I am sorry to say there was cloud that dimmed the sunshine of my never-to-be-forgotten enjoy able visit, and that was the condi- ton of the Maitabassett river.
 Instead of 8 clear sparkling stream, in which my daughters and I spent macy happy hour turing the f1nny tribe, 1t had become 8 sluggish, filthy cesspool, and was told it was caused by the sewage of New Britain-surely there must be something wrong somewhere! Tn my early manhood I was in the office and on the stat of a prominent firm of sanitary engin- eers in Liverpool, England. One of the towns for which that firm designed systems of sewerage, was Walton, near Liverpool, snd I ulSt- HClly ItlllCllpSl llldt lllC outlSt into the river from the Altering and de-odorizing tanks was quite clear.
 The proprietors Of land al'ls the banks of the Mattabassstt river ought to rise in righteoue wrath and sue the city of New Britain for heavy damages for depreciation in the value of their property and the danger of infectious disease to near by residents must be great. The board of health of New Brit ain should ask some prominent sanitary engineer from Boston or New York to visit and inspect the system of drainage and filtration and find out what is the cause and apply the remedy withou: delay.
 Faintly hoping that you will give this letter a place in your corres- pondence column.
 Yours respectfully,
 GEORGE ANDREWS.

SPRINGFIELD FARES UP

The Public Utilities Commission or Massachusetts has granted the re- orcst of the trolley interests Tn snring6eld for ten cent fare, or three tickets for quarter The limit for ore-fare rides will be extended it is said; but only a small portion of the people will gain any oeneh' from this change.
 The increase puts fares in Spring field on a par with those ot the con nacticut company. The Springfield concern is said 10 have shown the commission that due to a recent wage increase granted by arbitrators 10 -s operators, a higher fare was nec- ossary for the company to survive.
 This is not the sole reason, how ever The real difficulty in Spring. field as in other of the smaller cities is that fewer persons are using the trolley cars. The automobile IS cutting into trolley business to such an extent in Springfield that the company has to obtain higher fare in order 10 make up for the loss
 Those who don't use autos not only have 10 dodge them when crossing streets but have to pay higher fares ,ay ygelv on account of autos, when they ride in trollcys.

THE SUGAR TARIFF

Tn terms of money, we are lfn- porting more than three times as much sugar as we did yearly be- tween 1910 and 1914, The imports of sugar this year are estimated al s375,O00, GOO, a triie more than last year. The tariff on sugar is high ana 1t is intended 10 safeguard our cane sugar and beet sugar industries; but from the face of the returns, 1t does not seem that the protection is very effective, except as to the cosI' There has been no shortage Of sugar. as was the case during the war, and housewives are left to their own con- centions of why the price remains high.
 An investigation of the sugar in- dustrv was ordered by congress 1S months ago, following disclosures that the Republican chairman Of the senate finance committee, Reed Sroot of Utah, acting in conjunction with a member of the cabinet at- .emrted to use the tariff-maklng mower to compel Cuban sugar grow CTS to reduce their production and thus increase sugar prices to Amerl- ran consumers. The administration If was charged, was willing to reduce the duty if Cuba consented to re- duce production, so that the price in America would not decline and thus interfere with the income of the American sugar trust. But Cuoa would not consent, and no tariff re- duction was granted.

Senator Shoot wrote to General Cro"def telling him to lay before the Cuban government the proposal to lower the sugar tariff if the Cuban planters curtaiIed their crops to 65 per cen' of normal.

YOUNG AT 114

A woman in New York lives to he 114 years and still feels young. She was born when Napoleon tried to re- vamp Europe. Her brother is hearty at 100; her son is young fellow of S9.
 There undoubtedly is a strain of longevity in that family. Yet It seems thetr mode of life helps their natural bent, It seems they are vege- tarians, but drink coffee.
 The lady 9f 114 likes to keep up with the news of the day, and has the newspapers read to her daily. She probably compares the follies Of 1924 with those of 1920, when she was 10 years Of age and never dreaming she would live through a period when 10,OoO,O00 people would die by the hand of a worse war than those in which Napoleon figured,
