Will come now have something as,
 Economically tangible upon which
 10 pin our deductions. "The end of
 race is just as certain as the end
 Of an individual; no thing and no
 group of things endures forever"
 Prof Smith, Of the Chicago insti. tutlon. quotes Cosmologist MacMtl-
 Ian.
 How this will happen, according to the new cosmological conclu. s'ons, Is that the moon. which Sir George Darwin Of Cambridge about
 10 years ago claimed was once a piece of the earth and got away from 1t in the course Of time, will some day return to the earth. The separation is only temporary; 1t is not an absolute divorce" says Prof. Smith.
 We arc fabbcrgasted at the idea. Imagine the moon gradually return Ing to the earth. Although a satel- lite, Luna has considerable size, and II II were to begin slipping hack to the bosom of mother earth there is no telling how sad the consequences would be. Imagine the thing falling in the Atlantic ocean. The seas would be pushed aside and mum date all of Connecticut, along with most of continental United States. lt the moon fell on dry land, as 1t were, something would have 10 give way. and there is a possibility that no newspaper would have time 10 carry the story.
 It is a cruel thought all around. Human nature might be far from Ideal, and the human race may be entitled 10 some punishment occa- sonally, but this wholesale method Of destruction as the moon falling down upon us is nearly too much for our harasscd intellect to grasp. Why, the blow might smash the en- tire earth asunder, the friction and grinding would cause sea of fire, and the oceans would so up in steam, and poor humanity proud and achieving humanity --~ would perish at one blow.
 But 1t avails us nothing to be heartbroken at the lurid prospect. As a million years to an astronomer is like the wink of an eyelash to the remainder of us mortals, this planetary kissing scene will not oc- cur for au inordinattly long time. When the story breaks millions Of generations Of newspaper men will have manhandled typewriters and returned to the downy beds Of their fathers, The final tribe of news paper hoys - those who will be on he scene when the moon finally slips it's gears and tumbles to the earth - will not be able to work fast enough to handle the story It will be all over in a flash and there- after no reporters will need 10 tus- sle with assignments. The big news will have happened without any papers to chronicle it and without any readers to feel disappointed.

REGAINS HEARING
Girl Who Was Deaf Since Childhood Hears Airplane Motors After
 300-Foot Dive,

Chicago, Dec. 1l.--A sudden l,500.foot nose dive in an airplane has apparently restored the sense of hearing 10 girl who had been deaf since she was three years old. Pilot Burt B. Burley took the girl, Gwendolyn Caswell. up in the air about two miles. He maneuv- cred his ship into series of dips and slips and after long drop mo- ticed that the girls facial exprcs- sion had changed. Coming to the ground, she explained as bes: ale could, that she had heard the motor and that its noise bothered her.
 Miss Caswell was born in England - years ago and came here in 1919. English physicians advised the treat ment she was given today.

ENHANCING THE EFFICIENCY
 OF POLICE FORCE

puerlng strong drink to pollce- men while on duty cannot be de- tended on the score of personal liberty. A policeman, even before the dust Of Sahara was blown across the country had no rights in this connection. When he vas on duty not even one lone drink could legally pass his parched lips without his running the risk of going on the carpet about 1t. Now that prohibition prohibits the gen. eral use Of alcoholic beverages it k ridiculous to be more lax and permit an oflcer of the law to fout the law he Is supposed to help en- force.
 The two supernumerarles who were dismissed for drinking liquor in the cellar Of a friend should have known better than to be so thoughtless, az to permit their craving for 8 good time to ctrcum- vent their better judgment. But the persons who tempted the cops are not blameless and many good folks think they are entitled 10 more than merely being "censured" by Police Commissioner Parker. al- though the law probably does not permit of their being placed in jail for their mistaken cordiallty and hospitality.
 The supernumeraries who were dismissed can have no fault to find with the administration of police justice. They were tempted and fell. A policeman has no business falling in the face of temptation. Their chief quarrel is with the tempters.
 Just as important is the an- nouncement by the board of police commissioners that courtesy Is a primary qualification in the make up of a policeman, and that even when making an arrest 1t must be carried out without undue violence. The day when young athletic po- lIceman felt it part of his duty to beat up" prisoner Is happily past. No policeman has that right except so far as 10 defend himself in the face of violent resistance. A person being arrested is still inno- cent in the eyes Of the law - inno- cent until proven guilty in court. A policeman must always bear this
 ct In mind. The man who is mis-
 ,ated while being arrested, and
 en is dismissed by the juIge, has It received a square deal and 1t
 possible he would have a right
 action against the policeman.
 Most New Britain policemen are >urteous; there is and has been a >irit of proper dealing with the IbTic tncalculatod in thedepar,ment
 hich IS commendabIe. But the tile reminder resulting from the caring Of a charge that was not lstained, can 10 no harm.
New Britain herald., 1924-12-11

they are entitled to be retired oI
 a half-pay pension If they desire
 it' But there is no provision in the
 charter making It obligatory to re.
 tire on a pension. That is a point
 that tho police commission wants
 corrected,
 If ono speaks to one of the vet.
 erans of the force about retiring t
 leads to a heart breaking ordeal
 They do not wish 10 retire; they
 think if they discontinue attending
 10 their duties they will rapidly de-
 teriorate and perhaps die. This Is
 a natural feeling, but according 10
 the police commissioners, 1t is en-
 tirely erroneous. There are a great
 many men Of 65 In other lines Of
 endeavor in this and any other cities who would be glad to retire at half pay for the remaiAdcr ot their lives, and others who retire from active enlcavors altogether.
 To have been a policeman for ?5 years, constantly facing the proh- abilities of being In the thick Of trouble and being in an occupation that 10 say the least is not rated highly by the life insurance com panies, is life's work that many believe should be enough for any man, especially if he reaches the age where retirement Is advisable. The older men on the force. who might be affected If such a revision Of the charter were brought about, arc entitled 10 congratulauon, and not sympathy.
 It is an honor to any man to be known as a retired policeman, one who served 25 years or more in the city, He is as mucn entitled to honors and q medal as a soldier who gave meritorious service in the army. But a generous pension to the end of his days has more intrinsic value than a medal and should be rather than spurned.
 It Is believed entirely likely that the charter revision committee will to such a change in the city's basic law. And instead of be- the advent of likeness. those who will be affected should regard 1t as an advisable step and be willing to accept the inevitable gracefully.
 The system which permits rctire- ment upon half pay is generous. After a man has been in the serv- ice of the city as a bluecoat for 25 years or more, the city would be the last 10 treat him shabbily. The man who dcvotes his life 10 being a policeman not only works for wages but yields part Of his per sonal safety every minute of the time he IS on duty. He protects life and property and is in constant danger while doing so. All this IS not only admitted by the city au- thorities but is appreciated. And then, when the time comes when nature slows down the physical and mental faculties to the point where It Is advisable to discontinue fol- lowing such q hazardous and exact Ing occupation, 1t is the part Of wisdom to let go and permit the younger members of the force to take up the burden.
 Congratulations are in order at such a time. No policeman who has retired on his pension need hesi- late 10 show himself in the best of company. He has made a heroic sacrifice of his safety in the public for a considerable period of time and is entitled to every honor and regard that can be bo- slowed a fitting member of an it. lustrious body of society-ho mon who keep the peace.
