COMMUNICATED
SUNDAY CLOSING.
Religion by Force Is No Religion, W. R. Uchtman Writes.

Editor New Britain Herald:
 I understand there is a plan on foot by religionists to take away all Sunday enjoyment (except that which the churches may have to offer) by urging laws upon the gov ernment to close up everything which is not religious. The object these men. seem to have in view is to ask the help of the state to com pei people to come to church. for if everything else is closed tight, there will be no other place to so. Personally I consider this entirely un-American and irreligious, for re- ligion by force is no religion. The Saviour Himself said: ''Whosoever will may come." There are a great number of the very best of Amer ican citizens who are not church members, but help to support it for the sood 1t does. There are other equally good patriotic men and women who keep another day such as Jews and Adventists. Besides all this, this puritanical movement is absolutely unconstitutional, for we read in our Constitutions: Every man shall be free and equal to wor- ship God according to the dictates of his own conscience" If a law abiding citizen should want to take an automobile ride on Sunday or play golf or baseball, where it could not possibly interfere with those who wish to worship. why make laws to forbid them. by refusing to sell them gasoline. If others wish to stay home to read the Sunday paper, why forbid the sale of it. Is this glorious country of ours to be under the rule of few misguided zealots. You may drive a horse to water, but you cannot make him drink. You may also driyes people into a church on Sunday, but can you make them worship? I think that this movement of religious CO., ercion would fill the churches with hypocrites. Surely every American believes in absolute liberty, religious or otherwise, and even the Bible gives us this freedom, saying Choose ye xxx whom ye will serve."
 W. R. UCHTMAN.

The railroad Isn't likely to do this, If 1t had been in favor of gas oline as a motive power such cars long ago could have been placed in operation on the "dinky line" be- tween New Britap station and New Britain Junction. The railroad sticks 10 the locomotive on this line, prob ably because the contraptlon is of a character which scarcely could be of service anywhere else except perhaps as yard engine.

THE NEW TIME TABLE

The new time table of the New Haven railroad is meeting with ap- proval along the main line and dis approval along the branch to Wa terbury.
 On the main line there are still trains that stop at Meriden that do not stop at New Britain Junction, or Berlin. but the Washingtonian, the fine new through train over the New Haven and the Pennsylvania to the nations capital and connecting for all points south, can be caught from Berlin by taking a slightly earlier train and making a close connection at New Haven with the through train.
 It is possible 10 catch the Mon- trealer through a connecting train to Hartford, Other through trains of major importance, when they do not stop at Berlin, are obtainable through close connections by earlier trains from New Britain, via either Berlin or Hartford. -
 Service on the Waterbury branch line seems to be getting worse con- stantly. Whether this is due to de- creased traffic or retrenehment is not known to the general public. Or perhaps it is due to the increased scommutation fares, which discourage Atrafic.
 Patrons along the branch line in the vicinity of Waterbury contend that gasoline-d driven sa.s should be
