been made to go way up to Washing ton street and allow noparking long CT than 80 minutes there, with none at all on one side of the street. There is decided inconsistency here.
 The tendency should be always to educate the people to the fact that as long as the highways were built to ac- primarily those who would traverse them. parking is an extra ordinary privilege and should be per mitted only where necessary and in a way that will benefit majority of the people.

THE CTTN'S NEEDS


 It is quite natural that people living ! in a certain section of the city know i the needs Of that section and urge 1 that those needs be met. Not always i does selfshness inspire their action in
 starting a movement to have repairs ] in the streets, for instance. made in 1 that section. \ man seeing d street i always in poor condition near his own home may urge repair Of the street i even though he himself may never use i it and though he is not looking to in- crease the value of property in that section. This is all good. Were is not for the energy of residents of all sec tions of the city there would be for gotten places that would continue to be eyesores and worse year after year. Usually the need of a certain To- cality are brought to the attention Of the authorities by the representative of the ward Of which that locality is part. No representative does his duty by his constituents unless he does keep track of conditions in his ward and does his best to see to it that his ward receives proper attention, No matter how well we may know our city, there will be certain sections Of it in which there is need of improvement and to which improvement the residents of that section are entitled. but of which we do not know.
 One Of the points emphasized re- garding Mayor Paonessa was that he does know the city and most Of the needs of the various localities. Whether or not he should be given especial credit for seeing to it that certain streets in various parts of the city re- ccived much needed attention, the fact remains that many of them did re- ceive attention. And they were widely separated sections, too, The efficient city engineer. of whose familiarity with details of conditions in the city comment has been made, may be re- sponsible for making many of the needs plain. Not only were the sections where most of the mayors supporters live attended to. but also the Lincoln road extension, the highway leading | to the Shuttle Meadow club, was re- paired much to the qualification Of the | members Of that club. II is 10 the | credit Of the administration that one element Of the population of the city was not considered to the exclusion Of another.
 Now comes one Of the representa- ! lives Of the first ward seeking to have ! repairs made on Shuttle Meadow ave- 1 nue from Arch street to Corbins 1 corner and on other streets in that | section. This is a proper request. One street, however, has been left out, ap- parontly, which should be given nt- | tention. There is no mention or Win throp which, for fifty years or more , from the point where it intcrsects | Vance street, was completely under | water recently, aud which is almost | impossible many times during the | year. Some repairs have been made, but the bad condition has not been | rectilied entirely. This should have , been made, but the bad condition has not been rectifed entirely. This should l be included in the proper resolution and the attention Of the board of pub lie works called 10 the need for street | improvement there where many new houses are going m and where many have recently been built.

AN ABSURD SITUATION


 | Once in while it becomes pain 1 fully plain how the legislators of the i state and nation may get their state ] or all the states into absurd positions : in the mania for passing laws pos sessed by such solons. Sometimes they
 wish to regulate some matter, seeing
 but one side of it. and in passing a law for this purpose they create an al- most impossible situation when the
 law affects matters of which they
 thought nothing in their concern over the other aspect.
 The United States supreme court
 has just made ruling that the state of Connecticut, and other states as we'll has no right to demand the elimination of grade crossings within it's borders or the participation by rail- roads in the erection of Union stations or repairs thereto. An appeal must be made to the interstate commerce com mission at Washington: such petition must be considered by it, and it alone may order such action as it sees fit.
 There is a Connecticut law requir- ing the elimination of a certain num- Der of grade crossings in Connecticut yearly. The enforcement of this law was suspended for a time because, of the impossibility of enforcing it against the roads in the financial con- dition in which they found themselves. But start under it has been made and people of this locality have seen at least one benefit from it in the elimination of the dangerous Clayton crossing recently.
 Undoubtedly the decision Of the United States supreme court is the correct decision resulting from proper | interpretation Of the law as 1t exists. l It is not with the decision that fault l is found. Criticism. however. is proper | ly directed at those responsible for l passing laws which, when thus inter l preted, will compel constant appeal 10 | the over-w worked interstate commerce 1 commission at Washington when any state finds the danger of any grade crossing obscure 10 be so evident that its elimination is demanded by every rule Of common sense. Instance the matter of the Clayton Crossing here. Hearings were necessary before the public utilities commission before it was determined which of three plans should be adopted. The people desir- ed an overhead crossing or bridge. Tho railroad submitted other plan or plans. It may be seen easily what added delay would come were it nee- nssary 10 attend like hearings in over such a matter--and what added cost.
 Of course. under this decision Of the United States court, the Connecticut lhN requiring ils fhbiAiaiuH 'A I grade crossings can not be enforced. Thus something that has always been considered a matter for state regula- lion has been put under federal com trol It is but one of many. And, too. things that have been considered al- ways 10 be matters coming within ,ne's own rights, ones personal rights, nave been placed under federal and ,tate control. Thinking people arc quite aside from this mat .er Of grade crossings and railroads. where federal control of state and in- lividuals of the states is going to md.

With the municipal election out Of the way, politicians are scanning the horizon for signs which will indicate popular sentiment in the fall when the electors will register their prefer ence for president.
 Many republicans are Of the opin- ion that there must be house. cleaning within the party before that time if a victory in this city is to be looked forward to. IT has often been said that he republican party can count on the people to vote for its ticket at 8 presidential election. But certainty has disappeared. It is pos sible that New Britain will be found in the democratic column when the returns are in. unless the republicans have new men at tho helm.

GRIFF ADDS RUETHER
TO VET MOUND CORPS

A pitching staff long in experience
as well as in talent seems to be the
aim of the management of the world
champion Nationals. To Vean Gregg
and Stanley Coveleskie, veterans of
the diamond purchased and obtained
in trade by the Washington club
since the world series. has been add
ed the 31-year- Walter Ruether,
left-hand hurler, who has been
around the big show since 1913.
Ruether's purchase from the Dodg-
ers of the National League was an
nounced in Chicago last night by
Clark Griffith. president of the local
aggregation, but Griff failed to state
I've price paid. No players were in
tslved in the deal.
Ruether, after a brief trial with
tse Pirates in 1913, was returned to
the Pacific Coast League. whence he
came, but the Cubs grabbed him in
1917. They sold him that year to the
Reds, and he did some good hurting
for Cincinnati in 1919. winning game
in the standardized world series
with the White SoX that season
At the end of the 1920 campaign
the Reds traded Ruether to the
Dodgers for Rube Marquard. His
first two years with the Brooklyn
outfit were good ones but he slip
ped a triie in 1929 and last year
southpawed his way to eight VIC
tories, but lost thirteen games.
Dutch several years ago was rated
a batter of no mean ability. He wal
loped the ball we'll for the Reds and
rose to a .3OS average with the Dodg-
ers in 1923. In 1924, however. his
clubbing mark shrunk to .23S.

money. Both Prince Rodney and Mo-
money were national field trial cham
pions, so that Cobb's Hall had almost
perfect breeding for field trial com
petition. Cobb trained the dog dur
ing the Winter months, shooting over
him, but when he came North in the
Spring he had to turn the dog over
to a professional handler during the
base ball season. The field trials
were held at Grand Junction. Tenn.
in the Autumn, and Cobb's Hall and
others were pitted against Mary
Montrose, the undefeated champion
and the greatest field trial performe er
America has produced. She was a
pointer. Under the professional
handler Cobb's Hall did not behave
well. He lacked the fine finish that
he showed when Cobb handled him,
but even at that, he finished dead
heat with Mary Montrose and an
extra heat had to be run to decide
the championship. As related in a
previous chapter, in this extra heat
the decision went to Mary Montrose.
1t was the nearest the famous Mary
ever came to defeat, and she would
have been beaten over the Tennessee
field at the trials If Cobb could have
had charge of his star
Dogs are a great thing for boys,
says Cobb. There is no truer COM
panion than a dog and a boy in the
company of a dog is in good COM
pany If he observes the dog, which
he will do naturally. he can learn a
great deal that will be helpful to
him.
Dogs are among the worlds great
est instructors. Few of US realize
that, but If you are around dogs and
study them you will soon discover
this to be a fact For one thing,
dogs are much more moral than men.
They have their own code and it is
the only perfect one. In other ways
are dogs superior to the human be-
ing. If we studied dogs more and
copied some of their virtues we would
all be better off. What a precious
human being man would be who
had the loyalty, the honesty, the
frankness, the honor and the deep
and sincere friendship that we find
in the dog"
