WIDER ROADS.

Traffic on the Boston Post road between New York and most points it touches in connecticut is enor- nous. The jam of automobiles on Sundays and holidays is particularly serious.
 The road is the main artery of traf- fife between New York and Boston, It should be wider; and there should be other main arteries" between the same cities to bear a share of the traffic.
 As to width: The Lincoln High way association has built a model highway" for a stretch of several miles out in Indiana, near the Hi nois line. The object was to indi- cate what a modern main highway road should be like. If memory serves correctly, the highway is more than 100 feet wide along the model" stretch, and at night is as well lighted as a city street.
 For all our main highways to be of such calibre will cost a mint of money; eventually, however, they will be much wider than those we know today.

U. of P. Opens Today
 For Its 18th Year

Philadelphia, Sept. 26.-The Uni versity of Philadelphia opened its lS5th year today with exercises in Weightman Hall.
 While the complete enrolment will not be known for two weeks, the number of students registered will be in excess of 15,000 including those tn the summer and extension courses. In accordance with the policy outlined by President Josiah H. Penniman and approved by the board of trustees, the enrolment in nearly all departments has been res- tricted. More than 1000 students who applied for admission ceuld not be accommodated. F
 Discussing the cost Of education, President Penniman said that sta- tistics recently published showed that at one of the oldest American universities the students paid an average of s26T while for each stu dent the university expended an average of sSS5 a year. He declared that students who received scholar ships owed 1t as their primary duty to the universities and colleges to repay it as soon as they were able after entering business.

WIVES.

MacMillan, the explorer, tells us that the Eskimos swap wives and loan them to guests as courtesy. There are no divorces in Greenland.
 In Pondoland, South Africa, 8 dispatch says natives who purchased wives ou the installment plan are likely to lose them because hard times has made it impossible to make the payments.
 Our system, despite the increasing divorce rate, is infinitely better. Yet if divorces. in effect mean merely the swapping of wives the system is no better than in Greenland; and mar riages devoid of love but merely a case of marrying for money" are no enormous improvement over the system of buying wives in South Africa.

POLICE NEED EQUIPMENT

Giovanni Vottari who escaped after killing Joseph Angelo and dangerously wounding Mrs. Amelia Scorsota, was able 10 flee partly because the police department of New Britain was not equipped to permit policemen to be informed of the murder quickly enough.
 Had a flash light system on police boxes been established the entire po- lice force of the city could have been advised 10 watch for Vottari and probably effect his capture before he was able to leave the city.
 The Board of Finance and Taxa ton recently turned down an appro- priation to install such system. This was done on the plea of "econ- omy"
 "Economy" that permits criminals to escape is of the wrong kind.
 The city should install such system at once. It should have been installed years ago.

Man haitian Island is being given over to business to a greater extent each year; the buildings devoted to busi- ness interests are crowding the homes right off the map of the island.

 But where can'New Workers go to live and remain New Workers? They can commute from the provinces ad- jacent to the city on the north, and from Long Island, and thousands do so.
 But toward the west, where thou sands also commute, is New Jersey and to the northeast is Connecticut. Stamford is but an hour or so from the heart of the metropolis.
