KEEP THE TRACKS CLEAR

according to B. c. Cobb, manager
of many public utilities, no mere
combination of electrical railway and
motr bus is going to solve the prob
lem of city transportation. He says
that when one considers the tremen-
deus waste of time and money and
the great personal Inconvenience
caused to a large portion of city's
population on account of traffic
congestion, it seems almost unbe-
lievable that more and sbetter steps
have not been taken to remedy such
conditions.
Much relief could be given in the
present situation, he says, If city
authorities would see to it that the
street cars, on account of their car
rying such large number of peo-
pie, had preference over every other
form of vehicle travel. Such regu-
lation should be enforced by making
it misdemeanor punishable by ar
rest and fine for anyone who I'M
necessarily interferes with the pro-
gross of a street car.
The way of street cars and their
many passengers is constantly block
ed by slow moving vehicles which
compel street car to slow down,
stop or crawl along behind them for
blocks at time. AS electric rail
ways, during rush hours, carry 90
to rs per cent of the travelling pub
lie, why should this great number of
people be caused much delay and
inconvenience by other vehicles con-
stantly blocking street railways?

Why The Test Failed

A gruff old practitioner of
the type of the last genera
ton, who is Official physician
of the public schools of a near
by town, was examining the
rural faculties of the pupils
one day recently and, with
watch in hand, gripped a lit
tie girl Of 10 taking the test.
Hear that" said the ply
stefan, with the time piece at
arms length.
"No sir" came the timid
reply.
"Hear that?" he repeated,
bringing it slightly nearer.
There was no response and
he carried the watch nearer
and nearer with no better re-
suits. Finally, jamming it
against the child's ear, he ex-
claimed with some heat:
snow don't you hear it,"
There was the same mono
syllable reply and, with an
aid Of deep disgust, the old
doctor held the watch to his
own ear with the exclamation
"Gosh, the old thing amt 60.

Some one has decided that
the letter sc" is the most un-
fortunate letter in the Eng
lish alphabet because it is al
ways out of cash, forever In
debt, never out Of danger, and
in hell all the time. No little
credit is due, however, in that
it is never in war, and always
in peace. And we are deeply
indebted to this little letter
since tits the beginning of ex-
istence, the commencement
of ease and the end of trouble.
without it there would be no
meat, no life and no heaven.
1t is the center of honesty,
and although it starts off in
error, it ends by making life
perfect.

Have you ever gone forth
from your office in search of
food, excruciatingly hungry
and blissfully hopeful, with
perhaps 60 cents in your
jeans? And have you ever
wandered into a place that
looked reasonable in
view of the 60 cents. And have
you ever discovered, after a
glance at the menu, slipped
under your nose by a naughty
person in a dirty white coat,
that the cheapest a la carte
item thereon, costs just six
bits? And have you ever
swallowed your Adams apple
and a mouthful of cigarette
smoke in an effort to appear
nonchalant and blase as you
order a cup of coffee?

NEW HAVEN DEMOCRATS
(Continued from Page One.)

(Continued from Page One.) been successful in holding the office of general registrar in New Haven de spite his arrogant and insulting con- duct towards the voters due to the casting aside of the direct primary of which he took a major part. Because a person going to the primaries could not vote directly against Cahill but through a manipulation of popular candidates for aldermen in the districts Cahill secured a delegation ostensibly for the candidate for alderman but pri marily for Cahill as registrar. It Is amusing to some who observe to note that Cahill perpetrates himself in office by the methods of no direct primary which 1t is said he had such a great part Ill discontinuing.
 The death this week of Republican Registrar Louis Knollmeyer, while re- gretted generally, should prove an op- portunity for the democratic party To- cally ii 1t were fortunate enough to Have III llIC lSSlSlI al OllISC d Hldu O1 pep or initiative to see to 1t that the democrats were enrolled upon the to- be-made lists and the primary lists, for the late MT. Knollmeyef to his credit 1t must be said, that in the cpl sode where i'll hundreds of democratic women were kept off the voting lists MT. Knollmeyer manfully said, T had no part in ii"
 It Is the aim of the local democrats to see to 1t that the direct primary will again be the basis of selecting democrats to represent their party as nominees, and that no group of regis trars or town committeeman or con- .ference shall dictate to the party. They shall go before the party in the pri- maries this fall on the platform of amending the rules of the democratic party locally in that the voters shall directly vote in the primaries for the person of their choice.
 One instance of the harm brought about by the overthrowing of direct primaries in this city Is evidenced by the failure through BOSS RULE of Cah1lls to grant renomination to former Alderman Kel1eher of the Twenty eighth ward, who, as an all

derman, showed marked ability as a legislator. It is a most unfortunate condition that any Boss should thus deprive the citizens of the city of New Haven of the experience and reason ing of such men as Alderman Kelle- her. Mr. Ke1leher committed the grave error of refusing to submit to the die tation of any Boss and as a conse- quence the Boss withheld from him that which is the right of every citi- zen to represent his constituents.
 Another alderman was given the gate by the same methods but the ex- cuse given in that case was that he appeared in public clad in knickers. It has been suggested that If he were at tired in an apron, with, ths Boss collar around his neck, perhaps he would still be representing his ward in the board of aldermen. And that's that.

he said. "No banker can so much as buy a lunch for me, and I am free to tell the truth about this matter"
 It is interesting to note that this state of affairs came about under the administration of the Shipping Board by dollar year patriots" It appears that these business men, who are al- ways found sneering at the methods of mere politicians" not only reduced the affairs of the Shipping Board to state of unparalleled chaos, but took advan- tage of the situation to feather their own nests.
 Ships Almost Given Away.
 It has been charged, and testimony before the committee is tending to support the accusation, that the Ship ping Board Is in the hands of men placed there ythe big shipping inter ests for the purpose of getting control of the ships and wrecking the mer- chant marine. Many of the finest ships built by the government at top notch cost during the war have been sold for preposterously small sums to favored ship At the same time, the men running the government lines continue to declare publicly that they can not be operated at profit.
 The case Is an exact parallel to that of government operation of the rail- roads. The lines are being operated by men who have everything to gain form failure, and everything to lose from success. Many of those in the Shipping Board organization came from th5 steamship companies, who naturally do not want to compete with the government lines, and who con- sequently can be expected to do ev- erything possible to put them out of business.

A purchaser of steel at Chicago, which Is manufactured at the Gary plants, and hauled to the place where used by the purchasers own trucks, Is compelled to add to the basic price the freight rates he would have paid had the steel been shipped from Pittsburgh.

ALABAMA GIRLS
 WIN, 25 TO 2l

UNIVERSITY, Ala, Feb. 14-tspe- cial.)--In a game that kept the crowds on their feet throughout, Alabama's s Crimsonettes defeated the quintet of Woman's college here tonight by a score of 25 to 21.
 Alabama gave dope a great upset by taking the lead at the start of the first quarter and kept 1t throughout the first half, ending three points better than the Montgomerians, the second half saw complete reversal, Woman's college forging ahead and keeping the lead for foupleSof minutes until Mary Little started shooting with machine gun rapidity.
 Free shots played prominent part In the game, 'Bama even getting one point through failure of a substitute to report to the scorekeeper. Nuckols made five free ones in the first half, while Colvin made three, In the second, each forward added more free points.
 Mary Little simply went wild in the second half after the lead had been taken away from 'Bana and dropped in three field goals to even matters. Nuckois was in there feeding lem well to the taller player to make her shots.
 Nuckols, too, annexed a pair of field goals, The work of Baker, at jumping center, and of Shellbcurne, guard, was very good.
 For Woman's college, the goal shoot ing of Jones featured. She tried sev- eral long shots, and dropped in some from rather difficult angles. She scored four for the night, one resembling boy's shot. Branscomb, jumping cehter played a remarkable game, while the work of Pullen and Taylor, gua tds, Were pratSewerthy.
