INVITED AIR SERVICE
 NOT PROBABLE

That the administration is power fully opposed to unified air serN- ice has been evident for some tlme' and the statements of Secretaries Hoover and New against it merely tended 10 add weight to the prevail ing attitude of the administration
 Major General Patrick, chief or the army air service, was not lh- cIincd to permit the general opinion in Washington to interfere with his own views, however, and in giving q fat-footcd approval of the plan for one directing head of the air service he was sincere in hts effort 10 help provide efficiency in this jmportant branch of the national defense.
 Refusal of the Shenandoah tn- ouirv board to hear Col William Mitchell, air service critic, evidently has not been well received by the nublic which is not interested in the vcrious departmental rows in Wash incton as it is in an effective admin istration Of the air forces.
 That the administration will mol adopt the principle of a unified ar service seems certain

LITTLE EXCITEMENT ONEk
 THE COAL STRIKE

The anthracite coal strike IS making as much of turore as death wake. Snippets of news about inc conditions in the coal fields and the industry appear in the papers some days; on others there are n- tcrvicws quoting some official or other, and few days ago a story appeared that the mayors of the cities in the anthracite regions favored acceptance Of the check-oa system so as to end the era of bad business in that section Of Pennsyl- vanis.
 When news of the strike nearly died out along came John Hays Hammond, chairman of the New England governors fuel commits sion, and announced AS had ad- dressed letters to various low Voia- tile soft coal concerns in West Nir- ginia.

MORE SUCCESS FOR DAYLIGHT SAVING

The 1925 season of daylight sar- ing, just closing, has been as sue cessful as its forerunners in Con- necticut, despite what the Leglsla- ture has tried to say about the mat ter, All cities of importance fol- lowed the hour-ahead schedule while the more rural sections fol- lowed standard time. Nutmeggers had become accustomed 10 making allowances for the smaller burgs and nobody seems to have been seriously inconvenienced, we haven't heard of anybody missing a train in this city on account of daylight saving all summer.
 The state law that public clocks cannot show daylight saving time bothered nobody here. Restau- rants and stores have been running their clocks on daylight schedule and 1t is claimed they do not come under the category of public clocks And when it was matter of figur- ing daylight saving time from what the standard time clocks said, even children in the first grades of school have been able 10 do it.
 We will be back on standard time tomorrow There will. be an extra hour attached 10 Sunday. In the lives of some residentR this merely means about 30 more miles.

ADDING SPICE TO WORLD SERIES

Nothing plcases the sporting world outside of New York so much as the failure oi either of the New York baseball teams to figure in this years diamond classic. Even unropularity is deserved.
 The New York teams for years were credited with attempting to win pennants by the lavish use of money in the purchase Of playing material. Professional baseball be- ing what is 1t, there is no great public opposition 10 the purchase Of players by various teams but two teams, situated in the olropolis and having great financial re- sources. for years had an advantage in the scramble for players. No sum of money appeared too high to eX- pend in the effort to enlist playing talent 10 tho New York teams, The public began to dislike these fnan- cial tactics and when first one and then the other of the New York teams failed to win a pennant the satisfaction was considerable.
 This year will se a 100 per cent breakaway from the New York par ticlpation in the stellar series. The coming contest between Washington and Pittsburgh should be the mos interesting world series in many years. Already the doping" of tho teams has begun, and which looks strongest on paper is already being warmly debated.

Lord Dapper was very attentive indeel to Lord Spoof's daughter. Lord Spool looked and marvelled how wonderful a thing love is. Lord Daper thought of Lord Spoefs wealth, and marvelled how won derful a thing money is.
 The time dragged on. and Lord Spool and his daughter wondered just when Dapper would pop up question. Dapper, in turn, was un- dergoing financial embarrassment. And this embarrassment forced him to go to Lord Spool.
 "I say, old deah." he addressed Lord Spool, 'I say now, don't you think. I mean. cawnt you let me have a hundred pounds?"

HAMILTON HOLT AND
 THE SENATE,

In accepting the presidency or Rollins college in Florida, Hamilton Holt, of Woodstock, Conn, may have a better chance to be shunted into the r. S. Senate than had he remained resident of Connecticut, in the opinion of the New Haven Union. The opinion, we vii say, is well taken"
 When W. J. Bryan took Up his residence in Florida he was promptly spoken of as a possible candidate for the Senate. Had he lived long enough 1t might have taken place. If MT. Holt sticks to his college presidency long enough Tlorjdn may feel much inclined to "honor" her now distinguished citi- zen by electing him to the upper house. His politics coincide with majority opinion in Florida and 1t IS state where the Democrats arc as strongly cntrcnched as the Re publicans are in Connecticut. when running for office upon the Demo cratic ticket that makes wonder fu1 difference.
 The departure of Hamilton HoI from Connecticut, however, was loss 10 the state irrespective of poll tics. MT. Holt was q distinguished citizen and had he been ldcntlheC with the G. o. P. instead of tho Democratic party this fact woulc have been more widely appreciated among politicians and their journal istic assistants.

THRI.I1-Ti,NEMENT
 DISTRICTS

An examination of the zoning map of New Britain results in the understanding that districts zoned for three tenement apartment . houses cover a wider eXpanse of territory. Of course, that does not mean that tho city of the future will show prcpOndcrance or three tenement houses, as no doubt many citizens who will construct abodcS in those districts will not adopt the threc-tcncmcnt plan; but it does mean that "adcquate proVision' has been made for the construction Of such buildings when desired.
 That they are greatly desired is self-cvident in many cases. The number of building permits calling for three tenement houses issued in the past few years. especially this past summer, is indicative ot the trend.
 A three decker can be just as comfortable as any other house, and some residents prefer to live on the top story because of the in creased light and presumably also because of purer air. But when there are no elevators, walking ID two flights Of steps is no easy Joo for the aged. In the case of chlI- drcn. living in an upstairs flat al vays has had some disadvantages, although thousands if not millions of children have been raised that way and apparently are none the worse for it,

square root of D." This confuses the opposing team, which must have neglected math in order to prac- tice football, and In the moment of doubt the play Is started. Left end looks for a four-leaf clover. Left tackle, kicks himself in tho head and claims a foul, distractlng the attention of the umpire. Left guard gives his opponent the wrong answers to his latest corre- spondence school lesson. Right guard announces he has halitosis and scares away all corners. Right tackle and right end rush off to q corner of inc field and do the Charleston, and while tho other team takes pointers from them the ball is passed by the center. whose part is then over and who goes and joins Mayor Hylan and the other dead ones.
 Fulback chambers into h 0 pressbox. claims to be butch An derson, and asks S5,000 for a sign ed story. Both halfbacks bind and gag the referee, preventing him from getting in the way of the play or from blowing his whistle until 1t is over. Quarterback re- cnives the ball and purposely places 1t on the ground in full view, making sure that the other team sees him: they naturally as- sume this is q fake ball and starts | hunting for the real one. Fullback returns with his check, picks up the ball, and calmly walks for a touchdown. In case the ruse is de- r tected, he eludes tacklers hy look ing cross eyed; the opponents naturally cant figure which way 2 cross eyed man plans 10 run, SC they. give up in disgust.

Considerable space devoted to clocks and the clock industry in gen. eral in a new volume by Sarah M. Lockwood entitled Antiques" soon 10 be published by the Doubleday, Page X O., should prove of great interest among residents of Con- necticut, long a center of the clock industry.
 It was In Connecticut and Massa- chusetts that the clock industry first sprang into prominence in the Unit ed States, the ii clock ever made in America being made in Boston. This clock is still, in existence and bears the inscription "This clock put up January 10, 1722." The Willards and especially Simon Willard were the first prominent names identified with the art Of clockmaking. The Willards came to Boston in the lat ter part of the eighteenth century.

Two men whose record of achieve ment makes their expressed thoughts deserving of serious consideration spoke this week on subjects of time |y interest. Principal Louis r. Slade of the high school discussed the purpose of an education at the meeting of the Lions club. Judge B. r. Gaffney of the court of pro bate spoke at the meeting of tho Kiwanis club on character.
 Authorities tell us that two of the causes of increasing crime are the desire to enjoy the luXuries of life without working for them and weak ness of character. Education teaches industry and industry makes for good character.
 During his talk Principal Shade made it clear that the object of an education is not 10 permit the per- son thus benefited to enjoy life of case. He said: There dwellS in the mind of some. and has been there ' for many years, the idea that high school and college are institutions By which. through certain rcgistra- tions and sessions, the young man or young woman may be initiated into a select group that will be free from the hcwing of wood and the draw ing of water and set apart for life of freedom and leisure" Following this theme. Mir. Slade said that this Impression was a mistaken one. No one knows better than he that indus try is necessary to the future pres ervation of the country Hundreds of boys and girls have passed under his observation and as master of the school he has done his share tc impress upon them the need for 8 wholesome view of life.
 Judge Gaffney emphasized the statement: "The greatest thing you can do Is to create an attitude oi mind in youth for good, uprigh' and honorable manhood and woman. hood" Herein is the secret of req success. As Judge Gaffney pointed out. "It is better to be honorable than have money"
 Perhaps youth is not to be tot severely censured for its materials tic philosophy. It sees fathers striv ing from early till late for th' purpose of piIing up a fortune, thu while forgetting to enjoy the beau . ties of life that arc found every where. They begin to believe tha
 money is the real goal of living Following this theory, they some times forget honor in seeking t gain that goal.
 Unless 1t impresses them with tn
 knowledge that character Is more t be desired than a material fortune
 education will fall. Education shoul f help them to appreciate the fine
 things of life and that power to ap 6 preciate will make their character , stronger.
