OF Venetian Origin

The word ffiasco,' meaning fall
ure, is an Italian word and originally
meant flask. Venetian glassblow-
ers were very keen craftsmen, and If
one Of them detected the smallest
nav in his handiwork, he turned 1t
into a fiasco or common flask, and so
the word came to be applied to any
kind Of failure.

BY Or. Walter L, Traprock
The recent attempts of Miss
Ederle and others to swim the
English channel bring back to my
mind an episode which now for
the first time. can be told. 1t hap
pcncd during the early days of the
war when England was trembling
in the balance.
As first secretary of our legation
In London was entrusted by
Lloyd George with the delivery of
a message so secret that instead
of being transmitted even by code
it was expressed by a jewel, to be
exact, a diamond. one of the crown
jewels. This meant, in so many
words, that England would enter
the war If she had sent France
a ruby 1t would have been equiva-
lent to handing her the raspberry!

stroyer. 1t was a clear, beautiful
night and all went well until we
were about five miles from Calais.
Then it occurred to me to have O.
peek at my treasure to make sure
that it was still In its case. AS l
stood by the rail examining it, the
first officer, one of those big,
hearty cheerful boobs, not seeing
what I was doing, came up behind
me and hit me a resounding thwack
on the back Perdition' The dia-
mond popped overheard!
On the instant I plunged after it.
I remember how my cigar Kissed as
I struck the water. The destroyer
swept on, and as it did so ! scream
ed after it, Get vacuum clean
err" The officer got the idea at
once and on they sped to Calais.
Meantime, I was treading water
and keeping my eyes glued to two
stars by which, thanks to my
knowledge Of navigation, | was
able to keep my exact position, for
if that were lost, all we're lost!
You can imagine how long the
time seemed before the destroyer
again appeared and the jolly tars
manned the good old vacuum.

REGULATING DOWNTOWN
TRAFFIC JAMS

There ara some things which the
New Haven railroad, in its regained
management OF the trolley lines, can
not circuuveut through the eXpendi-
ture Of money for equipment or the
creation OF trolley "hotterments"
bruitcd in the public prints. This re-
fers TO the exasrerating delays In the
larger cities IN New England.
As the Springfield Republican
pointcdly comments, what trolley pa
irons would like to see is cars run
ming quickly and regularly to their
destinations But there are the main
downtown streets and their traffic
jams; what are thn trolley lines TO
do but have the cars wait on the
traffic policemen?
This situation cannot bo changed
in most cities. Springfield tried it in
vain. Hartford is in the same fix.
New Britain is better off than
either but conditions here will get
worse as the city grows larger.
The problem has come to the
point where tho more numerous the
cars the greater the traffic delays.
In most small cities the trolley COM
panies have their tracks laid to the
heart Of the downtown district and
most lines 60 there, greatly adding
to the congestion, That considerable
business is lost through slow service
can scarcely be denied; perhaps 1t is
one OF the reasons why so many pri-
ate automobiles are used by the
public for downtown trips.
New Britain already is nearly too
large for trolley and bGsscs 10 use
The Center as a terminal Conditions
.hore during the rush hours have
become worse since the buses We're
allowed 10 use the vicinity for ter
minal stations. When a line Of troll

paper moro than once In ten years,
Perhaps they hide their light behind
the proyerbial bushel.
One OF the hardest working but
least appreciated civic body in Plain
Vile Is the town plan commission,
The commission has charge OF street
acceptances, building lines, etc, and
meets twice month; sometimes It
has special meetings. OF inspection
trips there arc plenty.
The decisions OF the commission
are often disapproyed by fellow citi-
zens, but usually the demonstrators
after a decision has boen made are
those who failed to attend any OF the
numerous hearings.
The commission is composed Of
far sighted men who are seeking to
determine the public will and CO.
ordinate It with what their study
shows to be the best interests Of the
town.
Painyillo is growing rapidly, and
the direction of its growth rests to n
considerable extent upon the eff
cheney OF this body Of men. Chair
man John L. Lamb is, adept at max
ing forecasts Of the towns growth;
his prediction is that the population
will double within the next ten
years. That would mean population
of 1000. II will be very gratifying
to New Britain TO have town OF
this size at the end OF a carline. New
Britain hopes the prediction comes
true. At that time New Britain's
population will be more than 1Q0,-
600. Plalnyille Is like being part OF
New Britain and that will make the
practical population 112,ooo; and
with Brrln's growth added this will
be no mean center for the activities
OF our cluster OF thriving surround
ing towns.

POLITICAL OPPOSITION
TO WORLD COURT

The nation ought to be getting
very tired of the senseless opposition
to "details of the World Court" by
Senators Borah, Moses and Hiram
johnson. These three die hards now
say they do not object TO the 'prn-
ciplo" OF the World Court, but OPP
pose the Presidents ideas--likewise
the ideas Of most other citizens who
favor the entry of the United States
into the court.
The three are merely playing poll
tics, at a time and in connection
with an issue that can i'll stand the
pernicious attitude and arrant hypo-
crisy of politicians.
The facts are they are consttu-
tionally against the World Court
idea from start to finish, but have
not the courage to oppose it as open

tility by quibbling over methods and
trying TO fool the voters into think
ing they are blessed with superior
prcscience, seeing dangers that 9TH
trs do not see, sensing a dire men
ace that others cannot comprehend.
One thing Is certain about the
World Court at this time and that
Is the vast majority of citizenry are
heartily In favor Of the United
states joining it. No one but ire
concilable politicians now oppose 1t,
and they merely through plque due
TO being on the losing side Of great
idea-an idea that has proved great
err than their own conceptions and
their inflated ego.
If Senators Borah, Moses and
Johnson really have any arguments
of substance against adherence 10
the World Court let them be stated
as such and be pitied against the
arguments Of those eminent citizens
who favor adherence. Let them
abandon shifty subtleties of reason
irr with its tricky ''rcserla tionS" and
meet the issue in the open. Friends
of the World Court, from the time OF
Flihu Burritt down 10 the present
have put forward Il straightforward
case. Its opponents haven't; they
have merely put up a political case
out in Idaho the constituents OF
Senator Borah have become aroused
over his unrcasoning attitude and
have begun asking him some per
tinnn, questions on the issue. Out In
California Senator Johnson still has
a political following but it is not
what 1t once was; scarcely any scna-
tor has suffered such a political
ecllrso nationally as the Hiram from
California. Up in New Hampshire
irritation at Senator Moses has be-
come SO pronounced that Governor
Winant appointed committee to

Q. Are farm wages higher today
than they ever were?
a. Studies made by the United
State Bureau of Labor Statistics
show that taking the average of
farm wages between 1910 and 1914
as 100, farm wages in the United
states rose more or less steadily
from an index OF Sc in 1866 to a
peak of 239 in 1920. Then they fell
to an index OF $50 in 1921 10 JAG
in 1922 but rose to 166 in 1923 and
1924. In July, 1928, the index of
farm wages stood at 16H. IN July,
1925, wages per month for farm la
Dor. with board, averaged through
out the United States were $34.94;
without board $4S.55. Daily wages
averaged s1.S9 with board and $240
without board.

OUR PASTORS SPEAK
ON CIVIC AFFAIRS

Pastors of this city who dcNiv-
cred special sormons on civic bet
terment Sunday apparently made
good impression with their congre-
cations and touched up many as
poets OF good citizenship that
proved interesting TO read about as
well as to hear from the pulpits.
The reiteration OF methods to
solve the manifold problems that
confront every city is necessary
adjunct in bringing about improve
ments. Rarely does it happen that
any important reform is brought
about by merely referring to 1t
once. Constant repetition, until a
dent Is made in the civic con-
seriousness, seemingly is necessary.
It may seem that it takes a vast
amount of prodding to get action
sometimes but Of prodders there
need be no dearth if all good citi-
zens do their duty and their lead
crs are wide awake TO their OPP
portunitics.
1t is often virtually necessary
that good citizens with good ideas
for civic bettermont are in the posi-
ton where the ideas must be
sold" to the city fathers or the
various officials operating the city
departments. It Is not that the
august members of the city govern
mcnt are not awake 10 the needs
of the city, but they are in places
of responsibility and are entirely
justified in keeping a weather eye
on the tax rate while contemplate
ing the manifold essentials" that
are suggested from various quar-
tcrs. What ought to be done and
what can be done with a reason
able expenditure of the money In
hand are two entirely different mat
tcrs.
But it costs nobody cent to be
a good citizen or TO take an intelli-
gent interest In civic matters. It Is
really depressing sometimes to
learn that the general public Is so
apathotic to affairs that may not
concern them Individually but
rather concern them indirectly
through the city, state or nation.
We do not always value what we
get free Of charge; yet good gov
eminent usually costs less than bad
government. and the latter easily
develops when the public becomes
sclf-ccntcrcd In its own personal
affairs and adopts an attitude of
SNUG compIacency in other direc-
tons. 1t was once said Of a large
lily that It's government was adj
mi,tcdIy corrupt while its citi2enry
we're contcn'cI to have it so. A
more damning Indictment Of a city
and the SPECIES OF democracy that
