HE DID HIS BIT FOR
 50 YEARS

Fifty years employed by one firm! A golden celebration of loyalty and service, of mutual respect and con- hdence.
 To be employed 50 years in one manufacturing establishment comes to but few mortals. Golden wedding anniversaries are much frequent.
 Lawrence Meehan, who was awarded a gold watch by the Stanley Works for his astonishing ,ongth of service with that firm, evil dcntly has been etaunch believer n the adage that rolling stone gathers no moss. New Britain and the Stanley Works has been his in- dustrial headquarters for half cen- tury. He started his industrial career here when the Stanley Works was small in comparison with it's present dimensions, when the com- munity was but dim forecast of its present status. He has put the toll of half a century into the products of his employers. He did his bit, manfully and well, and the gold watch, suitably inscribed, is fitting token of his remarkable achieve ment.
 How far throughout the world are scattered the products of the Stanley Works that he has handled? To what widespread uses have they been put? Could the hardware he has handled be placed in one pile 1t probably would be no small noun tain.
 The Herald is glad to join in ex- tending congratulations to an un- assuming citizen who has honored himself by such constant service who has complimented his employ CTS by remaining with them so long, and who has set so worthy an ex- ample in industrial relationship.

 Who. too, can comment on cur rent events better than Wild Willie? What would happen 10 Paul if he lived in our day will be picturesque ly described by Wild Willie.

COSMETICS FOR MEN?
 AND LILAC PAJAMAS?

The New York professor who re- marked the other day that women are becoming more mannish and men are becoming more womanieh, has evidently started something. A horde of mon in New York, who lad been wearing blue shirts and soft collars, stormed the doors of certain haberdashcrs and got stiff collars and other attire of men as they once were.
 But when the Wofcssor - he was pr. Charles Gray Shaw of New York university - asserted that marriage is becoming just way station" and is loss like the Grand Central terminal Of the old-fash- toned woman's ambition, he evi- dently told the truth.

 Dear Mas:
 I've never met a more capable girl than Nan, whom l am visiting here at the University of Cali fornia. She is only soph, but so sensible and level-headed. me- ow meow Last night she was telling Bessie, who has the room next to hers about a young man who had called on her the night before.
 "Modford is certainly fast worker" she said. T asked him how he liked my new lipstick and he said he couldn't tell until he had tried if, and then he did!"
 My dear" said Bessie, what did you do?"
 "I looked at him severely" Nan replied, "and said, 'Melford, you are forgetting yourself,' and he came back with. Well, when I look at you how can I think of anyone else' What can you do with man like that? It was all over but the pouting.
 "Finally I made him talk serious ly. He is studying medicine, you know, and he really can be quite interesting. He told me that there was more candy being consumed than ever before, and I said, Yes, and less of it given away"
 Nan" cried her friend, T hope you're not a gold-digger."
 No" said Nan, collectively, "but l will admit that I like to do a little prospecting now and then, It's always well 10 know what's in the ground before you stake out a claim"

PASSING THE BUCK"
 IN BOSTON TOWN

Suffolk county, Massachusetts - that is to say, the city Of Boston continues in a stew over the judi eIal question incident to charges by the registrar of motor vehicles that stealing automobiles, running over pedestrians and automobile deviltry generally obtains a diminutive pun .shment in the suffolk courts out Of all proportion to the nature Of the onenses-
New Britain herald., 1925-04-15

The rumpus has reached the Gen eral Court - or. in more colloquial language, tho Legislature --- and some acrimonious palaver was cre- ated at the public hearing over a bill designed to mete out punish ment to offenders, instead of pct ting them.
 One of the star witnesses at such hearing was the motor registrar himself, who took note of the vast increase in automobile stealing in Boston and vicinity He gave the impression that the stealing of au- tomobiles is the big outdoor sport of the town, Very few of the thieves in Boston ever get punished, the registrar said, because "clever law yers' make use of an old statute on unlawful appropriation" which was originally passed around the year 1850 to curb joy riders who borrowed buggies for a ride around the block.
 The registrar then let fly this choice omelet:
 The trouble today" he said,
 lis that there is q continual
 passing of the buck from one
 enforcing agency to another,
 The policeman refuses to arrest
 because, he says, the lower
 court judge will let the man go.
 The lower court judge refuses to
 convict because the district at
 torney is too free with his mol
 pros. The district attorney re-
 fuses to go to trial because he
 says the juries will not convict.
 It's about time that all these
 agencies of the law should mind
 their own business, do what
 the law says they shall do, and
 let the other fellow take care
 of himself"
 If the argument continues much further in old Boston town the time may yet come when a fellow who accidentally steals an automobile and is caught at it may get 30 days in jail at about the third offense.

NOW GET DOWN TO
 BUSINESS

We suppose both political parties are well satisfied over the result of the city election held yesterday. The Democrats can feel disposed to be joyful over having increased their rating in the Common Council by one member although losing one constable and one selectman; while the Republicans can be gleeful over carrying nearly five of the six wards in the city.
 There being glory enough for all, let there be peace and harmony and cooperation for the welfare and progress of the city, and with a minimum of political pickering.

tisy bAShaA1
 Washington. April l5.--Washing- toms new traffic director, M. 0. Eldridge, aims to make the capital c model for the whole country in the matter of automobile regulation.
 His theory is that drunken driv- CTS, fleeing bootleggers and miscel- laneous morons are responsible for most accidents. It's in whizzing around corners that they generally get In their work, he says. Also he thinks there has been too strong tendency on the authorihes' part to subordinate pedestrians safety to motorists convenience. Eldridge is going 10 fix all this. And no more spooning at the wheel of a car, he adds. Nobody" he insists, can drive judiciously with his arm around a girls waist"
 Finally, Eldridge concludes, traf- fic regulations, no matter how good. are no good at all unless rigidly enforced, and right there, he ob- SeTNeS, lS hneIc hioJoiNJ oh S'''S fall down. He won't.
 The justice department gets very few appeals 10 be sent to the At- lanta penitentiary for 25 years That, however, is just what Gerald Chapman wants. and in his case it's easy to understand why. He in- sists that the federal government only loaned him to Connecticut to try him for murder. and he thinks borrowed article should be re- turned In as good condition as il was borrowed in. Besides, if he's hanged, how can he serve out his long Atlanta sentence for robbins the mails?
 The justice department hasn't made up its mind.
 The fact is, the attorney general isn't as much interested in Chap mans technicality as Chapman IS The government has more prisoners than 1t wants now. At this very time Luther c. White, new superin' tendent of federal prisons, is al Leavenworth, trying to find an ex' cuse for paroling all the convicts ht can. Leavenworth has more thar

twice as many inmates as It was built 10 hold. Atlanta isn't quite that bad, but bad enough. So much accommodation wasn't needed in the old days. Prohibition law Yio- latiops hadn't been invented then.
 Smallpox is more prevalent than the government public health serv- ice likes. Not only are there too many cases but they arc. increas- ingly malignant.
 The idea y that people developI considerable power of resisting al disease they have had among them for several generations, and either| don't catch 1t or have 1t lightly if| they do. Thus the disease finallyI runs itself out. Only 1t isn't dead, just dormant. Reawakened,f it| usually finds a generation which, has lost the old immunity. anal begins again as much worse e4dis-| ease than 1t left off.
 Just so with smallpox It pnrtiyI ran itself out and was partly stamped out by vaccination. Now| that 1t appears to be reasserting| itself, it may prove to be deadher| than ever, though fortunately under1 better control.
 Keep vaccinated. is the public| health services advice.
 The state department is hearing from many American residents oq France who are scared at the pros pect of a capital levy. Some o1 them have large French property holdings especially the branches of various big American companies.
 A capital levy, if made. will hiS them all. They cant get theit wealth out Of the country. eithorI Present French laws forbid. Thd government proposes to take large chunk-1O per cent. and \ will be more than that If the frand slumps, as probably it will,
 If France were a little country like one of the Central Americal| republics, the state department might see its way clear to opposing this confscation. Being France, il | isn't likely to do so.
