TIARA AT HOME" IS GOOD ADVICE

Governor Fuller of Massachusetts has the reputation of h"jng as hard headed as Bay State goycrnoIs sometimes get, Noting how auto mobiles have been clcgging up the streets of Boston, and cOmprchend- ing that 10 widen more streets in order to take care of the gasoline .a,aIanrhn would cost much money, h" has made an original contrihu- tion 10 the settlement of the prob lem.
 The cheapest way 10 widen the streets in the business section or Boston, The governor ayers, is to remove the automobiles parked along the curbs.
 The only people not appIauding the idea in Boston arc those who get the free use of space.

REDUCE TOBACCO TiN AND IMPROVE CIGARS

Decision of the Connecticut Val lev Tohacco association 10 request the coming session of Congress 10 reduce the tax on cigars Is q move that the public ws,lI like 10 sec crowned with success.
 There is no logical reason why the tax on cigars should be sky high. Consumption of cigars ho" been decreasing constantly and inc crouels no doubt gre right in hlam- ing the high federal taxes with at least rart Of Dhis developments F Everyone bas noticed that the pricrs of cigars arc hsG, their size -uiH and ta"r quality far below thc standard ,na, us I 10 be. The so.yrnmel,t nas no right 10 expect bc cigar industry to pay more than !ls lAr sLlr,s in taN"s.
 The administration has been con sistcnuy telling us nbolt the de- sirabiii,y of reducing taxation but one place never mentioned as yet is a reduction in the tobacco tax. It is high time that a beginning is made.
 The Ialc Thomas Marshall de- clared that one Of the country $ chief necessities was good five cent cigar. II is still necessary. The fact that ;he National Tobacco Mcr' chants association has joined hands with She Connecticut valley growers in the memorial 10 Congress strengthens inc dgrnanI. bc,'ns which will be found a large portion Of the public.

ANOTHER REVOLUTION
 IN ITALY

Things of world wide significance are happening In Italy, where Mus solni still rules with an iron hand. In October. 1922, the premier seized power as the result Of an armed re- volt of Tascists. Now he is changing the entire Italian governmental sys- tenn and putting up a new kind ot state in its place.
 The modrs operandi is simple yet could only be carried out by a man having supreme power, like Mus solini. He merely announced the next cabinet council would approve his plan abolishing local self-gov- ernment in towns having popua- ton of less than 5000 and having them administered by agents of the government appointed by the crown. The government town gov erning officials will be aided by councils appointed by local indus trial and agricultural interests.
 But the most important step has 10 do with the Confederation Of Fascist Trade Unions, representing the workers interests. and the Con- federation of Industry. representing the industrialists' interests which signed an agreement to cooperate in industrial disputes.
 Fascism, it. is clear, intends to revolutionize the entire Italian state. The reforms have been in Mussonni's mind for some time and when the time came to act upon them his word very evidently was law and the new system can he eN- pected to be upon the statute books in short order.
 1 The abolishmcnt of local self government through political ac- tlon, and substituting therefore co" operative action by various inter- csts. mainly composed of the indus trialists, employers and agricultural interests, is new in the history o' modern government. How 1t VII work remains to be seen, There it one advantage possessed by Mus solini that will help toward the sue cess of the new schcme--his order
 are the real law, But such Systeh
 is the antithesis of democracy an'
 ono cannot help wondering Wha
 will happen when he dies. At tha time some other important chang" may be made.

AMERICAN INVERTEBRATES
(Ansonia Sentinel

(AnSOnia Sentinel
 It is no new thing that crowds like to see football. Thirty years ago Yale had a stand that would seat 3I,OO0, though some of the seats ln the far corners were far from good ones. Then Yale got this filled once a year. An ordinary football crowd was 5000 at the outside. Twenty years ago Harvard took the lead in Eig structures. lis "CaNe Of the Winds" is horseshoe with the open end toward the northwest. The more notable thing about 1t was that it would seat BROOD people. That was a large number twenty years ago,
 But Yale already felt the need for an even larger stadium than that. It was soon after that MT Ferry had his dream of the bowl It is more than ten years since he gave Yale a football amphitheatcr that still is and must remain unique in many respects. As yet it IS, with seats for 74,0OO. America largest football amphitheatcr. 1t is one oi five college structures seating 5O,OOO or more persons.
 Of these five, Harvard has now the smallest stadium. The two which rival Yale are those of the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Pittsburgh. These two colleges contemplate even larger structures, the former one of size 10 seat 1O6,000, and the latter one of 100, ,000. 1t might be said that l several years before his death, soon after tho completion of the bowl in fact. Mir. Ferry had in mind the increase of the bowl so as 10 seat 120,0O0. That would have been pos sible, no doubt; some time ago il was given up as undesirable. Like wise the plans of the two Pennsyl' vania colleges may be abandoned before they are realized. It is prett! generally recognized, at least a New Haven, that the construction Of an amphitheater large enough tt accommodate all of the public wht want to see premier football game is an impossible achievement Tn others may find it out too befor' they waste their money.

SUCH AS ARE NOT ELAPPERS

What Is the difference between fapper and girl who isn't a Aapper? The degree of eXpertness required to make this differentia- ton apparently depends upon the point of view. However, be this as it may. the Camp Fire Girls. Inc, has come out strong against the use Of the term "nappcr" as ap- piled to any young women whatso- ever. The organization much pre- fers the use of the term mod erns," that is to say, the girls who ordinarily would be termed flappers are merely "modcrn."
 They certainly are all of that and q little more, if the magazines ap- pealing 10 girls primarily interested in beauty and true love stories, film celebrities and so-called flappcr humor are a criterion. There was none of this in the old days, and news stand ropric ctors knew naught of girls walking up to the counter and grasping a sayly be- deckcd brochure of literature with the sang froid, that tells the world | C,t ,rir innu-y Ntbuf Ghc wants and when she wants it,
 Comes the Camp Fire organza- ton and tells us that more than half the 100000 honors awarded the girls 6O0.OO0 present and past members of the guild were for pro- hciency in homccratt. which we arc told includes cooking, sewing housekeeping ard the care Of babies, If this looks like nappcr- its, let's have more of 1t.
 It is a relief to learn that there are moderns who arc interested in the more homCly arts, the science of keeping q home straight, the business of making husband feel comfortable. Such girls. 10 be sure
 must never be termed tlappers; noI are they to be termed moderns either to OUT humble way of think ing. For inc art of making q homo
 has been prncticed and cultivated
 from time hnmemorial and the gil
 who cultivates it now is not induIg
 ing in anything particularly move or new or modern. As matter o fact she is merely exercising com mon sense and caution. for th' girls who go in for such thing need not fear that some t'k"I, , young man will fail 10 be inter . r6tcl.

GENTLEMENLY MOTORMEN
 AND POLICEMEN

A motorman Of the Connecticut company was seen the other day thoughtfully helping an aged wom- an passenger of the step of his car and leading her to the curb. The kind ministrations of the motorman was not unobserved by passengers and the smile of appreciation after the motorman returned to his post was general.
 By his action the motorman not only helped the aged passenger at a time when such help was needed, but he engendered good will from the passengers toward himself and the company he represented.
 Such kind acts, however. are by no means rare in the city. Motor men and bus drivers have become as considerate of passengers as gentlemen ought 10 be. In the early days of trolley cars it was not un- common for conductors to gruffly advise passengers to "step lively please,"@ and many omitted the ..please." There used to be ad- mentions to watch your step,'
 But a new spirit has entered into the transportation industry. Fewer passengers to haul has taught troll lev companies that wooing the good will of the public might tend to hrlp the situation. And they are right. Nothing pays as well as gen t!cmanly conduct.
 The same principle holds good for policemen. The bluecoats of New Britain are as rule gentlemanly and kind-provided one does not al lhn moment happen to be meritine < arrest for an infraction of the num- erous laws the police are employed to enforce.
 Let an aged woman, or one WILT child, be seen endea1oring tt cross the street at point where traffic is heavy and where a tralli' l. officer is stationed She will receive every consideration and it is no uh usual thing to see traffic held III until the woman has crossed tn street in safety.
 Ask a policeman the way 10 s,roet or building and the chance are nine to ten the bluecoatS WI be at pains 10 make the way $ clear that blind man could find | A Visitor 10 the city recently 1t WI he remembered, was glad to writ a letter tcsDtfyins to the spIend' service given by the policemen C New Britain in this respect.
 That's the spirit that is scnuio advertisement to the city, Thos alert for means to advertise thi locality ia,orahly, should not over look yielding a noe1 of commenda tion to tbe rity's bluecoat patrol.

RUSSIA AGAIN w ET" AFTER ii YEARS

When, during the World War, Russia had its back to the wall and every ounce of strength was need ed to keep from tumbllng in the great conflict. the late c2ar issued a ukase making the country dry" at least. he was given the credit for the great achievement, as 1t was called at the time. A sober Russia, t was pointed out, might better be able 10 steam roller its way through the streets of Berlin.
 From that day to this week par tial prohibition has maintained itself In the land of steppes and bolshevIki. We do not know how 1t was enforced.
 The partial prohibition that was a heng-o from the war was continued until last Sunday, when the bars were lowered against the free and unrestricted circulation ol vodka at Q ratio of 40 per cent kick
 From the time 1t was invented Russian vodka was terrible stuff One wonders why the bolsheviE hesitated so long before permitting the sale of this species of flowing | dynamite. With crazy ideas bein( pumped into the minds of the peo pie by the national propagand; bureaus, and with this class of fir water flowing down their throats the future of Russia is not cxactl. assured.

JOBS.
 (By Mary West.) Outside my window, the telephone Is strapped to the side of post, Doing marvellous things with some
 wires and a tool, Perched on q cross-arm, with
 hatchet and rule, Laughing and chaffing, disdaintully
 cool, While I sit indoors and roast. I think, in a minute. I'll lean out
 and ask If he'd not like to trade jobs with
 me, And come in and try typing ridic-
 uIous verses, To wiring from bored editors bless
 ings-or curses And, mayhap, a few pence from
 their opulent purses, While I climb to his perch, and am
 free. How happy Id be at the top of
 pole, Alone with the sun and the birds. How I'd gloat when ] saw him dig
 ging for rhymes That might with good luck, drag
 dopEl a few dimes, But probably wouldn't! Nine out of
 ten tines I'd sing, while HE floundcred in
 words! But hold! A thought chills me. The
 telephone man MAY be both poet--and wary. And might, while l fooled with his
 hatchet and things, Turnout neat sonnet whose
 phrases had wings, With sentiment lovely that fingers
 and clings, And would never trade back with
 poor Mary!
