COMMUNICATED
Wants Sidewalks Made Safe For Pedestrians

 s Pedestrians
 Editor New Britain Herald
 Will you kindly allow a suggestion that the city fathers grasp an op- portunity which seems to be at hand to swell the income to the city. We hear how hard it is for the various departments to ''get by" on their al- lowance and we also know there are certain ordinances which require property owners to make the walks "safe' for pedestrians-within a certain time after a storm. Now in your issue of Feb. 3 and the issues of the Hartford Courant of Feb. 3 and 4 comes an appeal from the mayor and police to the public to try and make an effort to have the walks taken care of. Why not have the people who don't take care Of things pay their little fee of $2.O0? We have patrolmen who must know pretty well where to look for the ones who are at fault unless they are afraid to take chance on the walks and use the middle of the street as many citizens are doing at present.
 What is the use of allowing gold en opportunities" to slip by and then asking the taxpayers to pay more to meet the suits for damages that are caused by the indifference of some people who never seem to think of safety for those who are compelled to take the risk of passing over their neglected walk. It would not take more than five minutes of any man or woman's time to put ashes or sand on the walk and if they are not willing to do that it would seem that their negligence signified their will ingness to pay the fine.

SHADOW BANDS SHOW
 UP WELL IN PHOTOS
Pictures Taken By Wesleyan Dur
  ing Eclipse Prove Pleasing to Astronomers

Middletown, Feb. 4. - Shadow bands which are noticeable just be- fore the totality phase of an eclipse of the sun were photographed at Wesleyan university observatory on January 24 and Prof. Walter G. Cady of the physics department says the photographing was not pnly sue cessful but projection of the pictures showed that the bands resemble1 heat waves or rain shadows moving across the screen.
 The photographing of the ph' nomenon was successful despite the intense cold. Prof. Cady said. \ moving picture camera was used and the film was kept running up to 40 seconds before totality and re- started 40 seconds after totality. The film was developed at Hartford and the pictures shown at Scott labora tory at Wesleyan last Thursday.
 Prof. Cady said that study of the regative from which the pictures fol the screen were made may revea further facts about this interestin" phenomenon which seems to be q sociated with solar eclipses.

BETTER BUS SERVICE NEEDED TO BERLIN

The agitation going on in Berlin over the bus service of the Connccti- cut company between there and New Britain apparently takes the form that the present busses are not large enough, or that they should be run oftener.
 The busses of the Connecticut Co. do not seem to be as large as such equipment can be made; some of the busscs used by independents seem to be larger and some of them quite as small We haven't seen a bus able to carry as many pas scngers as can be packed into large two-truck trolley car. and don't cX- poet to see any,
 The thing for the Connecticut company to do on the Berlin line is to run the busses more frequently, Twice as frequent would about i'll th. bill.
 The people of Berlin seem to be justly indignant about the character of service established The Conncc- ticut company cannot afford to en- gender rI-wil on large scale in any community it serves; it has done so in he past but not 10 tn" benefit Of the company
 The Public Iuuics Commission recently suggested that no more fre- qucnt service be installed upon the bus line between New Britain aud Hartford until it was determined how the line was ratronizcd
 The P. |. c. thereby laid down principle that bus service ought 10 be commensurate with the de- mands of travel.
 The demands Of travel between New Britain and Berlin unqucstion- oblv point to the need for much more frequent service; it is not a matter of of1hcory but of practicaIl- ties. The present service has been tried a reasonable length of time and has been found inadequate, ac- cording to the unanimous sentiment of Berlin residents. chief users of the line.
 If brought before the P. U, C. that body, if it applies the same principle as it applied to the Hart ford-New Britain busses, can scarce lv do other wise than favor the ap- neal of the residents of Berlin,
 The Connecticut company how ever. should not wait for such development, but should increase inc service of its own accord. Tho company here has an opportunity t( win the good will and appreciation of a large number Of customers which should be an end worth at taining.

Senator Capper is right in assum- ing that there is no monopoly Of probity and honesty in the Demo- cratic party. He is right in calling attention to the apparent dereliction of Democratic papers in 1laying Democrats charged with misdeeds- before they are found guilty-equal- ly as effectively as they tlayed Re publicans charged with misdceds- also before they were found guilty.
 When the pot calls the kettle black neither turns white. Demo- erats in office who when proven rec reant to the public trust are equal 1y as reprehensible as Republicans under such circumstances.
