THE OBSER VER- Makes Random Observations
 On the City and Its People

other workers in building trades were constantly employed and there was intense demand for their serv- ices. The erection of new homes be- came passion, all racing with the others toward the goal of comple- ton to avoid competition in rent Ing,
 Reports of similar conditions are received from New Haven and Hartford, where building booms were in evidence during the sum mer. It Is said that there arc thousand vacant apartments in New Haven and like number in Hartford.
 If the situation here does, not change real estate conditions are certain to be affected. Many houses were built with a few thousand dol lars the owners had saved up ana the assistance of the banks. The cost of construction was high. necessitating a reasonable return on the money invested, and high rents were demanded. But the rent curve on tho economic graph is turning down. The man who does not own his own home can have his choice of large number of apartments and this, 1t is believed, will have a tendency to bring rents 10 a lower level As a result, land lords who expected to get sufficient return on their invested capital 10 pay off interest and overhead and put away fund for the reduction of the principal may be thankful if they are able 10 pay the interest and overhead charges. Many will be fortunate If they can hold onto their properties until the tide turns the other way.

With Mayor Paonessa and Judge Klett hurllng hammers and tongs at each other, politics locally has come to life with loud bang.
 PaoneSa is the recognized head of the democratic party here and Klett Is the member of the republi- .an state control committee from this district. Each insists that the other is playing politics, Paonessa accuses Klett of being principal actor in a farce at the common council meeting Wednesday eve- ming, Klett springs off the ropes and comes back with a counter charge, alleging that Paonessa was leading man In the farce.
 Since democracy lifted her head above the sea of oblivion with Pa onessa as the leader, he and Judge Klett have been at swordspoints. In the matter Of election day plur- alities, Paonessa has the advantage. Twice the republican party has been forced to gallop from the field of battle with standards torn into ribbons by Paonessa's sharp shooters. Mayor Paonessa has all ways succeeded in suhtly making Klett tho issue on election day. Tho democratic attack in the spring of 1924 was not against Judge filling, W h Ill hundreds admire, but against his law partner, Judge klett. The democrats succeeded in convincing the voters that vote for filling would be a vote for Klett and Paonessa was reelected.
 Now Paonessa and Klett are at Il again. Or maybe. 1t would be proper to say they are at it yet. Thus far the casualties on either side are not heavy. Mayor Paonessa has big gun in reserve - his vet 0 power, which he is expected to ex- ! ercise to the disadvantage of Judge Klett.

Law of Distance

The fact that smoke near a smoke
stack appears to be dark and then
grow lighter and lighter is a good illus
tration of the law of the, inverse
square of the distance. At one
foot radius from the center Of the
stack, the surface exposed in any sec
ton is very small and the smoke
particles very close together, and the
passage Of light through the particles
is almost prevented. The smoke then
appears black. At a two-foot radius
the particles are twice as far apart
and only one-quarter of the area is
covered, allowing four times the light
to pass through. This section is con-
tinuous, and more and more light
passes through the smoke particles,
causing them to become of a much
lighter color against the sky back
ground. At some finite distance from
the mouth of the stack, the separa
ton has been so great that there is
practically no more interference with
light and the smoke disappears.

Jealous Man or Woman
Lacks Self-Assurance

There is, perhaps, no such thing as
love without an occasional display of
jealousy" says Burton Rascoe. But
In every case I believe it will be found
that the one who is Jealous has lost
for the moment his or her self-assur-
ance. 1t may be because of illness or
overwork or a protracted lack of diver
sion.
"When 1 have been Jealous or my
wife has been Jealous l have always
noticed that u jealousy could be
traced to one of these three things.
When | have been Jealous, they have
been occasions when I felt myself at
a disadvantage, when my egoism was
not topnotch.
1The man who knows that he can
depend upon his wife not to leave him
in the lurch or desert him in a crisis
or find some n else irresistibly more
attractive, Is pretty sure of himself,
sure of his power to attract, sure of
his worthiness as a man. This is true
also Of a woman. "-Hearst's Interna-
tional,C Cosmopolitan.
