TRACK ITCATION ON HARTFORD AVENUE

The laying of q new pavement on Hartford avenue, between North and Stanley streets, has given the Connecticut company an opportun- ity 10 improve its roadbed; but the company is taking advantage of the chance only to the extent of lay ing new ties under the tracks.
 The same old rails, which have been in use for about 25 years, are being placed upon the new ties.
 In few years the old-fashioned light rails which are being replaced will go from bad to worse. The ef- feet upon the new paving adjoining the tracks will be to injure it, caus- ing it to break and readily con- tl-ibuting to tn 0 formation of grooves. Endless patchwork will be necessary, and as such work is usually delayed. the inconvenience to others using the highway will be considerable.
 This species of false economy was followed by the Connecticut company when the pavement was laid on Stanley street from north of Allen street. several years ago. There is no reason to expect other results on Hartford avenue than those already in evidence on Stan ley street.
 The Connecticut company Is lay ing new modern heavy rails on Now Britain avenue in Hartford displacing rails which are heavier and less worn than those on Hart | ford avenue. The company would be justified in laying the same type of heavy rails on Hartford avenue
 Of course, poor trolley business on the line may be the determining factor for inc company. It is pity however, that such considerations are allowed to jeopardize the new pa, ement.

Didn't Know What It Was But Sensed Danger-Un- ruly Dirigible Finally Tanned With Shotgun.

Caldwell, O., Sept. R)--A hero of the Shenandoah disaster last Thursday was found among the na- tive sons of Noble county yesterday. He is little, grizzled farmer who raises turkeys, geese and some crops on farm near sharon, but he is the man who grabbed the navy's giant dirigiblo by the nose-ring and pulled it to the ground.
 Many time Ernest Nichols has tothcred an angered bull to a fence post, but not until last Thursday morning was he ever called upon to be tanner to rampant dirigible.
 Late yesterday tales began drift ing over the countryside about a man who had helped to stop the plunging of the Shcnandoah's nose over hills and valleys, after 1t broke from the middle and aft sections an hour earlier near Ava, 12 miles away
 Immediately the board of inyesti- gation, which is handling all phases of the disaster which remain to be cleared up, became interested in the story. The board recalled suggestions made by Lieutenant William Mayer and others who were in that portion of the ship that supported Nichols story Commander Jacob H. klein chief of the Investigating board, said after hearing the story. that the Noble county farmer had done "a good job and a great service"
 Earnest Nichols was found in an obscure corner of his barnyard feed ing turkeys and was apprised of the fact that he had done something i'm portant.
 The story that the farmer told The Associated Press is as follows:

 Tt sure enough was coming right toward my house. I looked up and there was my oldest boy--I have six boys and one grl--sticking his head out of the upstairs window. l knew I had to stop that thing or the house would be smashed and my kids would be killed, Then. too. heard the fellows up there Gin the Shen- andoah's drifting nose) yelling. Grab hold grab hold" Turn her south!' So I grabbed hold of the cable that was hanging down and drew 1t around that fence post. The post snapped right off. grabbed the cable again and threw it around that old maple stump. The stump had two prongs on it and I thought sure it would hold. But it didn't.

 By that time the nose was so close 10 the ground that underside had me backed up against the fence, and had to run. It was headed away from the house then, but it knocked off the top of that shed and the wheel on that wall and then bowled over that grape arbor. kept follow ing it and finally threw the cable around that tree.
 "ATl that time I didn't know what the thing was. I didn't know it was so big. Why, it's over 190 feet long.
 "Soon my kids came running out and we helped tie it up. Then the men began climbing out. Even then it didn't stay where 1t was, for we had tied 1t again several times dur ing the day and the men borrowed my shotgun and punctured the gas bags"

The park commission is to be thanked for its constant efforts 10 hurry along the completion of the new recreation center.
 Completion of the lake before winter Is expected to insure "a place to skate" when freezing weather comes.

WE HELP THE MAYOR TO TELL THE WORLD

The mayor took pride in calling attention to an important fact when he remarked at the state Federation convention here that in the past year New Britain enter tained more conventions than any other city in the state. We trust the mayor was prepared to back up the statement with statistics, such proud metropoi as Hartford Ne" Haven and Bridgeport being sure to take umbrage at the claim 1T by hook or by crook they can prove their glories as convention centers are in danger of being eclipsed by the city of the main line"
 When the mayor also warmed up a little further and told his hearers that New Britain is the most cos mopolitan city in the state he was on very firm foundations. lteidtNe- ly we are just as cosmopolitan as Paris, London or New York; and all we need to make this fact bet ter known is a population to equal the smallest of these cities.
 We are cosmopolitan in our com plexion, progressive in our ideas forward looking in disposition booming in our growth, and a' proof of our independence of pollu cal thought give the state Republ can organization a handsome ma iority in state elections and Democratic mayor a handsome ma jority il city elections.
