DRAGGING WOMAN'S NAME
 INTO THE DUST

Cambridge, Mass, got quite cx- cited the other day, but not over fair Harvard. The rumpus was caused by the chief of police em- ploying woman spotter to spot bootleggcrs, It appears she had very little trouble in finding them. Now the mayor refuses to pay the bills incurred on the score that such work is not for women.
 There is much difference between recently disguised themselves as spotters, but in securing evidence
 There is much difference betewen pretended women and real women, but in securing evidence their con- their conduct may have been about the same. Yet there was no great outcry in Gloucester.
 Our idea is that the fair name of womanhood should not be dragged In the dust in this manner either by men cops in skirts or the real thing,

THE BOOTLEG CHARGE AGAINST EDWARDS

The charge made against Senator Edward l. Edwards of New Jersey that he received s3,S in boot leg deal in that state is either a sen- sational disclosure or a scandalous frame-up. Senator Edwards friends insist upon the latter claiming that man in his position could not be seduccd from the paths of rcctitude in this manner
 The senator himself gives the i'm nrossion of being amazed at the et- frontory of the dry agents rather than worried over the charges, Be ing willing to take the stand and deny the charges" and his state ment, "let them lie, they can't hurt me; I'll have my say at the proper time," indicates he is confident ot being able to nulIify the allegations with truth undefilcd.
 Senator Edwards happens 10 Dc on of the most persistent oppo- nents of the Nolstead law in the Sem ate, and has made numerous speeches against prohibition. All or which is his privilege. That Mir Ed-' wards would go so far as to be a so-between in the bootleg business is hard to believe of man of his prominence and standing. Ire spectiye of what the personal opln- ions Of citizens may he regarding prohibition, most impartial obserV- CTS will hope that, put Of respect for the high federal office he holds Senator Edwards will be able to disprovc the charge.
 If the charge is proven, of course 1fr. Edwards should give up being q public official.

STREET CLEARING DONE QUICKLY AND WE'LL

Residents were pleased to step from their homes this morning and discover that the street department was on the job during the night and had succeeded in clearing the snow from nearly every thoroughfaro. This Is the kind of work that gives the public confidence in the eficion- cy of government, 1t deserves com mondation.
 The average taxpayers takes 1t for granted that the city's money is spent recllessly without results being shown. But the Board of Public Works in this instance furnishes proof of an intelligent directing mind behind it's program. It tackled the snow problem over night with the spirit of the United States Marines faced with hard task. There was work to be done, and 1t was done.

OBJECT TO SKATING PARK.

The establishment of a skating pond in Stanley Quarter park this winter is deemed impractical by the park commissioners, according 10 communication sent by them to the common council in regard to the resolution recently adopted by that body to have a section of the park flooded. The recent dry spell, while not immediately serious, has caused the authorities to conserve all the water possible. and it is estimated that several million gallons would be required for a slzable skating pond, There is also the matter of suitable dams. The communication says Una the contractors is making good pro- gress on the park and that next year there will be a swimming pool, skst~ ing pond and other sporting facii- ties

New York, Jan. 21.-Cross- word puzzles will have their day in court. Tho Daily Graphic has obtained a supreme court order requiring the Bronx Home News to show cause why an injunction should not be granted preventing 1t from publish ing probable solutions to prize cross word puzzles appearing in the Graphic.
 The plaintiff newspaper maintains that publication of the answers by the defendant publication will di- minish the profit of its prize contest, and that it is an Infringement on copyright. The Home News contends that the answers to the puzzles are not copyrighter because thty have not been published when its own answers appear.
 The Home News also is publishing probable answers to crossword pug zles appearing in four other news papers.

G. O. P. SPLIT LIKELY nNER ZONING

If plans for zoning New Britain are opposed in the Legislature by representatives of this city, as has been indicated, it probably will cause a split in the legislative Re publican ranks from this city.
 Judge Benjamine w. filling and F. O. Rackliffe, representatives, are re- ported to be backing the move to block the zoning plan. Edward F. Hall. senator from New Britain, is chairman of the charter revision committee which is sponsoring the zoning amendment among other amendments.
 Senator Hall is a proponent of the zoning plan, while his colleagues evidently are not. If the latter block the plan in the Assembly a Republi- can split is inevitable, as Senator Hall is not expected 10 give in to the wishes of the representatives.

WHERE ARE THE SLEIGHS
 OF YESTERYEARo

Where are the sleighs of yester- year? Time was when a snow such as New Britain experienced yester- day would bring about a consistent jingle of sleighbelIs on contraptions drawn by swift-footed horses who enjoyed the merry going in the city and the nearby countryside as thor oughly as did their drivers.
 There was no need to clear up the roads. The snow was left where 1t fell, packed down in the course of @ week by the steel of innumer- able sleighs.
 But today we find different story. Keep the roads open" is the cry, meaning that they should be kept In shape for the lordly auto mobile which goes faster than a sleigh ever went and just as smooth ly.
 This new development has brought about the necessity for ad- ditional expenditures of money from the tax strong box: which is just another bill of expense brought about by changed conditions of life, but which must be met with ready purse,
 The conditions in the cities are no less different. AS soon as the blizzards and near blizzards are over the wall is heard to clean the streets of snow, or make them passa ble." And the city admlnistra- tions have to dig down into their pockets and dig into the snow later.
 A poet once called it the "beauti- full snow." It is clear that he lived in the country and operated q cut ter during the winter.

EFFICIENT INVESTIGATION
 OF CHARGES NEEDED

Rumors of possible grating in the city building department should be run down without fear or favor, and it Is gratifying 10 find the city ad- ministration adopting such a course. It is to be hoped that the rumors are not founded on fact, but the only way 10 find out Is to adopt the major operation of formal, sincere and effective investigation.
 The word graft" has been graft s ed lip the English language with it's exact meaning differing according to the speaker or writer. Some persons regard graft to mean improper annexation of money by officials, ex- tortion or plain stealing; others that acceptance of money by an official, or an oyercharge in fees, or an easy profit generally. comes under the SC'tilC tclIH OL gTdlt,
 What particular kind Of graft rumored in New Britain, and which will be found to have existed or did not exist, remains to be located by ahe investigators.
 It is said that some people were Imposed upon into thinking that contributions were needed for the alleged purpose of buying up the building commission" The quoted claim of builders that they paid $500 to get permission to start the foundation Of a store on Pennington avenue, against complaint made by 42 property owners. is likewise worthy of thorough investigation. The property owners who signed the romonstrance and who claim they were not given q hcaring-althoug their rcmonstrance was filed month before the permit to build was grantcd-appcar 10 offer a tangible lead for the investigators to follow up. Irrespective of the claim credited to the builders of the store regarding the alleged $500 paid il- legally, the alleged failure to get a hearing upon the remonstrance also deserves investigation.
 If improper statements and all legations have been made in these matters they can be fcrrcted out and rectifed. An efficient investigation will brand the rumors as false or brand them as based upon fact Public interest demands one or the other,
 What one would prefer to believe In such a matter counts for little; only the facts as they are impartially brought to light will have WelgRl with the public.
 But, in defense of the city build ing commission, it may be that the action Of members in carrying out the intent of recent ordinance giv- ing them broad powers in anticipa- ton of a city zoning act, may have created hard feelings on the part Of certain citizens who objected to permits given or favored permits re- fused. It is easy for nasty individ- ual to make remarks that have decidedly different import than is meant, and those remarks grow in seriousness as they are passed from mouth to mouth. 1nasmuch as there are such rumors it is well to run them down and prove or disprove them. We sincerely hope that they may be disproved.

 Before umbrellas was invented people got wetter than wat they do nowadays, but on the other hand they never lost eny.
 Some people spend there hole life trying to keep from getting wet, especially erround the feet, vile the ony thing that worries fish is keeping from getting dry. This proves everybody has their own trubbels.
 A umbrella blowing inside out is one of the greatest sites there is wen its not happening to yours.
 A parasol is sissey umbrella to keep the sun off of ladies that think they are too beautiful to get sunbernt.
 One of the best ways to make a persin maddest is by holding a um- berella over them in the rain so they get wet and you don't.
 If there one thing a fellow dis pizes more than a umbrella its rubbcrs.
