\ BETTER DEPOT IS STILL NEEDED

Some time ago committee ol citizens made trip of inspection through the New Britain railroad depot" and found conditions about as had been represented in general cony yersations. Since that time the railroad has shown no overwhelming desire to build a new station nor even 10 follow out most of the sundry recommendations. The so- called station is just about the same and nobody knows how many years it will take before there is an inn proyumcnt visible to the naked eye
 News of new railroad stations contemplated elso owhere ever and anon get into the news columns and every time New Britainite reads of them he is subjected 10 wave of mental emotion. What he concludes is that the larger cities gct improved railroad stations while the smaller cities help to pay for them through the payment of the r,escnt high rates for travel
 news story the other day had 10 do with ! contemplated new rail road station in Newark, N, J., by the Pennsylyania railroad. Accord ing 10 the reports the Pennsylvanla won't spend d cent more than $l2'- uo0. .oup 10 construct the station Those who have been 10 Newark say that the Tennsyivania station ihere is quite in a class with the New Haven station Tn New Britain; 1t is Il little larger, but that is all' It Is rust as seedy looking and has eltcited quite as much acrid com- uent as has been heard here. But the point IS. the Pennsy will rectify inc matter with a now station while the New Haven il still holding alooi in New Britain.
 An item in th, Springfield, Mass. par,rs the other day referred 10 the prorress being made upon the new s,.t,on in that city, Again the point is that Springfield is getting a ne" station and New Britain isn't.
 In Worcester the new station hal been in use for several years, atte1 the old barn was given up when Il was still a better looking barn thar the New Britain one. Again th' poin, is that Worcester got the sta ton and New Britain hasn't.

Super Power Radio
 Believed a Success

Schenectady, N, Y, July 26 R-- Super power radio broadcasting to some extent eliminates static and prevents fading, but does not "blan- ket' reception in areas near the station, radio engineers have decided after receiving first reports of & super-poWer program broadcast last night from this city. Messages re- CeiVed from radio listeners within 500 miles of WGY, the broadcasting station of the General Electric conn., pany, which last night through an auxiliary experimental station broad cast with 50.000 watts at the an- tenna, indicate that neither fading nor static were as bad as usual, but that both were present. At the same time radio listeners in this and nearby cities informed the station that they were able to tune out WGY and tune in other stations quite as usual. Super power broad- casting, tried last night for the first time in the history of radio, will be repeated Tuesday and Thursday at midnight, eastern standard time.

JUDGE GARY BACK,
 IS FEELING GOOD
Finds That Prescribed Diet Makes Him Improve

New York, July 27 P}-Elbert H. Gary, chairman of the United States Steel corporation, is back home after a second course in dietetics.
 Ready for work in his office, he feels fit enough to eat pie and ice cream, he says, but he won't because these items are not on the list of things which doctors think an 80- year-old man ought to eat.
 MT. Gary denied that he went to the hospital of the Tennessee Coal X Iron company in Birmingham, Ala, because he was ill With advancing age, he said, he had noticed that pie and ice cream failed to agree with him. Mentioning this misfortune to Dr. Lloyd Noland, the hospitals head, on a tour of inspection, he was promptly induced to learn what sci- entif1c eating was for a spry old man.
 For three weeks he obeyed orders. though not treated as sick man. His only fear now Is that his wife through kindness will tempt him to eat some delicacy not on his menu.
 He also denied canceling health trip abroad because he did not need it. The trip was to have been for pleasure, he declared, but he did not say why he was not going. Alcoholic stimulants are tabooed along with pie and ice cream. He is to eat little meat, - '" fats or sweets, but pl,
 vegetables. Exercise, plt.,s
 work and sleep. obeying the goldeA rule apd keeping ones temper are also on the list of 14 rules for health.

.5I MILLION GALS.

This Is COnneCtiCut'S Record
 for Six Months

Hartford, July 27-Ga 5oline enough to proper q motor vehicle 647,393, 800 miles or to the sun and back to the earth three times with much to spare, was bought for auto mobiles in Connecticut during the first six months of this year, accord ing to figures announced by the state motor vehicle department. If the traffic were 10 have been evenly distributed over all the public roads in the state, improved or unim proved, 53,949 motor vehicles would have passed over every mile throughout Connecticut during that period.
 These statistics are based on an average motor efficiency of twelve and one-half miles to the gallon, which has been determined by the American Research Foundation as representative of motor vehicle traf- fife in the United States. Motor vehi- cle gasoline consumption in Connect icut in the half year ended June 30 reached a total of approximately ,191, 400 gallons, and the rtatc's income from gasoline tax amount ed to about $517,914, which by the law was turned over to the state highway department for highway improvements. At the national rate of motor efficiency the gasoline bought at Connecticut stations vas sufficient to carry motor vehicles G47,393,50O miles. which is more than six times the mean distance be- tween the sun and the earth,
 Since there were 225,8S4 motor vehicles registered in the state in the first six months, that would in- dicate that the average mileage Of each motor vehicle did not exceed 2,S00 miles during that period and that the average consumption per car was 223 gallons, as against 37S gallons average consunpt:cn for motor vehicles of the country for all of last year.

could not but affect the nature of political development.
 It Is a truism of American life that the man with an idea is well come nearly everywhere; but he cannot get a quarter as far with 1t unless he can talk about 1t, or present" it to his hearers in an in- telligibe manner; in other words, "sell' 1t with what amounts to salcsmanship. MT, Bryan was salesman of prime proportions. There are stories that good sales man can sell a white elephant: and MT. Bryan was such a salesman. Some of his lost causes proved white elephants, but he always had an- other cause on tap or in the mak- ing. Through the agency of his gift for public speaking he could always convince a large portion of the peo- pie that what he was trying to sell them was exactly what they needed.
 He had been termed factor in American politics entirely out of proportion to his accomplishments, which may have been true di- agnosis His influence upon the Democratic party has been in no wise to the advantage of that po- litical school of thought. His race with Mckinley In 1896 was close and a contest of unexampled vigor: since that time, with Bryan continu- ing as an influence In the party when he wasn't 8 candidate -- the party was at It's zenith during the two terms of Woodrow Wilson, and it was speech by Mir. Bryan at the Baltimore convention which turned the tide from Champ Clark to Woodrow Wilson--again the subtle influence of speechmaking.
 Some of Mir. Bryan's minor causes have been successful, such as the direct election of |. S. senators, the income tax, woman suffrage. One of his major causes-prohibition--is law and has created greater ditfi- culty of enforcement than any other amendment. His free silver cause was left to die and the Commoner never referred to it in recent years. His latest cause was that of fund mentalsm in religion, and this may lose much of its impetus now that he is dead.
 Much could be written about MT. Bryan's yagaries during his long political career; but that Is not the purpose of this editorial. When death draws the curtain a respect for the memory of the dead should be maintained. It is one thing to disagree with the contentious of the living while they have the power to give answer; it is another thing to be contentious after the angel ol death has whispered.
 Bryan is dead; it remains to be seen whether his spirit will SC marching on' in the minds of thai portion of the people who followed his leadership.

Now It Can Be Told

The following incident happened in big military camp in England in 1916, reports G. F. Hjalmarson:
 A platoon of Canadian infantry were on the parade ground. They were passing messages which means that the sergeant would whisper a message to the first man in the line and he would whisper it to the next one and so on down the line to the other end.
 On this day the sergeant started the message at one end with: "CoL Lang is going to advance Send re- Inducements, When the sergeant got to the other end of the line the men there seemed unable to keep their faces straight.
 Well" asked the sergeant, what is the message? ?''
 Said the last man with a broad grin and an Irish brogue: Sure l Sergeant, Col. Lang Is going to a dance; send his pants to be | pressed"
