Editor New Britain Herald:
 Are Connecticut Co. busses exempt from arrest for overlooking and speeding?
 It has come to my attention that various bus drivers have been haled into court for overlooking their busses. Fine, people deserve safe transportation. But, why should Connecticut Go. busses going to Hartford be allowed to have 2S peo- pie standing and every seat taken. everybody squirming for a place to breathe and yet go by the police un- molested? Such was the case when the writer rode up on noisy. rattly, speedily driven bus twice in the last week.
 Once, leaving Hartford at 5 p. m. there were 21 people standing when the bus left Gold stfeet. There were at least 25 people left out on the curb eff there had been stairs to the roof this would not have been the easel. Two men smoked during the entire trip, the bus travelled at about 3S miles per hour (this Is not their limit) and everyone in gen. eral was jamnted and generally dis gusted with the new efficient" service being rendered between New Britain and Hartford.
 n NaIN hIte hN, my house so fast that it attracted our attention and when going to the window noticed that its speed was so great that 1t could not take the corner at Carlton street and Con- monwealth avenue, so continued up Carlton street about 500 feet. then backed up and proceeded toward Hartford.
 A person driving on the Hartford road takes his life fin his hands since these Whites. Macks and Pierce Arrows come SS-44 miles an hour straight at you in the middle of the road. Will they be liable to arrest the same as the pleasure driver?
 It is hardly faiE to blame tho driver for overlooking bus when there are enough people to fill two buses many times. The driver, however. should be madeto pay the penalty for fast reckless driving. All corners are taken for granted to be clear when a bus approaches, II this bus service is to be efficient and satisfactory should there not be enough busses 10 carry the people who now have to watch them go by and shouldn't their speed be regu- lated by the police the same as any other motor vehicle?

SAYS THE BIBLE 1 IS NO7 A FRAUD.
Story Of Jonah and the Whale
 , Is True, Claims Lecturer

If the Bible is a good book then fl must be. true. but if otherwise then it must be false and it's teach- ings to be questioned" was the statement made by W. L. Pelle of New York city in his lecture "Is the Bible Infallible?". which he gave at Odd Fellows hall, yesterday afternoon. He said the Bible is either Gods book or mans. The words, Hear ye the word of the Lord" or Thus saith the Lord" are recorded numerous times and if the message Is not from the Lord then the Book of the Ages is a fraud, he said.
 Mir, Prelle also said that the fact of the Bibles wonderful influence upon the hearts of men is one big proof that it is of divine origin. The homes where this book is not only kept dusted but which shows thumb marks upon its pages are the homes that are the most god like, contented and the happiest. Robbers and murderers are never known to carry it around In their vest pockets.
 He showed how the book had been kept in the most miraculous manner. -Voltaire, the infldel. made the statement: Tn less than hun dred years, Christianity will be swept from existence and have passed into history" Voltaire did not live to see the day, however, when his house was used as head quarters for 8 Bible society and ] packed from top-to bottom with Bibles and his old printing press used to print the word of God. Mir. Pelle says that 1t has been found that the writings of the Chris tian fathers, such as Clement. Poly carp, Ignatius (the latter two who were taught by St. John) and the dates of whose writings were not later than the third century. have contained the whole of the New Testament with the exception of k2 verses scattered through their writing so that if the whole New Testament had been anhihilated during the Middle Ages it could have been reproduced. "We have however still today the original manuscripts" he said,
 He also said the story of Jonah and the fish was confirmed and is Aot an impossible fact. That with l the correct rendering of the Hebrew the story of Joshua commanding the sun to stand still is easily ex- plained, he contends. Also, proph- ecy is clearly shown in the Bible and is being fulfilled is another proof that the Bible is not of mans origin. It is made up of 66 books and was in process of being written for over a period of 1900 years. Jehovah using men 10 record the statements and events living hun dreds of years apart, and yet it re- mains a harmonious whole, At the end we find a ransomed race re- leased from the bondage of sin and death. Christ Jesus the hero has become exalted above all powers and principalities; Satan. the de ceiyer--destroyed."
 Mir. Pelle in conclusion said the" Bible was not fraud but genuine

on the New Haven railroad; in re- gard 10 transient passenger travel between the two cities the busses In all likelihood will compete with the railroad very comfortably in view Of the improved service possible, But the New Haven railroad will not object so long us the Connecti- cut company, it's step-child, operates the busses.
 The trolley route to Meriden al ways has been unsatisfactory Do cause of the roundabout route it follows.
 Operation of busses between the two cities undoubtedly will please the public Such busses should have been in operation between these two points long ago,
 Coincldent with the announce ment of busses between New Brit ain and Mcridcn. came one of the establishment of additional bus service to and from Kensington, said service being confined to the afternoon. The announcement in cludcd the information that there would be an improved Service along the Berlin -Kensington route when more busses have been secured. This evidently means when more busses are secured in addition to those necessary on the newly es- tablished lines, such as between New Britain and Meriden.

'Knoxville, Tenn, has city manager. At'the end of the first year. June 30, 1924, he au- thorized the city council to re- fund 10 per cent of the taxes already paid for that year or due. This refund amounted to PA cents and the actual tax paid will be reduced from SPA $2.19. Knoxville is quite a city, having a population of SO,O00. If it can keep this up the city manager plan will be popular with the taxpayers if not with the politicians.

Desserts
By Kid Boots

No matter how big of a mecl you eat, you have a empty feeling wen you get through, if there wasent eny dessert.
 Rice pudding is ony bum imita- tion of dessert unless 1t has so meny raisins in it you cant hardly see the rice, wich it never has. A big hot apple. dumping is a wonderful site to some people, but it ony gives paneful thawts to others. Another kind of dessert wicll gives plezzure or sorrow depending on who you are, is cold ice creem on top of hot apple pie.
 One of the greatest desserts is watermelon because no matter how big Of peece you are going to get you know you don't half to leeve eny special room for it because that's the kind of q dessert it is. The best time to eat froot is be- tween meels vile you are doing something else at the same time, but some people serve 1t for dessert and expect you to look satisfied.
