The Snake Indians were so called
because of . the characteristics Of
these natives in quickly concealing
themselves when once discovered.
They seemed to glide away in the
grass, sagebrush, and rocks and
disappear with all the subtlety of a
serpent.

WHIPPING POST FOR BAD MEN

Connecticut may not be suf-
 flciently progressive to suit
 everybody, but it is not so re-
 actionary as to give legal sanc-
 ton to the public whipping
 post. - Stamford Advocate.
 Without favoring the whipping post as a punishment for evil doers' there is something to be said In favor of it, especially if one listens to a citizen of Delaware, where q poIe and "cat" are part of the equipment of county authorities
 Delaware does not claim to be jnordinately "progressive;" indeed some critics call 1t "reactionary' ' But citizens of that diminutiye com monwealth appear to think a dozen or so smacks on the back of an evil doer has a wholesome effect gen. erally. Of course, whether such spanking is advisable in public IS an entirely different matter, although there is little doubt that such pub fcity" adds to the embarrassment and discontinue of the patient.
 Down in Delaware they say that the whipping post is particularly effective deterrent to wife heaters' A man who beats his wife and him self is given a beating never strikes his wife again.
 Others who dislike the whipping post are the general run of misde- mcanors, who hate Delaware in tcnscly. In fact, they don't go near the state,
 The whipping post is entirely too effective an agency of reform ild these modern days. But chief dan ger in it's use is that it might be overdoue. A public whipping, one might say, has an advantage over private custigatiou, in that it is open , 10 all beholders to observe that the ! victim got no more than is legally his due - usually plenty, in Della ware.
 The idea thai whipping is sno longer ] a mode Of punishment for refractory i prisoners does not appear to Dc based on fact. There are stories that the paddle or a lash are used in pcnitcntiaries in many of the states, and there is no reason to believe Una, the treatment is milder than a public walloping In Delaware, Cor poral punishment in prisons is worse than a public whipping in Delaware for the simple reason that the pub- 1 lie is never the wiser and public opinion has no chance to be formed.

OUR CITY MEETING IS PAPERS TOPIC

The New London Day reads a les son to New Britain regarding our "city meeting" system, which sup planted the oId-fashioned New Eng land town meeting, which wouldn't work properly when the city be- came sizeable and important.
 The New London paper recounts our aims, our troubles and the ap- parent reasons therefore, in the fol- lowing:
 New Britain's city meeting is not attended by all vsters, as is the theory of town meetings but sup poscdly by 25 duly elected mem bers from each ward and a delega- ton from the city government. But 25 all told do not always go to the meetings. As result a small group of persistent voters controls the city meetings and keeps the tax rate be- low what many think is neces- sary rate for the promotion of city improvements.
 The city meeting idea has worked elsewhere: it works for instance in Brookline, Mass, which retains designation as a town, but has a representative town meeting similar to that in New Britain. The trouble in New Britain is not that the demo- cratic form is poor, but that the voters lack a sense of public spirit. No government is better than the people it governs. The New Eng land town meeting still works in the smaller communities because the smaller communities are yltalIy interested in public works. When only a few hundred voters live in a town, majority of them generally are taxpayers. The expenditure of public funds Is high personal mat ter with them. But when a com 1nunity begins to exceed 5000 Tn population, few voters are taxpayers and there is an increasing liability to overlook the duties of citizen ship"

made part of tho home equipment Of millions of persons. IL is not like some important discoveries, such as those based upon the use of radium. which because Of their nature arc known only 10 few. Nowadays virtually every boy goes in for a radio receiving appliance, and most remarkable of all, the average kid can "nx up" receiving sets better than his elders,
 Despite Its alleged simplicity, it Is hard to understand how radio, as we have it actually works, To speak of the vibration of ether waves Is simple enough. but considering that there are about half thousand radio stations on the continent. the broadcasting waves from which dc not greatly interfere with one an. other, 1t is difficult for the non. scientific layman to figure how the waves don't get all muddled up, But they don't - and that is the main point to know, for all practical pur- poses.
 What effect radio will have upon the mental capabilities of the popu. lation is a question much debated, Il is claimed that there is but a cer. tain limited time for leisure, and fl goodly part of that time is giver over to listening in on the radio the net result is less time for devotion 10 other matters that usually arc part of our leisure hours. If we are to be a nation of radio listeners we can scarcely at the same time be a nation of book readers, or students and devotees of subjects demanding the use of spare time.
 But for good or ill, radio is here to stay. Humanity will have tc adapt itself to it and 1t seems ts be a pleasant task.

Deep in the Diamond Minds

By LIT, water E- ITdpTOCh
 Recent reports of crime Of vio- lcncc committed against the hus- band of the owner of the ilI-starred Hope Diamond recall an experience of my own with jewel of great price which I shall never forget.
 AS young man ] was employed for two years in the famous Kin herly mines where reached a posi- ton of such trust that l alone among the thousands Of employees was allowed the use of the private or family entrance to the mines. This entrance, access o|which was through the cellar of the Kimberly home, and the winding passages leading from it, were kept a pro- found secret. It was my knowledge of them that saved my life upon the occasion of which l speak.
 l had entered the mine with the day shift, Penetrating to the lower levels 1 became aware that l was being followed by one of the su- pcrintendents whom l knew to be bitterly envious of my intimacy with the family. Even as l stood there, susprcling foul play, he and two hirclings sprang upon me, struck me 10 earth with pick, dashed my miners lamp against the side of the shaft, and fled. An instant later a dull boom told me that the wretch had exploded a charge of dynamite in the passage, leaving me half dead. imprisoned in the terrible darkness.
 With bleeding hands I clawed al mass of broken rock when sudden ly. overturning a large fragment the grave in which l was buried was suddenly flooded with light. Ii came from the most magnificent diamond l had ever seen, one oi the rare type which needs no as- sistance from the polisher's wheel. With this to guide me, I was able 10 find my way back through the family entrance 10 the Kimberlys cellar. When l entered the celiaI Mir. Kimberly, who was coming ur the path, saw the glow of the dia. mond, thought the house was or fire, and turned in an alarm. Only by the quickest action were we able 10 hide the jewel before the firemer i came and so avert the disaster which would surely have followed had the value of my find become known.

Tragedy in the Lonely Heath

A Tongue Twister On lone Gath heath lived sam Grath With an uncouth neighbor Keith Macbtth. Keith had just two teeth in his mouth. "Who stole my apples? It was Keith!" Said Smith McGrath, for under meath The tree lay an apple core on the heath, With tooth marks made by the two Keith teeth. Soon Keith saw Smith run down the path, And Smith yelled. "Death to Keith Macbeth" But Keith hit Smith in the mouth with q lath; And then Smith landed - and that's no myth. Macbeth with an oath spat out both teeth In bloody froth, there on Gath heath.

GRADE CROSSINGS BAD; cARFIEsSNESS IS WORSE

Elimination of dangerous grade Crossings remains a vital issue and each year sees progress in this di- rection. But whereas the most dam rerous grade crossings - the dealh traps - are being changed to safe underpass or oyerpass culverts and bridges. the total of ordinary grade crossings has increased.
 The record for 1924 reads that 1,1so grade crossings - most Of them regarded as especially danger ous - were abolished, but S,544 new crossings were established.
 The 1.13o were elipinatcd at the expenditure Of much money; the 2544 were established at little if any cost. That is an important diff ference between the two kinds of crossings.
 Compared with the total Of cross tngs in the country, those abolished and the new ones established of course were comparatively few in nnmber as there is a total of 25S'- TAO crossings in the country - vast opportunity for carnage. Mill lions of automobiles pass over them every day, and 1t must be added tfFlt Of these millions a goodly percentage crnss tbe tracks without thelr drivers practicing ordinary safe guards.

BUS LINES SHOULD YIELD TRANSFERS

The bus lines of the city and In other cities throughout the state generally will have to do business in more cooperative spirit If they are to make headway against one of the main contentious of the trolley companies.
 They will have to devise a system of inter-bus transfers. thus placing the bus business upon a plane com- mensurate with the transfer service given by the trolley companies.
 As things are at present, citing New Britain as an example, the bus concerns are operating from various points in the outlying sections of the city to the Center, It is as far as their service extends. If bus pas senger from the outskirts wants transportation to the outskirts of an- other part of the city served by an- other bus line, he or she must ride 10 the center on one bus, change to another bus and pay another far. The busses are transporting passengers cheaper than the trolley company, but whenever this is brought before the P. '. c or to the attention of the trolley company it is replied that trolley transportation is cheaper con- sidering the privilege of free trans fers. That is to say, if person rides from one outlying section to another outlying section, confining himself to the service Of the Connecticut com panv, he or she can make the trip for one fare. while in the case of the busses it will require two.
 The truth Of the matter. however, is that 75 per cent or more trolley messengers do not ask for transfers, but merely ride to the center. Con sequcntly they pay for something they do not get,
 To effect an agreement among themselves as to the interchange Of transfers should be no great task for the bus companies. The present fare of six cents is attractive to the pubuc, but as stated the ride terminates or begins at the center; if however, a system were arranged whereby upon payment of two addl- tional cents the passengers could get a transfer to any other bus line II would be attractive to the public and an advantage to the bus companies of course. they would be compelled 10 transport small proportion or osssenrers at a lesser price, but If those desiring Transfers on the busses total no greater percentage than those using transfers on the trolley company lines, It "oulu amount to very little.
 If the bus companies adopted such a system 1t would effectively eliminate the eternally recurring claim by the proponents of trolley nompanies that their rates are cheaper for long rides because o' inc transfer privilege.
