GOLDEN RULE WEEK

(When Everybody Talked Unto Others As They Wished Others To
 Talk Unto Them)
 Imagined by Geraldine Thompson)
 Bandit-I feel quite ashamed of addressing you in such a harsh manner, but would you be so kind as to- elevate your hands while l gently remove your watch and pock- etbook?
 I'm sorry there's not more money in the pockctbook, but I hope you'll enjoy what I have.
 Bandit will, thank you. I hope haven't inconvenienced you. It's a splendid evening, isn't it?
 Nictim-A wonderful evening. and as for hothering me. don't mention it, old chap. Pleased to have met you.
 Traffic Cop-Would you kindly stop? Oh, thank you so much. I deeply regret this, but I must arrest you for speeding. You were going forty-five miles an hour, I believe, In that nice looking car of yours.
 Motorist-Delighte to oblige you, officer I was going fifty, to be ex- act. Won't you have a cigar?
 Traffic Cop-I wouldn't think of taking it from you, sir. Have one of mine. Take three or four. Yes, a half dozen if you like, thank you.
 Motorist-Charmed I'm sure, old fellow. Now if you're ready 10 take me to the police station get in with me and we'll be there in jiffy.
 Traffic Cop-Oh, no. That won't be lecessary. I'm sure that it was all an accident. However, I wish to advise you - you'll pardon my abruptness, I'm sure-not to let 1t happen again, when I'm looking. Good afternoon, old scout. What's your first name? George? Mines Bill. Well, so long. George.

THE T RAILS

The West Main pavement IS giving good service. but il will be inter- os'inc 10 note how long it will take for the pavement to begin bulging alongside the T rails, The work was well done - the finest job Of the kind ever done in the city. But there are those who say the r rails are simply the wrong kind of rails to have in a city. The Impressions found along many of thase rails throughout the city woulI seem to hear out tbe contention. The groov- eel rail, a newer and more modern type Of rail for city use, seems to meet tIe requirements better. but the Connecticut company apparent lr could not afford to go 10 the expense Of supIan.ug the T rails with the grooyed rails. and the city officials made no effort 10 force the company 10 do so. Probably the Public Utilities Commission would not have permitted this expense be- ing unloaded upon tho poor street railway company.
 Grooyed rails arc in use on the main streets in Hartford, and there are a minimum of dcprcssions along them. But the T rails are in use

MARIE EXPLAINS :.
 VISIT OF LOVE
Dedicates Maryhill Museum of
 Fine Arts

Queen Mrie's Train, En Route to Seattle, Wash. Nov. 4 (R - Hav- ing fulfilled her mission to this country, dedication of the Maryhill museum of fine arts. at Maryhill, Washington, Queen Marie, moved on to Seattle today and toward the end of her western swing around the country.
 Vancouver, which will be reached tomorrow, marks the turning point of the queens visit and tomorrow night she will begin the homeward journey to Rumania.
 Marie dedicated the museum at Maryhill in an impassioned but brief address in which she bespoke her friendship for Samuel Hill, world traveller, road builder and adven- turer. and for Miss Loie Fuller, for mer dancer, who, the queen said. was of great assistance to her and to Rumania during the World war.
 Her address, extemporaneous and frightening to members of her party who represent the Bucharest government and who wish to guard against unfavorable political reac- tion at home, also answered criti- cism of her visit to the United States.
 Because Hill is her friend, she said, she came from Rumania to assist him in his plan to make the museum power for international harmony. Declaring the name of Miss Fuller had "often been slight- ed," Marie said the former dancer "stood by me when my back was to the wall" and had gone "all over America seeking aid for my people" during the war.
 Queen Marie's program for today led her to Longview, Wash, for an early morning visit to lumber mill before proceeding to Seattle.

\ YOUTH, \ GUN, AND
 \ MASK

How do they get that way, is a question that might well be asked after a reading of the news ac- count of the New Britain youth of 19 who was taken to a police sta ton in Stamford and there found to possess a revolver and a black mask.
 This youth not only carried a concealed weapon, but the presence of the mask indicated he at least thought of using the gun in a hold up. No other inference is likely to be held by the police.
 Yet, when we realize that scores of boys have been complained of as being oht during all hours of the night in various sections of the city, one is scarcely surprised at the likelihood of some of them thinking of going into the hold-up business, or any other illegal busi- ness that gives q faint promise of easy money.
 But such money in the long run is not easy. Nine times out of ten easy money also goes easily; and the quicker it goes the greater the pressure for more easy money. And the more easy money is secured the greater the chances of detection and incarceration in an institution. It is a game that does not pay; yet ever so often we read of cases like the one under discussion. and some times of cases which are not nipped in the bud through the keen wit of a detective sergeant.
 Crime is receiving shorter shrift everywhere. There is less sympathy being shown with undoubtcd crim- inals. They are getting longer sen- tences, and punishment is more certain. Now York and some other states have passed more stringent laws, and they mean just what they say. Crime in New York hos had a remarkable falling off since inc Raumes law has gone into cf- feet. The word has gone through Inc so-callcd underworld that so- eicty is protecting irsclf in the best manner it knows of - certainty of punishment and no mercy. The same tendency is being shown in other states.

The railroad has responded 10 the letter of President Abbe of the Bus inessmens association and today had gangs of men at work moving back the switch at the station.

BROADCASTING AND
 CONCERTS


 publisher has succeeded in creating
 widespread discussion over the in-
 fluence of radio upon concerts and
 music in general. AS Mir. Boosey has
 been the lessor of the most impor- tant London concert arena, and says
 business has been bad ever since radio competition started his pro-
 nouncements upon the subject can
 be regarded as proceeding from more than professional jealousy.
 If the public can hear great artists over the radio, or great musical organizations generally, why hear them fin person,' can
 justly be asked. That, In effect, is what Mr. Boosey begs leave to in quire.
 Conditions in England must be vastly different than in the United States. If Br. Boosey were the les sor Of Carnegie hall in New York he would never complain Of radio competition. The New York Sym phony is broadcasting it's concerts, yet nobody in his senses can claim the attendance is lessened thereby. To prove it, one need only attempt 10 purchase a ticket. There are none to be had. The same holds true of the other organizations play ing at the famous hall.
 If MT. Boosey were lessor Of Symphony hall in Boston he like wise would not be complaining Of radio competition. The Boston symphony is being broadcasted, yet the seats are virtually sold out for all season, with the exception of the small battery of seats saved for transients at each performance and which are not placed on sale ahead of time.
 Although artists do not agree upon the question, there is no doubt that radio is not harming the big events in big cities. Perhaps that is due to the millions of people hav- ing access to the halls; or it may be due to the fact that getting sweet sounds over the radio and getting them "out in front" are two vastly different experiences.
 But the effect upon the smaller musical affairs is at least open to question. When almost everyone can hear the big affairs over the radio it appears logical that the affairs will have to be ex- cecdingly good to compete with the If the radio tends to improve the smaller affairs 1t may be a good development to it's credit.
 But fundamentally it is a question of buying power. In England just now the buying power of the popu- lation as a whole has been decreased. Unemployment is still rife, the ef- feet of the general strike and the coal strike have been serious, and there probably are million of peo- pie who would but can't" when 1t is a matter of attending such events. The English theater has suffered severely as well as Mr. Boosey's music enterprises.
 In the United States, however, buying power is high. Every con- cert in New York is well attended, ! many of them being damned. The 66 first class theaters for the most part arc filled nightly, and at top of the more pro- nounced successes being sold out weeks in advance in spite of what are known as grand opera prices This being the situation on this side of the Atlantic, it is unlikely that radio concerts are going 10 harm the real thing.
 Instead of dissenting about the alleged i'll effects of broadcasting, Nlr. Booscy might better open with q political speech attacking the of the British hard times.
