DEAR MR.. FIXIT: Why not
have the street repair department
put on an emergency truck to make
repairs Immediately upon receipt of

Also why in the world are block

permanent. TIMES READER.
The city authorities claim that a
low budget compels them to repair
a number of holes in the same dis
trict in one trip, thereby saving
the time required for moving from
one place to another. The repair
of the holes is a little more COM

The international uniform Sunday school
lesson for Aug. 20: Ideal Human Re-
lationships. ''-Exod. 20:12-21.
By VIM. e. GILROY, ID. d.
Editor of The Congregationalist


The last six of the Ten Command
ments, which form the subject Of
this lesson, are classed under the
title. Duties to Man" AS we sug-
gested last week, however, they i'm
ply-quite as much as the proceed
ing. commandments-duties to God,
for God is honored most when men
express the spirit of his love and the
spirit of true worship to him in the
daily relationships of life.
Here, however, in connection with
these commandments we have spe-
cial occasion to emphasize the place
of the Commandments at the very
foundation of society. Can one doubt
that the disregard of these Com
mandments is the great secret of
much of the unhappiness, discomfort
and wickedness in American life to-
day? Where home has no meaning
and father and mother are not hon
ored or possibly are not worthy of
honor, how can one hope to see
sound conditions outside of the
homes of the Nation?
On the other hand, nation that
has good homes. where father and
mother are cody. where they sur
round the home with the spirit of
love and service, and where they are
themselves honored, will be a nation
exemplifying a~great social and po-
litical life.

AN UNSAFE SCHOOL

It appears from the report of Building Inspector F. J. Hennessy that SO5 pupils have been crowded into the old Smith school building all year - capacity $50 pupils - while the building was unsafe. Al least, that is the inference if one is to conclude the building did not become unsafe suddenly but be- came so gradually. So alarmed was the school board when the condi- tions became known that school sessions have been stopped in the building at once, despite the fact that there are only two more weeks of the school term remain ing.
 The school board acted wisely in taking such precipitate action. The public will think, however, that the conditions complained of by the building inspector should have been known sooner.
 Now the school board faces an- other costly bill of repairs With big building program under way, and repairs to the Smith and Bart lett school added, the necessity to spend money continues brisk. But the city will never be satisfied un- til its entire school plant is in first class condition and popular ap- proval will be given to every effort 10 bring this about at the earliest possible time.
 The building inspector's report regarding the Bartlett school says that the spans are too great be- tween the bearings. and they are not properly bridged, This is an item of building technic that must date from an earlier time. Under such conditions, of course, the gymnasium on the second floor is not a safe propositions; but it is agreeable that the repairs in this school can be made at a compara- lively low cost.
 A disaster in school building would be terrible calamity. Let there be no chances taken. Put all the buildings in absolutely safe condition, regardless of cost.

A COCOANUT FROM BRAZIL

By giving notice that she intends to withdraw from the League O. Nations, Brazil has two years in which to think it over before finally vending her way from the councils of the family of nations born as a result of the experience of the war. She is not yet out of the League. and the coming change of administration in Brazil may change her course. It will be no great honor for the South American re- public to follow in the footsteps of Costa Rica, which gave notice in December, 1924, of her intention to withdraw from the League,
 Spain, in the same mood as Bra gil over the question of a seat in the Council, may likewise with draw, its representative declaring his country cannot consent to being relegated to the list of secondary powers. As every power cannot be regarded as first class power. it is clear to those not interested in grandiloquent phrases that neither Brazil nor Spain come under the commonly accepted category of be- ing first class powers.
 Sir Austen Chamberlain neatly answered the contention of Spain's representative when he declared that permanent council member ship cannot be awarded upon a historic and cultural basis, or po- tential greatness, or any of the other points brought forward, Seats on the Council, Sir Austen declared. can only be given to those powers who in a crisis or emergency can save the world from war. From this standpoint neither Brazil nor Spain is one of those powers. It is for this reason that the League prefers to have Germany as a per- manent member of the Council; by having the Berlin government thus identified with the League there will be control of Germany eXer- cised during a crisis. And that is something much worth while 10 Eu- rope, which naturally will feel bet ter with Germany in the League.
 Brazil is in a funk, but may get over it. There should be no reason for nations to act like children.

OILNG THE STREETS

The board Of public works hav- ing given US the annual deluge of crude petroleum upon residence streets, 1t is necessary for the har- assed pedestrian and autoist alike 10 get along the best he can until the oil soaks into the soil and reaches that state of tnnocuous desuetude that spells satisfaction, Until then beware.
 The stuff is slippery extra moist and sticky. Rubber tires can skid upon 1t to perfection. Sidewalks hear the footprints Of all who crossed the seas Of oil at the in tersections. As for entering sweet home after having embarked upon such saturnalia Of petroleum as some Of our streets present-Just don't try f..
 The oil caravan Of the board Of public works certainly made a thorough job Of the srrinkIing process this year, Some might be inclined 10 call if g. crude job; but that depends altogether upon the difference between crude humor and dour seriousness. We should say that none Of the predetermined streets will need another half-inch coat of "tar" until next year this time. AZ for dust - there will not be any Of it for tho bad mems eyes this year.

SPEED IT UP

Without posing as experts as 10 the length Of time 1t should re- quire 10 repave q street. and mak- ing due allowance for some in- element weather, it seems to the casual observer that the repaving of West Main street is taking an unduly long time.
 This is one of the streets which, when undergoing repaving, should be subjected to the fastest possible speed, The dislocation of heavy traffic is entirely too serious to permit the wastage of time.
 So far the Connecticut company has repaired it's tracks first upon one side of the thoroughfare. and then further west on the other side. The company seems to he far ahead Of the city in it's necessary work. Construction of a gutter along the park side Of the repairing job seems 10 have been the chief work done by the city as this was writ ten. Yet neither the trolley com- pany nor the city seems to sense the necessity for faster work There appear to be too few men employed on the job.
 There may be some satisfactory explanation for this delay, but it will scarcely be convincing to citi- zens who dislike to see such main thoroughfare torn up longer than is absolutely necessary. We have no doubt the work will be done thor oughIy and at a low cost - when 1t is finally finished; but speed is an element in such things not to be overlooked.

THE PRINCE VISITS
NEW ENGLAND

Grown Prince Gustavus Adolphus Of Sweden, and his consort, the Crown Princess Louise, are visiting this tier of states this week. after having spent most ot their time since arrival on American shores in New York and Washington. They make no mistake in including New England in their American itinerary; everything is set for a good time, and even the weather promises to be reasonably favor able.
 Beginning with a degree at Yale, a swing to the Worcester fair grounds, where a multitude of peo- pie of Swedish extraction will await his coming, the prince will spend the end Of the week at and near Boston. IL is safe to say that no shrine in New England will be missed by the future king of Sweden. One wonders whether even a crown prince does not sometimes get tired Of sightseeing, the frenzied now-this-now-that kind that comes to distinguished visitors in America. But he is strong and robust, and no doubt can stand it after getting accus- toned to the ceaseless movement.
 It would take the crown prince and princess longer than a week to enjoy all the manifest beauties of New England, but time is feeting and there doubtless cannot be too great a degree Of tarrying during a trip around the world. The na- ton already has learned to love the heir to sweden's throne; his demo- cratic ways exert an irresistible ap~ peal. He has combined the graces of royalty with the sympathetic habiliments of democracy. He will feel at home in New England, where attributes such as he pos sesses In manifest profusion are in the first rank Of popular esteem. Long may he live,

MAYOR WALKERS BOARD

Mayor Walker of New York has come to the conclusion that solv- ing the ills of the metropolis Is too much for one man, or one half dozen best minds" in the city hall He therefore has called upon 40 citizens to diagnose the situation and plan for q hundred years"
 If solving present ills is too much for the present administration Of less than 1T able men, then plan ming for loo years may be too much for ten times that number One fears the babel Of voices, the jarring conclusions, the utter hope lassness of the outlook.
 In 100 years the puny efforts of fhe dauntIess 40 probably will be entirely forgotten. New Yorks crop or new problems grows like weeds. The place is too big; it's unfortunate citizcnry will have to worry along the best it can,

DOMESTIC OIL

Decreases in exports Of petrolc- um from inc Pacific coast, and a decrease in potrojeum imports from Mexico at tho Gulf ports, has been duly noted by the Shipping board. From which one might judge our petroleum supply is sup plying domestic demands despite the fact no great new fields have been discovered and developed this year. Indeed, recourse has been taken to working over some Of the older fields with improved drilling machinery This is a sig nificant development, although there is no immediate likelihood Of decreased oil reserves.

TWO VIEWS OF
BLAMING YOTTH,

Flaming youth" is a term that has been coined to apply 10 some modern chaps who are credited with a too-abundant ambition to SOW wild oats. Others claim they don't flame any moro than they formerly did. Here are two views: Colonel Margaret Bovill, in charge Of Is Salvation army homes for girls in the east. announced the motor car is a lure of evil" Here is what she said:
 Tn spite or reforms such as
 doing away with red light dis
 rricts, the Salvation Army now
 has in this territory twice the
 number of maternity homes il
 operated in these ,urid days Of
 the past and they are all filled
 70 capacity - by whom? Not
 by professional but by school
 children, many Of whom have
 been obliged 10 leave their
 desks in high school or ele-
 mentary grades 10 go direct 10
 our institutions. The average age of these girls is sixteen. - In a majority of cases
 we find the same cause - au- tomobiles with predatory driv- CTS. In hundreds of cases we have found girls either on the way to school or on the way home from school have been picked up by men in automo- piles with disastrous results.'
 President W. II. P. Fauncc of Brown university Providence, R.. L, is more optimistic. He gave an address to graduates on the sub ject and one can get a good ink ling of the nature of the talk by the headlines above it which ap- peared in the New York World. Here is the headline story:
 Flaming youth better than sires. President Faunce of Brown in graduation address upholds adventurous spirit. Glad repression is over. Misun- derstanding at home seen caus- ing disaster.'
