Once every F months 1t is the custom among all civilized peoples to add a digit to the number by which the year is designated. AL though January 1 is no more i'm portant. in reality, than July F or April 20 or any other day, the mere fact that it is on that day that the figures are changed lends 1t an un- toward prominence. This is espe- cially strange, since few people have sufficiently recovered from their festivities of the evening be- fore 10 realize that there is such q day. In fact instead of January l being considered important, it could just as well be dropped from the calendar for that that anyone knows about it.
 However. the antiquated mathe- maticians who devised our calendar placed 1t on their handiwork, and the day is seized upon as an excuse to forecast the happenings of tho succeeding 364 days. The observer feels 1t incumbent upon him to con- tradict all predictions of both op- timistic business men and pessimis- tic philosophers and to Issue his own pre- digest of the affairs of what, In this age of automobiles. may be termed the year of grease 1926.

THE NORTH END BUS DECISION

The muddle in the North End In connection with local service on the Connecticut busses. a service which has been ordered discontin- ued by the Public Utilities Con- mission, Is assuredly disconcerting to residents who desire the eX'ra service that the Connecticut busses can give. The independent line, however, was first upon the scene and the P. '. C., in deciding In favor of 1t, has merely been follow ing Its preccdcnts heretofore lald down.
 Independent busscs have been denied the privilege of competing with the Connecticut company, and in this city. as well as elsewhere, one finds stretches where indepen- dent busses parallel or use the same street occupied by trolleys' the busses are not permitted to take on or receive passengers.
 This case had to be decided upon precedents and policy, is the out come of the P. |. c. decision It will not be to the financial adNan- tage of the Connecticut company to be forced to give up the transpor- tation of local passengers on the North End bus line; and it certain lv is not to the advantage Of the nubIic to be denied the double service. So long as the r. |. C. Is going to function as the conserva- tor of transportation lines first upon tho sccno it perhaps could not do otherwise than order discontinu- ance of the local service of the Connecticut company. The P. |. t. thus is endcavoriug to conserve the interests Of the Independent line,
 But the other side of the qucs- ton. having nothing to do with conserving the interests Of any bus line, and relating 10 the interests of the public, would have called fol . continuation of the local serYicC by tho Connecticut busses, per hitting them to give the public more frequent service than the in dependent line alone has been fur nlshing This argument, we think Is sound; yet it is patently in con fict with the r. L. C.s policy 0 conserving the interest Of the line first upon the scene,
 This policy Of the P. '. c, ha prevented the establishment Q many competing bus lines in vari ous cities by denying 10 them cer tifcates of public necessity, Th' r. |. c, has held that where a, adequate Transportation line al ready exists it k unnecessary t' permit the establishment of a com peting line.
 The city should insist that th' Independent bus line give adcquat service 10 the North End, if tha is not inc case al present. R"si dents of Inc North End arc cn titled 10 the right kind ot trans portation service and if 'he Con necticut company huss"s nr" no permitted 10 help out 10 attain the clear duty Of the city is 10 & that inc indop'ni'n' compan completely fills tho requirements.

THE OBSER VER- Makes Random Observations
 On the City and Its People

hailiwck, those who adopted his regulations found themselves in hot water the minute they went away from home.
 Judge Kctt, noting tho confusion, declared that q state law should be adopted to clariry the situation. A statement by him. advocating the enactment of statute which would apply uniformly to all cities and towns, was printed in the Herald soon after New Years day. His law partner Judge E. W. AlIng. who was subsequently chosen leader of the house of representatives, con- cured in his views and when the general assembly met, a bill incor- porating the features of Judge Klett's opinions was adopted and made law, Consequently, automo- bile owners may now use new plates on the last day of the old year. While tho New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad spokcSmen are making the halls of government re- sound with remarks about service, l it would be well if attention were called 10 the lack of service in this city at an hour when it would be appreciated.
 At 610 D. m. a train leaves for Hartford, if it Is on time. Between then and S:l6 ?. m. there is q hiatus during which 1t is necessary to take q bus or trolley if one desires 10 go to the Capital City. This is q de- Cidcd inconvenience to residents who want to attend the theater or go out i to dinner in Hartford. As most Of the dinner crowd can afford auto mobiles, they are not hit, so badly. But the rank and file frequently patronize the theaters in Hartford and would appreciate train leaving at an hour which would allow them to eat their evening meal without Courting indigestion and still get them to Hartford in time for show. Railroad service has been so cur tailed during the past few years that it has almost dropped out of sight. There was d time when the trains 10 Hartford were liberally patronized That was when the fare was ten cents and the schedule was made to if the needs of the public. But the New Haven road adopted the policy of cutting service and increasing the cost as a means Of gaining greater revenue, novel way Of reasoning with the result that patronage has fallen off. As tho New Haven con. trols the Connecticut company anG the bus lines. all money received goes into the same nav, so that the public may howl until it Is hoarst and expect nothing but long speeches In return.

SCIENTISTS AND BANDfTRT

Americans interested IN the exploring work OF RoT
Chapman Andrews in Mongolia--and there are many
of the-regret near that he has had to give up his
latest expedition
It was the Andrews party thai discovered the dino
saur eggs laid in the Cob desert 100000 years ago
with the skeletons OF big lizards that laid them and
many other remarkable remains OF prehistoric lie
The scientists in the last expedition found such eV-
dences Of primitive mammals in Mongolia that they be
leve the human race originated there. They have
found fossil that regarded as the ancestors
of the California redWoods.
Mongolia is especially rich in relics Of ancient lie
because seems to be the only known body Of land on
earth that has been submerged in the for per-
hans 20 900 30000000 years and the dry climate
prevailing there for ages has aided the preserVa-
ton of fossil remains From Mongolia man may
learn more of his remote past than he ever learned
from any other region
Now all that semitic work must be stopped. And
why? Because Chinese bandits will not allow the eX-
pIoring party to enter the Cobb desert.
In this simple fact may be read the degradation OF
present day China. Those bandits are not repre-
sentative Chinese but the oldest earliest civilized and
most numerous branch Of the human race lacks power
to do such simple policing would enable scientists
TO pursue this educational quest.
not that we haven't any bandits Of our own. But
