The time should not be far dis tant when the entire Central traffic business. relating to both trolley cars and busses. will have 10 be revamped. The fact that the com panies always used the Center as a free terminal means nothing to the city at this late day. The space was permitted 10 be used through suf- fcrancc at q time when it made no particular difference; at a time when space was not so much at a premium. Conditions have changed; the old policy Of giving the com ranics free terminal space upon city streets no longer holds good in the public interest.

RRT1ND,S TENTH CABINET

Premier Briand Of France has marched up another hill, and will not march down again for some little time. On nine previous occa- sions he marched up tho slopes Of ministerial heights, only to march down again in discontinue and dis appointment. Just now he faces hard tussle at the top of the emi- nonce - a battle with the franc and is inclined to give inc country the best that is in him in the en- daavor to bring a scmblance of order out of the financial chaos
 In rIancing over the names in his new cabinet one finds goodIy pronortion of the old warhorses of French politics. Experienced states men in France seem to stay on the iob in one way or another for long time: if one cabinet falls they can always bark upon getting a different portfolio in the succeeding cabinet. In this manner French statesman becomes experienced ill virtually every department Of inc government if he sticks with the cabinets long enough. A man can be minister of justice, Of finance of war, of foreign affairs, and even premier - all within a ridiculously short space of time.
 One hears much of the frequent changes of cabinets in France. In a. sense this is a misconcepton. The cabinets do not differ greatly very often; the statesmen merely swap jobs. And then everything goes topsy-turvy until the next spill, when they all return to the state automobile but occupy different seats.

NEW IDEAS FOR OLD
IN TRAFFIC

The ordinance committee of the Common Council, after appropriate hearings and much tribulation, has finally come to the conclusion that the way to walk is to begin crawl ing; and so we find start being made in trying out tho 1926 vim tage of new traffic regulations. A weeks trial of the new regulations, according to plan, should furnish much valuable experience, especial Iy as there is a plethora of mo left turns in the new regulations. The intention is to discourage traf- ic from making unnecessary trips through the Center or contiguous streets, and 1t is held by those ia voring the scheme that the idea is sound. How it works out in prac- tice will be known to better ad- vantage week hence, when amendments based on the weeks experience will be in order. If the plan proves successful in all par ticulars during that time, of course, there should be no hesitation to continue the system.
 Merchants north of the railroad tracks have a vital interest in the matter, and without doubt they are entitled to the most serious consid- eration. They also will know within a week whether their fears in con- nection with the changes are justi- fled, although it may take longer than a week 10 determine such re- suits definitely. There seems to be a suspicion extant in the city hall that merchants as a rule become unduly alarmed over the prospect Of traffic changes, and it is pointed out that at no time in the recent past have such fears been justified by the results of such changes as were made. IL is therefore natural to think that the same outcome will come from the current changes; but regardless of such possibilities, the commercial inter ests are entitled to every considera- ton within reason, and the public as well.
 The new regulations starting Monday are experimental, thus dis arming alarm that anything found to be detrimental to the interests of the public and commerce will continue in effect permanently. If more time is needed to judge the value of the new rules there should be no hesitation 10 extend the OK perimcntal period.

AMnITIOIs cIrY rLNNNING

Again city planning; This time in Hartford. It is only a plan, with a few millions in costs attached. l., may never be executed. In truth. the probabilities are it will be for gotten, like one or two other am bilious plans which came, failed to conquer, and departed.
 The plan of Herbert g, Swan would widen and extend about dozen streets. build now bridges. construct a boulevard around Bush neu park, shove Washington street through the park. and do such things to the landscape as would cause a native Iiar'fordite not to recognize his city if he went away until the noise was over and the money all spent It appears, how ever, that the swan plan was not the first 10 startle the city. About 15 years ago John M. Carrere did some highnung and extensive plan ming. and construction of new bridge over the Connecticut has been suggested from time to time. But Hartford moves slowly: Plans are plans and money is money, and so long as they cannot be separated, there will be nothing doing"
 Anybody can draw up a city plan costing millions of money, re- marks the contemporaneous Hart ford Times. A keen-witted layman, with some knowledge of local con- ditions, could make a very fine ef- fort at raging buildings, widening and extending streets, and the like. It is recalled in this connection that Napoleon once did some large and fancy planning in Paris, and the results are manifest to this day; and they were Napoleon's s plans, not the plans of some fancy priced planning engineer. Give any man $20,0O0,00O to spend and he could turn Hartford inside out, or outside in, whichever way is best. But-and here we quote the Times l for @ sentence - the difficulty lies in convincing the taxpayers that they should pay the heavy cost of such undertakings" This statement comes under the category of among the wisost words ever enunciatcd in planning discussion.
 Convince the taxpayers. Some day it may be done, but it will be a new set of taxpayers.

An answer on Civil War Pension
-NJN DI IIIITTTf O 1I7~ "-' \Ir. Editor, Herald:


 New Britain, June 22, 1926
 Afr. Editor, Herald: Q.-Was the pension 10 Civil War Veterans and their widows increased by the present congress?
 I would like to answer that ques- ton for the benefit of the person who asked it in Monday evening 8 Herald.
 The answer is, No" There Is a bill pending in the House of Repre- sentatiyes to increase the pensions of the veterans and widows.
 The Hon. John Q, Tilson, con- grcssman from this state, and a congressman from Illinois have so far prevented the bill from being brought up for consideration.
 NIr. Tilson is the Republican floor leader of the house. and, 1 think chairman of the Invalid Pension Committee of the House.
 Our Honorable President is oppos- ed to an increase of pensions, as he has already vetoed two bills that were passed.
 Tho President and Mir. Tilson are very close friends. Mr. Tison has a brother, living in Georgia. The president wants 10 appoint said brother to a judgcship in that state.
 l will leave it to the questioner, and friends of the Civil War Neter- ans and their widows to draw their own conclusions.

DANGEROUS HUSBANDS

Now we have it upon the au- thority of Jersey City judge that the dangerous years for husbands come when they are between 50 and GO. At this period of life, the judge ruminatcs from his fund of eX- pcricnce and wisdom, husbands are most likely to become enamored of much younger women. This is the time of life when they have made their little pile - at least, some of them have - take @ look at the world and all the femininity in it., and conclude if there are going to be any high-iinks before the 1ina. stygian curtain falls, the time is now or never. The judge, Of course, does not mean to imply that all husbands tire of their hclpmatos at this age: he refers only to some of them - small minority - yet in the aggregate they form sufficient of a total to figure in the courts now and then
 Various sob sisters have written articles by inc ton addressed to women. and with the general title, "fIow to hold your husband though married" Especially is this advice applicable. it appears to the wife of around 5o. who has lived a hap pv existence with friend hubby for about a quarter of a century. only 10 0ad Eo has developed a good .yoH2m where other women arc concerned. Ask any wife and she cn readily reply how such can ,aua.rous mon should be trralo2: and a= for 'he "tatr and younger r.em,u, ~HcU pro'rudes itself 'o cause sncb trouble. she likewise will have au answer ready. Yet lHara is more seriousness than W- nor in tho situation, else the topic would not figure in so many arti- claa of advice. nor be inc motif of SD many stories and plays. Ey"
 since literature dawnod 10 bless the human race the subject Of 'thc
 other woman" has tracked in and ont of stories; many stories arc moi considered complete without some
 body trying to steal another's hus- band, or another's wife. Life seems 10 be made up of such little incon- l ycuionces, one after the other.
 Our advice 10 mon between 5o and Co is 10 sit on the front porch and watch the world go by with out trying to play tho fool. The saying "tbore is no fool like an old fool will hold good to the end oi
