REGRET THAT CONLON
 QUITS HIS JOB

Frank L. Conlon's name ha' been much in the public prints since he became chairman of the board of public works. He was an astute, ambitious and energetic civic servant. and it is to be re- eretted that he has seen fit to re- sign.
 One of the mean angles of our political system is that when ne" city administration gets into power a general shakeup - sometimes voluntary, and sometimes directly or indirectly involuntary - upsels the even running of departments. Changes made under such circum- stances are sometimes of doubltuI value. It probably will be difficult to find a man better fitted for the position of chairman of the pubic works commission, If Mayor Weld finds q man just as good he will be doing well.

NO BUILDINGS MINUS PERMITS

Putting up buildings without permits in New Britain is being discouraged, and the public will gratefully accede that Deputy In spector A. N. Rutherford is doing his duty in the campaign to eiimi- nate this lackadaisical method Of not taking enough time to conform to the law.
 How ingrained the system has been in this city can be judged from the refusal of workmen to cease operations upon building until the police were called.
 The issue is whether the city or the building contractors are to run the building department.

 A. In diamond cutting the opera tions are performed with the single object of producing the most valu- able gem from a crude stone.

The diamond Is cemented to a wooden holder and q steel blade is applied in a direction parallel 10 an oCtahedral face. The next process brings out the facets. Two rough stones fixed at the end of holders, are held in either hand of the operator, who presses them against each other at the same time giving q rubbing motion. The friC- ton wears away the surfaces grad ually until they coincide in position to two of the facets, The diamond is then cemented In a new position and the operation is continued. The waste particles of dust are collected and used in the final process of pol ishing for which a small disk of spongy cast-iron turning at the rate of 2000 10 5000 revolutions per min- ute is employed.

SENSATIONAL CRIME
 IN CHICAGO

AA NiAANshA'
 There are more killers al large in tho United States than there arc police, and Chicago harbors moro than Its share of such bandits with murder on their conscience,
 There are 1S5,oo0 persons ot large in the United States who have unlaWfully taken human life, they go about unpunishcd and un- afraid, walk tho same streets with honest men, are met motoring along the highways, stay at thc same hotels, eat at the same res taurants. And there are a larger proportion in Chicago than in any other American city,
 Against the t35,o00 murderers al large there are approximately S5,. 0o0 policemen in the co1ntry - this according 10 Robert T. Bush- nell, assistant district attorney of Wddlosex county Massachusetts, l. would be interesting 10 know whether there are as many police men In Chicago as there arc gun men,
 Chicago recently felt the stigma of It's crime so severely that it asked the federal government for help. But the federal government is not inclined to assist a munich pality to do its duty except to help enforce the 18th amendment.
 According to the statisticians the depredations of the American un- derworld costs the honest 9S per cent of the citizenship twelve times as much annually as the cost of the army and navy combined.
 The climax of Chicago banditry was reached with the assassination of Assistant Prosecutor McSwiggin and two friends with q machine gun. It was one of the most sensa- tional episodes in American crimi- nal annals.
 A machine gun was placed in an automobile, and as the warlike conveyance passed through nu- merous streets not a policeman or a citizen was sufficiently alert to take note of the conveyance and the mounted gun!
 With the armament primed for action the automobile occupied by the assistant prosecutor and two friends was spied. Shots spattered it, the three lives were snuffed out and the criminals escaped. as usual in Chicago.
 This is warfare against society. If the underworld of the Windy City can successfully mount a ma chine gun in it's war against the police and officials, what is to pre- vent it from using armored cars, armed aeroplanes or even cannon? Anything seems possible in Chi cago.
 The answer of society must be warfare without quarter. A way must be found to conquer the heartless and cruel butchers of their fellow human beings. Per haps it was d mistake when the government refused to help clean up the Chicago killers, It has become manifest that the police of that city are utterly incapable of squelch1ng the crime element.
 If a riot got beyond control in that city and the state found it. self powerless, the federal govern mcnt would help quickly The situation in Chicago is worse than 6 riot but the casualties are spread over a longer period of time.
