"BACK IN 1794 THE LAW SAID"

Get enough law on the statute books and in the course of time it will be easier to run .afoul of the law" than disohey a traffic cop.
 It was foregone conclusion in Pennsylvania that if the law books were thumbed long enough some law could be found to close the Sesquicentennial Exposition on Sundays.
 The statute of 1794, which was found applicable to the case, has now been revived; or at least, will be if the. decision of the lower court is not upset by a higher tri- bunal.
 The 1794 law also prohibits base ball on Sunday - regardless ot whether an admission is charged.
 Fortunately 1t doesn't prohibit automobile riding on Sunday be- cause in 1794 there were no such contraptions. It is indeed fortunate for Pennsylvania that Henry Ford did not live at the time of the Revolutionary war

BACK TO LOR1N1ER'
 IS POSSIBLE

Illinois is earliest of the states having direct primaries to make a serious effort to return to the "by- gone days of party conventions and party bosses" as the Assocl- ated Press dispatch from Chicago pungently put it.
 The legal attack made upon the law at Dixon, H., having been sustained by three judges of the circuit court of Lee county, now goes before the state Supreme court, but no final decision can be expected before October.
 Such are the facts so far. The historic facts are also to be con- sidered.
 The primary law in Illinois has been operative since 1910. If you have a good memory you will know that shortly before the law was passed there was nice juicy scandal in Illinois, involving one Lorimer.
 Whether the present direct pri- 'mary has led to anything worse may be a matter of opinion, but the "Lorimer scandal' was no Sunday school picnic.

POOR READING FACILITIES
 ON BUSSES

There is one thing about bus rid ing that knocks the average indi- vidual cold, provided he is of the class who likes to do a little read ing with his riding.
 The person who can read In a bus along the average street or highway especially such high ways like the washboard pike to Berlin - has never ben born.
 The gbusses shake too much for reading purposes. And at night, realizing that cash customers can not read anyhow, there is not suf- ficient light for any such purpose. On long distance busses the lights usually are turned down low, evil dently in the interest of economy.
 The trolley cars remain much the better adapted for reading pur- poses, and as they have plenty Of juice on tap for the purpose, they are we'll lighted at night.

Observation On The Weather

Washington, Aug. 13.-Forecast for Southern New England: Prob ably showers tonight and Saturday,; not much change in temperature moderate southwest winds.
 Forecast for Eastern New York: Partly cloudy tonight and Saturday; probably showers in south portion; {; slightly cooler in north portion to- night; moderate to fresh southwest winds.
 Conditions: The disturbance which was central over Mississippi yesterday morning moved rapidly northeastward and is now central over Ontario.
 It caused unsettled weather with local showers from Oklahoma northeastward to Maine. Several places reported more than an inch of rain. The greatest amount was 450 inches at New York city. Warm, muggy weather continues in the eastern portion of the lake region and New England. An area of high pressure central over AL berta is producing pleasant weather with low temperatures in the west ern districts.
 Conditions favor for this vicinity unsettled weather followed by clear and cooler.

ONE OF OUR MOST OPTIMISTIC MEN

General Lincoln c. Andrews, pro hibition chief, continues optimistic. Rum row. he now repeats, faces immediate extinction" as a result of the gentleman's agreement he negotiated in England.
 Trouble is he said about the same thing a year ago when utiliz- ing the coast guard as champion rum chasers.
 He may be justified in his opin- ion about rum row--advices from Che front indicate there has really been a lessening of the pressure on that littoral
 But so long as the Canadian border rum situation remains the way 1t is General Andrews will have plenty of opportunity to keep busy.

RE KIND TO CLERKS MAKES SHOPPING EASY

Being kind and courteous 10 clerks is one of the distinctive marks Of a lady or gentleman. The person who will be grabbed and irritable while making purchases, venting his splen upon clerks who by the nature of their calling are not in a position to speak their minds. is one of the most petty of human traits.
 Clerks appreciate good-natured customers, the person who win yield laugh rather than exude a fro~n They are human beings and want and need the same kind of human treatment that customers prefer b receive.
 And when shopping is carried out in spirit Of good humor what a satisfactory experience is becomes.

NEW JERSEY DIyoRCEs

Trenton, N. J., Aug. 13.-An in- crease jn marriages and divorces in New Jersey in 1925 was reported in a statement made public yesterday by the department of vital statistics.
 The number of marriages in the state increased from 27,601 in 1924 to 27,672 in 1925. Divorces in creased from 2,O00 in 1924 to 2,3SS in 1925.
 The estimated population of New Jersey on July 1, 1925. was 3,599.- sos. On July 1. 1924, it was B. 522,440. ..-
 On the basis of these estimates. the United States department of commerce figures that the number of marriages per 1000 of population was 7.69 in 1925, against 7.S4 in 1924, and the number of divorces per 1000 of population was 0.65, as against 0.57 in 1924.
 Salem and Somerset counties set the record for increase in divorces, both showing more than twice as many in 1925 as in 1924.

George Hume, Garfield Hume, and Martha Ward were chosen alter mates.
 The North & Judd molders, who hae been on a lockout for some five or six weeks, received check from national headquarters today. through Secretary Russell of the local union. for S2,086. This is their second check since the begin ming of the lockout, the first having been for $1.446.
 Brown derbies for fall wear now ready.
 The special committee appointed to audit the city collectors books had its first hearing in the city clerks office last night. Auditor Leupold presented a report, and r. J. Stearns called his attention to the fact that the books had apparently been altered since the examination began.
 Nathan Silverman of Hartford came to town this morning and drove down Hartford avenue selling potatoes at 35 cents a peck, when all other peddlers were asking 45 cents. Three others joined forces and rushed him, but he lashed his horse and escaped. The others fol- lowed, selling at 25 cents, and Sil- verman cut to 20 cents, whereupon another attack was tried. Again Silverman made good his getaway and headed for the southern part of the city with fine prospects of a still further cut and of free-for- all.
 James Desmond, the electric lamp trimmer was bitten by dog on South Main street today.
 MT. and Mrs. John Fenton of Lincoln street have gone to Madi- son for two weeks.
 The local Foresters are not in a very happy mood today, especially in regard to the railroad. They had organized an excursion to Savin Rock for next Tuesday, and now the railroad has not only got up one of it's own but has cut the Foresters prices by ten jer cent.
 Ex-Judge F. B. Hungerford was riding his bicycle up West Main street yesterday afternoon and when he reached the corner of Washing ton street he collided with a team and was thrown into the gutter. He was uninjured and after a few minutes proceeded on his way.

hROUTING TRAFFIC WITH \ POEM

4 committee of the city council and the chamber of commerce in Lynn, Mass, got together recently and formulated an imposing array of new traffic regulations, resulting in one-way streets, nonstop zones and no- parking areas.
 But the entire mess was wiped clean off the slate when one poeti- cal citizen wrote the following squib, had 1t printed on cards. and distributed them around the city: Show me the way 10 go home; I'm tired out and l want to go
 to bed
 started from the office an hour
 ago.
 But the traffic's gone 10 my
 head.
 Through the one-way streets I
 roam:
 Each sign gives me a groan. You hear my horn - it's footing
 this song:
 Show me the way 10 so home.

THE ATTEMPT TO SAVE"
 WHITTENIORE

The Negro attorney who went from Baltimore to Beverly Farms, Mass, for a personal interview with Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes in connection with an attempt to save the super-ban- dit, Richard Reese Whittemore, from being executed, evidently made a legitimate effort in behalf of his client. To bring such mat ter to the attention of U. S su- preme court justice was so un- usual as to attract nationwide at tention. Of it's futility there was no doubt from the start.
 There can be no question that Whittemore was one of the most desperate crooks and murderers of the age. He got fair trial in state that takes much justifable pride in it's judicial procedure; his crimes were legion; and the par ticular crime for which he paid the death penalty = that of killing a guard while escaping from the Maryland penitentiary = was of the sort around which not the slightest doubt existed
 Yet the hard fight" to save Whittemores life made by counsel and friends tended to put him up as sort of cornered creature fighting a last battle with an in exorable conqueror, the law; and as in most such instances, consid- erable sympathy accumulated in his favor.
 That is the trouble with capital punishment. Not only are juries becoming increasingly unwilling to convict of first degree murder eX- cept where the notoriety of the bandit impels it, but after each such conviction there is a hullaba- loo made before the trap is sprung or the electric switch is turned on
 Numerous commentators have pointed out that life imprisonment for all murderers, without possibil- ity of pardon or parole, would be fit substitute and would result in many more convictions of crooks who in some states, like New York, are freed upon convenient techni- calities.
 But before that time comes par don and parole laws must not ap- ply to first degree murderers in any state.

FLOODED STREETS

During rain such as deluged New Britain yesterday there are streets, usually at intersections or at the bottom of hills, where the city storm sewer system is made ouate. There are two such places on Hartford avenue. another on West Main, on Broad street, Church street, and elsewhere.
 City officials might with profit investigate the conditions that cause foot or more of water to accumulate at some of these places with view toward making satis- factory improvements at some flu ture time, If possible.

HUMAN FLY GOING
 ID TRY EUROPE
Will Take SteepeSt Steeples
 Overseas

New York, Aug. IS P-Johnny Meyer, who calls himself "the | human fly of America" will sail for Europe next Tuesday to begin two-year campaign against the tall- est steeples and most difficult build | ings there. He has already con- quered the best-known buildings in the United States, including the | Woolworth building and the tower of the Chicago Tribune, he says and now he is determined to seek worldwide fame.
 T will climb them all, the Kaiser schloss in Berlin, the dome of St. Benedict's in Paris. the highest | buildings in Russia, Italy, Germany, France and England" he said yes terday 'They have some beautiful taal steeples in England" he added, with an anticipatory gleam in his eyes.
 Then I will be world famous. I will return to New York, l will climb the Woolworth building again and everywhere I go people will point me out. I can sell nerve tonic and my picture then for the rest Of my life and I will tell people. See, I used this nerve tonic and I wasn't afraid of anything
 Its all in the mind. You go down to the Woolworth building and look up at it and you will think
 No one can ever climb that But I said to myself, You climb that and you will be famous. You are the only one in the whole world that can do it. And I did it.
 "Only once have I ever fallen. In Cleveland I was cleaning a smoke stack and I hooked my belt on a rusty bolt in the stack. It broke and I fell 50 feet to the roof. Thank Heaven! The roof was rotten, and I went on through to. the coal strike. I still have three holes in my stom- ach from that. ~.
 But it's a better game than prize fighting. I used to be boxer before I was a human fly. I didn't know how to fight, but was a good catcher. I could catch all the punches of good boxer. Then l went in the army. I was welter- weight champion of Camp Meade for three years, 1920-192S.
 When I got out I was broke. went to the Blackstone hotel in Chicago. I told the manager l would climb his fiagpole for s25. I wanted to eat, So did it. But it was a $50 flagpole. Since then Eve climbed buildings everywhere. In St. Louis, Benny Fox, another hu- man fly, and I played tennis on the wings of an airplane. Of course. we didn't really play tennis. But we stood on the wings and pretended we played. After that everybody followed me. But when I come back from Europe I will be more famous than I was then"
