authorities about this road.

authorities aDout tnls road.
 At the same time we indulged in axe-swinging calisthenics ourselves.
 Cooperation is needed. Let the c. of c. use a feather duster and we'll use the axe.
 The road must be improved.
 Another committee has been ap- pointed to call upon the state high way commissioner. Upon a former occasion Mir. Macdonald was the perfect icicle.
 The committee might ask the commissioner some pertinent ques- tions.
 Dealing with these state servants as if they were little tin gods on wheels is not enough.
 For instance, why is so much of the states money spent upon the Boston Post road in Fairfield county and whereabouts and so lit tie on rotten roads hereabouts?
 Why is so much state money spent on providing bridges and culverts in country towns having a total auto mobile traffic of IS cars in both directions daily and not a cent along such washboard pike like the Beach Swamp road?
 We pay our money and get noth- ing in return.
 Then, there is the Cat Hole Pass road. Nobody doubts the advisabil- ity of making a real road out of it.
 The state highway department is in favor of the plan - in about 100 years.
 It is the committees business to tell it to the highway commissioner with not so much regard for the amenities of parlor conversation.
 Perhaps the town is too Repub- lican. If there were more competi- ton to the ruling political clique in this bailiwck there is a likelihood that more would be done about the road racket.
 Everybody may not agree to this; but then, this is a free country.
 Anyway, when the committee takes another smack at this thing let it hit hard and accurately.
 The rirefutable facts and data should be prepared with care and made as strong as the brief of a winning lawyer.
 That much said, let's act wisely and well.
 Bristol and Pennington are con. graduating themselves upon two contracts recently awarded. The contracts will result in construction of three miles of state aid road from Bristol to Pennington road that Bristol has desired for a long time - and the construction of an underpass south of the Farming ton depot to eliminate the grade crossing on the scotts Swamp road between Bristol and Pennington.
 How did it come about that Bristol and Pennington got this attention? Simply by keeping ever lastingly at it.
 To Lester G. Sigourney, Republi- can town committee chairman in Bristol, goes much of the credit.
 He didn't only have one interview with Mir. Macdonald, but many of them.
 He stuck to the job like the New Britain committee should have done; how they've got to do if there is to be any action about the Berlin | washboard.
 sigourney didn't even need a committee: he went himself and | talked like a Morse sounder. That's the way 10 get results.

MAKE TRUCK DRIVERS EXERCISE CAUTION

Everything IS Delng eSuldteu around the Center except the trucks.
 The average truck driver fears nothing - not even the police.
 He knows he has a ponderous, heavy machine at his disposal and likewise knows that if he happens to collide with an ordinary auto mobile he is perfectly safe.
 That's why they swing around the Center with 8 speed that terri hes all mere pleasure car drivers and stirs the latter to frenzied ef- forts to give them a wide berth.
 There have been a plenitude of policemen holding watch around the Center of late.
 If any of these policemen want to make a hit with the public, let them stop the truck nuisance; let them arrest a few of these reckless driv- CTS.
 Judge filling said the other day that reckless driving largely de- pended upon the conditions.
 The conditions around the Center are opposed to fast driving by trucks.
 And when trucks take the turns twice as fast as any autoist in his right mind would take them well leave 1t to any amateur Solomon if that does not constitute reckless driving.
 Owners of trucks are deeply Erieved over the fact they are los ing popularity.
 What the owners need to do is to exercise more control over the drivers they employ.
 Trucks figure in and cause more accidents on percentage basis than all other vehicles in the state com bined.
 Their huge. unwiedy bulk clut- ters up the highways, forcing others to assume the risks of pass ing out of line to get ahead of them.
 But when they make a nuisance of themselves upon the most con- gested of downtown streets it is time for the police to step in and show them their place,
 There has been talk in the city Of a more serious regulation of truck traffic; talk of barring them from some streets and keeping them on others.
 The talk has been good and 10 the point. but the energetic traf- fic regulators and the energetic ordinance committee and all the other energetic gentlemen having a hand in the discussion don't seem to get any further than just talking.
 IL is time to quit talking and do something about it.
 A ss s beginning could be made by the chief of police himself, Let him pass the word to the traffic police to make a special effort 10 hold down the truck drivers.
 Arrest them. if necessary; not as a last recourse, but the instant they make a fool Of themselves, Of auto ists, and the public generally.
 Some of the truck drivers act as If they have pull with the city T. is time to prove the falsiry Of any such possible misappreheusion.
 II makes no difference who owns the truck; whether if is owned by q pet contractor, a pet firm, pet institution, or is doing work for the city,
 Make them stop insulting the city by reckless driving, at the Centpr and elsewhere.

Still. the farmers are not satis- fled. Instead of being grateful, as when a congressman in the old days sent them bag of free seeds. they are still inclined to grumble about grain prices, hog prices, cat tie prices and the prices in town.
 A responsive government is furnishing them with reading mat ter by the ton; yet they jump in their flivvers and go the nearest town to attend the movies instead of sitting quietly at home, reading the government dope and thus inn proving their minds.
 Sometimes they visit town so often that they decide to stay, thus elud- ing the market for government books on farming,

Persistent coughs and colds lead to
serious trouble. You can stop them
now with Creomulsion, an emulsifed
creosote that is pleasant to take. Creo-
mulsion is new, medical discovery
with two-fold action; it soothes and
heals the infiamed membranes and in
hibits germ growth.
OF all known drugs, creosote is rec
ognized by high medical authorities as
one Of the greatest healing agencies for
persistent coughs and colds and other
forms of throat troubles. Creomulsion
contains, III addition to creosote, other
healing elements which soothe and heal
the infected membranes and stop the
irritation and inflammation, while the
creosote goes ON to the stomach, is alb
sorbed into the blood, attacks the seat
of the trouble and checks the growth
Of the germs.
Creomulsion is guaranteed satisfac-
tory in the treatment Of persistent
coughs and colds, bronchial asthma,
bronchitis and other forms of respira-
tory diseases, and is excellent for build
ing up the system after colds or flu.
