government per head of population in New Britain.
 It is Louis Seibold, an expert in such things, who has figured the cost of crime in the United States at more than ten billions of dollars-or more than s33 per capita for the entire population.
 Crime costs money-more money than local government in New Britain. It is when the costs of evil are figured in dollars that some folk who otherwise are complacent about it may take notice. That is why Seibold got down to bed rock and translated the crime record into monetary outlay.
 The mental echo is overwhelming: Crime has got to be reduced or entirely eliminated" Which is abso- lutely correct.
 The only way to bring this about is certain punishment and plenty of it.

CHANGING STREET NAMES WITHIN THE CITY

Changing the names or streets which have long gone under certain nomenclatures is one of those little things that try mems souls-par- ticularly the officials having the matter in charge and the residents of thoroughfares which may have no particular reason for being known by a certain name except years of custom.
 There may be dozens of streets within the city whose names are not sufficiently distinctive to suit the post office department and the pub lie at large. To change them to more suitable names, however. is not to be done haphazardly, nor without deep thought.
 Thus we find that when the. mat ter was brought up before the civic committee having the matter before it that there were some strenuous objections to a few of the proposed changes.
 But it is not to be overlooked that of the 30 changes proposed at the first committee meeting there were serious objections to only four. This is a good percentage of conformity.
 Unfortunately several of the most important changes elicited objec- tions, It perhaps Is unnecessary 10 go through the list. Citing of one ex- ample will be sufficient to illustrate the general principle.
 Corbin avenue leads directly into Jerome street. Both are names that have long been identified with both streets; yet it seems illogical that two streets, which are combinations of one another. should suddenly take on different names.
 The plan 10 change this, however, meets with objection. The principle that a straightaway street should not have two different names, how ever, might with logic be applied to such an instance, and it perhaps is no bad advice for those most di- rectly interested 10 come to an agreement for the general benefit of the public and the people who will live here in years to come, who will suffer from such violations of logical street names more so than we do today. Confusion increases with the growth of population and the upbuilding of the sections af- fected
 In the case of most of the propos- ed street name changes there ap- pears to be no objection. They simply will have to be changed to prevent mail mixups and as an aid to the certain receipt of telegraphic messages. When important letters and telegrams threaten 10 go astray | because streets, lanes, courts, places i etc, have the same name there is nothing 10 do about 1t but bring a semblance Of order out of the chaos

In the country which owes great
deal of it's fame
To the fact that its fruit grows in

But we're bound to admit that the

And his name will go down through
the years,
While the writer's of history pause to
observe
How his wrench plaid the deuce with
the gears.
When half of the statesmen of half
of the world
Watched the wheels turn, well oiled
and serene,
This person walked up and disdain-
fully hurled
His implement in the machine.
In spite of their protests, in spite of
their pleas
And of all the Importance of them,
He tossed in his wrenches with
And the cogs ceased revolving-pro-

Or the pros and the cons of the
