FIVE NEW POLICEMEN

If all things go as well as Chief Hart expects, five new members of the police department will be ap- pointed by the board of police com- missioners tonight. How long it has taken to reach this important step in the annals Of the police depart ment is one of the mysteries ot civic functioning. For years the chief has insisted more policemen are necessary: for an equal length of time there was a denial Of his petition. until last year the powers that be found 8 way 10 spare enough money to permit five new members Of the force to be author ized. Things have worried along un- til the present time; the additional police are expected 10 be added this week. Even that is not cer- tain, as the board of commission CTS may not agree upon some minor points and the appointments may be delayed.
 With the addition of the five ad- ditional bluecoats. the city by no means will be over- -policed. Con- pared with most other cities it will be under-policed. Such as We have, however, are efficient.

Broken Glass Menace
 To Highway Traffic

Hartford, June As 9 result of a number Of complaints, the state highway department in statement made public today called the atten- ton Of motorists to the menace that exists to highway traffic in the great amount of broken glass frequently found on the roads. Due largely to collisions and also falling glass from headlights, etc, the maintenance section of the highway department has been on the watch for these conditions, but it has bcon found that if is not always possible to keep the roads entirely free from the glass.
 The cooperation of motorists is asked 10 relieve the situation. and it is believed that conditions will be greatly improved if autoists whose cars arc involved in accidents Of this sort will take the trouble them selves 10 remove the broken glass from the highways before traffic spreads tho material over the road. Much needless damage to tires has hcon caused in this way. it is pointed Ouf

AND HE DID. By Louise CondOn

If was midnight, and Moses Washington shuddered as he rcach- ed the crossroads. On the other side of that white fence was the grave yard. Moses walked ahead briskly, trying to whistle lively tune.
 Suddenly he was paralyzed by a familiar yoice--the voice of his Uncle Pete. long since dead. A spec ter stood before him, waving it's long arms in the wind with a horrid ghostly melancholy. "Who dat?" quavered Moses.
 "Ah am yo' Uncle Pete, an An craves talk with you"
 "Ah ain't in no mood foh talkip'. " Nose trembled. How does An know you is nah Uncle Pete-you don't look like him"
 "Ah am only de spirit ob your Uncle Pete" said the ghost in an awful voice. Nah body has long since been dust"
 "Uh. huh" Nose yelled. An be- lieve me, Mistah Spirit, An is goin' to show you some more dust, right now!"

 Measles and whopping cough have bean particularly prevalent this spring. Most of the latter is regarded as Of a mild type per haps resulting in fewer safeguards against contagion. Reports have been current that in a few cases no quarantine cards were placed upon homes where the disease abided

25 Fears Ago Today

There was a special praise service at the Center church last evening. It was the last praise service until September and was under the di- rection of Prof. F.. F. Laubin.
 When the auditor began 10 go over the collectors books today he found in a crack at the back of the safe a check for $247 which had been there for some time and evi- dentiy partly accounts for the mix up. Up to date it is said that the experts have found the city owes the former collector $30.
 The school board met last evening and decided to open school on Sep tember 10 instead of the Srd. Mir. Andrews asked how the extra week could be made up and was told by Mir, Hubbard that it would be by ex- tending the closing date in June by tn same period,
 Marshal A. l.. Thompson has is sued his orders for the Odd Fellows Memorial Sunday. The assistant marsha1s will be F, Hurlburt, Charles Dehm, Capt. $. F. Magson and John B. Brink. Capt. J. r. Woods is marshal for the Foresters who will march behind the Phil harmonic band.
 Frank Pinches has returned from Tusaloo university where for the past year he has filled the post of in- structor in manual training.
 When the cook in Fred Beloin's restaurant was out Of the kitchen for a few minutes this morning someone stole a large cooked ham from the table. Officer Cosgrove found the ham under carriage top in the rear Of the railroad arcade. There was big hole in the ham where the thief had eaten it.
 Judging from the application of the police board that the super numerary force be increased from 80 to 80, it would seem necessary that a large training school for officers be established This would give the candidates for the regular force more training and better it them for regular duty than spasmodic super nmcrnry work. A large body of extras would also furnish Chief Rawlings with reserve supply on which to draw in case of emergency.
 The bolt from F, w. Schultz to Albert Norton in the council the other night when the vote for city collector was taken was laid by many to Alderman Curtis.

rules about motoring, chaos would result; motorists from other cities passing through and only stopping Ions enough to get sandwich or an ie~ cream sundae -- if such in- nocuous things are on sale in Wa terbury wouldn't know how to turn or upon which particular boulevard to ride in the frenzied effort to avoid being smashed ID by trucks from the brass found ries," Mir. stoeckel thinks, in ef- fect--but not out loud.
 Mir Stoeckel is right, as he usual ly is, This idea of speeding up traf- tic along the downtown boulevards is q fetich that doesn't work to the advantage of anyone except the un- dertakers and the bone-setters. Cleveland was the first city 10 try it and had to give it up because there wasn't enough room in the hospitals and 1t was too much ot a municipal expense to construct twice as many as the city happened 10 have, As for the harassed mo- torists, they speedily came to the conclusion it is better to get to their destinations alive but al a slower tempo than to land in a ward or be a fit subject for the kindly ministrations of a solemn man in black.
 Fact is, officials by the time they have been on the job long enough, will realize that there is no possi- bility of solving downtown traffic situations by any short cut meth ods. Anotherf act bulging out is there are not enough streets and none wide enough 10 accommodate the flood of autosts when the of hcial statistics show one car for every four inhabitants - an inun- dation that the motor manufac- turers threaten Us with within q few years. For a city like New Britain, with 10000 people, that would mean 17.500 automobiles. If you have become rusty at figuring, let sonny at school sharpen his lead pencil and tell you how much space they would occupy if all were out at the same time; and then by way Of mental exercise try to To- cate sufficient space downtown for them. It can't be done short of eliminating all the downtown build ings and having space several square miles wide instead.
 The time will come when the only satisfactory automobiling on tap will be to roll right into the country. carefully avoiding the downtown melee. And in the coun- try, tell it to Commissioner Mac Donald, there will be need Of three times as many fancy highways as We have at present.
