MY FAEORITE SEASON 4 Personal Preference Diyulged

To Sunny
 By Hers-To- Command Some folks I know like Winters
 snow And sunshine on the icy trees. I hate such scenes! To me it means Hard colds, with racking cough and
 snee2e. And there are those, in verse and
 prose. Who sing the praise of dear old
 Spring; But Springtime days and springtime
 haze To me no special pleasure bring. You cannot beat the Summer heat In the opinion of most folks; In cars they ride both far and wide To loll beneath the pines and oaks; Or on the beach, with spueal and
 scheeCh, They play in very skinny suits; And that is fine, l do opine, Especially as some are beauts, But after all give me the Fall When Nature seems to paint the
 hills In Colors rare beyond compare: It is one of the grandest thrills, And, Sunny dear, Fall of the year Keeps in my mem'ry ever new That other fall, the best of all The time, dear, that l fell for you!

 The taxicabs, therefore, in order to serve the majority Of their GUS toners, do not need to clutter up the downtown streets with stands" Their best method would be to park on private property, either their own or by arrange ment with others.
 A taxicab is ready for business wherever telephone reaches. Where they are parked between calls is a detail that should not infringe upon the city's rights upon it's streets: and in order to gain good will their owners should be willing to make their conveyances as inconspicuous as possible, and not attempt to protrude them selves upon important public streets where they are not wanted, and where ahutting property own CTS would be justified In taking of fense.

A CONSPICUOUS AIRPLANE
 DISASTER

When an airplane is so staunch- lv constructed as to warrant expec- tations of ability to fly across the Atlantic it is quite a shock to find it unable to get off the ground without disaster.
 That is what happened to the huge Sikorsky plane which was to take Captain Rene Fonck, French ace, Lieutenant Lawrence w, Cur tin. U. S. N., alternate pilot and crew from New York to Paris.
 Thus what was to have been an epic voyage ended in tragedy at the very beginning. Instead Of sec ing a graceful ascent the 1'ooo persons looking on were horrlhed to see the enormous seagull burst into flames.
 The wherefore of this failure can only be gauged from the words 
 of the survivors, and unfortunate 1v tbev had to act so quickly Tn order to escape the inferno that their supposition as to what nap nened may not be complete Every ,,,ing happened in the twinkling ot an eye.
 That there was some degree of muddling in this grand attempt to make a nonstop flight across the Atlantic will be a widely held yer dict although it may be an entire- lv erroneous conclusion. Possipiy tbare was an overreaching toward advertisement and glory. with one or two details not entirely pro- yided for.
 But whatever one concludes Il should not be overlooked that nlhe- tonths of the airplane accidents oc- cur when the plane is not far re- moved from the earth - either during the getaway or in landing When a plane is high aloft II 's comparatively safe.

Kearns, his former manager. And the little charges and counter charges. with their pointed inuen- does. form nearly as interesting reading as the preliminary dope" about the coming fight.
 It is to be hoped the thought that Mir. Kearns somehow got a wad of $500,Oo0 belonging to Mir. Dempsey, and the thought Mir. Kearns was formerly graduated from a prison. and the additional thought MT. Kearns did not like Mir. Dempsey's matrimonial ven- ture with "one Estelle Taylor" as the legal brief has 1t - it Is to be hoped all this does not weigh too heavily upon the champions mind, bearing him down like crown of iron, thus making 1t easier for MT. Tunney to make good fist of Thursday nights proceedings.
 It would be bad, no doubt, If Mir. Dempsey, during clinch, was momentarily thinking about MT. Kearns instead of MT. Tunney, and In the breakaway found things go- ing against his jaw. It would be | equally hard on the champ Il while hoisting his arms in the gen eral direction of his adversary he began petrifying himself by mus ing about his former manager in- stead of watching the goyed fists of Mir. Tunney.

As most taxi calls nowadays are telephone calls, it does not seem entirely necessary for taxicabs to be cluttering up public thorough fares while waiting for trade. The person who, when in need of taxi. walks about the downtown streets looking for such convey ance is distinctly in the minority. This holds good Of course. with the exception Of such a center for travel as a railroad station.
 AS citizens generally call taxis by stepping 10 telephone, 1t is clear It makes no difference to the public where they are ensconced while waiting for such calls. What tn. public is most interested in is to have them arrive for a trip

\ Comment on Prof. Eaughana
 Remarks


 Remarks.
 New Britain, Conn, Sept. 20, 1926. The Editor Of the Herald:
 Professor Vamghan's remarks as printed in tonight's (Monday's) Her aid recall to my mind scene in the State Armory at Hartford in May of 1917.
 An awkward recruit stood in the middle of an office room twirling his hat in his hand.
 Several officers seated about table to which the recruit was caled and, presently, the senior officer spoke to the would-be soldier.
 Want to enlist, young fellow
 "Ycs, Sir" Capne the reply.
 You understand, of course. that when this organization leaves Hart ford it goes to war, it goes to fight, no easy jobs to be had with us. young fellow"
 And the young fellow answered once more, Pes, sir"
 He was shown out onto the drill floor to a table where sat another officer. On the table was little pile of oblong sheets folded the long way once.
 The officer at the table rose and read to the lad the oath of enlist ment as the latter raised his hand and swore to defend his country. obey the articles of war and the commands of his officers.
 And nobody lied.
 One does recall a politician mak- ing a speech while the organization was in camp on this side. Sticking a. thumb in the armhole of his vest he let go this one for windup: Co to it boys, give 'em Hell, and when you come back there'N be nothing too good for you" But nobody took him seriously, especially his last rash promise.
 That was to end war talk may have been made to wheedle the last dollars of a war loan, but no soldier fell for it. If he did he has only his own obfuse self to blame, for it came from no official source.
 Professor Eaughans address as printed in the Herald was very fine. It is to be regretted, however, that in choosing a topic for illustration, he chose from that too long list Of things that might be interesting # they were only true.
 Very truly yours,
 BRAINERD w. BROWN. 12S Shuttle Meadow Avenue.
