CITY OF NEW HAVEN :
HECTIC FINANCES

The city of New Haven also, one
learns from Mayor John B. Tower,
is one of the cities which "just
grew" like Topsy. To eliminate
some of the defects of thoughtless
growth the city plan board of New
Haven asks for 20,Q00-quite a
modest sum compared with what
some of the other city departments
claim they require.
1t so happens. however, that New
Haven's boks show a deficit of
$1,300,0OO. It would seem from
this that playing politics and good
finances do not go hand in hand.
The mayor, however, is ambitious
to adopt new funding arrange
nent to wipe out the large deficit,
and has sound ideas about bal
anclng the budget" ideas which
read pretty much like those eman-
ating from the French budget bal
ancers.
New Haven has been over
estimating its income and applying
the Jver-estimates TO its budget,
thus complying with the state law
but doing nothing to wipe out its
deficit. In the future the city will
not over-estimate its income. and
win refrain from applying the
phantom r-estimates TO the bud
get.
The situation is a BLACK eye" for
the city, the mayor declared.
He should send a committee to
New Britain to study Scotch
financing.

ELIOT'S ATTITUDE
TO THE PRESS

The Boston Herald paid a unique
tribute to Charles w. Eliot, one
which will prove to any newspaper
man more than anything else that
the late president emeritus of
Harvard was a distinctive indlvid-
ual.
The Boston paper told its read
ers how several months before his
death Mr.. Eliot had sent the edi-
tor a communication upon prohi-
bition, but which was found by
the editor to be predicated upon
conditions three years ago. The
editor accordingly returned the
manuscript, with an explanation
why it was not printed.
Instead of performing the usual
act Of flaring up in anger, telling
the editor how little he know, and
threatening to cancel his subscrip-
ton to the paper, Mr.. Eliot wrote
a kind reply in which he thanked
the editor for returning the
manuscript, saying that the judg-
ment of the newspaper now seemed
to him better than his own.

MINE HORRORS
CAN BE PREVENTED

Although as this was written the
exact cause for the mine explo-
sion at Clymer, Pa, had not yet
been determined the statement in
the news accounts that the mine
was being re-ventilated and cleared
of poisonous gases" leads TO the
supposition that the usual cause
created the havoc-an explosion of
accumulated gases.
One cannot help inquiring
whether the use of rock dust-a
sure preventive of such explosions
costs too much for the economic
ally-minded companies not yet en-
ploying this method. or whether life
is held too cheap to bother with
such safety appliances.
The use of rock dust to prevent
mine explosions has been shown
in practice to be the one certain
method OF avoiding such horrors as
that which occurred in Pennsyl-
vania-the second within a few
years in that vicinity. And the
method of its use is simple.
At strategic points throughout
the workings rock dust is stored in
platforms easily tilted by the slight
est rush OF air from an explosion.

WILL TIPPING GO
OUT OF STYLE?

A dispatch from Madrid an
nouncing that after September
tipping will go out of style in no.
! tells and lodging houses, the pro-
| prietors having agreed on a ter
per cent surcharge on all bills to
cover gratuities for service, at first
reads like solution of the tip
ping evil"
One might even hope that Amer
lean hotels would copy the plan,
and without considering the matter
carefully it would seem that the
cure for the evil has been found.
But has it? We doubt.
In the first place, tipping pri-
marily is to encourage closer at
tention to ones wants and a little
better personal service than the
ordinary guest receives. People
with more money who give the
most lavish tips, invariably receive
the better service from hotel en-
ployes.
With a fiat ten per cent sur
! charge added to the bill 1t can
easily be seen that the individual
servant will receive no more for
his attention than his fellow SER
want. The result will eventually be
a decline in the quality OF service
rendered, so that the guest with
the most money to spend will de-
mand improved service.
| And he will get it through re-
sorting to tipping.
Conditions will be just where
they were before - except that the
paying guest will be paying ten
per cent more than he did under
| the old system.
The ten per cent surcharge is
only another way OF raise the
rates; and in the end it will not
abolish tipping.

INCOMPETENT DRIVERS
AND SPEED

The New Canaan Advertiser has
become a little critical of state
police Superintendent Hurley's sug-
gestion that automobiles on the
main state highways be kept to a
speed of about 80 miles an hour,
citing the statement of Commission
er Stocked recently that there are
10000 drivers in Connecticut who
are incompetent. What will hap
pen, asks the Advertiser, when a
state policeman asks one of the in
competents to step on it."
Such a request no doubt will
rarely be necessary. The incom-
petents are the very drivers who
show a dissemination to travel as
slow as 80 miles an hour. 1t is
these who loop the loop" and
drive out of line habitually and
Unnecessarily, endangering the lives
of others. And it can be safely con-
cluded these incompetents figure in
a large percentage of the accidents,
basing this deduction upon news
paper accounts of how they hap
pen.
The incompetent driver is far
more likely to drive too fast under
any and all circumstances than to
drive too slow. That's why he is
classified as incompetent.

A CONNUNIQUE FROM DIR.
TRAPROCK

90 North, August 18th, Hon. Sir, l
am glad to be able to report splen-
did midsummer season for our joint
venture, THE FUN SHOP Hotel and
Cottages, and when l say Joint"
don't misunderstood me. The place is
no Joint, but real high-class dump
and all the folks up here are very
ker-tish.
The Crown Prince Gustavus of
Sweden cam back, as promised, and
took the royal suite overlooking the
aurora. He brought with him this
three brothers, Olaf. Wittlafi and
Pilaf, and the four of them have had
rare sport playing polar tennis
which is done on skis with rubber
cored SNOWFALL.
The hot weather which ! under
stand has prevailed down your way
has also been noticeable there and
has done some damage. The ice
glazed skylight over the swimming
pool caved in and that night when
the temperature went back to nor
NAL for August approximately 20
degrees below the pool froze over.
This almost ruined Prince Wittlaf
who went down in the early morning
to take his plunge. He did brodie
from the spring board, sprained his
chin and bent the royal bridgework.
The netx day it was hot again. The
seals suffered a lot, some of them
being reduced to mere shadows.
Also, some of our semi-detached
igloos threatened to collapse until,
by happy thought, I turned the big
fan from our ventilating plant on
them and you could actually hear
the igloos stiffen up.
Yours to hand saying that my
wife demands my Immediate re-
turn. Tell her that the return mes
sage is that DIR. Traprock has Just
left the club. You know me, hey,
NJ. F. j.? More anon.
Yours,
Walter E. Traprock.

ENTERTAINING CHILDREN

The practice of taking children
into the country for a days outing,
developed to a large scale by some
New Britain organizations, is to be
highly commended. 1t is safe to say
the organization members who as
sist in entertaining the tots enjoy
themselves quite as much. The out
ing given by the Knights of Column
bus to the children of the Polish
orphanage the other day was a
case in point.
New Britain herald., 1926-08-28

The dust is also scattered on the
floors of the entries, keeping the
explosive dust from getting into the
air. The method is advocated by
the Department of Commerce and
the U. S. Bureau of Mines. The
latter recently issued the following
bulletin comparing what happens
when rock dust is not used and
when 1t is accepted as a safeguard:
IAN explosion which occur
red recently in a mine in west
ern Kentucky emphasized the
efficacy of rock dust in the
limitation of coal dust explo-
sions. In a section which had
not yet been rock busted,
miner drilled into a strong gas
feeder, which was ignited by
his open flame cap lamp. An
explosion resulted and killed
the II men in this section or
panel Upon reaching the rock
busted area the flame of the
explosion was extinguished,
thus saving the lives of about
1870 men working in other
parts Of the mine"
As the Bureau of Mines points
out: Rock busting Is the only
known effective means of ex-
tinguishing a coal dust explosion
And in addition to this convinc-
ing statement. the Bureau of Mines
adds the following succinct COM
ment:
American coal mine explosions
with their heavy loss of life are
needless killings" and are ma
tional disgrace"
How long are we to have these
needless killings" and this ma
tional disgrace?"

BERLIN IMPROVEMENTS

Berlin has every reason to feel
gratified at the early elimination Of
Beckleys crossing. The improve
ment was long time in coming,
and perhaps the fact that this is
a political year hurried the stu
alton slightly. But the town is
grateful for all evidences of i'm
provement, and it is to get its
share within a reasonable time.
The fact that a new bridge of
three spans will be constructed over
the Mattabessett river at the APP
pDoach to the crossing elimination
also indicates the state will do a
thorough job while it is being done.

ma FERGUSON IN
TEST OF POWER
Hopes TO Overcome Moody's
Lead in First Primary

Dallas, Tex. Aug. % R)-Drawn
to the polls by spirited run off
primary campaign featured by
charges of Ku Klux Khan and "oiI
interests" control, Texas voters to-
day cast their ballots in what they
regarded as the supreme test of the
Ferguson regime.
Defeated in the July primary for
the democratic gubernatorial nomi-
nation Dan Moody, attorney general,
Governor Miriam A. Ferguson, re-
vived the anti-klan platform on
which she rode to victory two years
ago in her "vindictive campaign aft
er her husband, James f. Ferguson.
had been ousted from the governors
chair. In an active campaign her
husband added charges that oil in
terests were combining with the khan
to elect Moody.
! Moody. executing his promise to
carry his attack on "Fergusonism"
to every school district, made from
| two to five addresses a day In the
second campaign. He charged that
Mrs. Ferguson was governor by
proxy" only and that her husband
| dictated the policies, which he alleg-
ed had created turmoil in state az
fairs. Moody denied the khan was
an issue. Answering the Ferguson
charge that if he became governor
1.-The state will be in the hands of an
| invisible government" Moody de-
clared the sole issue was ito rid
the state of Fergusonism."
Mrs. Ferguson entrusted the
speaking tour almost entirely to her
husband, who attacked the khan and
declared sit is my God-given right
to advise my wife so long as she
asks it." In the July campaign
Farmer Jim" called on the state
rangers to quiet hecklers, display of
pistol being necessary on one occa-
sion, while in the second drive tho
veteran campaigner invaded Moody
territory, usually tearing off his coat
and collar to better wade into the
| job"
AS the campaign closed threats Of
| Investigations of irregularities came
from both camps. Moody support
ers confined their threats to actions
planned at the special session called
by Governor Ferguson for Septem-
Der 10 to validate more than $780,
| 100000 of state road bonds and to
Investigate any departments of tho
state deemed advisable" The Fer
guson claim that Moody will be I'M
able to get bis name on the Novem-
Der ballot, alleging violation of the
election law in the July primary.
They also demand an investigation
of campaign fund contributions.
Although run off contests Develop
| ed for the democratic nominations
| for state treasurer and attorney
general, little interest is shown in
these races. With the republicans
polling but 10000 votes in July as
compared to more than 100000 in
the democratic gubernatorial con-
test, the winner today s considered
as the next governor of Texas.
Moody supporters claim that the
| 100000 votes he received in July,
coupled with the trend shown by
more than 100000 received by
Lynch Davidson, also anti-Fergu-
son give the attorney general an ad-
vantage in the run-off.
Moody also has referred to Mrs
Ferguson's offer to withdraw from
the race if he led her in the first
primary. She ignored this offer.
