are mostly worsteds, cashmere and
wool mixtures.
Some PIaids Are Modest
A trif1e quieter in their tones are
the isles and silks and silk mix
lures. This class of hosiery go in
for the more modest plaids and
stripes. Some are accordion effects,
some have contrasting clocks. The
l'embroidered socks and drop stitch
treatments are not so much used,
Plain colored socks are always the
reliance of the conservative dresser
and in the final analysis the con-
sentative dresser is in the majority,
but he is not the style adherent,

If you belong to that class there are

The Minor Accessories

that peak out of your breast pockets
are either colored silks or fancy bor-

conventional whites are still in Or

Gloves show but little that's new.
Buck, channels, pigskin. mocha and
cape in the usual colors. The snap
fasteners are used much more than
the button variety.
Long Points the Vogue
Long pointed collars are the
vogue. Plain effects are more pop
ular than the self-patterned piques
and vale effects. Semi-stiff and
white are proper and most popular.
For evening dress either the wing or
the turn-down. The former leads
for formal dress.
Pajamas are gay in pattern and
color treatment New ideas are the
knee length coat and the one-piece
garment. AS yet these are novelties
and the military model still remains
the most popular.
Belts are a tri1e less wide than
last year. Buckles are becoming
more and more ornate and unique.

\ HISTORY MAKING"
 OPINION

The Supreme Court of the United States has added an important chapter to American constitutional law in the decision sustaining the presidential power to remove fed eral office holders without the con- sent of the Senate. The question, ignored in the Constitution, was first debated in the congress of 17S9; Hamilton in The Federalist contended that the consent of the Senate would be necessary to dis place as well as appoint" But the practice has uniformly been to yield the President the right of re- moval without consent of tie Sem ate, the only exception being dur ing the term of President Johnson, when there was open warfare be- tween the executive and the legis- lative branch of the government and the tenure of office act was passed. This act later was repealed.
 The decision of the Supreme Court will not radically affect pres ent procedure for the reason that the President has had the power the court now duly sustains. Had 1t not been for the irritated post master at Portland, Oregon, who was removed by President Wilson in 1920, the question would not have reached judicial considera- tion by the highest court of the land. This postmaster, Frank S. Myers by name, sued for four years salary and carried his con- tentions to the Supreme Court.
 The opinion. in holding that the President has the power unre- StliClOu DS SolIS Coo, lO ltiuONC duy federal official with the exception of few judges, will have the ef- feet of enabling the President to carry out the federal injunction to see that the laws are faithfully ex- ecuted. If federal officials could not be displaced without the consent of the Senate an endless political tur- moil would result, political-minded officials would be secure while mal- administering their offices, and the energies of the gov ernment would be inundated under a sea of politics.
 Yet there was sufficient room for on the question as to cause the court to render a divided opinion.

MORE APARTMENTS

The city is progressing swiftly to an era of more comfortable and in creased housing facilities. Tke large apartment dwellings so far construc- ted, and the 101 apartments being provided for through the four new apartments under survey, will add a commendable total to the fa- cilities created in the last few years. There will be more next year, and there will be a larger population to cater to. The time perhaps will come when there will be less com muting to New Britain from the surrounding cities and towns; at least, if all the people employed in New Britain really lived in the city there would be no possibility of a glut of housing. So much building has been accomplished, and so much additional building is to be under way within a comparatively short time-not 10 mention what may be expected to develop next spring - that the time may not be far distant when those who live elsewhere and are employed in New Britain may find it to their advantage to live closer to their places of employment. This would be a desideratum well worth working for.

THE STEADY INCREASE IN "GAS" STATIONS

Of all business men who have troubles by the bushel, the proprie- tors Of gasoline stations have more than their share. They run into trouble from the moment they begin to get out a permit to erect one Of the fancy bungalows incident 10 their trade. Nine cases out of ten the neighbors object strongly, al- though everyone agrees that there must be places where the propulslve fluid is on sale. Gasoline stations must not be near this nor near that, away from parks, away from churches, away from nice ncighbor- hoods, and not situated so as to in tensify traffic difficulties. In truth, a gasoline station on the corner seems to be scarcely any more popular than a saloon was in the old days.
 Most of the objections to gasoline stations, of course, are well founded. Only one thing can be said in their favor. and that is their well-lighted exteriors brighten up neighborhoods after dark.
 Objections to the gas distributing stations, however, can easily be over

COOLIDGE AND BUTLER

When President Coolidge stepped into the Massachusetts campaign and let it be known he strongly favored the reelection of Senator William Butler, his erstwhile cam paign manager, he may have sur prised a great many political ob- servers, yet he did no differently than, when he said a kind word for Senator Lenroot in Wisconsin some six months previously.
 The Republicans In Massachusetts are fighting an exclusively Coolidge campaign. The voters are being told that Senator Butler must be sent back to the Senate primarily to assist the President; and with this as the leit motiv of the campaign, they have no time for anything else.
 Had President Coolidge not thrown his hat into the Massachu- sets campaign, however, and Sena- tor Butler failed of reelection, the excuse would have been made that Coolidge had nothing to do with it; that Butler was defeated merely because the voters preferred Walsh Now this excuse cannot be made. If Butler is defeated it will go down in political annals as a defeat of the President in his home state, on a presidential issue he himself as- sisted in creating.

done. Particularly must there be no partiality shown to various com panies. There are laws, rules and regulations governing them and they should be strictly enforced; and when that is done the field should be open and fair,
 Let it be admitted that the oil in- dustry has attempted to beautify gasoline stations; many Of them. in fact, are more attractive in appear ance than nearby property. A first class gasoline station is not always a detriment to most neighborhoods, although 1t may be distinct disad vantage 10 others.
 The point is often made that there are too many of them. This, by the way, is a good point for those all ready in the business who dislike to see others enter the ranks of com petitors. And there may be much merit in the contention. So long as the number of automobiles in use increases, however, 1t is likely that the urge to build gasoline stations will increase. The saturation point for such stations, as with automo- piles, seemingly has not yet been reached. And it must not be over looked that the law abolishing curb stations has the tendency to cause the owners of the latter to go in for the larger stations, and frequent ly they must look for other sites. Every time a new drive-in station is opened, therefore, does not necessari- ly mean one more station, but may merely entail the substitution of such a station for one of the de- funct sort.
 Most of us will live to see the time when the installation of new gasoline stations will be rarity. But the first 25 years will be the hardest.

EUROPEAN DEBTS AND
 THE TARIFF

The European nations owe us eleven billions of dollars in war debts. The same European nations owe to private American bankers nine billions of dollars in private debts. If the European nations are to pay what they owe to the private bankers the sums they owe to the American government may prove a serious stumbling block. Naturally, the private bankers would much pre- fer to see the debts owing the gov ernment fail Of payment if their own accounts can be held taut. If Europe can pay both the debts ow- ing the American government and the debts owing private American bankers, well and good; but If Europe can only pay one kind of debt, the private accounts should re- ceive first consideration-so reason the bankers.
 They are entirely human In their appeal. They are thinking first of themselves. of their own pockets. No one else would do otherwise under similar circumstances.
 
 The propaganda for cancellation of the war debts to the government having failed, the next move has been to lower American tariff bar riers so that Europe can sell suf- ficient goods In American to pay her debts. This seems logical-for Europe-but will not meet with gen. eral approval in the United States, where people have a habit of think ing of themselves as well as of Europe.
 Secretary Of the Treasury Mellon, not agreeing with the bankers advo- eating a reduction in duties for the benefit of Europe. brings forth the novel plea that such action would not in reality make Europe better able to pay it's debts, but would re- duce the buying power of the American people sufficiently to pre- vent them purchasing European goods, as well as any other kind. Whether the secretary Is right or wrong is entirely a matter of opinion.
 The plan underlying all the talk is to augment the value of for eign investments. The people who loaned the money are thinking of themselves, of ways to smooth re- payment. They are not thinking of the nation at large, so much, as whatever happens will not material ly affect their own prosperity, cer- tainly not to the extent of nine bil- lions of dollars.
 With President Coolidge, Sec retary Mellon, Senator Borah and other notable administration leaders opposing the plan of the and American bankers there is small chance for any such scheme to materialize, although logical revision of the Fordney-Mc- Cumber tarill law may not be entire lv unlikely in the next or succeeding Such a revision, how ever, would be something entirely apart from the banking view Of trying to assist European debtors.

HONESTY BEST POLICY IN
 BUSINESS, SAYS LELAND
Merchant Tells Embryo Salesman, Factories, Jobbers and Retails
 Taboo Misrepresentation.

The time has passed when sales men or saleswomen can misrepre- sent their merchandise or overload a customer, according to Walter ". Leland. in addressing the opening session of the salesmanship class at the Y. M. c. A. last evening.
 MT. Leland explained how a few years ago a salesman could drop into mercantile establishment, take the buyer out to lunch or to the theater, unload a large order of inferior goods and take back an order.
 Conditions have changed, he ex- plained. Factories will not stand for unethical activities on the part of their salesmen, and factories, job bers and retail establishments of the better class, including practically all successful establishments. will not permit sales persons to misrepresent 
 One of the principal reasons for this change, in addition to a grow ing sentiment in favor of honesty as the best policy" according to Leland, is that business has learned that profits are made, not from big sales so much as from repeat or- ders' and satisfied customers are a greater asset than sen- sational sales.
 Fourteen men joined the class at its opening session.

Penn. May Taboo
 Fraternai Insurance

Harrisburg, Pa, Oct. PC Rl- Twenty-siX fraternal organizations, with headquarters in eleven different states, faced the possibility today of losing their licenses to sell insurance in Pennsylvania.
 An order calling on the organiza- tions to show cause on November 9, why their licenses should not be re- voied was issued yesterday by EH- mar Badford, state insurance com- missioner.
 Mir. Barford said that he had found some "excellent fraternal so- cieties' doing business in Pennsyl- vania, but that many concerns had shown expenses running too high.
 Some organizations, he said, ap- peared to have expenses running as high as 72 per cent of all premiums collected.
