From time to time appeals have been made to phone subscribers to
 show judgment in the use of the telephone but evidently such appeals have fallen on many deaf ears and some severe mishaps have been the
 rseult. Undoubtedly it is thought

"Mr. Blank reports his house en-
 tered between ?. m. and ?. m, and two ladies' rings, q watch and forty cents stol| l."
 Numerous entries of the above sort are made on the police blotter in the course Of year and in the New Britain department all of them are turned over to one man, who has had excellent success in clearing them up. If Sergeant Patrick J. i O'Mara (more intimately known as "Paddy") would lay aside his modest demeanor and tell how he gets the information that leads him to the culprits, an interesting story on psychology could he written, but the popular officer merely shrugs his shoulders and calls it "all in the days work"
 AS a matter of fact. it is well known to police officials and others having daily dealings with the de- partment, that Sergeant O'Mara's ability to ferret out from among the youth of the city, the informa- ton that not only helps in the re- coyery of stolen articles, but actually goes a long way towards preven- ton of juvenile crime. is nothing short Of unCanny.
 l He knows every boy in the city who migi.t be implicated in petty thieving. Not only that but he knows where they live, where they "hang out" what "gang" they be- ! long to. where they go to school their reputation for truthfulness and everything else a policeman should know to be successful. Frequently. 1 before the ink with which the com plaint is written. has dried on the complaint sheet, Sergeant OMara is in touch with a boy or a group who generally know something of the
 matter in hand and it is seldom that report of petty thieying, staying out at night, etc, remains unsolved more than day or two.
 "It don't pay to he rough with the boys" Sergeant O'Mara said the
 other day "I know most of them and I keep their confidence and good will and that pays in the end.'
 The sergeant does not believe in en-
 couraging boys to be game" in the
 sense that they should shield one
 another when they know a wrong
 has been done. He tries to show
 them that the greatest attribute of true friendship is displayed in
 helping one another to live within the law. and it is an evidence of his success in his work that he has been able to prevent, in many instances, Irepetition of small offences by the
 same group of yor.. .gsters.

One Of the regrettable features Of amateur and semi professional base- bail in New Britain is the lack of financial support the teams receive. Fans--or such they call themselves think nothing of going 10 Hartford where they pay sercnty-fiye cents admission. twenty or thirty cents for peanuts, soda or hot dogs, in ad1i- ton to their carfare or gasoline money. but they affect very severe cases of blindness when the score cards are passed at the JnduStrlal lcagne games, according to reports.
 The league cannot charge admis- sion to games played at Nillo" Brook park. because of the rule against it. consequently the generosI- tv of those who attend the games is depended on 10 q large extent For less than one-half the cost of seeing game In Hartford, the chance IS offered to witness two games or part of four games every Saturday after noon at Willow Brook park.

Public Utilities Pay a Heavy
Proportion of General
Tax LeVieS

Public utilities do something more
than furnish light, power, heat, tele-
phonic or telegraphic communication
or transportation. They all help, In
very large way, to pay our taxes.
Competent authority asserts that at
present the public utilities of the
country are contributing fully $780,
100000 annually toward general tax
alton, which is approximately one
quarter of the taxes paid by all IN
corporated industries in the country;
1t is right that these utilities should
pay taxes. They pay for something
of value to themselves. They occupy
public property for the transmission
of service. AS has been said, they
are sometimes looked upon as good
tenants with the highest financial
credit. paying rent in the form OF
taxes. The extent of such payments
is not generally understood. But
these payments contribute to the re-
lief of personal taxation-have dl-
rect and personal interest to every
citizen.

Crime Never Pays

Major Kempi of the French army
decided to see Paris. He was walk
ing along one of the "rues" when
something attracted his attention.
May have been madamoiselle. May
have been the window display of a
wine shop. 1t doesn't matter. The
point is-a pickpocket slipped hand
into Major Kempi's pocket and pinch
ed his wallet. This happens daily.
And the regulation editorial COM
ment should be, "Keep your mind on
your business" or something similar.
But you haven't heard all of the
case. Later in the day, the major
reached for his wallet. 1t was gone.
In its place was valuable diamond
ring. The ring had slipped off the
crooks finger Among the many
lessons to be drawn from this are:
/. Never be in too big hurry, not
even if you are a crook.
2. People who pick pockets should
not wear stones.
3. Crime never pays.
Speedy justice overlook the un-
known Paris pickpocket, who lost a
valuable ring, and gained only a few
dollars. The penalty, while almost
instantaneous, was not exceptionally
fast The moment you do crooked
deed, you lose certain amount of
self-respect and gain something of
far-less value.

that public ownership of these utili-
ties could make the lot of the citi-
zen easier? Taxes must be levied
and collected Or there can be no gov
ernment If all utilities were publicly
owned the cost of government would
be the same-at least not reduced be-
cause of such ownership-and taxes
necessary to defray expenses of gov
ernment would have to be raised
through other sources, for with pub
lie ownership, the taxes now paid by
the utilities would automatically end.
Public ownership of public utilities
operates such undertakings without

Dr. Clarence True Wilson, said today in his annual report. He also took occasion to commend President Coolidge's stand on prohibition en- forcement in his message to con- gress.
 The Methodist church is not seek ing temporal power In Washington, said Dr. Wilson's report, nor Is it lobbying" but is exercising through the board its full right of petition and organizing public in- fluence."
 The defeat of Senator Wadsworth of New York, was described as lone of the most significant victories pro- hibition forces have yet won" Wadsworth was charged with re- sponsibility for steering dry iegis- lation into the ditch" at the last session of congress.
 This showed that the ditch was his favorite place." said Dr. Wilson, "and we decided that he belonged in it, and we would put him there"
 In denying that religion was the motive behind opposition to Gov. Al Smith, he declared that the "tem-

 The anti-saloon league and other dry organizations supported Frank L. Smith for the senatorship in Illi- nois. Dr. Wilson explained. solely be- cause he stood for prohibition.
