Police to Act to End Traf- fc Jams on Busy Days Highways Wide Enough for Double Lines RecOm- mended, Too.

Hartford. Aug. II GFD Motor ists impending traffic on the trunk line highways of the state by 'loafing along" at 10 to 20 miles an hour during heavy traffic condi- tiens are to be arrested. Such ac- ton must be taken, Superintendent Robert T. Hurley of the state po- lice said yesterday to end particu- larly bad situations such as those of Sunday. when traffic on Connec- ticut roads was greater than at any time duriny the season.
 Reasonable Speed
 Despite repeated warnings and wide publicity, the superintendent said many drivers do not seem sufficiently impressed with the im- portance of the matter of main taining reasonable speed during the hours when the highways are filled with vehicles, He said that the department has tried the expedient of drawing offenders out of line until traffic jams were strengthened out UT ulllll TuSneS udu dDdlSu, pul that this had not served to remedy the problem and more severe measures will have to be adopted to overcome the 'loafing" practice.
 To Warn Offenders
 No special motor vehicle law covers the "offense" of impending traffic by slow driving, Robert l.. Sengle. executive secretary of the department. pointed out. However motorists who delay traffic in this manner will be warned by the pa trolling state policemen, he said, and should they continue at the slow pace will be arrested on charges of failure to obey an of- ficer.'
 Forget Cars in Rear
 Superintendent Hurley said that the majority who drive slowly on busy days apparently do so without giving consideration to the stream of traffic behind them. Many are

Last American Cleric
 To Leave Mexico

Mexico City, Aug. IT LP-The only American citizen who is the pastor of a church in Mexico City, the Rev. William Evans Thomas of the Union Evangelical church has presented his resignation to the off cials of the church and willsdepart in a few days for Pittsburgh, his home. He says his usefulness has ended in Mexico, as he cannot func- ton as a pastor under the govern ments religious regulations.
 The other American church here, the Episcopal Christ church cathe- dral, is under the pastorate of a British subject, Dean Peacock, who has not officiated for months. Lay leaders have been conducting serv- ices since Dean Peacock promised to cease officiating when the govern ment ordered him expelled for vio- lating the constitution, which for bids foreign ministers to conduct church services.

MOTORISTS TO BE ARRESTED IF A THEY LOAF ALONG STATE ROADS

out for short drives or merely pleasure jaunts and seem to forget that there may be cars In the rear that have many miles to go before reaching their destinations. He pointed out that those In the rear are thus compelled to "cut in" If they are in a hurry. When this pro- cess is repeated the traffic line be- cones broken, jams occur, more time Is wasted and in addition acci- dent hazards are presented,
 Double Line Roads
 Wider roads. allowing two or more streams of traffic in one di- rection, as has been suggested might prove the ideal solution ot the continuous traffic movement problem, he said.
 However. many factors such as time, physical and financial condi- tions must be considered before such improvement can be enjoyed In the meantime, he said present conditions must be considered and motorists will have to cooperate in meeting these conditions that exist on the highways.
 Improving Roads
 Connecticut highways compare favorably with those of any state MT. Hurley said, and Improvements are constantly being made. The states road and driving laws re- ceive the praise of car operators from many states, he added, and driving conditions here can exec those elsewhere if all drivers will cooperate in maintaining reason able speed under the conditions that exist when they are abroad.
 All Officers Busy Sunday
 Superintendent Hurley and other officers of the department were out all day Sunday experimenting the work of the patrolmen. All avail able state policemen were called into service to handle the enormous traffic and reports were to the ef- feet that all experienced the busiest da. of the season.
 The peak of the vacation" traf- fic was reached Sunday the spolice consider. It is estimated, that un- less the fine Sundays of the fall call out excursionists. the record set by Sundays traffic will exceed that of any day this year.

AROUND THE CITY

movie shows in the daytime, to have
given them so tiny a pleasure, but

roads if it pays to take strange way
farers in for helpful lift. and hear
what he has to say about 1t!
For another case:
There is a woman whose business
sometimes gives her a pass to con-
certs, lectures, movies, and the like
and as a pass means two tickets for
first class seats, and it seems selfish to
let one of them be wasted, it happens
that on occasions when she does not
share them with close friendS-mOStly
afternoon entertainments, when her
regular comrades are busy at their pro-
fessionS-she asks some acquaintance
in the big place where she workS-at

another woman just why:

VICTIMS OF POISON GAS

to tell us just how humane the use of
poison gas in warfare may be; there
are other sources of information not
under suspicion Of prejudice. One of
these is the board of medical direct

eighth year since the conclusion of

The No.eoop MOSQUITO

The mosquito, what with being
convicted of carrying yellow fever,
malaria and of presenting its bill
when not due, has for some years
had anything but an envia.,e record.
Now 1t is indicted for carrying
dengue fever that causes much dis
comfort and suffering in the tropics
and southern part ot.this country.
Unless it may be found what the
mosquito is really good for other than
feeding fish and stimulating human
ingenuity in ways of self protection
a generally applied process Of exter-
mination would seem to be in order.
Spraying it's habitat with poison from
airplanes has been tried and suggests
what maybe done on a large scale in
the near future.

SANE AND SENSIBLE

Generally speaking, II an energetic
person be placed In charge of an
enterprise, he loses his perspective
regarding enterprises in general. The
bne over which he has supervision
looms so large to his eyes that the
scope Of his vision is narrowed. Of
ten, too, what he sees should be done
Cor his particular enterprise is theo-
betically right. but there are so many
matters to attend to that not all may
receive all the attention which, in the
New Of the specialist, may be needed.

Upon the attention Of our lawmakers
We do not recall a President bet
ter fitted and more conscientiously
disposed to hold the scales true TO
ahe actual needs, or with a more
practical comprehension of those
needs, than President Coolidge. These
characteristics were displayed in his
Memorial Day address, in which he
appealed for the exercise of common
kense in bringing about disarmament.
Je would have us understand that
we now have the best army and navy
the country ever has possessed in
time of peace and he would keep
them SO as long as there is work for
them to do. At the same time, by
every practical means, he would
strive for lessening the burden-and
the demands-for military prepared
ness. He hopes for practical results
from the Geneva conference He be-
1eves the World Court will contrib
ute to better international under
Standing and cooperation. He sees
that essential to peace are opportu-
mites for people to earn their living

1t was said during the considera-
ton of the bill to eliminate the pub
lie and leave the railroad wage to
the railroads and their employees that
this eventually would mean that the
public within short time would be
paying the emrlc"es around a billion
more dollars per year. The bill re-
ceived a passage and the railroad
unions are now seeking an increased
wage. We do not understand their
propaganda, however, publishes the
wages they now are getting. If that
should be done the public might be
able to make comparisons and reach
the conclusion that the railroad en-
ployes on the whole are now receiY-
ing good pay. But then, who CAFES
what the public cares; it is virtually
prevented now from having any say,
except in dire extremity, about those
wages; its job is to pay the bills.
