of scrap metals, he announced today. The case closed in court yesterday afternoon and Attorney Greenstein for the plaintiff summed up the evi-
 denc2 presented during the two days or the nearing. He laid particular stress upon the testimony of Mrs. 1ludack who testified that she fees
 from the neighborhood with her children when the machine starts:
 that of Harry karp, who complained
 he IS awakened every day by the machine; that of Mrs. Harry karp, l. Honeyman and Mrs. Dudack that they were required 10 have medical attention for nervous ailments re-
 sulting from the noise, and the tes,i- mony Of Dr. George NJ. Flanagan that Mr. and Mrs. LeyensOn also had treatment for similar ailment. He also charged that very noticeable property depreciation has already come as result of the junk yard, pointing 10 the fact that Louis
 Neubauer who owns two siN-tenc- ment houses on Putnam street, has found 1t necessary to lower his rentals to keep tenants. Corrobora- ton Of Ncubauer'5 statement had been made by Samuel CartclH, a tenant, who said his rent was re- duced from s3f 10 s%0. but that he would not remain after this winter even if the rent were but sl0 a month.
 Dr. w. w, Pullen, superintendent Of health, was called as q defense witness yesterday to testify that the shearing machine noise would be drowned out by heavy truck.
 The defens" also summoned Leo E. BoIger. classified advertising manager of the New Britain Herald. for expert testimony on the rent sit uation in an effort to prove it's con t"ntion that removals rom houses in the locality of the Junk yard are attributable to the fact that there arc many vacant ton"ments in New Britain and that the householder may now obtain good living quar- tcrs at low cost.
 In reply 10 questions directed hy -N ''o' ii' JSl d'l Nd lp'lS'I Sdll lI' was employed as classified advertis- ing manager for the Boston Telo. gram before coming to The New Brit ain Herald He identified copy of tho Herald classified advertising pag. and it was offered in evidence.
 Boger testified that during the month of August. the Herald ran on ali average of 70 new advertisements and five repeat advertisements for trnements 10 rent, each day. The months total was 900 now and l@5 repeat ads" In September the average was lI new and repeats day, he told the court, his totals heinz S75 and loo respectively.
 The advertising man next idcnti- fled printed statement 10 the effect that "25O New Britain families moved on September l.' Attorney Nair requested Bolser 10 explain how this figure was arrived at. His testimony was to the effect that lG5 were cancelled be- cause apartments were rented through the Herald. He reasoned by past experience that 3h per cent of rentals are brought about by word Of mouth advertising and pa- card. while the competing newspaper in New Britain was credited with bringing about five per cent Of tn" rentals. The remaining i5 per cent he declared to be a conservative estimate of the rentals brought abOut through Herald ads" He then computed the whole rumhor with l65 representing G5 per cent. In inc month of October thcre were about 100 more vacancies than in Bolgcr testified.

OUR MESS OF POLITICAL PoTTAGE

Reports from the Grand Canyon say that the
Williams road has been wet in places necessitat-
ing chains and slow driving and the Maine road
is in bad condition on account of SHOWS and not
recommended for travel. Of course such condi-
tions are only temporary after storms. 1t is the
same with all unsurfaced roads after storms. The
southern route has been getting most of the traf-
fic the year round though the north gets the
heaviest traffic during the summer months. Los
Angeles boosts the southern route all the time.
The California end of the Old Trails Highway
receives scant attention from the California road
builders.
We only mention this to show how much better
off Coconino county and the Old Trails Highway
would have been with million dollar road built
to Grand Canyon by the government, instead of
saving the Bright Angel Trail for mess of
political pottage Jealousies, hatreds and politics
will not build roads-except to that region where
all roads are paved with good intentions
Coconino county is the largest county in area
in the whole world. 1t is bigger than the Balkan
war states; larger than Nicaragua country; has
canyon greater than the Panama Canal though
there is some dispute as to who built it, and has
the right to dispose of it. God made wonder
land for artists among the highlands and noun
tains and sowed Christmas seeds of green pine
trees, for those below to come up and see; and
painted vast desert with colors so resplendent
that no flapper could possibly compete with them.
Are we bound to make an eternal mess of our
pottage?

WELL, HERE'S AN OLD FRIEND!

At this special season of the year it is difficult
to avoid giving this old friend, who has tramped
around in newspapers all over the country for
years, lift. The gink who Originally wrote this
wall of woe, knows just as well as we do that if
every man, woman and child in this country were
held strictly accountable for every violation of
OUR LAWS, which we have made to protect our
selves from ourselves, we'd have to put tent
over the United States and send to foreign coun-
tries for police guards. Here's where we are head
ing for according to this poor gink, and if you
have over leven dollars in the bank you'll agree
as to the general situation. He says:
Il have been held Up, held down, sandbagged,
walked on flattened out and squeezed, first by the
government for federal war tax excess profits
tax, liberty bonds thrift stamps capital stock tax,
income tax, merchants license, merchants bonds

what may or may not pOSSeSS-from the society

FOR THE GOOD OF THE CAUSE

The state of Arizona is paying dearly for the
political conditions which have enveloped the state
university When the first signs of trouble arose
an iron hand should have been used to crush it
out in the interests of the students, the instltu-
tion and the good name of Arizona at large. Great
men will make great sacrifices for the good Of the
cause.
1t is an easy matter to make bolsheyiks of the
students when those who are in power and should
lead are at war among themselves.
The people of Arizona pay a heavy tax for edu-
cational purposes. We doubt if there is another
state iii the Union that pays more per capita IN
school funds than does the state of Arizona.
The student bodies should be educated as to the
political welfare of their state and country.
They should be taught the vast difference be-
tween personal politics for individual gain" and
politics as applied to the successful carrying on
Of a democratic government.
Where older men fail what can you expect of
the coming generation?

HOUSE BILL NO. II

While we have no idea just what trouble Rep
resentative Francis of Maricopa county may have

sudden and exhilarating for he introduces a bin

We presume this bill would include windows on
upper floors, but it does not go far enough. 1t
should~ncludes catch-nets and other conveniences

reasons for being expeditions. This law would

WHY BE so CRUEL

Few people realize how cruel and unethical the
management of the state prison at Florence is
getting to be. Just recently when poor life
termer was out calling on his lady friends, his
automobile ran out Of gasoline and he was unable
to get back to his sanctuary until after o'clock
b. m and found the prison doors locked against
him Just suppose if this prisoner who was pen
stoned for life because of some casual killing of a
friend caught pneumonia from outside exposure
and died as a result?
AS state enploye shouldn't his folks be recon-
pensed through the State Industrial Commission?
Surely it is penorious state of affairs when each
prisoner is not furnished keys to his domicie, or
return post cards in order that he may keep In
touch with the prison authorities
