TROLLEY PARKING

Down in Berlin the busses of the Connecticut company have improved the system of parking immensely. Instead of parking in the middle of the highway at the end of the Ber- lin run, as the trolley cars used to do, they swing up a side street and there await their scheduled depar- ture for the return trip, That is how it should be.
 But trolley cars are less elastic. They still are forced to park at the end of runs where the tracks hap pen to be. That not only causes in convenience but is dangerous to traffic.
 A citizen from the north end asked us to do something about" the practice of trolley cars being parked in the middle of Stanley street for ten minutes at time at the end of their runs. He said the Stanley street cars are parked in the middle of a street much used by other traffic, and as there are side streets near the end Of the termi- nus. tracks might well be laid along one of them for a sufficient space 10 permit the trolley cars o get off the main highway while they wait for the return trip.
 The same condition exists wher- ever trolley cars end their runs. Plainlille has had considerable trou- ble with parked trolley cars in the middle O. its main street; and why should any municipality be burden ed with such difficulties? In New Britain we have the crowded Cen ter burdened with parked trolley cars half the time-a system that has remained from the time when the city was young and there was no lack of space.
 The trolley companies should be forced to construct side tracks up side streets at the ends of all routes, where their large cars l can park in peace. And in the cities ] there should be downtown term nals. These exist in many munit palities and the trolley interests are

A. 11.07I. Q. How did Mexicans originate

A. l1,OtS.
 Q. How did Mexicans originate the term Gringos for Americans?
 A. It is said that when the United States soldiers were march ing in Mexico in 1sls. they sang Green Grow the Rushes, oh''. The Mexicans could catch only . part of this but retained "Grinso' which was applied to all Americans.
 Q. Can an American born citi- zen be deported?
 A. An American born citizen cannot be deported. When for eigner Is deported he is sent to the country from which he emigrated.
 Q. Why is the sun yellow?
 A. The atmosphere of both the sun and earth interfere more with the passage of light rays of shorter lave length. those towards the violet end of the spectrum. than with those of longer wave length (those towards the red end). If the sun could be seen through a smaller length of at- mosphere it would look bluer than 1t does. and 1t actually does look redder when seen through greater. length of atmosphere at sunrise and sunset
 Q. What Is the sheppard-Towner maternity bill?
 A. It provides for federal CO., operation with the states In pro- noting the welfare of maternity and infancy. The children's bureau of the United States department of labor administers the act. It pro- vides an appropriation of $1,24o.ooo per year for five years, to be divided among the states which accept the terms of the act and raise their pro- portion of funds to add to the federal appropriation.
 c. What was the cause of the Trojan War?
 A. At the marriage of Peleus and Thetis. Eris (Discord), who alone of the gods had not been in vited to the wedding, flung among the guests q golden apple inscribed For the most beautiful" Juno, Minerva and Venus disputed for the apple and referred the decision to Paris, who was then a shepherd on Mount Ida. To influence his judg- ment, Juno promised to give him power. Minerva martial glory. and Venus the most beautiful of women. He decided in favor of Venus and received from her Helen as his re- ward. He then abducted Helen. wife of Menelaus, King of Sparta, which brought about the war.

THE SACCO-VANZETT1
 DECISION

Governor Fuller of Massachusetts, in his decision affirming that Sacco and Vanzetti had been given a fair trial and were guilty of a cold hooded murder, declares he entered into a constitutional review of the case with an open mind; that he realized many men of distinction and high mental sttainments seri- ously doubted whether the men were guilty: that he had no intent to sustain the courts if he became con- vinced an error had been committed or that the trial had been unfair.
 That Is a fair attitude.
 But he went further. He appoint ed special committee to conduct an independent investigation at the same time. T felt that if such d committee conducted its investiga- tion independently and we were not in substantial agreement, then the course of Massachusetts justice did not flow in as clear a channel as believed it should"
 Had the report of the independ- ent committee differed from the governors findings. the execution of the two prisoners would have been stayed and in all probability a new trial would have been granted.
 That likewise is fair.
 The investigating commttee-con- sisting of President Abbott Law renee Lowell of Harvard University, former Judge Robert Grant Of Mas sachusetts, and President Samuel W. Stratton of the Massachusetts Insti- tute of Technology-came to the conviction that the trial had been fair and Sacco and Vanzetti were guilty.
 The governor came to the sam conclusion.
 There is hardly anything else t1 be said. The men doomed to die August 10 must be guilty.

THE, POWER OF SUGGESTION

A man from New Britain went 10 Cape Cod and there attended a church of a Sunday morning. He heard one of these modernistic ser mons, which was on modern topic, although founded upon one of the ton commandments. After the church service was over and the New Britsnite had left the cdifice he took mental stock of what he had heard and concluded the ser mon had put some ideas into his head which had never been there before.
 One can denounce wrongs and immortality; but too grcat an en- phasis upon the details of such wrongdoing can powerfully suggest them 10 minds which are not fully convinced of their harm, even in a church.

ILLEGAL PRESENTING
 IN CONNECTICUT


 It apparently has not yet dawned upon the various justices of the peace, constables and similar gentry in Connecticut that fee-splitting Is contrary to the Constitution of the United States. One is confronted with little difficulty In finding towns throughout the Nutmeg state where town courts do not exist, where the town judiciary" func- tions mainly as an institution to soak" unfortunates and where the fees are split.
 It was last March that the Su- preme Court of the United States, after due consideration of fee splitting case appealed to it from Ohio, enunclated the doctrine that this widespread custom is illegal and must cease. It was believed at the time that not since the Dred Scott decision would decision cause such ructions in the rural hin- terlands: but so far as Connecticut Is concerned, there has been no change noticeable to the bespec- tacled eye.
 The fee-splitting system is being practiced in at least A of our states-including, of course, Con- necticut. Thousands of justices of the peace and judges of inferior courts derive their only compensa tion from fees and costs.
 Proof Of how the system Is work ed in Connecticut came to our at tenton the other day when an auto ist unfolded the following tale of woe:
 While worming through traffic in a small town not far from New Britain his automobile bumped against another. The damage was exceedingly slight and he and the other autoist. after a few humorous remarks, agreed to split the damage. Scarcely were they back in their machines ready to proceed, how ever, when one of the officious constables of the neighborhood hove in sight and announced they would have to appear in court on a charge of reckless driving"
 They did so and after a sort of drumhead coUrtmartial the agree ment was to nolle the case on pay ment of costs. This is a favorite of the alleged prosecutors" Somebody gets the costs, in this case SIP. The defenceless autoists. eager to get away from such an environ ment, promptly agreed to split the "costs;;" and then later they split the damage, as they had intended doing in the first place.
 One town nearby refused to estab- fish a town court with salaried chief in charge largely because the petty politicians thought they need ed the fees under the present sys- lem. And there are other towns in he same class
 Yet all of this is illegal. Under the decision of the U. S. Supreme Court in the case of an Ohio mayor who made the tidy income of $100 a month from splitting fees, the court said: There are doubtless mayors who would not allow such 3 consideration to affect their and added that mayors (and others) should not be subjected to such temptations.
 The fee-splitting system in Con- necticut, though it continues to ex- ist, is unconstitutional. It Is high time that every town where the practice survives took note of this fact and placed its judiciary sys- tenn upon a more rational and hon. est basis.
