Of the former it is said he Is quite a politician. He is most forceful and adroit politician because he is able to sell to the nation his repu- tation for efficiency greatness and goodness. Millions of people, par ticularly in the east, believe him to be the palladium of sanity and safe ty. Besides, he is universally cred tied with being the Coolidge candi- date.
 Of Lowden there is a less spec tacular mental conception. Yet there are those who say he is the stronger man-stronger now and with every prospect of being just as strong next June, when the showdown comes,
 Lowden's strength is quiet and sturdy: it extends throughout the far west, the middle west. If the convention were held now 1t is said
 
 that most Republican leaders be- lieve Lowden--provided Coolidge continued 10 choose retirement - would obtain the nomination.
 Hoover is in favor of policies similar to those held by Coolidge. Iowdcn holds policies of radical farm relief. That gets the voters where they will do the most good. Politicians know that as well as they knew their parliamentary law. Lowden is believed to be the only man in the party able to bring about better understanding be- tween the east and west. Once nom- mated. he would get the votes of eastern Republicans anyway - as many of them as Hoover would get and he would stand a much bet ter chance in an assortment of doubtful states.
 Here's how Hoover sizes up as politician: Recently, in Los Angeles he made a speech in " hich he favored host of national pro- jects, including the Boulder Dam, Mississippi flood control and others costing millions by the score; these expensive and extensive projects combined, he added, need not inter fere with tax reduction.
 That's the kind of stuff Lowden doesn't talk. If he favors something that costs money he admits it, but weighs probable results with the necessary outgo.
 The only hardship Lowden has 10 contend with is the lack of the Republican machine support in his own state-the machine operated by William Hale Thompson and Gov crnor Len Small. This opposition is considered credit to him else 1 W here,

CITIZENSHIP GREETINGS

The KiWanis club the other day saw fit 10 hold sort of reception To numerous newly mad, citizens Of the United States.
 This Was fine idea; the oNocu- 'ion of the idea, however Was not ,u,ir,lv above a hit Of mild ruckcr- uz of the eyebrow,
 Two addresses were made in for apu languages. Inasmuch as the r~}yly made riti2cns had 10 under pJ an examination in elementary English it is entirely probably that they could have understood speeches in English, provided the speakers took care not 10 exhaust their vo- cabularies.
 The aycrars naturalzed citizen brides himself on his understand ing of ordinary English, We rather think that most of them will agree that all the advice on Americanism they need can be accepted in the the lingo of their new land.

SAND TRUCKS

Anyone with eyes to see has noted heavily loaded sand and gravel trucks passing through the city. They have not only been loaded heavily, but there are plenty of citizens who have noted how speedy they travel.
 The police apparently are attempt ing to end the menace of these heavy juggernauts menacing the public. The prosecutor, not content with going after an arrested driver, also has put the clamps of the law down on the higher-up who was re- sponsible for the overlooking, the charge under which conviction was attained.
 The public will commend both the police and the prosecutor. Our streets cost too much money to be ruined by overloaded trucks. The law is explicit. It should be thor oughly enforced-and not merely occasionally, but continually.

THE DEADLY CIGARETTE

The other day, when $Soo,oo0 worth of buildings burned to the ground at Revere Beach Mass. the Concy Island of Boston, it was an- nounced that the blaze started when d fapper threw lighted cigarette on the floor in wooden building.
 Now Ocean City N. J, another mammoth summer resort" has had an extensive blaze, 10 the tune of q $4ooO,0oo loss. It apparently did not take the police long to discover that someone, after lighting a cigarette, threw the lighted match into a pile of rubbish under the boardwalk.
 Cigarettes, like powder, are per fectly harmless when one knows how 10 use them.

And if she hadn't run in the primary, stirring things up as only peppery American girl can do, the municipal election would never been heard from further than the outskirts Of the town. But because Miss Jones is intent upon showing the world that the present mayor cannot keep up with the Joncs's the New lamp shire town gets more publicity than It ever got before.

These owls have deep loud syllabled hoot, varied somewhat into a hoarse neighing laugh.

HOUSEHOLD NECESSITIES

One day we read that the New England-which means Maine-po- tato crop is below normal. Then we read that the apple crop is below normal. Dispatches from the west have stated the meat supply Is less than it ought to be, Cuba has put In motion a high export tax on sugar, so as to raise the price in the United States. Housewives, If they are prudent and thoughtful, will re- member all these items and wonder what the world is coming to. But
 Gasoline prices have gone down perceptibly within the last few months.
 And automobile prices are not likely to advance.

CCBBY HOLE SHOPS

Landlords in the downtown sec ton of New Britain have done a heat job in reducing the frontage of many places of business. In other words, where there formerly were two stores on the ground floor of a business block, changes have been wrought, so that there now are three; perhaps sometimes four Less width does the trick-and the at tenuated shop owners invariab bly pay as much rent as the others former ly paid. This is one form Of what We know as progress.
 In the early days of New Britain the average merchant had nothing so much as plenty of room. Some of them may have had more room than goods; and though it required more coal to heat a "wide and com modious' shop, the black diamonds were vastly cheaper than today Merchants must have taken pride in doing business in large premises.
 Nowadays only the larger and most important stores have the wide premises. The "shoppes' one sees in considerable profusion in almost every block seem 10 be content with less space-dictated by the oXigencies of landlording and the effort of the owners 10 get a satis- factory return on the higher valua- ton.
 The same tendency of smaller quarters holds good all along the line. The average modern house has smaller rooms than those which were common In the homes of a generation ago. The apartments built shortly after the war were particularly attenuated in this re- spect, although the tendency is said 10 be toward larger rooms since that time. Hotel rooms have become smaller, but one of the most modern 1 of hotels is advertising large rooms as a departure from the prevailing mode.
 Pullman berths remain about the { same. These still require contor- 1 tionist to feel at ease, especially the ] upper bcrths.
