FOOTBALL JOLLITY

One cannot help coming to the conclusion that the weekend foot ball games are furnishing opportuni- ties for jollity as well as sport.
 This refers, of course, to the parties staged before and after the games.
 Every hotel. inn, cabaret, road house and dancing rendezvous has done its best to attract the foot ball throngs.
 Officials are trying to curb condi- tions so that the happy folk will be able to remember the score Of the game. It must be hard task here and there.
 There was a time, probably in the dim ages, when folk went home and to bed after the game, Nowadays the main fireworks go off after the game is finished.

PNEUMONIA FATAL
 TO IRISH PRIVATE

Irish parliamentary leaders from Parnell to Redmond. Conciliatory ir method, with wide economic and financial knowledge, he was an i'm portant force in Irish politics.
 When the British government founded the congested districts board to improve conditions along the western seaboard it invited Bishop O'Donnell to join it and for many years he rendered invaluable service in its work.
 Bishop O'Donnell's prominence in the home rule movement was marked by his selection as chairman of the national convention in 1897. When Premier Lloyd George in 1917 attempted a solution of the Irish question by consent and set up a convention of all parties 10 debate ii, Bishop O'Donnell was one of it's members and took an active part in it's discussions. The convention failed, partly owing to the absence of Sim Feincrs, and partly owing to differences on Irish financial autonomy. Bishop O'Donnell warm ly advocated Ireland's fight for fiscal freedom.
 Early in 1922 the advancing years of Cardinal LOgue. archbishop of Armagh. required the appointment Of q cnadiutor archbishop at Attalia and the right of succession 10 the see, on which Bishop ODonneil en- tered after the death of Cardinal Logue in 1924. He sienalized his accession by some notable speeches to his people. appealing for peace and fair p'0v all around, both as be- tween northern and southern Ireland and as between the majority and minority in each section.

ENIlEOADS NS. TRECkS

Pleading that New Uugl.Il indus tries should as a matter of policy support the railroads by shipping goods over the lines rather than by truck, President George Hanuauer Of the Boston & Maine made out a fairly strong case the other day.
 Speaking before the Associated Industries Of Massachusetts, the railroad president admitted that New EugIand shippers have diverted four billion tons or freight year from the railroads 10 motor trucks.
 The railroad executive naturally is alarmed, He is increasingly alarmed over the fact that such diversion is increasing rather than diminishing
 The case he made out for the rail- roads is something like this: The railroads need this business that is being diverted in order 10 give good service and low rates; railroad over head is just as high with this busi- ness diverted to trucks as it would he were the freight crarritl on the rails; if there is ever 10 be a down ward revision of freight rates that time will come quicker with less motor truck competition than with more of it.

GRATIFYING TRIANGLES

The petition of citizens in the northwestern section of the city to have the park board oeautty the triangle at Clinton and Burritt streets should be acted upon favor ably.

\ SUBMARINE AND PIRATES

Truth does take strange turns Here we read of British sub marine chasing Chinese pirates up q bay along the Asiatic coast, after rescuing the crew of q steamer which had been captured by the sea bandits. Thrilling scenes" were en- acted" says the dispatch, which well may be true.
 This oriental thriller ends in q complete victory for the submarine. Not only did a shell dropped into the engine roome of the vessel the pirates had captured bring the piratical cruising 10 a sudden stop, but the L-4 proceeded to shell the shore rendezvous of the bandits.
 All of which reminds us that there are still pirates infesting the high seas. A few weeks ago dispatches from sundry dots on the African map reminded Us there was still slavery in the world. CivIlizing influence is spreading out, however, and after 2oo,O0O slaves were set free by or der of the shocked British govern nent, one Of King Georges under sea boats puts bad dent into pirati- cal activities.
 Now if Britain could act as expedi- tiously as that in killing off the opium traffic from India the hands of the clock would Dc turned ahead even faster.

AICAZARi

Overheard by F. R. Brainard)
 Andy Ames, the ne-plus- ultra mo- tary public and fertilizer salesman of Shorewood, peeled carrot and took bite.
 "Maybe" he said, "you've never heard of Spike Turner's hen Alca- Zar?"
 "No? Well, I'll tell you about her. She had the mother instinct as big as an elephant, and she matched out litter of the cutest chicks you ever saw.
 Spikes house set close to the road, and there was a lot of auto mobiles on it. Inside of q week there wasn't a chick left Of Alcazar's brood. The autos got every one of them.
 "Alcazar's heart was full of hatred and revenge!
 She gave herself a stiff neck pecking at tires. The rubber being soft. bounced when she pecked it, and her head would fly back, wrenching her neck.
 This made her all the madder
 But she was helpless. What can a hen do against an automo obile ? Alcazar thought and thought, and finally an idea came to her
 She ate half keg of assorted nails.
 And then she walked calmly down the road. The first auto that came along hit her And the nails hit the tire. There was a bang and then sizzle. Alcazar died, but she had her revenge,
 "Ycs, sir said Andy Ames. Pass the cider."

STOCKS, POLITICS AND FARES

Behind the hectic augmentation about subway fares in New York lies the question of stock values, It has been claimed repeatedly that five cents for a fare in New York does not pay the cost of trans portation and the only reason the low fare can be continued is through indirect subsidies by the city.
 The public of the city Is described as welded" to the five-cent fare, and that raise would spell disaster to any administration in power at the time.
 The Republicans upstate would like to see such raise put through as a way to iniure the Democratic politicians In the metropolis. The scheme from this angle is one Of definite political expediency.
 The public might be more inclined 10 regard the fare increase idea through reasonable glasses, too, If it were not generally known that an increase would result in a generous advance in the stock values Of the companies, It is well known that the holders of the stock would be>greatly enriched.
 Consequently the public is against the plan. And it is partly in order to prevent any such possibility that samuel Untermcyer, special counsel to the transit commission, has scheme in his bonnet for the city to acquire the subway lines. Then here is the interesting angfe as to what lines really earn money and which lines are losers, but are maintained from the earnings of the profitable lines The 'mes earning money are the subways; the losers are the surface lines, and also some of the L lines.
 The companies claim the non-pay- ing lines should be operated from the income by subways; Untermyer 1 is opposed.
 Untermyer has the best of the argument There is no reason why the out-of-date and slow-moving s-rface lines, which are standing stl half the time on account of traf- fic delays should dominate the fare charge on the subways.

PAVING ALTERNATE ROUTES

Complaint having been made that trucks pass through the Center too frequently when they could use al ternate routes to the advantage Of both the city and themselves it has been alleged that the reason the central route is preferred is because of its superior paving,
 Perhaps this on the whole is true. But why should it be the case when the city is supposed to keep all i'm , portant thoroughlares in condition ? Particularly the whole of the alternative routes-why should they not be kept in first class shape?
 If the main streets through the downtown section are so far superior 10 the alternate routes as 10 stimu- 1 late truck traffic through the Center it is clear that the alternate routes have not been kept up properly.
 But regardless of this, let the trucks use the alternate routes. If this is done they will soon be In such shap that the city will be forced to pave the remaining rough streets properly.

touch upon one Of the chief reasons why motor trucks are so popular That has to do with their ability to provide Goor-to-door delivery. And this is a particular advantage in re- lation to short-haul deliveries.
 A iobber in New Haven calls up a New Britain hardware firm. He wants half a dozen cases of hard ware "as quick as possible" In many instances he can got the goods by truck the same day he gives the or der.
 Or a New Britain hardware firm gets an order from abroad. Quick transportation to the pier of the boat in New York is advisable. Reference to steamship sailings show that d liner is due to leave at New York at midnight. A motor truck , leaves New Britain with the goods in the morning and takes them di- rectly to the ships side in time 10 be put aboard.
 How can a railroad compete with such service in either of the hypo- thetical cases cited? The procedure with railroad freight is for the manufacturer to place the goods aboard freight car, which may be on a side track on his premises-if not, then the goods must be trans ported to the railroad freight re- ceiving point Then the goods, in due time, start on their way, often heading first to classification yard When it arrives at the city of desti- nation it must be hauled by trucks 10 the door Of the buyer.
 Taken all in all, the railroad method may cost less. but the direct motor truck method usually Is far swifter.
 If the railroads could devise a sys- tenn of hauling goods from door to door, like the express company does, they would be able to compete with the motor trucks. How this can be done Is something for executives like Mr. Hannauer to attempt.
 Advice from q mere newspaper to an august and exalted railroad pres dent may be a bit of impertinence, etc, ,>but all the same, our advice is to do something of the sort before are diverted to motor trucks.
