WHEN "SCORCHERS'
WE'RE PESTS

Nothing quite provides the mental
relaxation as breath from the
past-to read of the peculiar do
ings" OF former generations and
comparing them with conditions as
they exist today. The story in the
Herald recently, detailing how in
the old bicycle days. scorchers
made life unpleasant for pedcs-
TRANS crossing West Main street.
and the bicycle paths" which the
state provided alongside the regu-
lar highways, was one of this class.
In those days Connecticut was one
of the first states in the Union. and
one of the very few which provid-
ed the bicycle paths along the high
ways These were to protect the
"scorchcrs" from the hazards Of
dumping into horse drawn vehicles,
''ilN ~ SiNc lilt SptcuS DICS Gle llu'IS
4 chance to do their stuff without
being Inconvenience by the slower
vehicles along the highways. This
sounds almost ridiculous NOWADAYS
but 1t must be remembered that
horse drawn vehicles were very nu-
merous in those days and cycle rid
ers actually did need paths of their
own to keep up with their speed
schedules--especially when going
down hill. When pushing" up hill
it was another story, the horses usu-
ally could get up the steep Connect
cut hills easier and with more speed
In fact, the bicyclists usually got
off and vailed" up the long steep
grades.
We laugh at many of the things
they did IN those days: but isn't it
fact that bicycle riding was an en-
ceedingly healthful sport? That the
man who pedalled frequently was
not apt to suffer from an expansive
paunch? That he was indulging
himself in healthy form of excr-
else which it is hard to duplicate in
these days of sitting behind a steer
ing wheel and permitting motor
TO do the work?
In those days folks knew less
about calories and vitamines; all
they needed to know was that a
long hard grind" over the roads
was a very good way to work up a
fine appetite and build up strong
muscles and a hardy constitution.

Q. Is the sea-level of the Allan.
tic ocean at the Panama Canal lower
or higher than it is on the Pacific
ocean side of the canal?
A. There are great technical
difficulties in determining relative
sea levels. from the best observations
that have been made by the United
States coast and geodetic survey. ii
has been determined that the per-
manent sea level of the Atlantic
ocean at the Panama Canal is ap-
proXimately half a foot lower than
the ocean on the Pacific side OF the
canal.
@. How many transcontinental
railroads are there in the United
States?
A. Actually there are no trans
railroads in the United
States. The Canadian National and
the Canadian Pacific are the only
real transcontinental railroads in
North America. The Union Pacific,
Great Northern. Southern Pacific,
and Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
are called transcontinental railroads
although they only make connec-
tions with eastern roads and thereby
form a complete line between the
Atlantic and Pacific coasts.
@. What is the highest governing
body in the Soviet Republic and who
is its head?
A. 1t is the Council Of Peoples
Commissare. Alexis !. Rykov 10 the
chairman Of the council.

part it Is - miles vide.
The Suez Canal, 100 miles long. was
1SS9-1S6s.

nent control?
A. The Indian reservations are

OF course, he will have nothing to

this is the exclusive function OF the
Legislature-but the revision is in
tended to make them more easily
found. species of codifcation
which is necessary ever so often.
What is needed even more than
this is the elimination OF some Of
the old laws which are never en-
forced-but this also would be the
Job of the Legislature, which can
act upon any report to this effect
which might be made by the COM
mittee to the next Legislature.

THE CONTROL BOARD

Governor Trumbull has acted in a
careful manner in the selection Of
members for the newly formed
board OF control and finance One
might say with justification that d
governor naturally would act with
care in the selection of such a per-
sonnet, but sometimes politics are
the governing factor in such things.
The governor has at least played a
minimum of politics in this matter.
and that is something in his favor
We rather think the governor.
realizing that the board was created
in accordance with his own ideas on
the subject, realized the Importance
Of naming undisputcd financial ex-
perts upon it. those with a minimum
Of political veneer upon them pre-
ferred.
Thus John NJ. Wadhams of
Goshen, whose name has been
prominently identified with state
politics In the past, is not on the
new board. although he functioned
prominently upon the finance
board for several years; and E. Kent
Hubbard, also we'll known politically
and otherwise, is not on it. Instead
we have such lesser known political
lights-if in fact they show any
glow at all politically-as Elwyn T.
Clark OF Haddam, Senator Samuel
r. Spencer of Suffield. and William
A. Hendricks of East Haven. Senator
Edward r. Hall OF New Britain, the
chairman, is decidedly more of a
financial wizard than political
wizard no one ever thinks of his
party when his name is mentioned.
The board is a strong one and
should function we'll. Knowing our
fellow townsman's ways quite well,
we are sure about it.

LURING US AWAY

In every railroad station in Con-
necticut at the present time are
large posters, with pictures and
maps on them designed TO lure the
vacation-seeking individual to some
neishboring state.

Everything from CLAIMS to dives in
the surf af Narragansett bay are
pictured on the maps of these post

Manifestly If the railroad could
induce 4 large percentage of poten-
tial tourists to visit Little Rhody it
would be a good thing for railroad
passenger income.
In Rhode Island, however. the
joys of Rhode Island. we are willing
to wager, are not advertised. What
is being advertised there are the
attractions along other points OF the
railroads lines-perhaps the jobs of
Connecticut, its shoreline, hills.
mountains streams. lakes.
The idea is to impress folk with
the fact that the best time can be
had somewhere else.
That isn't always the case. How

CHAMBERLAIN AS 4 DRINkER

Perhaps it is too bad that car
ence Chamberlin drank a glass OF
PiIsener in Berlin. Or perhaps II
isn't too bad. 1t all depends upon
whether one happens TO be VOL
steadian wherever one happens TO
he or whether one is of the opinion
that the Volstead act does not need
to bind an American in Berlin.
The W. C. I. L. and kindred Or
carnations are greatly shocked al

ing a glass of beer in Berlin. The

lean law prohibits rather cnrles

HOLES In THE STREETS

Fancy that being said in New

we're told; people are more interest

The idea was wrong. We are still
