\ NEW ROAD TO MAIIREI.KY

Confidence exists in Waterbury that by next summer work will be in progress upon a new Southington mountain road, thus removing what at present is one of the most unsat- isfactory routes in this section Of Connecticut.
 The state highway department seems 10 be moving swiftly in this direction, bids for the new highway having been received. Tho contract is expected to be let shortly. Work should start Tn the spring. It is possible that the new r@.1 will be completed by the end of Text sum- mor.
 New Britainiros heading toward Waterbury by motor have had evil experiences along the present moun- tain road, Not only has the road pttn lh" scene or serious accidents. but its Windin&s have caused a consensus that the route is to be avoided in favor of more roundabout highways.
 The new highway will eliminate tho present currus and will reduce many Of the grades. The present road is q reminder Of road d-building al a time in New England when the nature of the highway made Mtle difference so long as it eventually got there,
 A now highn ny over Southington mountain will not only benefit Wa torbury, but will add to the comfort of motorists throughout this section Of Connecticut. The sooner it is cons plrtel the more tue public will ap- prociatc it.

STEEL CORPORATIONS NEW MANAGEMENT

In a sense the thrce-corncr stone management adopted by the |. S. Steel Corporation is an experiment i'll American big business. The three successors to the late Judge Gary approximate the efforts which for wars Judge Gary contributed to the organization, J. P. Morgan will not be an executive officer, merely pre- siding at the bank meetings. Actual operation of the organization de- wolves on James !, Farrell for years president of the corporation and the right hand man of Judge Gary.
 It appears from the reorganiza- ton that Farrell will be the real head of the steel corporation so far as it's practical operation details are affected Tho addition of Morgan and Myron C. Taylor, financier, upon the governing staff will be more fin the nature of representing various interests i'll the management.
 Although FarrclI's duties will be under the direction and supervision of thc hOnrl of directors and finance comInilt"r-r all three posts having previously he"n held by Judge Gary at the same timc-it is likely that jh"ro will be little to direct or su- porVisc by these committees. Far Icll'S long Identification with tho management of the company prob ably will call for lttlc direction elsewhere. of the three now stand ing virtually al the head of the cor roratlon, he represents cNperi"nced management and practical cxprri- nre.
 There Is les of d captain of in 1uStry flavor In the new plan, how ever. In outlining broad general poli- cics 1t is probable that the trio will

be equally puissant. equally effec- tive. In applying the policies decid- ed upon, however, Farrell will be more or less supreme. He is in line for whatever credit or blame the future may hold in store.
 The new arrangement enhances the power of Morgan, already world- wide. There is scarcely any large un- dertaking nowadays. from begging foreign currencies, establishment of gold standards, or exercising Watchful eye over domestic concerns, that Morgan is not mentioned, To term him a modern Napoleon of finance is vastly undertaking his accomplishments.

CONpLINENTING THE CITY

New Britain is getting used to compliments. The latestn to Ire re- ,eivel, from the Public Utilities Commission, has 10 do with the cur rent opinion hereabouts that the center of the city should not be un- necessarily cluttered up with motor coaches or trolley cars.
 Perhaps the commission did not refer 10 trolIeys, but they do just as much cluttering as the buses. Both .hc buses and the trol"ys have been using the Center as free terminal, for the convenience of the public" but greatly to the ln- convenience of traffic,
 We have been plugging away at this. problem for q year, greatly to the irritation of the interests which thus holI sway at the streets sur rounding the triangle. It is matter of satisfaction that officials have taken up the gauntlet also, and that TOW thr P. |. C. comments the ef- for:s. Something worthNh hilc may yet happen; perhaps the first five years of agitation may be the hard -st but victory will intimately perch on the siae of sense and logic.
 Tn the case of the New England Transportation company scheme 10 run q motor coach line 10 the rail- road staticn from Pennington the situation is someV hat more ccmpli- cated. Our previous remarks still hold good but il is to he remember cd that a bus terminal at the rail- read station is iust the sort of thing that should he encouraged. such 8 terminal is a vast improvement to making q terminal of Central square,

Not 10 be out done, the lover gained admission to the grounds of the castle and played his lute beneath her window and sang to her in tales which ne knew she would translate readily. In this tale he told her to slip from her window at q certain time of night and he would contrlVe to throw her a rope which she was to fasten to battlement and let herself down into his arms. The call was sounded, the maid caught the rope thrown to her by her lover but fastened it insecurely so that she fell to the stones beneath the win. dow and was killed. Her body was then and there changed to a wall flower, so a new form of beauty ap- peared where one more prized had been.
