Messrs. Warren and Nurnberger
were bachelor hosts Wednesday night

was enroute to Flagstaff, taking the
Frank Wyatt car on top of his truck,

the history and customs of the pTilnI-
tive Navajo. The doctor came into
this territory several weeks ago with
a party of nine, most of whom com
fined their sightseeing to a trip to
Rainbow Bridge Not being satisfied
with witnessing but portion OF the
wonders of the country the doctor
alone remained over when the crowd
departed and she has driven about
with only her faithful dog for COM
pany and makes camp wherever night
fall overtakes her. She is surely col
lecting a fund of valuable flrst-hand
information.
Will G.. Davidson, travelling for the
Miller Hat Co. of Denver, spent Fri

MORE POPULATION ESTIMATES

So far we have listed three or canizations which have been an nouncing population estimates for Connecticut cities:
 1. The federal census bureau.
 ,. The state board Of education. 2. The state board of health.
 Fortunately there are numerous other state board which must be qualified to lend a hand in this wholesome and diverting endeavor. Tor instance, why not estimates from the state board of accountancy the board Of agriculture, the board of fisheries and game, the state board of healing arts. the board of civil engineers, the board on avi- alton, the chiropractic examiners, the examiners of barbers and the board of pardons.
 There ought to be at least dozen boards making population estimates.
 And even then the general confu- sion would not be worse confounded than 1t Is at present.

NAMES POLITICAL SHOW

For three years the political fences in Maine have been undeh going repairs--cver since the sum- mer Of 1924, when Ralph O. Brew ster turned over the apple cart of the Republican organization and seized the party's nomination for governor.
 Governor Brewster has been look ing higher ever since. He had his eye on the |. s. Senate, and Fred erick Hale. one of the present in cumbents from the Pine Tree state. has known all about it.
 Both men have been keeping in prime condition, holding their ears to the ground, keeping chummy with the newspaper boys and getting things in the papers as often as op- portunlty allowed
 Governor Brewster failed to sur prise his fellow citizens the other day when he formally announced he would be a candidate for the scnatorship nomination next June, when he will oppose Senator Hale. the regular Republican candidate.
 If nominated and elected it would be Senator Hole's third term in the Senate. Governor Brewster thinks two terms Is enough for Hale.
 Senator Hales lieutenants have been trying to impress citizens with his accomplishments In the Senate and the important place he holds in that body. He is chairman of the naval affairs committee, which was obtained through seniority.
 Just now q wave of criticism Is engufing the navy, from Secretary Wilbur down 10 the Senate naval af- fairs committee; if not down lower. The S-4 horror seemingly has con- vinccd many citizens that the navy is not all it ought to be.
 At this psychological moment" GoverEcr Brewster comes fl tn with a statement he will run for Inc Sen ate nomination, and let's it be known he doesn't like the way the navy has been conducted,
 'Rah for Brewster, hope he will win.

AS TO WATER RENTS

Opposition to higher water rents IS natural; and it will continue to be quite pronounced. The water board wants to make certain elaborate i'm provements and additions; has been looking forward to these things for some years. But tho board of finance and taxation has been opposed.
 The city will look favorably upon any plan having as it's object the continued growth of the water sys- tenn so that there will be an ample supply of water for the future. But the city must be careful not 10 bite off more than it can chew or is good for the municipal digestion.
 New water bonds this year totallcd approximately so5o,ooO, 10 be used for filtration plant, an auxiliary distribution system, and improve ments generally. The money is not vet spent as the work has not been started, This ought to be enough for the present.

the vicinity, and somebody found q rope in a barn or cellar nearby. the lad was beyond aid.
 Which leads to the inquiry: Why is emergency equipment not at hand on the shores of lakes and streams in the towns of Connecticut?
 The expense would be slight; and the presence of ladders, hooks and ropes suspended upon posts near every skating pond. swimming hole or along river bank where sport is popular would be constant re- hinder that the towns are interest cd in saving life.
 Every town and city In Connecti- cut needs such equipment. The lad in Hartford could have been saved had there been such equipment nearby. Other similar instances are constantly occurring.

POSTAL<.iNINGN

When the postal eayinga banks rero established years ago 1t was thought by reformers that the syS- tem would he very popular.
 Numerous savings banks looked upon the innovation with alarm. They regarded it as governmental banking, governmental competition.
 The postal savings banks have been with us long enough to gauge their value to the public and their tailrre to compete with the rcular banks.
 Their main function seems 10 be 10 lure moIrey from socks and eel lar banks. such citizens who in the good old days didn't trust regular banks but preferred 10 trust . tin can hidden under the wood pile have sn opportunity 10 improve their techuic. A reduction iu postal say ines deposits in New Britain. how nrcr. at time when other Sarinen deposits havc increased, would in dlcats that the faith in regular banks has increased.
 The total sum Of postal savings in New Britain being only S$",Sli, it is elementary To determine that it meane less than 50 cents per capita. We have been wondering whether there is not nor money than that sill saltrd away under loose boards,
New Britain herald., 1927-12-30
N\ IDhOBIII W AR

The automobile manufacturers have beel trying 10 tell us that there would be no automobile war during 1928. Not at all. What is going to take place is competition on 'h" basis of y.ryico 10 the public, etc.
 What they intend doing, however. is to compete so strongly that war are ie the only word,
 Which will not greatly disturb the innocent bystauders. And a price var in the automobile business may not harm the companies any more than it vii harm inc public. We not d with surprise, for instance, that one manufacturer claims that in spite of the much lower prices "N- pected his concern win make jG per cent more profit
 Sounds ctrcusy.

THE WILSON PRIZES

The effort Of the Woodrow Wilson Foundation to obtain a worthy biographical essay on the life of the war president evidently has failed. The fact that s52. .0oO in prizes had been hung up indicates that the foundation was serious about at tempting to locate q great literary effort: but not one of the numerous essays submitted were deemed worthy Of any Of the prize money.
 Perhaps the foundation wanted q special sort of essay which no. one else was prepared to produce. Per haps 1t wanted--but who knows exactly what 1t wanted? It is diff cult to believe that of all the literary college presidents and similar gentry In the United States there IS not one able to write the kind of essay the foundation would have been willing to pay for in prize money.
 The fault probably lay with the foundation.
