THE CHORAL CONCERT
 TOMORROW

The New Britain Choral society is one Of these local institutions which works efficiently with very little public acclaim. For years it has aeen giving annual choral concerts upon the highest possible standard, importing all orchestra from Boston an employing a conductor Of promi- hence in Connecticut This year the same program will be followed, ex- cept that instead of 9 standard ora torio, a mixed program will be given.
 such an effort is a credit to the community As is well known, 1t Is not a paying venture; the society cannot possibly lay aside tidy sum as the result Of its efforts. The sing CTS, 156 strong, attend weekly re- hearsols for several months give their services free of sharse' and are well satisfied if the ultimate eli max Is d successful concert from the standpoint Of attendance and a knowledge that there nearly vas TO deficit.
 The public has come 10 regard the choral society concert as the high water mark of musical cDdeavor in the city every year Although the orchestra is from Boston and the soloist from New York, the event is regardel,as a purely local affair be- cause Of the singers who make up the choral mass.
 It would be an evil day for the musical life Of the country if the local choral societies found it i'm possible to proceed. In spite of con- ditions which make il difficult to proceed in some cities, New Britain remains fortunate in possessing the i public spirit which makes it possible to give q major choral effort every year. In this city of 10000 with a constantly increasing population, it should remain possible to continue along these lines in the future, al- though this will depend greatly upon | r.e,,It
 Officials Of the Choral society arc 10 be commended for their constant efforts in behalf of the city: the, 1 are upholding a tradition that chor. al singing is highly hencficia method of propagatins musical in. telligencc, of maintaining mnsica interest and engendering communit!
 pride in local musical endaaFor
 When q city can produce a high
 class choral concert, with higl
 class orchestra and top-notch solo
 isl. it cannot be considered other
 wise than as 9 feather in it's ar'is
 lie raiment, The carefully solecte'
 compositions which will be givel this year. when interpreted in th highly effective way it Is 10 b done. otTlt to insure the most sue ccssfuI concert in the society's his tory Every booster for New Brit aims prestige will join in holpin

THAT RADIO "BI /I

"Interfercnce," the radio writers call il; what the readers ot the stuff the radio writers write call 1t cannot be mentioned in polite so- cialy, at least. not in the columns ot a family newspaper.
 The Connecticut Light d, Power company informs us it has had men ar work trying to discover wheih- sr any Of its multifarious trans formers. wires. or parapherualia generally is "leaking' but without avail. Reports that the buzz-sa" originates at the power sub-statIon on Corbin avenue have bcon run down repeatedly, but nothing can De found wrong with the machinery SO it is said. All the same, the pow CT company gets complaints 10 ''cnme and fix the wircz' with m easing regularity. usually resulting in one of these luemen, who looks like q mechanical lamberjack, in- spac,ing the wires in the nelghbor- hood where the uzz-compl9iner re- sides. It's 8 hard life.
 Another supposjuon Is that when therc is an emergency operation in inc hospital-or any other kind of an operation -- mechanical con- triqarces arc set in motion which oreatas an electrical "iA3uction' in the air. which is just pie for the super-sensitivo radio tubes. But ihis. like all the other theories, is #ust q zuppoeition, IL is one Of those things. like the query whether life .Ets.s on Mars. that nobody can definitely determine. At any rate, radjo listeners, being human, are wiling to stand for some buzzing fit is helping some unfortunate on ua operating table.
 Then there is the allegation al- trgsI in some quarters that tha nigh. shifts in one or inc other Of he industrial plants in the city use machines that create the unearthly radio notses Seeing that inc rumpus Tor all the world sounds like Inc ap- plication of saving or welding ma chine agaias, iron or steel h' theory at least looks plausible, Th' man who can prove the theory however has not yet been found.

MOTORS IN JERSEY

New Jersey apparently is taking no lessons at all from Connecticut, despite the propensity of Nutmeg politicians to hold up the state as model for the universe. Governor Moore, in vetoing the bill for q gas- oline tax in the Skccter state, held it unnecessary. The bill included an- other feature that the governor did not approve of-thc exemption Of motor vehicles from municipal as- sessment. l. apparently is the belief Of the New Jersey executive that the municipalities, and not the state, are entitled 10 some income from motor vehicles. In this viewpoint he agreed perfectly with the munici- palities, who demand self-rule as to income from motor taxes.
 Another Jersey idea that is dia- metrically opposed 10 the currcnt political belief in Connecticut is noted in the signature by the gov ornor Of the bill allowing bond is- sue of S3o,1o0,00 for ,hc construc- ton of more improved highways. The plan Of the state is to raise $l40, 0,ooo,0oo, and the bin just signed is only one of others for the issuance of bonds. We do not expect to hear of New Jersey going broke following these bond issues; but it no doubt will far surpass Connscti- cut in good roads in a few years
 Tn connection with the gasoline tnx the governor made the follow ing statement, which Nutmeggers can debate for all it is worth. Y do not believe in the prin- ciple Of q gasoline tax. The ten dencv in other States has been continually to increase il, as, for
 
 | al tax of 9 cents is now cents: in Idaho if was cents. now 1 cents; In New Mexico it was 3 cents, now cents; in Wyoming it is now g cents, formerly cl2 cents. and the same seems 10 be
 true Of several other States. Then. too. if well to consider upon whom the tax will fall The manufacturer will not pay
 it: it will add to tho cost of his
 product The farmer will not
 pay if because, naturally. he
 will add it to the cost Of his pro
 turo. The 'radesman will. in turn, add it 10 the cost Of his
 stock. and the tax will fall upon
 the man who has TO one els" upon whom 10 visit the burden and thus he will not only pay his own tax, but also will be
 shoulderod with the tax of those
 quoted above"

 university.
 Miss Anglin avoided playing roles
 behind the footliehts which she
 could not play in life. In 1911 she
 lett the employ Of Liebler & Co.
 when she was asked to play q char
 actsr which she did not approve. Explaining her stand, she said: "I decided that I could not act the part Of sinful murderous woman with justice 10 myself. The character Of this woman was repulsive 10 me-" There is the nub Of the situation today. If there were more women Of Miss Anslin's type engaged ill the time honored profession Of the -hoater the stage would be cleaner. and more wholesome. There would be no need Of play juries and po- 1 lice interference. The dirt" show ! would be non-oXistent.
 Reform. 10 be effective, should come from within the theaters. 1 Laws cannot eliminate smut from ! the staee--it would creep in despite 1 the greatest prccaution. If the men i and women Of the stage would real
 ize that theirs is q noble vocation. 1 inc theatrical situation would right l itself, Actors and actresses have only 1 themselves 10 blame for conditions i today. They can no longer claim that 1 the public wants an orgy of foul | plays. If they would stand firmly ! in defense Of their art and refuse ] to do the bidding Of interruptions 1 managers. the money mongers of ] Broadway would soon right about
