FIRST NICKEIODEO\

SO the Scenic thcatcr, the city's
first ickelodeon," is to pass at
last. No one needs to be an old
timer" to remember when it was
first opened, for that event occurred
no longer ago than in 1907. What
a wonderful scientific Advancement
it was, the projection of pictures
that moved. How the astounded
populaCo flockod to the place, eager
to sec for themselves whether such
o thing was possible. and also eager
to partake OF the drama unfolded
by tin-type photography.
It is remarkable indeed that the
Scenic, first of the moving picture
places in the city remained in exist
cncc until the present day. As was
the custom in those days, the thea-
ter was fixed up" in a store room
Such economy is now no longer
known: indeed, in that day most of
the budding nickelodcon owners
We're cX-store keepers, who took TO
the theater business while under the
impression it Offered an opportunity
tor quicker gains. Usually it did.
OF course, as the cX-store keepers
became more prosperous in the
theator business they quickly met
the popular demand ANA enhanced
their shoWhousos uutil in a few
years few any longer had the ap-
pcarance of transmogrifiod store
fronts; they looked like moving pic

know them, although as the business

That transformation. however. went

Il; il remained for years a survival
OF the pioneer days OF the industry,
a reminder that the picture houses
began at the lowest rung of the lad

high state by degrees.
Now the Scenic is to return to its
pristine appearance, store. During
the 20 years Of its existence il
served its purpose. In that tin'

TORD'S RETAILING SCHEME

There IS nothing marvellous at all
in Henry Ford's method OF selling
merchandise at exceedingly low
prices during his war with Detroit
store keepers. Stores such as Ford
is maintaining, which deal only in
a restricted supply of goods, give
no service whatever and having
nothing on shelves which does not
move quickly. naturally can sell
chcaply- especially with a billion
aire as the financial angel if cal
culations turn out wrong.
Such business methods, however,
is not serving the public. The pub
lie has a right to expect to buy what
it wants when it wants II. and OK
poets storckeepers to be stocked
with more goods than the ordinary
quick selling essentials
The decision OF Ford today to dis
continue his warfare against legiti-
mate shopkeepers by combining his
sales to Ford employees only will
alleviate the situation greatly. Even
these, when they desire something
special will need to have recourse
to the other channels of trade.

General Chang despite his friend

to assist in militarizing his armies,

are some about him, however. who
are radical, who would regard the

TEN YEARS AGO

Ten years ago there was an I'M
dercurrent OF intense excitement in
New Britain. On that day the first
troops to leave the city for th"
Great War embarked in railroad
trains. headed for an unannouncod
destination.
No trumpetings or raradcs ac-
companied the departure. Tho boys
left rather quietly, as the govern
ment desired. But they were leav-
ing. citizens generally know of t.
and there was much of that grip
ping leaye-taking that accompanies
such episodes in the life Of man.
The boys left lcht-hcarted. Thcv
realized fully that they were not to
take part in frolic or picnic, bur
hat Stern business lay ahead They
realized completely that some OF
them would never return: tEa, 9TH
RS would depart from the city

.'4o would not return. Yet they

APPARENT i\JU SIlCE

II is being pointed out that the
Baumcs laws in New York are un-
lust because one Max Rosen, con-
victed of knowingly receiving stolen
goods. got a sentence OF 20 years
instead of SIX because years ago he
had been convicted OF another
serious oflense Had the new laws
not existed he merely would have
served six years as it is, he auto
maticaly drew % years, not for the
crime for which he was convicted,
but because it was Il second convic-
ton.
Such apparent hardships are
bound to accrue under any attempt
to put the screws down on crime.
The point not to be overlooked.
however, is that Eoscn should have
had sense enough, after having
once been convicted of serious
crime, not to play with fire again.
That is exactly what the Baumes
laws are to prevent. The fault lay
primarily with the culprit. not with
the law. The way to avoid such APP
parent injustice is not to fool with
the buzz saw OF the law.

NEW HAVEN'S FINANCES

The story regarding the financial
revival of the New York, New Hav-
en- and Hartford railroad referred to
the increased net income of 1926
over 1925. It was the annual report,
issued in pamphlet form. 1t did
not allude to the income since Jan
uary Of this year. That is another
story.
The monthly reports OF the rail-
road indicate there has been a def
cit since January I Of s444, 066.43,
the net income showing a sub
stantial reduction. The railroad
saved considerable money on snow
removal this winter, due to The
mild weather, but spent a large
sum in the laying of heavier rails
"A sum which otherwise would
have been expended during the
summer months. The failure Of the
Central New England railroad TO pay
a dividend Topped off s177.229 from
the anticipated income, the New
Haven owning nearly all OF that
railroads stock and lately being al
lowed TO merge it with itself
or course, the finances Of a rail-
road for two month-thc March
record not yet having been made
public--is no criterion of what the
figures viii say for the current year.
The fortunes of the New Haven arc
so bound up with what is termed
non-operating income--income from
lines it does not itself operate but
in which il owns sccnrities-that
what the network OF railroad trac ks
known as the New Haven brings in
does not necessarily cover its entire
prosperity. II the New Haven were
