 Fling back the hinged lid on tidy red tin of P. A. Breathe deeply of that rich, rare aroma, promise of wonderful taste to come. Tamp load flush with the brim and light up. Now you have it :. that taste .. that class-by-itself taste of Prince Albert!

Cool as Pike's Peak. Sweet and fra grant as breeze through a greenhouse. Fragrant and mild >. mildness that lets you smoke pipe-1oad after pipe-load, with never tongue-bite or a throat, parch. Yet with that full, rich body which you demand in smoke.
 Considered from any angle, Prince Albert is iimmy-pipe joy of the highest degree. Smoke it fast or smoke it slow. Smoke it after breakfast, right up to bed- time. It is always delightful, always friendly. If you don't know P. A., you don't know what your pipe can bring you.

KNOCKING OUT THE LAW

In order to get around an unpopu- lar law which Congress is too busy to repeal, it is sometimes necessary
 to resort to rechnicalities. Such a tochnicalty is that which permits the showing of fight films so long as they were not trans- ported between states by common carrier.
 In other words, Judge Goddard of the New York federal court has rul- cd that if fight films are brought into a state without the aid of a common carrier they can be shown legally.
 Thus the entire card fence against the showing Of fight films is broken down, as such films will be deemed valuable enough 10 be taken from state 10 state by messenger, which under this interpretation of the law Is legal.
 Without the aid or tcchnicaIities. of course, transportation of films Nonld include every manner of transportation. private as well as through common carriers. The judi rtaI interpretation Of he law now made. however, yields loopholo that makes the showing of such films an entirely legal process.
 II is just its we'll. The films were being shown weeks ago in some states, while in others the district attorneys were ncarly out of breath having about them, Such diversity of enforcement of the federal statute turned ii into farcc-like some other federal statutes.

TRUCKS DOWNTOWN

There IS no greater nuisance in the downtown section than big, lumber ing space-occupying trucks. Some of them, as the chief of police discov- cred to his surprise, prefer to pass through the downtown section when other streets would serve, while others haye defective and noisy ex- haust pipes which need attention and do not get it.
 Truck cases have occupied pub lie attention lately; a few of them were discovered to be overloaded, and 1t is to be hoped that police vigilance will discourage this prac tice.
 Alternative routes around the downtown section exist, although they are not as we'll paved as the main thoroughfafes through the center of the city. For this reason truck drivers will be so thoughtlcss as 10 inject their bulk into the al ready oFcrcroWded central zone.
 Truck owners who are Jealous in cooperating with the civic authori ties will of course be glad to give heed 10 the communications being sent cut by the police department.

 Tit into him" in the old original Vermont fashion, with nothing but short and crisp Anglo Saxon words used 10 portray the presidential wrath.
 Senator Fess needs calling down and we rather think he will feel bet ter for it. The gentleman has been going about as if in trance, enun- ciating Coolidge propaganda a S If he We're the presidential spokesman.
 The senator, however, still asserts he and the party cohorts he thinks he stands for will have nobody else for a presidential candidate except Coolidge, Wait until the deadlock commences" he says in effect, and the demand for Coolidge will be overwhelming and he will be nominated. Once nominated he can not have the heart to choose to re- fuse."
 Ii must he new experience for the grand old party 10 be considered so inadequate of presidential material as 10 possess Coolidge and none other.
 Why not nominate Fess?

STEPPING DOWN

i If Senator Watson Of Indiana sticks to his announcement that he doesn't choose to run again it will mean the certain elimination of one Of the most partyized men in Con- gross. The senior senator from h. diana is an old-time Republican of the boss type. His factional animos- lty 10 his former colleague, Senator New, resulted in the latter losing a | nomination and finding himself on the outside looking in, but this made him available as postmaster general and there he is. Senator Watson has failed to uphold the Coolidge stand , on farm relief because the senator is essentially politician and needed the farm votes.
 The Indiana senator is quoted as saying that none Of his friends is involved in the scandals centcring around the Klan disclosures" but that "a man must be loyal to his party" From this we obtain the in- formation that if mans party is in Volvel in scandal one must still be loyal to the party and thus abet the scandal.
 A better plan would be to lend ones influence toward purging the party, The senator threatens to step down, too, just when the voters Of his state are credited with being considerably disgusted with the type Of politicians they have harborcd.

URGES TEACHERS

Trinity President lnspirts h.
 structors to Improve Selves

Broadening their field of knowl- edge, carrying on research work in { their field, and developing operative | powers were three points stressed by President Remsen B. Ogilby of Trim | fly college in an address to mem hcrs of the New Britain Teachers club at a. banquet in the Burritt hotel last evening. The event was in the form of a welcome to new teach CTS in the city's service. Speaking of the first point he urged the teachers not 10 be con tent 10 be prepared simply 10 coi1- duet classes from day 10 day, but to broaden their field of knowledge and to have large background of learn ing.
 When each teacher carries on re- search in her own field, she keeps abreast of all the movements and trends of her subject, he said.
 Finally, he urged the teachers to develop their creative powers, in or der that this faculty may grow in them and be passed on to pupils who through attendance in school are 10 come in contact with their minds. Nature, books. and action or actiNi- ties, he said, were the means through which a teacher could receive aid in doing the three things he suggested.
 He hit at the metaphor by which a school or college is compared to factory. He mentioned references to classes as being 'raw ma terial' and June graduates as fin lShed products.
 Other speakers were Supt. Stanley II. Holmes. Miss Helen J. Bunce, of Camp school; Louis F. slade, principal Of the Senior High school: George NJ. Cassidy. director of physical education Of the Senior High school. and Harry Vessels, of the Nathan Hale Junior High school.
 Miss Mildred Weld, president Of the club, presided during the first part of the meeting. and then turned he meeting over to the toastmaster, William c. French of the Central Junior High school. READ HERALD CLASSIFIED ADS

BOSION'S LAST STAND

| Boston's mercantile interests ar,
 making last stand for eaualit,
 among American ports. Representa-
 tlves have appeared before the |
 S, Shipping Board as the last rcsor
 in upsettins the freight differcntia
 existing in favor Of Philadelphia anG
 Baltimore. The differential enables
 inland shippers to send freight
 abroad through those ports at q
 lower rate than through the port ot Boston.
 The question naturally arises: Can a differential on water equal a differential on rails" The rail route
 from the west to Philadelphia and i Baltimore is shorter than the rail
 route from the west to Boston. The
 water route from the two "sOutfern' cities to Europe. however, is longer than by way Of Boston.
 shipment by rails costs more than by water; thus if Boston has the longer rail route it naturally would cost more to ship goods that way.
 This is the attitude that was taken by the Interstate Commerce Com mission when it denied 'rolief' to Boston.
 Before the war equality of rates existed between Boston and it's conl- pcting ports; but at that time it was the southern ports which were set ting up the continuous howl for d ditferential Now t is Boston.
 If Boston wins it's fight before the |. $. Shipping Board and obtains equality of rates on governments owned vessels Il, southern ports will undoubtedly start the bowling where Boston leaves off.
 southern New England, Of course, is not idcntifiel with the con- trovorsy although there may be a sentimental siding with Boston in the controversy. Laying aside this however. one inevitably comes 10 the conclusion that in rail- and-Wat"r shipping. the ports with the shortest rail haul will naturally possess tn" lowest through rates. Boston prldes itself on being closer to Europe than Philadelphia and Haltimoro-but Portland, Me, and l'alifdN, are even near to the other side. It follows that the ports with the longest rail rates inland are at q disadvantage, because of the higher cost of shipping by rail.
 As long as it costs less to shin goods from Boston to san Francisco by water through the Panama canal than by rail across the con- tin"ut, the cities which are furthest inland will possess an advantage in sLtppns goods abroad. That is inc id"a underlying tue proposed con strH"fion of the St, Lawrence uater- Way-to give midwest lake cities q long water haul to Europe The idea Is to say" OH tn" longer and hig"r- Is to save on the lcngor and higher
