Defective drivers rather than de feCtiyc automobiles are blamed by Police Chief William C. Hart as re- sponsihlc for accidents. and the head of New Britain police force doubts if much benefit will result from the proposed new law giving the state police authority to rule junk cars off the roads. This law, sponsored by the commissioner of motor vehicles, will, if passed. give the state police authority to pass on the condition of autom obiles presented for registration and re- fuse to register those deemed un- safe.
 Faulty lighting, defective brakes. weak tires liable 10 cause blow outs, loose steering apparatus. and general debility are among the de- fleets which the projected measure seeks 10 correct. These arc believed by the state authorities to he re- sponsible for fully four per cent of the many accidents which occur each year throughout Connecticut, as well as much inconvenience on the roads.
 Chief Hart disagrces with the state authorities on this point and says that, as far as New Britain is concerned. defective cars cause few accidents and probably none at all. Most smash-ups are created. he states. by inattcntion Of the drivers. ' He is q champion of the socond-

 There is one of them dancing with short girl. Is that square smile on his face frozen? Here's another member of the gang, q good dancer, too. What, Is he bald headed ? Always dances with the same girls, they say.
 Here's another coming around the side of the hall. It's the first encore and he's been around eight times already. Who's that fellow over on the sidelines and what is he ask ing each girl in that line Of be Oh. Some poor fellow with a lot of determination but with no ''It?"

Why not advertise the city more? Outside of hardware dealers ali through the country, people are still apt to look blank when one men, tions New Britain as his home town, An advertising campaign might help.
 Notices such as the following posted in tho prominent magazines would do much towards making the city a summer and winter resort and bringing the tourist trade which summers at Tcrryvillc into our midst.
 SEE THE FIREWORKS.' With tie inauguration Of a brand new several thousand dollar traffic sig nal system, New Britain is prepared to offer the summer visitor daily and nightly exhibitions of colorcd lighting effects unparalleled through out the eastern section of the Coun-
 try. To the amazing vista of a myriad of changing red, orange and green lights is the constant accom- panment of traffic cops whistles and rotating whito gloves which completely bewilder the visitor and present q scene which is not easily forgotten. COME TO NEW BRIT AIN.

Ruth / Says Misn1ated
Life Brought Ruin

) Warden Lewis e. Lawea an.
nounced last night that more than
200 of these missives, addressed
to the blonde Queens Village
slayer, arrived at the prison yes
terday.
Some condemn the murderess for
her reported conversion to the
Catholic faith. others Iaud her
newly taken stand on religious
matters and wish her well.
Since Mrs. Snyder indicated. her
leaning toward Catholicism last
Monday when. on her ride from the
Queens county jail in Long Island
City to the death house, she car.
ried a set of rosary beads given
her by the Rev. George 3. MUIR.
ply, the jail chaplain, there has
been much speculation on the
seriousness of her intentions.
The Rev. Mr.. McCafferty. Catholi6
chaplain at Sing Sing, had q tax
with Mrs. Snyder on the day Of
her arrival, and reported the
young matron in good spirits. but
refused to indicate whether she had
expressed a desire to embrace the
Catholic faith.
1t is felt to be a fact in official
circles that cannot be named here,
however. that Mrs. SNYDER even.
tually will be accepted into the
Catholic religion.
Asked about the content OF the
mail received by the blonde husband
killer, Lawes said:

Further doubt that the wreckage
