r. tho football game between the New Britain high school and the Hartford high school $ played in New Britain this fall more than 10000 people, ~I,hou, a doubt, will want 10 be on hand to hurrah about ir. But it Is heelnuinE to look doubt tul whether the hufrahing will take place in this city.
 Willow Brook parks football field, h'e2chors, and the whole foot ball equipment generally there, at present is deemed inadequate to supply 'ha stage setting for so large crowd. The Suggestion has been made to hold the big annual game on a neutral field. where the seating capacity would be sufficient to ac- commodate the hurra ahers. The new Nelodrone at East Hartford is be- ing mentioned as the logical loca- tion' for the big local game.
 So far as We are concerned this would be entirely out of place. The g,me is not due to be played in Hartford this year, and East Hart ford, for enc thing, is too much like playing it there to suit local fans. In the second place, the playing Of the game in New Britain has cer- tain economic aspects which local business interests are entitled to en- joy this fall. In addition, there is the psychological aspect Of having the home team tackle it's rival on the home teams grounds. this year be- ing it's turn to enjoy this advantage.
 To place Willow Brook park in condition to accommodate the crowds will cost a littla money. Sooner or later it will have to be done and il may as well be done this summer so as 10 have the field in shape for the fall.

WOMEN ON .Jt RES

How many women in the state really want the privilege" Of sorv- ing on juries? Nobody knows. But if one were to take the word of the organized proponents Of the plan one would conclude that the entire fair sex ou masse wants 10 do its bit on juries
 Let it be said right here that we are in favor of permitting women to function on iuries if they want 10 do SO. The average woman is just as capable q juror as the average man, as has heen proven in such states where they enjoy the privileges of acting in this capacity. Right now there are six women on the jury settling the sapiro-Ford libel case in Detroit.
 Hut there IS d doubt in the minds of many citizens whether Counecti- cut women really wish 10 serve on
 urics. Unfortunately. in spite Of our proceased democracy, they are inaricuiat". 1T is given 10 the LeEis- lature to pass such a law if it ap- pears the women want it. but tho legislator, know just as little about the sentiment of women as the average citizen; which means, they know nothing at all about H. The fact that persons identified with organizations come before the com ml'ae does not mean that they repr"saut the general sentiment Of women.
 Most men do not like 10 serve on luriag; women are even loss adapt ed to the ordeal than men. House wives or the mothers Of growing children may be found particularly aycrse to such duties. and they us uaily are excused for the good and sufficient reasons they can give, and no doubt in some states where women are likely 10 be called upon for such duties are not expected 10 serve under the law. If such q law were passed in Connecticut the privilege of serving on luries would devolve upon professional women and the minority of women who

 Whatever the intent" Of tho constitutional convention was, ii is how they got it down on paper and how it has been interpreted that counts.
 When the 1Sth amendment was under discussion the speaker Of the House held that the Constltu- ton required only two-thirds Of the assembled congressman to pass up- on f. And so it was done,
 Since that time the [, S. Supreme court has ruled similarly. That ought to settle it.

PAVING NO ISSII.

The attempt 10 make a political issue out of street paving does not meet with the approval of citizens generally. The majority in the city administration. through is "spolies- men," have lot it De known that inasmuch as the business of paw ing streets by the board of public works was started during the last Democratic administration. the present Democrats in the Common Council have no business Kicking about continuing the practice.
 This would be a logical deduction If street paving were politics and nothing else but, What the citizens are more interested In than the incidental politics is good street paving at the lowest possible costs. Ii makes 10 difference what kind of an administration started any par ticnlar policy; fl the policy Is found defective it of right ought 10 be abandoned or modified, Ii is no, B question of politics, but Of ecouom- les.
 Nobody cares who puts down the street paving so long as 1t is done properly and at the lowest cost. The plan to have private contractors compete with the city to the eE- lent Of offering bids vas a good one: the plan at least would have served to check the work of the city and might have had an educational value. II vas turned down solely ou political grounds; nobody except the politicians in the Common Council seems 10 be interested in the political phases Of such d question.
