A Specific Explanation Of
Good Printing at a "Moderate'
Price
CAN GOOD PRINTING BE BOUGHT AT
MODERATE PRICE? IF SO, HOW?
he term "moderate-priced" printed will create a
picture in your mind. This picture may differ from
the picture trying to create and from that
of other buyers You may think of moderately priced
printing many thousand printing impressions,
done in fairly presentable manner, bought COM
pettve basis and given to of the low bidders This
at least is widely accepted version.
If your vision of the competition your printed piece
must meet has been clarified by study and observation
you will have slightly different picture. You will think
of "moderateprced printing as many thousand per-
feet impressions, from carefully -elected engravngs,
good paper and bought at price that nsures fair
profit for the printer For fair profit that guaran
tees the rest.
If you have still broader vision of the possible
onoies in the purchase and of printing, will
have still different picture of moderate priced print
ing. You will pick printer you pick man for
sponsble job You will find who is leader in his
industry whose work is outstanding, whose ability is
unquestionable You will discuss with him your print
ing needs period of time You will work out your
printing program with him. You will buy fine print
ing but you will find that because of economies made
possible through careful planning because OF the fact
that the printed pieces produced result of this plan
ming exactly suited to your needs the price is mod
crate to degree that makes the work of the lowest OF
the bidders seem costly

STORM WATER

This Willow Brook controversy
mas interesting features ana
the city faces the possibility of
running into increased expenditures
to dispose of the storm water now
allowed to flow into the brook. The
court controversy again calls atten-
ton to the fact that the disposal Of
storm waters remains as imperfect
as it ever was. Nothing is heard OF
this between storms; but whenever
there is a splash greater than usual
some of the streets turn into minia-
ture rivers.
At time when there are a multi
tude of pressing needs facing the
city it naturally is reluctant to
tackle anything that can be laid
over to another year, but the brick
company suit against the city may
have the effect of forcing earlier
action in some particulars than is
anticipated. It depends, OF course,
upon who finally wins the litigation.
SO far it is an even break.

BUILDING OPERATIONS

So We are to have another build

is the suppositIon following the an
nounCcment Of figures concerning
the total OF building operations for
which permits were taken out last

claimed that the city had seen the
best days of its building boom; now

A SPECIAL SESSION

President Coolidge apparently has
changed his mind at least slightly
regarding the ACCESSIBILITY of calling
special session of Congress to deal
with flood relief. but seems to be of
the opinion such d session could be
postponed until Just before the next
regular session begins in December.
In this way the President thinks
Congress would not have sufficient
opportunity to legislate beyond flood
control at such a session.
The realization that special SEES
sion Is necessary to deal with flood
relief is gaining ground. Such a
session has been lodged mainly for
political reasons SO far. The Pres
ident's idea to have the special sos-
sion just before the regular session
is good one

TRAFFIC LIGHTS AND
TRAFFIC POLICEMEN

Report was made to the board of
police commissioners recently that
the automatic traffic signals down
town We're working perfectly except
Tor some minor changes necessary
at that time. These changes have
been made. But one point was over
looked at the time the report was
lnadc-the traffic signals We're
working, all right. but there also
was traffic policeman at the Con-
ttr-usudlly the astute Joe Ken
ncdy, champion traffic signal artist
in town. We rather think that much
of the credit for the fine report
about the traffic signals was due 10
the way the traffic officer kept things
shipshape at Main and Church
streets, that the efficient work was
not completely duo to the traffic
signals alone. The human touch was
still present, and it was the basic
reason why things were moving
smoothly at the most important
corner in the city.

AMERICAN ANIATORS
IN BERLIN

The welcome accorded to Clarence
Chamberlin and Charles Levine in
Berlin has been noteworthy. The
populace has risen up in jubilation
and has acclaimed the Americans as
great airrren and representatives OF
IA country which they are now glad
10 realize consistently produces the
grit-"Yankec grit paper in Ger
many called (which achieves
things. We lean back with much
satisfaction at these manifestations
of welcome in Berlin and Germany
generally and cannot help compar-
ing the prevailing feeling today with
what it was nine years ago. The war
is not only over, but the mental at
,itude of the peoples engaged has
changed to one OF willingness to
understand and appreciate each
other.
Chamberlin and Levine have been
American ambassadors OF moment
in Germany just as Lindbergh was
in France. These aviators have ac-
complished more in short time
than all the diplomats and govern
ment officials and their intermin-
able discussion have in years. When
we read that the German bands
have been practicing American
music for weeks in order to be able
10 give welcome with native Amer
lean airs; that the police went to
superhuman efforts to prevent the
vast crowds from running out of
hand on the Tempelhofer air field
and that the plane was adequately
protected from souvenir hunters:
that escorting planes by the dozen
went out to meet them; the two
aviators were treated as American
kings of the air, and that the crowds
went wild with delight at the chance
to do them honor-this gives the
quintessence of satisfaction.
1t is clear that the Germans, like
the French. know how to take ad.
vantage Of the opportunity to enjoy
the good feeling that such events
engender. When the aviators return
we'll get our opportunity and try to
make it unanimous.

10 per cent Of the amount OF the
bill.
Q. Was aviation attempted be-
fore the present century?

Is Years Ago Today

At the common council meeting
last night Messrs. Curtis, Smith and
Carlson were appointed to investi-
gate the proposed building line on
Church street. The contract for CITY
printing was awarded a Hartford
concern because its bid was verv
much lower than those of any local
printers. Messrs. Sheehan, Leghorn
and Quinn voted against it on the
grounds the New Britain printers
should have the work. The Satur-
day half-holiday for city employees
was adopted. although Mr.. Carlson
said he couldn't see why the men
should be paid when they didn't
work.

one with eyes to see that a soodly
portion OF the public doesn't wait 40
seconds before crossing the high
way; they simply cross after they
have waited what appears to the
average person as reasonable
length of time. They are doing so
more and more every day, and no
doubt will continue TO do so as long
