WEIGHING \ PROJECT

Main street merchants north of the tracks still have an itch and no amount Of ointment will do away with lt. The itch, of course, is to i'm prove matters by widening Main street-a question often discussed but as frequently shelved. Some day there may be more action coupled to the discussion and something of the sort will happen.
 One thing is not lacked in the hardware paradise-carefu consid- eration. Nobody acts too suddenly. If somebody has an idea it is kindly re- caiyed, noted in the mental note book, and then discussed. Nobody thinks of jumping the traces and do- ing something about it without the due and careful consideration re- ferred to.
 Thus We find that the Main street widening project is still a project, and for all we know may remain such for little while longer. Eventually, perhaps. the street will be widened along the lines desired by the merchants, property owners and the Broad street improvement association. The latter, eager to be lined up with every project smack ing Of improvement north of the tracks, is bound to be heard from in this as in all other contcmporaneous projects.
 AS a wise man once said, how ever, the way to proceed is to pro- ceed.

Mussolini cannot reach into the United States and seize 8 former citizen of Italy and force him to serve q sentence for alleged murder when the evidence given al the trial in Italy does not appear 10 have been fair, having consisted or hearsay evidence, the statements of unswon witnesses, and other dis crepancics. The effort of Giuseppe Gautcri of Torrington to remain free man in this country has been successful; he has found that the officials Of the United States govern ment play fair.
 Gau;cri has rrospored in Torring- ton and he IS well regarded by citizens generally Someone might have been killed in 9 drunken brawl in Avollino in 1912, but the evidence doesn't satisfy the American off cia1s that Gau.cri was 10 blame. He will be permitted 10 live in peace where he is, and the supposed might and power of MussolIni is entirely in vain
 Some lime ago Nju4solini issued an ukaso that all Italians, or former haiian@, anywhere who opposed his regime would be subject 10 confisca- ton of property in Italy-if they have any therc-and he subject to Prosecution if they ever returned.

appear to be actuated by philan- thropy, The more they read about the necessity of cities obtaining air ports the more highly they regard the value Of their land. They know fully well that any sort of vacant land will not do for an airport; that the terrain must meet with air port requirements. Those possessing this type Of property near or in a city seem to realize the lack of com petition. Thus 1t is learned that one plot Of ground which a few years ago could be leased for $500 a year cannot be purchased at any price to- day. according to Councilman Max on, while another field which is as- sessed at S10o an acre now costs 5000 an acre If desired for an air port.
 One observer has said that if the city waits much longer before ob- taining an airport il will not be able to obtain ground any closer than in Plainyille. This would not be very advantageous, perhaps but would be closer than New Brunswick. N. J., the air mail port, is to New York; and closer than the Long Island air. ports are to the metropolis. In these days of quick communication by trucks and automobiles an airport few miles outside of a city does not nullify such advantages entirely.

WIFE ASKS JUDGE
 ID JAIL HUSBAND
Wants Him to Learn to Work
 and Support Family

Stanley Scczykowski, aged 3s, of I4 Bronson street, charged with drunkenness and non support, was given suspended jail sentence of 60 days and ordered to obtain en- pioyment as soon as possible, by
 Judge M. D. SaNe in police court this morning. Mrs. Seczykowski asked
 Judge Sake to send him to jail for 60 days so that he might learn to work. He has not supported his fam fly in four months and has been drinking steadily with the result that the family savings have been spent. insurance policies have been cashed and there is a grocery bill of $50. two months rent overdue and other liabilities making a grand total of $500. Asked by Judge Sake if she felt inclined to give her husband an- other chance, Mrs. SecZykowski re- piled that she has repeatedly heard his promise to stop drinking and go 10 work, so that she no longer has faith in him There are four chl- dren, aged 6, 8. 10 and 12 years.
 Seczykowski admitted the truth of his wife's accusations and promised 10 mend his ways if given a chance.
 He said work is scarce but he will make an effort to earn a living at once, and will stop drinking. Judge SaXe made it plain that the so days jail sentence will become effective if Seczykowski makes another appear ance in police court.
 Officer c. V. Helberg testified that he arrested Seczyk kowski shortly before II o'clock last night on com- plaint Of Mrs. Seczykowslii, who told him she had tired Of having her husband brought home intoxicated. Probation Officer F. c. Connolly tes- tificd that Chief Hart called the case to his attention about two months ago. From his observation he con- cluded that the man has ability but his weakness for strong drink has nnlliflcd his usefulness. He was for merly in the insurance business.
 The continued case of William kittel, aged 21. of IS Bissell street, South Manchester, was continued until Saturday morning. He was ar rested by Motorcycle Officer Alfred Tanguay on the charge of reckless driving on September II.
