AIR MAIL PROGRESS

The Boston-New York airmail
line is known as route No. 1. There
are 20 routes authorized by the gov
eminent, but all of them are not
being operated. When all are under
way the total mileage operated
daily will be $3.50.
One of the important routes in
the east, to be started when the
company having the contract can
get around to it, Is that between
New York and Atlanta. The Atlanta
Miami route. although it carried
passengers in addition TO mail, sus-
pended operations some time ago.
One of the reasons was there was
not enough through mail. The line
from New York to Atlanta, when it
operates, should speedily revive the
line between Atlanta and Miami.
These two lines are 746 and 740
miles long respectively, and COM
bined they do not equal the mileage
of the Chicago-San Francisco line
of 1895 miles.
Although the Boston New York
route has been steadily increasing
in the amount Of mail carried, 1t
is interesting, if not discomfiting, TO
compare 1t with the Che-enne-
Pueblo route. The first named is
200 miles in length; the latter 200.
The last report, for May, had the
New England route carrying 1880
pounds per Month, while the Chev-
enne-2 deblo route carried 2,S73
pounds Nothing but better rail
service in New England can explain
the difference, perhaps. The only
other explanation is that dime
doesn't look as big and powerful in
that section.

Is Years Ago Today

In q communication to the Her
aid yesterday druggist found fault
with the fact that nearly all of the
medicines purchased by the city
during the smallpox epidemic came
from two firms, the other druggists
being ignored. Mr.: Curtis was ap-
preached by a Herald reporter to-
day and said that the discovery OF
that fact had caused the committee
great concern. 1t was due to a par
TALLY of the doctors, and when the
committee found out about it steps
were taken to divide the buying up
more evenly.
Sanitary Inspector Turnbull
found a man today collecting gar
bage in an open wagon. He told the
man to get a covered vehicle or
cease collecting.
Ping pong has become the fash
ionable indoor amusement. It has
driven out whist and practically
succeeded lawn tennis, from which
it was apparently derived. Mr.. and
Mrs. Clarence A. Eearle introduced
it into New Britain and are said to
be the most skillful players in the
city. They have a ping pong table
in the south parlor of their pretty
Main street home and it has seen
many good games.

Observations
On The Weather

Washington, July 1s.-Forecast
for Southern New England: Mostly
cloudy with local thunder showers
this afternoon or night in extreme
east and extreme south portion.
Wednesday generally fair. Slightly
Massachusetts,. Gentle to moderate
shifting winds becoming northerly.
Forecast for Eastern New York:
Generally fair tonight and Wednes-
day, except possibly showers on the
coast tonight; cooler in extreme
north portion tonight: moderate
north and northeast winds.
Conditions: Pressure is high this
morning over the northern Missis-
sippi valley and the lake region and
relatively low over eastern Massa-
chusetts and Rhode Island. also
over Virginia and Maryland. A dis
turbance of wide extent is forming
over the Rocky Mountain districts
but pressure continues high over the
north Pacific coast region. Cloudy
and unsettled conditions prevail in
the Atlantic coast districts from
Maine southwestYard to the Gulf.
Temperatures are somewhat cooler
over northern states east of thu
Mississippi river.
Conditions favor for this vicinity
partly cloudy weather and con-
tinued cool.

ing day in another city. The express
company has taken advantage OF
this by making contracts with the
air transport systems operating be-
tween New York and Chicago. Chi
cago to San Francisco. and Los
Angeles to Seattle. these contracts
being somewhat similar to those
made with the railroads.
Passenger service by air Is not
progressing in this country as
swiftly as in some others. The
general inclination seems to be to
let the pilots take the risk. After
these have flown sufficiently long
to show there is no risk the pas
senger business no doubt will in

WHEN THE GIRLS
PLAY BALL

A source of amusement and en-
tertainment for what is usually
generous number of people on the
sidelines and the usual number of
ballplayers in the field are the ball
games between teams of the girls
factory league which meet on the
diamond at the western extremity
Of Walnut Hill park. Last night
there was such game, and lot of
fun it was to watch. causing many a
spectator to marvel at the way the
young women handled the big In
door baseball. Rivalry between the
players was intense. Every girl was
mentally and physically on her toes
every instant. They played ball more
earnestly than most of their male
contemporaries.
But there was one big drawback
to the whole affair and that was the
conduct of the crowd. A few Of the
individuals on the side-lines, or per-
haps we should say on the diamond
itself, were young male rowdies who
were having the time Of their lives
bowling at the umpire, the pitcher
and other players They rooted for
no side. they just howled. That was
probably their idea of a good time,
but 1t was extremely offensive to the
players, we imagine, and we know it
was to the majority of the specta-
tors.
With these few but noisy, excep-
tons, the remainder OF the audience
was well behaved excepting that
most Of them showed a tendency to
crowd the diamond and the players,
giving them little opportunity to
play the game as it should be play
ed.
Considering the number Of people
included in the list of both specta-
tors and players it seems as though
the city, through the Park Board,
could well afford to purchase a few
hundred feet of rope and six or eight
iron stakes of sufficient height to
carry it and rope off when there Is
to be a game, an area containing
the diamond and sufficient space at
the sides and back to keep the
crowd away from the players. Officer
Charles McGrath, who has the diff
cult duty of taking care of Walnut
Hill park crowds, would probably be
wiling to care for the rope and
stakes as he does other equipment
connected with park sports. His bur
den would be lightened if the ropes
were placed, the rowdies would be
kept at a reasonable distance and
the eager spectators would be held
in check somewhat. That rope
should be bought.

A GENEVA AGREEMENT

After having neared the reef of
disaster on several occasions, the
tripartitc naval arms conference in
Geneva now promises to come to an
agreement. Mutual concessions of
the contesting powers are said to
make possible this satisfactory
termination Of the naval outlook.
The 12-12-S ratio for cruisers of
10000 tons means that the United
States and Britain will be on par
ity as TO cruiser strength. This vic
tory for American aims is not ex-
actly a defeat for British aims for
it is likely that the British may be
much more inclined to construct
their maximum of cruisers. Presi-
dent Coolidge, on the other hand,
is not disposed to go the limit. If
the administration continues its
economy stand in naval matters it
IS likely that the parity victory for
America will be largely a paper
victory.

Cunard Line Plans to
Obtain Concession

Rome. July 19.-(Pt-The news
paper Giornale D'Italia publishes a
telegram from Belgrade, Jugoslavia,
saying that a contract is about to be
concluded between the Cunard
Steamship Company, the British
concern, and the Jugoslav govern
ment. guaranteeing to that company
for 10 years the exclusive transpor-
tation of Jugoslav emigrants.
The Giornale D'Italia commenting
on the report, expresses the hope
that the report may be incorrect If
it is true, the paper adds, it would
indicate a monopoly in favor of the
Cunard line which would be injuri-
Gus to Italian interests since for
centuries tine Adriatic has been con-
sidered exclusively an Italian sphere
Of action.

ENFORCING OPINION

I'VE can Only offer our opinion
to another person." Thus spoke
John Haynes Holmes In his New
York church.
That is entirely contrary to puri-
tanical notions, or the notions that
sway a good deal of the thought in
this country.
Millions of citizens still regard the
nonconformist with general opinion
as something of an outlaw.
Some of the floggings in the
south have been inflicted because
the victims did not go to church.
Whose business is it except their
own whether they care to go to
church or stay away?
But the majority opinion of
southern communities is against
such exercise of liberty and free
dom. If they don't go of their own
free will give them a licking, seems
to be the prevailing notion.
That's what I think and the 9TH
err fellow ought to think the same"
is the unuttered slogan in large
sections Of the country. And II sun
dry urfortunates do not think and
act like the majority they will be
forced to do so. That at least is
the undemocratic spirit which pre-
walls.
What we think, believe and do is
our own business so long as our
action conforms with the law. This
business of trying to force everyone
to believe the same ideas isn't
fundamentally American. It looks
sometimes as if half the people are
engaged IN making the other half
agree with their own notions.
Perched on the top of the heap are
a few individuals who wish to des-
ignate what the notions are to be.
Holmes statement Is refreshing.
He has opinions and is willing to
offer them. That Is different from
forcing others to accept them. If
they are worth while they will win
and won't REQUIRE force or persua-
sion.
New Britain herald., 1927-07-19

this should be the case; but few
could understand them.
For the present it is gratifying
that there has been a reduction.
The mayors committee seems to
be satisfied that the retailers are
doing the best they can now that
tank wagon prices have been slight
ly reduced. Why they are not re-
duced still farther is something
worth finding out.
On driving through Connecticut
while en- route to points in northern
New England recently. General
Pershing was impressed by nothing
else so much as by the high gaso-
line prices.
Maybe the cost Of doing business
in Connecticut is higher than 1t
ought to be. This may be partly due
to an excess Of gasoline filling sta
tons. On the other hand, such an
excess means quick service to con-
sumers-and that's worth some
thing.
The statewide agitation about
high gasoline prices has resulted In
their reduction. This Is ample evil
dence tina. they were too high, as
was claimed from the first. They
may still be higher than they ought
to be, but the trade has the knoUl-
edge that the juggling of gasoline
prices from now on will be care
fully watched.
The public is entitled to benefit
from two things: The high surplus
of production. and the improved
method OF manufacturing gasoline
from crude oil. which has greatly
increased the quantity Of gasoline
secured. If the public does not bene-
fit by these things then there is
something wrong in the oil BUSH
ness.

GASOLINE PRACTICES

Because man happens to be a
dealer in gasoline instead of shoes,
nobody expects him to sell his pro-
duct without a reasonable profit
The shoe dealer doesn't; and neither
does the gas" dealer.
But there their similarity Of pro-
cedure stops. In certain respects
the gasoline business is different
than any other.
The Wholesalers of gasoline" dis
tribute the product to the indepen-
dent retailers: and also to their own
retail distribution stations. When
they sell gasoline at their retail
stations they make both the retail
and the wholesale profit: and they
can control the price of both, not
only at their own distributing sta
tons, but at the Independent filling
stations.
There is competition in the oil
business - between the various
wholesale distributors. But the
competition during the summer
time IS scarcely enough to notice.
In Connecticut the tank wagon price
The retail price naturally followed
suit.
Gasoline prices have been reduced
in New Britain, as in almost every
other Connecticut city. The prices
| still are higher than In Massachu-
sets and New York, 1t is said. Good
reasons, perhaps, can be given why
