PROOF?
BY Ethel Ro,nig Fulle

By Ethel Ronig Fuller
If radios slim fingers
Can pluck a melody
From night and toss it over
A continent or sea;
If the petaled white notes
OF a violin
Are blown across a mountain
Or a city's din;
If songs, like crimson roses,
Are culled from thin blue air,
Why should mortals wonder
If God hears prayer?

school system there. If 1t ts not satisfactory he win hesltate about changing his residence. He wants hts children to have the very best facilities obtainable and he Is justi- fied if he refuses to move to any
 oity which cannot meet his stand-
 ards. In this respect New Britain
 offerg m inviting inducement. The
 school system here is of the finest,
 Its teaching personnel is of high character. Its directors are consci- entious and capable. When you hear acquaintances in other cities speak, ing disparingly about New Britain. ask them about their school sys- tom and tell them about yours. New Britain my lack natural advantages, 1t may still be suffering from grow ing pains-which is a hopeful sign but its department of education takes sacond place to no communi., ty of its population class.
 When MT. Slade recommends that an additional building be construc- ted for the high school plant he is not merely expressing his desire for. additional room. He is calling att tention to a fact as apparent as q bandaged thumb. Mere elbow room is needed for high school pupils. They'll get 1t as soon as the board of education can see its way to provide the money because New Britain never is parsimonious when it comes to extending accommoda- tions for its boys and girls

CHEAPER COAL RATES

Cheaper rates on anthracite coal, now in prospect, will mean some thing definite to the consumer. Heretofore the emphasis has been laid entirely upon the rates for soft coal, which experience has shown in Connecticut is not used by householders except in emergencies. Now the rates on anthracite are un- der revision, two railroads appar- ently desirous of cooperating with the governors plan. If this eventu- ates the other hard coal carriers will have to fall in line or lose their share of the business.
 The rail rates on hard coal from the Pennsylvania fields has long

THE MODEL HAWLEY WILL

If the old saying is true. that one can judge a person by the company he keeps. 50 1t must be equally true that one can judge a person by the will he makes. Particularly is this true in the case of a man leaving considerable estate for distribution.
 Thus one can read the kindly, benevolent. loving character of the late Benjamin A. Hawley in the lines of the last will and testament his death released to the pubic. Such . judicious distribution of funds to institutions furthering the needs of child life has rarely been seen; and the rendering of large sums to other institutions catering to the cultural life of the commun- ity, notably the library and the park system, surely reflected the mind of righteously-inclined man.

able opposers; even Hartford papers without exception have become caustically critical of late: while in New London. where there is suffer- ing from an amendment to the city manager form of government de- signed to eliminate its -partisah character. there is heated indigna- tion. As the Springfield Republican pointedly stated the other day. the first real indications of revolt against the grand old party meth ods in Connecticut are evident in attitude of the press in the states larger cities. The only Hooper cent supporters of the organization are found in the small towns, which as yet are not being touched by the organizations tactics.

A LARGER HIGH SCHOOL

It Is quite likely that Principal Louis P. Slade's plan for an en- larged high school building and equipment will not be precipitately acted upon in the near future. His main service lies in calling attention to conditions. perhaps paving the way for their practical consideration later. Citizens are aware that the per capita cost per pupil of con- ducting the New Britain high school remains very high compared with the per capita cost in other Con- necticut cities and this means that a large expenditure of capital cost in connection with the plant will not meet with instantaneous ap- proval. desirable as the plan may be. Ultimately. of course. these im- provements will result.

SUMMER AND THE TROLLEYs

Trolley business. so far as the smaller cities of Connecticut are concerned, has come to be profit able enterprise for only about four months in the year.
 Just as soon as April 1 arrives patronage drops; and continues to drop. By the middle of May the trolleys are half empty most of the time.
 Manifestly a business that only shows a profit four months of the year is sick. If the Connecticut company. for instance, could earn half as much in profit during the eight months of poor business as 1t earns during the four months of good business, it would be able to pay its owner, the New Haven rail- road, quite fancy returns on the $4o.oo0, 900 value. water and all.
 There are many economic and in- dustrial engineers floating about the country. and no doubt they have tackled the street car business from time to time. But in the street car business they are confronted with nut they cannot crack. The cars have to continue running re- gardless of the dearth of custo- mers: there Is no such thing as quitting service merely because passengers are few. The public, even the few, must be served.
 Some day there may be a change. This may come about through the abandonment of sundry poorly pay ing lines. retaining only those which pay their way; or their change into bus lines, provided these can be run more economically than the trolleys. But according to the complaints of some of the independent bus line operators, the profits in these en- terprises have not been up to ex- pectations, either.
 All these transportation troubles are laid at the door of the automo- bile industry, which has made il possible for large sections of the public to do without street car or bus service for eight months of the year.

"CONTEMPT OF COURT" AND NEWSPAPERS

It appears that Harry w. Ander- son, managing editor of the Toron- to Globe, and Murdock Macdonald, city editor of the Toronto Mail and Empire, were haled before Justice Logic in Toronto court upon com plaint of lawyers that they had practiced a bit of contempt of court in publishing head line and a news story.
 Contempt of court" Is some- thing of a, bogie to most newspaper editors, and where there is none in sight, and where it begins, is some- times one of those mooted points which cause considerable trepida- ton among the craft. Justice Logic proceeded to lay down the law, which does not materially differ in English speaking countries. being based primarily upon the English common law.
