MAGNANINOUS ARTISTS

johnson of course had to do the handsome thing so
he came back with the statement that 'we Irshmen
must stuck together which is an astonishing doctrine
IN Itself and with the declaration that he has always
looked up TO Mccormick model, whose dicton is
unatchable and who sings with lyric finish that no
other artist approach.
Boosting is better than knocking. Now both Of

TAKING A DRINK

Il don't see how any in this country has the
to take drink observes Gen. Andrews head
prohibition enforcer.
He isn't speaking of moral nerve, either, but physi-
cal fear based the fact that there is no more safe IL
quor ootanable Even the drug store liquor has been
found impure he says. That is his chief reason for
wanting the government to go into the distlng busi-
ness, providing medicinal liquor of guaranteed purity
Whether Uncle Sam himself should turn distiller is
still debatable question The proposal arouses the
moral indignation Of many good citizens who condemn
whskey and its manufacture regardless of motive But
there ought not to be much difference OF opinion re-
garding Gen. Andrews remark about taking drink
That is merely question of hard fact
Whether alcohol itself is regarded as poison or med
able in the United States has in it stuff far worse
In It's effect than grain alcohol The liquor question
becomes question of safety first Whatever ones
personal attitude toward drinking may be- the only
safe rule at present for any one who values his health
eyeslght or life is to let the stuff alone.

SHORE BOiRDWALkS

A boardwalk two miles long at Milford would be an important step towards further comm merciallzatlon of the shore along the Sound. Per- haps commercial exploitation or Sound advantages is ineNita ole; where crowds gather to enjoy life there will be commerce. Heading to- ward the shore has become almost a universal pastime for Nutmeggers during the last few decades and the Atlantic Cityizing of the shore re- sorts is proceeding apace.
 If the Milford Boardwalk asso- citation goes through with its plans, as seems likely, Milford will have the longest boardwalk in the state, the other, at Ocean Beach, New London, being half a mile long. The development at Milford will be cue to other Sound resorts and cities.

Which leads to a consideration Of bard riding in busses if the roads traversed are not smooth. Some of this has beer experienced around New Britain, especially since the bus line to Berlin was established. But give the. state time. Roads along which busses travel will be i'm proved, possibly earlier than same other roads along which they don't as yet travel-if there are any such left in the state. As soon as a bus line is established the possibility Of road improvement increases. New Britain argued for years about the state improving the washboard pike to Berlin and there was no action taken until a bus line began jogging over the road.
 Perhaps, in order 10 get the Cat Hole Pass road improved quickly, We should intrigue some bus line 10 begin operating over it. The bus people, especially the Connecticut company, have more influence in Hartford than all the Chambers of Commerce in the state combined.

.SHARKEY BEGINS
 " FINAL TRAINING
Plans to Taper Off to Absolute
 Fitness for Dempsey Bout

New York, July g P-Starting with relaxed program. Jack Sharkey is off on his final training campaign for his fight with Jack Dempsey, and already in fine phy- sical condition, intends to work up carefully to the peak" for the July 21 fight.
 Rocky Stone, Boston heavyweight. was the only sparring partner on hand when the eX-gob swung into action yesterday. Sharkey said his wind was good and logged five miles through Central park just to prove it before he went to a gym nasium for session with the punching bags and a few rounds of shadow boxing.
 Radiating confidence, Sharkey said he would have to take off only three pounds between now and the day of the fight. when he intends to weigh la2.

Johnny Buckley. lis manager. intends to have the really hard work all over several days before the Dempsey battle, so that Sharkey can enter the ring with his full strength.
 With that in mind Sharkey ex- poets to speed up against about eight sparring partners for a week or so and then gradually let down.
