OUR NEW STATE PARK

Taking over of Sunset Rock park by the State Park and Forest Con- mission concludes the final disposi- tion and conservation of one of the most notable scenic spots in Hartford county. This eminence, deriving its name from the beautiful sunsets that can be seen from there, is known to almost everyone in New Britain and Plainville, being between the two. It will now be improved by the state. a new or repaired shelter house at the point overlooking Plainville be- ing necessary. From the time the Sunset Rock association began cor respondence- with the state to the present the environs of the eminence have been allowed to shift for themselves, so to speak. A recent visit showed that certain part of the public seems to care very little for the appearance of public proper ty.
 The park was joint gift of the Sunset Rock association, and Land CTS, Frary & Clark. The park is larger than most residents perhaps realize. being half a mile long, and contains 13 1-2 acres. Most people have thought that Sunset Rock re- ferred only to the point where the shelter house was built. The park. however, takes in narrow strip along a goodly portion of the area of Bradley mountain.
 This state park is the nearest to New Britain; it is the only state park in Hartford county. Under state jurisdiction 1t ought to attract the attention of motorists from through out the central portion of the state in much larger numbers than here- tofore.
 The highway leading to the park from Plainville road is attracting more homemakers every year. It is not an improved highway in the modern sense. but is far better than it used to be back In the days when the park site was threatened with destruction by timber concern. It was then, of course. that the site was purchased by pubiic-spirited citizens to avoid it's beauty being despoiled, and from this time on the Sunset Rock association came into being. The association did notable public service in maintaining the site. finally resulting in it being made a gift to the state, which also was a noteworthy act.

THE so $, DELAY

It is being said for Captain Carey of the Vestris that he could not have delayed sending out an o s. call for ten hours merely to save his em- ployers a heavy charge for salvage Says the Herald Tribune: ". |. If subsequently,, after sending out an s o S., he had found he could re- pair and right his ship and proceed without assistance he could have countermanded the call without loss to his line. Claims for salvage do not hold in law unless the assistance rendered is concrete"
 No one will ever know why Cap tain Carey delayed sending out a radio call for help for ten hours. The venerable skipper is past testifying But regardless of what the Herald Tribune says, it is probable that s o S. signals in case of threatened disaster are delayed for salvage req sons. It is true. too, that counter manding the signals avoids the sal wage charges: but such a counter manded call might be used against the captains record by his employ CTS. Captain Carey was to have been given command of new ship in a short time. No one can say whether that didn't weigh in his indecision
 We are aware that there is wide- spread criticism of the salvage law We are inclined to agree that the criticisms are justified. It yields a premium for delay; yet it is hard to imagine a captain who would place human life in jeopardy on account of salvage damages. Men who at tain eminence on the sea are not built that way. But once in while who knows2

Folks, put the old record on the gramophone and listen to offend, Filip recount some facts about Con- stantinople!
 Believe it or not the natives of this burg are Regular Turks. Up to few years ago they had harems Ga disease resembling pyorrhea, that is, four out of five had it!) but they passed law against them, and today harems are about as popular in Turkey as gin and beer are in this country!
 It was here that old joke about that wasn't my husband, that was another Fezzer," originated. Turkey and this country, have much in common. In Turkey, if the husband gets tired of the wife, he puts her out. In this country, he puts her out. and how!
 The, city was formerly the capitol of the Ottoman Empire. but some body mustapha, got their Angora. Ii IS located on the Posporus. The bOSpOfuS IS an dll1fleuldFy CdHdl connecting the Black Sea with its appendix, Marmora. We could keep on giving you data like this, but it might get us into deep water. The Bosporus keeps Asia from touching Europe. Europe like to touch, but doesn't like to he touched.
 Never mind the noise, Effendi, it is that Stamboul loose again. As the old Sultan said. "I mustapha kemal, Allah, my kingdom for a kemal."
 You are too fatima," the bold Saracen replied. nonchalantly kiss irg the Sultana!

PROHIBITION IN NEW ZEALAND

The noble experiment." of pro- hibition in the United States con- tinues to be no guide to the thought ful, self-reliant dominions of the British Empire-and the provinces within the dominions. The latest to scuttle the Prohibition ship has been New Zealand, which for three years had all it wanted of this moral issue. Back in 1925 the population of the islands voted dry-and the experi- ment was begun. Why New Zealand took this step in the first place has never been adequately explained, as it never had American saloons" the hotel bars closed early, and licenses were limited. But almost all the dominions seem to have been willing to try almost anything-once. New Zealand the other day, after three years of prohibition. voted for the old system of limited licenses.
 Of course, New Zealand-like the Canadian dominions-did not make the mistake of putting prohibition into some organic law like a Consti- tuition. That isn't the British system it is the system of fanatics who take an unfair advantage of their fellow citizens during times of emotional ism. and who are able to spend mil lions of propaganda money to achieve some such permanent re- suit, at least in theory.

Many Radio Fans Annoyed
 By Rcallocation of Stations

The past week has been | period of distress in the radio broadcasting field through the reallocation of broadcasting stations. according to many radio fans who, since Sunday when the order first went into ef- ect, have tried in vain to make something out of the perplexing sit- uation.
 The average radio fan owns an average priced radio set and has been in difficulty since Armisticc Day. It was thought that the first day or two would result in confu- sion among radio owners because of the change of wave-lengths and thereafter receiving would be as good as before, or better, as prophe- side by those who were optimistic enough to believe that the realloca- ton would benefit broadcasting. To the dismay of many, however, as the days pass on. conditions do not seem to improve and the average fan with the average radio set wonders if after all the old system wasn't the better.
 There are others who are .nder the impression that the new order has benefited the broadcasting game and refute statements to the con- trary stating that many of the sta tions which never before could be gotten. come through without the slightest difficulty and with less in- terfereNe. Opinion is divided. as a number of owkers of expensive sets complain that even nearby stations like WTIC, Hartford; WBZ, Spring. field; WEAF. New York; and WGY. Schenectady. heretofore coming through clearly can be scarcely heard.
 One person owning a set of the most expensive kind has not been able to get WEAF, WBZ, WIZ and KDKA at times, while prior to the change these same stations came in without the least bit of difficulty.
 Complaints are many and vary and the radio fan is wondering what the ultimate result will be. at the same time expressing no little criticism of the federal commissions s order and the cutting out of some of the nations programs. The air is filled with turbulent ether waves, while the irate radio fan expresses little appreciation of the new order.

 Then one day. as if he knew some arduous or fateful event were im- pending. Bunter virtually gorged himself with food, eating more heavily even than during his first semi-starved days. That night he was missing. and he has not been seen since. Many persons admired him as they passed the house and one of them may have stolen him. He may have been run over by an automobile. He may have found the family to which he originally be- longed and returned to them. No one has solved the riddle of his dis appearance.
 But behind him he left | little community group of people and ami mals who felt that without Bunter something of perfect happiness was lacking. And especially was this sense of loneliness apparent in the small kitten. who for days waited for Bunter to re-appear and would dash expectantly to the door when- ever he heard a meow, only to turn away in complete disinterest and de- jeetion as he discovered that the moving cat was not Bunter.
