MODERNIzIyG ARCH STREET

Sooner or later something will happen to Arch street and it begins to look as if the year 1929 will be the crucial year-this taking it for granted that not much can be ac- complished between now and next spring. For several years there has been intermittent talk about im- provements on this important thor oughfare and the preliminaries have ben taken. But the road from theory to execution is inclined to be more tortuous than direct. When deter- mination and ambition combine. however, success will ultimately be attained. This Is certain to be the story of Arch street. Those interest ed in the improvement steem intent upon doin gthe work thoroughly no matter how long it takes. If it is in- sisted that the Connecticut company remove is tracks from the street there likely will ensue an argument with the company. which probably will prefer to let the tracks remain buried where they are.

OVER6EA BY AIR

The plan of Count Eckener for q s14,0oo.o0o oceanic Zeppelin service sounds like . reasonable develop ment. The money. 1t seems. would be raised in this country and in the last analysis it would be an American company. And by the way. the count says the next craft built vii be much faster than the Graf Zeppelin. lead- ing to tho assumption that future dirigibles will grow in speed as tho science progressea The first ships ued to take around 80 days to cross the Atlantic. compared with the preent speed Of around | week. If the Zeps continue to grow speedier and speedier the ultimate speed over the pond may be in the neighbor- hood of one day-which we hope will satisfy all tourists and passengers in particular hurry.

THE CASE OF HICKMAN

On this day, the command to the public executioner not having been stayed by official fiat, Edward Hick- man, IT, was to be deprived of his life by the state of California for the murder of Marion Parker, q school girl.
 The crime was loathsome; public opinion on the whole has been that if capital punishment is just, it was never more appropriate than in this case. The claim that Hickman has a diseased mind apparently has not convinced the public, which weighs the cunning that Hickman exercised in snaring his victim. Even if a mental defective he knew the diff ference between right and wrong so runs the reasoning. And 1t has had sufficient logic on its side to im- press the courts. That ought to set- tie it.
 The history of the Hickman family, however, is interesting from q pathological standpoint. His mother, it has been disclosed, was in- sane and spent a period in a state institution. His grandmother on his mothers side was known in her town as Crazy Becky" His mothers father was . religious fanatic, . neurotic. given to tantrums during

THE EARLY BLIZZARD

News dispatches from the West. particularly from Colorado, have given us an interesting recital this week of what happens when an un- expected blizzard hits the mountains in October. Of course. anyone having had experience with the Rocky Mountain territory will know enough not to trust tho weather there in October or November. But deer hunters are jealous in pursuit of their prey and sometimes pay no attention to weather prospects. It was for this reason that 10000 got showed in along the trails. and what has become Of some of them is no story for a few days
 While the Rockies as far south as New Mexico and Arizona were treat ed to the blizzard We in New Eng land have wondered whether sum- mer has returned. It is unwise, how ever, to bank too much on this and attempt to prove from 1t that we have 8 much finer climate than the Rocky Mountain stateA A wise man will never bet on the weather, either here or there.
 So confident are we that this h true that we don't mind adding that by the time this sees print the tables may be entirely turned. Experience induces us to add this postscript.

COMPULSORY TINKERING

A practical way to curb the cur- rent useless slaughter by automobiles has been adopted in Massachusetts. where . "Save-a-Life" campaign is in progress. It Is none other than a compulsory mechanical inspection of all automobiles and trucks in the state, this to be free of charge. The cooperation Of garages, service sta- tions, shops and of course, the police has been asured. Mechanical per lection does not automatically turn a reckless driver into paragon of sfety, but 1t makes it possible for many another to avoid collision when confronted with a sudden emergency. The plan might well be extended into other states.
