Sees Jobs for Women
as Plentiful as Votes
New York. Dec 29.-"Heaven
will protect the working girl"
That cant phrase today an ANUS
ing anachronism, was frequently
uttered so years ago as pfous
wish. Fifty years from now it will
be a silly mockery, for every wo-
man will be working girl and will
know, better even than she does to-
day how TO protect herself and her
job. And she will know, too, other
things that will give her a fuller
and richer life than she has ever
enjoyed before.
Such is the prophecy of Josephine
Daskam Bacon, widely know au-
thor, who, in an article in Century
Magazine for January, looks for
ward to see what the fate of Amer
lean womanhood is to be.
The prophets of half century
ago could not foresee the woman of
today because they could have no
concept OF the world We live in
now, but the seers OF today are bet
ter situated and can forecast with
accuracy. is the authors contention.

anyone had told her that her grand
daughter could take her choice OF

have answered. Don't be FOOLISH"
She simply couldn't believe it. But
she knew whether l was going
down, down to He'll or up. up 10
Heaven, and when and how and
why"

She got herself an education. vote
and. in many cases. a job. But the
end is not in sight. and still better
things are coming.

SUBURBAN CRIMINALS

Since the city has drowned upon districts abutting the city boundaries have been getting the carnivals and the city in at least one notable in- stance has been furnishing the park ing space for the automobiles, Of customers. IL Is nothing to get angry about or to wax indignant over; it merely illustrates how easy it is to get around the letter and spirit of the law and still have the substance Of it's prohibition.
 The part of kensington lying adjacent to Willow Brook park has proved good carnival territory. It is so close to the city that for prac- tical purposes it is part of the town; the carnivals get m ostly New Britain business; they are not controlled by the rigorous anti-this-and-th laws of New Britain, which is 10 say they can operate slightly different than if they were within the city limits; and Willow Brook park comes handy as a place in which to park automo- piles while owners and their friends attend the carnival.

TILL TlLSON BOOM HURT
 BY RORABACk

It is with regret that one contem- plates what the Roraback delegates did to the Tilson boom for vice president by not getting behind it earlier. Even Thursday, when the delegates began working for" Tilson they did so without the permission Of J. Henry. who probably to the last could not get himself to lift q hand in favor Of a fellow Nutmegger whom he didn't happen to like.
 It is very hard for candidate to make an impression at convention without the booming support of his home state delegation. Tilson was in this predicament during the entire pre- convention days and during the convention up 10 the last day. The turn of Is delegates in his favor at that time was not sufficient to undo the damagc that already had been done. There is every reason to think that had the korahack orga nization boomcd Tiison from the start he would have obtained the vice. -prcsi- dential nomination. His failure 10 do 50 must be set squarely where it be- 1oncs-On the doorstep Of J, Henry Roraback. whose bungllng tactics deserve the unstinted censure of every Connecticut Republican.

ELIMINATING ACCIDENTS

Motorists in Berlin have taken note ot the fact that ped.strian was killed on the pike while at tempting 10 walk across it and these have come 10 the conclusion that pedestrians frequently are careless.
 Which is true. Pedestrians are often careless; but so are motorists.
 In fact, scarcely any modern weak ness is so generously developed as carelessncss.
 The age is one that would demand extreme caution. especially along highways by both pedestrians and motorists.
 It is a truism that there is an amazing amount of recklessness of one sort or another rampant. The wonder is that there are not more fatalities.
 Which means they can be greatly reduced by the exercise of more com- mon sense in driving and walking.
 II is notable that there are the lowest accidents in those portions of tho larger cities where the authori- ties hay" taken extreme means 10 en- force some Of the common sense necessary along the streets and high ways.

The nomination of L. $. Senator Charles Curtis of Kansas for vice. president was an unexpected turn in The convention.

Observer, Feeling Frisky,

Police officials are always talking about traffic problems. They seem to be among the leading questions of day. T.-- trouble with them. how ever. is that they are so vague and general that the public, initiated in the fine points of traffic until told so by irate policemen whose signals have been disregarded. is likely not to appreciate the problems. We therefore intend 10 reduce many of these 10 pure mathematics. so we of- fer the following traffic problems:
 l. If man wishes to go from Franklin Square to St. Mary's church, how many traffic lights will he have 10 pass? How many of them will be red:
 ?. How many minutes beyond the specified 80 is it safe to park on Church street"
 3. The traffic light in front of the south church is being operated manually. A secondhand fiivver comes out of Chestnut street, while the limousine of a prominent manu- facturer moves ID Main street. Which will pass the light first:
 1. If it takes l2 workmen to tear up 100 square 1t of West Main street in one day. how long will it be be- fore they start to rip up the places which they have just repaired?
 5. 4 traffic officer is on duty in front of the High school. \ pedes trian wishes to cross the street at the same time as an automobile wishes to pass the intersection. Which goes first if the pedestrian is (a) meek-looking freshman. (b) the football star, Co good looking teacher?

KILLING" GOOD TUNES

Leave 1t 10 the radio to knock the spots out Of good new song. or kick the skids out from under a new one.
 No matter how good musical number may be. hearing it over the radio every day-some etimos several times a day-for 8 week leaves a taste of too much onions.
 Nothing can kill" piece of music quicker than repetitions over the radio. There are between six and seven hundred radio stations in the country and let them all get busy with the same pieces al the same time and the shine is soon worn off.
 Little wonder, therefore. that the owners Of musical copyrights have risen in self defense. Wherease a lit tie radio plugging is good thing by way of introducing a new number. they say. too much Of it ends the number and there ure no sales.
 Tho radio organization happily is alive to the situation. That there has been too much repetition of the same numbers is admitted. 4 list has been made Of the numbers which from now on vii! be heard less and less. Among the numbers are the follow ing: Kiss Me Again:" Indian Love Call:" "A; Dawnine:" "kashimiri Song" and Pale Moon." The Victor Herbert numbers are also down for fewer presentations and even the stars and Stripes Forever" march IS slated for use only on special occasions

THE OBSERVER- Makes Random Observations
 On the City ano lts People

team event in which boys compete from each troop. A judge whispers message to the first man on each team, who then runs a certain dis tance and repeats it-or tries to re- peat tito the next man. the mes sage being relayed through the en- tire team until the last man reports back to the judge with the frag- ments that he has gleaned.
 The message last Saturday was the following: "Driver of car mark CT No. lo1eo3 report to New Britain General hospital" Only one troop the last one to finish-had the message correct, no other team making less than eight mistakes in this message of ten words and six figures. The number proved to stumbling block. only the winning troop out of 14 entries having it correct, but there were numerous mistakes in the simpler portions of the message.
 One team wanted Car 1922 to re- port, and tackled an "at once" on the end of the message. Another re- quested 4OS to report, while third was seeking Rel. One troops asked owner of the car to report at 1oe- 030." while a fifth was addressing itself to Car No. 1oS and added an extra immediately"
 ''The owe will carry to General hospital" was the snarl turned iE by our team. The prize tangle. how ever, was provided by troop which should have known better. It was looking for some sort of zoologica monstrosity called "one hoof car"
 The toys in this event Were actu- ally concentrating on hearing and repeating the messages correctly, and if such sad errors occurred un- der these circumstances the growth of rumor through gossip or acci- dental overhearlng is easily ex- pIained.
