selves were able to affect. At no time have
you had an opportunity to replenish your
supplies at such savings at this time of the
year.. Every item is of the very highest
quality, merchandise you are accustomed
to pay from 1919 to $3.50 more than what
we are asking during the next ten days.

\ NEW LITTLE PARK

The way 10 get thing done IS 10
do il. and that spirit lies behind the
plan to utilize the vacant lot owned
by the city adjoining the Washing
ton school on High street as j pub
lie park or playground, the chief at
traction TO be a baseball diamond.
The Washington school, built when
the program Of new schools was be-
gun, will not need enlargement for
many years. The city was fortunate
in securing a large plot OF land in
connection with that occupied by the
new building. II is illogical that this
land should not he utilized to the
best advantage. Turning it into a
miniature park and containing equip
ment for the enjoyment OF children
in that section OF the city is move
i'm the right direction. From the
time thu suggestion was made the
only valid objection vas the money
necessary to attain this end. II is
gratifying to learn that funds are TO
he available for tho purpoeo. II will
be z wise investment.

THE SOUTHERN CROSS

Losing ones position while in an
airplane Ninglng over the trackless
ocean is one OF those thrills that
come only to dauntless airmcn. But
this experience. which came to the
five men in the Southern Cross
while flying from Oakland to
Honolulu lasted less than an hour.
Instantly those in ships and on
shore were made aware through a
joyful radio message that land had
been sighted and the filters had
found their bearings.
Captain Charles kingsford- Smith
and his fellow birdmen encompass
NJ no mean feat in winging their
way 10 the Hawaiian Islands, a
first leg OF the journey TO Australia
totalling 10000 miles. The tri-mo-
tored Fokker monoplane, one of
the largest which has been ident-
itied with oceanic flying. gave a
wonderful performance despite
"bumpy" weather according to the
filters. Exactly what the term means
landlubbers are left in doubt but
we imagine it means weather that
is not Of the best.
1t will be a big time in Australia
when the boys get there.

THE ISLE OF SAFETY

There used TO be an isle OF safe
"" at the western end of the triangle
at the Center. To the best OF our
knowledge ii is still there. although
cluttered with apparatus OF various
sorts The safety isle formerly came
in handy when buses stopped there.
but this has not been the case for
about a year or more. Since the dis
continuance of this spot as bus
stand the isle of safety has been en-
circled with city beacons. which
warded Off automobiles and per-
mitted pedestrians to use it If neces-
sary. To the best OF our knowledge.
there being little necessity TO Use it
for an isle of safety since that time,
the space has been devoid OF pedes-
TRANS nearly all of the time. What
we have been wondering about is
how this supposed isle OF safety is
supposed to function now that no
body uses it?

"JT"S 4 GIRL"

Why is it that men SO frequently
prefer to possess sons rather than
daughters? Nine times out of ten,

anxious father waiting for the turn

tells him Its a girl" he utters
formal words Of pleasure; let the
nurse say ITS boy" and dad Is
ready to turn handsprings of de-
light.

right about it. Dad probably eeti-

slight disadvantage Immediately

satisfied whether it's boy or girl.

There is wide divergence be-

claim that according to the thesis

REPAIRING THE STREETS

The Board OF Public Works is go

be repaired. Just now there is dis
cussion as to what particular streets
to improve and various petitions are
being considered. Our impression
has been that it would require no
body with binoculars TO find thor
oughfares needing repairs, but We
are willing to let the board look
around a bit and perchance find
those with the worst depressions and
attend to them first.
Practically every year has seen

has been a species of unwritten law
that ma Tor street Improvement
should materialize every year. We
would like to hear of one being

at the same time they make OF them
selves nuisance. Many Of them
stop there too long. too. An im-
provement would result if buses
were only allowed 10 remain there
long enough to let off and take on
passengers and then went their way.
They should do their parking in the
suburbs. or at the other end OF their
routes.
The bus stop Oh the west side OF
the triangle, near Court street. is
subject TO the same criticism. Ere
quently there are more OF them on
hand than the space will acconlmo-
date and it is nothing uncommon to
find two OF them lined up abreast;
sometimes. in fact. they project so
lar toward the center OF the street
that the trolley cars are stopped
until bus gets out of the way. The
buses utilizing this point Tor park
ing purposes, like those at Church
street, should take less time for the
purpose and should stop only TO let
off and take on passengers. The
parking could be done at the other
end OF the routes.
With both trolley cars and buses
utilizing the vicinity OF Central park
Tor parking purposes the problem OF
traffic is accentuated. There should
be less parking for both buses and
trolleys at the Center. The city surely
is not supposed to furnish free park
ing space for private concerns on
city streets. particularly at the most
congested street space in the city.

been impressed with the notion that
his dismissal should have been the
reason for a great hue and cry
against the administrations act IL
not made clear. 1t may have been
that he felt it necessary to say that
the Legion had not entered into a
political discussion over the happen
ing. Either way, it is difficult to
explain its presence in the editorial
unless. as some seem inclined to
think. the discourse was predicated
upon this turn of political events.
Mayor Paonessa is the individual
who has suggested disseminating the
home service bureau as a move for
economy. In attacking his plan, the
paper declares it does so no, because
he Is a democrat, but because it
wishes to stand back OF the service
men. Further argument OF the alb
sence Of politics is made by declar-
ing that the Legion fought the pro-
postal that there be private dis
tributor of the state fund This is
supposed to indicate that the Legion
has opposed republican moves as
we'll as democratic projects, but it
means nothing from a standpoint OF
party politics. The state fund fight
was in a republican legislature, and
1t is difficult to see how anyone
could take sides in a. Connecticut
legislative fight without being OIL the
side OF one or the other temporary
tactional groups. If it wasn't
dyed -in-the- wool republican propo.
sition. or did not have strong repub-
lican backing, it never would have
reached the proportions touched by
the state fund discussion. That's a
matter of Connecticut legislative his
tory.
The editor of the Legion publica-
ton is secretary of the Municipal
Home Service bureau. That may
mean nothing. The investigator is
a former commander Of Eddy
Glover post, American Legion his
job being to pass on the applications
Of those desiring aid. Incidentally,
there is fee paid him for this
service.
The bureau was established after
the war and was intended to give
temporary relief to ex-servicemen
who were awaiting decision on their
petitions for governmental COM
pensa'ion or disqualification. Ten
years have passed since the war and
excepting in an isolated case, those
who have legitimate calls for aid or
who are going TO hospital have had
their applications handled. When it

the City of Hartford. it would seem
entirely possible that suggestion
might be made which would save
the city one Office and steno-
grapher, without that suggestion
being seized upon as basis for
political argument.
If the legionnaires in charge of the
publication had legitimate argu-
ment to raise it would seem that
they would be playing the role of
good citizens had they carried that
suggestion to the mayor for his con-
sideration. 1t must be remembered
that Mayor Paonessa has only men,
toned the possibility Of doing away
with the bureau. He has not de-
cided TO do so. The editor of Boost
and PULP should have met the
mayor and discussed the pros and
