Many automobile owners are frankly nonplussed over the gaso- line situation. If they are we'll read they will remember reading of the prospect of q dwindling oil supply several years ago, with it's accom- paniment of talk about the possbil- ity of providing substitutes for gaso- i fa well read. they have learned that 1 ill spite of the enormous consulup- ! ton incident to operating more than 0.000. .o00 automobiles in this coun
 try. the increased use of motor fuel on certain railroads. in certain in- dustries, on certain ships, and for heating purposes ". nave an enormous surplus Of oil rather than decreased amount of the fluid. It's 2 haffling subject. perhaps: and then there is the additional brain tasnr- Why does the price Of gaso- line go mp despite the surplus, espe- cillly in the spring.
 Everyone knows. O course, that the production of crude oil has vast fv increased in tine uited States as a result of discovering two . enormously productive fields in Oklahoma.

council for varying periods Of time
 sending broadside after broadside against the board of public works, oftentimes seeming to be using scat ter-shot, but when he was finally pre-
 pared for the showdown he came through, evidently we'll prepared for
 the battle of his political career. Sablotsky. it must be admitted, is
 sometimes a tritle free with his claims and his statements in his pub lie discourses. However, he has
 managed thus far to keep clear of anything sufficiently hazardous to
 make good campaign material. Nearly a year ago SablotSky came
 out with | declaration that the board
 of public works had carried on un- authorized paving work on the pro- perty of Chairman Towers. A brief
 inquiry followed and it was admit ted that Sablotsky was right. but
 the amount involved was so small
 that the investigation created little
 more than a slight furry. The coun- cilman was not satisfied with the outcome of this inquiry and he fore cast developments.
 When Thomas F. kearney depos-
 cd street superintendent. made pub
 lie a series of allegations against the
 board of public works and Towers,
 Sablotsky seized upo nthe opportu- nifty to demand 8 showdown. The board of public works and its
 chairman have been subjected to se-
 were criticism. the name of the city demands that they be proved false or remove the cause of the evil, Sablotsky declared before his col
 leagues in the council at their last
 meeting. He then moved appoint |mcnt of board of inquiry and
 Mayor Weld promptly appointed 1 Councilman W. & Warner, Alderman 1 D. l.. Nair and J. F. Maerz. Coun-
 cllman John A. Larson and Council

 were heard while stenographers pencils scurricd across notebooks ! fotting down every word. What was said, admitted or denied is now doWr ! in black and white and has been well

Strange But True


 I certainly enjoy taking the girl friend to bridge parties. She never trumpS my ace. She never overbids her hand. She never quotes Lenz to prove that I've slipped up on some point. She never leads trump at the wrong time.
 She never passes after I've doubled a one bid. She never gets her signals mixed. She never forgets whats trump. She never leads from the wrong hand.
 She never takes me out of a strong bid.
 She never fails 10 make q hit with tn, entire aSsemhlagc. You sec, she doesn't know thing about bridge. so she spends the eve ming at the piano.

An indication of what eX-Mayor ! Paonessa will do if he is returned
 to the office is contained in part Of
 Ills formal statement announcing
 his candidacy and it is my conviction that better service can be rendered the citizens of New Britain through reorganization Of some branches of the government"
 This can mean only one thing that it is his desire to make a clean sweep in City Hall. If Paonessa is elected the axe is certain to swing and heads will be Topped off into ! the basket. No doubt paonessa could tell right now against whom the statement is directed and it is pos | sjble that he will name names and i offices during his campaign. There are several commissioners the dem ocralS feel the city could get along without. They are marked for the gulIlotlne and if the democratic leader wins at the polls he may not even wait for rcsignations.
 Of one thing the city can feel con- tident, So far as the principals are
 conCerned-this is eliminating Henry smith from the republican ranks i the campaign will be- clean. I.x- Mayor Pdonessa has said: My cam paign will be a clean one and I shall | expect my opponent to present his 1 cas" in the same manner" Donald i l.. Bartlett, who has announced that ! he iS a candidate for the republican ] nomination and who is expected to
 get il, has said: Tn conducting an
 active and vigorous campaign for { this office, I shall. and all associ-
 Ht"d with the effort. must pursue i methods worthy of the reward of 1 success from the voters of New Brit i aln." So, with both sides determined l 10 fight it out according 10 Marquis of Quaensbury rules, there should i be no blows struck below the belt, The democratic party has thrown ! the campaign machine into nigh g ar at the very outset and guaran-
 tees from five to p miles in five l seconds" The fiIst meeting of the campaign Yas scheduled for last
 night and a rally which is expected i to tax the capacity of T. 4. E. hall will be held next Monday night with l q novel entertainment program ar l ranged.
 | If paonessa is victorious it will i not be a personal defeat for Bart 1 lett No doubt the democrats will 1 follow their methods of four years ago when Paonessa defeated Judge l F. W. Allng, the republican nom- 1 inee. In that campaign the drive
 WAS directed not so much against Judge filling as against the repub | licau organization. Some of the re- 1 publican leaders of that era are no ! longer active in the party councils
 but several of them are still in lur-
 ness and the same policies are in
 effect. Bartlett has host of person. al friends but whether they will al- low their friendship 10 offset their
 dislikr of thr C. c. T.. organization
 Is q question which only the future
 can determine. During his member
 ship in the common council Bartlett
 has shown a spirit of independence
 which rcboundcd to his credit but
 as h- is the organization candidate
 if will be difficult for him 10 escape what the democrats consider the op-
 probrum of running with the ma chine behind him.

Poor New 1Ln gland.


 Picture the situation: 4 stony spot in nature marked by dead cities and abandoned farms; once smiling pas lures devoid of their flocks, com munity p2ycmcnts that will never resound to the tread of industrial armies. factories closed and their windows looking out upon dismal landscape lik" blinded eyes.
 Poor New England. according to the knockers who would have the world think that the northeast cor
 her of the United States is slipping fast.
 But, according to official statistics, the picture is not so depressing. The other day. the bureau of the census at Washington issued an estimate of populations for the year 1928. Eag crly We scanned the figures to learn
 just how far New England had slipped.
 Forget the desolation and look at
 the facts. Since the official census
 in 1920, the population of New Eng 1 land has increased TG3,917-
 this without Vermont in which little
 or no expansion is expected. l Massachusetts leads. as was to be ! expected. with an increase of 431. CA. Massa chusetts. there she stands. 1 Connecticut ranks second. the esti | mated increase being 2$6,2G9. Next 1 in line is Maine with an increase of | 2G,9S6. Fourth is New Hampshire l with 12.o17. The total is better than 1 three quarters of q million. For cons, it seems. We have been listening to the crepe hangers skin ming their knucklos on the doors and whisting a dirgo as they prepared 10 conduct the obsequies for New England. The land that knew the Puritan and saw him supplantcd with the blood and brawn of other ! Europeans was headed for the pit of oblivion. It was really too l for anything. Going. going, gone, like i the auctioneers' throaty shout, New 1 England was about to become an
 arid wxte. dcpopulated, d"-in1us- 1 trialized, de-everything mournful l that could be thought Of. All the | textile mills were transferring the
 scene of their activities to the south. l down where the cotton blossoms grow. Well, perhaps some of them have gone but New England has
 been able to hold up her head, stick ! out her chin and extend her hand ! to welcome newcomers here to take | the place of the textile plants. We
 were told that a great migration l toward the taroinas was on foot. An examination of the census bur 1 eau statistics shows that the csti- mated increase in the population of i North Carolina in eight years has
 been a1S.S77 and of south Carolina ! 1So,2TG, q total of t59.153. Match i that total with the increase in four
 New England states. 7G3.916. and write your own music.
