A NEW PAVEMENT

The first stretch of new payement. or top dressing on an old brick pave ment. has been finished on West Main street. between South Burritt and Lincoln streets. Autoists yester- day rolled over it without thought. except perhaps to note that some thing else again has been done to to the pavement" as one facetiols- ly expressed if.
 This is an experiment, 3 new idea. Heretofore if has been thought necessary to rip ID an old psveme nt before smoothing down 3 new one. 1T this experiment turns out well 1t will mean the saving of thousands of dollars to taxpayers. as there are many old psyemsnts in the city which to be made smooth will not need to be torn ID but can be used as an underlying base for new top.
 It is too early, Of course. to judge the success of this system. In New Haven. the first city in Connecticut where it was tried. the results are said to be gratifying, If this is true there Is no reason why similar suc- cess should not attend the efforts here.

We note with amusement that the only chop suey restaurant in Picking failed when there were not enough Americans in town to support it. The explanation was that Chinese don't know what chop suey is. which originated in the United States. All of which may be the one and only reason for the failure: but another probably Is that since tho Chinese Nationalist government decided upon Nanking as the national capital the city of Peking is going to the dogs faster than any city in modern history.

SPORTY POLICE

The police school recently started in this city seems to have been un- successful in some respects. The boys in blue no doubt got bit of addi- tional elementary training in them, and perhaps some of them benefited greatly. But few Of them have at tained greater prominence than by travelling exclusively along the road of learning; they have gotten their names and their dolngs in the pub lie prints in a not too favorable light.
 4 week or so go the public read of an automobile containing a few policemen figuring in what the re- porters are fond of calling a crash. That may not be anything at all out of the way: cops in automobiles are as likely to meet something head-on or side-on as any other estimable citizens. But some of the critical public immediately indulged in glv- ing currency to d rumor that the machine had been used in what is termed joy-r riding, We didn't believe the rumor: at least concluded that cops off duty had a right to the pursuit of liberty and happiness along with the rest of us Unfor- tunately some of the public will naturally not be so charitable. After all, 1t may be best for cops not to get into smash-ups.
 Now we discover that cop is charged with having been a partici- pant in card game while another in uniform was an interested specta. tor. Playing cards is not against any law. per SC; but this particular card game. 1t is alleged, was encountered with sundry stakes-which of course
 
 is against the law made and provided to protect the morals of the citizen- ship. Many there are who can see no sense in trying to regulate the private habits Of card players in this fashion; but be that as it may. 1t is hard to realize that cops can go in for such things after having been properly educated in a police school
 Cards sometimes come high and cause participants to lose sleep as well as money. A policeman with plenty of luck at such soiree would have nothing to worry about: but if he should lose too consistently ol course that would interfere greatly with his easy mind when on duty The surprising thing about the incl. dent is that no greater care was ex. ercised against prying eyes Many accomplished gamblers in and out ot the city do their stuff without any cop ever being the wiser: and here we find cops themselves, if the charges are sound, being such pooi practitioners that they cannot ever hide their efforts effectively enough to prevent the public from knowing all about it.
 Of course. we are sorry. The boys evidently were entirely devoid o1 luck. It is clear that more care vii have to be utilized in the future.

Down in New Jersey Republican politicians are said to be assuring the voters that the only effect of prohi- bition has been that 1t has increased the price of liquor. but in view of Republican prosperity everybody in the state has the price for the drinks, and for this reason Hoover should be elected. The grand old party politicians are adding by way of s postscript that if Smith is elect ed prohibition may really begin to work because the people might not have the increased prices to pay for their drinks. How the Democrats meet this ingenious argument is not stated.
