 Local automobilists are consider ing the formation of the New Britain Automobile club. The number Of local residents who now own mo- tor cars of one make or another has now become enough to warrant such action. It is pointed out that New Britain has gone into the manufacturing game and the club will give additional prestige. When the New Britain Wheel club was or ganized there were scarcely a dozen young men in the city who owned their own machines. Local automo-i bilists now include G. M. Landen, E. c. Babcock. L. J.

TRJ'NBuLL CHOOSES TO RUN

By way of an aside, Governor Trumbull has stated that he pre- ferred to step down from the heights of the gubernatorial throne at the end of his present term, but really. if the party again wants him to run he is willing. Which is by way of saying he is 8 candidate for the e-nomination
 It would not be good politics to come out too plainly about this mat ter. The governor has a private bus mess that requires attention; but there is no evidence that the private business has refused to progress since the boss has been governor. X logical appraisement of the Situ- alton tells the governor that it would continue to progress even If he did get another term. Anyhow, he has let the party in on the secret that the enterprise in Plainville would not go to smash if he happened to be nominated again and elected:
 The governor for some time past seems to have felt that he by rights is the logical party for another term. At least this is what We get from his recent statements Last March, for instance, he was discussing the proposal to have amateur boNing contests conducted under t.e super vision of the state athletic commits sion, when he made the remark: T will recommend such legislation to the next General Assembly or to my successor'
 The next legislature does not con- vene until 1929.
 The governors first term was not "in his own right" as the politicians term it, but came after Hiram Bine- lidIH itt" tD tllt ~ llttiC dl Afl s't " ing one day as governor. His second term was victory over Charles G. Morris. J. Edwin Erainard of Bran ford has been lieutenant governor with Trnmp bull and naturally the Rranford man has been cyeing the governors chair with that human aspiration which IS not beyond un- deretandlng The feeling within the organization has been that if Gov .rnor TrumbuIl steps down the logi- cal man to step up is MT. Brainard
 If the governor runs again there will be another tussie for the lieut. rnant goyernorshIp. with the mega phone voicr of Senator John H. Wp1rrms to be heard above the clamor Wudhams gay" Brainard a hot battl, for the nomination in 1926 and is bound 10 he hot con- tender at the next convention should Governor Trumbtll again head the state ticket. Opponents of the pres snt lieut. anant governor are already reported pulling various political strings and if there is no trouble al the Septem Der caucuses 1t will be q stroke of fortunate fate rather than good luck.

MEXICO

Will there be another revolution in Mexico?
 There is no doubt that there would be one if the discontented could put it over. The only way they could do it would be to influence a part or all of the army.
 That is where President Gales has the upper hand over pseudo tionaries, The army gives reasonable evidence of being 10o per cent loyal.
 The weather may be fine in Mexico but not for revolutions.

THE STATION AT BERLIN

About a year ago there was con- siderable agitation that there ought to be an underpass for passengers at the Berlin railroad depot. The danger of crossing the tracks was cited.
 Since that time nobody has been run down by train at the station, but the stage for tragedy still is set.
 The New Haven railroad ought to be willing to construct such an un- derpaSS for passengers without special urging.

The Old-FashiOned Garret And Its Store of Treasures

Modern boys may have advan- tages which lads of past generations could not enjoy but few ever know the hours of happiness spent in an old fashioned garret. In the up to date building there is economy of space. Not an inch is wasted and. consequently, garrets are rare,
 Dr. George M. Griswold of Berlin has unearthed a poem written bv the late Dr. Samuel Waldo Hart descriptive of the garret in the nome of his father. Dr. Samuel Hart, which was built in 1872 on the Village Green" in New Britain. oh the htle page of the pamphlet the reader is told that These lines Were written for Mrs. Lucinda Hart snlth and sent to her with .Our Mothers Front-stair Carpet Rods at Christmas time in 1880"
 For the benefit of those who don't hnoW "hat sure enough old carret was Ike, the Observer is reprintinx the following Illuminating lines:

Dr. Hart complained that the quilting frames were a nuisance. Whenever a neighbor wanted them. he was sent to the garret to bring them down. Frequently he had to take them to the neighbours house and bring them back and lug them up to the garret again.

Public Forum Not Suitable For Settling Big Issues

! Public forums as a method of set- ting momentous issues, favored by Mayor Paonessa as a means of of erecting an addition to the high school, are seldom fruitful of results. 1; The reason may be found in human nature, sentiment being too easily sWayed by spacious argument or demagoguery an appeal to economy the mass mind present by bringing in thoughts which have no proper place in debate.
 Properly constituted authorities should be able to solve the problem without asking the citizens in gen. eral to express their opinions. The facts are known. The high school cannot accommodate all pupils who wish to attend classes. It Is neces- sary to provide the accommodations which the city lacks. This can be done by erecting an addition to the high school building or by construct ing new building in the north end of the city. Either> would be ex- pensve. but one is necessary.
 An addition to the high school is favored by the board which voters have chosen to administer school affairs. Mayor Paonessa inclines to that group of public opinion which prefers to have new school erected in the north end. He is perhaps more easily influenced by talk along the streets, all of which is not prompted by solicitude for the city's welfare although many men and women sincerely believe that north end building is more desirable, The argument in favor of the school board is this: The members have an opportunity of studying the problem more closely and, having been aware for some time that con- ditlons were reaching a crisis, have devoted more attention to the sit uatfon than the average person not assoclated with school department affairs.
 As the head of the municipal government Mayor Paonessa must exercise caution over expenditures. He was elected to office partly be- cause property owners know him to froWn upon waste and extravaganza, Naturally he wants to reach the most suitable way out of the dilemma which the city confronts. The writer does not believe this solution can be reached by means of public forum where the voice of inexperience. not to mention the voice of personal parsimony. some- times shouts louder than the voice of conservative iudgment.

TIE OBSER YEP Makes Random Observations
 On the City an0 Its People

1 milk from a dealer who has his own herd and each COW is thoroughly and regularly tested and the milk is handled properly and sensibly, there IS no need for pasteurization and medical authorities are not by any means agreed that in this case pasteurization is to be desired. The gist of the whole argument is that one should be sure of getting milk that is kept pure and kept cool. If it is permitted to get above 55 degrees in temperature it is in danger and if above 65 it is declared by state law to be illegal and must be destroyed.
 Pasteurization is process where- by milk is subjected to alternate hot and cold treatments to extremes which kills disease bacteria. For this reason physicians advise pas teurized milk where the source of the raw product is in doubt. Raw milk from a known tested herd, kept on ice and delivered cold is just as>gOOd.
 This Record Business
 Has Us Gasping for Air
 It was with a distinct thrill that We read the other day of new worlds record. Georgia Volo had gone an done it, establishing new mark for three year old fillies on & half mile oval track. Nothing could have created more delight. Every thing was all set for the spectacu- lar event. Georgia is a lilly, the track was half mile long and it was oval. Eureka.
 These records and championships are becoming amusing. We expect to hear Georgia's achievement chal- lcnged because it was accomplished at SIP D. m. The challenger, no doubt, will claim that she still holds the record for that distance on an oval track half mile long made before three o'clock in the after noon.
 Fighting provides glaring ex- ample of silly claims for distinguish ed honors. The old classifications are gone by the board. We now have the hcavies and light heavies. In the old days a man was a heavy weight or he wasn't, and if he was he was always in mood to tackle anybody, any tune. There were no fine shadings. They weighed 'em on hay scales and didn't count the ounces.
 Going lower down in the weight list there are now lightweights and junior lightweights and the sucker public is left to determine which is which or remain in the dark. A lightweight, as we understand it, is a junior lightweight who has just had a heavy meal or is carrying the evening paper home in his pocket. The game of maui isn't what it used to be-
 Then there are track sports We read of Flying Soandso clipping d fifth of second off worlds rec ord but the time is not recognized because the wind was from the northeast instead of the southeast or maybe some spectator blew his breath at him as he was flashing past.
 This record business is funny. stlll, we're glad that Georgia Volo has shown her speed on an oval track half mile in length. We could just clap our hands with glee,
