What Is the Worst
STONlACHACHE

Uu EVIL l1dA
Continued from Yesterday
Dear Editor:
l amt much on writing, but no.
ticed your stomachache contest and
wanted to tell you about the time ]
like TO died.
Me and one of the neighbors went
fishing, and started out at night.
We drank little home brew before
and maybe it was that, but what
ever twas we no sooner got out IN
the boat when both OF US felt those
awful pains. We are both crazy
about fishing, and you can imagine
how bad the pains got when ] say
we had to quit and lay on the bank
for over three hours.
This is the worst stomache ]
ever had.
Carl Sweet.

NEW FACTORY BUILDINGS

New factory buildings have been erected in New Britain during the past few years and some are still under construction. The point about the new buildings is that they are not only new. but they are of the most modern construction and ap- pearance. Indeed, they look just like those in the ads depicting big in- dustrial plants in the west-auto- mobile plants. for instance.
 The main difference between the old type of factory structure and the new looking at them from the outside-is that the new possess 9 plethora of large windowa The age of sunlight has arrived. and it is no longer considered necessary to have factory walls punctured only here and there with openings for com paratively small windows. The new buildings, indeed, possess more win dow space than wall space, steel construction making this possible.
 The city's new factory structures give every evidence that the plants in this city are intent upon having only the most modern plants pos sible. The claim, frequently made, that majority of the plants in New England are old, decrepit and filled with out-moded machinery certainly does not apply to New Britain. That is one reason why. perhaps, hard ware products originating in New Britain more than hold their own all over the world.

IT MUST HE DONE

Chief Noble of the hrs department is to bs commanded fer ratsang ob' jections against blocking the Main street crossing while repairs are made at that jsrky point The chief was loaded with responsibility and realis. ed fully that if the fire laddtes wsre inordinateiy delayed in rolling to . blase that criticism would descend upon his head for having acQuiesced.
 When Mayor Paonessa. however, agreed to take over full respona- bility as head of the city government the situation was relieved fer the fire chief. What may happen now is none of his business, and he no doubt is glad of 1t.
 The plan for repairing the cross- ing calls for doing the work bet ter than it has ever been done be- fore. For years there has been com. plaint about the condition of the crossing and ordinary repairs have suf9,ced little. Now 1t will be repair ed in | manner to stay put for . long time. The city must bs prepared to undergo inconveniences to achieve that end; and the railroad and street car company likewise share the troubles.

heavy rails several years ago. The branch Inc now h quite as smooth . line as the main line: heavy loco- motives can run over 1t. pulling much longer freight trains than in former years.
 Danger at the grade crossings. however. has been increased in pro- portion. Most of these additional freight trains run through the city in the evening hours. and autoists have just that much more to contend with.
 The outlook is that the branch line will increase its usefulness year. ly while its usefulness aa . passenger artery at least does not Increase. It makes no difference to an autoist whether he is struck by freight or passenger train-the results are usually about the same.
 If the New Haven is to operate more and more night freights over the branch line, however, it's respon- sibility to maintain an airtight cross- ing tending system naturally in- creases. We hope that point is being looked after.

Wild life-what is it worth ?

Wild life--What IS It worth
 W. c. Henderson, associate chief of the Biological Survey of the u. s. Department of Agriculture. found himself in New Hampshire the other day and proceeded 10 awaken this New England common wealth to the importance of it's wild animal life. What he said in New Hampshire holds good for most other states.
 The insect destroying services Of birds in New Hampshire, he said, is worth s1.5oO,o0o year; valuation of flesh. fur and feathers, $4o0.oO0; recreational values and tourists, s. 900, 900; returns from game, and from license fees &1OO,0O0; for gen. eral expenditures made by hunters, S1,500,00O. A grand total of &c., 5oO.000.
 Yet there are some shortsighted folks who do not believe ill game conservation.

THE ISSUE IN TWISTED

According to the papers, there Is always something unusual happen ing in Winsted. The town has had more publicity of sort than all the small towns in Connecticut com bined.
 The Hoover Smith campaign con- test may be mildly interesting in Winsted, but it cant hold q candle as to the agitation about the width of the post office door. Corpulent citi- xens, 1t seems. can scarcely squeeze through it.
 The way to circumvent Wash ington bureaucracy in this matter is for Winsteders to eat less and re- duce more.

MORE TUNNELS

Railroads which must encompass mountains in their windings acros the continent havo been showing commendable enterprise in the capi- tai and effort invested in the con- struction of mountain tunnels.
 There is the Great Northern, for instance. Last November this rail- road completed . tunnel II miles long from Peshastin to Winton. Washington, on the eastern slope of the Cascade mountains; in December it contemplates opening another tun- nel through the Cascade mountains this bore being 2 s-l miles long.
 The new tunnel cost tls,ooo,ooo; it will reduce the time of passenger trains by more than an hour: it will reduce the time of freight trains four hours. In addition. it will extend the railroads Identification plans.
 The enterprise of the railroad is especially commendable in view of the fact that the northwestern rail- roads have been hard hit by tho agricultural slump of the past few years, It is self f-evident. therefore. that the railroad does not anticipate this slump to continue indefinitely. No railroad corporation would make heavy investments merely to improve an already existing right of way If the future did not appear to justify it.

 Webber Wilson of Mississippi. Will be on tonisht's platform and ta,sir story, particularly that of Congrses- man Wilson. will be of tnterest. Representative Wilson comes tron the south. If Smith b te be elect ed he must have the solid support of the south, and Wilson is the .hrst public speaker who has appeared here who should be in position to report the reaction ef the district below the Mason-Dixon line to AL fred E. Smith and his platform.
 Tomorrow night, Senator F.. c. Walcott. who is Lonergan's oppon- ent, is to be the featured speaker at 2 republican rally. MT, Walcott IS we'll thought Of in New Britain. He has been an active and successful member of the legislature and hts influence has been felt in New Britain. His popularity was proved in . previous visit to New Britain when the women's republican head quarters were overcr0wded and an overflow gathering heard him from a nearby lawn.
 Congressman F.. Hart Tenn will also be heard. Congressman Fam has 8 long recofd of service in the lower house at Washington. If he h elected in November he will en- ter into his fourth term at the na- tion's capitol. -
 Fenn has been the representative of this district since the retirement of Lonergan.
 Local candidates will also be In the ticket and it is probable that someone of national prominence will be brought here for the evening.
 The women of both parties are coming to the fore this year. AL ready several whist parties have been held and between hands" the has been discussed.
 Both headquarters are bustling hives of activity. with work center- ed on the task of bringing in new voters. This work will continue up to October g, when activities will shift to the duty of convincing those who have filed applications that 1t is important that they appear be- fore the registrar and selectmen for Then the campaign will be a hot one in New Britain. This city will welcome such a campaign it Is { long time since New Brtt- ain has really warmed up to oid- time election interest.

THE GIRL FROM THE

AS if in answer. . pony dashed up the slope with a saddle full of pretty girl She was beautiful daughter of the great open spaces. With bobbed hair that fell gracefully to the small of her back. She smiled and showed q mouthful of pearls.
 i've been eating oysters she ex- plained. like. ourcattle are on q stampcde-both of them. What shall I .do?"
 The foreman rolled . cigarette absently and lit his moustache. stampede? Stamfunny!" he rSut- tered. Why are you riding q side saddle:"
 Tt isn't a side saddle-it's a back saddle" she explained.
 "Will you kiss me-" Ike de- manded.
 like ant" she whispered. "I'm engaged to Bill-and besides," she added. softly. Pm married to George. George is terribly jea,ous when one of the cowboys kissed me yesterday George shook his finger at him severely. You really mustn't, Ike"
 With a snarl, he leaped at her. leveling his lips at her. A kiss rang out, shattering the stiffness and echoing across the prairie. Smack. Smack! Ike again fired his six kisser and the girl tumbled from her horse.
 What do you mean by kissing my wife" yelled the girls hus- band from behind two trees, 15 feet apart.
 ''Be careful! This is still loaded!" Ike tapped his mouth significantly. ''Three kisses still remain. Hands up or I'll smack"
 A loud report rent the stillnes. at 370 . week and the husband sank to the ground. morRlly kissed. With snarl, Ike wiped his moustache just as the girl leaped into his arms To the victor belong the goils!

Herman Kopplemann Popular With Wounded War Veterans

There's one set of men in -the first congressional district who hailed the nomination of Herman P. kopplemann by the democrats with special delight. Those men are none other than the world war wounded veterans Kopplen,ann for years. has helped out financially and worked wholeheartedly for the wounded soldiers camp at Mantle. He's director of that camp today. and the entire personnel of directors who worked with him know away down in their hearts that Kopple- mann was in the work for the love of it, not to further political ana hition.
 Wounded soldiers get in trouble time to time, and the two men in Hartford whom they turn to are Frank Pallotti and Herman Kopple- mann. Doing good for them Is a hobby with both of these men, and the writer, knowing how Kopple- mann works, knows that he would rather be defeated than have the work that he loves paraded to political advantage. In fact, Kopple- mann wouldn't want this little ap- preciation of him to appear in print, but he knows a person running for office has no control over what people have to say about him. All the writer can wish for, if this gets the democratic nominee for congress excited, is that he doesn't get half as disturbed about it as he does down at Mantle when Sunday din- ner is a bit late.

NUTMEG RECORD IN RATIFICATIONS


 Ernest H. Cherrington. director of the Anti Saloon League of America, writing in Current History magazine for August, made this statement:
 Actually only two states
 have failed to speak positively
 upon this subject of national
 prohibition. Those states were
 Rhode Island and Connecticut.
 Reference to the history of Con-
 necticut would show that this
 state has ratified very few
 amendments to the federal con-
 stitution. Such inaction seems to
 be the custom of the state" It Is true, that if all the amend ments to the Constitution are con- sidered, Connecticut failed to ratify majority of them: but this record is due to the fact that Connecticut, early in its history. refused to ratify the first twelve amendments. These twelve are of early vintage and are popularly referred to as the bill Of rights. Connecticut did not ratify them. and neither did Massac chusetts or Georgia. The first ten came up at the first congress sitting in the City of New York in 17s9 and were fully ratified two years later. The 11th was ratified by 179S; the 18th by 1894.
 The Anti Saloon League director holds Connecticut's failure to ratify these early amendments against the state record. and If so included it is found that the state actually failed to ratify majority of the 19 amend ments 50 far accumulated. But the same system Of reckoning would place Massachusetts. mother Of commonwealths. in the same dubious category.
 When We come to the other seven amendments, however, there is . different record. Connecticut in 1865 ratified the 18th, or anti-slavery amendment: in 1866 it ratified the 14th, the due process of law" amendment and relating to citizen. ship; in 1869 it ratified the 18th. re- lating to the right to vote; in 1S11 it ratified the 17th. relating to election of l.. S. senators by popular vote: and in 1920 it ratified the 18th, g1v- ing to women the right to vote.
 This is a total of five notifications from the 18th amendment on.
 Connecticut did not ratify the 1Gth, relating to income taxes; it did not ratify the 18th, or prohibition amendment
 This is a total of two failures to
 
 ratify from the 18th amendment on.
 Citizens Of Connecticut today naturally do not regard it fair to hold failure to ratify the first F amendments against the state, inas- much as the principles for the most part thus enunciated have undoubt- ed popular approval. The 12th amendment. relating to the method electoral college system, would have been better not ratified. as 1t is cumbersome and risks the will of the majority being defeated

THE OBSER VER- Makes Random Observations
 On the City anO lts People

Berlin's Heated Campaign
 Presascd Sp,tt-Tk.ket Vote Restoring Humpty Dumpty to his pristine form and glory is quite 2
 simple venture compared to un-
 scrambling the political situation in the neighboring town of Berlin.
 where democrats and republicans arc 70 mixed up that 1t is almost im- possible to distinguish them. It II reported that more split ballots will
 be cast in the coming town election than ever before.
 The Smith Hoover contest has no
 bearing on the situation. It will be a battle of individuals on town elec- ton day next Monday and the can-
 didates with the largest personal following will probably win. When the democrats met in cau- GUS recently to select . town ticket they dropped Constable John P. Lewis. substituting the name of Will liam Cole. MT. Lewis enjoys wide popularity in the town and his friends arc said to resent the freeze out to tho extent that Lewis will be found in the race as an independent. An amusing sidelight on the situa- ton is the fearful solicitude of some of the leading republicans. who have declared with sobs that the slight- ing of Lewis was an injustice which the voterHshould remedy on election day. Their anguish is touching and as they go around town shaking with grief 1t the rudeness of the democrats they give the impression that their hearts will break before the ballots are cast. It is reported that the inspiration to run Lewis as an independent came from the re- publican camp. This is not slam at their sincerity but anyone can realize that split in the democratic camp will not exactly injure the chances of the republican candidates of being elected.
 Another disagreement which Is beclouding the situation is caused by the renomination by the democrats of Raymond F. Dyer. a selectman, and the nomination of Frank J. Pier pont, either of whom will be named third selectman, the other places going to republicans. Dyer has held office for several years. Friends of Pierpont have started movement to cut Dyer. forcing him out of office and electing Pierpont
 The women's vote is expected to be a determining factor in the election. The fair sex are reported playing an active part in the campaign on both sides, hustling for votes and using their persuasive arts and tlandishments to prevail upon voters to see the welfare of the town from their angle.
