AN EASY JOB By Howard F. I3glzby

Being . nifty writer, I never liked manual labor. In fact, me and labor were vice versa. North and South, love and hate, if you get me.
 So when they caught me on that check raising job I was worried. Es- pecially when the judge gave me 15 years off for good behavior. Yeah, fifteen-years- on- the Hudson,
 The warden was q kindly soul. His policy was to put a man on the job he was best fitted for, so he asked me what l did back wonder. I told him l was an author.
 And what do you write?" the Warden inquired.
 ''I write jokes and humor."
 "Jokes, eh? Well. We'll! I have the very job for you. An easy job, too. By the way I suppose that check raising was one of your little jokes? Ha. Hal"
 "But what is the easy job you have for me?''
 "Oh, yess." the Warden replied See that man over there? He was a joke writer, too. You two will work together. All you have to do is: every five minutes you will ask him, Who was that lady I saw you with last night?'
 And what does he do?" I asked
 ''He says. that was no lady, that was my stripe

ELIMINATE MORE CROSSINGS


 At Apel's Crossing in Manchester the railroads crossing tender goes off duty at 6:30 p. m. After that automobiles are expected to get over the railroad tracks as best they may. As everybody does not go to bed between six and seven o'clock in Manchester the occupants of quite a number of machines enter the valley of death each day after the tender laves. Little to wonder at, therefore. that last May three men from New York state were killed at the cross ing and that yesterday a brother and sister met death there, a third being seriously injured.
 What the state needs is a law fore ing the railroads to provide two shifts of tenders at all grade cross ings. The crossings are dangerous because the railroad made them so and 1t is just that the railroad keep them safe through the employment of sufficient tenders.
 Another need: The Connecticut law as it is on the statute books re- quires the elimination each year of one grade crossing for each 50 miles of railroad track. This law is being almost entirely disregarded.
 Why not eliminate more death traps?

anyway.
 The lateyt flare has been caused. of course. by the discovery that the cost of sending some 50 high school pupils to the senior high in Berlin is going to cost more. Last year New Britain charged . tuition fee of s per pupil. This year the rate has gone up to &6 per pupil. Economical citizens in Berlin naturally have been forced to take notice, perhaps with some dismay. It costs Berlin ap- proximately $12.00O year to pay for educating it's high school pupils.
 The question in Berlin naturally arises: Why not build a local high school? The question has been brought up on previous occasions. Now Berlin has the example of Plainville before it and there must be citizens in the town who like the prospect exceedingly. Not only has Plainville fine high school, but 1t also serves the purposes of being an attractive civic building, an asset to. be proud of. Doubtless there are an increasing number in Berlin who think that what Plainville has done Berlin can do also.
 Berlin Of course can afford to build a high school building. All 1t needs is the will to build one. That ought to be more pronounced now than at any time previously.

OUT IN THI. WORLD

John Coolidge. son of the Presi- dent and Mrs. Coolidge, is going into the world 10 make his own way. He is eager and confident. But his parents? That is another story. To them come the misgivings and the heartburnings that come to all parents when the boy they have trained leaves the parental roof to erect one of his own. It means a severance of those intimate family ties that are the happiest con- comitants of married life. It means that the boy who was hitherto re- gardcd as belonging to the parents now relinquishes their protection and care and enters a sphere where the main thing ahead seems to be a ladder with many rungs in it, which is there to climb if he can. At such a time the parental roof becomes more of memory than an actuality. In due time the beaming lad erects his own roof, starts his own hearth- fire. Letters may come and go be- tween the new home and the old, but the old associations are no more.
 Little wonder. then. that ,frs. Coolidge spent nearly all of the last day with her son at Cedar Island Lodge. And the President, despite the lure of good fishing, had some thing more important to think about all day. And parents will understand why, at the close of the day, father and son had a last heart to- heart talk before the youngster left to bat tie with the world. Fathers can give a plenitude of good advice on such occasions; and that son is doubly wise who listens well and doesn't forget.
 Being the son of President, young Johns departure was a mat ter of nationwide interest. But the scene at Cedar Island Lodge is enacted thousands of times every year. There are always young men leaving home" to enter the fields of endeavor; in their minds eye they see the ladder called Success, and they are eager to begin climbing it. Few of them realize how easy it is to slip; few imagine anything ahead but the fruits of victory
 But while the boy is "out in the world" tackling it's problems with the energy Of youth and the fire of ambition, home where the parents are remains the center of inspiration Few that do not attempt to visit it light Of it's warm love and deep af- lection once more Fortunate is the youth whose parents remain of this earth long, ever ready to yield in spiration, care, advice and love.
 Good luck. John. And to all the other Johns who are headed along the same route.

Representative John C. ketcham, seemingly was, renomin- ated in the fourth district, and Rep resentative Grant Hudson appeared safe in the sixth. The three corner ed democratic contest in the sixth still was undecided.

ALWAYS IN TRANSITION

By Fred ID. DOlan Manhattan will be most beautiful
 town When new buildings are up and the
 pavements are down; But We never know now, when we
 breakfast or sup, Which buildings torn down or
 which street is torn up. As We gaze at a scaffolding up in
 the sky, We fall in the subway conveniently
 by; We trip OCT the pavement in more
 ways than one As We dream of the day when New
 York will be done. We tremble sometimes as we go to our beds Lest ere morning the roof cease
 from over our heads, The workmen are banging all over
 the town, Yet the buildings won't step up, the
 streets won't stay down: And until kind Fate in relenting
 decrees it, It's wise man that knows his own
 street when he sees it!

SPELLACY AND FITZGERALD
 BACK IN FAVOR

No, 1t isn't 2 case of Connecticut Al Smith Democrats having short memories. Thomas J. Spellacy and David Fitzgerald are back in favor because their support of McAdoo in 1sst has been explained upon the basis of personal honor.
 After the Madison Square garden hasco Spellacy and Fitzgerald were in low favor. But the Al Smith Democrats didn't know all the story, it seems. All they could see through the blinding glare of their anger was the picture of Spellacy and Fitz- gerald and the other McAdoo Demo- crats from the state supporting the dry apostle.
 Today. four years later. Spcllacy and Fitzgerald stand ace high with the Al Smith Democrats. The why and the wherefore is that there is an appreciation of honesty in politics that rugged sort of honesty which causes men to court the indignation of their fellows in order to keep pledge previously made.
 The story of course is that months previous to the Madison Square cockfight Spellacy and Fitzgerald had promised Homer s. Cummings, former national committeeman, and Mrs. Caroline Ruutz- Rees, national ommitteewoman, that they would support McAdoo. Cummings and Nrs. Ruutz- Rees. farsighted, had ob- tained the promises long before the battle began to wage. Despite the embarrassing situation that develop ed for Spellacy and Fitzgerald, what with telesrams and letters demand ing their abandonment of McAdoo arriving daily, if not hourly, they stuck to their promises. Their word was as good as their bond. The re- suit was they were in complete dis favor with their party throughout the state, which lasted to the start of the present campaign. But gradually they have returned to favor as their unstinted support of Al Smith began psrcolating throughout the common wealth; and also when it became known to the minor leaders that the support of McAdoo in 1924 had been due to being dragged into such SUD- port.
 If Spellacy and Fitzgerald have been on probation they have been completely vindicated. If condemna- ton has changed to praise 1t is be- cause there is appreciation for gentlemen when they value their pledge sufficiently to brave criticism.
 The city caucuses in New Haven last week showed Shat Fitzgerald once again is as popular as ever. His factions won in all the contests for delegates to the state convention.
 spellacy stands in high esteem in the national organization, too. as is indicated by the sinews of war that he has brought to this state, or is credited with having on tap.
 The resignation of Cummings and Mrs. Ruutz-Rees from the national committee in 1925 was the turning point in Connecticut Democracy. The leaders are now giving more evi- dence of trying 10 please the Demo- cratic voters.
