1llAAt h OkaNL1NN VI A4WkPAAA ~A' and off cars as they pass along the l, route.
 AS the cars are in charge of ] one man crew, it Is impossible for the motormau-conductor to operate 1 the vehicles and watch the rear end at the, same time. The crews ars forced to exercise unusual vigilance 1 in watching ahead because the cars l run through congested district where the streets. in many cases. arc used freely by boys and girls for ; playground purposes. Boys take ad- vantage of this situation and frs' quently climb on the rear step or hang on the pack and ride for blocks or until they are seen by the J usotorman-coni iuctor. who is forced to stop the car and chase them away.
 Getting something for nothing has . universal appeal. There fs a cer- Etain delight in becoming possessed i of something for which payment is not exacted. "One Eye" Connolly
 lives in every one Of us. It is not
 strange, therefore. that boys like to
 hop on trolleys and "steal . ride. :" There is | thrill about the venture.
 But the action cannot be excused
 on these grounds. It is a dangerous
 practice, oftentimes resulting in in- jury, and should be stopped. The
 trolley crews have reached the end
 of their wits trying to devise waya ia and means of stopping it but they cannot operate their cars and chase boys at the same tune.
 The solution of the problem liea |, with the parents. Boys must be told
 of the danger they run and if they
 do not accept the warning in tn. right spirit and persist in the prac' e. tice a liberal application of a slip 1 per in the right spot should be re- : sorted to. Woodsheds have gone out F of style but a slipper of persuasive
 eloquerce may be found in mos ? we'll regulated homes.
 For many years New Britain ha } been pointed to with polite. more O |less condescension aS g. city of flor q cigners." If the assertion is base
 on the amount of foreign bloo' : which flows in the veins of its resi
 dents, there would be grounds fo e the statement, although it would no
 reflect on the community. But fl .- gures printed on the first page

 The population of this city is ea
 timated at so,00o. The statistics re :" ferred to, which cover the subject state of birth. show that of the tots
