Counatssios,cf PropOsed ror State Trade Schools

For State Trade Schools
 If the general assembly receives and passes on . bill now before the education committee to divorce the state trade school system from con- trol by the state board Of education, if will have accomp mplished . task to which many thoughtful citizens have devoted serious attention.
 Under present conditions the state trade schools suffer from dictation by the state board which is com posed for the greater part of persons who lean toward the academic. Their minds being academic minds. they probably have difficulty getting down to brass tacka and realizing the great needs of the trade school system. Otherwise they would not have stood meekly by and watched the state commissioner of education dismiss Frederick J. Trinder last winter from the pest Of director of state trade schools. Mir. Trinder had devoted the greater part of his life to the Connecticut field. He was qualified more than any other individual to appreciate the needs of the system. Through daily contact with teachers and pupils he knew first hand what should be done to improve conditions. But without warning he was discharged from office because, it Is suspected. his 0OjnionA did mt r,ln nc ro llel v,;f k those of the commissioner. If he wanted to be . 'yes" man he would have retained his position. But he preferred to euiae his course by his knowledge of conditions and by hts interest in the boys and girls whe

TIE BOULEVARD EXPERIMENT


 ProxreM is linked with experi- ments. The particular experiment that confronts the city. and which may lead to progress. is the boule- yard traffic system alonS West Main street, and such other streets as the police commission may desisnate. After six months we will be that much richer in experience. Whether we will retain the system or wheth- CT we are to diacart it depends upon the nssure of the ] 11per'snce; AS y we vaAsrstAnA It, cars from the aide streets arc to come to . full stop before entering or crossing West Main street. When traffic is heavy along the boulevard our guess IS that some of the cars on the inter- secting streets will remain parked for some time.

SOONER OR LATER

It is no secret that there is an un- ending feud between the state Re.
 publican organization and States
 Attorney Hugh NJ. Alcorn of Hart ford county. Having weathered the
 attempt which came through the
 governors proposal of some time
 ago that the states attorneys be
 brought under the jurisdiction of the
 attorney seneral-an effort that seems to have been dropped because of the coldness with which 1t was received on capitol hill-alons comes
 an effort that has made a bid to be more successful. The House this
 week passed bill that would give
 the state board of finance and con-
 trol jurisdiction over the salaries of states attorneys and their assistants, of prosecuting attorneys and their
 assistants in the courts of common
 pleas. Although this bill applies to
 all states attorneys and to all prose
 cutors, no one is in the dark as to
 which particular states attorney
 would first feel the brunt of the bill
 if passed into law.
 The Waterbury Republican comes
 forward with the statement that the state board of finance and control ts a political body, and as such ough, not to have control over such sal aries. Such control. it ayers, would be tantamount to possessing the power to force an official who does not play marbles with the political machine to resign.
 If it be true that the state board of finance and control is funda- mentally | political machine then the contention of the Waterbury edi- tor is correct. Nobody in connection with the state machine would be willing to admit the state finance board is primarily political ma chine, however. When it was formed the idea was to make it . super- financial machine rather than a po- litical machine; it's object was to "cut down expenses" and "savG the state 33,00O,00o." It has saved the state some money. and in that re- spect it's record undoubtedly pesses- ses good political talking points for the organization which sponsored 1t.
 As it's name would imply, the state board of finance and control wishes to control everything in sight hav- ing a bearing upon the states fi- nances. Manifestly the salaries of officials come under this category; anyway, that is the way the thing is reasoned out in Hartford
 Sooner or later the state political will shear the wool from the lambs and the hide from the bulls. If there is . fight between the Republican organization and certain officials the safest way to gamble would be to place ones on the organization. The only way to change the outlook would be to elect the rival political organiza- tion in the state; and as Senator Peasley. majority leader. stated the oher day. there is no such possibili- fy in sight. This is primarily due to the fact that the critics and editors " ho lambast the state political ma chine between elections invariably help it during the campaign. If the of critics would remember what they criticized about when the election campaign starts perhaps the tate machine would not "overplay ts hand" 50 frequently. The time to the deck is during an cleo l ion campaign, not between elec- ions,

EXERCISE! By Frances Merriam

Mir. Amos Portly strongly resents the charge that men who attend baseball games are paying eighteen athletes to take their exercise for them. Mir. Porty. who is an ardent fan, insists that he names no proxies for his daily dozen.
 He states he leaves the office and rides out to the ball game soon after luncheon. Even If the cars were not crowded. he would be sure to stand up after eating. He makes it even more strenuous by taking seats and giving them up to ladies as often as they stand directly in front of him and give him dirty looks.
 At the gate. he stands in line: then jogs easily to his seat. Don't think for a minute he lolls i-' that seat. He favors tense position on the edge of it. ne gets that excited. Then he :s always doing . knes- bend exercise. up and down. up and down. especially after the first half of the seventh inning.
 He does not neglect deep breathing but lraws air into his lunes and exhalcs it loudly in the form of criticism of the umpire or somc members of the visiting team. Ills fingers get . good workout. for he keeps the complete box score. He clamps and unclamps his jaws on . cigar. And ysu should sss the way he stamps his feet!
 Perhaps the best exercise of all are the peanut calosthenica. Ar. Portly invariably consumes . bag or 70 of peanuts during . game. as as the fans behind him. That exsrcise he performs practically ''by the numbers:" l. Brush from head and peanut shells scattered by those behind. 2. She'll and eat pea nuts. :. Scatter shredded shells on heads and sh oul1ers of those in front. And repeat.
 In spite of all his exertions. how ever. MT. Portly has noticed rsluct- antly that his girth is steadily in- creasing. That has led him to ex- press the conviction that exercise at his time of life is no use!

Sound and Sound Clash At Thcatcr Entertainments

Now we know why they are called sound pictures.
 The truth dawned on us the other evening while attending . show in 2 local theater. Seated in the row be- hind was group which included two women. Then ensued a battle to see whether they could make more noise than the sound apparatus.
 While the hero was being taken to Sing Sing, or some other prison, the women proceeded to discuss other things, octasionally comment- iug aloud on what was transpiring on the screen. The result was some- thing like this: ...
 The Warden: Ny boy, you are not as tough as you think you are. See those two fellows just leaving 
 A Woman: "T think it's SO silly to run dovn to the island just for the weekend ."
 The Warden: We're going to give you chance to prove that you are ia man. You sanssters think :"
 A Woman: Why. there are no maids there and we'd have 90 much work :"
 The Warden: "After you have been with us for a while D
 A Woman: And the expense would hardly be worth it ..."
 Later. during the showing of the picture. the writer was informed of what Mrs. Soandso had for bridge favors, and . thousand of other triAing items that didn't interest him but which he could not avoid hear ing.
 If people like to make speeches fin public places they should hire halls for the purpose. The majority of theater addicts like their entertain ment undiluted with conversation in the audience. Having paid their money for admission. they expect 10 be allowed to enjoy the show in peace. Good manners demand that consideration be shown for others. Dut this lesson, 1t seems, never will be learned by . few who consider themselves not bound to respect the justifable desires of persons sitting near them.
 All too often the offense of talk ing aloud during the presentation of theater programs is committed by women whose appearance leads to the belief that they have had the advantages of having been reared in cultured circles. Perhaps their cul- ture is cloak which they feel at liberty to slip of when they think they are not being watched.

 ''Talkies" Making threads
 ca Stage Actoes Ranks
 Casting for the legit shows of Broadway. dramatic and musioal. is weekly becoming more difficult than predicted. Raids made by the talk CTS upon the best stage talent is rapidly narrowing down the es- abolished held of the lesit.
 A producer with six scripts in view for next season is said to have temporarily abandoned his plans the past week. not seeing an available list of choice players for the roles of the first two. The musical com edy end is fast going toward the same situation.
 Broadway producers of each type of stage show are blamed. despite the takers demands. The stage drama producers have held unre- lentinsly for years to what has been known as ''the Broadway group" of legits leads and actors. Seldom was . now face permitted to break in. No new talent meantime has been developed for tho drama. With the sudden inroads of tho Hollywood casters, the leSit men find their source Of stage supply fast moving 
 It h claimed that if the legit plays proceed to production for next season, their producers will have to draw upon the hinterland. mostly from those who have played in stock companies, for complete casts. Sim ilarly. musical comedy producers may have 10 take chances upon un- knowns.
 One of the talking picture oflices in New York, which has contracted for large number of actors 70 far, says 1t will more than double the present consignment before July l, retaining all.
 Another report is that the de- nand for the lesit actors has grown 70 acute on the coast studios that their casters east are accepting peo. pie upon recommendation of experi. enced agents. allowing the tests to do lhe rest. That is unprecedented in talker engagements.
