towns from railroad rights of ways which usually traverse the worst sec tions of nearly every place. Motor coach travel seems 10 be the next thing to the satisfaction of automo- bile travel.
 This new species of competition should teach the railroads that their passenger fares are too high. But they refuse to accept such knowledge and keep them al war time rates. Considering their much advertised prosperity a reduction in the passon- ger fares would be advisable; yet that is the last thing they think about when contemplating the in roads of the bus traffic"
 This being the prevailing notion among the railroad mGgnatos, no ore need be surprised to see the motor coach business continue 10 increase year by year. The railroads have themselves to blame, and not the motor coaches. The coaches are providing cheap transportation, and despite universal prosperity and the tendency to waste money. cheap travel continues in demand.

\ SMOOTHER CORBIN ANE\TE

Corbin avenue has become an inn portant artery of traffic. The city for several years has been encouraging automobiles to use other arteries than the comparatively few main arteries penetrating the downtown section. Autoists are discovering that it can be done But Corbin avenue isn't as smooth as an important artery ought 10 be- and if the board of public works has it's way it will be graded and paved next spring.
 There was talk of making this street a state highway. by way of getting the state to care for it's pay ing, and possibly for other reasons. It was a grand idea, but nobody need depend too much upon the state to pave a highway once it is accepted among the elected high ways of the state government. There are too many Of these for which inn provcments have been authorized but there is no money on hand to go further. The Cat Hole road is one of them.
 The city. if it wants action on Cor bin avenne, will have to take it it. self. That will mean a minimum of delay.
 The board of public works has been very active this year. and de- serves the congratulation of citizens generally. The pavement of Wash ington street, just completed. looks like most attractive piece Of work. This thoroughfarc, however. is only one of many which have been simi- larl} improved this year.

THE BRISTOL PRIMARY

The Bristol primary elicited wide spread interest in the Brass City and resulted in a record vote, This is gratifying.
 Frank k. Kent, one Of the most penetrating of political writers, has repeatedly shown in his obscrva- tions that primaries are more im- portant in many cities than the rcgu- lar elections, Let political machines choose the candidates and it makes little difference to the public how important it feels when it votes The main work in such cases is done at the primaries.
 In Bristol nOnpartisan system, whereby party affiliations ostensibly do not count in a municipal election, again worked well. The voters con- sidercd the men aspiring to be candidates rather than the parties. Yet it is significant that Donnelly, a Democrat, was eliminated as mayoralty candidate. running a bad third. Actually the two candidates for mayor, Messrs. Crumb and Hough, are Republicans. That is no consideration to the voters, however, who are supposed to be swayed cN- tirely by the personal fitness of the two mon for the office.
 The point about the Bristol primary that will gain much atten- ton is that it's nonpartisan character did not result in lessened interest, but that the contrary was the fact. It is beginning to be more evident almost everywhere that citizens are more interested in men than in parties.

 Detectives Michael J. Flynn and Orion X. O'Toolc of the Vice Squad were watching the entrance to an apartment house. It was too serious a charge to ignore.
 About three in the afternoon two woll-drcsscd men stopped in front of the building.
 T simply must have shinc," said the younger Of tho two. Cant go 10 that party tonight unless have one"
 Better not. It's too risky" warn cd the older man. "Besidcs' they'll probably have plenty of stuff at the party, Why not waltz"
 No. You cant trust this strange stuff. I'm sure of this mans stuff Been using it right along. Come on. Nou need one, toO,'
 The detectives looked at one an other significantly and Flynn went lO t''tpHOn".
 Twenty minutes later the two mis- creants appeared again. They were both obviously well polished and went sWaggcrng off arm and arm. Five minutes elapsed and a patrol of uniformed officers arrived. A crowd gathered and the police, ps- tols and clubs in readiness, raidcd the hcll-holc.
 Flynn and O'Tolle had done their work well. A complete shoe shining equipment with all the old trim mings; high chairs, brass-lion foot rests, and dirty whislbroom. was discovered. Fifteen boxes Of black ing, several cans of cleaner and a lot of rags and brushes were taken to the station house for evidence and are being analysed.

FRUSTRATING" THE FIFTH
 WARD

All possible efforts should be made to provide a swimming pool for the fifth ward, If it is possible to turn SWanson's pond into an acceptable and hcalthful pool it should be done We do not think the matter should be allowed to rest upon the report that as at present constituted the pond is unhcalthful for bathing pur- poses, The question is, can the pond be turned into satisfactory swim ming pool? That point has not been settled Our opinion is that before the decision is final not 10 use the pond for such purpose this mat ter be clarified.
 The Fifth Warder" who in a communication in the Herald at tributcd opposition toward a swim machinations may be right or wrong; but in his communication he brought out certain fundamental consider ations that should be met before the possibility of a swimming pool at this point is definitely eliminated. The writer clpimed, with a consider able show of conviction, that the pond could be made as clean as any other bathing or wading spot around the city, citing the fact that the ponds in Stanley Quarter and Willow Brook were "mudholcs" before the city cleaned them up.
 It is within memory that the wad- ing pool atop Walnut Hill also was not such a very clean place before the present sanitary system was in stalled.
 If Swanson's pond can be purified and made permanently sanitary through the expenditure of a reason able amount Of money it bchooves the city to know about it, There possibly is need to consult with different sort of experts than any hitherto employed.

 e. Why ar" trees more often struck by lightning than any other objects? Is any particular kind of tree more apt to he struck than some other kind?
 A. Trees are the objects most often struck by lightning for the following reasons: They are very numerous. As a part Of the ground they extend upward and shorten the distance 10 q cloud. ThcOr spread distance 10 a cloud Their spread ing roots in the ErOund present an excellent form of conducting cleo trlcal discharges to tho earth. A heavy driving rain, such as accom- panlos the average thunder storm, can so wet any tree that it will for the time being become an excellent conductor. Up to that time the tree might have been in itself a poor conductor. Thus, through the moisture content of wood. particu- Iarly within the outcTmost layer of growth in a living tree, adds to the variability of induction. even the most rosinOus of trees with lowest moisture content can, under heavy rain, become a splendid conductor in a short time. Because Of this and the fact that the form of the most efficient lightning rod with any kind of q tree is likely to be struck by lightning Such trees as oak, more particularly cork oak. have a very bad reputation for at tracing lightning. European in NcstigatOrS hold that the cottonwood IS the most liable to be struck by lightning. The tree most frequently struck and ignitcd in the west is the western yellow pine.

Editor of the New Britain Herald, Dear Sir
 The reading of front page item in tonight's Herald brought to my mind thoughts which | pass on for consideration. Can the editor of the Herald tell me under what article of the Constitution can be found a law cNCmptinE son of an eX-presi- dent of the United States from pun lshmcnt for the violation of motor laws? Such law would seem 10 me not only unconstitutional but absolutely unfair. Is not the prcsi- dent elected 10 uphold and protect the laws of his country?
