awakened to find their ear in a creek

Overdose of Medicine
A mild sensation was created IN
the courtroom when a prisoner, di-
rect from the county Jail was
brought In In what appeared to be a
state OF intoxication. Speculation
was rife as. to where he had obtained
his liquor. An investigation ordered
by the court brought out that the
prisoner had taken an overdose of
medicine.

session shortly after 10 a. m. Monday.

GOOD NEWS FOR SKATERS

Of course, there is going to be some skating this winter. There was a time not long ago when complaint was quite general that youthful ice skaters in New Britain were being forced 10 20 too far afleld to find safe surfaces upon which to do their figure eights. This difficulty has been met within recent years, and the situation is being improved constant ly. This year is no exception to the mark Of progress. A little paragraph in the paper stated that the park board would flood a baseball dia- mond at Willow Brook park for skating, and also another at Wash ington park.
 The flooding Of land for skating purposes is not new, of course; but much to commend it. Its best feature is that there is no danger of the ice breaking and precipitating skaters into water up to their necks. Skat- ing on ponds, lakes and rivers has it's charms. but there are days when the ice is not so thick and when skaters are swayed more by folly than sense. On such occasions they some times they get their names in their papers, along with obituary notices running beneath their pictures.
 The park board does well 10 stimulate safe skating by again flooding park property and letting the freeze do the rest. The skating is just as good, usually is closer to home, and everybody-including parents-Will enjoy themselves just as much if not more.

POLITICAL ALLIANCES

The projected alliance between Republicans of the West and Demo- crats Of the South is hoary with age. The plan is to "unite' the political aspirations Of these sections into what would amount to a third party, or to unite upon a presidential can- didate. The latter is the easier method of the two, as it would ob- viate the disadvanta ges Of attempt ing to form a new party, which in this country is fraught with exceed ing difficulties. But, politically speak ing. the voters in both sections are rather hidebound and during cam paign are apt to forget the good in tentions that prevailed previously.
 The most effective manner in which the West and the South com pines, of course. is in the Senate. Were 1t not for the coalition votes the Republicans would have clear sailing. This coalition has existed for many years and the net result has been to make the Republican party impotent to get it's way
 Republicans in the West. who run on the Republican ticket for the sake of convenience, and remain in- dependent in thought and in political action when elected, are borers from within. The only manner in which the Republican party could obviate this difficulty would be to run duly rubber-stampe and completely ac- credited candidates in the western primaries. This method has been dis cussed and the most recent threat Is that it may be done in Nebraska The only result of the threat, how ever, has been for Senator Norris of that state to reconsider his previous ly announced determination to retire after his present term. If the Repub- lican party sets up a rubber stamped candidate In Nebraska, Senator Nor ris will take a delight in running against him-and probably beating him, as usual. Thus one discovers, upon analysis, that the scheme to purify" western Republican politics Is beset with amazingly difficult problems. One is brought to the con- clusion that the situation will not change in this generation, with the western Insurgent- Progressive Re- publicans continually working in closer harmony with the southern Democrats.

THE DINOSAUR TRACKS

Arizona has given birth to the scientific spirit. The state could scarcely prevent itself from feeling a deep interest in scientific achieve mcnts considering that within It's large confines there is the famous Flagstaff observatory. From this fount Of astronomical research the beauties Of pure science have trickled down to the popuace, even the gov ernor. Such was to be expected.
 Thre is no precedent in scientific circies however. for the furore caus- ed in Arizona over the prospects of a scientific expedition carrying away the tracks Of dinosaur found near Tuba City. Heretofore scientists have been allowed to carry away what ever they found, from a prehistoric skull to Indian utensils. They placed the things on exhibition in faraway centers, and the people In the states where they were found never uttered a word.
 The worm has turned. Down In Arizona the governor went so far az to order sheriffs to guard the tracks
