WALKS OUT OF JAIL
 NOT FREE MAN
Philip Burnham, Insurance Agent, Sentenced To Six Months By Putnam City Court, Arrested Again.

Trouble. due to his own voluntary acts, continued to follow Philip I. Burnham. insurance agent of this section. who is a resident near At tawaugan, after he had served six months term in the Windham county iai' fer driving an automobile while intoxicated. When the iron doors of she jail changed behind him and he checked oat" of the county work house an officer with warrant was waiting tc take the man into custody
 Burnham was arrested little over six months ago in Putnam on a charge of driving an automobile while under the influence of liquor. He was arraigned in the Putnam city court and a continuance was granted him. Whether to drown his troubles or to dull his worries BuTnham, while the case was still pending in Putnam, got drunk in Kilingly and was arrest ed there on the same charge on which he was booked in Putnam.
 Second Offender
 Putnam authorities learned of his subsequent arrest and were therefore not disposed to consider any lenien- cy. Burnham was ordered into court and was given a sentence Of SIX months in jail as second offender after a plea of guilty.
 Following his arrest, as he left the iaiI last Thursday, Burnham was talk en to the office of Prosecuting Att torney Arthur G. Bill of the Kilingly town court Friday mrning he ap- peared before Judge Fenner Wood ward. Again he was found guilty of driving while intoxicated. The court appeared to take into consideration the long sentence just concluded by the defendant and, after imposing a six months jail sentence, suspended the sentence during good behavior. It will doubtless be long time before Burnham will have his license to drive a car restored by the state mo tor vehicle department.

THE CHALK LINE
T. pays to advertise.

T. pays to advertise.
 New Britain for a long time has had q chalk line, or a painted line, or some other kind of a line, at the po- lice station which automobile drivers alleged 10 have imbibed in liquor are l required 10 walk. If they can walk the chalk line" they are deemed sober enough to drive car If they can't they are charged with driving while intoxicated" The evidence of the chalk line report weighs heavily with the judge.
 The city, not being an adept at ad- vertising it's original notions, got no publicity at all in connection with the inauguration of this scheme. It shows that New Britain, as pub lcity center has much to learn.
 Along comes Lynn Mass, and adopts d chalk line in it's police sta tion, Possessing a mayor who knows how to obtain widespread attention every time hc crosses the street. and I police department which actually can give the impression it has in- vented a new idea when it steals an idea from some other town. the Lynn chalk line received great publicity. News about it went over the wires 10 th" maws Of countless newspapers.
 And here is the New York World with a fat editorial in which Lynn's innovation" is apny analysed. T. seems that down in New York. at least where the World is printed. ] they never heard of such a chalk line before. The Park Row inicIH- gcntsia once again proved itself not so intelligent, or at least proved it. self unaware of what has been eoing on in the world of hoc<woods polio, stations.
 For it is considerable Of a fac that Now Britain didn't invent tn, chalk line any more than Lynn did And here the New York World jus . hears about il, Note how the World editorial winds un: "Tho Lynn sys tenn. peraars, might bc tried in otho
 places too,'
 Indeed and frraooth. Maybe if ha
 -before the publicity managers il
 Lynn ever learned the first rudi
 ments of operating a chalk line.

HEDt CiNG THE COSTS OF AIR MAIL

Of ways to be economical there seems to be no end. For half a doz- on years there has been economy talk dated from Washington, and the end has not been reached,
 The air mail conference called by Postmaster General Brown is mo tivat"d by the fact that the govern ment thinks the time is past to sub sidize the air mail lines by way of en- couragem"nt Air mail contractors called 10 the conference, which be- gins at the end Of this month, will be asked to sharpen their pencils and do closer figuring.
 The governments income from air mair depends upon the total of poundage carried. This has been steadily increasing. But it does not necessarily mean that the govern
 ment's income from the air mail sur passes the sums paid air mail con-
 tractors 10 carry the mail. Details are not given out, but it is evident
 that some of the contracting com
 panies have been receiving more
 from the government than the gov crnment has been receiving from the ] public for air mail service.
 There is also a vast difference in ] the pay to different air mail com- ] panies for approximately a similar
 service. The time has come to bring
 order into the air mail finances. As
 many of the air mail companies also l carry express and passengers, it would seem that they should be in 1 a better position to accept loss for carrying air mail.
 l When most of the air mail lines
 were started the plan followed i frankly was an effort 10 stimulate 1 the companies 10 go into the busi- ness That has been achieved, and i the American air mail routes are the most extensive in the world. The ] postmaster general, himself stimu- lated by economic designs by Prcsi-
 dent HHIoover, now wishes to know
 if the contractors can do with less i money so that the post office depart
 ment may not continue to go into the
 red so heavily. It is a fair question

MIGNaRSkI MIGHT ASK THE MAYOR FOR POINTS

It appears that the fifth ward swimming pool project is getting more complicated. Judge William r, Mangan, chairman of tho park board, says Swanson's pond is not fit for bathing and too far away; and that at any rate lt would be too expensive to turn it into a regular pool.
 , Councilman Joseph Mlynarskj says that to his personal knowledge hundreds of children and adults have used the pond for bathing and there has been no resulting apidom- ic; and that until recently tco from the pond was cut and sold with the sanction of the Board Of Health. These conyergng statements form an issue that must he threshcd out before permanent action is taken one way or the other
 Councilman MiyrarsM might con- fer with the mayor and ask him about the history of the swimming pool in Willow Brook park. how the mayor had to insist upon this aud that after being told lit couldn't be done" and how everything finally was done how the mayor wanted it done.
 And the councilman might ask the mayor for the history of the i'm provements around the pond il Stanley Quarter park, another iton that the mayor got finished as ht thought it ought 10 bo done auc after having been told his plan wa. no good
 After such an interview the roun cilman may take heart.

 Michael Hippo, 1G, of 227 North street, was with him when the cigar cites were taken. and in police court today Hippo pleaded guilty to ltnc charge of theft In order to allow the local court to take jurisdiction, the value of the cigarettes was changed 10 $49, and Judge NJ. l.. SaXe imposed fine of So5 and costs. suspending execution of the penalty and placing Zippo Oil pro- baton.
 Sergeant P. J. O'Mara testified that the boy who has been sent away went into the storerCom whilr Zippo waited, and they threw the cigarettes into a vacant cellar near by, returning at night and recover
 ing them. They carried them off ir burlap bag and later divided them. Zippos share was 2S cartons of which Sergeant O'Mara recovered 10.
 Hippo had nothing 10 say and Judge Sake told him he could be sent to the rcformatory for such an offense, and if he failed 10 benefit by the chance he was being given, i he would be severely punished. l Sergeant O'Mara seems to think | there is some good in you and for that reason l am willing to give you | this chance, although I don't know | but l ought to send you away" the 1 court told him. Hippo promised to 1 try and make himself useful in the i future.
