AUTOMATIC TELEPHONING

One begins to wonder whether the day of the telephone girl is not soon to be over. In many cities, as every one knows, dial telephones have at least reduced the number of tele- phone girls needed at the central ex- changes, and as fast as these ma chimes can be manufactured they are being put into service. The use of the automatic telephone is that GUS toners can dial their numbers and they automatically hook up with the party desired. Central doesn't talk; it merely acts-by machinery.
 Where there are dial telephones and manually operated phones in an exchange there are certain difficulties that now seem likely 10 be circum- vented by more machinery. In New York. a demonstration of this new contrivance indicated it will be pos SlDle 10 Qldl 10 the e&Cnange ana there the number dialed is spoken by a loud speaker, thus facilitating the coupling with manually operated phones. This will only be necessary. of course, so long as manual phones still exist. In the course of time they may be eliminated.
 If in the course of a few years manual telephones are eliminated al together a large field for the en- ployment of women will disappear. The telephone companies no doubt will be able to operate their plants at less cost. The public will have reason 10 expect lower telephone rates. This is on the assumption that economics in operation should be shared by the public, and not de- volve entirely to the benefit of the companies. We think such a supposition is fair.

WE ARE FURNISHED" BUT
 STILL WE PROGRESS

True to the threats made several days ago. the |. s. Senate is doing it's best to punish" Connecticut in dustries as an aftermath of the Bingham Eyanson affair. New Brit ain industries are included, and sev- cral Of them have obtained consider able prominence during the debates. Loyalty to city and state induces one to synpathize with the industries thus affected, and there is small comfort in the thought that had there been more thought exercised in placing MT. Eyanson where he could do this damag ge-in conjunction with the senior senator of the state--the industries might have obtained the tariff increases they desired. However, the world isn't coming to an end and the industries will not only survive but continue to be prosperous. So will the city. The lat est news from the Stanley Works is that q newly formed subsidiary, the Stanley Electric Tool Co.,. is begin ming operation in this city, and that two New York plants have been taken over and their products will be made here in the future. That looks like progress and the company is to be congratulated.
 Then we find news story, proper ly displayed on the first page. of q worker who was with the plant for u years and who at the age of 74 is retired at q pension.

INCREASED ARRESTS

- Arrests during the last month ln- creased considerably in New Brit ain. according to police records. But sthat does not mean there has been a vast increase in crime here. It merely means that the traffic police have been more jealous in their ef- forts to educate the unsuspeCting automobile drivers who accidentally or deliberately pass the army corps of stop signals and signal lights which have been erected in various parts Of the city. As it is the inten- ton to continue erecting more sig nals at important intersections It IS evident that the outlook is for more arrests in the future. IL may yet rome to pass that the autoist who has not been arrested or ''ticketed will be such q rarity in the con- muuity as to deserve getting his pie ture into the paper.

\ WELL-TAKEN POINT

The letter writer in yesterday $ Herald who called attention to the fact that Connecticut company trol- ley men, starters or otherwise, have no police auth ority to give orders to autoists or others at the south end Of Central park or elsewhere, dis cuSsed a point that seems to merit common knowledge.
 When a collision between trolley and an automobile occurs the street car men are of no moro importance than the autoist
 The south corner Of Central park, by the WAY, does happen to be bad place for misunderstanding and collisions. Tho mechanical stop go light does not quite fill the bill at that point.

WHAT WAS THE REASON
 FOR THE PARTY?

The public unwittingly has been let in on some of the details of a Wall street dinner" held in Wash ington at which certain big names in the financial world were registered, and also the names of senators, lu- cluding members of the Senate in- sursent bloc
 The public naturally pauses to re- fleet as to what was the object of the dinner It surely could not have been staged merely to make the partici- pants acquainted with one another or to show the senators that liquor could be consumed in Washington. They probably knew that long be- fore such a dinner was thought of. There must have been another req son for the dinner.
 When Wall street men and rail- road magnates stage a dinner at which senators are invited there must be pretty sound reason be- hind it.
 Whatever the reason it seems 10 have failed to swerve the insurgents who were there from their tendency to insurge. The costs of the dinner apparently were wasted.

Although for a time this year automobile schedules were high, nothing is easier to rectify than a plan 10 construct a certain number of new cars. News from Detroit is to the effect that all plants will oper- ate on reduced schedules, so as to avoid the possibilities of excessive production.
 The soundness of the industry is indicated in the cash balances. the earnings statistics, the recent curtail- ment of contemplated production, small inventories of the manufac- turers, and the solvency of Ameri- can industry generally. The output during the remainder of the year probably will be comparatively small. This, it is stated. is tn. easiest and most logical method to prevent the threatened overproduction. Nor maj demand for automobiles will be met and this will keep the industry sound.

ENGLISH THEATER
 OFFERINGS PLEASE
Eight British Shows Popular
 Along Broadway

New York. Nov. g (UP)-Scatter bit of fog along Broadway and an Englishman would jolly we'll think he was back on the banks of the Thames where they go popping across London to get stall at tha Haymarket theater. The British are having a great year on the Ameri- can stage.
 Whereas the last two years have found such distinctly American plays as "Porg," Broadway Chicago" and "The Front Page" getting most of the business in New York. the British have started this season by placing eight productions here. three of which already are among the hits.
 Musical Play PleaSes
 The most recent success is Noel Coward's Bitter Sweet" a musical play that the critics pronounced even better than This Year of Grace" which was Coward's 1928 contribution to life and laughter on this side of the Atlantic. Coward is the versatile young Englishman who writes plays, lyrics, composes the score for his productions and at times plays in them, as he did in This Year of Grace"
 Another English production that already had enjoyed a long run is Journeys End" written by R. c. Sheriff, d youthful British insurance solicitor, who wrote the war play for an amateur show and subse- quently saw it become an interna- tional success.
 Berkeley Square" featuring the British actor, Leslie Howard, is a recent arrival. It received almost unanimous acclaim from the critics. Berkeley Square" was written by John Balderston, London corres- pondent of the New York World.
 Others Going We'll
 Less sensational British successes are Ropes End" a mystery play; Many Waters study of mid- dle class English family; Candle light" starring Gertrude Lawrence, the English musical comedy player who turns legitimate actress in this productions; Bird in Hand" John Drinkwater's comedy; and The Middle Watch,' a comedy set aboard a British battleship.
 Critics said the unusual feature about Bitter Sweet" was that it was an operetta almost devoid Of comedy. Percy Hammond in the Herald Tribune wrote: "Mr. Cow ards new entertainment is an ur- bane opera without a clown or joke, telling about serious TO-. nance of London and Vienna in charming words and music Most distinguished among Its polite fea- lures is Miss Evelyn Lave, who, if my records are accurate. is the love- Hest prima donna this side of heaven. Fair almost beyond belief She is the most welcome visi- tor from England since Beatrice Lillie came to town"

SAME ELSEWHERE,

Connecticut manufacturers who at this moment are losing no time in Condemnng the Senate for it's oD- stinacy in refusing to see the light can join hands with the manufactur- CTS of Massachusetts, who also are in the doldrums. Bay State manufac turers are as badly picked on as any in Connecticut.
 The way to avoid such things is to elect more genuine Republican sen- ators. Which is like saying that the way to bring about modification in the prohibition law is to elect more wet epresentatives.

AUTOMOBILE INnl STRI REMAINS SDf ND

One of the rumor7 which probably had something 10 do with the re- cent recessions ln the stock market involved around tbo condition of the autom obile industry. II was reported in various journals that the saturt- ton point virtually had been teach- ed and that the plants were schedule ed to manufacture a far larger sup ply of new cars than could be sold in the domestic and foreign markets. Considering how large the automo- tive industry has grown, "ny sncn result naturally will be cause for grave concern.
