SHOES AND FIRE ESCAPES

Obviously, we are not experts on feminine footwear. That most heels worn by women nowadays are only inch square or slightly larger there fore comes as a surprise. if not a shock. Yet We are not dismayed. If d postage stamp can cover the bot tom of a Womun's heel that is her business. There is no sound reason why owners Of public buildings possessing fire escapes should be forced to change the spacjngs form ing the threads" on the escapes suf- ficiently 10 avoid the possibility of some woman getting stuck while OH the way down. It simply doesn't seem reasonable.
 The discussion precipitatcd by Councilman r. William Huber to have this done in order 10 prevent q catastrophe when a woman gets stuck in this manner during fire has only one value; It has brought out the important fact that wom- ems footwear has small sustaining space under the heel. This may not be as important information as how short skirts happen to be this sea- son. but it is something. It took a thorough going investigation by Building Inspector Arthur x. Ruth erford and a Weighty opinion by State Police Commission Robert T.. Hurley to digcovcr all the facts. Councilman Huber, if he is a sensi- blc man, will be glad to give up his agitation to change the fire escapes when the feminine footwear style changes next year. Indeed, it is doubtful whether the owners of fire escapes or even Councilman Huber could keep up with the style changes. The best thing to do under the circumstances is to instruct ] women, when escaping from burn ing building on fire escape, to tip toe down.

THE SCHOOL CENSUS

The decrease in the enumeration of school children in New Britain can be explained at least partly by the number of empty tenemcntS throughout the city. It must mean that families have moved elsewhere. As virtually every city in Connectl- cut except perhaps Bristol is afflict- ed with a similar proportion oi empty tenemcnts the mystery re- mains great as to where the faml- lies have gone Next year there Will hn q federal census and if the cir cumstances do not change it prob ably will mean that for the next ten wears the official population Of New Britain will not be as high as 1t has been estimated in recent years Realty interests have reported that tbo euhurbs of all cities have been building up at the expense ot the cities due to the facility with when neople are able to leave the con- casted areas. It is possible that the same phenomenon has struck the smaller cities. More people are nv ing in the country" than ever before The necessity O. living close to one employment no longer exists ke- ports have had it that the very small towns and suburban districts near the cities have been growing con- stantly.

AN EDITOR EDITS A BOOK

What an editor writes during an ordinary life time would fill many book, but few of them take the trouble to bother publishers with manuscripts. Usually they leave this almost universal employment to re- porters and the general public who see to it that the mails are never low in poundage. But occasionally an edi tor does take the time to write d book. and one Of them is E. Robert Stevenson, editor-in chief of the Waterbury Republican and Amcri- can.
 The idea must have been born in this manner. Seated one day at his well battered desk he called for some dope regarding a prominent man, who might either have been bumped in an automobile accident or got tangled up with the wrong woman. To his surprise, perhaps, ne discovered that there wasn't line in the morgue-in the office filing cabl- nets-regarding this we'll known man. Indignation waXed strong with in the editorial breast. Straightway he vowed 10 compile biographies Of every man of prominence in the state. It would be shame, he probably reasoned. if the endeavol were only for the benefit of the home office. so the next thought was to compile the biographies into a book. The next thought was to com pile them into several books. We dc not know how many there will be before the job is finished. Anyway the first has arrived, fat volume ot

DISMISSED

Dismissal of George A. McManus, charged with the murder of Arnold Rothstein, comes as no surprise to those who followed the case since it started in New York. Its weakness became so evident, in fact, that Judge Mott threw it out of court. The Rothstein murder goes unsolVed because the police did not push into it effectively at the beginning, hay ing been held back by the wire pull CTS. Public indignation from the frs. was widespread, and dozens of times word went forth that the case was about to be solved. All that happened was a gesture against McManus sup ported by flimsy evidence. The high er-ups in politics remain safe.

PROPAGANDA FROM THE SOUTH

The mails brought the Sunday edi- ton of the Charlotte, N. C., News. and we wondered why. The News is not on our exchange list; but there it was, so pages. An examination Of the newspaper, however. indicated there was method behind the free copy. Charlotte is in the center Of the North Carolina textile industry, and in the textile section" of the paper were special write-ups of the states mills, with pictures of hap py, smiling and well-d dressed cm- ploycs on every page. True Con- ditions Today in the Southern Tex i tile Industry was the title of the | front page blurb in this section; the next article was entitled, What Are tions;" and near the end, in large 1 type, was one headed, Will Union , Demands Destroy Workers in South? True Story of Mill Operatives.' A | subtitle of this latter roarer is en- titled, Mills of New England arc l Greatly Penalzcd" The latter har- rowing story was written by C. How ! ard Bennett, editor of the American Cotton and Wool Reporter.
 Thus we understand what the free copy Of the Charlotte News was all about We are supposed to be- come enlightened about southern mill conditions.
 The second article, referring 10 the mills in New England and writ ten by Mir. Bennett. tells how New England textile mills have lost some Of their importance. No one can | thoroughly appreciate the troubled condition of the textile industry in New England until one reads one of the articles that periodically appear in almost any southern publication. They are putting us entirely hors de combat. according to these articles. We feel so aroused over this that we can hardly get interested. If there is any truth able to percolate into Southern minds let it be this that there are more industries in New England than ever before, that there are more workers, and that what textile industries have moved from New England to the South can stay there and do their worst and thai nobody but the New England capita
 which helps to own a goodly pro- portion Of these southern mills needs to do any worrying about the
 future
 The Charlotte News on its edi. torial page. however, does not agree
 with the optimism in the textil, section. The special textile sector with Its pictures and large type anC the fervid stories in the new. columns are only for those who can find the editorial page. The editorial; and the articles on the ed; 'orial pag
