Given q choice, we would prefer to meet a rum runner than a pro- hibition agent. The rum runner does not shoot at innocent autoists: he lets them severely alone and minds his own business. The prohibition agent out to find the rum runner. is the fellow who too frequently mis- takes the ordinary autoist for his legal prey. And that Is why we greatly prefer to meet the rum run- ner. He keeps his liquor and we keep our lives.

DRIVING WITHOUT LICENSE
 Is FAR TOO EASY

The amazing discovery in police court that a man living in Hartford, picked up while driving an automo- bile while drunk in New Britain, had not had an operators license since 1923, naturally leads one to wonder as to how many others are in this class. And also leads to the assump. ton that, under present conditions, it is comparatively easy to drive an automobile without g license. All that is necessary is to be exceeding. ly careful not to be involved in an accident and not to overload with liquor.
 What the state officials need to null over is some way to discover licenseless drivers before they be- come identified with an accident or get intoxicated. The present system is full of loopholeA

advocated in thess columns that the city would do we'll by its younge" citisenry to provide animals of . harmless nature in one of the pulp lie parks. with special reference to the presence of ducks that provide great joy to the kiddies as they swim about in . pond. We always have been under the impression that ducks in Stanley Quarter pond would greatly popularize the spot throughout the summer months, passing our deductions upon the ex- perience in Meriden and Hartford. where parks are thus embellished with the fuzzy -wuzzies of the pond swimming tribe.
 It is with satisfaction that one reads, therefore. that something of this kind is projected for a "Japa- nese garden south of the Stanley street entrance to Stanley Quarter park. Going 8 step further-or sev- eral steps-the project includes the manufacture of new artificial pond, which will possess other pretty water animals besides ducks. If this plan is carried through-and there seems no need for hesitation, con- sidering the slight costs, Stanley Quarter is sure to become a magnet for all families with children. And. according to our way of thinking. the parks can be devoted to no bet ter purpose.
 Park Commissioner 4. E. Berg, who brought forward the project, is entitled to much credit, as is Clyde Ellingwood the park superintend- ent, who has worked out the details. cause it wouldn't do any good to the dead.

The manner in which wealthy citizens of Cleveland came to the aid of the Cleveland Clinic in it's re- building plans denoted the high esteem in which it was held. The report of the Cleveland coroner in connection with the disaster which cost 123 lives indicates, however. that on one point there is not much cause for pride. That is that the clinic was warned more than a month previous to the disaster that its X-ray films and the manner in which they were stored was a con- stant danger. It is evident that the management of the clinic paid no at- tention whatever to the warming. No- body will be punished. of course. Even the coroner carefully avoids suggesting such thing. probably be-

Howley Not to Manage
Browns Again in 1880

The Globe-Democrat says that Dan
Howley, manager of the st. Louis
Browns, in third place in tile Ameri-
can league pennant chase, will not be-
back next year. The paper says
squabble between Howley and L. G.
McEvoy. vice president of the club. is
responsible.
According to Howley, the newspaper
says, McEvoy has been giving orders
as to what players should be used,
and Howley claims Phil Ball, presi-
dent of the club, is the only one to
give orders, and that it was so under
stood when he signed three-year con-
tract, which began with the 1927 sea-
son.
Ball is said by the paper to take
the blame and that McEvoy in order
ing player shifts, was merely acting
for him.
