from the rolls of the police force.
This action Of the board in dropping

would seem to demonstrate that it
is an arbitrary body. un-American in
spirit and wholly foreign to every

board of police commissioners had
little comment to make when APP
praised of the statement. He said
he did not recall any request of
Zocco for pcstponement OF the
hearing. but whether he made one
or not was not important, he said,
in view of the city ordinance relative
to appointments. which reads as fol-
lows: Appointments probationary.
The appointment of any supernum-
erary policeman shall be probation
airy for the period of one year from
the date of such appointment, and
the conduct and capability Of the
said appointee during said year shall
be sufficient cause for the confrma-

ment, of which cause the said board

Chief ". G. Hart OF the police de-
partment said today he was positive
that Zocco had not requested the
committee for a postponement of the
hearing. The records Of the depart
ment show that Zocco was appointed
June I, 1928, so that his probation
airy period would not end for almost
another month. He was suspended
for four months for being in pool
room on Stanley street. in uniform,
while a card game for money was
being played. having returned to
duty after that suspension only a
short time before being suspended

HUMBUG IN THE AIR

Endurance tests for airplanes are becoming so numerous ones appe- tite for this type of exploit is be- coming bit passive.
 When the first six-day bicycle race was held years ago public in terest was at a high pitch. Thou sands of people, although they thought the participants were fools, paid money to see the grind, or such portions of it as they could take in during an evenings visit.
 Nowadays nobody remembers the names of any of the muscular cy- clists who won any of these races a generation ago.
 The airplane endurance tests are beginning to wane in the same man. ner. Scarcely is one of them over when another starts; and sometimes, as was the case this week, they dovetail when several are under way at the same time. The aviators to our notion, should invent something comparatively nov el. Just sane, safe, common sense | flying. for instance.

preferred to regard the statistics as embracing everything in the police departments, this being less likely to lead the errors than any other way.
 Police protection must include the maximum Of protection; in an emergency, for instance. Certainly in New Britain, should the emer- gency arise, all the 40 supernumer- aries could be added to the regular police force of 12 officials and 74 patromen, so that there would in reality be a grand total of l26 men forming the city's protection.
 What Mr. McGrail evidently wish es 10 emphasize, and something with which we heartily agree. is that the police force of New Britain. compared with it's population. is be- low the average for other cities. It has been this way for a long time, and though there has been a slight improvement the past year, it still remains below the average,

MARRIAGE A LA CARTE

The great mind of Eugene O'Nelll has studied this marriage situation and has come 10 certain conclusions which may or may not jibe with the conclusions Of others. America s premier playwright, in being dl- vorced by his wife in the complacent divorce courts of Reno. was stated to have made an agreement at their marriage that whenever either began to Hove another" the mar riage could be set aside. This mar riage Of convenience lasted until the inevitable third party came along and then has hit the shoals os Nevada. as many another has done before it.
 Companionate marriage has noth- ing better-or worse-to offer than this sort of pre-nuptial agreement. We are not saying it is wrong, or
New Britain herald., 1929-07-05

that it is right, for the simple req son that it is none of our business what kind of an agreement play wrights and their wives may enter into. But MT. O'Neill, by virtue of his great attainments as play wright, is a species of educator and teacher combined: the minds of mill lions have been influenced by the actions of the characters in his plays, by their philosophy, and by their mirroring of what the play wright regards as life" They can- not help being influenced. also, by the attitude Of the playwright to- ward marriage in his personal deal ings with this institution.
