CLOUDS.
By Alice Booth Day

BY Alice Booth Day
The day was dark and the day was
drear;
The clouds were black and low;
| sighed and | cried for the sun to
appear
And make the shadows go.
Another hour and the sky was clear
The clouds had drifted by
And | saw twas because it had been
so near
That it covered the whole of my
sky.

POOLING URORS

Three women members of the jury which convicted Alexander Pantages of a statutory charge in Los Angeles now make affidavits that they were coerced into agreeing to a verdict of guilty by being de- ceived as to the meaning of the words with clemency.' They thought the words made it man. datory for the judge to pronounce q light sentence.
 The incident iIlustrates once again that the qualifications for being q juror are one-sided in many of the states, if not all of them The main object seems to be to obtain jurors who. never heard of the case at bar; and in the matter Of a sensational charge this is next 10 impossible. Some lawyers still labor under the impression that nobody who eyer read of case can have an impar- tial mind concerning if,
 What is more important is 10 ob- tain jurors who understand the fundamental principles Of law, who cannot be deceived or cocrced by anyone, not even fellow jurors who may happen to know a little more about the subject.
 The women jurors also swear they were afraid of what q certain clergyman would say about them over the radio if they did not join in a guilty verdict. This clergyman might be charged with trying to in terfere with justice if he had the gall 10 attempt such a thing.

THEATER NU SICIANS

Writing something about theater musicians IS like writing something about the screen that doesn't talk, Both have about disappeared in the local field and in many another like it. Since the screen began to talk and indulge in mechanical music the field for theater musicians has al most disappeared entirely. It may be different in many of the large cities; but we are speaking pri- marily of New Britain.
 The story of how William S. Jefts and Harry Walker, two organ ists who formerly were widely known to local audiences, quit the music business entirely to pool their capi- tai and go into a more prosaic un- dertalling. might be multiplied thou sands of times throughout the coun- try as whole.
 The case of Mr. Jeffs is particu- larly noteworthy. He was graduated from prominent conservatory in London, England, and was what was known as a star organist. That is to say, the spot light shone upon him and he was featured in the ads. He likewise was paid large salary.
 Here is man who went through manyrears of training to become adept in an eXacting profession. reached a comfortable niche in it. and then found the foundations swing from under it as if swayed by an earthquake. Thus he goes into a business having nothing in common with music, one that certainly does not require at least six years Of preparation in great school of learning and ten years Of practice on a keyboard besides. He could have gone into the laundry business in the first place, had he known that somebody was to invent ma chine doing away with the need for manpower in the orchestra pits.
 It is a changing world a mechan- ical age, Somehow we don't think it is altogether for the best in all respects. When Mr. Jeffs played the organ it vas easy to listen to- Some of the music from the talkies haven't yet impressed us in that fashion.

may be wrong with the patient.
 This is not saying, of course, that Congratulatory messages or any oth- CT kind of sympathetic epistles are to be denounced. Rather. we are in- clined to think they are in place. A man, not even a senator, rarely receives such messages until they are needed. MT. Bingham surely needs all he can secure.
 But there are horde of ConneCti- cut citizens who are not sending such messages. They far outnumber those of his friends who go to the expense and trouble of dispatching letters and telegrams. The average person never goes to the. trouble of writing letters until strongly moved. Manifcstly the friends and admirers Of Senator Bingham are greatly moved 10 show the senator that they util believe in him. The others, far in the majority, are not moved eith- CT way. They are only thinking

COMMUNICATED
Protest Against Trolleys at South End of Green

The efforts of the police to in- crease the safety margin of motor ists on the city streets deserve commfndation. A little more care in this direction on the part Of of ficials of the Connecticut Company in the manner of operating their trolley cars at the south end of Central park would add much needed safety factor.
 Only misplaced pnblic tolerance toward the street railway company, or Indifference toward the danger ous conditions which prevail at the triangle" allows motor cars to be damaged by trolleys there without a protest.
 Daily there are narrow escapes from accidents. often lenders are scraped and occasionally an auto $ rather badly damaged. Most of the accidents coul4 be avoided If the motormen were required to operate their cars with the care demanded from motorists
 Oneman trolleys provide no means of signalling from the rear when the car is about to round the end of the park. The out-of-town driver, who may be close behind the trolley. may expect it to proceed down Main street. When the street car suddenly swerves around the corn>r, swinging it's rear-end well out toward the west curb. the un- lucky motorist may be jammed
 Such an accident happened last evening. A double line of motors and a trolley came to a stop for the amber light. Then the signal flash cd red. An expensive roadster led the line on the right side of the trolley.
 When the light turned green the trolley started around the curve but the auto was delayed a moment by passing pede strians Before the driver had q chance to get away, the trolley hit his car Front tire

BI' SINESS AND STOCKS

\ few weeks ago there were state. mcnt3 made by qualified observers Of financial trends that the amount ! Of money being devoted to stock speculation was hurting business. The reasoning was something like | this That money flowing to Wall Street in huge quantities was being taken from productive enterprises, was increasing the interest rates, and was making it more difficult to finance undertakings. At the money rates then prevailing, it was said, it was nearly impossible 10 finance some undertakings at all
 Then the break came and easier money rates almost at once pre- vailed Instead Of vast sums going into Wall Street speculation the trend now seems to be in the other direction. Where is the money go- ing Is it to remain idlen
 Scarcely
 Yet gentlemen here and there arise 10 remark that tha descent Of security values might harm business II they are correct. then it appears that business is nurod when stocks go ID too high and when they 20 down too rapidly. That might be true-te9nporarily - bu, if takes something of an imagination 10 con- cIude that any such result ran be anything but temporary.
 What Is necessary is 10 give inc situation q little time to adjust itself. Tn" result of easier money and lom- CT and more reasonable interest rates does not make itself felt over night. The Fundamental industrica will gain from easier money just like the subsidiary industries will gain. So long az Fundamental trade conditions remain 2ound-s something that no one seems 10 business conditions are likely to improve in the near future. They are good now. The Christmas trade this year is ex- pected 10 break all records. People are not consuming lcss merely be- cause somebody's stocks are worth less.
 We have had 1t dInned into our ears for long time that the lately

and fender went to smash. Forum ately there were no personal injur- les.
 On such occasions it Is the prac- tice for an employe of the Connecti- cut Company, stationed at the park, to rush over and order the motorist to move away f4om the spot. The sight of his brass buttons usually has the desired effect and by the time the driver has parked out of traffic he has lost all chances of securing the names of eye witnesses.
 That was the procedura tried last night. The starter, came akiting into the crowd that had collected, calling out for folks to get out of his way. In spite of the fact that the fender of the auto was squashed down son the tire, making it impos- sible to operate the ar,9the trolley official brusquely ordered the auto ist. to drive around the corner Of Court street
 A spectator, who was not aWed by the trolleyman's uniform as a badge of any authority on public streets, protested and additional damage to the car was avoided by not moving it until the fender had been bent back into normal position. But this interference was not relish ed by the street railway man who appears to glory in assumed police power.

BANDITUI
By Philip A. Dallin

| Despite slcepineGs resulting from a dance, we hicd ourself the very i same morning to a luncheon given i by the Movement to Conquer | Crime. Our invitation read: Prom incnt members Of the upper world will meet prominent members of the under world" We arrived at the hotel at l o'clock sharp-to be promptly disappointed by finding mostly prominent judges (upper world, of course). There was, how ever, some relief in the shape of four live, honest-to- goodness, con- genial bandits-square jaws, scars on their cheeks, and everything. just as you see in the movies. The four sat together at one end of the table and made our hair stand every time they picked up their knives.
 Well" suddenly remarked the young lady on our right, 'T was distinctly told there would be bandits at this lunch" 'Why, there they are" saids we, pointing to the very evident group.
 Oh" exclaimed our fair com Danion, q thought that was the press"
 Enlightened on this matter, how ever, she only fell into still more hopeless confusion short while after. The luncheon over, upper and under world were pleasantly chatting. A prominent real estate man who had negotiated sales of both the Vanderbilt and Astor homes was standing with a friend right in the midst of the erstwhile bandits.
 "I hear remarked his friend, jocularly 'that you wrecked the Vanderbilt house."
 Just then our charming lunch con partner approached with one of her friends.
 Yes" replied the real estate man, and what's more. I'm go- ing to wreck the Astor house."
 The young ladys eyes grew round. Amelia" she gasped, con- vulsively, clutching her friend. did you hear that man! I don't fall him reformed"

CONCENTRATING MIR. BINGHAM

The fact that Senator Bingham has received numerous congratulat- tory telcgrams and letters from friends In Connecticut and elsewhere means nothing at all. It is comm on to communicate with friends in trouble, rendering them a few kind words and frequently sending them flowers. The object is 10 cbeer them up and it invariably succeeds. The fact remains, however. that Senator Bingham was censured by his col leagues and that no amount Of con- gratulatory messages can erase it.
 It is like a man lying upon his back in a hospital. Flowers from friends are gratefully received and make the room look pretty. But they do not take the place of med ical skill nor do they n6cessariIy ease the pain incident to whatever

THE POST ROAD AND MERIDFS \

The city of Meriden. wn imagine, will not be greatly pleased with the plan of the state highway commis- sion 10 have the Boston Post road pass around that city instead Of passing through if. The merchants of Meriden, in all probability wfl bc the chief opponents of the plan.
 Some traffic along the road, even some Of the through traffic, finds a city handy occasionally, Tf only one automobile party out Of every 100 stops in the city to purchase some thing-ranging all the way from ice cream sodas or meals 10 wharu you have--the sum total Of trade that comes to Meriden merchants in 2 year from this source must be con- siderable.
 But what of the other go automo- bile parties? And what of the con- gestion caused in the streets of Meriden by through traffic from the Boston Post road?
 Manifestiy the bulk Of the through traffic is hindered by being forced 10 wend it's way through Meriden. Ii also suffers delay from traffic jams  Danger to Meridenites from the in- creased traffic, especially over week. ends during the summer, is not 10 be overlooked.
 Meriden probably would gain just IS much autom obile tourist trade if

CITY MANAGER AGITATION

The City Property Owners Assocl- ation at length has reached a point in it's deliberations whore, according to President Dobrowoski, the ad- visibility of agitating for d city manager form Of government in New Britain will be considered.
 This IS getting somewhere To consider such proposal at least can do no harm The way to go about it is to learn as much as possible re- garding the effect Of city manager government in such cities which have tried it. These are surprisingly numerous
 There IS a widely held belief that the city manager form of govern ment is more efficient and economi- cal than any other. The association is primarily interested in efficiency and economy. one understands; it ought to be interested Gs well in the best way of obtaining these results.
 If the association begins a serious investigation of the city manager plan and makes it's finds public it probably will make a much stronger impression upon the public general ly than has been done in any action hitherto taken. The people, aside from the politicians are inclined to face this subject with an open mind. If the association can show how 7, city manager'in the city would i'm prove conditions it will receive a wide audience.

the road were slightly to one side as it does now. Those who are hungry or thirsty while on the highway could find their way to Meriden without difficulty, and the detour would be slight.
 The only trade that would be lost 10 Meriden Is that which comes to it from motorists who happen to see the stores while passing through the city and through them are remind ed of something that they wanted to buy. Such autoists are at least very rare. We mention it because we once knew an autoist who had forgotten to buy two bathing suits in New Britain and was reminded of his forgctfulness while passing through Meridcn and seeing the store fronts.
 The state highway commissioner seems to think that state roads do not primarily exist to bring business to merchants along them. New Brit ain can be neutral in the matter, not being on the Boston Post road. We have noticed, however, that many a traveller along this highway has found his way 10 New Britain when he felt he needed to come here for any of a hundred reasons. We can assure Meriden from experience that if it gets off the Boston Post road it still will get at least some of the trade from the ighly-regarded autoists.
