LET THE PARK BOARD CHOOSE \ POOL. SITE

Something radical will need 10 be done about providing swimming pool in the fifth ward now that the park board has unanimously decided that Swansons pond is too inacces- sible, too expensive a project to rc- build into a seryiceable pool and if left as it is would be a source Of dis ease.
 There is general agreement that q ward with so many youngsters n 1t is entitled to swimming pool The trouble lies in finding the site.
 Let the park board. at its earliest opportunity make a few constructive suggestions on this subject, f Swan sons pond is as bad as it is cracked up to be perhaps the board could provide q better plan,
 There should he no unnecessary de- lay. Some swimming pool somewhere in or near the ward should he con- structed next spring, and all the plans should be ready before that time.

It is reported in Washington that sensational disclosures are expected when the Senate goes to the bot iom' in the charges that certain big sI'jpbojlding corporations have hnaneed propaganda against reduc- ton Of naval armamcnts.

When an autoist nearly runs down a person getting off trolley car 1t IS somebody's duty to take his number and report it to the authorities, The motorman, we imagine, is the right party to do it. And when motor man does so action should be taken 10 encourage that species of public service. The reason more motormen do not make such reports is because experience has taught them little at tention is paid to the complaints.

\ TIP TO CONNECUCUT-
 AND FROM MIR. FORD

The problem presented by worn- out automobiles is one that faces every community, large and small. The views of Henry Ford on this problem are at least interesting, and when George |. Harvey, president of Queens borough of New York, re- gently wrote to the motor magnate he received reply that admitted the gravity of the situation and the further information that repre- sentative of the Ford company would be sent to Queens to help solve it.
 This action, of course, is only a beginning. What E. G. Iicbold. secretary to Mir. Ford, further stated in his communication has an cspe- cial interest for Connecticut and such other states which are faced with finding employment for prison in mates when the federal law pre- venting interstate shipment of pri- son products goes into effect.
 Said Mr. Ltcbold:
 "The City of Detroit, through its police department, has been collect i Ing all Of the abandoned or wrecked . automobiles on city highways and l delivering them to the Detroit House i of Correction, where they are de- mOllsh"d or the material segregated into the various kinds Of scraps and sold. This keeps the prisoners oCCu- pied and results in some revenue for 1 the intuition
 Whether there are enough prison inmates in Connecticut to handle all the worn-out cars is beyond our 1 knowledge. The idea. however should come to the attention of the state authorities who arc claiming state prisoners will have nothing tc l do when the federal anti-prisor goods transportation law goes into ] effect. Dismantling old automobiles would give them plenty of work, in. crease their knowledge of automo. tive mechanics, and perhaps yield ; | profit to the state,
