ONLY THREE MORE YEARS
 FOR SHEPAUG JOB

Talk now and then in New Britain involves the water supply and how it must be improved in the future. Taken by and large, the problem in New Britain is not so difficult as in some other Connecticut cities Waterbury, for instance.
 For several years Waterbury has been at work on what is known as the shepaug water supply project, involving among other things the construction of a tunnel through a mountain and dam. The details sound as important IS a project for a metropolis. The dam alone will cost s6O0,000. We do not know what the entire project will cost, as they deal in such large figures in Water bury that it reminds one of repar- ations discussion. But we read that the city engineer has declared the entire project will be completed within three more years.
 One hears much about financial contariness in Waterbury, but there also is determined action in the face of public need.

INCARCERATED ANIMALS

A little news item from the west the other day told of the death of Bert w. Robinson, manager of the Robinson Shows, as a result of be- ing bitten by lion which had been incarcerated' in one of the shows cages for seven years. It was stated that the lion had gone crazy from the confinement and turned on the manager when opportunity offered.

THE WANING EPIDEMIC

One can well sympathize with dering what ii must be like to live in the United States They get their ideas of this country from the films. of course, and there is no gainsay- ing the fact that a large part of the recent film output has had to do with the underworld. Of the hundred or so of crook plays that are said to have been produced within the last few years, most of them-certainly the best and most gory-have been distributed throughout England and the continent
 An Englishman, seeing one Ameri- can sangland film after the other naturally concludes that life in the United States must be largely com posed Of robberies, gunplay. gin parties, speakeasies, night clubs, de- tectives and police activities, bad women, prohibition agents and such things generally.

It cannot be claimed by prohibit ton fanatics that the citizens of Oklahoma are prejudiced against prohibition agents. Oklahoma is a dry state-in the usually accepted meaning of the theory that any state can be fully dry. Citizens of Okla homa appear to be unit in de- nouncing the murder of two citizens by dry agents. The deed, like so many of the kind, was absolutely unnecessary as the agents proceeded to carry out their supposed raidins duties. Naturally, the we'll worn cry of self defense" has been raised; but Oklahomans, knowing the facts, place no stock in it. Attem.'s are being made to put the prvmpition agents on trial on a charge of mur- der; but that probably will go the way of other cases-the prohibition bureau will insist the men be tried in federal court and they will not be convicted. That's why the dry agents don't care what they do or how they do it.

WE RELY ON MUCH
FROM FOREIGN SHC


 How we depend upon foreign im- portations for large part of our comfort occupied the attention of the editor of the Bridgeport Post. and after due ruminations he pro- vided the following astounding list of activities involving foreign articles that is a part of our we'll ordered life:
 The civilized American begins his day with sponge from the hand S: a South Sea Islander, and a linen towel made in Belfast. He dresses in cotton, wool silk linen and leather from a half dozen countries of the globe
 His breakfast would be spoiled without cup of coffee from Brazil, and rolls made from wheat. a trans plantation from abroad. He motors to his office on tires ~ade from African rubber, anc over asphalt from Trinidad. The interests of his business may reach into half the lands on earth and be affected by all the winds that blow Into his common activities are woven the in terests and activities of millions of people.
 Perhaps there remain few americans who think we are a self contained nation. Let the steamships stop bringing what we must have from foreign shores, however, and the wall that would so up could be heard on Mars.

long jam with law and order.

long jam with law and order.
 The reason for this abundance Of crook plays is easy to determine, There were one or two smashing suc- cesses, and then the enterprising producers in lieu of new ideas fol- lowed up with more of the same. This invariably is the case in a com- petitive field, industrial or supposed ly artistic. By the time all the film producing companies got through providing all their crook plays the crop was quite extensive.
 The crook plays began before the talkies got started. They switched from the silent to the audible films with astonishing ease, and possibly were improved by the ordeal. At least, it was an advantage to hear the lingo of the crooks as well as to note their actions. Britishers, how ever, do not seem to be highly irn- pressed with the lingo utilized. evil dently regarding it as not as pictur- esque language as that used by such cockneys as are still part of the population of London.
 It is believed that the epidemic of crook plays has about run it's course With something like an army corps of moving picture industrialists active in Hollywood it may be that somebody will invent new epidemic almost any minute.
