REMEMBER THE AGED, WHO
 LAID THE FOUNDATIONS

To Andrew J. Turnbull, 97, old est Mason in the city, inventor and unfalterins Republican from the days Of the mighty Lincoln, our congratulations upon the annual an- niversary of his natal day. Still in good health, active, keen -witted and reflective at the changing scene, Mir. Turnbull is expected to pass the century mark by all his friends. We join in the hope and feel confident that the expectation is well justified.
 To another. younger yet active we also extend congratulations. sh' is Mrs. Anna M Strobel, S3. He' husband. deceased since 1918, was known to many who valued good conrad eship and . well.cond ucted dispensary in which to obtain 1t.
 The city is not in too great a hurry to be friendly with its aged, citizens who lived and wrought here at a time when the founda- tions of it's present status was laid. May they long remain to see 1t continue to change for the better and grow in those things that are worthy and above price.

 Also. it was . manifestation of that spirit which. rightly or wrongly. believes that when . wrong is done even to dogs-it should be righted It was the duty of City Hall to right the wrong done the dumb beasts: but in the absence of such action marauders apparently deemed it necessary to adopt this deplorable direct action.
 DoS-catching is an unpopular municipal function in the first place. No amount of claims that it is neces- sary will ever make the business looked upon with favor. The least the city can do. in view of the neces- sities. is to treat impounded dogs with civilized consideration.

WE ALL MAKE MISTAKEs,
 EVEN CITY OFFICIALS

Hectic verbal broadsides the past week held widespread public inter- ct and now that the shooting A over something of an appraisal can bs attempted as to the relative mer- tts and results of the encounter.
 Not that we would be an umpire in such royal battle as that staged between Mayor Paonessa and School Committee Chairman Patrick F. King. We would be more inclined to say that both put up a hard fight. To give a decision is unim- pertant. Both provided the public with some food for thought. and anything doing this has its value.
 Both pointed out some errors-or what were considered as such-in the official records The mayor, for instance, continues to insist that the school board made mistakes, and the school board chairman re- taliates by pointing out few cred ited to the mayor.
 It is hard for us to work up ex- citement over mistakes. being hu- man ourselves.
 No man or body of men in pub lie office fails 10 make a few mis- takes of small or large dimensions usually discovered we'll after the events. Of course. it is easy-far too easy-to claim that ones opponent in an argument should not have in- dulged in mistakes: but after all, it is like being in the fabled glass house and throwing bricks at some body in another glass house.
 We therefore suggest that the parties at issue in this recent verbal imbroglio bury their weapons. sign a peace treaty and agree 10 re duce armaments. Peace talk ls in the air all over the world. IL may he just as well to have little of it between the school board and the mayor right in this grand little ely.
 Let the past bury its contention,

SCHOOL SIDEWALKS. TOO, ARE ESSENTIAL

It was hard for citizens who get kick out of watching the idiosyn- crasies of municipal government to suppress a guffaw on reading that the Common Council had taken mo- tice of the fact that there were no sidewalks in front of the Ben jamin Franklin school, and that the school board was given until Sep temper l to put one down.
 Recent activity by the city in ordering sidewalks constructed along private property received the unstinted approval of the public generally. One of the differences between a village and a city is that the latter has good. servioeable side walks; and this happens to be a city.
 To order property owners to put down sidewalks and neglect to have them in front of city property is falling to practice what is preached. It is a species Of hypocrisy.

sound legal Asctrins snuaciated by Judge Ysemana Perhaps hs was encouraged to take this attitude fol- lowing the testimony forced to the front at tho Superior court trial. some of which corroborated the claims of the Standard Oil rather than that of the city.
 The battle against gasoline sta ton in Franklin square from the start appealed to us as eminently idealistic and worth support. The square possesses clements of beauty and we have been under the impress sion this beauty should be preserved if possible. But in view of the testi- mony brought out in Superior Court it appears that the city depended more upon its iron fist than upon fundamental legal principles.
 What the corporation counsel should have done in the first place, when the ordinance relative to Franklin square was drafted, was to warn against its probable uncon- stitutionality. The fact that no such warning was forthcoming has been a factor in creating deplorable legal ruction which 50 far has resulted in the city being shown up in a rather drab light.
 The Supreme court sometimes orerrides the opinions of lower court judges; but Judge Yeomans has an excellent reputation for giving deci- sions of impeccable clarity. If the delay until January is the best pos sibility to look forward to, maybe that will be some kind of victory.

Qasstionable oonduct Again

| Questionable Conduct A8e1n In Common Council Chamber
 Several months ago, the Observer had occasion to admonish members of the common council for attend ance at meetings when not in proper condition to give their best judg- ment to municipal problems. and for conduct unbehtting those in whose hands the reins of govern ment have been placed.
 There was something of 8 repeti- ton of these conditions at Wednes- day nights meeting, although the heat and the length of the meeting might have been given as the caus" of the unbecoming conduct. rather than the excess indulgence to which the previous happening was at- tributed.
 Members of the common council should be gentlemen at all times. They should remember that their rights end where another mans be- gins. and that a colleague not only should not be discouraged in taking . stand on any question that may arise, but that. on the other hand. he should be encouraged.
 The question of a city officials outing was before the house for con- sideration. One member. a consist ent opponent of the outing idea. arose and moved that the propose be defeated by tabling. Immediately. another arose and in ill-chosen ex- pressions sought to browbeat and ridicule his associate who was per- fectly within his rights in expressing his sentiments. The real question at issue was ignored and the assault was a purely personal one. An overwhelming vote to table the proposition was the form taken by the protest which could be plainly seen on the faces of council mern- ters. many of whom had intended to vote to hold an outing. but in whom the urge to protest an un- gentlemanly attack was too strong to be ignored.
 On another occasion during the meeting, member, resenting a comment on the value of a suggea- ton he was making. launched into a personal attack on the commentator. publicly declaring that his op- ponent's committees have always been unsuccessful. It so happened that the subject of the attack was chairman of the ordinance commit tee when zoning was adopted, when the building code was adopted. when carnivals were restricted from the city. and when Sunday afternoon movies were barred. The assailant was chairman of a committee on dumps.
 Constituents should make it known to offending councilmen that their conduct is not endorsed by those whom they pretend to repre- sent. Council members would do we'll to weigh their. words. The public is not interested in their likes and dislikes, but only in the trana- action of civic business in business like manner.

STARRING FOR DELAY IN GAS STATION WAR

To appeal case to the state Supreme court is anybody's prlvi- lege. All it requires is money and legal talent. Although the city doesn't claim to possess more money than it knows what to do with, it possesses the corporation counsel, and he is eager for a clima cteric contest with the Standard Oil to the states highest tribunal. If the city wins there in it's battle against the erst hile oil octopus it will be con- the corporation counsel; and if that happens we won't hesitate to join in with the congratulations
 The state Supreme court can not take action before October. it is stated. and probably due to the pressure of other momentous cases cannot come to final determination
 
 of this cause celebre until next January. One inevitably comes to the conclusion that at least one of the objects Of the appeal from Judge 1eoman's decision is to obtain this reprieNe from the time when the oil octopus can get 10 work on the Franklin Square plot.
 Mayor Paonessa. somewhat practi- cal minded, apparently was dubious about the advisa bility Of going into this elongated legal effort The mayor seemed 10 lack confidence that the higher tribunal would be found upsettlnR the apparently

Diet Results in Fatigue, Eminent Psycholoefst Says

A]ssslAsCuAU I6yVI1OSOR10t o4yS
 Office and business girls who are dieting are encouraging fatigue. ac. cording to Dr. Thaddeus L. Bolton head of the department of psychol. ogy. Temple university, Philadel. phia. New Britain girls will be in. terested in an experiment which he is now conducting.
 Four groups of five girls each are being studied with a view to determining to what extent the ia. tigue incident to normal office ac. tivities affects their speed and ac- curacy at various hours of the busi ness day, and to what degree both fatigue and any consequent impair. ment of efficiency can be mini. mixed by the timely eating of en. cry foods. The girls are all eithe, skilled stenographers or clerks and are between the ages of 19 and 26. Back of the present investigation Dr. Bolton said. lies the growing be. lief on the part of employers that extreme reducing diets resorted tc by large numbers of feminine workers are responsible not onl, for frequent absences due to III. ness. but for lessened and poorer quality work while in the office Such diets, he believes. fail to pro- vide the energy and stamina needed to meet the continued strain and daily exactions of modern business
 Working power is affected by the general food supply in the body" Dr. Bolton said. "A consid- erable fall in the food content of the body shows itself in muscular unsteadiness, imperfect reaction to stimuli. and tends both to bring on and augment fatigue. The result is an inevitable reduction in the rate and quality of work. The effective ness of various foods in bringing working power up to normal again. depends upon their chemical consti- tuents and speed of absorption"
 Due to the fact that sugar is a highly concentrated carbohydrate. or energy food, and is almost im- mediately absorbed. three groups of the girls selected for the investi- sation are being served a mid-after- noon lunch having high sugar content. The lunch is served to each of the groups on different days. and the schedule is arranged 50 that the work of those who are provid- ed with th.. lunch on given ->y can be compared with the @ork of
