The reason for the change in man. n.rs is because the movie magnates have suddenly discovered that there are several kinds of customers in the world: exactly what the critics of the movies have been attempting to tell the impresarios for years.

as a gasoline electric line-was built between the Berlin railroad station and Middletown. This line yields service between New Britain and Middletown, but not direct. It is necessary to change cars at the Der lin station and usually be subject to delay.
 Operation of a bus line between New Britain and East Berlin, once agitated with spirit, remains untul- filled. The railroad company. which also owns the trolley company, the trolleys bus lines, and the New Eng land motor coach company. appar- ently has not vet reached the con- clusion that a through motor coach line between New Britain and Mid dletovn IS advisable in view of the existence of the gasoline electric line. This attitude may be reasonable for the railroad company; but what about the public, which certainly is entitled 10 the best type of service, rather than the poorest?

 There was much talk about the danger of the sand bank, and sun dry citizens made suggestions that the spot be fenced off, so that chill dren could not expose themselves to another such tragedy.
 But after the talk died down, nothing was done about it.
 The other day another youngster was killed while playing near the sand bank. and in exactly a similar manner as before.
 Now. will there be more talk about the danger of the thing and no action: or will there be some be- lated action?

ARE WE CONSTANTINE

We have asked the question be- fore, and answered it in the nega- tive. But just one more bit Of proof out of our files ought to satisfy Judge Peasley. chairman of the Judiciary committee.
