NEWINGTON'S SURPRISE

When the caucuses were held in Newington recently Walter l.. Nor gan, registrar of voters for eight years, was what might be termed unpopular among the towns politi- clans. This being the case, he ran in the town election as an independ cnt, letting fellow citizens become aware that he did not intend to take lick ing upon the behest Of the managers of politics there. Voters apparently thought exceedingly well of his inde- pendence and had confidence in him. All they did was to elect him over Mir. Finnegan, the Democrat whom he opposed by a handsome margin. It was the first time an independent had ever landed on top of political heap in Newington and the prece- dent is a good one for the future.

\ GOOD BALL GAME

One is justified in expecting much of a world series baseball game and the opening contest in Chicago yesterday gave a nation complete satiSfaction-eXcept perhaps the rabid fans in Chicago and others elsewhere who favored Joe Me Carthy's nine.
 The early innings, a pitchers bat tie with an accompaniment of ciphers for the scorers, developed into high strung excitement follow ing the home run of Foxx, while the last-inning rally of Chicago provided enough excitement to last any normal fan for A hours.
 The Herald takes satisfaction that the Playograph operated in front of the newspaper office was a popular rendezvous for large crowd which enjoyed the vivid portrayal of the master players of the national game. More exciting sport of the same brand is promised before the series is over.

BETTING ON TIE SERIES

It Is significant that considerable of the pre-series discussion has centered around the betting odds. Betting is termed Speculation by the more gentcel folk who indulge in it. It is no different in principle than betting on the stock exchange.
 A man with an opinion as 10 who will win the present world series in- variably is given an opportunity to back up his opinion with money, This seems to come as natural as having an opinion in the first place.
 There are people who consider betting an unalloyed evil and who say it should be prohibited by law, What effect law against gentle manly betting would have, however is not stated. So far it is fortunate that the man who parks a bit of currency upon his opinion is not legally segregated with bootIeggcrs.

bury parallels that in the state, ex- cept in Waterbury the Democrats have the we'll oiled machine and in the state the Republicans have the machine. In Waterbury the appara- tus has been built up by clever poli- ticians who cannot be busted until the opposition is considerably more powerful than any trotted forth in recent years. A strongly entrenched machine, be it operative in city or in state, is always hard to upset.
 The Republicans in Waterbury have some outstanding citizens in their lineup, men who if nominated for civic office might instill much confidence and possibly upset the Democratic applcCart. But let the Republicans endeavor to place any of these on ticket and the out standing citizens immediately dodge the responsibility. They do not care to be mixed up in politics. They re- gard it as an ungrateful task to swing Waterbury out of tho finan- cial slough and can provide at least a dozen good reasons why they should remain in private life. The Republicans of the town therefore 20 to the mat with candidates who may be good for something but not good enough to lick the enemy. In short, Waterbury is suffering from the great American ailment, and that is to let the politicians attend to the politics while we good citizens keep clean the white gloves of righteousness.
 Republicans in the Democratic citadel on the Naugatuck evidently will take comfort from the thought that the Democratic majority this year was reduced from that Of former times. The assumption is natural that if the campaign of fi- nancial education is continued long enough the victory may ultimately be won. The Democrats might eX- plain that all the relatives of the office holders and their friends and acquaintances did not turn out as had been anticipated.
 The average citizen is more inter- ested in the condition of the roads than in the condition of city hall,

\ HEARTY AMEN

It is gratifying to discover that W. C. French uttered stirring words against billboard advertising after an advertising man had given an equal ly vivid description of the value of advertising generally. MT. French spoke as layman and he uttered thoughts of others who have been offended by the scenery destroying effects of the plethora of billboard advertising along the highways.
 Too many people are apt to think that newspapers dislike billboard advertising because 1t might be re- garded as competitor of newspaper advertising. The fact is, however, that such competition is negligible, the volume of newspaper advertising being many times that of billboards. Newspaper owners are no more op- posed to billboard advertising on commercial grounds than they are opposed to magazine advertising or radio advertising. Proof lies In the fact that newspapers do not print scathing denunciations of magazine and radio advertising, while few neglect the opportunity to denounce billboard advertising; and the lat ter is done solely on the ground that 1t is an offense to autoists who do not drive into the country to look at billboards but in order to enjoy the views provided by nature.
 The law in Connecticut against billboard advertising is next to worthless. There are not only too many billboards permitted, but they are too large. Some progressive states are making far moro headWay than Connecticut in curbing the highway billboard nuisance and they do so to a considerable extent through the aid Of organizations of men and women who take concerted and effective action.

PREVENTING FIRES

In virtually every municipality in the land the mayors or other responsible officials this week have called attention to the fact it is fire prevention weck-one of the 80 special weeks" reserved for special mention and publicity in a year possessing only 52 weeks. Obviously, everyone is in favor of fewer and less important fires. How many of them have been prevented by the agitation revolving around the so- called fire prevention week, how ever, nobody knows, not even the fire insurance com panies. What we do know, however, is that cigarette smokers to an alarming number continue to throw lighted stubs on floors without stepping on them, and that they throw such stubs into brush heaps while in the woods, sometimes causing forest fires. The best fire prevention system in cities that we know of, one that works all year round, is a good fire depart ment, plenty of water and hose. fire proof buildings, water sprinkler sys- a T ir,l li,,il ,l
 tion. This accomplished, the insur- ance rates are likely to go down if and when the fire insurance com- panies discover the ideal situation. Som etimes, however. they don't.

WATERBURY REMAINS AS IS

Victory of the Democratic candi- date for mayor in Waterbury proves once again that in this premier Democratic city Of the state" the Republicans have hard sledding re- gardIcss Of the potency of the financial arguments they may put forward. The campaign just closed was harifought in every way, ranging all the way from rallies, newspaper publicity, strong speeches over The Bridgeport radio station, and the presentation of a galaxy Of figures showing how far down in the financial mire the city happens to have descended under Demo- cratic rule, Yet when the counting Of ballots is over 1t is found that the arguments lacked practical re- suit, indicating either that the mass CT the people dlu not Know what the discussion was all about or that they did not think the Republicans would b" much of an Improvement over the Democrats.

possession of the Crown. Among the noteworthy results were: l. The ruin of the baronagc of Eng land. One half of the nobility were slain.

NS. DIPLOMACY

The conversations between PreSi- dent Hoover and Premier MacDon- aid so far have been of a most in- formal character. From the time when the pair discussed interna- tional conditions while sitting on q log in q Virginia forest to the pres cnt moment the conversation has been a series Of agreements as man to man.
 Thus history is being made. It is a different method than the secret diplomacy of the past. which usually has ended in final failure. The peo- ple too, have greater confidence in such evidences of human relations between the heads of great nations than in the out-moded methods of the past. Their imaginations are stir rcd at the openhandcd efforts, their 'Np'H al pu7'h ny puDllC oedtchi'lIt" that do not dodge the essentials What could have been more edifying than the manner in which MT. Mac Donald spoke to the American Con- gress the other day, laying all his cards on the table and amid ringing cheers announcing that i've have come 10 understand each other?'

 A. The macrocosm is the great universe, outside of man. The Mi crocosm Is the little universe inside of man and commonly means man himself as contrasted with the eX- ternal world.
 Q. Tell me something about the glass or jointed snake? A. This creature is not q snake at all, but legless lizard. It is often said that stroke of a stick will cause the body of this reptile to disjoint, the pieces wrggling off in every direction and coming to- gether again if the head part is not captured or destroyed. The ex- planation of this curious belief lies in the ability of this lizard to drop it's tail, an act that sometimes en- ahles it to escape while the still wiggling tail attracts the attention of the pursuer. Many other lizards do the same thing, and a spike" or short and imperfect tail grows in the place of the one lost. This curious reptile is rarely seen, as 1t lives under decaying vegetation and leaves or in the soil, but is some times turned up by the blow.

FIVE, TEN, AND FIFTEEN!


 He stood upon a corner in down. town New York, suitcase to the right of him, and a travelling bag to the left There was in his eyes a pe- culiar gleam that grew wilder and wilder as taxis approached, paused, and sped on. Yellow-brown-red-- green-lavender - checkered - an endless array, like troubles, not single file, but in battalions...
 With the forefinger of one hand he began to count off the fingers of the other hand, and as he did so, he muttered beneath his breath. FIVE cents for first quarter mile and five cents for each quarter thereafter" he said as @ Yellow flashed by.
 Ten cents for first THIRD" he | muttered as a Crimson approached. and TEN cents for every ADDI- TIONAL third"

The person with a conservative turn of mind will be inclined to take many of the current claims with grain of salt; which is to say he is willing to be shown but must be convinced with nothing less than substantial evi- dence.
