THE BRITISH DIRIGmLES

So conservative and set in his ways is the average Britisher that not one of every four believed that British skill could construct such a dirigible as the R-101 and make it work. The first to go up iii the craft were regarded as dare devil individuals who didn't care If they did commit suicide. But to the astonishment and satisfaction of the nation the R-10l made trial flights successfully, changing dubious thoughts into pride and satisfaction. So easy did the big ship respond to the controls that the parachute drills were merely matters of form; the vessel wasn't in the air more than an hour before everyone aboard realiz- ed that descent to the earth would be in the normal manner and not with umbrellas.
 England has built two of these s5,- 100000 dirigibles, the R-100, a replica of the 101, also being con- pleted and almost ready for an opti- cal demonstration above London and environs.
 After having successfully con- structed dirigibles that surpass any heretofore built, England if she realizes the value of playing safe. will devote care and, time to the training of their crews before long distance flights are attempted. Ger tain experiences in the past have shown that trained crews on dirigibles are quite as important as alrwOrthy construction.

ties of increased pay for knowing more; this may come, but not rapidly. The net effect at present is an enlarged outlook, knowledge of the most modern methods, and in- creased efficiency in their duties for the city's youth.
 There are many successful persons who long ago quit putting them selves out in an endeavor to attain more knowledge about almost any subject not concerned with enter tainmcnt, enjoyment and pleasure, They have forgotten four fifths Of some of the studies which early in life they struggled to learn. A frank president of q New England college said recently that at 35 all men who ride in Pulmans talk, speak and act alike regardless of their earlier diff fcrcnccs in education and environ ment. He spoke from years Of per sonal observation. If this be true, then it is evident that few of us do like the teachers. who as rule continue their studies to the end.

Observations On The Weather

Washington. Oct. 17.-Forecast for Southern New England: Partly cloudy and cooler tonight; light frost m western Massachusetts if weather clears; Friday fair; fresh, possibly strong northwest winds.
 Forecast for Eastern New York; Partly cloudy tonight: cooler in ex- trrme south and east central DOT tions tonight; light frost in extreme south. heavy frost in central and killing frost in extreme north DOT ton if weather clears; Friday fair; fresh northwest winds.
 Conditions: The area of low pres yesterday is now central over Nova Scotia. It is causing unsettled weather from the Lake region east ward to the coast.
 Light snow was reported from the northern portions of New York and Vermont. An area of high pres sure central over Wisconsin is pro- ducing pleasant weather in all dis tricts from the Rocky Mountains eastward to New England.
 The temperatures are falling along the northern border from Minne- sota eastward to Maine The lowest temperature reported was 12 de-. grees above zero at White River, Canada.

SAND IN THE OH.

In conformity with it's penchant for speed, q strike in New York City can attain alarming proportions" quicker than almost anywhere else in this country. As a result, follow ing the walkout of truck drivers for certain large oil companies. ulti matums have come fast that if by certain day the demands for more wages and the eight-hour day is not granted by the remaining oil com panies who have not yet signed on the dotted line there will be strikes of other workmen identified with the oil industry, including garage and filling station employees. Sym pathetic strikes are also threatened.
 Whether these threats will be car ried cut will be known within a few days; meanwhile. the metropolis learns that strikebreakers are paid from S15 to $20 day, that police guards are necessary by the thou sands, and that private guards are equally numerous. And it is discov- cred that the smaller independent oil companies are more prone to sign up with the union than the big oil com panies, probably because the small fellows have no money 10 spend fighting an economic war while the big ones always have fat surplus for the purpose.
 How such a widespread affair is handled by the city administration has it's repercussion in politics, which just now is at high tide in the city. Tammany has friends on both sides, La Guardia is critical, and Norman Thomas should be grateful for the opportunity it gives him to rub in some of his party's economic doc trincS.
 One point about such an upheaval in New. York is not to be overlook ed: They can end, and often do end. as quickly as they began. Where so much industry and labor are con- centrated heads can get together easily and come 10 satisfactory con- clusions with swiftness. It is to be hoped there are wise heads left on both sides.

tropical regions.


 Spreading the salve in secret, how ever, is different. very much so. When plots are matched to pack the Tariff Commission, when letters are written 10 the President to have him oust a tariff missioner whose only offense was he had more accurate figures than those present ed by lobbyists, when a gentleman from manufacturers association is shunted in as a senator's sc"~e. tary and receives pay from the gov ernment and the private interests al the same time, then these instances come under the heading of secret lobbying.
 The nation must be credited with progressing. It has been illustrated already that such methods are be ginning to defeat themselves.
 Secret lobbying in Washington is said to involve all manner of causes 1t is to be hoped that Senator Cara way and his committee does not con. fine itself to the subjects a majority of the inquisitors do not like. but will dig to the bottom of a situation that has become menace to free gov ernment.

THE MONROE EXTENSION

It has been several years that the extension of Monroe street, necessi- tating cutting through what former ly were houses and lots. was author ized. The work was begun fairly promptly, but the execution thereof was slow Many residents began to wonder whether the job ever would be finished in their lifetime. A fe" weeks ago, however. the board of public works set forward with re- newed determination, the better to bring it to a successful conclusion.
 Making all allowances for possible setbacks. this work should be fully completed by spring. If the weather is favorable it may be done sooner. Then the city will possess a new artery of travel which will permit straight route from Corbin avenue and Monroe street to Ellis street. In view of the configuration of the street map in that vicinity, this will be an important advantage over the former termination of Monroe street at Greenwood street.
 This improvement has cost a high CT sum than many others, but all it amounts to is an extension that should have existed when that DOT tion of the city was laid out in the first place. Of street planning in the modern sense there was none in the old days in this city. There was no oversight and nobody cared. The cxigencies of modern travel, of course, could not be foreseen; but it is a fact becoming increasingly evil dent that New Britain possesses more peculiar shaped streets than almost any city Of it's class in New England. The Monroe extension, al though valuable, is only one of many other improvements that could be made.

THE DIFFERENCE IN LOBBIES

'Lobby' is word of evil allusions although there is the likelihood that the public, eager 10 come to ready made conclusions and assume more than facts warrant, may become a trifle mixed and regard perfectly legitimate rites in the nations capi- tai as lobbying, seeing no difference between ordinary open efforts in favor of q cause or a principle and that secret, undcrhand method of influencing legislation which alone qualities as the genuine article in lobbying.
 Of the two score organizations in Washington variously mentioned as being interested in guiding the thoughts Of vagrant congressman and senators, a goodly percentage undoubtedly would not hesitate to stoOp 10 conversations on the quiet when and if given the opportunity Of the 100 or so high priced law y@rs, "E-congrcssmen, x-scnators and ex-ohicials generally who have offices within easy motoring distance of the capitol more than q fair per centage are m business for no other reason than 10 trade upon their pri- ya'e influence with their friends the parliamcntarians and government cronies, That is an easy way to earn q larger salary than the govern ment ever paid them,
 But appearing before committees with arguments for this interest or that, or openly presenting facts
 which it is hoped will impress the committees or Congress as q whole, is not lobbying. That is any persons ugAt Mir. Ex- Official, employed by

STUDIOUS TEACHERS

''Never quit learning" once re- marked q Connecticut Yankee to his son. You may think you know it all, as l did when I was your age, but if you quit learning you prove that you don't know half what you ought to-
 His language was even less polish ed than that, but what he said was the same in substance.
 One naturally would think that school teachers, who have had to go through more than the average of technical training and who have been forced 10 remember much Of what they studied. would be through acquiring further knowledge after they began to show the city's youth how to master the rudiments of an education. This supposton. how ever. is in error,
 There are school teachers in this City-many of them-who study as hard as any of their pupils. They read books, not for mental relaxation or entertainment. but for increased knowledge. They attend lectures and buy them by the course-frequently in Hartford. Indeed, lecturers would have much smaller audiences than they happen to get were it not for a galaxy of studious teachers who never finish learning.
 The other day we learned of list of % or more lectures on literature which local teachers were glad to subscribe for at $2O for the course. Not cheap, by any means, but worth ! it 10 a teacher who wants to learn | more. Then there are new text books which first get into the hands of ! teachers, ana on all klnQS or dCduG- mical subjects, nothing of which is entertaining, and every line in them is designed for brains eager for more work and increased information This is what teachers call Keeping up with the profcssion;" what Il really amounts to is keeping a little ahead of it's practical demands.
 One would be inclined to say, o course, that a school teacher, being | by nature and profession a cultured person, would be interested in cul. tured entertainment. But this busi
 ness of studying and learning bl teachers Is not entertainment Mucf of it flags the brain, It is not don'
 primarily because of the potentiali
