American prosperity can be maintained

And there Is every reason for this. For
there has not been a period in many

the money.

modities and finished goods are quickly
available to the public. People must
live; they must be clothed and fed.
Their household needs must be re-
placed.
The year 1880 has been no exception
In retail business history. A recent
survey indicated that retail sales were
behind only about per cent while
transactions with customers were far
ahead Of last year. believe that
prices are down about 20 per cent. With
the coming Of colder weather, business
has improved. believe we are in the
convalescent period. Soon we will be
well. Later we viii be stronger than
ever.
Many facts substantiate this. Inyen-
tories IN manufacturers and retailers

awakening to a realization that life is
going on pretty much as always. Even
now shortages are occurring In wanted
goods, deliveries are slowing up, and

Greatest Motoring Hazard Does Not Lie in Worn Rubber

It is not the easiest thing in the world to oppose a measure propos- -cd by a public official when it is for tho safety of a great pcrccn:- age of the public. but there is no gainsayng the fact that Motor No- hicle Commissioner R. B. Stoeckci's s announced determination to revoke registrations of automobiles found to be rolling on worn tires is read fly susceptible to criticism.
 Every motorist likes 8 well equip ped car. but not all can afford one, and it docs not seem at all far to rule against tires simply bcca3sc they skid on wet pavements or slip pery leaves. As a matter of fact. some of the newest and best tires on the market will slide off the trav- elcd way under some conditions, and experienced drivers know full well that once the skidding process gets; under way it takes but few sec onds to cause damage if there is an other car, tree, a pole or pede5- trian in the way.
 The danger of blowouts, is, of course. greater from worn tires than from new rubber, but the long strides taken in the industry during the past few years have reduced the hazard in this respect. Naturally, q car with perfect brakes, steering gear. headlights and tires is always to be preferred to the direct oppo- site, but so is million dollars.

Voters Apathy Caused By Big Men Who Act Small

Political observers, men who study trends, reactions, etc. again bemoan the fact this year that the humble electorate is apathetic to- ward the ballot. There is no question: ing the claim that thousands remain away from the polls on election day who should attend to express their preference for candidates for office.
 The voter is being pointed to with the finger of scorn and made to ap- pear as culprit and a horrible ex- ample. Many remedies have been suggested for his attitude, includ- ing laws which would penalize him for not voting and other laws which would deprive him of the right un- less he exercised it every election day.
 Perhaps the voter i9 not as black as he is painted. If the men who direct the deStinies of government would persuade fellow citizens of brains and dignity to serve in public office, the electorate would have a more exalted opinion of politics. As the situation now stands, the aver age voter has little respect for men who occupy high stations because he has learned that while the office may be high. the mans desire to de- liver real public service, rather than feather the nest of those who pull the strings, is not on the same high n1GOe Whom tha nnljtjcianC Ston playing politics and give more atten- ton to good government the voter will respond accordingly.

X LITTLE FRUIT FROM
 LENITT'S CHARGES /

The Public Service Commission is sprucing up. When Professor Levitt Eon his points against it in conncc- ton with failure of the commission to order the railroads to remove crossings in conformity with the law there were two possibilities: That the commission would continue to go slow about such orders, or that it would expedite them. It evidently has chosen the latter method.
 -Four grade crossings in Hartford were ordered removed by the com mission in ono day, the city of Hart ford, of course. being required to pay part of the expense.
 This is good work on the part of the commission. It indicates that it is realizing the railroad is in first class financial condition and that there is no longer any excuse for holding back in ordering necessary crossing removal on the score of poN Nerty.

Paonessa' Union Initiation In Bristol shown in Records.


 A. E. Gossclin, secretary of the Brcklayers, Masops and Plasterers' union in Bristol. unearthed an in- teresting fact recently while boring through the records of the organiza- tion. Let MT. Gosselin tell it in his own words:
 "As I was looking over our old records I ran across an old union card of a man who was New Brit aims former mayor and at present the nominee for county sheriff. An gelo M. Paonessa.
 Bristol had the honor of initia- ting him on August ', 1905, as a. brcklayer and mason. He was initi atcd by Fred Miller. who is now president of Local No. 3 of New Britain
 The majority of New Britain resi- dents arc familiar with Paonessas $ climb from the bottom of the ladder. And that is no mere figure of speech because he was actually mason's s helper and his job required him to climb up ladders many times daily. Mir. Gosselin's revelation is doubly interesting because climbing a lad der as youth seems to have become a political habit of later years. Pao- ncssa is still or the ladder Whether he reaches the top only the future can tell.

 But to change existing equipment in the theaters to make possible use oi the wider screen is expensive. Thousands of theater owners were hard pressed financially to make the changes demanded by the talk ing pictures; now, scarcely settled in the new order of things, comes another important invention that will require the scrapping of present projection apparatus and the en- largement of the screens. with the likelihood that in many theaters the stages are not wide enough for the wider screen. so that they would have to be rebuilt.

BUILDING UP THE NAVY
 TO PARITY

In magazine article General
 Pershing claims that tho American
 nation is practically disarmcd."
 That may be his way of saying that
 the nation is not armed as effective ly as it ought 10 be, which is prob ably true. In the case of the navy
 there is the fact that to construct 1t
 up to parity with Great Britain by 1886 would cost almost one billion dollars. This great cost is due to the fact that after the Washington con- ference of 1921-2 the United States
 Jagged behind the other great naval powers in new construction in the
 unrestricted categorics. This was described as Coolidge economy" Since that time the word parity has been juggled at international conferences al Geneva and at the London naval conference. And after much filing and hauling VIC have
 achieved that privilege-on paper. Achieving it actually, as previously stated. will cost a cool billion. and all because successive national ad- Ministrations have let the naval cs- tablishmcnt drift along on waves oi economy while the other nations i that were party to the Washington trcaty-nations not having as much wealth at their disposal to build ships-built up 10 the treaty speci-

 There is no likelihood that the coming Congress will act differently, especially in view of the condition of business generally. There has been a substantial drop in govcIn- mental revenues and tho Admin istration shows signs of being alarm. cd lest the good record of economy and tax reduction be broken. Chair
 man Britten of the House naval af- fairs committee will push, as Of
 yore, the building plans he has at
 heart; but what is to be done with
 q Congress which is inclined to
 count its pennies? The Navy De- partment has already initiated an economy campaign by means of re- arranging warships, scrapping vcs- sols before the time allotted by the
 London naval treaty, reducing the number of new naval cnIistmcnts, and playing hob with naval bases. as was done at New London. In this

MORE TRAFFIC LIGHTS

Walls of motorists against the rapid multiplication of traffic signal lights seem to be of little avail. Down in Meriden. for instance. which so far has been only partly plastered with signal lights, the au- thorities have set out to at least equal traffic light conditions in New Britain. if not surpass tho Hard ware City
 Wiring along Broad and East Main streets in that city has been completed and negotiations are un- der way for the purchase of through traffic signs to place at intersccting streets. In other words, not only is but it is also adopting the boulevard plan.
 It must be that the medium sized cities are the best markets for cleo tric traffic equipment, seeing that Hartford so far has failed 10 adopt them on a relatively wholesale plan. Traffic cops remain on duty on some of the main intersections in Hartford and they meet the requirements ad-, r1jrahIv Tn the sna Her eff ipS how ever, the effort to hold down the personnel of the traffic department is self evident, this being the main talking point of the electric com- panies when they seek to sell their appliances 10 the small cities.
 We still maintain, and believe VIC have the nearly unanimous opinion of motorists with us, that traffic cops arc so far superior to automatic traffic lights that there is no com- parison. The urge to save money by having machinery do the work of traffic cops is not satisfactory to the public, the only thing in favor of the plan being that traffic lights on some corners-not on all-are bet ter than nothing at all. And even this is more of a point for conten- ton than an undisputcd fact.

The same process of reasoning applied to constructing the number of war ships allowable under the treaty would yield employment to thou sands of mechanics and for q con- siderable period of time. This all along has been we'll realized in Eng land. where every effort has been made to keep the shipbuilding plants busy as a means of allcviat- ing unemployment.
