SMALLER INVENTORIES STILL
 REQUIRE HARD WORK

One of the banes of business is to be forced to take an inventory this time of the year. In many Of the establishments throughout the city this work began after Christmas It makes one sympathize deeply with the inventory takers.
 Since the era of hand to mouth buying started the task is appre- ciably lighter in many establsh- ments. The day when every business establishment was filled with slow moving goods from cellar to garret is no more. Rapid turnover is the keynote; and in many a place the article that doesn't sell within a req sonable time is moved through d drastic sacrifice in price, oftentimcs at q substantial loss.
 When the low inventory system started several years ago manufac- turers were alarmed It turned out, however, that there was little req son for it. Since that time both commerce and industry enjoyed in- creased profits. The gain has also in- cluded increased stability during times of fluctuation,

IF YOU DON'T LIKE TT
 GO TO CANADA

Connecticut's prohibition enforc- CTS, notably the federals enjoying the states hospitality, tried to scare whoopee artists at the close of the year by announcing that the appear ance of cracked ice and ginger ale at a table would be regarded as po- tential evidence Of breaking the sacred prohibition law.
 The warning apparently did not do much good. Much ginger ale was consumed all the same and the ice companies evidently did as good 8 business Tuesday as on hot day in summer.
 "Potential" law breaking does not appeal to us. A citizen actually can have ginger ale on the table, and prefer to drink it iced, and not have any intention at all of breaking a law. least of all the prohibition law.
 AS we understand it, some federal judge once proclaimed the doctrine of potentiality regarding ginger ale and cracked ice. Ever since that time the ginger ale ads in the papers have become more prominent, and the ice companies, harassed by the prospect of decreasing business on account of the inroads of the electric refrigerator industry, have taken renewed heart.

WE DRIVE WITH CARE AND WALK AS USUAL

IL has been evident for long tune that the police were making more arrests than ever before. The annual statistics Of the department indicate that most of the increase has been due to increased traffic regulations and the enforced educa- tion Of drivers who fail 10 take blinkers and stop signals seriously.
 Pedestrians, however. seem to be more or less immune from arrest. They can cross a street when the light is against them with that sang froid that frequently leads to a trip to the hospital or the cemetery.
 This condition has been brought about largely by the elongation of the waiting period for pedestrians when the lights are against them, It is unreasonable to expect all pedos- trians to wait on the sidewalks the length of time required since traf- fife was spccded up by giving it a longer right of way. Consequently they hobble across when the hob bling is good, and the police seem well satisfied. II has been found as difficult to educate pedestrians as to teach tricks to d canary.

CITY'S HIGHER INCOME WILL BE NEEDED

The report of Bernadotte LoomiS, tax collector. shows that in 1929 there was S362.0O0 more collected in tax money than the year before.
 This is gratifying, If there is any merit in the claim. repeatedly made. that cities should be run like busi- ness institutions, then there is merit in the expectation that money due should be paid.
 The tax collector recently was subject to acrimonious criticism. Al. he had done was his duty. so far as looking after the city's interests m tax collections were concerned. Aft CT the smoke of verbal warfare was over the Common Council, very properly. gave him a vote of conil- dence.
 The city is faced with heavy dis bursements The tax collector has nothing to do with the disburSe- monts. He merely collects the amount of taxes prescribed for hlm to collect and at rates set by the Common Council. He is not expected to play at it, but accomplish results.
 In the near future New Brltalh will be faced with larger eXpendi- lures than in the past Most Of these are unavoidable. A growing concern is always besct with more outlay than one which is standing still or going backward. We prefer to grow ; we'll pay the costs Of growth some how.
 It is comforting to discover that so far the important function oi collecting taxes has kept pace with growth and needs. The city must continue to operate as d business in stitution.

WHEN REVENGE, COMES MATERIAL

Down in Maryland some mental nltwit sent an internal machine to q bride. As she opened it kin and neighbors crowded around. It eX- ploded, killing the bride and injur- ing seven others two children among them. Several may lose their eyesight.
 What a travesty upon the depths of human nature such tragedy affords. The creature responsible evidently intended to kill only one person. He did not pause to con- sider that others, against whom he had no grudge, would be at the scene when the internal machine he manufactured went off
 In eXacting punishment for mis- deeds, society is not supposed to be actuated by the spirit of revenge. But try 10 think of such a deed without being actuated by a venge- ful spirit against the perpetrator.

GOVERNOR ROOSENELTS
 "CIARIO\ CALL"

Governor Roosevelt Of the state Of New York has sent message to the Legislature. In it he shows no re- progression from former ideals in government. Rather, he shows progress.
 The message will be studied in particular by all friends of the gov- ernor who regard him as possessing presidential timber. The message. and others made and to be made, in due time may be quoted in presi- dential campaigns.
 The governor would modernize the "antiquated" public utility con- mission Iaw-a law in New York which is just as good or bad today as in most other states. He would reform the state prison system so that they will no longer be breeding places for crimes. He would reform the banking laws. so that depositors will be more thoroughly safeguard ed. He would reform county and town government in the interest Of home rule by such municipalities. He would amend and improve the la bor laws, including the prohibition Of injunctions in disputes without notice and provision for jury trials He would have the state own and operate water power development along the St. Lawrence including state title to transmission lines. He favors a four-year term for the governor. with elections between presidential elections.
 These include controversial topics and the governor has not tried to straddle d single one of them. He looks forward. not backward.

EN PASSANT By Fred BehrenS

The New Year locks bright for commercial aviation-but what about the future of drug stores?
 Are We to have another year of not knowing whether you pay the Soda counter man or buy a cheek from the cashiers cage, and when? Some stores use one method, some another, and you never know, To ton stands out as a minor stum- hling block to human progress. For myself, l resent the check in ad- vance method, because l find it highly embarrassing to approach a strange cashier lady (one who has nothing to do with soda) and an- nouncc that l want a check for a raspberry nut sundae with dash of whipped cream. Suppose she were 10 get the wrong impression?
 And l resent checks anyway, be- cause it's Wilful destruction Of our national forests to make them and throw them away. I demand a Will Hays to regulate drug store pro cedure.
 This may not be a very important issue right now, but it will Dc mighty important when prohibition starts to take hold and people be- gin drinking .odas,

HELPING THE NEEDY WITH CITY WORK

One learns with satisfaction that the Republican bloc in the Common Council nas been broken in oppo- sition 10 the plan Of Mayor Paonessa to provide outdoor work for certain of the unemployed. In an impas- stoned speech from the floor tn" mayor gave a thorough going req son for favoring money from the ln- cidental fund to provide work.
 The charity department of the city already is paying some heads Of families sS a week. No production for the city goes with the money. The mayor logically declared that il would be just as easy for the city 10 provide little work for the money it Is paying out anyway.
 Then there is the question oS humanitarianism. Of course, some prosperous folks are not interested in the subject. Yet perhaps they 20 ito church on Sundays.

FOR HOSPITALITY LOOK AT RENO

Reno, Nevada, remains quite a place. At least, it continues 10 hold the American championship for quick and accurate divorCes and re- marriages,
 The other day a couple Of some prominence got q divorce in Reno, after having lived in the town for three months Both parties to the suit charged each other with men tai cruelty.
 Mental cruelty in Reno means much.
 Ten minutes after the divorce was granted by the sympathetic judge the man in the case was married to another woman who had been living in Reno to await the long sought opportunity for a honeymoo right after dear Romeo got his divorce.
 If trial marriages ever gain favor Reno is the place to start the racket.

WEAK LINKS

The present is a time when eco- lomic weaknesses are brought 10 tight. Firms which have been hiding weaknesses under the cloak Of booming prosperity have been de- auded Of their warm outer garments and stand chilly in the blasts Of an economical winter Thus we read O. firms which are entered into the process of adjustment, of merging with stronger concerns, and ire auently court activities form the prelude to such reorganization.
 In the long run this turns out 10 be a benefit. just as it is benefit for an individual to go to a dentls' and have his teeth fixed. The only unplea santness connected with the process is while the job is being done.

"SNiARI

In our opinion the word smart is the most overdone word in the English language. There are smart hotels, smart" gowns, smart" automobiles. smart resorts. smart" neighborhoods and smart people. What the word actually means we have no idea except that it has come to take the place of stylish" or "fashionable' or "chic."
 The other day We glimpsed an ad in | New York paper and the word smart" was used nine times. We do not think that was a very smart ad. The writer of the ad evidently was too lazy to trouble his mind for 8 smarter word.

 But the Common Council doesn't think the police department is as im- portant as business or a factory. It steadfastly has refused to create the position Of lieutenancy of de. tectives. so that the detective with the higher rank would be the boss of the coop
 If that were done then there would be no incidents like that when Detective Sergeant OMara refused to take orders from Detective Ser geant McCue.
 The police department-or the detective bureau-also needs to be run like a private business.

SOMETIMES WE'RE HAPPY DESPITE TRAGIC NEWS

"A Happy New Year to Eyeryone" shouted the Herald in top-lina streamer Tuesday. And we meant it,
 It must be confessed that the con- tents ot the first page indicated that everybody wasn't entering the new year in a happy mood, The world in its train Of disaster and sudden death moved on in normal fashion,
 Four score children perished in a theater fire in Scotland. ten persons injured in auto crashes on the pike, the hullabaloo about the killing Of rum runners off Newport automo- bile collisions, law suits, the snoop- ing of dry sleuths.
 And today there is much of the usual to report.
 Still. we stick to our declaration wishing a good year to all; and that means everybody"

FRANCE MERELY ADOPTS
 L. s. TARIFF PLAN

Sometimes a chuckle is hidden midway in a paragraph of piece Of news that gets no more prominence than personal item accidentally finding itself at the bottom of a column underneath the star re- porter's red hot story.
 There was the item which indicat- ed that the American embassy in Paris would protest to the French government against placing a high tariff upon automobiles and parts.
 The Yankee embassy would tell the Frenchmen engaged in ''protect- ing home industry" that if a high duty prevented American automobile makers from shipping their product to the country it would mean il shutdown in various assembly plants maintained by the American -nanu- lecturers in France, which would re- suit in unemployment for the as- semblers.
 That is as if the French govern ment were to inform the American government that if high tariffs were placed upon French goods lot os American importers would be put out of business, and their thousands Of employees would lose their jobs.
 Anyway, what business has the American government in protesting to France about adopting the Amer ican principle of a higher and better tariff2

The as- tronomical year is that period of time in which the earth completes one revolution around the sun and is 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes and 4C seconds, Both the sidereal and the astronomical years, of course, are longer than the 365 years of the civil year, and for that reason leap year is inserted in the calendar every four years (except at the turn of the century,. All these correc- tions still do not exactly equalize the year, and there is slow &C., emulation Of error which may be corrected some time in the future.
 Q. Are segregated lepers permic- ted 10 marry? Do the children in- herit the disease?
 A. Marriages are permitted in the leper colonies. Children are taken from the parents soon after they are born, and for that reason there is little danger of their be- coming tainted with leprosy.

Swiftest Way To
 End Eczema

 Saws Alabama Man

There is not an excuse in the world for a person to suffer with fiery Eczema. Yet how many people do you sec with ugly skins which spoil their whole appearance!
 What you want to do is abolish every trace of eczema with Peter sons Ointment, for years nation- wide famous for speedily ending Ec. zema.
 The first application of Peterson's takes out the inflammation. brings blessed relief from that painful itch ing.
 Repeated use of this powerfully soothing, healthing Ointment as- sures a marvelously smooth, deli- cate skin,
 Mir. A. W. Turner of Birmingham, Ala, writes: "Was troubled for about ? yrs. with eczema and after used Peterson's Ointment for about 1 or 5 times, my trouble en- tirely disappeared"
 One application of Peterson's Ointment will stop the burning and itching of Eczema and one 35c box will prove it-all drug stores.

WE FACE THE CENSUS $ WITH CO\FIDE\E

It did not surprise many 10 learn that the personal tax list in New Britain had taken a drop the past year. What was surprising about the finished report was that the de- crease only totalled 440.
 We have been hearing much of empty tenementS and people moving from the city. There has been no doubt about the empty tenements. but there is some doubt about what they signify. It is barely possible that some families which in times of booming prosperity treated them selves to an entire tenement for themselves have doubled up with relatives; or many of them may have begun purchasing homes for themselves.
 Anyway, whatever one decides is at the bottom of the empty tene-  ment situation the fact remains that the personal tax list accounts for nearly as many payees as the year before. That would -'"an only 220 families. Some of .yse were ac- counted for in increased abatements
 Another definite criterion of tn" city's population is the circulation of the Herald It remains considerably in excess of 15,0OO, last week having fewer people in the city.
 We await the federal census talk CTS with confidence.
