Now Go On With The Story

Tod Jordan stood smiling at Ce-
liza from the open French windows.
He looked handsome in his dinner
clothes.
Good evening"" he said. thought
I'd find you here. Mind If I come
out?"
of course not. There's a fine
breeze. Here-won't you sit DOWN."
She made room for him on the
wicker seat. Jordan leaned back
comfortably.
Il just dropped around TO see
how you felt after your-damp adj
venture. Evelyn says you're re-
covered"
Perfectly. Did she tell you the
rest?"
Il don't know. She lays you're
driving into town in the morning.

Yes" Celia shook her head
~mournfully. Father says I have
to come. That's why I'm out here
saying goodby to the garden and
the stars and the sky. I hate leav-
ing it all behind!"
you do? Can't say that I
blame you. It's a beap-:ll place"
He paused, then continued in E
lower voice, III never forget It,"
The way he spoke made the girl
turn instinctively. Light from the
living room cast a broad. golden
ribbon across the porch floor. but
the divan on which they sat was
In shadow. Jordan could not see
the delicate coloring that had risen
in Celia's cheeks.
You like It, too?" she asked In
a quiet voice.
Jordan shrugged. Like 1t? I
oh, I'm a fool. I guessl Celia, you

were dancing here well. I don't

Is This a System?
A Surefire system for successful
betting on games has been ex-
planned 20 ID. Up TO date, we've
been placing our bets on Browns
vile and letting 1t 60 at that. If
We won, we won and collected; If
we lost. I'VE lost and paid.
But this system, as far as we
can see. hasn't any flaws and is
bound to save money.
For example: Brownsville college
plays San Antonio college. Browns
vile has the stronger team. accord
ing to dope. so you place one bet
on Brownsville. giving only 10
points 10 whomever you are bet
ting. Then you bet on San Anto-
MO. and insist on 20 points. In
this manner. you're all set for a
killing. If the final score is any,
where from 10 to 20 to nothing.
you collect both bets. However
II Brownsville loses, you lose one
bet but win your second, thereby
ne~utralizing the bets. You don't
lose anything. II Brownsville wins
but by less than 10 points. the same
thing happens. II Brownsville wins
by either 100 o. 300, you collect
one bet, the other being auto
matically a tie and thrown out.
Now. understand that we are not
advocating betting. But If u must
bet, that's the way to do it.

years to come the Valley would be
the most highly developed section

That's taking in a lot OF terri
tory, but we don't think II, made

increase rapidly, since 1t has been
found that vegetables grow here

year round, even during the cold

excellent prices attract more farm
ers. And more farmers mean more
farms. more acres under cultiva-
ton.
Citrus: The Valley grapefruit Is
admittedly the best in the world
and mean the world-unless II is
picked and placed on the marke,
too early. too green. There is ?
ready market for good grapefruit
Ready market draws growers. more
growers mean more orchards.
Industry: Upon the completion
OF the port and the deep water
channel here. industry will increase
BY industry. we do not mean work
but factories. various kinds OF man
ufacturing plants. This phase Is SC
obvious that il is not necessary to
go into detail.
Tourist traffic: Tourists will

quate advertising. The section has
much TO offer the tourist: climate

SMARTALECK DRIVING

A friend of ours writes us that while on visit to Connecticut a year or so ago he met a certain New Yorker who boasted to him that Atlantic City in two and a half hours-a half hour faster than ex- from S5 to 90 miles an hour" along certain stretches of highway.
 In regard to city traffic he was equally specific. He could travel past traffic lights at his pleasure, he said, possessing pull with the police and the traffic courts. Whenever he

to give it.
 In this connection the city is in the very same position as the state. The state has constructed a large mileage of main highways and is now being dogged by residents in the rural districts to pay increasing attention to the rural or side roads. The city has a large assortment of paved main roads and is being con- fronted with the necessity of doing more for the minor streets. We have an efficient engineering department. Superintendent Merian's work, we feel certain. has been a satisfaction to all concerned. Under his jurisdiction some of the more important residence streets have been nicely improved with com- position of crushed stone and asphalt binder These streets are entirely adeuuate and seem we'll able to with stand the traffic to which they are subjected. The Mayor and Common Council too, we feel certain, are willing to do all within their power to accelerate the era of well nigh perfect streets; and as for the board of public works the city need only make sufficient appropriations and Chairman Humphrey will do the rest.
 Little more can be done this fall. but all citizens, we are sure, would like to sec 1881 something of ban ner year-one bigger and better even than 1930-in the noble task of inn proving outlying streets, A large number of New Britainites live on them and any city administration which wishes to keep in close touch with the best wishes of such resi- dents can do no better than to keep up this work, which has been ably begun but which is far from finish ed.

A PERSONALLY CONDUCTED REVOLT OVER POLITICS

The widespread revolution in Brazil indicates that another one= crop couatry is feeling the force or the depression in it's staple crop. While the revolution ostensibly is directed against political personali- ties, it is scarcely to be doubted that the low price of coffee is the funda- mental driving force for the revolt. If coffee were bringing high prices in Brazil and the country were prosperous, nobody would have the time or inclination to think of start ing a revolt.
 Brazil has a population of S0,- 00O,000 people, including Indians. Success or failure of the revolution will depend upon what happens in the state of Sac Paulo, headquarters of the coffee industry, and whether the army and navy remains loyal. Government circles in Washington profess to believe that the larger part of the army and navy will remain true to the existing regime; but other disquieting reports have it that the revolutionaries possess an army of 10000 men and are ex- pecting the assistance of every man in the states and districts they "conquer"
 The weakness of the revolution IS that it is bound up too strongly with the personal ambitions of it's leaders. These apparently have seized upon the prevailing economic depression as an opportunity. to win their po- litical ends, which at at the top Is an attempt to prevent President elect Julio Prestes from taking of flee next month. In other words, someone else wants the job-and in order to get it a revolution is start ed. No great principle apparently is involved.

SUBURBAN IMPROVEMENTS CONSTANTLY NEEDED

The city is honeycombed with streets in the outskirts which have not yet been accepted as public thoroughfares, yet serve as streets to such parts of the public that is forced to utilize them. Invariably such unaccepted streets lack sewers, sidewalks and paving. Manifestly, the city is confronted with curious ly expensive problem in connection with these streets, yet it is one that must ultimately be solved regard less of the costs.
 The city taxes property along such streets, and makes no reduction be- cause of the fact they are not for mally accepted-a technical term which means they are unofficial streets. Such thoroughfares exist ir profusion in the outlying sections especially the newer sections. Citi- zens are encouraged to erect tomes in the suburbs, not only by real estate interests, but by the city it. self-assumipg that every official from the Mayor down is a devout believer in the n-your-own- home movement.
 City Hall naturally proceeds slow ly where the question is one of ex- pending large sums of money in the outskirts for purposes benetiting property owners and residents there, Yet so long as the city moves out ward-which will continue for an indefinite period in these days of easy transportation by private car continued activities along these lines will be necessary.
 It is not being overlooked, either that the city has been eXpending a S1Zablc sum on Sucn improvements this year. The sewer work that has been under way has met with the approval of thousands of citizens and probably outstrips similar work done in the average of past years. But there is an endless amount ot such improvcm ents still to bc done if residents along the minor subur- ban streets are to be served. It is not only residents who live on unaccept- ed streets who are involved, but the many who live on accepted streets which are mud holes in rainy weather and remind of desert dust in summer.
 The city, we are aware, cannot do the impossible and cannot go heavi- ly into debt to meet all the demands made upon it. But if encouragement. is needed to do it's best we feel cer- tain that most citizens will be glad

ITALIAN AND GERMAN FASCISTS

According to dispatches from Coblenz, Germany, the frequently suspected connection between the Italian Fascists and the German Ma tionalists and Fascists was publicly proclaimed when representatives ot the Italian Fascist party attended a mass meeting of the Steel Helmets as honorary guests. The Fascists from Italy, it was said, Drought very friendly greetings from Italy and were accorded the privileges oi honored guests.
 Which tends to confirm also the observations of trained writers that some very peculiar diplomatic ar engagements are being discussed ir various national circles.
 Germany and Italy. for instance both dislike the Versailles Treaty and both want it revised, Italy dis liking 1t because it failed to make provision for larger slices of land ir Africa and elsewhere to be added to her empire.
 Italy, too~ said to feel better dis posed toward Russia and Turkey and is not inclined to overlook littl, Hungary.
 Whether all this is going tc amount to much upon the pages oi history it is given to no one to fore. cast Or the entire situation may be filled with dynamite.

received ticket" he had no diffi- culty in getting out of trouble by merely making himself known.
 The other day the fellow crashed headon into another car. killing one person and maiming two others. He was going so fast that the car he struck turned over three times. He himself was uninjured.
 He had been in one of his usual hurries and had driven out of line in order to get ahead of the traffic in front of him.
 Now he is faced with a grand jury indictment-not manslaughter, as is the case in many states-and if convicted faces a f1rst-rate term in prison. All the available evidence appears to be against him, eyewit- nesses saying that before the acci- dent terminated his wild Ide he had passed three traffic signals.
 We refer to this matter merely to indicate the type of drivers, regard less of their money or social stand ing. who are mentally unfit to drive a car and should be ruled off the highways before, and not merely after, an accident. Such persons must be known to the police and if their hands were not tied they could easily attend to the details of eliminating such hazards from the roads.
 Such drivers are met with nearly every day. They are a greater menace than grade crossings or bad curves. The authorities go to lengths to eliminate the two latter; why not the former also?

up to the eighth inning was climax ed then and there by three Athletics on the bases and one hand out. But when spit -baller Grimes pulled him self out of ihis hole 1t was felt that the game might go into an over time spree of ciphers. The teams looked too evenly matched to regard the possibilities otherwise.
 That ninth inning, with the Ath- letics at bat. changed the situation radically, all due to MT. Foxx turn ing in a homer with one on the bags. Dispatches from St. Louis say that FoXx traversed the bases amid such silence that his every footbeat could be heard all over the park. It is easy to sympathize with the rabid St. Louis fans who were forced to see such a termination to a brilliant game.
 But the Cardinals, we suspect, are not yet completely downed. A team that can come from behind the handicap of two defeats and put up such a quality of baseball as has been offered during the last three games is entitled to the respect of all followers of the national game. The public likes that type of game ness; and though Connie Mack's great Athletic machine Is the re- cipient of a vast admiration in every city except perhaps St. Louis, there is no denying that the Cardinals form a great team that might yet win one or two games in Philadel- phia. At least, if they continue the pace struck up in St. Louis nobody is going to be interested in many other types of sports until the series is finally concluded.
