SLOW BIT >LRI

The most important outdoor jobs under way III this city at present seem to be the construction Of the approach 10 the monument. the con- srruct.on Of the new Black Rock bridge and approaches, and the con- scrucuon of the Washington park Nadiag pool
 Because the contractor building he uading pool did not move as swiftly as some city officials thought necessary there vas a little discus sion about it recently; but the con- tractor seems to have proved that he would get the 1ob completed sooner or later.
 There has been no public discus son of The slowness in connection with the Black Rock bridge. This work was to have been completed in 40 days; then lt was hinted that this meant 4o working days. Now nobody IS even taking the trouble to hint. Everybody is resigned 10 the detours most Of the summer,
 And who is causing the delay at the Black Rock bridgec Surely not the New Haven railroad, as the bridge itself has been virtually com pleted for weeks. One week, during the early part Of the work, when the railroads derrick or some such appliance did not show up the day lt was expected there was a tendency 10 criticize. But the apparatus show ed up soon enough and the girders got into place al a quite lively pace. Everything else in connection with the span proper also got into plac- with alacri'y
 It was when work commenced on the approaches and the sidewaI Ks that things have been moving at a snau's pace. Instead Of going to work upon the approaches at the same time the bridge vas built, the span was constructed first and then the work began on the approaches. It has been davdlng along ever since. There seem 70 be more pipes. poles. subways and such like TO fuss with at the spot than ever occurred at one place in the city before. Neither sidewalk IS constructed, and for a week now the entire former pavement Of bricks down to South Burritt street has been torn up preparatory to laying 3, new pave ment. complicaring the detour ana adding to the inconvenience; but the new pavement-at the time this was written-showed no signs of being put down.
 "Untorseen'' difficulties no doubt are to blame. But the city should haev looked ahead little and some of the work now being done couldl have been started at the same time worok was begun on the bridg, oroper.

YELLOW BROOK \ GRAND OLD
 NAME

Willow Brook was named when what is now New Britain was in knee pants. The name is deeply inn bedded in local history.
 Willow Brook park received its name from the brook that flows into it and it was an appropriate name for the public park.
 There is no need to change the name of the park any more than i. is advisable to change the name Of the brook
 There is a tang about the name that sticks to the memory. Other public plots and parks can be named after various historic per- sonages. Let Willow Brook retain 2 name that was raised with New Britain.
 In attempting to honor various historic personages we should not overlook keeping green the names invented by the pioneers of this

 In settling my bill for the Chi nese carryings-on I protested over an outrageous charge. l struggled and choked with French expressions Of resentment, while every worker came flying out of the various booths to join in the monkey-and- parrot-like excitement. I lost the argument, of course, and departing in utter confusion heard them all join in what sounded to me like a local version of the Old Gray Mare song in deep bass-and with the cus- tomary staccato interpolations.
 Paris is at it's topmost best at G:30, when the dreamy three-horr twilight steals over the acres of chimney pots and the corrugated shop shutters are dropped. It is when the Paris workers pop out on the sidewalks and go laughing and Chattering home to dinner. Every body is touched by an indefinable buoyancy and skips along.

Gen. Mobile Takes Trip
 Aboard Graf Zeppelin

Friedrichshafen, Germany, July Is Gq) - General Umberto Mobile, whose own two dirigible polar ex- petitions came to grief, was a pas senger aboard the Graf Zeppelin when it left here this morning on q cruise to Spitzbergen.
 The dirigible will visit that section north of North Cape where General Mobiles Italia came down on the ice with consequent loss of life to its crew and officers after flight across the North Pole.
 There were 22 passengers aboard the Zeppelin including seven Amer jeans whose names were given as:

Paris, July 16.-I drove out this morning for a farewell look at that i ancient grey and depressing pile that is the prison of Saint-Lazarre, shortly to come down. 1 once went through it and it became the theme | of a recurrent dream from which always awaken sitting up straight in i bed with the horrors.
 Its wilderness of echoing corridors have played a conspicuous part in the history of Paris From the :n- side courtyard creaking tumprils de- parted with the doomed for the guillotiue during the Revolution. Mn1e Caillaux and other celebrated prisoners awaited trials there.
 Outside of it's sad, dry odor and filth, the most pronounced impress sion is of its glossy, swollen and beady-eyed rat. They scamper about freely and are so numerous the cats no longer bother them. Cooks in the kitchen, as a mere gesture. kill on an average of 100 a day.
 The rats. and I know a person who suggest one of them, are the most playful around dusk in the eve- ming. So much so that new prisoners suffer from a malady known as ''mal de six heurres,' from which many women are reputed to have gone stark mad. The prison dates from the beginning of the 12th cen- tury, and was once a hospital for lepers. IL is now occupied only by | women.
 It is ruled entirely by nuns. and there are no privileges. At every bunk side there is a peep hole, and unfortunates live a life of whispers. The only light permitted is from the flare of candles. One section is git- CT over to girls under age who gre under correction. Some sixteen look 40 after a year.
 On that memorable July 13. 17S9, when famine ragged and Paris ran red. the mob broke into St. Lazar~e and footed the huge stock Of food which the Lazarists had stored away. The monks were driven out and the building sacked. Always it has been ar eyesore, and its demolition will net be mourned.

COMMUNICATED
Suggests Name for Park

Editor. Herald:
 While we are all in the mood for naming parks allow me 10 res pectfully suggest the name of "Platt Osbourn" for the new east end park. IL will he remembered by the older citizens that Mir. Osbourn, New Britains giant was born and lived in an old farm house that stood for years on Kelsey street opposite Rocky Hill avenue. I think the name of this highly inspected cltzen should be considered.

RECESS TAKEN
IN HEARINGS ON
RED MENACE
Congressional Committee to
Resume Its Activities
in September.

CHICAGO, July 3o.-The congress
sional committee investigating COM
munistic activities in the United
States, after ending its session here
in a heated argument, was in adj
journment today until next Septem-
Der.
Representative Hamilton Fish
New York; chairman of the COM
mittee, said the investigation would
be resumed in about month, prob
ably either in Los Angeles or Wash
ington, D. G.
Among more militant witnesses
who appeared before Representative
Fish and his fellow congressman
Tuesday was Arthur Fisher, presi-
dent Of the Civil Liberties League.
SO aroused was Representative
John A. Nelson QIaine), over an
attack made by Fisher on the Chi
cago police department that Nelson
rushed from the committee room.
Spectators at the hearing at
tempted to demonstrate and we're
quoted by police after Fisher
charged communists had been per
secuted and subjected to unjust and
cruel treatment" in Chicago.
He said the Civil Liberties League
was in no way connected with Com
munistic organiza tions, but that its
members sympathized with the
Communists for the ''inhumane
treatment they have many times
received from Chicago police"
Iron Man" John Alcock, acting
police commissioner, told the COM
mittee Communism is on the in-
crease here, but that the police
''have the situation we'll in hand"
Police Lieutenant Make Mills,
who supervises Chicago Communis-
tic activities, said he believed Com
munism presents no particular dan
ger to America.
Fisher is director of the Amalga-
mated Trust and Savings bank,
which he said carries several &C
