Polo Ball Last Night
Boosted Distinguished Guests.
In the "wee small hours" of the
morning a distinguished veteran of the
World War made his way back to his
home at Fort Myer after attending the
polo ball last evening in the ball room
of the Willard Hotel. Long after the
last guest had left the ball room,
Hunter, the 19-year-old polo pony, who
was undoubtedly the belle" of the ball,
was cantering back to the Army post,
taking with him the sergeant who was
his special escort at the party. Every
inch the aristocrat of his kind, Hunter,
the first to arrive at the gay dancing
party, stood in his stall at the
south end of the ball room and re-
ceived the admiration and attention
with a somewhat bored manner, his
interests being reused by some thought
full adnnirer who brought his sugar.
Perhaps one Of the most interested in
the famous old horse in the feminine
contingent last evening was Mrs. Will
liam Jeffries Chewing, jr., formerly
Miss Margo Couzens, daughter of Sena-
tor and Mrs. James Couzens. One
rarely sees the former Mango Couzens
without horse in the background, and

kid gloves and slippers to match her
frock, the skilled equeStrienne seemed

SMOOTH HIGHWAYS, MANY
 ACCIDENTS

Few accidents occur along dirt roads. Traffic along these so-called highways is light and the chance for accidents correspondingly re- duced.
 It is along the smooth modern roads that accidents are frequent; and at intersections of such high ways they are most numerous,
 Also, they are most numerous when traffic is heaviest.
 The analysis, then, shows that what ails the smooth highways is not the fact that they induce reck- less driving. but the fact that they are comparatively so few in num- Der that too many cars are attracted to them, while the unimproved roads are consistently avoided by the average driver.
 If every road in the state were a good" highway traffic would be more diversified and the danger of accidents lessened accordingly.

URGING THE, VETO

Perhaps it is something of sur prise to many that John E. Edger- ton, president Of the National As sociation Of Manufacturers, should urge upon President Hoover to veto the Smoot- Hawley tariff bill
 The general impression has been that on the whole the manufacturers bill except in the case of some schedules. As Senator Walcott said the other day. it is the best bill that could be expected for industry in general, particularly Connecticut in dustry, considering the pressure eX for rates that would "equalize' the rates between farming and industry. Many Republican editors, includ- ing some in Connecticut, have ap- plauded the action of the Senate 1T. switching authority over the fleX- ible provision of the tariff schedules from the President to Congress. But it is upon this very point that the manufacturers president objects The manufacturers, probably for q reason good enough for themselves, 1 prefer to have the flexible power continue to remain in the hands ol | the President-especially when the l President happens to be a Eepubh- can.

THE BARTLETT-QUIGLEY
 DEBATE,

The political debate under way be- has had its interesting points Mir. Quigley had pointed with pride 10 his past administrations. and now finds that MT. Bartlett points to thenl but not with pride.
 The candidates are getting deep CT into an argument that so far has found Mr. Bartlett DO mean con- tender. Citing the tax rate increase between certain years when Mir. Quigley was Mayor was a neat thrust by MT. Bartlett, and the claim that MT. Quigley's plumbing code was eventually thrown out and another code substituted was quite a telling stroke.
 Now one wonders what MT Quig- ley is going to do about the discus sion. As we have heretofore stated when a man who has been Mayor refers too much to his record he is running the risk of being on the defensive. No man can be Mayor without making at least some mis- takes and creating some enemies Mcssrs. Bartlett and McDonough not having been Mayor, really have some advantages.

CENSUS QCERYING

Of the 4 questions the census takers intend to ask, there is one that is difficult to understand. Everybody, or every family, will be asked whether he or it owns a radio set
 If it is desirable to determine how many radio sets there are in use, why not include the number Of pianos in use, of the number of fid- dies, comets or saXophones?
 Or. to bring the matter right up to date. why doesn't the Government include questions as to who owns an electric refrigerator, an electric washing machine, an electric ironing machine, or electric heaters. Surely l this would be of moment to the great power industry.
 Or why not include census of what kind of heating is in use in 1 homes. whether hot air, hot water or steam. That surely would be an | advantage to the radiator industry.
 And there is the question, or | questions, whether a person owns he pays rent. and if the latter, how much he pays. This is expected to indicate economic status and buying power.
 We don't think it indicates any thing of the kind. In the first place "ownlng'' the roof above ones head may merely mean owning an equity in it, which includes the ownership Of mortgages requiring years 10 pay off; and m these modern days oi apartment living some of oul wealthicst potentates pay rent, ds for instance along Park avenue ir New York and elsewhere in that city and others There is a possibility too, that the renter exhibits moIe ( buying power in the general markets than the home equity owner.

JHC FIRST STEAMBOAT

Every achoolchild learns by word Of mouth and from the books that Robert Fulton invented the steam boat. and that the trip of the Cler- mont between New York and AL bany in l7S9 was the first made by the newfangled method of sailing without sails.
 But what about Lieutenant Jorn Fitch, born in South Windsor, Conn, who also built stcamboats when they were new?
 The history books need revision on the pages devoted to the first steamboat. Some Of them arc said not 10 contain word about Mir. Fitch.
 Yet in 1927 Congress authorized the erection of sl5,00o monum .nt 10 Fitch at Bardstown, Ky.

RUSHING THE BRIDGE

The New Haven railroad, it's en- sineers busy upon blueprints for numerous improvements, has an- nounced that everything is in readi- ness to make an early start upon the construction of a new Black Rock bridge-a name which dates from the time when there was a large rock. presumably a black one, at Black Rock avenue and West Main street, and from which the present structure got it's name although the bridge is on West Main street.
 This will be the last improvement of the Paonessa administration, and it will be one by which it will be remembered by many citizens who will forget some of it's other achievements.
 tageous deal with the railroad re. garding sharing the costs. and the result will be one well worth while. The present unsightly structure. lacking in every requirement Of q modern span, and being by no means of a type necessary along such an important artery of traffic. will soon be a thing of the past When tn, new bridge is completed citizens Of New Britain will have one less thing 10 apologize for to strangers.

THE CHOP SUEY FAMINE,

The city, it appears, will not sui fer greatly from the prevailing chon suey famine. Had there been a huge demand for chow mein and the other Oriental dishes Frank LcunG, for years proprietor of New Britains "one and only' Chinese restaurant would not have quietly folded his tents and gone away.
 Yet there is something about this departure which slams the city, and we contemplate it with pain, A metropolitan center, such as New Britain has been developing into usually has some of the garish con- comitants that belong to mctropoli. tan ccntcrs. We have had night clubs after fashion, and We have had this Chinese restaurant for years; but now there is nothing left downtown o'nishts except regular restaurants, movie signs. and sho" windows.

then, for historians to regard Full tons craft as the first?
 Perhaps it needs to be explained that in those days as now what hap pened in New York got more pub- licity than what happened else where. Or possibly the New Workers of those days, like the New Workers of today, were more aggressive in playing on the verbal trumpet. Hence while the staid Philadel- phians were merely talking about the Fitch craft in their coffee houses, the New Workers sent forth huzza that could be heard around the world when Fulton started his steamboat. As usual, the New York CTS thought they were first in the field. They often make that mistake even in the present day.
 The New Workers, in other words, were better advertisers. While the Philadelphians hid their light be- hind a bushel the New Workers threw the bushel overheard and permitted their light to shine out in the open, where even the his- torians of the time could see it.
 The Connecticut Yankee-meaning MT. Fitch-received his first public recognition in 1877, but it was re- luctantly given and attracted little attention. A committee of the New York Legislature at that time, call ed upon to decide which steamboat was the first in the field, declared 1 that Fulton's boat was practically 1 the same sort Of contra ption that Fitch later patented. But by that time the historians had written their laudatory pages and other his torians since that time rewrote what the earlier craftsmen had stated.
 Hartford is to have national "F'itch Fete' in 1885, designed to wrest the steamboat honors from the memory of Fulton and invest | them upon the memory of Fitch. The post office department will be asked to issue a special stamp for the occasion, and great hullabaloo is to be made in favor of Fitch. An attempt, too, is 10 be made 10 put his name in the Hall of Fame, where Fulton's name already reposes.
 If all of this happens as planned even the historians may become aware that Fitch really lived, that he invented a steamboat before Fulton did, and that it really work ed.

the native restaurants a terrible run for the dollars, and invariably win ming out. How they do it is self-evi- dent to the observers of the thea trical and amusement publications who keep tab on such things. They do it by adopting American methods, by operating American restaurants, with orchestras, danc- ing floors and American food, as we'll as Chinese food.
 It strikes us that Mr. LeunS has merely gone to New York upon a research trip. When he thoroughly inundates himself with the new mode of operating Chinese restau- rants he may be back; or some other adept Oriental may return in his place
