People who have followed the amaz-
ing business romance of Majestic
radio since it was first introduced
three years ago at price that was
then approximately half the cost of
quality radio equipment, will see in
the new Majestic refrigerator a par
al!el for the success of the Majestic
radio. The Majestic electric refriger-
ator is not intended to be low price
product. 1t was built with the inten-
ton of producing the finest electric
refrigerator on the market. Whenyou
sec it you will agree that this objec.
tive has been accomplished.

X THREE-POWER PACT

1 Out Of a web of conflicting inter- ests at the London conference it ap- pears that the main achievement will be a three power pact between the United States, Britain and Japan. ! France and Italy are left out Of the reckoning until they can agree upon parity among themselves.
 A three-power pact is something, but not as much as we'll wishers of he conference had hoped for. It's weakness lies in that the limitation of the pact will necessarily be predi- cated upon the size of the French and Italian navies.
 Should France and Italy fail to manage an agreement, and they should construct more ships thar. England would care to see con- structed by continental nations. the limitation" governing the ratios ol the three power pact would go up instead of down.
 France with her perpetual securl- ty bleats. and Italy with her equally consistent aspira tions for place in the sun are the prime menaccs against an rderly arrangement O. naval power along lines of the peace pacts which all of the nations Nlr- tuously signed.

mobiles twice as much, 10,000,000 instead of 5,000,0O0 cars would be runed every year. This would give employment to twice as many people in the automobile industry, would double the size of the oil industry would double the size of the ball bearing industry, would double the wear-and-tear on highways, and probably would stimulate the con. struction of twice as many improv- ed roads.
 Or perhaps, the demand for cars being doubled, and the mass pro- duction of cars being doubled, the price would be considerably re- duced.
 The thesis of the industrial en- sineer at least has vast possibilities. On general principles we share the hope of all mankind for less work and more pay. But heretofore that has been only a bromide of thought. If MT. Hatch can show the world where he can provide this step to- ward the millennium we'll vote for him if he ever runs for President,

This Strange Silence Marks
 Exit of Viewers With Alarm

What, may we ask, has become of the perspiring person whose hair turned gray as he worried at the sight of the Young Generation danc- ing dizzily near the brink of the abyss of shame? Where has that person and all his brothers and sis ters,- who warned and eXhorted against the inclinations of Youth, gone? What has happened to that popular game of Viewing with Alarm the Tendencies of Flippant Adolescence?
 Quietly, and without advance mo- tice, the Society of the Perpen- which issued tremolo sobs that the boys and girls were not nice any more, have disbanded. An air that not long ago was electric with the lightning of the reproaches, has be- come strangely calm. Whether they tired of the game or decided that the young folks were beyond sav ing is not known because contact between their broadcasting stations and the general public has been broken. They have vanished into a wilderness of words.
 Not for many months has one ot the warmers broken into print Search the news columns and you will hunt in vain for their names. Flaming Youth has progressed along paths in spite of the fulmina- tions of the custodians of the peo- ple's morals. And the uproar has been replaced by silence. Perhaps after all, ranting has ceased to be fashionable.

EXTRA FARE TRAINS

Extra fare trains are receiving the attention of the Interstate Copl- mcrce Commission. Just after the New Haven railroad put the speedy Yankee Clipper" in service between Boston and New York. the new field of inquiry by the l, C. C. is indeed thought provoking.
 Extra fare trains are a com- para lively modern invention, an afterthoueht after speedy trains were established. For instance. when the Empire State Express on the New York Central was first estab- lishcd, and locomotive No. 999 be- came world famous there was no thought ol charging en extra fare 10 ride on the train. which made the run between New York and Buffalo in eight hours.

SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

A chef in Stamford, who suffered a tragedy in his family, told police lie had peen discharged when his employers learned he was married on the score that married man would take home food to his family. That, we take it, is q new wrinkle in economies, On that basis a bank would not employ d married man because he might take money home to his family, or a merchant would not employ mar ried man because he might take goods home to his better half.
 If the chefs story i5 true-and we haven't seen it denied-then 1t illustrates | remarkable lack Of social responsibility among employ CTS such as those against whom he directs his complaint. Fortunately they are rare.

MIR. QUIGLEY AND SCHOOLS

Some years ago, when there was discussion regarding the construction Of new school buildings, Mr. Quig- ley declared the construction o: such large institutions as the Lincoln school, the Roosevelt school, the Vance school. etc. was a mistake.
 According to Mir, Quigleys notion, the schools should not be construct ed so large, but instead two or three smaller buildings should take the place of each larger building, In this way, he thought, school buildings could be scattered and children would not have far to travel, and the plethora of small buildings might be more economi- cal.
 The argument. of course, did not make much of an impression. The new buildings arc source of pride to the city, and the only regret is that the remaining inferior school buildings cannot be displaced with such modern structures.

THE PAST AS AN ISSUE

Every political campaign has "ex- igencies.' That means things happen and statements may be made that were not contemplated. The plans made by mice and men go awry, the selected issues fall aside, and new thoughts have the call.
 In the running verbal duel be- tween the major candidates in this city something of this sort has hap pened. Mr. McDonough started ou: by announcing that he would nlane q real issue of the water situation. But Mr. Quisley, fondly viewing his cherished record. saw nothing Of water in it and preferred to talk about the record, incidentally prom ising the inevitable campaign tax reduction.
 Which caused Mr, McDonough to become more interested in Mr. Quiglcys record than he was a few weeks ago. Being a lawyer. he can comprehend all that is in a record. With municipal history in the form of records before him, he glecfully checked up on the precious record Of Mr. Quigley, noting it's manifest weak spots and calling attention to them in understandable language.
 Mr. Quigley, record and all, was speedily put on the defensive. When Mr. Quigley seized upon his record as a public issue he overlooked the fact that man, especially all energetic individual like Mir. Quig- ley, could not be Mayor three times without making some glaring mis- takes. Mir. Quisley ought to be sorry he did not look into the future mora and in the past less.

WATER, SEWERS. ETC.

The next Mayor and city adminis- tration will have more expensive propositions to consider and act upon than any city administration in the history of the city.
 The costs of the water extension system, and the new sewage disposal system that the state threatens to force the city to adopt, will run into the millions.
 The city is already fixed to issue bonds in bundles. The, borrowing capacity Of the city is sound. But bonds must be paid off. interest. must be paid meanwhile. and by the time, years hence, when the now water system and new sewerage sys- tenn are paid for they will have cost twice as much as the bond issue.
 Then there are minor" improve ments made necessary by the grow. ing suburbs. All or them arc clamor- ing for improvements, and they will not be denied
 In view of these momentous pos abilities, Mir. Quigley promises 10 reduce the tax rate. IL has been shown that he did not reduce the tax rate during his previous admin istrations, and at that time the city. instead of benig confronted with 6 vast public expense. was indulsing in "thrift' to help win the war.
 Public improvements during that period were strictly barred. The city did nothing 10 detract from the efficiency of the national effort + there ever was a time when th. city had chance to be eXception- ally economical and hold down the tax rate it was then,

being planned, there is plenty of quiet satisfaction and even pleasure

| being planned, there is plenty of l quiet satisfaction and even pleasure among those who live "over-the- | bridge" in the West End at the an- l ticipation of seeing work started on | the reconstruction of Black Rock bridge and it's approaches on both . sides.
 Satisfaction has been expressed by the male contingent in this little colony of third warders but the real joy is being felt by housewives and mothers whose babes are still in the stage where they must be taken for buggy rides on bright and sunshiny days.
 For years, the rough paths that led to the eyesore known as Black Rock bridge, have taxed the patience and long suffering of the women who have had occasion to pass there on their way to and from downtown. The sharp stones in the uneven and rough terrain that has substituted for sidewalks, have very often cut pain fully through thin-soled but fashion able shoes while the front and some ! times the rear axles of baby carriages and strollers have. many times been badly sprung in the work of pro- polling the. vehicles through the crushed stone and over the blanks that make up the present bridge.
 Unlucky the mother who, after a full morning of preparation, trundles her young hopeful down West Main street and approaches the bridge, with the child's raiments as white as the driven snow and it's cheeks brilliant from the apply cation of soap and water. Just when the middle of the bridge $ reached, many times has it hap the New Haven road has come along with black, sooty smoke shooting from it's smokestack and another heart was broken in grief and despair over the dirt that en- sued. Unfortunately the new bridge will not correct this condi- tion.
 The Bridge of sishs'' has been heard long and often in song and story and many pitfful tale has been told describing the hopeless passage over it's stony path but tn: Black Rock bridge might well be called New Britain's "bridge of des- pair" for the women who must crocs it Even now with the planS and specifications all drawn and the contract for a new bridge awarded, signs escape because the work hasn't actually been started.
 However, hope springs eternal and some sweet day, another bridge which will be at one time useful and beautiful.
