THAT ELLIS STREET HIGHWAY
 PLAN AGAIN

Constant rciteration of statement becomes poresome to a writer as well as a reader. unquestionably but there are times when the exigen- Cies of the situation demand repeti- ton and one of them, in our opinion, has arisen in New Britain. Some thing must be done to arouse the public from it's apathy toward the maneuvering of certain individuals and throw the decision of public act before the electorate as a whole to judge upon it's merits.
 Just now the point at issue is the construction of a highway running along Ellis street and thence easter ly to the Berlin Hartford turnpike at a point to be later determined. Mayor Quigley. on the surface is interested in such a plan and pre- sumably wishes it to go through. there are probably others who are backing him but who have not yet appeared
 Main thoroughfares for the grow ing automobile traffic are undoubt- edly necessary, some day it might be a good plan to extend Ellis street. but just at present there are other roads which it would be more 10 the point to pave. grade and convert into highways. The one upon which ac- tion should be taken. which has been projected for some time and winch would form an admirable diversion for traffic. is most distinctly the Cat Hole Pass road from the western part of the city south to Meridcn and Yalesville. Citizens of New Brit ain should make it apparent to the State Highway Commissioner that this is so. as he has been approach ed. at least once. by those interested in the other highway and. naturally, does not realize just what would be best for the city of New Britain, He Is probably anxious to please and would lend an attentive ear to argu- ments for the western highway, not Withstanding that those making them were not in the position of the Mayor of New Britain
 East from Maple street Ellis does not lend itself too we'll for highway purposes. There are several steep pitches which would prove expensive to grade There IS one bridge at present which would have to be re- built, the plan might call for more Beyond the Town Farm there IS no

BARBER FINED FOR :
 B0bbING PRESSES
Chinese Shippers Must Have
 Consent Of Husband i,

Shanghai, Sept LP - Chinese court authorities in this city have made it an offense for barber to cut a woman's hair without the con- sent or knowledge of her husband.
 The ruling was handed down at the conclusion of case brought be- for the Shanghai district court in which a barber was accused of caus~ ing a rupture between man and his wife by cutting the latter's hair.
 Pleaded With Husband
 The wife, it developed, had plead- ed with her husband on numerous occasions to let her follow the dic- tates of fashion and to have her locks shorn. stressing the discomfort of abundant hair in the summer. Tho husband resented the idea, condemn ing it as immodest
 While out shopping one morning. the wife chanced to look into the window of a barber shop. Another Of her sex was inside having her hair bobbed. The vision made her envious and throwing discretion to the winds. she hurriedly entered the place and within a short space of time was out again. minus her tres- ses.
 On arriving home her husband beat her for disobeying his orders. Her screams attracted the attention of the police and the irate male soon found himself standing before the district court judge on a charge of cruelty to his wife.
 Barber Fined S2
 Although he pleaded guilty to the charge of wife beating, he placed all the blame on the barber, who was accordingly arrested and brought be- fore the tribunal. Holding that the act of cutting a woman's hair was not illegal in itself but became so when it tended to upset the peace of family life, the tonsorial artist was fined s2.
 The barber protested on the grounds that the action was unjust. He didn't know the woman's hus- band had objected to her getting 8 haircut and besides if he did, what difference would it make and whose business was it anyway. The court re- piled that he had better make it his business in the future to find out whether Or not women who came to him for a haircut had first ob-
 The husband was fined s1 at the same session for beating his wife.

CAPTAIN ANDREE'S BODY IN
 PORT AT LAST

If more entrancing tale of ad- venture has been written across the pages of modern history than that of Captain Andree and his con- panions It would be difficult indeed 10 pick it out. Lindbergh gave us a thrill when he crossed the Atlantic, Byrd has appealed to the travel loving public with his trip to the Antarctic. the Graf Zeppelin wrote graphic story as it progressed across strange lands through the air At present a submarine is being groomed for trip under the ice to the vicinity of the North Pole. With the intrigue of all of them, however, the strange story of Andree is the most powerful. Fiction writers seem out of place in these days of romance based on fact.
 The body of Captain Andree has been brought into comparative civil ization after his whereabouts had been mystery for 33 years. The perpetual ice and snow had en- folded him and preserved him in his camp. where it is believed he had managed to live for some time after the free balloon in which he planned to cross the pole had come to earth. In his last abode was found what appears to be a record of the trip and the days spent on the ice It is frozen and must be carefully treat ed before the chance of opening it is taken. From this document will probably unfold a human interest story of the first magnitude.
 It appears foolhardy to the aver age person that group of men should attempt to float across the pole, from civilization on one side to civilization on another, in a free balloon. Usually the sphere that makes six or seven hundred miles in the international balloon races is declared the winner, the odds looked hopeless to float the several thou sand nerscSarv to cross the oole and reach a habitable spot on the other side. But the average person does not ken the mind of the explorer, the searcher after the bizarre on untracked courses. willing to risk his life for adventure and possibly science. even though the aforemen- tioned individual gets fascination in reading of the experiences of those who have had the adventures and lived to tell of them. or left written records behind as Andree pro- sunlably did.
 As the story unfolds into entirety as it probably will within a few weeks the trials of the gallant air. men will be followed through the press with much interest. When the log book is opened and read there will be much of fascination in it.

Waterbury, Sept. 2-William J. Pape. Waterbury publisher, candi- date for the nomination as comp troller on the Levitt ticket and John W. Jaeger, opponent of the regular republican town organiza- ton headed by Edward W. Goss, joined forces yesterday in filing duplicate anti organization tickets for the primaries to be held Thurs day The combined tickets have total of 42O names, 35 delegates and 35 alternates to each of the conven- tions.
 Explanation of the combination between the two anti-organization forces said that it came through the fact that MT Pape is interested only in the state aspects of the con- test, while Alderman Jaeger is in- terested chiefly in having Adam Cal Ian succeed former Senator Goss as town chairman

WAGES BY THE YEAR


 The suggestion of William Green, president of the American Fedora ton of Labor. that labor be hired by the year instead of by the day, will, if taken seriously in any industrial circles, stir up much argument, mainly in the method of applying the rule to factories everywhere. There may be some virtue in the proposal, there is virtue in many things that are impossible to apply.
 MT. Green believes that the yearly salary system would eliminate sea aonal unemployment and would compel manufacturers to cease over stocking with the consequent result ing slackness. Undoubtedly it would, but from an employers standpoint, the resultant confusion would be most disturbing. No manufacturer wishes to overstock any great amount. It costs money to maintain idle factories though they produce nothing, the manufacturers would far rather see their benches filled with material and their workers busy than be compelled to close the rooms and maintain the machinery, even seasonally The employer who can come the nearest to figuring a years demand and produce it over the greatest length of time is the one who makes money.
 Pay by the year will not disturb the law of supply and demand. If manufacturer had assumed yearly obligations slightly over a year ago, predicating his staff on the demand for goods that existed at that time. and committed himself to full years pay for the staff, he would have been busted now, very much so, the factory would be closed, there would be no pay forthcoming for those he had hired by the year-be- cause there was no place to get the money-and there would not even be occasional employment for smaller number of hands. We have always been of the opinion that it IS practically impossible to figure the law of supply and demand. that those who appear to have done so are just as lucky as they are intelll- gent
 Local industries made every effort. a short time ago, we are told, to keep their wheels turning at maxi mum so that their vorkmen might not be afflicted by reduced wages. They built up stocks in their storage rooms more than they should have been built up. But the inevitable was here and had to be faced, demand was lacking and the situation be- came such that they had to quit producing to a certain extent. Con- seuuently their labor went on short time or was let go. Presumably ln- dustrial money. put into materials, labor and overhead, had been spent to the point where it was not feasible to spend any more if the factories were ever to run again, Tn other words there was doubt of much more credit. Without money to fur rish a place to work, materials for work and guarantee of wages there can be no employment, Labor must 20 hand in hand with capital, it is selling it's toll to the manufacturer who. in turn. is selling tho result ot his investment combined with labor's toll to the general public There can be labor without capital, there can be no capital earning money, with out labor And the commitment of yearly wages would involve d tre- mendous amount of capital, with ar enormous risk,

New York, Sept. 2.-To my mo- tion the fascinating hour along Broadway is between 6:30 and 7:30 1T, the evening. It is the period when the street throws off its mask and becomes humanized. Sight seers disappear and Broadway is left to it's griftcrs, it's denizens.
 Bright eyed girls with that strain eo vivacity eddy into doorways to whisper amorously to hawk-nosed, pimply youths who affect airplane wing shoulders and yawnin bore dom. Actors with police dogs and chorus girls with Pekes and Pomps drift from side street rooming houses.
 Jobless musicians with flowing ties group along curbs awaiting the break. Taxi drivers sink in their seats to peruse the morning tab loids. Gold roped doormen drift across sidewalks to movie ticket cages and chat with the unsmiling blondes inside.
 The Aux of life congeals. Ladies about town drop artifices and talk to people they know without usual guile. They are conscious of that economic complexity of their lives the struggle to live and support their men, too. Orange juice jerkers relax and swap nifties.
