Signal Signs
 Very Expensive Two of the Four in Opera ton Here May Be Dis-
 continued

Two of the four electromatic sig nal lights in operation in Water bury may be discontinued when the city's lease with the company that owns them, expires. Their elim- ination is believed to be matter of necessity owing to the shortage of funds. They cost the city $100 per month each to operate. The four are located at the intersection of West Main street and Thomaston avenue, West Main street and Wa tertown avenue, Riverside and Freight streets, Highland avenue and Chase boulevard. The last two named are being considered for removal.
 Rotary traffic will be substituted for the electromatic lights, which operate by contact of car wheels against bumpers.

FORUM SPEAKER
 SEES IMPROVEMENT
Editor Willard Has Good
 Word to Say of New York
HITS AT RORABACK

Oswald Garrison Willard of Now Nation and formerly editor and owner of the New York Evening Post, spoke last night at the Sec ond Church Forum, declaring that the choice of the right officials IS of more importance that the type of a city's governmental machin- cry. He added that eternal vigil lance Is the price of good govern ment. The title of Mir Willard c talk was How Shall We Reform Our Cities?"
 MT Willard contrasted the New York city of today with that he knew as a boy. He said that de- spite all the speakeasies, the gum men and gangsters. public order in the metropolis has improved tre- mendously and that while a half century ago 1t was unsafe for a woman to be alone on the streets after dark, today she can go almost anywhere in the city unes- corted and escape being molested.
 However, the speaker added. New York city is still under Tam many's rule, just as it has been for 100 years. The evils of partisan ship in municipal affairs are in- tensified, he said, because the ma chine in corrupt cities is really bipartisan. He explained this by pointing out that in New York city the republican machine is con- tent to live on the plums let fall by Tammany and that the same IS true of the democratic machine in Philad delphia, where the republi- cans have control.
 MT Willard urged municipal ownership of utilities. However, he said, nothing can be done in Connecticut to break the political power of the Connecticut Light and Power Company land its charming president, MT J. Henry Roraback".

Rev MT Kingston
 Addressed Sunday Club

Members of the Sunday Noon club of the Second church were addressed yesterday at their regu- lar weekly meeting by Rev Ken- meth Kingston of St Pauls Method ist church. Religious Tolerance, Is itAa Virtue?" was the title of his talk. He said that religious tolerance is rather a bad tasting phrase because the word tolerance in connection with any religious subject brings to mind the days of the past when kings controlled the churches, allowing only cer- tain practices and beliefs.

He pointed out the im- portant part the Bible has played in the lives of great men, such as Abraham Lincoln.

JEFFERSON PIKE

John Stroupe, son of Mr.. and Mrs.

broken right leg just above the
knee Sunday night when the auto in
which he was riding collided with a
machine driven by John Bryan, of
South Vienna, at the IS" curve on
the London and jefferson pike, five
miles east of London.
Mr.. Stroupe was riding with Eu-
gene Brown and George CORY at
the time of the crash, the accident
being caused by the driver of the
South Vienna car becoming confused
at the curve and getting too far over
on the wrong side of the road, ac-
cording to the reports of the crash.
Mr. Brown and Mr.. CORY escaped
with minor injuries, Brown getting
severe gravel burn on the back
when he was dragged along the road.
No one in the other car was injured.
The Brown auto was considerably
damaged, but the Bryan machine was
not damaged. 1t was stated that Mr..
Bryan was on his way home from
the hospital with his wife and a
nurse.
Mr.. Stroupe was given medical aid
by DR.. w. A. Holman and taken to
Grant hospital, Columbus, where the
leg was set and placed in cast
