COCACOLA and SANITARY OUTFIT
MFIRSTPLACE TIE; HEALTHERS WON
CHAMPIONSHIP OF SOCIAL
LEAGUES FIRST-HALF TO
BE DECIDED BEFORE END
OF WEEK

Sanitary Department and Coca
Cola are now tied for first place
in the Social Diamondball League
race for first-half honors. The
Healthers eked out a 2 to / VIC
tory over the Soda Waters boys
yesterday afternoon at Bayview
Park to accomplish this feat.
And still the championship of
this half remains undecided. How
ever, before the end of the week
the leading team will be known as
there are only two more games to
be played. This aftrnoon Sanitary
Department will meet Administra-
ton and tomorrow the Beverage
club will cross bats with the Of
flee boys. The only way a play
off will result, is If both leading
aggregations win their game. Ad-
ministration is a strong nine and
may upset the dope bucket.

A triple play was accomplished
by the vlctors.
1t was one of the best games
played at Bayview Park this sea-
son, probably equalling that game
put on by a picked team and the
Miami All-Stars.
Two errors and two hits gave
Sanitary Department their runs in
the seventh frame.
Lopez was the dominant player
in the triple killing. He caught a
line drive, touched second and
threw to first to complete the
play.
j. Villareal hit two safely in
three times at bat.
William Gates, of the losers,
handled eight chances without an
error.
Only eight hits were made by
both teams and just three runs
scored. Each outfit committed
two errors.
Coca-Cola started off right but
were held scoreless from the first
inning on. In their half of the
initial canto, the Soda Water boys
put over their lone run in this man.

The one-chamber legislature has been
suggested for Ohio since that system was
adopted in Nebraska. Bar association
groups are studying the arguments for
and against it. They will make recon-
mendations for such legislation later on
if their findings are favorable. Advo-
Gates Of such legislature believe that it
would be more efficient than the two
chamber body. Members would be elected
on the basis Of population. There would
be fewer of them than in a house and
senate combination.
Opponents point out that, in state
like Ohio, with number of large in
dustrial cities, it would shift control
from the rural communities to the urban.
That, of course, would be all right with
the cities, but it would make no hit with
the farming areas. State business in
Ohio, or in any state where there are
strong antagonisms between the rural
and urban citizens, would be much better
handled If these groups would just accept
tha fact that their welfare in the long

One Of the jobs tackled by F. H. La
Guardia when he became mayor Of New
York city was the reduction Of unneces-
sary street noises. Lately there have been
complaints that the effort accomplished
nothing and had even been abandoned
Now Mayor La Guardia declares that the
anti-noise ordinance of last April and the
campo On started then "were not intended
to b. a 'nine-day wonder" They were
sir 3rely meant; noise-abatement is still
a duty of police officers.
Perhaps one reason for the failure Of the
campaign so far is that 1t was added to the
tasks of an already busy police force. Pop
ular education, If it were effective, would
approach the problem constructively, re-
quiring police action only for few fla
grant offenses.
No modern city can be absolutely silent.
Probably no one would want 1t to be.
The hum of many people and much activ.
ity is pleansantly exciting. But there Is
every reason to teach people to avoid I'M
necessary noises auto horn honking,
shouting, blaring radios heard far beyond
the room or the car in which they are
located. The unnecessary noises are the
ones that put the last extra strain on
the human nervous system and cause
trouble.

Fill so Per Cent of Them

Victor F. Ridder Of New York, who
resigned his post as WPA administrator
Of New York City on August |, thinks
somewhat along the lines Of local off,
Gals. You may recall that earlier this
week Controller Daniel ]. Leary IN let
ter to the Board Of Finance showed that
the city would not have any funds Tor
WPA work during the last six months OF
the year. It was also proposed That
conference of city officials and industrial
leaders Of the city be held with the pur-
pose Of having industry gradually absorb
the remaining WPA workers In Water
bury.
Well, that's just what Mr.. Bidder would
have done in New York city, too. And he
claims that 1t won't be hard for industry
to do 1t, nor will 1t impose any burden
on industry. His claim Is that If shops
will take only so per cent WPA workers
of their total reemployed help the WPA
slack would be taken up in year. Here
Is what he says, 1T may seem wild, or at
least a bold statement, but call 1t what
you will, facts will bear out the accuracy
Of the statement: If employers in filling
openings In personnel rolls would use
WPA workers to fill so per cent Of these
jobs the WPA would be liquidated in
ten-month period. 80"
In New York City there are close to
100000 WPA workers right now and the
turnover in jobs annually is about $780,
900. Evidently Waterbury is on the right
track then in urging that its industrial
leaders adopt a somewhat similar course
Of action. The results should be appar-
ent long before this time next year, We
don't think that the election, one way
or the other, will have any effect on bet
ter business conditions They'll continue
to improve. All that remains is to cut
relief costs and that is best accomplished
by putting relief workers on factory and
business house payrollS.

sPOILs SYSTEM OF GOVERN
MENT ATTACKED BY MINT
SYSTEM hackers

August 9, 1896.
Editor, The Waterbury Democrat
Waterbury, Conn.
Dear Slr:-The Connecticut Merit
System association Is carrying on O
campaign for the adoption OF such
u system for Connecticut IN the
state, county and city governments.
An extraordinary interest In the re-
form Of the civil service has been
shown throughout the country, and
the national parties have responded
by making more explicit promises In
regard to the reform Of the national
civil service than ever before. There
Is q tremendous majority against
the spoils system and the rotten
politics that has Its root In that sys-
tenn. Yet there Is o surprising ig-
norance as to the root Of the trou-
BILE and the remedy for 1t. There
Is, for instance, no realization OF
the fact that the spells system In
our states and cities Is vastly more
important and vastly more corrupt
ing than that in the nation.
We are planning to carry on this
campaign throughout the fall, and
to aim at the best possible legisla-
ton In the next legislative session.
We are appealing to good citizens
throughout the state TO get our lit
erature setting forth the facts brief
ly, to attend meetings, to sign cards
expressing their belief In the merit
system, and to contribute what they
can afford toward the expense OF the
campaign.
The interest shown in this gen.
eral subject proves that this Is the
time TO strike. With both OF the
national parties pledged to a thor
ough. going reform, a Connecticut
politician who opposes the reform
In state or city cuts q ridiculous
figure.

The state can pay its respects to Edison
A. Perkins of Torrington today, for Mr..
Perkins has Just been termed the safest
Of the safe drivers" in Connecticut. His
record Of more than 100000 miles driven
In 80 years of operating motor vehicles
will hardly be equslled, let alone ques-
toned. His nearest rival for state honorS
was Harold r. Whitney, Bridgeport
manufacturer, whose record was 100000
miles In 80 years. Both showed very
spotlcsS records so far as accidents ana
law violations are concerned.
Comforting titles of safe driving on men
and women may not do an awful lot in
q material sense for fewer accidents on
our highways, but 1t should set lot OF
people to thinking. Here are two men,
one n years of age, the other So, who
have been driving over thirty years and
vet have managed in that time to escape
niShap If they can, why can't hun
dreds Of others do the same thing, Hun
dredS could If they would simply make up
their mind that they are going to be the
safest drivers on the roads.
There Is q, lot to safe driving. It in
wolves on the part Of the operator GER
tain amount Of skill, of course. 1t also
demands things of the car It should be
mechanically perfect or nearly so to meet
the sudden demands for brakes or accel-
Grafton. The driver must be mentally
alert for the emergency and when 1t does
come must know what to do and when to
do 1t. knowledge of motor laws is also
required, so that heedlesSly you may not
disobey. All these things and perhaps
many more go to make up safe driver,
one who will neither MAIN nor kill nor
cause others to be responsible for
accidents.

Before Waterbury can get branch
office of the Federal Social Security
Board or any appointees to the state
office of manager be named, 1t is abso-
lutely necessary that Connecticut draw
up a law on unemployment insurance
that will suit Uncle Sam and not conflict
with the federal laws along this line. Con-
necticut legislators knew this in 1885 and
were even warned about making an effort
to work hand in hand with the federal
government, but all to no avail. In order
that W may share in the taxes that the
federal government starts collecting at
the end Of 1885, we have to possess law
that meets federal approval. Then and
only then can 80 per cent of the federal
taxes collected on payrolls be allocated to
this state. In the event state hasn't
an acceptable social security law the
federal government takes the entire pay
roll tax. 1t behooves our legislators to
remember that at all times this fall when
they meet In special session.

BRIDGEPORT TELEGRAM

10 motorists must face the Westport
court this week for passing stop
signs.
Bridgeport has had occasional
drives OF the same kind. An obserV.
ance Of the actual behavior Of mo
florists OF corners marked by stor
signs proved that very few come to
an actual halt unless there Is traf-
fic In the way. Some motorists vio-
late both the spirit and the letter
OF the law by rolling right through
the stop signs as Il they were not
there. The great majority slow down
and proceed Cautiously until they
are entering and then, II not tatgh
can get O clear view Of the street
they ore entering and then, II no
trafIlc Is approaching, 90 ahead. II
traffic Is approaching they stop.
But II should be noticed that O
great many OF the "Stop" marks IN
Bridgeport, Fairfield and Westport
are 80 placed that O motoriSt who
obeys the signs literally will not be
able to look UP or down the street.
He must move forward to be able
TO see. The temptation under those
circumstances TO keep on rolling Is
almost Irresistible. Most Of these
signs, II obyed literally would re-
quire two stops; one to fulfill the
more or less arbitrary function Of
the sign and @ second stop to give
way to approaching traffic after the
motorist had gone far enough TO see
whether any traftic was coming.
We wonder whether the right pro-
cedure would not DO to regulate
these signs to the prevailing prac-
tice, that Is to insist thatemotorists
entering though street proceed
slowly and cautiously, and Yield the
right of way TO any traffic on the
main line, without too much in.
