Cross-Over Wanted
 At Buckley's Store
Connecticut Company to Petition Public Utilities Conl=
 mission SOOn-Place Inspected Yesterday

Naugatuck, Sept. 24 - The Con- necticut Company will soon apply to the public utilities commission of the state to place 8 cross-over at a point near Buckley's store on South Main street, this being 8 move to- ward discontinuation of trolleys go- ing any farther north to Webber's corner in Union City.
 This was learned today from Warden John J. Sheridan after Charles Chapman, Connecticut Company official, visited here yes- terday and inspected the place for the crossover. It means that if the public utilities commission sanctions | it, trolleys from New Haven will only come as far north as Buckley's corner, not crossing Maple street at Main and will turn there to go south again.
 Some months ago the warden asked that trolley service from Maple street to Weber's corner be discontinued as long as busses now cover that route. He said the care of the road near the tracks cost the town considerable each year and the town will save money by the action.
 The Connecticut Company plans to cover over the tracks and fix the section in their vicinity, the warden said today. It is expected the com- mission will grant permission for the cutover. This will mean that Union City residents can take a bus to Maple street and then can take 8 trolley if they want to go south. It will probably mean that passengers must get the trolley at the south side of Maple street in- stead of on the north side as they i do now.

WHAT ARE THE PEOPLE
TO DO ABOUT CRIME?

Crime and criminal tendency is on
the increase. We might as we'll acknowl-
edge it and stop fooling ourselves. For
this, every taxpayer is paying heavily
and the cost will mount and mount as
time goes on. The power to stop it and
at the same time reduce the amount we
pay each year for law enforcement
agencies is entirely within the hands of
the public, but it lies unused.
At one time, prohibition was pre-
scribed as the way to a crimeless world.
In practice it only stimulated law
breakers, and was repealed with the
belief that the gangsterism and racket
eering set up by illegal alcohol rings
would be eliminated. We believed that
our jails and penitentiaries would emp
ty themselves and that American life
would settle down to a quiet law abid-
ing level. This, also, proved hollow
dream. Crime in all its phases continues
to grow and thrive, in spite of the count
less thousands of peace officers through
out every village, town, city and county
in all the forty-eight states.
Why is such an army unsuccessful in
beating back criminal tendencies? This
army costs taxpayers huge sums an
nually and yet-arrests climb and climb
1t even is to a point now where the ma
t1Onal government tine only one to stop
kidnaping) asks for hundreds of addi-
tional detectives for its various enforce
ment branches, and an institute in which
to train prosecuting attorneys to con-
Wet those whom officers arrest.
Why?
The home as a training institute is
failing of its purpose.
The leading citizens of crime-breed-
ing communities are disregarding the
harlotry, gambling, and invested spots
right before their own eyes within their
communities.
Police departments are too much in
politics and too little in the perfection
of their profession as is the case with
the Federal Bureau of Investigation with
its result-getting G-Men.
The public is too unconcerned with
what is before its very eyes. 1t is too
busy to realize that it can reduce its
cost of government by stopping such
Haunting of the rules of good govern
ment.
When the public acts, crime will de-
crease and the cost of government will
drop.

BY LESLIE EICHEL
Central Press Staff Writer

HOT SPRINGS, Ark.,-It is wise
for present-day observers to take
two or three weeks off and TO
turn to the works of thinkers of
other days. There is little new
under the sun.
This writer, being near the ma
tive habitat of Mark Twain, pick
ed up a volume of his "a Con-
necticut Yankee in King Arthur's
Court. This classic story is pre-
sumed to be looking back 1851
years from 1879-57 years ago. In
reality, as is the way of genius,
it locks forward, even far beyond
1886. The leading character, tran
sported back 600 years, is a pro-
phet, who, if he remained in his
own century, undoubtedly would
have been stoned to death.
Mark Twain Samuel Clemens),
in laping ridicule on the manners
and the injusticeS of King Ar
thurs time, the sixth century, was
drawing an indictment of our own
crude manners of today. 1t was
not without deliberate design that
Mark Twain drew the characters
of King Arthur's day as persons
who could not possibly recognize
their own crudities. The great
heroes of the age remained great
heroes for centuries to come.
But, without a word of condem-
nation, Mark Twain has us looking
back on them in disgust. They

MORGAN F0RGETS
THE PASSING YEARS

J. P. Morgan, chief of the House of
Morgan, forgetS that Americans who
waved flags and shouted martial songs
in 1916 have been sobered by the passing
of the years. The war fever is no longer
in their blood. Only the tragedy that fol-
lows war is left to many of them. To
Others-J. P. Morgan among them-are
left the profits that come with war.
That may be why Morgan stubbornly
blames German insults and not Amer
lean loans to allied nations for entry of
the United States into the great conflict.
FinancierS, who described Germany
as the enemy long before the United
States had any intention of entering the
war, poured their money into European
Golfers. 1t came back to them with blood
stained profits. The United States, Off
cially, poured its money into European
Golfers. 1t has not come back at all, eX-
cept from Finland.
1t Is a sad commentary on modern
civilization that one nation should go to
war trumpeting the "cause of human
ity," and that underlying the purported
cause of humanity should be the gold
loaned to belligerent nations. In 1916,
Americans believed they were going into
battle because of German insults to
their country Now a majority of them
know, in spite of Mr. Morgan's testi-
mony before a senate committee, that
they went to war so the financiers, large
among them the House of Morgan could
be sure the allied nations would be able
to pay their debts to the financiers.
German insults! The insult was
largely the threat that there might be
money lost to the millionaires who had
invested heavily in the allied cause.
They don't gamble, either in Wall street
or war, and it was no gamble that sent
America into the World War
When the Lusitania was torpedoed
by German U-boat, Americans were
told that she carried neutral passengers,
that her sinking was a wanton violation
of neutrality laws and an inhuman thing
out of all civilized bounds. Years later
so we'll was it covered up-sworn testi-
mony and official records disclosed that
the Lusitania put to sea with a heavy
load of munitions destined for use
against the Germans. That was one Ger
man insult to American neutrality.
No, Mr.. Morgan, America cannot be-
lieve that the financiers desired peace
above all else, and that they worked for
peace by attempting to keep America
out of the war.

When South dealt and passed.
both sides were vulnerable Deal
er's side had no score toward Sec
ond game. East and West had 60
points toward game. Bidding went:
West, 1-No Trump; North, q
Hearts; East, doubled the call,
chiefly to show three stops to the
adverse suit; had hearts been a
little weaker and clubs not so
weak East would have bid 2-No
Trumps. instead of allowing part
ner to decide upon the final call;
West, passed, satisfied to collect a
penalty and retain his advantage
of a part game score.

either by Ace or K, without the
touching high honor. Very properly
East led the 10 of spades. His heart
holding and his partners opening
no trump call showed that West
must hold honors in spades, dia-
monds and clubs. North lost two
spade tricks to the 10 and 9, then
ne ruffed the K of spades.
Declarer was trapped, and he
knew it, his whole aim was to es-
cape with as small loss as possible.
Easts 10 of diamonds won the lead
of North's 8. East led his lowest
club. North's Ace won over Vests
J. Declarer led back the 8 of clubs
and West was in with his @. He
led the good @ of spades, and was
allowed to take the trick. North
discarded the J of diamonds. West
took his last club trick, then the
8 of diamonds gave declarer his
third trick, with his Ace of dia-
monds. Defenders had won Just
twice as many tricks as declarer.
The four cards held by each of
the four players were as shown be-
low, with North TO lead. How is
North to avoid giving defenders 2
of the 4 tricks to be played?

RESEARCH
(Ornard Courier

An enterprising student at the Uni
versity of Wisconsin has discovered, so
he claims, that co-eds in that institution
use enough lipstick year to paint -four
good-sized barns" He made his dis
covery by practical experiment and
mathematical computation.
First he induced a number of goods
to press their lipstick-tinted lips to
graph paper. Then he found the aver
age lip coverage That was :33 square
inch. He found that the girls applied
lipstick with an average frequency OF
30 times a week. He knew already the
number of weeks in the year. He prob
ably consulted farmers, barn-painters
or paint concerns about the dimensions
of the average barn. So, after certain
amount of necessary multiplying he got
his answer-the four good-sized barns.
This is an example of education by
the project method. If that lad puts the
same amount of determination, persis-
tence and energy into mastering all his
college courses, he'll get somewhere.

IN RETROSPECT
When Mark Twain has got
one into that mood he deity begins
to imply that the future, our des-
cendantS, looking back merely a
few centuries on us, will eXclaim
with even greater vehemence,
could those crude and unjust
people have been our ancestors?"
1t is when the great humorist-
humanist implies that our own
age is no jot less crude than King
Arthur's in its attempt to achieve
a design for living that he be-
comes bitter and biting. There
merely have been refinementS and
comforts gained
Back in King Arthurs day, so
that a few could be the fountain
heads of her0ism, the entire mass
of people was kept submerged by
state and church. And Supersti-
ton, not reason nor justice, ruled.
And, because the people were
blinded by the flashy rigmarole of
state and church, they were CEN
turie slate in gaining the light.
Mark Twain was none too optirnis-
tic that the people had seen much
of the light even by 1879. The peo-
pie were, in fact, entering a new
sort of mystic serfdom, with many
of the shibboleths of the ancient
superstitionS-eco Serfdom.
