" FAIR COMI'ROMISI
The so-called railroiiil station of
'he New Haven railroad in New
Britain never cot such a blast of
ridicule and condemnation as that
given it liy tho joint committee of
the Common Council and the !
Chamber of Commerce. But along in I
the report the startled reader came !
upon these words: ;
"The commit tro seemed to be , ;
of an accord that an entire new
station really was needed, but !
felt that the repairs and im- ;
provements suggested would be 1
a fa iar compromise."
From this it Is to be inferred that !
the joint committee, perhaps de
spairing of inducing the New Haven j
railroad to build a new station In ;
this generation or even the next j
is of the opinion it is time to J
repair and paint up the present sta- j
tion.
In a sense this conclusion will bo
a disappointment to citizens who j
have been of tho opinion that noth- j
ing but a new station was worth
agitating for. True, all the agitation !
of the past has led to nothing. Of
ficials of the railroad have listened,
and that has been about all, "Plans ,
for a new station" have been as pro- :
lific as weeds along a public high- ;
way and have ranged all the way j
from a proposal to construct a new i
station tn the eastern section of the ,
city, at or near where the two
stems of the railroad join; the con- ,
structlon, of a first class city station
at or near New Britain Junction,
on the main line; or the construc
tion of a new station at or near the
present site in New Britain, On one
or two occasions officials of the rail
road have kindly accepted "plans,"
with the promise to "mako a report
later." But It takes the railroad a
long time to mako iis reports, es
pecially if it is unwilling to commit
Itself lo any plan of action that will
cost money.
The New Haven railroad can otter
no logical excuse lor permitting the ,
New Britain railroad station to get
in a class with rubbish heaps. In a
ense it is an insult to the city.
Jiven if there has been no intention
in the minds of railroad ollicials to
. build a new station here in years.
. there has been no reason for per
mitting a terminal in a city of 7'),
noO to degenerate in'o the most di
lapidate,) structure of the kind m
a cily of this size in New khigiand.
The railroad ougltt have had
sufficient pride in its properly not
o permit this degeneration.
The joint coninii'tee of the Coun
cil and the C. of C. has begun a
constructive move which if follow d
out will eliminate some of Ihc soin
aspects of Hie pf sent horrible ex
ample and nut be very costly. A
neat station, well painted and prop
uly arranged, uill at least be a
sterling improvement oer present
intolerable conditions.

The wreck on the Lackawanna
railroad yesterday was one of tho
, most ferious in the history of east
ern railroads during t lie last decade.
With Ihc safely first prfnciplo um-
, v dually accepted as the guiding of
railroad managcnn nt. it wax sup
posed that such disasters were a
thing of the past.
The sympathy of the public is
Inanity extended to the relative? of
those who so uiis rabiy perished In
the cauldron of steam and broken
steel in the New Jors y highlands.
It is always particularly sad when
an excursion party conies to grief
through the mischance of suh : in
this case, w In re ileal h was in so
many instances necumpamed by tor
ture the feeling or commiseration is
particularly manifest.
RAILROAD IH SSLS
"Decision of the New Haven rail
road to to into the motor bus busi
ness val rather unexpected in view
of ' previous . announcement pur
porting to Some from the railroad
and which was given wide currency
to lh eSect that officials of the line
had abandoned as too costiy the
plan to purchase fleet of motor
carriers. The first announcement,
bowever, cam when Mr. Bar do and
tnef managers still con
nected will) the railroad, while I he
now announcement tamo after they
had .severed their connection.
Tho motor bus plan of tho New
Haven closely follows that being
attempted by I he Hoaton & Maine,
which is attempting to scrap huif
lis mileage and operuto busses In
stead. But I lie New Hav en, not be.
In. overloaded with so miiny brunch
lines, apparently does nut iiiicnd to
do in in.-1 1 scrapping of existing rail
lilies, but cxpccls tho busses to per
form a subsidiary service between'
points now admittedly inadequately!
Served.
The New Haven also has gone i
into the gasoline-rail ear business j
unite extensively. these being com
monly termed' "rail -busses." In due j
time It is expected that one or lvvo
of these contraptions will take the
place of the present Tootlerville ,
steam service between the down
tuwn station In New l'.riinin and
New Britain Juiiclion.
- The New Haven appeals to be
experimenting with two typis of
"mil-busses," one driven by gaso- ,
line and the other by eh ct licit y.
The electric ruil-bus is said lo Lave,
an advantage over the gasoline-1
driven rail .bus in that It can be
operated upon any line iur any dis- j
tanee and at a speed m arly eiiul ;
lo a sleani train. It can be operated ;
from either end, which is not pos
sible with the gasoline rail-bus. The
latter can lie operated at about one- j
third t lie cost per mile of a steam
train, while the electric rail bus can
lie operated at one-third the cost of
a steam train. !
The operation of these, electric
rail-busses by the New Haven will ;
be an experiment of considerable j
importance In New England rail- '
reading. The plan is to use them on '
lines which have been affected by j
privately owned motor busses. Dur- j
ing the early morning rusli hours
the steam trains will be operated;
and after the rush hours are over, !
the electrics w-ill go Into service, In
the evening rush hours the steam
trains again will be used.. It would j
seem that the vicinity of New Brit
ain offers quite a field for "rail
busses." j
The adoption of motor busses for i
use upon the highways is even a !
more revolutionary undertaking. It '
means that the New Haven will at- j
tempt to continue Its monoply of j
southern New England transporla- i
tion through every method within ;
its power. In due time it. will be 1
operating motor busses, gasoline t
"rail-busses," steam trains and in-
directly the state's trolley system,
which it still owns but which is
operated through- tiustees and a
separate management. Whether thcj
New Haven's monopoly of tnmspor-;
tat ion, not now as complete us it
formerly via!. has been a benefit lo '
this tier of states is a matter ot p
opinion.
The New Haven's l"ss In pas
senger travel last year nmouuttd lo
S.:Mn.!MS passengers,. The railroad
Officials have every reason to be
alarmed, as the ioss continues
steadily. Their idea of more than
a par ago that increased commu
tation rates would be acceptable to
the public without reprisals was an
' adventure in folly. It appears loo
easy to purchase private aulonio
bii.s and thus circumvent Ihc
higher rates. The railroad, in a le-w
endeavor to woo back lost liallic,
has gone into the gasoline "rail
bus" business and is lo go imo Ihe;
motor bus business. The ! arnvd oi-,
tieials probably cannot be told any
thing. hut I he fael lemaiiis 1 ha! the

The Herald the oiher day carried
a story relating to the retirement
of George F. Henn from the em
ploy ot Itussell & Krvvin, alter hav
ing b'-en employed by this firm for
51 years. The record of Mr. Ilenn
was made more notable from the
fact that his father before him had
served the firm for 45 years. H Is
rare that latjier and son arc em
ployed by one firm for a combined
period of I'll years. In the case of
the younger Mr. Ilenn, he outlasted
every building' of (lie plant except
one, the news report stating that
when he entered tho employ ol the j
linn el years ago only tho present ;
foundry was standing.
New Britain has many employ
who h,rc been identified with local
industries lor from 2 3, to 50 xears. !
the list growing nolabiy smaller as
tin hali-ceniury mark is reached.!
Tb'-re may have been other fathers
and sons who have been employ d J
for a eoinhimd period of '" y-ars, .
but If so, memory dO'S not record!
the instances.
The Herald congra' ulat' s Mr.
Henn upon his long service in local
industry and is willing lo grant that ;
his retirement from active paitici- .
pan. -n in Hie tuturc industrial life
of the- city is well deserved. May he .
ctijuy the sunset ot life to the full.

What Is so rare as a night In June?
Then, If ever, do love-sick guys
Walk with their ladles beneath tho
moon,
Promising everything ncath the
skies.
That Is the way that It used to be
When your Pa bad his lovelorn
spoil.
Is that the sort of thing now you
see?
Not so you'd notice It, darling Nell!
Though the June nights are as rare
as then, '
Now the young people don't have
to walk;
They drive the car to some dale or
glen,
Petting inside, with occasional talk.
Yes, It's some step from the good
old nights,
Things pow are not as they used to
be;
Toung folks laugh at the slow-poke
wights
Making love under the apple tree.
It won't be long till
,June
Lovers will call with
chine,
on nights in
a flying ma-
Taking their sweeties up under the
moon,
Back of some clouda where they
can't be seen.
Then they will laugh,' while away
up there,
At the old folks who had cars for
toys,
Tor, just as long as June nights are
fair,
Girls will be girls and boys will be
boys!

Q. How is terra cotta ware made?
A. Terra cotta is usually made
from a mixture of clays, or a mater
ial of sl refractory or semi-refractory
character, these being used because
of their buff-burning qualities and
resistance to heat in burning. The
ware, if of simple design, is pressed
