More summer heat in the nest,

In testifying that the Atlanta

Nowadays automobiles, radios,

Connecticut is said to be growing
75 varieties of apples. It is said that
some of the professors at Storrs can
tell the classification of any apple
merely by looking at it. Tint as a
farmer out in Tolland county re
marked, he'd be nfi smart as that
himself if he could see any good in
it. He added, "by way of parenthe
sis," as they say in Boston, that he
is more interested in what he ob
tains for said apples when he sends
them to market.

"Women and children first" yes:

there is nobody else to effect escape.
I'll try to cling to life with the

And thus they go to a heroic
death.
THi: MAYOR'S &LRPRISK
Our mayor made it plain to every -one
that he dislikes elections that are
below par elections in which only
half the qualified voters take the
trouble to go to the polls.
But he went a bit farther when he
said he was in favor of voiding elec
tions that lack a popular participa
tion of 611 per cent. It's a good idea;
but how can it be done? According
to the law, ae we understand it, the
fellow getting the majority is elected
regardless of the number actually
voting. How could that be changed?
As a theoretical proposition, how
ever, one yielding "food for
thought," the mayor's idea registers
100 per cent perfect.
Another way would be to have
good enough issues to arouse ooinc
thing aproaching white heat. But
such a desideratum would require
less pussyfooting by the politicians
on the important issues.
The next time a first class local
issue hits the council, let there be a
popular referendum, preceded by
some first class ballyhooing on both
side. We are willing to bet a nickel
cigar against a lollypop that more
than SO per cent of the city's indig
nant voters would arise to save the
city from going to hades.
BRUM. I. PORT lI.LrTi;i:.C Y
Some official in Bridgeport lias
made u. report that 4a, "00 adults in
that city cannot read and write
English .and are not citizens in the
city. Naturally, there is considerable
excitement. Those w-no don't believe
the report is accurate are in the ma
jority. It is worth while calling attention
to tlie fact that an inability to read
or write English is not necessarily
a sign of illiteracy in the case of a
man or woman born overseas. .Most
of these may be perfectly able read
i rs ami writers in their native lan
guage, tl is no easy thing for a for
eigner to take up English late in life
and become on accomplished render
and writ- r thereof. Th re is such a
tiling as expecting too much. j
The ability to write rind read
English well enough to be termed
that usually shows itself in the chil
dren of immigrants. Some of these
can do this better than the children
of natives. j
DRAMATICS IX liOs'l'OX I
With one super-city within its
borders. New England cannot help
feeling friendly dispos. d toward any
thing good that may come out of
Boston. The person who dubbed the
place the hub of the universe natur
ally exaggerated; but in a sense it is
t lie h ub of New England.
Our hading ei'y on the I'liarhs

Ol R Bl SIKST CORNER
AND SOMK OTIII'JRS
When the police department be
gan to concentrate more attention
upon traffic conditions in the down
town section this was several years
aco the main Sought appeared to
be that the contest between autos
and pedestrians was thickest at the
bank corner at Main and West Main
streets. Traffic cops were stationed
in the environs and their heads were
mostly turned in the direction of this
point, accompanied by wigwagging
and much gesticulation.
When tignal lights were erected
the idea still persisted that the bank
corner needed all the special atten
tion. In vain did we attempt to em
phasize the patent fact that more
trouble was being experienced at
Main an 1 Church street than any
w here else.
We have noted and so has every
body else that lately the well
known traffic gendarmes have
switched their attention front the
bank corner and are making an ex
traordinary thorough job of it at the
Church street crossing. It is here
that pedestrians, during the busy
hours of the day, are made to foe!
the inexorable majesty of the law.
Thn gendarmes claim they have all
the. law they need in the little yellow
books and crossing contrary to the
signals made and provided simply is
not permitted. This is called educat
ing the public. It's a hard job, no
doubt, but orders arc orders and the
policeman assigned to hold back the
crowd is doing his duly with spartan
patience, nt to say dexterity. Most
of the time he is bulky Officer Joe
Kennedy; most of the time when we
mention his name in any connection
the other otlieers got sore, no we
hasten to mention it once more.
Meanwhile, while the said traffic
ollicer is educating the public at the
Church street corner bis flank, L c,
the hank corner, goes unprotected.
There being no civic desire to em
ploy "too many" traffic olficers. the.
bank corner is bald of special pro
ticlion, and the public mak.s the
best of it. f-'o it often happens that
while Church street corner is gifard
id with Napoleonic fervor, the bank
conv-r furnishes an opening for fast
crossing by people in a hurry. Truly
a sad situation.
Wc rather think this education of
the public is never going to be en
tirely successful. The average indi
vidual siiows no desire to contest the
right of way with oncoming chariots,
hut when he notice s none coming on.

B"i on the oilier side of tlie street.
Th'-ri are various complications,
too. that neiih.r signal lights nor
traffic cops can alter. Thousands of
p.'opl daily tray.! on the trolley
cars which stop and go at. the tri
angle. Imagine ihe feelings of a per
son intending to board a car and
then finding his way blocked by a
traffic officer or red light just at the
moment the trolley car is about to
depart, from it.-; moorings at the tri
angle? Even a traffic cop, unibr
such circumstances, would feel sym
pathetic. Complaint has been made, too,
that the pesky traffic signals fre
quently give a much longer lime to
the automobiles than lo pedestrians.
We have investigated this allegation
and find that tlie autos -lo in fact get
a longer period for travel b. fore be

harrassed drivers. Winn tlie signals
are operated automatically the time
varies, according to how the ma
chinery in tlie tower js set. Our
sugg'i.tion is that there be not too
great a difference between the
length of time between (he periods.
Anelli. r situation worth worrying
about Is the facility with which the
Main street railroad gates go down

riL-lit of way to the chariots. It even
sometini'S happens that juol as they

tracks, t lit: a ut nmat ie, red lighls go
