Yes, We Want No Hotel T odaY some folks ard-looking o the con- Curious isn’t it how who profess to be forw citizens sometimes act t trary. _ . is no question in the There . minds of those who have been in- terviewed by the Sentinel that Norwalk needs a new hotels—needs it badly not only to continue its rapid growth but to keep from being left behind. \\ 0 cannot, for the best interests of the City. al- low to continue a state of affairs which is compelling the travelling "step on the gas. as ublic to . E‘ouncilman Mills once said, and hurry on to Bridgeport or to Stamford to spend the» night and ineidently spend the money that should be spent ill the stores of Xorwalk. The Sentinel is a newspaper 'dc- toted to the best interests of .\or- Walk. It is a newspaper that de- mands the best for the people of Norwalk. It is a newspaper that wants to see Norwalk grow as fast as possible. ' Everywhere the sentiment .15 for a new. modern. moderate price hotel and the Sentinel means to lend its aid to Norwalk to get such a hotel. To those who cry “It can't be done." the Sentinel answers. ”It will be done,” because the people of Norwalk want it done. Our slogan is “Forward,” not “back- ward.” The Sentinel is with the “go- getters.” How can any man or newspa- per declare a good thing, a neces- sary thing. cannot be done i We would rather work for a good thing. a public improvement. than stand by crying “lVolf!” at those who are active and striving. That Greek peddler on Long: Island was not crying “\\‘olf!” whru he was out doing business and shunting: “Yes, we have no bananas today." 0 O 0 Investment Blunders Surely the number of persons throwing: away their small savings or earnings in worthless stocks 'should begin to dwindle. The amount of sound advice offered to possible investors is increasing daily. Reliable newspapers and magazines conduct investment de- partments in which they give both good advice and accurate infor- mation. They teach the investor who has ears to hear the message that safety is more to be sought than large return, that even the soulldest stocks are a risk when they may be affected by a shift in business conditions. There are hopeful signs that all this publicity in behalf of a too gullible public is taking effect. Many small investors write to these sources with specific invest. nlellt problems. It is hoped that they follow the advice after they have received it. Some persons maintain that the fool crop will never grow less, but an optimist can find many evi- dences of growing self-control and Hood sense on the part. of the small investor. A Giant Lobster (Noank Letter in N. L. Day.) One. of the largest lobsters caught in these waters in s, number of years was brought into a packing house of Erns- tus \Vilhur recently. The lobster weighed El 3-4 pounds and was caught by McGregor brothers of Mystic. A few years ago one was brought in by Capt. “'aiter Itsthbun. which weighed :1 pounds. but this one has the ad- vuntage of nearly an extra pound. It was packed and shipped to F. C. Wei- :ott of New York. who is president of the State Fish and Game comminion.

(New Haven Journal Courier) The Philadelphia Ledger which lives on the edge of the hard coal belt of seventy by ten miles that holds the problem concludes that the railroads are "getting too much out of the coal dollar." nsmly. six- teen cents of the hundred cents of the consumer on tidewatcr and as much as thirty cents on the outer rim of distribution. It seems that in nine years there has been a hundred per cent. increase in the freight rate on this commodity. As late as 1920 (August) there was an advance of twenty per cent. the ten per cent. reduction on July 1, 1923. reducing-1t by that amount. Freight reductions are not always registered in the price to the consu- mer for although'the mine-to-tide- water rate lessened by twenty-nine cents per ton in the two years folow- ing the summer of 19920. the price per ton to Mr. Consumer at the coun- ter kept rising. It is significant that the report of the Coal Commission. of which consumers are expecting much. puts its finger on freight rates as meriting investigation along with royalties on leased lands. The Inter- state Commerce Commission met the suggestion at once as shown by sum- mons to the coal carriers to come be- fore it on that question. The big Pen- nsylvania railroads are large owners of coal areas and operate them; if administration be Just this may be for the public advantage. “Deccntly” Dressed (fitness City Star). Miss Alice Robertson. who has the say-so. says the girls employed at the soldier's hospital at Muskogee must get away from the Adam and Eve thing and dress decently. Decentiy is Miss Alice's word. This subject of dress for women isn't likely to be settled by any rule unless. of course. the rule is laid down by government. Government. so is well known. can settle anything and is rapidly doing so. but as the question of what women shall wear is among the few government has not yet taken up and disposed of. we incline to the view that nothing is likely to be accom- plished toward its determination until government gets around it. In the meantime women probably dress pretty much as they please. and the point. at what is "decent" in clothes. or the lack of‘themgwill be determined by the some authority. Miss Alice backs up her admoni- tion as to the clothes by tellingtlle girls down her way that they can't at— tract men by the mere display of their charms. Can't they? Then they're different from the girls up our way. _________.—.— The l'niverssl Auwrnobilc (New Haven Journal Courier) In 1817 there were “.000 motor vehicles manufactured in this country. Last year there were 2.659.000. Only meat packing and petroleum exceed the industry in value of manufactured product. The astounding extent of su- tomobiie fabrication is largely ‘ox. plained by.the fact that it has sup- of the first facts of former civilization. The individual expense. hOwevcr, has been lifted to a new level. It must be that this vast outlay is related to the. economic conditions of the time. It is common to hear the comment in the rural districts that great numbers of the people “cannot afford" the cars they drive. indeed one need not go out of the city to hear this. The readjust- ment is clearly enough causing a wrench in many quarters but it must grind on until distress works its curc and‘the automobile finds a logical and fitting place. in the day's work and play. It brings many benefits. direct and indirect. Also makes many curious social shifts. The abundance of un- rented cottages on the sea coast. is ex- plained by the convenience with which families can live at home. whirling to the waves in a few moments at con- venience. Fatal Answers. (Christian Evangelist.) Among recent schoolboy examina- tion “bowlers" we choose the follow- ing: "Things which are equal to the same thing are equal to anything else." "A grass widow is the wife of a dead vegetarian." “Oceanica is that continent which coniains no land." "In India a man out. of a. cask may not marry a woman out of another cask." "Parallel thee are the same dis- tance all the way and do not meet. un— less you bend them." "Gravitation is that which if thorn;- werc none we should all fly away." "Louis XVI was gelatined during the French revolution." "Horse poWer is the distance one can carry a pound of water in an hour." "Palsy is a kind ‘of new writer's dance."

Finn and Reilly thinking that the water “as shallow enough to walk to the shore jumped out of the boat. The water here according to Reilly and Emma; reached only up to their necks but after walking a few steps toward the shore both boys fell into a deep hole. Young Finn struggled to keep his head above the water and Reilly knowing that he could not swim. grabbed him and started for the shore. Evans who was in the boat at this time. in his hurry to reach the two boys lost his oars which floated away with the tide. When he was several yards from the shore. Reilly again thought the water was shallow so he let Finn so. finding out too late that they were again in one of the dangerous holes which surround the island. Reilly grasped Finn. but being utterly ex- hausted he was dragged underwater by Finn and was forced to loosen his grasp. Evans by this time had reached the oars and went to help Reilly who was exhausted from his at- tempts to rescue their companion. The two boys dove down around the spot. where Finn went under water but the tide which was going out. car- ried the body some distance. It was found several yards beyond the place Finn met his death. ____________..__—. “'OMAN'S “'AY. (Reading News.)
