Repprb—Our Hunch a. The Evening Sentinel yesterday received the following letter from the Ford Motor Company, Detroit. 3 Mich» in reply to a query as to the > f authenticity of reports that the com- .. pany plans to build a large assembl- 3 ing plant here which figuid employ at least 2,000 men: "The Evening Sentinel, "South Norwailt. Conn. "Gentlemen: , “Your night letter of September ‘ 36th addressed to Mr. Henry Ford. has been turned over to this office for reply. "We have no plans, nor do we contemplate building an assembly plant in your city at present. “Yours very truly. Ford Motor Company. “A. A. Jenkins. Secretary's Office." Despite this apparent definite denial that plans are under con- templation to erect a Ford plant in Norwalk. The Excning Sentinel has a hunch. its information that an ex- haustive survey of the Meadow street site was made by Ford agents. is correct. Being good business men the Ford officials are not prepared to an- nounce their plans before they are fully developed. A premature state- ment would, they probably believa send real estate prices soaring. Information which reached The Evening Sentinel leads us to the con— clusion that Ford agents. after a thorough inspection of Norwalk and its humor. reported to the home office in Detroit that this city pre- sented the best facilities for a plant of any place in New England. The final decision. of course. will rest with the Ford executives in Detroit. There is no way at present of guessing what that decision will be—but playing our hunch a. bit further we believe that before many months The Ford Motor Co. will be- gin the erection of a plant in Nora wall-z. Our Roads the Worst in This Section? An expression often heard which “i casts amthiug but credit on Nor- wall; 'is this: “The rind” worst. of any it If 3'43 . .... (t. 5,. :52: ; :iiiilmrtinmsmmummimzutilise-muntrimming“:mimosa r: . if in Norwalk are the. city in this section." Vin cannot, agree that they are the worst. but we are forced to con« code that they are had. A spirit of false economy in the past has dominated the road build- ing appropriations of Norwaik. Little by little the roads have been ,, allowed to sink into a slate of neg- Elcct. which today necessitates the 1. rebuilding of many of them. ~~~ Take Vi'est avenue as an example. All during the summer complaints were numerous that the roadway there required attention. These complaints. whatever the reason. were not heeded. Today the sur- farc of West avenue has the quality of' a wash-hoard, which is excellent in the laundry but not nearly so commendable for vehicular travel. 1When the winter frosts attack the street. its condition it is feared will resemble ‘thc "rocky road to Dub- lin." Many other streets have been sub- Jectcd to the same neglect. The policy is a penny wise. pound fool- ish one. In the end the city Will have to spend thousands and thou- sands of dollars more than a com- prehensive yearly road building policy would entail. In addition. hundreds of people are being kept from Norwaik because of the re- port of its poor roads, which repre— ' sents a distinct and heavy loss to its merchants. .v o»... .-\ .i. 31111319? ‘35?

The following are taken from Sentinel of October 3. 1014: "The wheels of indusfi’rwlil. once more whirl in the Mary on Hon- the has remained vacant. The Spore- Mlehsel company of New York city. prominent clothing manufacturers. are today moving vast quantities of machinery into the Monroe street factory preparatory to beginning op- eration." ‘ “Mrs. Ira Wilson of Osborn ave- nue islboing entertained in an en- joyable manner at the homes or friends and eriatives in Yonkers.” "M. P. Dunn and family have re- moved from 31 Osborn avenue to the suite of rooms above Mr. Dunn's place of business on Washington street." “ 'We. the parents of the Rom- ton children who attend school in South Norwslk do appreciate the fact that the company send an ex- tra car at 7:60 o'clock in the'morn- ing and should see to it that the children go on that car rather than crowd the 7:30 car and then wait' forty minutes for the opening of the school session."' “Ida. Hay and William Cockefur. both of Norwalk. were quietly mar- ried in this city on August 15." '_ “Officer and Mrs. Robert Gainer and family are preparing to move from.helr home on Summitt street to 53 Bayview avenue. the house re-- cently vacated by Attorney N. Can- dee." ’- "Sherii! J. Wheiler of Bridgeport is in town today. The sheriff is searching titles in the town clerk's office. probably with the idea of at- taching the real estate of local par~ ties." ”A very creditable production of ‘Tennessee's Pardner' was given by the Helen Page stock company. be- fore a capacity house at Hoyt's theatre last evening. The work of the entire cast was excellent with especial mention being made of Ro~ bert La bands. who in the part of 'Gweddiken Hay' (a magnificent liar) kept the audience in an up. roar.” "A baby girl was born this morn- ing to Mr. and Mrs. H. Bchimerling of 88 Spring street. Mother and baby are doing nicely. Mr. Schimor- flag. the indescribably proud father. is manager of the Singer Sewing machine shop in Railroad avenue." "Miss Ida Kramer of North Main street. who recently resigned her position with the management of the Hotel Mahackcmo, has taken a place as bookkeeper with the S. Cohen and company on \Vater street. this city." Fashion note. “A stunning tailored costume in mastic velvet shows the smartest of long coats. While the cuffs and collar of heavy corded silk and buttons of the same material form the decorative scheme." DINNER STORIES The following conversation be- tween in prosecuting attorney and a ”prisoner was heard in a court room "No. I had a club." "Did you knock him down?" "He fell." "'Did you hurt him?" The prisoner smiled for the first time. "Ask him." he replied.~ O O O The prisoner was brought into the courtroom and led to the witness chair. “What is your name?" asked the lawyer. “Michael Levlnsky." was the an- swcr. "Can you read 7" went on the at- torney. "Nope." was the reply. "Can! you write?" came the next on the query list. "Yup. I can write." responded the defendant. “How does it happen that you can write but not read ?" demanded the counsel for the plaintiff. “I don't had to read my own writ- ln'. do I?" exclaimed the law- breaker; ' THE WEATHER.

In Shakespeare's play King Henry V the Dauphan of France tells the king: "Self-love. my liege, is not so vile a sin as self-neglecting." Voltaire. too, has comfort for the self—lovers. “is the instrument of our preserva- tion: it resembles the provision for the perpetuity of mankindz—dt necessary. it is dear to us. it gives us pleasure. and we must conceal it." But to the usually wise La Roche- ioucauid. the whole existence of self- love is nothing but one long and mighty agitation. 1! I O “Self-love." he says, “is the love of one's self. and of everything an account of one's self; it makes men idolizo themselves. and would make them tyrants over others if fortune were to give them the means. ”There is nothing as impetuous as its desires. nothing so secret as its plans. nothing so clever as in conduct. . “We cannot sound the depths. nor penetrate the darkness of its abysses There it is concealed from the keel» est eyes. it goes through a. thousand turns and changes. There it is often invisible to itself; it conceives, nourishes. and brings up. without being conscious of it. a vast number of loves and hates. Some of these it forms so monstrous. that when brought to light it is unable to re- cognize them, or cannot resolve ‘to own them. “From this darkness which con- ceals it, spring the ridiculous ideas it has of itself; hence come its er- rors. its ignorance. its grossness, and "This self-love." he says is it follies with respect to itself. 0 O 0 “But this thick darkness which conceals it from itself does not pro. vent its seeing perfectly every exter- nal object-in this. resembling our eyes, which see everything. and are only blind to themselves; in fact. in its greatest interests and in its most important affairs. where the violence of its desires calls for all its atten— tion. it sees, it perceives. it udcr- stands. it imagines. it suspects. it penetrates. it divines everything: so much so, that one is tempted to be- lieve that each of our passions has a magic peculiar to itself. 0 O 0 "Something it accomplishes in a short time and without effort. what it had not been able to effect in the course of several years with all the efforts in its power; whence we may conclude. not unjustly. that its dc- slres are excited by itself. rather than by the beauty and merit of their object. . . . . O 0 ."It cares for nothing but its own existence. and provided that it do exist. will readily become its own enemy. - “We must not be surprised. there- .austerity. and enters boldly league with it to work its own des- truction. because, at the same time, that it is overthrowing itself in one place. it is re-establishlng itself in another."

Lura's suggestion that her mo- that would come late in the day. "because she would rather travel all day than spent the night in 3 Pull- man," enabled him to decide to meet the 5:27 train at Central station. He wavered as he waited for the train to arrive an hour late. "Just my luck for her to come on something else," he told himself. It was close to 8 o'clock before Fred, with a headache induced by Mrs. Kingston’s hordes of questions of the train, arrived at the apart- ment with Lura's mother and a pile of boggles that told him she intend- eddto stay more than a more week- on . , Hilda,was not impressed by the company. it was plain that. she was displeased over being kept overtime. and she rushed the courses to an extent that even Mrs. Kingston. who was more occupied in talking than in eating. noticed it and gave the maid a scorching look; When Hilda was gone. she re- marked "that girl of yours needsa talking to.
