Then, we will build a club house for the boys,—a real club house with everything in it to make a boy’s heart glad. Think of the joy of it, being a boy all over again. No matter how old you are, take a flight of imagination back to the time when you reveled in Kknickerbockers, and stubbed your toe on the .village green, and did all the taings the boys are doing today. Think of the ‘‘ole swimmin’' hole,” and how you fished with a -home- made rod, a bended pin for a hook, and a spool of thread for a line. Think of the dear old days in school, when you looked out the window on Jjust such a June day as this and won- dered why you had to sit in a stuffy old class-room when the grass out- side 'was so nice and green. Think of the games you played and all the things you longed for, and how it hurt your little heart when there were some wants not satisfied. How that lump would come up in . your throat and at night how you'd cry over it all and think what a cruel, cruel world it was. Maybe it was only a spinning top you wanted, or some .marbles, or a hoop,’or perhaps a "hfl; " or an ‘“‘express wnggin o But they did louk good and you ws,nt- ed one so badly. And then someone, Aunt Mary or Uncle John, gave you ,just what you wanted, and you were the happiest.boy inithé world.: Oh'it was great to be a boy and to long for things like boys do. And.wpen you gat your heart's desire, how you -wor- shipped the donor. ‘ Boys are hero- worshippers,—more to their glory. The boys today are .no different from ‘those of yvesterday. They have the same desires, the same appetites, the same longings. ‘Theirs is the first It is al- ways the same. Boys are boys. In New Britain today all the boys have united their wants in the fotm of a club house. They want a real place to play, and study, and while away the happiest moments of their lives. “Are the boys going to get the club ‘house? Are they?” Answer:—*“They are!” You just wager they will get it. Further, they are going to get one of the finest club houses we can give them. As lgng as there is a man alive in New: Britain who was a boy, —a real boy,—who wants to be a boy, and knows what it is to be a boy, the boys are not going to wait much longer for this club. 1t we have boys of our own, or it_ we expect some day to look into eyes that resemble ours, or even if we are staid old bachelors we are going to give these boys of New Britain sameé- thing that will be a means of making them better boys,—even better boys than .we were, if possible. Just think. If every man in this city would give ‘a dollar bill, or two dollars, or five, what a grand total it would make. °And, individually, we would never miss one cent of it. ‘On the contrary, our little mite would.be the best effort we ever made, for it will come back with 100 per cent. in- terest on the day the new club house is opened .and the entire population turns out to see what we have given our boys. 4 Some generous citizens have ready donated as high as one hundred dollars each. There are many more who can give the same. Their names will be written forever on the hearts of the boys of New Britain, for this club house is not for the boys of to- day alone; it will go on down the ages and house the boys of tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow, until these boys whom we are helping to- day are ready and able to take care of boys of another generation. And | the work shall go on, and on, and on, until our little cffort has ended in a ! magnificent mansion, and all the boys of the future will doff their hats in reverence te our memories and say, “Well, those were real fellows, those men of 1915.” It puts new life into us to think of these things, we men, for after all we are no more than boys grown tall, and ;boys- will be boys. al- Someone ‘suggests a boys’ club is a baseball bat.

Its chief aim is against the lives of able-bodied men. Its instruments are designed for killing men, bhurn- ing cities, ruining industries. It builds up nothing. Of the thtee plagues of mankind, war, pestilence and fam- ine, war comes first, being infinitely more destructive than the other two.

Deploring the frightful conflict in the old warld, the Unjted States sin- cerely wishes to do all in its power to bring it to an end.

SWITCHING NUISANCE AGAIN. Trolley Cars, Autos and Pedestrians Forced to Wait at Railroad Crossing. Several hundred people, countless autos and wagons and three trolley cars weéré forced to endure a’ long wait at the Main street croseing last evening shortly after 6 o'clock until the crew of a freight train were ready and willing to cease the switching nuisance for a few min- utes to allow traffic which had been .badly, copgested for ten minutes. to move along., Among those who were forced to stand and wait was a well <known business man who voiced his opinion in no kind terms of the rail- road committee of the common coun- cil for its apparent slackness in tol- “erating’ this ‘nuigance, which is be- ginning to reach the proportions which many will remember existed several years ago. Delays of this sort on a thorough- fare such as Main street will some time prove to be disastrous, and after it does then probably the railroad committee will get busy and do some- thing to remedy the trouble. If ‘he fire alarm had sounded last evening, at this particular time, a serious loss would likely occur, as it would have railroad been an impossibility for the depart- | ment to get by. This would be a good matter for the Chamber of Comw- merce to look up and help those who have been forced to endure the long waits on many an occasion, and there- by prove to the railroad committee but what is needed in cases of kind is action, and if this is not forth- coming employ the proper methods to bring the railroad company. to the realization that Main street was not bullt entirely for its use.
