There will, ' of course, be a little touch of Hearst, but that must be ‘the reward of staunch support from the Hearst newspapors. Welghing the good against the bad, the situation in which New York finds itsel? this morning Is no cause for su- preme worry éven an the part of those who were bitterly aligned against Hylan. Sportsmanship is the key-note of American politics. That ig why deni- gens of other nations cahnot under- stand the American _temperament. That is why the Kaiser has erred in his many under-hand drives agajnst the people of this nation. He has al- ways sent his pald agents and dis- turbers of the peace into the fght here with the thought that the nation would be disrupted. And, when all is said and done, the American people after any election, in nation, or state, or city, go back to the even tenor of thelr way and merely wait until the voting booths open atla future time. —-,l———— HOME BECONOMICS TEACHERS. Home economics teachers in the schools are told by the Bureau of Education that a special obligation rests upon them to take an active part in the national food and cloth- ing problems urising from the war. They are in a strategic position, ac- cording to the Bureau's recent cir- cular, which says: “Téachers of home .ecpnomics can reach into the homes of the patrons of the public schools and ald in ex- tending a knowledge of food condi- tions. They can explain the reasons why American families are asked to modify some of their food habits. They can raise food economy to the plane of patriotic service. They can assist families in matters of economy so that better living conditions can be maintained. Of course, all home- economics teachers will alter labora- atory practices so as. to conform to present food conditions, but they may do much more; they may care- fully make plain the reasons why jpport their war governors when governors are filled with the of the fathers, when they do not Nolate the trust placed with them. ernor McCall of Massachusetts has a patriotic man and a good war nor all through these trying days. people of his neighboring state reason to rejoice with. him in ¢onfidence expressed in his ed- pistration by the electorate of the 2 State in yesterday’s election.

" It there were those who thought they saw a rift in the lute, who imag- ned that the New York ould prove a popular set-back for he administration at Washington in hat the war would be condemned by 'ha election of an un-patriotic candi- fiata, they have been mistaken. What- er ‘else may be said against Hylan, he is a patriot. His utterances on the mp were just as patriotic as those ‘his main opponent, Mitchel. “Judge Hylan has always been, and e’ is little possibility he will ghange in the future, heart and soul gith the Wiison administration. That since the began. And this spite the fact that the orgariza- n in back of the Judge, Tammany, Enifed Woodrow Wilson at the polls In 1916.

The products of food pres- ervation may be donated to the Red ‘Cross, sent to the soldiers in France, used for public school lunches, or sold for some ' community project. Home eé¢onomics teachers can empha- size the cooking of perishable foods and reduce the use of the needed staples. Sewing courses in the schools may also be modified to meet war needs. “It should be required that half of all class work be done upon old ma- terial,” says the Bureau. “The value in teaching lessops in thrift cannot be overestimated.” ‘Whenever possible articles useful to others sather than to the pupil should be made. This is valuable in establishing among the pupils in- terest in the great national and pa- triotic movement of the present time and in suppressing selfishness and vanity. There is no particular reason why the student in sewing should carry away the product of her efforts. The instruction is given, as is all other instruction In schools, for training the intelligence and the skill of the stu- dent. To rely upon the selfish desire of the student for an article of per- sonal use or adornment to.hold her interest is to undervalue the real pur- pose of the work. : Students in the seventh and eighth grades and High school classes may sew for the Red Cross on various hospital garments. In this work both speed and efficiency may be dea veloped. If each child who makes a garment i permitted to attach the name of her school and room to the garment she will be more Interested. The acceptance of these suggestions entails additional work and responsi- bility for the teacher in charge. It will be necessary that she establish among the mothers of the children in her classes an understanding of the purposes and of - present economic conditions as they relate to woolen NEW BRITAIN DAILY. off the women who stood guard duty at the President’s hame; that it was rather the jail sentences meted out by the poljcc courts in the District of Columbia. We believe otherwise, and shall so believe until the contrary is proven. The women who undertook that work were persistent if nothing clse. A jail sentéence mcant nothing to them, so long as they could be martyrs for their god, suffrage. Hav- ing fared so well in New York the suffragists will do well to leave “picket duty” at the White House to those disloyal souls who have no other thought in mind than the embarrass- ment of the President.

To the Mditor: During this time of endeavorl on the part of the Y. M. C» A. to raise a fund of $85,000,000 for work among the Army and Navy of this country and of our Allies, I felt that perhaps a letter of appreciation from one of the “boys” who is being benefitted by this very work might not come in amiss and I trust that you will be willing to give it space in your columns. My first experidnce with the Y. M. C. A. war work came in when I went to the border and served at McAllen, Texas. There the Y. M. C. A. shack, in the hands of capable secretaries, occupied a prominent part in the life of the soldier in camp and did not a little to make his toyr of duty more plgas- urable to him, and more satisfactdxy to his government, in that through the association with the Y. M. C. A. the men were Kept fit both physically and morally. This work is today be- ing carried on in even a larger scale and at Fort Ethan Allen the Green Shack of the Y. M. C. A. has been one of the' most popular buildings on the reservation. Here the soldier not .only has found paper and enve- lopes for his correspondence, but ample space in which to write. He is encouraged to do so, is given the { advantage of classes in French and other be of marked be subjects which will efit to him, and also has opportunities for athletics and other recreation, so nec v to the life and virh of American manhood, that could not be afforded otherwise. 1 reel cer- tain that anyone looking into one of th Y. M. C. A. shacks during the recreation hours of the day would feel that the work they were doing was justificable and that it is most deserving of being carried along. I, personally, know that many boys from New Britain, and for that matter from the entire country, feel this way, and that the Y. M. C. A., if forced to stop its activities would be most seriously missed. Thanking you in advance for this favor I am, Very Sincerely Yours, JACK H. HORWITZ, Acting First Sergeant, Co! Di, M. D T N: OUR BUSINESS SYSTEM. A Thing of Shreds and Patches, But Capable of Gathering in Coin of the Realm. 131 Main Street, New Britain, Conn. To the Editor of the Herald:— In a recent notable address deliv- ered before the Southern Commercial Congress, H. L. Gautt, the well- known engineering expert, severely system. He states that it is a thing of shreds and patches, utterly inadequate to cope with conditions as they are. After telling us what we all know, viz, that all business organizations are organized financially for profit and only secondarily for public service, and stating as his opinion that gov- ernment control offers the only hope in the present emergency, Mr. Gautt continues, as follows: “The only solution is through asso- ciation of business men_who make public service their prime motive, and are willing to dedicate their ser- vice to the community i the same manner in which soldiers 'who are going to [Europe dedicate their lives."” This Is a noble ideal and we can feel grateful to hear it even pre- sented, to say nothing of ever realiz- ing it. ¢ There are numberless examples everywhere of companies which make public service their last motive, but as a candidate for the place at the foot of the class. I would like to nominate the Connecticut company. That is to say, as far as the service given New Britain and Hartford is A Comforting Consideration.

Friday evening last, there was pre- sented to this company, an opportun- ity. The greatest and best-beloved American spoke at Hartford, draw- ing an enormous crowd, not only from Hartford, but from surrounding towns, and largely !rzm New Brit- picture was | +ain. It might be supposed that fllll trolley company would have realized the necessity for a frequent service between the two cities during the evening. The least that could have been done would have been to keep up the fifteen minute schedule which is maintained during a part of the day. The 'powers that regulate the , policy of the company apparently never even thought they owed the pubHc something in the way of ser- vice. If they did think of it, they im- medlately buried it deep. As a result of this broad-minded conception of the duty of the com- pany the cars were packed, jammed and stuffed. People stood on each other, sat on each other, leaned on each other, prodded each other with their elbows, poked each other with cancs when they had them, and gen- erally struggled and fought for a place—not in the sug—but in the cold storage calrs of the beneficent- com- /pany which was allowing them the inestimable privilege of riding. An inspector or official of scme sort was at the terminal in Hartford and he llterally herded the people into the ca. The strugglng mass writhed | and wriggled itself, bit by bit, up the steps and inside the doors under his direction and with frequent admoni- tions from him to “step up front,” .and to “make more room’; and this when the car was alrcady stuffed as full as a gencrous Thanksgiving turkey. He only needed an ox-whip to make good the rczemblance to a cattle-driver. ‘It W alsgusting and, disgraceful, viewed from either thel standpoint of personal decency, Or | public service. g I have lived in various Iocalities, in the largest city in the world and I.n the Hub. I have been in London and Paris, in Chicago and Washington. As far as my experience goes, I can con- fer upon the New Britain-Hartford trolley service, the distinction of be- ing the rottenest service I have ever found,—-given the size of the two ci- tles and general conditions. The people who patronize .this line get the treatment of cattle and are presumably so looked upon. The ex< perience of that evening is one | many, only somewhat aggravated. In the course of a year and a half of frequent trips between New Britain and Hartford, I have rarely ridden in even toierable comfort. Now, in view of this service, when the company puts up the fare, can they wonder that they get small sym- pathy? Is it strange that the pub- lic looks upon companies of this kind as tyrants rather than servants as they should be—and that the cry arises for government ownership? Such ownership might be—as M\‘ Gautt says—but temporary, and it might be—as its opponents say-— more unsatistactory than present ownership; but we poor mortals who have not yet achieved the proud dis- 1} i Hi ful for ana inel Chi are ter!

November 3, 1917. i e e s I WHAT THE GYPSY KNEW. Story Told to Unwilling Seatmate on Train Drawn by Highwhecler Engine 623. (New York Times.) Owing to pressing demands for machinists in other branches of pub- lic endeavor just now, highwheeler ngine 628, like most of her sister: does not run quite as smoothly as in the days of peace, but now, on the long, straight stretch from the grave- d down to the blast furnace, she aged to purr off each mile in the in years o ma appointed 65 seconds, as gone by. In the dimly lighted old day coach behind the long string of mail and express cars her sleeping or dozing passengers were about the same, save for a scattering of men in khaki. Mr. Belting, freight conductor off duty and deadheading home, was as usual pleasantly and au. stock of his surroundings, when he suddenly drove a heavy forefinger into the ribs of his seatmate. “Say boss,” he said, ve got a brand new and original story for you, but it's an eery ome.” “1If it'’s an Erie one, tell it to the Erie, don’t goldbrick. me with it snarled Mr. Harvey, the Times com- muter, trying to draw his newspaper over his eyes. “But it isn’t a railroad story at all,” persisted the- railroader, placidly, “and it's a true one, too, though I never told you a lle in my.life. It's about a bunch of women folk who less than a week ago came down from the city in their automoblle. Just when they got into these here’ woods they slipped an eccentric or blew out an air hose or something and the lady boss of the outfit told her chauffeur— he was a husky and not an old fellow neither—that it was up to him to get out, and when he had the old clutter- buck turning over again he was to come along and pick them up. Mean- while she and her friends would walk down the road a bit and pick golden- rod and purple asters. “Well, they walked and they picked, and they picked and they walked, and at last they came around another bend of the road with noth=|. ing about them to show they'd ever seen an auto, let alone been riding in one, when they came upon a little gypsy encampment, “The oldest woman of the tribe gave them the old story about cross- ing her palm with silver and telling their fortunes. They thought it was great fun, and when she got through the gypsy lady asked them if there were any questions they’d like to ask. “ “Tell us when the war is going to end?” sald the lady boss. “ ‘November 15." « ‘Wonderful, if true,’ said the lady ‘Rut it's too good to be true.” “ “True!' hollered the gypsy, ‘It's just as true as that your chauffeur is lying dead under your car not a mile up the road at this very min- ute.’ o auto came along, walked back, and, sure enough, he was dead under the car. ‘Gasoline fumes on top of a weak heart,’ the doctor sald.” so they HATTER'S PLUSH HATS High lustre finish, stun- ning shapes, $2.69 trimmed with band and bow.

FITZHUGH GREEN, U. 8, N. The Galleas No, it isn't any kind of mule. It's Naval alright. A good Amerjcan name, I assure you and, like ‘dynamo,’ derived from the ancient Greek. The Galleass was the Father of Dread- naughts, the original all-big-gun ship. The Adam of a race of battleships we now pay billions to build. Most likely the English Admiraity Board that designed the originat Dreadnaught, H. M. 8. and all that wouldn’t have known a Galieass from a topsail-yard. Just on hearing,the dibly taking | name they might have put it down ag | said some new kind of treacle. The Lord High Admiral of the Home ' Fleet was good and wrong for once when in 1907 he claimed England had made the greatest single advance in. marine construction within the his- tory of naval warfare. Mr. Don Juan of Austria had his patents in for this particular type of ship some four centuries before modern armor was even invented. And what’s more the old Don’'s Dreadnaught made more character in one afternoon than the present Admiral’s has in ten years. | I oan't go into the technique of the ' thing. But the term Dreadnausyt has come to mean a ship of war hav- ing all guns the largest and longest calibre, and of the same calibre throughout. The'old type with tur. rets and broadside rifles both was like a fighter who can sidestep with cross- cut to jaw, double-counter to the brachial plexus, and kidney-hit in the clinch. The Dreadnaught’s par- allel is a brass-knucked thug who crashes straight in and with one sledge-hammer blow sends the fancy dancer into a two-hour trance. Don's realization of this was a for- tuitous hunch, meaning just in the nick of time. For Don Juan of Aus- trla was Christian leader against the Turks in 1571 at a point in his- tory when Christianity didn't have a twenty-eight million dollar con- gress on its side. Although Salamlis, the first naval battle in the world, had been fought 2,000 years before, warships were still propeiled by man-pulled oars. Don Juan had no more ships than did the enemy. Fis Galleys and his Gal- liots were, however, A-number-one, next year's model, with streamline bodies. The great and bloody Bgt- tle of Lepantq was impending. n all 500 vessels and 100,000 men were fated to engage. Things looked like an even break. Even the Wall street verdict was 50-50, money get- ting tighter every night. But they didn’t figure on Don Juan’s Dreadnaught. Censorship must have been stricter in those days than now. His idea was concentration. He concentrated weight in the vessel's bow; built it high and heavy and by his armament, heavy hitting. He | | Y concentrated his guns, and his men at the guns, and his ammunition be- hind the men. Until finally he had a bull-necked thug of a battleship that could wable with one powerful thrust into the crifty enemy’s off¢nse and- scuttle hly battle line stern first. All Pasha was the Moslem leader, He stood on the flagship’s bridgo that medieval afternoon smoking an Egyptian straight when a sall was sighted on the horlzon. Another: rose; and then ancther. “It's him,” Al ungrammatically to his Mate. “Give her ten more, and sig- nal it!” He meant set the 200 galley slaves up to ten more strokes a min- ute and wig wag this change of speed to the engineer officers of the other ships. Suddenly tho Tdol-WVorshipper started. ‘“‘Quartermaster,” he broke out hoarsely, “what's that on the Enemy’s left?”" This -was before the day of telescopes. The grizzled mar- iner only squinted before he an- swered, “Dunno, Most High Sir; but if it ain’t a floating island it sure is some Whizz of a ship!” It was Don Juan’s Dreadnau; She steamed at the column’s heg:l:' Majesty was in the grim steadiness of her attack. Small fry in front didn’t even splinter her solid prow. The second line crumpled like a \Ford in a collision.; And, by ‘tha time All Pasha was reached, the bat- tle was won. More than 30,000 Turks lay dead or dying on the blood-splat- tered decks of their shattered craft. Of course the facts and dates and hames are interesting. They are all in our Naval Histories. But most curious is Man's forgetfulness. Now- adaye with acclamation we greet as ' a new and finished design this type of vessel so old and so perfect that almost singlehanded she won the Battle of Lepanto.
