To find them out, to judge her actual worth that price paid may be for value received, there are held what are known as trial trips There are three special kinds {rial trips: Builders’ Trials, ance Trails and Commi Trials.

Stability of the huze foln- dations. agility of control motors, ef- fects of the terrific blasts on sare rounding structures, are but a few of the inquiries made.

(Waterbury Republican) The philosophy that the cartoonist. Briggs, presents in his picture of the unfortunate individual who goes along his way continually discovering that “somebody is always taking the joy out of lifc” needs to be absorbed by some people who have been allowing the war to get on their nerves. Fcon- omizing has become such an obsession with them that the sugsestion that they go to a theater s received with shocked horror at the idea of spending money for so unnecessary a thing, or with gloomy discouragement of thus finding pleasure while the nation is at war. Tying crepe around your hat, pulling a long face and talking in de ring tones of all the woe that is abroad in the world will .not help to win the war. The war does call for redoubled encrgy in our work, for a careful conservation of food, coal and other materials essential to our allie to our soldiers and our people at home who are working to supply the na- tion’s war needs. It does not call for an ascetic self denial that rules all recreation, amusement and pleasure out of our lives. St. Simecon Stylites passed a suffering existence on the top of a pole, and some of his confreres agonized in camels’ hair shirts, but none of them did himself or the rest of the world any good. Cheerfulness will help win this war. If you've worked hard all day at a task that directly or indirectly is sup- plying our country with strength for the war, go to a theater, if your inclin- ation runs that way. You can do it with a clear conscience. You'll do a better day’s work on the day following because you've laughed heartily at the comedian or because youwve enjoved lively music, a dramatic sketeh or a Zood moving picture. Getting into a rut is bad for a man, physically, mentally and morally. The old-time sailor who spent two months or more on a trip showed the effect, of the deadening monotony when he reached a city on short leave and let out his pent up inclinations in one wild roar. A man or woman needs re- creation, amusement, to relieve the hum drum of life. The theaters serve a good purpose in furnishing this in a harmless form. To the men and women who have bovs in the army or already in France must come moments of depression when gloomy thoughts will overcomo ther. It is ridiculous to arguc that cconomy demands that they shut themselves up in a closet and brood upon the sadnmess of the times. Let them come out and mingle with their feilowmen. They owe it to themselves 1o sit for a while in the cheerful sur- roundings of a theater or other places of entertainment and get rid of the idea, that ife has nothing of brightness in ¥t If we believed that the amusement killing sort w for beczuse of the pational we would economize on news- space by doing away with Din the Brizgs cartoons, jokes, verse and everything that is hot of a serious nmature. We are go- ing to keep all fhese things because they help to serve that excellent pur- pose that the theaters serve. They help to keep the people cheerful and cheerfulness makes for a better mor ale of a nation as it does for the sol- spai ecanomy of s called emer- gency pap “Petoy dier who is fighting Cheerfulness will help The theater that is amusement is of real nation. at the fromt. win the war. giving cleitn service to the ALL OUT OF ONE MOLD, Press Censorship in Germany Regue lates Not Only News, But Also Views Expressed. (Waterbury Republican) At the beginning of the war, The Republican commented upon the unls formity of the statements and opine jons which were received in the United States by wireless from Geps many, from German sources in tHls country and in letters from Germans to relatives in th country. They were completely standardized. Tha German press censorship, which Tegus lates not only what the country shall know, but what comment shail bel made upon such news as is publishedy was the only explanation. The first opportunity to study the German censor at work comes in thos set of secret telegrams of instrug- tions to the German press which wo made public on Monday in Washinga ton. After reading them, there is nol more occasion to wonder about thel uniformity of thought and informas tion in Germany than over the faoty. that all of Mr. Hearst's newspapersl attack the president in unison. The German censor not only forbiday the publication of unfavorable mil- tary happenings, but tefls the news& papers what they are required to en- phasize, what questions they must stirf ~ up and which must not be discussed.; Fle issues them their news and sug-| gests the size of headlines. Some-| times these are couched as requests, sometimes the language ts peremptory] and occasionally punishment is threat| ened. There can exist in Germant under the system no newspaper as weq understand the term. No wonder Germans know only what they are told by the government. Ome of the things which newspapers were Tecently to publish is interesting: “Pr. 11-8155. Advertisements in which dog flesh is offered for sale are mot allowed. Their ac- ceptance is forbidden.
