But it is explained by a member of the jail committee that this will nardly be likely now. due to the close proximity of the jail to both Tart- ford and New Britain, from whence about 90 per cent of all soners come. Being but a few from each place it may be ranged to take the prisaners there in the po- | lice patrols, this committeeman plains. While the people of Newing- ton objected to this jail, and Repre- sentative Bowers of Manchester, speaking for them, proposed a reso- lution to have action stopped, it is strange to say that Representative Tish, Newington's own representative, did not vote Senator George W. member of the special committee which visited various penitentaries throughout the country last fall and he says that the gener: trend of penal institutions today to uplift the prisoners through healthy envir- onments. At the visited by this comralitee the farm lahor system was found to work out satisfactorily and there seems to be no reason why it cannot work out well in Hartford County. Today jail prizoners are kept at work caning chairs, for which the prisoner receives nothing and the county only ten cents per day. The proposzed scheme of hiring out cer- tain prisoners for farm labor scems a g2ood solution for the plan would call for the fair payment of wages. Thus, if a prisoner's work entitled him to $2 per day from the farmer the coun- get half and the prisoner ithe other half so that when he left iail he would have something.

The boys are spinning tops and the giTls are houncing rubber halls at the end of an elastic. We also see the boys playing “megs’ on the sidewalks and the attics many homes are heing ransacked for last vear's basc. ball and bat. Added to these are two other sure enough signs.

Who it it is not ne cessary to say, but was without home, friends or money. Tn fact he was given lodging by friends for a few days preparatory to his call to serv- ice. That New Britain has sent an- other man to Camp Devens who can rightly share this claim of loneliness is now evidenced by the experience of a voung woman in City hall who secured his name from the War Bu- reau, and becaus4 he had neither kith nor kin here sent him a Smileage Book by another soldier. The man is a Pole by nativity and cannot under- stand English well, so when he was presented with the Smileage Book he smiled and declined to accept it. Later, through an interpreter, it was ex- plained that a young woman had sent it to him. Still the lonely soldier de- clined to accept it, protesting that there was some mistake, that he did not have a relative or friend in the world and so. of course, the Smileage Book was not for him. And he sisted that he could not accept it. be- cause he had no one to remember him.

Yo in- " % The council members of the resolution to exempt Home Guard and the City Guard from payments of pe sonal tax during the period of the ! war is of some little interest locally. All do not understand the standing of these two military crganizations how- ever. The Home Guard is a military | organization, authorized by legisla- tive statute. which is reality takes the place of the old National Guard. Its members are enlisted for a pertod of two vears, are subject to all the regu- Jations of war and can be called out for service anywhere in the state. Alzo. the members must attend the weekly drills and where they fail to do this without a good excuse thej are fined 31 and this fine can be col- lected by statute. On the other hand, the City Guard a semi-private, semi-public organization. It is a branch of the New Britain Rifla club, a private organization, but while its members must be members of the Rifle club, members of the Rifle club are not necessarily its members. Members of the City Guard are sworn in as apecial city uardsmen under a special ordinance and they can called out for serv- ice within the city limits by the mayor in case of any necessary emer- gency. It is only when they are called out though. that they have any authority. ~Tts members hold weekly drills and a fine of fifty cents is levied | | on absentees. Because of its private nature, however. the payment of this fine cannot be enforced any more than a member can be compelled to g0 out on active duty if called. It is purely a matter of keeping his sworn vow to do that makes a member { obey these rules. Also, while a form | of enlistment provided in the City Guard, the members can drop out at any time and do not have to wait for their period of enlistment to expire as is the case with the Home Guard.
