Sixty-six men and women, either proprietors or emploves, were taken into custody on the ground that they places in violation of the local laws restricting Sunday attractions. According to the story coming from New Haven, the raid was a retaliatory measure taken against Sheriff “Tom” Reilly. The clean-up was directed by a West Haven police official who was a candidate for appointment as deputy sheriff by Mr. Reilly. Owing to the opposition of two members of the Town Committee, both of interested In Savin Rock amusement features, he did not win the appointment.

Representative Madden reports on his observation of Tllinois of Euro- pean psychology which may have an effect on the proposed alliance he- tween France, England and America when it is brought before the Senate by President Wilson. Mr. Madden cannot be accused of playing politics as in a recent utterance he advocated that the United States give its whole- hearted support to President Wilson in his labors at Paris. That appeal was made before the public was in- formed that the United States would be asked to pledge its resources protecting France in the event German military azgression. Speaking of conditions in Iurope generally, Mr. Madden said yesterday: It cannot be possible for our people to mingle with the people there on equal terms; they do not think like we do. Invisible bor- der lines make it necessary for them to be watchful of each other. They are suspicious, one nation of the other, and you can- not make them otherwise. Their international political hatred is unchangeable. to of THE ABSENT MR. BORAH.

DOROTHY WALKER'S CASE. Statement Made by Christian Science Committee on Publicity. Hartford, Conn., May 20, 1919, To the Iiditor, New Britain Herald, New Britain, Conn.: The publicity usually given by county physicians and coroners on the rare occasions when persons pass on under Christian Science treatment arg for the efficacy of Christian treatment in the healing of § when the { is taken into i that there are thou- of regular listed “hristian ) Science practitioners in all parts of the country whose time almost. wholly occupied in practicing Chris- tian Science in the (reatment of all manner of discase ‘During the recent epidemic panish influenza records show in a certain district where 361 of so-called Spanish influenza were treated by Christian Science practi- tioners, out of this number only three passed on.” Two of the threc had been iven up by the physicians, and Chri tian Science practitioners had been called at the last moment. The other was a case where conditions were not favorable to the practitioner. The case of Dorothy Walker, of Newark, N. J., reported in the New | Britain Herald of lay 7 under the startling heading in large type, “Child Dies Under Christian Science,” is in point as to publicity. Dorothy Walker was the daughter of Andrew Walker, of 869 South 16th street, Newark, N. J. Her parents are both Christian Scientists. The | child, who would be nine vears old next August, manifested some symp- toms of illness, April 21, and was treated by Christian Science practi- tioners, but did not respond and passed away May 4. The father, who appears to be a very intelligent and sincere man, states that the child manifested no symptoms of diphtheria and made no complaint of any difficulty in mouth or throat, but that the symptoms all pointed to some trouble other than diphtheria. As soon as the child passed on, the father notified the county physician. 1A deputy, upon making a cursory e amination, announced the case to be one of diphtheria and ordered an The county physician at | once gave the case to the newspapers and the autopsy was held May 5 hy | the same deputy county physician, who announced that the child died of diphtheria. The board of health was then sum- moned by him or by his instructions, and Dr. Craster, the health officer of | that city, who appears not to be averse to publicity, took charze of the house and the parents and on May 7 placed them under quarantine. As expressed by St. Paul in Philip- pians 3:13—"Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ ues Science disease conside sands of that cases present degree make no claim every case of of understanding, to be able to heal discord or disease, but insist that the metaphysical method of healing taught and practiced by Jesus the:Christ (which is Christian Science) is the only scientific and ef- ficacious manner in which the sick and sinful ever were or ever can be healed. Many cases of diphtheria and other so-called contagious diseases are re- ported to the health officers and then ated successfully by Christian Science practitione; but in the event of a failure it seems to be regarded as a cause for much publicity, where- as it conceded hy well-informed physicians that about 50 per cent.-of | their diagnoses prove to be correct and death from diphtheria and other contazious diseases are of frequent occurrence under treatment by ma- teria medica physicians and no com- ment is made. Respectfully, FREDERICK & HOFFER, Christian Science Committee on Publication. A Scientific Wage Scale. (Meriden Record) When the cost of living is rising, as everybody knows. any given wage or salary has less and less purchasing power, and, therefore, the worke finds that, for practical purposes, his income is steadily shrinkinz. What is to he done ahout it? The usual method is {o raise wages from time to time in an effort to keep up with living expenses. \When prices are going down, there is gencrally a similar effort on the part of employ- accordingly. This method at is crude. Tt fails to keep even pace with price movements, and when reductions are made, em- ployes are likely to resent them. Under fhe spur of war conditions, many emplo; throughout the coun- try have adapted what looks like a really scientific wage system. It un- dertakes to adapt wages continuously and automatically to price levels, so that any emplove will be able to buy same things with his income, and live according to the same standard. no matter how the cost of necessaries fluctuates. A definite wage s is adopted as the starting point. Then the wagzes sub- sequently. from month to month, are readjusted according to some set of estimat like “Bradstrect's Index Figures.” These figures represent the general price movement. up or down, of 96 items that enter into the living expenses of family. They cover hreadstuffs, livestock, provisions, f_ngiv:. hides. leather, textiles, metals, chemicals, drugs. fuel, building ma- terials, ete.. and are regarded as a Very accurate register of variations in the cost of living. When the index | fisw_re for any particular month shows | & rise in the price level. a propor- percentage is added as a bonus to the emplove's wages. If the figure goes down, there is a propor- a i us isn't so | | people to tionate reduction, intelligent emplove fairness of the plan satisfied with it. Wages and salaries, of course, not be made altogether There has to be provision the raising of pay according to in- creased ability or proof of special talent from time to time. Then, when this merited raise is given, the bonus is figured on the new rate of pay. Very likely the ideal way would he to have a money system which, oper- ated automatically. a dollar would al- ways buy the same amouni of the ame commodities. But as long as the purchasing power of the dollar varies s it does, this sliding wage scale looks 1 pretty satisfactory ay. rangement.

Jus* 2ow, no doubt, he isn't in any great demand, as FEurepe has other things to think about than gathering in the tourist's change; the tourist would be in the W eating scarce food, utilizing scarce fuel, and in general being a liability instead of an asset. Europe much in need of money now as the things money will buy, and the tourist's money isn't as valuable as the wealth he would consume. But that will all come shortly. Be- fore the war the United States could be counted on to spend $100,000,000 a year in Kurope, a fact so well known that the tourist was always a factor in any calculations of interna- tional business and trade balances in which the United States was involved. The American touist was one of Eu- rope’s best industries, and milions upon millions were invested in the various devices to get his money. These enterprises will be in full blast as soon as they can be re-established. Of that there can be little doubt. The European is no sentimentalist. Life at the best in Europe is a little too harsh for the majority of the permit them to indulge in any expensive notions. Your French- man, vour Belgian, your Swiss, in- di ually are all a canny lot, al- ways wiiling to turn an honest penny, as everyone knows who has had ex- perience with them. They are none the brave and heroic races, be- cause bravery and thrift have nothing to do with prodigality or thrift. The declaration that FEurope does not want America to come to the battlefields to satisfy “vulgar curi- osity’” was very probably uttered by a sentimental American who Thas taken a little too seriously to heart the general tone of international dis- course, and it is altogether likely that there will be a discreet refutation of this idea as soon as tourist travel to Furope can be restored. Furope managed to tolerate our “yulgar curiosity” for a good many vears and it would be strange now if, when Burope will be under the obli- gation to pay us $500:000,000 a year interest, she should be too haughty to take a part of it back from our tourists.

Little Denmark, demurely declining Schleswig, which the conference so benevolently offers to her, is like the spectacle of 8 year old Tommie grave- 1y refusing the piece of apple pie which auntie offers him, with the po- lite remark that it looks nice, but that the apples might be green. Perhaps the Danish fears regarding the decisian of the Schleswig Ger- ‘mans may seem far-fetched 1t may, at first glance, appear most improb- able that these Germans would re- nounce their nationality. Rut consid- er the peace treaty. That yoke is not going to bear lightly on the necks of those who remain under the German flag, and a decision for separation from the fatherland ceases to he such an improbable result of the proposed plbeiscite. There is something else nominated in the bond. Southern Schleswig bor- ders the Kicl canal. In the eves of the Allies it is extremely desirable that one of these banks should be Danish. If the Danes seem guilty ingratitude, their apology found in the 14 points of rank can be The Education (Ansonia Board. Sentinel.) Governor Holcomb has made public his appointment of the new state board of education. consisting of nine members, which is to wrestle with the problem of improving educational methods in the state. The selections of the governor arc such as to insure public confidence in the new board. He has picked men of such ability and experience in educational matters that it is cvident that they can and will render efficient service to the state. All of the members of the old board retire to private life. The new board will inherit none of the squab- bles and vexatious problems of the ald board. It can start with a clean slate and this gives it a firm vantage point from which to enter upon the task of building up a system of edu- cation in Connecticut second to none in the coutry. We. can trust such men as Dean Frederick §. Jones of New Haven and Yale, William A. Shanklin of Wes- levan, Charles L. Ames of Hartford, principal: of the Brown school. and others of the same tvpe of sanity and broad educational experience. to deal adequately with state educational prohlems including that of Americani- zatian of the alien element in the state. The governor has done his part and the new board can be relied upon to do its part in reorganizing state edu- | cational methods and equalizing the opportunity for education in both city and country districts.
