While a woman may have many legiti- mate duties outside her home, while certainly she has a right to enjoy her- self away from it, and while the wo- man to in business is most in many praisworthy instances, woman is about the home and has keener insight into its needs than man. She will be far better able to formulate the needs: she will be more energetic in seeing that laws beneficial to homes and the dwellers therein are passed. Always the justice of the woman’s cause and always sayving that its success is enevitable, one may still fail to see what rush there was about it while these vital matters are pend- ing. But they will be tal matters, and waman will be on the right and health will be more safe with the woman possessing the vote than they have ever been. And home and health are pretty important ma ters in this life. seeing always vi- al- ways Home side.

This is the information emanating from the office of the department of health in city hall. It is reported to the health authorities that a number of residents are careless about the size of containers in which refuse is kept and consequently which breed illness are fostered. -In its plea, the health department should have the support of the head of every landlord and head of every family. Every effort should be made to keep premises free from garbage for the general health of the community. In return for this co-operation, the people should insist that the health department take proper precautions against a repetition of 1 winter's situation when garbage was collected in some places not more than once a month. Admitting that the collectors were hampered by the elements, that excuse should not suffice during the coming winter months. Bad was not entirely to blame. Even dur- ing mild spells there was an apparent lack of interest on the part of the men employed to keep the garbage cans empty. It is understood that the contracton met with difficulty because he was unable to engage enough work- men. A heavy bond should be re- quired of all future contractors and the bond should be declared forfeited if the city fails to receive the service for which it pays. oae During the past weeck interest was centered throughout the nation on Governor Holcomb. of Connecticut. the national committes, asked the can party, Chairman Will H. Hays of the natioal committee, asked the Connecticut executive to summon a special meeting of the legislature to consider extending the right of suf- frage to women. M. Hays advanced a number of reasonable arguments, although keeping well away from any discussion of political expediency. For a few hours many of the women of the state who are interested in se- curing equal political rights with men hoped that the govertior would see his way clear to call the legisla- ture in session and have a frank and open discussion of the question. Few who know the governor well thought he would comply with Chairman Hay's demand and history will bear them out in their forecast, The meet- ing will not be called. Governor Hol- comb has settled this definitely by his admission to a newspaperman that he is in no mood to step aside and be stampeded in the cause of suffrage. New Britain republicans were dis- appointed, if not surprised, by Gover- nor Holcomb's attitude. They admitted that he was in a dilemma-—he+ had previously declared that no emergen- cy existed which would warrant his summoning the legislature. They ex- press the opinion that Chairman Hays was guilty of bad tactics in thus open- ly challenging the executive of Conn- ecticut. Conceding that such a frank demand as that issued by the G. O. P. leader may have a moral effect upon the rest of the country, they point to the fact that the result of the tilt between Governor Holcomb and Mr. H; might serve to upset Connecticut and thus lase fourteen votes in the electoral college which will choose the next president. Four- teen votes may be sufficient to decide the battle this fall, despite the opti- mistic predioction of both republican and democratic camps. No party is overlooking a single vote in its un- der-the-surface work. New Britain re- publican leaders regret that M. Hays found it necessary to place the gov- ernor in such an unpleasant position. Should the state of Tennessee ratify ' the woman suffrage amendment (it is weather - Il i 7 A f ', X% o 5 i I TO GRAND MA’S AAD ON THE A AND ' i d 1 possible that action will be taken be- fore this appears in print) the sup- porters of Governor Cox can hold up the democratic governor of that state as the savior of the cause and point 1o Governor Holcomb as the man who tried to wreck it. e New Britain Poles are scanning the newspapers to learn the latest information concerning the fate of their native land which is- thret- ened by the Russian Bolsheviki. Prob- ably no other city its size boasts of so many native Poles or Americans of Polish decent as does New Britain whete their strong muscles and iron blood are used to good advantage in the hardware industry. While most of them are content ta remain in Amer- ica and provides homes here for their children, realizing the advantages over Europe, all are interested in the war news from the Warsaw front. To many Poles, the names of cities figuring in the days news are familiar and their capture by the Bolsheviki is regarded with deep sorrow. Presidents Wilson’'s attitude, as re- vealed in his proclamation on the Po- lish-Russian situation, has done much to strengthen the nearts of the Poles of New Britain. With his customary firmness the president has declared against abandoning Poland to her fate and has promised to take every meas- ure consistent with American tradi- tion and law to assist the Poles in their Gethsemane. In his proclama- tion President Wilsan apparently has the solid support of all political parties; this opinion is formed after reading several of the leading repub- lican organs which have not been any toa lenient with his administration. It is the belief in New Britain circles that the president could not do other- wise after the Poles had so valiantly rallied to the support of the war not only through subscriptions to Liber! bands but also in man pawer. To aban- don Poland in her hour of stress would be un-American and inhuman. eagerly ese They were young. They had evidently married. They were going away on their va- cation, as revealed by their suitcases and bags. The Arch street car was proceeding ' toward the center of the city when the-couple walked out and signalled to the motorman to stop. He applied the air. The car was braught to a halt. Just then the husband espied a jiney bus approaching in the distance. also traveling toward the city. They stepped back and decided not to take the trolley. For a minute the motor- man glared at them, tried to check his rising anger but finally exploded: “Well, you people certainly have = nerve.” Then swinging the control handle around he sent the car along, . still ynuttering.
