No one cares to minimize the im- portance of the health department; it must be supported in such a manner in business nd it is not an Harris should take these facts consideration and form his judgment accordingly. Economy is the word of the minute. One can easily understand why Dr. Harris prepared his budget. He is en- thusiastic about his position, a fact that is in his favor, and wants to make the New Britain health depart« ment the best in the state. This is a laudable ambition and in it he, will have the support of all right-thinking men and women. However, sound busi- ness judgment dictates a policy of re- trenchment where possible and not a dollar should be spent that is not needed. Mayor Curtis should bend every cf- fort to keep expenses down.

During the past few weeks a certain in Germany's mouth mysterious person known anonymously her pay through the as “an agent of the police” and by various other high sounding titles has i crept in as a character in that form of literature which flows from the pencil of the police court reporter. He has been instrumental in securing evi- dence against violators of the Eighteenth amendment to the Consti- tution which, according to the mythol- ogy of the day, prohibits the manufac+ ture or sale of beverages containing more than a slight trace of alcohol. Althouph he appears to be quite an important character .in the tragedies that are enacted in police court, he never appears in person but is spoken of in terms of fond endearment by officers of the law who take the wit- ness stand to testify against ‘“‘hooch mongers.” x “An agent of the police” would smell as unsavory by any other name. In unsweetened English he is known as a “stool pigeon” and his standing.in society is almost on a par with that of a_typhoid germ..

There are few pretty men in the world, and perhaps that explains why a woman cleses her eves when she is kissed. Strangely enough, there is a world of bappiness in homes where the con- versation is never illuminated with an idea. Still, the daughter of an English lord has no greater social advantages than the daughter of an American landlord.
