Ambassador Ricci will come to this city Sunday. The representative of a friendly and admired nation to our country is to be the guest of this city. He will gpeak at a becal theater Sun- day morning. He will be welcomed with appropriate ceremonies. It remains for the people of New Britaln to show that friendiv nation their appreciation of that friemdship, the admiration in which. that nation is held. This, the people may‘do by joining heartily in the plans made to Amb; dor from Italy This they accord to the the welcome due him. should do. A great crowd should be at Frank- lin Square about 9:30 a. m. to wel- come him; a great crowd should be present at the ceremonial greeting of the Ambassador by the Mayor on the steps of City Hall about ten o’'clock, and a great crowd should w»zar him speak in the theater. It Is not often that the people of New Britain have the chance to see and hear the official representative of a foreign nation. The opportunity should be appreciated at any time. But this chance should assume an aspect of especial importance because of the splendid character of the man who will come, because of the situa. tion Italy, the land he represents, oc- cupies in her relations to us. Whatever we may believe league of nations, we should be eager to show our desire to pay respect to the man who comes to us as spokes- man for a nation with which we have so recently linked arms in a against inhumanity and oppression. New Britain should do its part, through its cordial reception of the Ambassador, to foster the feeling of amity among nations which, it s hoped, will some day lead to perpet- ual peace. of a war WELD, MR. PRESIDENT? The letter of Hamilton Holt, maga- zine editor and pro-league republi- can, written to President Harding, contains a short paragraph which epitomizes the situation: *“If you de- lay much further,” it says, in regard to the “association” suggested by President Harding when he was Can- didate Harding, “people everywhere will inevitably conclude that you have no concrete plan at all, or else that you propose top ut party nar- mony above world welfare.” Therein lies the tragedy of the per- petual regular party man. Were President Harding to stop and ask himself this question: “Do I place party harmony above world welfare?” he could not but answer “No"—to himsel. He would not be able to retain his self respect for a moment; he would consider himself unfit for the great position he cuples. Undoubtedly he would assert to himself that when the chance came for success he would go on with the idea of the association which he de- scribed in an indefinite way, which would take the place of the league he opposed moderately—the league some of his party assoclates denounced un- qualifiedly. But he will hesitate to ask himself that question as long as “party har- mony” remains in the balance. He has taken a few tentative steps— has indicated his belief in the ne- cessity of a closer relation with oth- er nations, only to be brought up short, probably by the mysterious suggestion that reaches the ears of all presidents, and which influenced him to lean slightly in the opposite direction as he did in his address which cited Canada and the United States living side by side without re- sort to a super power to settle their differences. President Harding's opponents while the campaign was on insisted that he had no definite plan. His words practically admitted this. Only his most ardent supporters believed that he had something more concrete in his mind than it seemed expedient to describe—and those ardent sup- porters are beginning to throw up their hands in regard to this matter and are “allowing” that they were wrong. The whole trouble is that there is no way of knowing just how much progress the President would like to make and just how much he is held back because of his desire for “party harmony.” oc- DISILLUSIONED. There is tragedy in the sight of a man disillusioned. A year ago the Superintendent of Chicago bathing beaches told women bathers, in regard the costumes they should wear: “Let sciences be your guides.” Today he says, sadness in his eye, new wisdom in 'his heart: “Some of them didn’t leex' to have any con- science.” So the man disillusioned has to your con- or- (Rober; Russell.) You've got a fight upon your hands; discouragements high; it scems you can't get over 'em no matter how you try. You think you get a good excuse for throwin' up your hands an’ seckin’ out ob- livion where failure's spirit stands. You mope in melan- choly blues; you lost 'most all your “pep’; you feel you d deserve success—you haven't got no “rep.”” You wonder how you've lived along these many, many years; you feel in- clined to go an’ shed some crocodilish tears. Wake up! Get hep! Jest grit your teeth; throw back your hangin’ head, an' realize that while there's life o' hope cannot be dead. Don’t drop the fight; jest bat- tle on; be confident you'll win; take for your creed the slogan that to fail is mortal sin. Don’t overestimate your strength, but build your weakness up— no mollycoddle ever won since Hector was a pup. An' when vou've gained success smile back at days long since passed by—when you'd a fight upon risa your hands—when obstacles rosa high. } Try This On Your Wise Friend A, B, C and D start from the same point to walk around a one mile track. A travels 5 miles an hour, B 4 miles an hour, C 3 miles an hour and D 2 miles an hour. How long before all four meet, again at the starting point? Answer to yesterday’s: You are 30 and your friend 10. Five years ago you were 25 and the friend 5. her actions has not come. If the mind of every individual were open to the understanding of every other; if the motives and thoughts therein might be seen and respected or cen- sured, many acts which seem im- proper would assume a different as- pect, and apparently seemly acts would .be shown to be quite the re- verse. But as long as minds and thoughts are hidden—as long as the effects of Adam’s tasting of the Apple remain, there will have to be laws to gov- ern all of us, the evil and the good- minded. Any person who feels oth- erwise about it is doomed to disil- lusionment. Headline “Vote of Women Worry- ing Men” would state another truth were the words “Vote of” to be omit- ted. o The accordion is sweet—especially when pleated in the skirt of an at- tractive woman. The longing for longer skirts has been long coming, and may not last long. Present woman's style would have made the old stile less inconvenient than it was under ancient styles. Those who have no success crack- ing jokes among intelligent people are more fortunate with “nuts.” Taste for brown is becoming popu- lar as the dark brown taste disap- pears. Having a lot to do is a lot better these days than having a lot to sell. Lights and Shadows By John J.

Lieutenant Colonel Thompson at- tended the commencement exercises at Cheshire academy today. Lieutenant Rawlings attended the funeral of Captain Bissel at Manches- ter yesterday. The road on the east side of Shuttle Meadow lake will probably be straightened by the water commis- sioners. The special town meeting at Turner hall last night acted favorably on the settlement of claims for the old sol- diers. The old veterans were each awarded $100. J. M. Hallinan was given permis- sion to raise his flag walk on Myrtle street, five inches. A social time will be given at the Black Rock Mission tonight. STORIES CENSORED All Religious or Mpythical Subjects Are Banned in Model Tale for Rus- sian Children. London, June 16.—All religious or mythological subjects are banned from a competition for the best short story written for Russian children,| which has been organized by the Mos- cow soviet commissariat for educa- tion, says a dispatch to the Morning Post. Additional conditions for competi- tors as published by the soviet news- papers are that the children's tales must be devoid of all elements of superstition, and must contain no mention of angels, fairies and evil geniuses. Kings and princes must be described as oppressors of the masses, “such as they are in reality.” As suitable subjects are suggested the future of mankind, the achieve- ments of science, technical skill and industry, while tales describing the life of the working masses will be especially welcome. ITALIANS TO MEET. A meeting of the United Italian so- cieties together with those of that race who are not affiliated with any of the societies, will be held this eve- ning at 8 o’clock in the Elihu Bur- ritt school. Plans for Ambassador Ricei’s reception will be outlined. FACTS AND FANCIES | — BY ROBERT QUILLEN — J The best explanation of America's influence is America's affluence.

One reason why modern laundries tear the buttons off is because they are sewed on in the modern way. Court: A place were a woman criminal is given the once-over by a jury before being prompted to the movies. And so there is a screech owl on the White House lawn. We thought that noise was made by disappointed oflice seekers. After the sermon, six persons re- member the text and three hundred remember the grammatical error the preacher made. The waiter at least has the grace to look sheepish when he presents a ninety-cent bill for lamb chops. The right side of the brain controls the left side of the body, but the tongue hangs in the middle and wags at will. This agitation to supply husbands for Europe causes the American spin- nster to reflect bitterly that charity begins at home.
