Places should be ready for them to dress and ugdress where their sense of modesty may not be blunted. an imposition upon the inno- cence of childhood to allow this situa- tion to exist longer. It is a crime against the purity, unstained, which they bring into the world at their birth, And something should be done to- morrow! No longer should it be said that New Britain allows her children to bare their nakedness where a chance passer-by may see. It would be almost as great a crime to take from these chlldren this chance—perhaps the only chance they will have throughout the long, hot summer—to’gain daily an hour of happiness in the water. That is out of the questfon. What is to be dpne? For years the park commissioners have been adyocating the bullding of a prétty shelter at the North end of the pool Every effort should be miade to put this plan into execution. The structure would be a shelter from the rain or sun for thosé who watched. It would add to rather than mar the beauty of the spot. Underneath this shelter,' hidden from sight on the northern slope, would be comfort stations and sep- arate places where the boys and girls could get ready for the water. This plan must eventually be adopt- ed, and a beginning of its execution should be carried out at the first possible moment. But it seéms it cannot be done now—finances! No cheap, temporary, unsightly structure should be.put up. Onca that wera dona the cry would come, when the proper plans were presented for a permanent building, and money obtainable that “The place they have now ii good enough.” But something must be done—done as quickly as the proper authority to spend a few dollars may be obtained. Tents should be placed near the pool! Those tents should be located in places where they would be least ob- jectionable to the eyes of others than the little ones to whom they would be such a boon. Two might prove sufficient. Give the children their happiness; let them wade and swim and revel in the water. But protect their modes- ty; may they cherish that virtue. The proper, permanent structure cannot be built tomorrow. No tem- porary building should threaten the chance of gaining that pretty perma- nent shelter. Tenta would not so threaten it. So let the tents go up as quickly as the thing may ba done. New Britain, realizing the situation, should be ashamed to let it continue. AMERICA WINS, America has regained the interna- t.onal polo trophy by defeating Greal Britain for the second time. Polo is not a poor man's game. The ownership of the polo ponies, obtain- ed and retained ay considerable ex- pense because of their value in sport is_pot for the man of even moderate meang. But the poor man and the man of moderate means are big enough to be glad that those in a position to do s8 have so ably represented this coun- try which belongs to ¢the rich and poor alike. All, rich and poor, of the leisure or of the working class, will join in the satisfaction gain®d from another proof of the superiority of pur country in the field of contest. Strength, quickness, courage and determination—all the manly quali- tles are required to excel in this anch of sport These qualities are possessed by Americans in all walks of life, to a greater or less degree. The men who represented America in these inter- national matches are as ready to rec- ognize such characteristics possessed ¥ those who are not familiar with that sport, as are the latter to give praise where praise is due. The bringing back of this trophy should and will be a cause of pleas- ure to all good Americans. ADD “WHITE 1 Es.” As a postscript to the comment in these columns yesterday on the mat- ter of the wisdom of gcrossing the street between the white lines placed, on the pavement for this purpose, one ‘JEST RUMINATIN (Robert Russell.) When that town clock strikes out the hour that says it’s time to quit an’ you put on your hat, to leave, you stop to think a bit about the things you've planned to do—about the day that's passed—are you anticipatin’ fun an’ has the day gone f ? That ruminatin® pipe o' mine don't want to ‘“‘preach’ a mite: it's jest a-wond'rin' how to best en- joy the summer night—jest how to stait the leisure hours pre- pared to make the most o’ comin’ fun without the fear o’ seein’ some ol' ghost o° work you've slighted, work not done—the ghost o' that regret that some- thin's hangin’ over you which ain't been finished ket There's nothin’ takes away the fun o' leisure, seldom spurned, like knowin’ that your salary ain't honest work well done. This ain’t nothin’ adds to pleasure like the knowledge that you've won the right to have a lot o’ fun through work well done. This ain't no no altruistic creed; you try it out } Jjest once, an’ if it's wrong then l Socrates was certainly a dunce. | i tically impossible to do this during later hours of the day. » The resolution adopted by the Common Council indicates most of the places where these lines will be placed, but, as a precaution against the human characteristic of not be- ing able to provide for every emerg- ency, and recognizing the fact that after practical working of the plan it may be found that crossing places are needed at points not mentioned in the resolution, that resolution provides also that white lines may be placed at such points deemed by the police department to ba necessary. Already it is startlingly evident that there is need for white lines where Court street joina Mam. A safe passageway is needed at this point as. much as at any other in the ocity Thé resolution omits mention of this needed crossing. There must be a passage here at tne place where cars stop and remain sometimes for some minutes. A person must be made to feel safe in crossing to the aisle of safety between the ropes there, and from that aisle of safety to the east side of Main street. At présént there are no white lines between the north and south end of the busy portion of Main street about the center. It would be ridiculous to require peérsons to walk to either of these points from a department store, for instance, in order to cross the street safely. It may be asserted with confidence that the police department will con- sider this fact as coming within the general power given it under the res- olution. The lines will be placed to accommodate people at this point. Meanwhile, remember about Rome —and Néw Britain. A supposedly humorous column has n6 réom for mention of the man who has twice refused to accept a fortune. Many public spirited citizens are glad the truth concerning spirits is not public. Pipe dreams change to nightmares when the odor comes second-handed. Some animals may shy at the white lines on the streets—and not all ani- mals walk on four feet. % Usually it is necessary to hear both sidés of a question before learning the whole truth, and 6ften one's conclusion, even (hen, should be taken with a grain of sait. A rose by any other name would not smell as sweet in these days of mental suggestion. “1t" réquires a very small donation these days to obey the injunction: ‘‘Give Until It Hurts;" in fact the very thought brings pain.

But he would not exchange his lot Despite his tribulations; The rose has thorns—at home forgot Are woes—in fascinations. 25 YEARS AGO (From The Herald of That Date.) The Vega society will hold its an- nual outing at Lake Compounce to- morrow. The assessors are making the usual tour of the town preparatory to mak- ing out the new grand list. Yesterday was termed as being the longest day of the year. A. J. Sloper is visiting in New York for the next few days. H.. D._Humphrey and family are taking a drive through Litchfield for reveral days. Carl Youngblad #s attending a wedding at Hartford today.
