It Is indeed that parents are ®o situated that they have to leuve children and work—that any children to deprived of the daily mother tather.

Probably in most instances parents would never make a practice of leav- ing their children in the care of others daily unless they pelled do so. And children the best especially mothers who have the con- stant care of them night and day, should take the best of care of them- selves—and this must necessitate an occasional rest from all care. The day nursery is brought to the attention of the people of this city that the splendid work it does in fur- nishing a haven where the little ones may be safe while their natural guardlans work for them, or while they must be separated from them because of other necessary reasons, may be more appreciated. It is the “way out'’ for many, prob- ably hundreds; it makes living and working possible for many adults who, because of It are able to bring more material comforts into their homes. Earnestly is it to be commended. were com- to yet, to give of care, parents, THE CORNERSTONE. Yesterday afternoon, in the purest light kngwn to man—the glow of a brillighe® sun—the cornerstone of a new. church was laid in New Britain. The thoughts, the hopes, the ideals which influenced those who officiatea at and who attended the ceremonial of the real beginring of the material toundation of St. Mark's, partook, as far as is humanly possible, of the character of that light from the skies. Not entirely was it the thought of hbe struggles bravely made by this parish since its organization in 1836 which brought a feeling admiration interwoven with the devotional, "and bared the head during the services. Not entirely was it a congratulatory spirit which impelled the one who joined, In those services to remember the growth and progress of the parish materially as evidenced by its passing from the first little place of worship to this fine, new structure. More than all it was the sense of the Presence there threugh love of and devotion to whom men and wom- en and children had K been strong enough to gain this tangible evidence of His power on earth. To those Intimate with all the his- tory of the parish and its efforts which have culminated in this mate- rial evidence of success, there came a personal feeling of humble satis- faction that such work had pros- pered, To all who recognize the awfulness of the thought of living in a community, town or city where things religious are forgotten or put away in the press of strenuous, sometimes sordid, life, there comes a greater appreciation, on such an occasion, of the absolute necessity of Christianity in the world. Without it life would be chaotic; without it there would .come little that was fine, beautiful, noble. No man or woman, whether he or she enters a church at all through- out the year, will deny the value, the need, of a reecognifion of the relig- fous. Not only are those to be congratu- lated who, living today, have made it possible to bring intdo view another beautiful reminder of thd, presence of the Deity in our lives—a reminder which should have its influence for good upon all who view the new church; but the memory is to be honored—the memory of those who gave such practical help in the work, and the memory, of those who, almost a century ago, made the beginnings of that spiritual growth, the material evidence of which will be so inade- quately represented by the new church, beautiful and splendid as it will be to the human eye. CITY CARS, At the instigation of the Mayor the matter of the muMicipal garige and the ¢éars of the different depart- ments was discussed at a meeting of members of the departments inter- ested and others who had readon to know something of the cars and the manner in which the municipal gar- age Is conducted. . Complaints ¢f the ‘way in which some ‘of ‘the cars have been used and of othér matters in connection with the municipal garage have reached the ears not only of the Mayor but those of Chairman Patrick F. King, of the board of Police Commiissioners. He has been anxious, as chairman of the board, to get at the bottom of things, as Dr. Zwick, of the Health children were left there|department and as others have been y to remain while moth- lances fathers, worked Interested.

Apparently no responsibility has been placed on anyone. But is it satisfactory to know that the matter has been taken up. To make criticism of value some- thing constructive should be suggest- ed. No one person may be called to task at this time; it is intended than no one should here be criticised. But the suggestion is made that much of the responsibility for the condition of the city cars should rest with those who drive them and th&® mechanic. The latter can do nothing, or very little, without the co-operation of the driver§ of the cars. Those who drive can do little without the mechanic’s co-operation. It should be the duty of those who operate the city cars to call the at- tention of the mechanic to any trouble with the car, and it should be the duty of the mechanic to try to rem- edy the defect before it becomes “hronic. If the mechanic is absent at the time the car is returned, and thus the driver may not speak of the car trouble, that driver should make it a point to let the mechanic know of the difficulty before the car is used again. Perfect co-operaiton and care would do away with much of the trouble and would save the city considerable expense. And it is be- lieved co-operation will be given gladly. It goes without saying that use of city cars except on city business, should be prohibited absolutely. A car sometimes may be legitimately used “after hours.” As a rule, how- ever, such after hour use is not legiti- mate. It must be stopped. —_—— Headline, “Gets Line on Dempsey,” suggests that his enemies think a “chain” instead of “line” should be used to draw him into some fights. —_— You think of land; You thing of sea, But nothing much inspires The weary hand To poetry When that hot hand perspires.

One of the surprises of the period of business depression has been th continued buying power of the publié in spite of greatly reduced income. It is true that the'buyers’ strike” brought about a reversal of business conditions, but the reserve buying strength of the people spread out thin has prevented the absolutestagnation of trade and has kept a great many tradesmen “treading water.” ‘Without going deeply into the sub- ject, it would seem that the shrink- age in the income of the average man, being so precipitate, would force him to desist from buying anything ex- cept the essentials of life. An inves- tigation will show, however, that he is doing more than this. His wife and children are well clothed and he is far from being in rags and tatters. His table may not groan under a ten course dinner when meal time comes, but he has enough to eat. Frequent- ly he has an automobile and by cut- ting down on the weekly allowance is enabled to have short outings at the wheel of his “galloping six.” Taker all in all, Mr. Average American is in tairly comfortable circumstances and his reserve buying power is still strong. Now for the answer: Liberty Bonds. No, they haven't all been sold, nor have they been cornered by the bank- ers. According to one depressing pic- p ture which calamity howlers insist on circulating, the workingman who bought Liberty Bonds during the war is now peddling them along the curb like fruit dealers in New York's Low- er East Side peddle bananas. - This is far from being true, even conceding that many people have been forced to sell. The latest returns on the Lib- erty Bond situation ate based on con- ditions in December, 1920;a report of which has been recently made public. This report showed that during the war, there were sold in the United States, bonds and federal certificates of various types valued at $21,000,- 000,000—twenty-one billion:* dollars. Accordingso the report as of Decem- ber, 1920,{ national banks owned slightly more than $2,000;000,000 worth; state banks, trust-companies, etc., held slightly less than $1,000,000,- 000. This brings forcibly to attentiom that the people—all the Smihs, Joneses and Johnsons in the country —held government war certificates valued at nearly $18,000,000,000 as recently as six months ago. No doubt, part of this has changed hands, but it is such a tremendous amount that by far the greater part must still remain in the possession of the original buyers. Gradually it may be liquidated by the present holders as the depression continues, but¢ today it constitutes a reservoir of FACTS AND FANCIES | — BY ROBERT QUILLEN — Cain wouldn’'t concede that he was his brother’s keeper.

When he is poor he feels brow-beaten in the presence of his boss; and when he is rich he feels that way in the presence of his butler.

An inferior race is always hated most by those members of a superior race who are not very sure of their superiority. Some people are failures because they devote most of their energy to looking for chances to bring suit for damages.
