He saw himself as those who sat close to the ringide would have seen him had they possessed the quick eye of the camera. There can be no question Carpentier came away from ater in which he saw those a much better fighter than he had been. There is no question but that he noted chances he had missed, er- rors he had committed. He was a “sadder but wiser man.” Only those persons who have seen themselves pictured on the “movie” screen know the sensation of surprise that somes when one is able to see Timself as others see him. He may not be aware of mannerisms he possesses and which the screen seems to ac- centuate; he may be entirely ignor- ant of the general appearance he Ppresents to others. The mirror tells him nothing of these facts. When a person stands before the mirror he is looking ac ‘himself, and involuntarily he is af- fected by that reflection. He cannot be natural before the mirror. ‘When acting before the camera a person must be as natural as possible. No matter how he may try to “pose’” he is bound to display some of those habitual mannerisms or eccentricities which mark him. Perhaps it makes little difference how we appear to others, if only our dceds and our hearts are right. tl‘he fighter, the golf player, the baseball player,, the professiona 1 dancer— these would be aided in their work or play by a close study of thenselvesl as seen in action. They might lear'x’ how to avoid errors of play; thay might learn how to be more graceful or effective. But few others would be benefited unless their actions be their stock in trade. Undoubtedly the cinema will be made use of some day by such persons for their benefit. It would bring wonderful results for the betterment of the world should ihe day come when the action of the train, the trend of thought, the at- mosphere created by our lives could be shown to us as they are seen by others. but that the the- pictures, SELECTING LABORERS. ‘When the sun is hot, when men are hungry, irritation comes. Almost anything that happens that displeases them will bring complaint. There are hundreds of have always lived in this city, have helped to make it grow, who have helped to make it the city it is and who have worked hard always, who now-are out of work. The city, their city, has organized an employment The men who are attending to finding and giving out jobs paid, in salaries, by the money some of these men who are now out of work, perhaps. Or, if others of these New Britain people, owing to the scarcity of work, have been obliged to sell their real estate on which they have previously paid taxes, they, at least for many years, have helped support the city by payment of taxes—they helped its growth. They—some of them—are “hard up” now. The first duty of the Municipal Employment agency is to New Britain people, for these and many other reasons. Even though a man has never paid taxes here, this city may be his home. He may have been striving to do his share in the activi- tles of the city with the hope that sometime he may become a “solid citizen” of this city. His interests are here. New Britain people should be taken care of in the matter of giving out work before others. This, it is believed, has been the attitude of the Municipal Employ- ment Bureau except in rare cases where service in the army or navy of the country, and the pitiable con- dition of the applicant, has led to ex- ception being made which would not be objected to by anyone Kknowing the circumstances. It has been found that there is a feeling among a certain race of who who men and is running bureau. are of have This is probably true. But reasons therefor are partially given here. ‘When one speaks of long-time resi- dents of New Britain one does are all Americans. citizens of this city women of many races. Among the I are men They who have come here than they. Every effort is native born men and women. more than overnight, The board of living possible charities for race. making Naturally bureau, despite the fact that who manage by care of everyone. look to the city’s own first. The state recognizes this situation. the situation, people in New Britain, that men of other races are being given work, while they are discriminated against. to give work and care to those resi- dents of that city who need it, within its boundaries. For this reason the state helps the city in caring for those to whom the city owes no ‘duty other than a group of kindly, humane people would owe to the suffering 'stranger. The state will pay for most of the food given to the comparative stranger here, some of whom are now complaining against discrimination. Both the moral and the legal Quty of the city is clear. Care for own first; then do what it can those who have no claim upon it. The city employment bureau, sym- pathizing and efficient, is doing just this. its for VACATIONISTS, BUY HERE. There i1 a tendericy among thosa planning to go away on the sum- mer’s vacation, to remark conceérn- ing some article they need: “Oh, I'l I-°s through New York, and T'll get that thing there.” Often this is rather an excuse for doing a little “shopping” in some other city, rather fhan a decision based on wisdom.. There is no intention to suggest here that a person ought to buy something he or she does not want, merely because this i3 tha town.”” “home But the suggestion is made that as a rule if a desired article may ba found in this city, the’ purchaser will do much better by getting it hera than by delaving the purchase in the hope that he or she will find it better or cheaper elsewhere. 5 In travelling through a great city with which one is not thoroughly fa- miliar, the would-be purchaser is very apt to have little time to seek out the section of the city where articles may be bought cheaply; or, il a higher quality is desired, the same rule ap- plies. © Even if one is familiar with the city to be visited, arguments fav- oring “buying here” stand. Passing through New York, for in- stance, one would be very apt to have time only to visit the most handy stores—perhapa on Fifth avenue—and would be chagrined by the prices be- ing paid there for things procurable at a modest price here. A shopping expedition in your own city may be made quickly. One knows about where the desired arti- cles r:ay be found, and in what part of the city they may be found inex- pencive or the reverse. A shopping expedition in a great city' consumes a great deal of time. Vzcation hours would be cut short and quite possibly vacation money would be depleted considerably. This, to say nothing of the uncomfortable feeling that one is starting on a long anticipated vacation, somewhat un- prepared—with some loose ends left dangling. And all this, too, without consider- ing the great fact that New Britain people, in order to keep the New Britain shops what they should be, in order to do unto their city as they would have their city do unto them, and to patronize those whom they should patronize under every the- ory of right and justice, should “Shop at Home.” WATERBURY JITNEY TROUBLE.
