But even far back of our neighbor- ing grandmother it seems that histor- ians agree that once a beautiful daughter of the Nile discovered that a bit of weed found on the banks of the famous river made her face glow with the same lovely color as that of the rubifes about her neck. Her slaves gathered much ‘o! the weed and man fell before the radiant color of her face forever afterward. o, . 2 Britain Heral WERALD PUBLISHING COMPANY, Proprietors datly (Sunday excepted) at 4:15 . at Hersid Butlding, 85 Church street $8.00 & Year. $2.00 Three Months. 8¢ a Month, 8t the Post Office at New Britaln 8 Becond Class Mall Matter, 926 ’0 only profitable advertising medium in the ecity.

Matters that ®re to go before the ' Council have usually to be talked over beforchand with a selected cotery of councilmen . and the Mayor, have to be “fixed.” Board proceedure also must be talked over and ‘“fixed” with the Mayor be- fore anything is done.

News comes also that the Mogcow government will have to order a change in the de- mands of the head of the. Russian famine relief comimittee before "“he will consent to the distribution 'as arranged by America. Comment was made some time ago on the apparently condescending at- titude of Russia in stating that it was willing to accept American aid. That attitude has ( been continued. There is no hint of gratitude; there is no gratitude felt—by the ‘“higher up” in Russia who are not suffering. They seem, in their manner, more heartless toward those of their own count:y than are the American people toward the sufferers of the torelsn land. A complete reversal of attitude must come before there will be any hearti- ness in the humane act planned by a great man and a great organization of this country.
