In connection with the¢ League and the coming conference on limitation of armaments it is agreeable to read what Leon Bourgeols, ¥rench delegation said yesterday in a speech before the Assembly concern- ing the attitude of the League to- ward the United States.

Apropos of the remarks by police- men and jitneymen, as published westerday's Herald, concerning troubles in trying to make #afe for pedestrians, and pertaining #lso to the numerous suggestions made for Safety First Week, there @omes news that one jitney organiza- flon has expelled a member, not in Mew Britain, for improper actions or mere accusation thereof. The Northeastern Transportation @ssociation has asked the Public Util- ftfes association suspend the li- in their things to eense of one of its members. It was voted to expel the man from the or- ganization and it was voted to draft & resolution, to be signed by 21 mem- Bers (all the remaining members) and #ent to the Public Utilities Commis- Mlon asking that the of the Meoused be suspended The former president ganization stated that expelled because of dam tlons made against him within the month. “We want to keep the nam of our assoclation free from scandal, he sald, “and to run it like any other business.”’ In a court of law of course the gusations would have to proven In this case the Utilities Commission Wwould probably give a hearing to the pocused man, but Jitneymen are #wise” and the P. U. is "wise.”” The man will not ask for a hearing in all probability. Such prompt attention by the Jit- Reymen themselves, is an evidence of & determination to give good, clean #arvice, and cannot fail to Impress jommission.

The or- ganization is to be congratulated on its prompt action, it founded on suf- ficient evidence.

Frequently news items appear as to what the Boy Scouts are doing—sgreat plans being made executed. We all nod our heads approvingly, know- ing it ls a fine institution, and its members are ever rcady to take up any good But do and work. we appreciate that the ae- tions of Boy Scouts, as individuals, ire governed each day by what they are taught, what they learn and what they practice eagerly in pursuance of that teaching and the desire to come up to the ideals of the strong, true Scout? You notice some boy doing a kind- ly act—going out of his way to help old woman across a busy street. you think anything of it beyoad the fact that it was a nice thing to do? Do you realize this has probably be. come a habit with the boy because of the teaching he has had and has applied eagerly? Do your know that every day, and most of the time through that day, the boy scout is looking for a chance to be of service to someone or some- thing—some good cause? Do your realize that because of the Boy Scout movement a new class of boys and young men are growing up to bring into the world a lot of kindliness and helpfulness and eagerness to make things easier for everyone? If you have forgotten these things, or do not know the truth of the state- ments, have a talk with some young Scout some day and find out his idea of service as part of the day's work or play. Then take inspiration from it and gracefully “hand it” to the sincere Boy Scout and those who are interest- ed in him an Do LIKE SHYLOCK. Many of us resemble Shylock these days. 'Tis said the government is going after Bergdoll's supposed pot of gold, to hunt for which he was allowed to confinement. If there had been any person in the world other than Bergdoll who knew where the pot of gold was, there was, of course, no need of allowing him to show the to the place. If mother Bergdoll ~knows or knew where it was, why could she not get it before her son's escape as well as he? Why, therefore, is she to be com- lled to find it now? But perhaps he told her, or left a for her when he ‘“passed his home, or perhaps she does know now where it is; perhaps special messanger to Perhaps one of those men aec- claiming himself innocent of any com- plicity in his escape knows where it leave way mess; through® he has sent a her. is. But to tell the truth we are not especially interested in the pot of gold. NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD FACTS AND FANCIES — BY ROBERT QUILLEN J Mess Rations; also the fix ev thing is in. matter, love of money is industry. For that the root of all Whatever it is that troubles the world just now, it isn't ennui. When an employer goes out to buy brains, he prefers used models. Munitions manufacturers look for a heavy frost about November 11. Europe’s opinion is that the sun never sets on the American brag. ‘The louder a man howls for service, the smaller his tips will be. Only the future can tell whether Germany can come back without go- ing back. Very likely Eden lost some of its atmosphere of romance Wwhen Eveo lounfi the onion patch. “Treat 'em rough” was a good war slogan, byt it has its little faults as a foreign policy. Air programs have not yet develop- ed to the point weher any nation claims, as its shore of influence, thc atmosphere. The disarmament conference wil® suoceed in burying the hatchet, unles: the delegates bring too many axes t¢ grind. The worst feature of the divorce craze is the disposition of contending factions to divorces old barren reason. The affairs of the world are directed by men who feel ill at ease at a tea party. Some people worry about how they are going to meet their bills, and some worry about how they are going to dodge them. Another fine thing about education that it keeps the youngsters out of mischief and gives mother a little peace at home. When American business interests venture into foreign fields, our Gov- ernment grants them the unfaltering protection of God. The trouble with these practical jokers who have a keen sense of humor is that Nature denied them any other kind of sense. The man who invented and got away with the expression, “Guaranteei all wool,” did a lot to encourage the ~otton industry. Citation No. 6,754: “In the face ot present prices, and in spite of lower wages, he walked boldly into a store o buy winter shoes for his seven chil- dren.” — A physician says people are usunally “appv when tha liver is working well. He probably means flivver. We know none of us will get any of it, badly as we may need it. Shylock kept crying “My daughter or my ducats. my ducats or my daugh- ter."” We are apt to cry “Bergdoll—forget his ducats—his gold. Or we are inclined to say it in a more forceful manner. It is Bergdoll in the flesh, we want. PUBLIC WHIPPING Not far from Epping Forest, Eng- land, stands an old whipping post and stocks. They are carefully kept, and every passerby from a distant land is shown the ancient relics of the days when crime was punished through their agency. Recently, in Baltimore, U. 8C. A.. a man was whipped. He had been sentenced some time ago, after con- viction of wife beating, and has now received flve stinging blows from a cat-o’-nine-tails, administered at the hands of the Sheriff who re- gretted that he had been unable to give as thorough a whipping as the wife-beater deserved. He remarked: I would recommend a public whip- ping of wife-beaters where citizens of the city could witness the beating. The City hall plaza would make an ideal place for carrying out such a project.” The sentence was im- posed by the judge of municipal court. Somewhere in our law there may be found justification for such a sen- tence. We know of none. But we do know of the feeling which made hanging a thing to be kept from the view of the public and we know that elactrocutions are not for all to see. In the calm of reflection probabply most decent men hate the wife- beater almost more than the mur- derer. The involuigary expression that comes to a man's lips after reading of this humiliation and punishment of the wife-beater, was “Good enough for him.” Yet the provisions of the law are the better. It may do no one any good to witness such a sight. If a man is angry and brutal enough to beat his wife, he will do so no mat- ter if he has just seen such a spec- tacle—he is brutal enough to do any- thing no matter what his frame of mind has been his previously. No punishment seems fit for one guiity of wife-beating. If a man is contemplating killing a man—if a man murders another, ro‘hing of the nature of a public witnessing of a hanging will deter him—for no Lillng is a murder un- less there is premeditation and pre- meditation, in such case, would not be the premeditation affected by sights he had recently seen. There is no excuse for making brutality public for the sake of any good it might do. It does no good. It only adds te the general brutality of the world. —_——3 ““Montana is White with First Snow,” headline. There were days when nothing could make Montana “white.” It is good for men who work in the mint, that the julep is ne longer pop- ular. Headline says Tex Rickard sees end of big purses. What are the figures? Just by way of variety here are some headlines that all will enjoy reading: Evidence of Slight Improve- ment Seen in Business World; Presi- dent Harding Leader of Optimistic Chorus; Building Boom Reported in Chicago; Foreign News Reassuring; Stock and Bond Markets Firmer; King Cotton Regains Supremacy.” Trouoic it is all these are written over same story. “Youth Brutally Killed Two Men to Get Auto,” headline. One peruses the line twice to be sure it does not read “Youth Brutally Killed by Two Men in Auto.” Civilization is a queer thing; ever take time to read over front-page headlines of any paper? Here is one iA as esteemed contemporary; 24 Per- sons Drown; Death and Destruction i Wake, etc.; Waterbury Woman Kills etc.; Detective and 2 Burglars Shot: Claims Boy Ran Away From Home; “Fatty” Arbuckle Charged With Mui- der; Cut by Glass When Car Skidded; Roundhouse Swept by Flames; Claims Janitor Used Axe-Handle to Assault Men; Double Murder Ends National Convention of Negro Baptists; Murder and Suicide Aboard Steamship; Youth Confesses to Murder; Immigration In- spector Ends Life by Shooting; Two Men Injured in Acocident. In addition to these there are nine stories, the heads over which promise pleasing stories. No criticism is intended. All is news that is demanded. The paper re- ferred to is a bright, enterprising one. But it's interesting to note tone of the news. “Babe Ruth Has Tied His Home Run Record,” headline. Why worry about other small matters? “Careless Match Destroys Boat,” headline. Evidently writer believes matches like shoes and people have souls. Must remind esteemed neighbor that Secretary Hughes says this is not a “Disarmament Conference,” but a “Conference on the Limitation of Armaments.” “Gold Seekers Rush to Elbow Lake,” headline. Safe to say there will be much elbowing. 25 YEARS AGO (From The Herald of That Date.) James Butler's saloon on South Main street was entered last night and a quantity of bottled liquor and boxes of cigars were stolen. The Socialist Party neld a rally in Turner hall yesterday afterneon and there was an attendance of about 400. The water in Shuutte Meadow lake measured 11 feet and 10 inches today. During the night or yesterday, some TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1921, ‘SAILOR GIRL’ (Continued from Fourth Page.) the door. He saw a big black squirm- ing in the midst of a tangle of yellow fiend: With a prodigious effort he shook himself free, saw Rattray with the pistol and leaped through the door. A blade swung at him, but missed. There was a scrim and as Rat- tray ran out, he saw the fusitive hurdle into the sea. He fired twice at the swimming figure, and ran back to the cabin to stuff the sack under his jacket. Rattray's boatswain looked in, panting, bare to the waist. He grinned and looked at the body of Galen. “Can do,” he said. “Good! Go quick,” said Rattray, pulling the lamp down. He went to} the galley, and finding oil and spirit stabbed cans with his knife until they zushed fluid, threw them into the main cabin, where they gurgled their contents over the floor and then set them afire. As they pulled away for the Tropic Bird the Cristobal became a great torch, lighting up the yellow faces at the oars. Rattray had carried out his orders to the letter and everything had gone well. His own schooner was making sail, and coming up into the wind. As she turned her stern to tha moon, a black head rose out of the water and studied her name, then dived and swam for the shadow of a nearby island. The Tropic Bird, twenty-seven days from Manila, arrived at Zamboanga in ballast, fer copra. Capt’ Rattray reported a rough passage. He shipped a young mate who had just come out of the hospital after fever, and who was glad enough of a chance to get back to Manila. The name of the new mate was John Strang. e CHAPTER VL After the Mongolia left Hongkong for Manila, Mrs. Wade found a strang- er sitting beside her at table when she went down for lunch—a pleas- ant, middle-aged man with a bald spot and a gold tooth. As he be- trayed an infinite knowledge of the Orient, Mrs. Wade struck up an in- formal acquiintance with him. His name, according to the pas- senger list, was Horatio Ogelthorpe Westward. He maintained a myster- ious reticence about himself and his business. On Mrs. Wade this made an impression which did not decrease when she heard one of the ship’s officers call him “professor.” “So you're the Mrs. Wade who writes novels,” said Westward one morning when the Philippine coast was coming up out of the horizon. “You ought to get some corking good stories out here Mrs. Wade had an idea this ac- quaintance might be turned to ac- count for Eleanor—that Mr. West- ward might have some gossip about business and ships which would be of value. “I gather you've been out quite a while. “Nearly ten vears, and I'm a good listener.” “I've friends who knew a Nickelsen—I think his name Nickelsen,” suggested Mrs. Wade. here Capt. was Nickelsen. Oh. yes. Speaking of Nicke'sen reminds me of a story— about pirates.” ““Oh, lovely' A regular pirate story? No doubt a few years ago—"" “I'm talking about a few days ago! No more than a month ago.” “Now!" exclaimed Mrs. Wade, come right over to a deck chair and begin, and Jdon't you dare play cards in the smoking room once room be- fore we're in Manila! Shoot the pi- rate story.” *You may think Rattray and Strang are bush league pirates’’ he began. “What I know is gossip and news- paper yarns. They’d just been arrest- ed when I was in Manila last, and Rattray’s trial ought to be over by the time we get in.” Miss Glendon came from her state- room. “Come hear a pirate story, dear. “I know it's going to be interest- ing,” Eleanor said, taking a chair be- side the professor. “Now—" suggested Mrs. the professor. “Rattray was mate of a steamer and had a row with his employers. He bobbed up as captain of a schooner— the Tropic Bird—made a trip to Zam- boanga for copra, hired a new mate there, John Strang, and came back to Manila. The schooner had been tied up a few hours when a gunboat came in from the south. Wade to (Continued Tomorrow). AMERICAN CHOP SUEY.

Appraisers Thomas Linder and Denis Ahearn, the former representing the city and the latter the city and state, have recommended a valuation of $116,102 on the State Normal school buildings here, with a state grant of 2 per cent. per vear for de- preciation until the city takes over the buildings. Appraiser Leonard Asheim, who represents the ssjte, agrees with the $116,102 figure but not the two per cent. The three reports have been sent to the Capitol and as soon as negotiations are completed for the purchase by the city of the buildings, $750,000 will be released for the first part of the work on the new plant.
