Those who believe obligation system in keeping sorry and many others are SOTTY. But those who believe in keeping that obligation should not force the people to do it unless they want to. The two platoon system was promis- ed by the city about five months ago—promised without proviso—and promised no matter what should hap- pen to the city in the meantime. Let the people of the city and the repre- sentatives of the city decide whether or not they will want to keep that promise. The matter is not one for decision by the courts. Most of us wanted the matter of transportation left to us. We are the ones who ride—we are the ones most affected. Our representatives in the legislature knew the sentiment of thc people. They knew that our People “did not want them over in Hartford to tell us how and where we might ride.” They tried to bring it about so that we should be the judges. Similiarly why should the people here want judges to tell us what sort of a fire system we should have. Let the people decide again, in' the light of all the knowledge the people now have on the situation. Let the mayor watch. It we want to fulfill our promis let the City Council pass another reso- lution for the two-platoon system; let our city meeting board approve; then let the mayor see if he wants again to veto the resolution in the face of these actions. Let the voice of the people be heard again, and avoid bringing New Britain into any more publicity that is unpleasant that the generous press has given us already. If the people do no want the system, they will show it quickly. Those who are sticking to the fire- men and want to be loyal to* that promise, have nothing but the best of intentions. It is inconceivable that the mayor, can have, in this case anything but the good of the city at heart. Let the test be made agaln—and let's do it ourselves. Let us show that we are able at least to run our own city in regard to the two-platoon matter. a moral are _ SOME SENTIMENT. ‘While experts are trying to explain why the Yankees have beaten the Glants in the first two games of the series, an action has been taken that shows sentiment survives in at least some of the magnates of the game. Jim Mutrie, who christened the Glants, and who was manager for years, has been placed on the pay- roll of that club for life. He is to get $25 a week as long as he lives. One who was interested in profes- sional baseball in the nineties, has probably seen Mutrie about the old Polo Grounds at 110th street, near Central Park. Entirely from memory one sees him, a big cigar in his mouth, wearing a long frock coat, high hat and his upper lip adorned with a long mustache. The red at the tip of his nose was quite natural there being no eighteenth amendment at that time; and it was said that “Jim” had every reason for possessing that adornment. Mutrie’'s very life seemed in the game, and as a bench manager, never as a player, was he known. He has been seen to send a pitcher out back of the stands—not far away is the custom at present—to warm up the moment the Giants' opponents be- gan to hit the ball hard, no matter whether “hey were making safe hits or not. He looked more like ager of a s manager of a the man- sful circus than the ball team, he and the players thor- though knew the game oughly. They were not as strict days as at present, in those and one may im- agine Jim sitting happily over a glass of beer when the team with one of his players.

He gave a playmate 1-1 of his store and 3-4 of an apple more, and to another 1-5 of his store and 1-5 of an apple more. This left him 4 apples. How many did he get for his quarter? Answer to yesterday's Scrambled AMERICAN LEGION CONCERT. When Councilman Weld spoke con- cerning a resolution presented to the Common Council asking that body to i.terest itself in the concert by the United States Marine Band, to be given here under the auspices of the Ameri- can Legion, Sunday afternoon and eve- ning, Oct. 16 at Fox's theater, there was a decided tendency among the members of the Council to see if they could not do something more than to merely pass the resolution. They ap- preciated thoroughly the work the various organizations have been doing in taking care of the funerals of the returned dead soldiers, and that the expense had fallen greatly upon them, cspecially upon the American Legion. The atmosphere seemed to pervade the room that the Common wanted to do something. The sugges- tion that all attend in a body was Im- mediately withdrawn before it had been presented, the speaker realizing stiddenly that more people would at- tend, if the members of the Council went to the concert separately, bring- ing others of their families with them. Therefore, no attempt was made, as it was toward thé end of a long session when the matter was brought up, to take further steps in the matter. Moreover, it does not seem that more steps can be taken by the Com- ion Council 2s a body. It then ap- peared that members approved of the American Legion’s energy and faith in the people and had assumed the risk of this obligation without fearing that the *cople of New Britain would not stand behind them. Yesterday The Herald published the list of places where tickets may be procured, and the committees to aid. Confidently do the who wore the uniform expect that people of New Britain will patronize this af- fair, knowing as they do; that the money derfved will be used for ex- penses in connection with burying soldier dead as they return. Music-lovers will be there because they will appreciate the music, if for no other reason; others will be there who care little about music—but who teel the desird to help the buddies, who live to take care of the buddies who died. But most people love a band. There should be no lacking in sup- port for those who are doing this great work In memory of those who, per- haps, fought and died by their side.

In the vear 1910 the matron became con- vinced that bad condition of the chil- dren’s mouths had much to do with their sickness. A room was furnished with a dental chair and equipment and Dr. F. A. Keyes, of Boston, was em- ployed to put the children’s mouths in a sound sanitary condition. Before work was started in Novem- ber, 1908 there were 6 cases of dipu- theria, 8 of mumps, 17 of scarlet fever, 3 of pneumonia, 24 of measles, 19 of tonsilitis, 7 of whooping cough, 15 ot chicken pox and 4 of croup. When work was started in Novem- ber 1910 the cases had changed to the following figures: Diphtheria 1, mumps 10, scarlet fever 12, pneumonia 4, measles 40, tonsilitis 8, whoopiag cough 2, chicken pox 10, croup 0. A vear after opening up the school dental clinic there was not a single case of any of the above ailments to be found and only two ill in the school both havng tubercular cases. From April 1912 to April 1913 there was not a single case of illness in the institution. In 1913 to 1914 one new child entered with a bad mouth and almost immediately five other new children, whose teeth needed attention joined her in developing an attack of measles. Another child with bad teeth developed pneuonia. A year later these children, after a course in dental hy- giene, were sound in health and body and the only iliness in the school were six tubercular casgs which had just entered. It is with the intention of curing or remedying similar evils in New Britain that the drive has been started by professional people and workers with the co-operation of the Rotary club and Chamber of Com- merce to establish a dental clinic here. The object of the dental clinic as proposed in New Britain is to have regular inspection of teeth in the schools, conduct a campaign of edu- cation for the benefit of parents as well as children and provide treatment at a nominal cost to the needy. The committee yesterday composed of Dr. F. Zwick, chairman and con- sisting of seven others, met in the board of health rooms in city hall and formulated plans for the ~financial campaign to be conducted here next week. Letters to all the ministers in the city, including the Salvation Army have ben written and will be deliverad this evening by Boy Scouts, asking that announcements of the campaign be made from the pulpits Sunday. It is planned to act in conjunction with the Rotary club and have Dr. Alfred C. Fones, Director of Dental Hyglene in Bridgeport to deliver an address here. Contributions toward the fund for $1500 will be received next week by Secretary Mrs. Alfred Thompson, who will be in charge of temporary head- quarters at 85 West Main street, of by Treasurer W. S. Howe, at 38 Trinity street. z It was decided not to make any systematic solicitation for funds until it was seen how the contributions came in during the early part of the week. e — Way to Reach Catarrh Hyomei's germ-killing medication is the only sensible and safe way of treating catarrh.
