In the Herald for October 8, two, seventh- column, may be the afverusement of the meeting to- night of the City Meeting Board. . Therein are set forth the matters to be acted upon. The chief matters to be taken up are the issuance of bonds for school and street purpcses. As there have beer no ‘“changes or modifications” duly filed and adver- tised in a petition signed by 100 reg- istered voters of the city, the appro- priations made by the City Council will stand unless it is {‘deemed ad- visable’ to reject them or vnless they are not acted upon. This is true for the reason that the city advertisement reads “that the city meegjng is to consider, and if deemed advisable in lieu of levying a tax to vote to issue the bonds of said city—" “If deemed advisable” is the limit- ing phrase. The city meeting board may disapprove the estimates of the Common Council, but may not modify them. It is to be hoped that a discussion only on the advisability o? issuing the bonds, if there be need of such dis- cussion, be allowed, and that no mem- ber of the City Meeting Beafd will at- tempt to bring in extraneous matter. In such case our City Meeting Board will prove once more, a Success. The people know the school situa- tion and are fully aware of the neces- gity of the recommendations to be pre- sented. They should be passed with- out a ‘“nay’’ vote. page found is STILL WE §RE ADVERTISED. The “Hartford Courant,” this morn- ing, in its New Britain section, prints a lengthy article concerning the Her- ald. We seem to have been relegated from the first page to ome of the in- side pages. We are very sorry indeed that we are no more supplying such “news” as the Courant is anxious §o print upon its first page. The article attempts to prove that we did not believe that Renaldino was murdered, that we protected Richard- son and that we attemptgd to disprove the State’s word that the Giardinos had confessed. The ‘Courant is mis- taken in many of its surmises, pur- posely so, we imagine. True we print- ed both sides of the cdses, printed statements, as far as we could get them, from the State Police and the accused and their friends, and in the majority of the arrests which seems to closely linked, published the mews of the arrests betore the Courant. The statements of the Gilardino's did con- flict with the insinuations by the State police that they had confessed, it is true, but nevertheless the denial of contession was made. As a matter of notice there has been no positive of- fielal announcement yet made that Richardson or the others, with the possible exception of some of the lesser figures, have made a signed confession. The Courant’s attempt to do some- thing, just what we have not decided, to the Herald are getting childish. We are of the opinion that the majority of Herald readers, accustomed to follow- ing its columns, know the facts in the case now under newspaper discussion. Until the Courant unearths something more relevant in its “investigation” of the Herald we shall pay no further attention to it. We appreciate the ad- vertising that it 1s giving us as no business is too big not to need pub- licity., We shall continue to give the news as we see it, from both sides of every case which, after all, is our best advertising.

He says: “The government, also, by its advice to the business men and corporations throughout the country to forego any appreciable profits, to increase the size of their plants or add te their capacity and give other men employment at the present time would be of great assist- ance if it is acted upon.” It is believed that the private citi- zens here will continue to aid the em- ployment agency by sending in word of work to be done, carrying on still further the advantages gained through our municipal employment bureau. It has been said, in reference to the advertising speech in New Haven, that the speaker erred when he in- timatedggthat New England was try- ing to sell goods from the golf links. The speaker was not addressing a group of men in New Britain, or from New Britain, nor was he talking about New Britain. New Britain is a city of work, as often has been said. The manufac- turers her; are working, perhaps harder than when everything was going well, it is said. It is possible to hope that they will see their way clear to doing the things sugsested by the government, as the city had done long before advice was given by the national government. Repair, ex- tend, enlarge now, if such plans are made for the future. Splendid would be the results if this advice were to be followed, and if the obeying of it would not cripple the manufacturers, for none may ask more from those who handle other people’s money than from those who handle merely their own. FOSTERING FOXES There is no intention to insinuate that Secretary of States Hughes is a cat, not that President Harding is a fox. Mr. Hughes is a man of keen in- telligence, a profound knowledge of the law, and the wisdom of its proper and timely application. The President, whatever else he may be, is a kindly man, concerned with the comfort of other people, much averse to strife, and inclined to settle matters the easiest way possi- ble, This is a sufficiently .thorough desecription of the two men to make the little episode described, applica- ble. It seems the story goes that a cat out {n Ontarfo forteres three fox pups untfl they were two months old. They were taken away from the mother he- cause it was feared they might chill The cat had five kittens which wers disposed of and the foxes were adopt- ed in their place, The foxes, although now larger than NEW sRITAIN DAJLY HERALDR., FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1921, FACTS AND FANCIES | BY ROBERT QUILLEN J The germ of war in sore spots. multiplies rapidly Not the le worries at pr of land’s minor nt is Asja Minor.

Probably they know that they could overpower the cat Who has been so good to them, and for whom they would undoubted- ly fight. 3 When frank knowledge of a man's limitations and the unannounced recognition of the power of another is coupled to a disparagement of noteriety and petty fame, a combina- tion results that cannot fail to be zood. How much better off the cat is and how much more comfortable are the foxes—how much better is every- thing all around? How much good results to the country. If you don’t know all about it it is because you haven't “snooped” eanough.

In their efforts to get together, nations show a commendable willing- ness to do anything short of being reasonable. Temptation can’t run fast enough to keep away from a man who has a pocket full of easy money and time to spend it. The only thing that .grows larger as it is divided into parts is the tax the manufacturer passes on to the consumer. Perhaps the frost did it, but on close inspection we observe that some of the peaches on the street are a little wrinkled.

ADMIRAL BEATTY OF BRITISH NAVY HERE Arrives on Aquitania This Morn- ing—Going to Kansas: City New York, Oct. 21.—Escorted by a squadron of American destroyers which picked the liner Aquitania up before dawn off Ambrose lightship, Admiral Earl Beatty of the British navy arrived here today as the guest of the American Legion. The batteries of Forts Hamilton and Wadsworth thundered a salute of 19 guns. During their stay in New York, Ad- miral’ and Lady Beatty will be the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Marshall Field. Lady Beatty is a daughter of the late Marshall Field of Chicago. Admiral Beatty will not attend any formal functions until he starts for Washing- ton on Sunday to pay his respects to President Harding and cabinet mem- bers. They will go to Kansas City on Oc- tober 28, for the American Legion con- vention. After the convention, Ad- miral Beatty will go to Washington, where he is to serve in an advisory capacity to the British delegation at the armamept conference. ‘Who Beatty Is. Admiral David Beatty, Baron of the North Sea and of Brooksby, is regard- ed by the British as a typical British sailor of the traditional bulldog breed and a first-class fighting man. The worst criticism made of his conduct during the war was that he was over- bold and did not wait for reinforce- ments before attacking the enemy. On the two occasions when the Ger- mans ventured out into the North Sea in force, it was Beatty who attacked them and started the fighting. The forces under his command bore the brunt of the fighting and inflicted much of the damage the Germans suf- fered at the battles of Heligoland and Jutland. At Jutland, Beatty with his com- mand of battle cruisers opened the fight or. Admiral von Scheer and tried to maneuver him so that his retreat could be cut off. The Germans got away 1n the darkness with Beatty still pursuing them. Tha Jellicoe-Beatty discussion that followed will furnish conversation for British naval circles for generations but Great Britain made Beatty a full- fledged admiral and elevated him to the peerage in 1919. Born in County Wexford, Ireland, 50 vears ago, he showed his fighting qualities in the battle of Ondurman, in Egypt, in 1898 and later in China during the Boxer troubles when he took two Chinese batteries at the head of his bluejackets and was wounded twice. Beatty gave the Germans a surprise before the war when he took his com- mand into their naval stronghold, Kiel, one night during a heavy fog without the aid of local pilots. The Russians remember him as the doughty British- er who drank an enormous gift cup full of champagne at one gulp. His wife was Miss Ethel Field, only QUALITY-FOOD 1t’s not volume, but quality in diet that aids healthful gro Scott’s Emulsion is a quali :ly -food that many need to help tide over times of weak- ness.

Editor: New Britain Herald: There has been a great deal of talk about the eastern section of the town about the advisability of clearing the land in the extreme eastern end of the town, known as the “Trestle.” This land is now overgrown with weeds which could be cleared away and an excellent pond.for skating could be had, it/would be accessible to the whole city. size, there are suitable places cared for by the city. Take Hartford for instance; they have Colt's park, Pope’s park and numerous other places. This would.also provide a means of giving employment to some of the city’s unemployed.
