Tach man and each woman, and also each girl and boy has a right to form his or her own opinlon on that point. In accordance with that opinion he or she will make ready for six wecks more of cold weather, or will begin to think about spring and the things pertaining there- to. In accordance with that opinion the householder will ‘‘view with alarm’ or “point with pride” at his coal hin, and in accordance with that oplnion a man will decide whether or not his winter coat or suit will last out the season or not. All these important matters must be decided by each in- dividual and decided wisely. Deep consideration should be given to the matter. Tt is pretty safe to say, however, that Mr. Groundhog saw no shadow in New Britain this morning when he first appeared. So we may hope and expect that beautiful, glorious, spark- ling Spring comparatively soon. But turning from this ancient myth, tascinating as it is and interesting, the real significance of the day to many lies In its religious aspect. To- day, in Roman Catholic churches, is celebrated the feastof the Purification of the Virgin Mary; today are blessed the candles used on altars or used for other sacred purposes. Believers in Catholicism today join in sympathy with the motive inspir- ing the feast; it is one of the inspir- ing motives in their lives. Christians of other creeds stand in quiet rever- ence before the religious celebration, acknowledging the beauty of the an- cient custom. And men and women of no beliefs, or of avowed non-belief, Wremain silent, some envious of those who are able to others clined to smile if they but dared but held back by something within them, something unacknowledged hut pres- ent which forbids any attitude other than one of silent respect before men and women in their devotions to God and to all that pertains to worship of Him, 1 FOREIGN BORN. whether a pessimistic or optimistic is taken of the .large percentage of foreign birth in this state, the figures compar- ing the percentages as shown by the 1920 census and that of 1910, teresting. ious deductions may he made from these figures, starting with various premises.

This the of foreign by period must be rule. But when the quality of such products as well as the quantity is taken into consideration, and if it is admitted that there is an improve- ment in both, the figures argue well for the efficicncy of the American workman, not, however, to the detri- ment of the ability of t eign birth, « nan of for m many of wi ¢ made such good citizens of (his state A NEW “MOVIE” CITY Perhaps the secret of Will Hays' willingness to take the the movies is not dictatorship of | entirely a financial |sive action of any effort n perlod of slight unpopulurity, locall Hays' o have been developed In some will this, ties, as much as possible, luty will he to accomplisk model city so near New York would do 1o facilitate lessen expenses of obtaining casts and women, and to re- confidence of the public In actresses they have much production, to " men and store the the actors admired, vextra and ADOPTED The the United States, Great Britain, Japan, France and Ttaly five nations, have adopted the treaty size of naval armaments and for bidding the use of poison gas in war- The United States, Great Britain und Japan have agreed to leave forti- fications In the Pacific, outside homelands, as they are.

He as- through its iegislature, has become the leader among the 'states in recognizing the serts that Connectleut, actual condition of the transportation system, Thus, in this last phrase, Judge tobertson declares distinetly that this state practically stands alone—or is at least at the head of the class—in passing laws that will enable a dis- tressed corporation to get on its feet again, pay up old debts and even con- template great new things. Judge Robertson places the, credit for his fine situation in the removing of jitneys from most of the streets of the state, Now of course the humble worker ought to be very glad that his extra nickels, which might have bought him more rides on the jitneys or on the trolley if the fare had been five cents, have gone to help pay the old debts of the Connecticnt Company, or that they will help in this estimable pur- pose. He should not mind, although he is trying to save a nickel here and there on a cut of meat or an extra drop of milk for the baby, the devo- tion of those nickels to such a worthy cause as assisting the Connecticut Co. financially. But the humble worker nevertheless dares to ask those who see nothing but good in the conduct of the Connecticut Company, if it wouldn't please see, just for a little while; if it wouldn't be able to do all these great things by doing as he asks and trying the lower fare here. Really, he feels, it might be a good idea to go to the trouble of |ryil\F out the plan he believes in to find out if money wouldn't come in and if the transportation sys- tem in this city be on a firmer basis.
