To this end a collection of sixty of such copies has been secured for exhibition in the Central Junior High school. These re- productions will he on exhibition until next Monday and those interested in- vite the people of the city to view them, There may be no question of the lack in New Britain .schools of chances for the pupils to become tamiliar with this sort of art. There can be no disputing the value of a knowledge of it. The chance being given the parents and others interest- ed to enjoy the exhibition and to see 1|iat what copies of famous pictures | are sought to be procured should not be neglected. The situation is as though it was planned to take up a new study in the schools and the line of text books to be procured were placed on exhibition for the approval of parents and pupils, except for the| fact that this sort of study and the means by which it is to be pursued may be better judged that would be possible in the case of a new study of a different character. Today anything that is not "pmcti-‘ cal” is deprecated. People are apt to ask what good will a knowledge of art | ' 36 a man or woman in earning his or her bread? Every man and woman is better able to earn that bread to enjoy life as that bread is being earned, to take his or her place among educated people of culture if he or she has some appreciation of the refinements of life, of its beauties. Were all the lovely, fine things to be taken from life—the things that in- spire, existence would be a dreary thing indeed. Were the earth to be covered with nothing but geeds; were | no flowers to be seen, no green flelds, no glorious sunsets, man would be a very different sort of creature than that which he is today. There would be less of kindness, courtesy, consid- eration. All would be hard and cold. Frowns, not smiles, would prevail, An appreciation of art, a study of it brings to the mind of the boy and girl something of the atmosphere the sunlight and flowers bring to the eyes and, through the sight, to the inner consclousness, to the charaéter. General interest should be taken in this art exhibit and the movement to make the study of art possible in our schools: famous NEW OITIZENS AND VOTERS There is to be a meeting tomorrow evening for the benefit of the newly made citizens. It should be made a meeting for the benefit of the city and community as well. These ‘recep- tions” are held often with too little thought of their importance. Toyal men and women, Americans, love this land; they believe it is the best land on the face of the earth. They are not | blind, however; they see faults in the habits of thought that are expected; they see imperfections in the scheme of things political. They see looseness of standards in business countenanced | on every hand. Some of them \\':ml“ to see a change in general sentiment. | Some long to see a return of appre- ciation of the splendor of strict hon-| esty.

But every effort should made, eneggetically, honestly, to inspire new citi®ns, new voters, to raise the stan- dards of politics and government. not be ENDORSING SERVICE MEN The Herald, frankly, is a staunch friend of the ex-service man. It be- lleves ex-service men deserve every encouragement, every consideration. It believes that many of the men who went into service were among the finest in the country, and it believes that many who went into the service learned by trying experience things that made real men of them. Other things being equal The Herald wouldi always support an ex-service man fori political office against one who is not | an ex-service man, But the Herald belleves that any organization which makes the an- nouncement, such as that reported (o3 have been made by an organization which is to meet this evening, that “The various ex-service men who aro" running for the council and other civic positions will recelve the official en-| dorsement of the organization” makes | a mistake, unless the qualifications of | each candidate have been studied ir- respective of the fact that such candi- date is an ex-service man. A blanket endorsement of all ex-service men who may run for office is not worth a great deal. Moreover no organization has the right to assert that it will draw up a platform ‘containing the requests of the ex-service men of the city.” Or-| ganizations of men formerly in sor\'icci are to be approved. The expression of | opinion of such organizations, speak- ing for themselves, is to be approved. The assumption of the right by one organization to speak for all ex-serv- ice men's organizations, or all ecx- service men not in that organization, however, is improper. A REAL HONOR. TYarael Nair, of this city, has been elected . member of the Yale chap- ter of the society Phi Beta Kappa. It is a real honor, denoting unusual ex- cellence in scholarship. It is an hon- or which may be won by anyone pos- sessing the necessary brains and op- portunity to use them, who makes use of them and who does hard, con- scientious work in college where there is a chapter of the society. Excellence athletics usually brings more notoriety or fame. A long run in a college football game, a home run in a college baseball game of importance, or a broken rec- ord on the track or in the field events or membership in a winning crew makes the person involved an almost national hero. Great success in the real work of college, the work of the mind, too often is overlooked. Young Mr. Nair has made a “home run” in the fleld of learning. The Phi Beta Kappa key he will be en- titled to wear will mark him as one who profited by his opportunities. He is to be congratulated; his success should receive the fitting acknowl- edgment. in UNIVERSAL ATHLETICS. It is expected that representatives from over four hundred colleges and schools will meet in the University of Pennsylvania relay carnival to be held seen | the growing tendenc, n ath- letics, to cut down all traditional sep- arating barriers and to bring togeth- er young men and boys from all parts of the country.

This is quite in accordance with the spirit the times. #he efforts that have been made recently espec- fally in each fnstitution to make ath- of letics more universal in that institu- tion—to induce more students to take part, must eventually bear fruit.

This fact, taken in connection with that other, namely that he has found encouraging signs in locality visited, and connection with his every in a decided this year, makes his encouraging pre- dictions regarding New England all the more deserving of emphasis. In Saturday's article in The Her-| ald he concluded with the statement | that business for the week had shown only 12 per cent below normal as compared with 13 per cent for the logical | upward trend of business | week before. Iollowing the line of reasoning, that the New FEng- land outlook is brighter than that in any other part the country, the conclusion must he reached that the business index for New Iingland would be within approximately ten per cent of normal, with further en- couraging signs prevalent.

Women. are willing to pay handsomely those foreigners, who by virtue of their passports may pass frecly out of Rus- sla and also enter Poland, or' Ru- mania, German, or other countries, and take with them women passing as their wives. As Russian subjects neither men nor women may easily get permission to leave Russia and if 8o, the other countries will not receive them. y Subjects of Turkey and other Mos- lem countriesenggaed in this marriage husiness sometimes take out four wives at a time the number allowed by their marriage laws, Sometimes such marriages of the moment end unhappily. The husband of a Baku lady of beauty succeeded in ! getting out, and then planned for his wife to marry for the journey a local official. The official fell in love with the woman and insisted that she re- main as his legal wife as she had in fact became through her own dec! ation before the local soviet marriage bureau. g 508 SMALLPOX DEATHS, Low Rate of Past Tew Y Maintained. Washington, March ars Is Being 20.—Deaths ith registra- tion area of the country in 1920 to- talled 508 as compared with 358 In 1919, the census bureau announced today. It was pointed out, however, that virtually the same low rate was maintained during the year as had prevailed since 1904, which was the last year that the death rate from the | disease exceeded one per 100,000 of population. At the same time, the high death rate in some cities and states, such as the rate of 9.2 per 100,000 in Louisiana, should serve as a warning, it was said, of the need of vaccination. relatively MANY FUR COATS 50,000 Seals KJll(‘d During First Weck of Hunting Season St. John's N.

Medical Fxaminer George B. Magrath had anticipated this formality by saying that suicide was obvious. In the case of Miss Clark also the samc finding was an- nounced. Whether there was a pact between them however was still in doubt. In several letters by Larsen, found on his body when it was discovered in the Fenway behind the museum of fine arts yesterday, were statements that he prepared the poison original- ly for the woman of whom he was enamoured, gave it to her, and took the vial containing what was left after she had fallen dead among her guests ‘“because aftep Miss Clark's death it was my property and I could use it.” Further light on his mental pro- cesses was corained in a reference to his flight from the party and his subsequent hiding. Praises Miss Clark “I preferred to wait until my testi- mony would be of value then give it and take the rest of the poison, 1 the privilege of meeting Miss Clark, whom I truly estimated to be one of the world's finest women” he wrote. Larsen had known the woman six weeks. In the letters to Medical Examiner Magrath and to a newspaper, Larsen explained that he, an advanced stu- dent of chemical engineering, had ob- tained the poison for Miss Clark at her request. In one sentence he said he “did not anticipate to what end” she wanted it. In another he said he made her promise not to use it until she had seen her mother. The young divorcee, Larsen said, was morgse and gay gatherings: de- signed to cheer her were frequent. He asserted that *“she had long ago decided upon how the end should be when her many devoted fricnds no longer could divorce her from the misery of her own thoughts.” Neither of the two other men nor the young woman who attended the party in Miss Clark's Back Bay apart- ment had any part in her suicide, Larsen stated.

Los Angeles, March 20.—In her ceil in the county jail again trial for the murder of Belton Kennedy, her sweetheart, Mrs. Mad- alynne Obenchain, in whose case a {jury last night disagreed and was dis- charged, today was resignedly waiting for tomorrow when it is expccted her second trial will be set. The foreman, Frank W. Crockett a retired attorney os Pasadena told the court the division was 9 to 3 and had 8o stood from the first to the fifth and final ballot. After the court had dismissed them, some of the jurors told the news- papermen the nine including two of the women jurors favored conviction; while the three, including one woman had voted for acquittal. They said that as the ‘“hopeless @ivision” came on the question of guilt or innocence they nevér reached the question of degree of guilt. They were out approximately 56 hours of which necarly 24 were passed in actual deliberation they said. Mrs. Obenchain, with a pale drawn face, but otherwise displaying no sign of emotion was in court when the jury reported. She quickly returned to her cell in the women’s depart- ment of the jall without giving out an interview, although it was report- ed she had become resigned to a disagreement. NEW POLICE SQUADRON 72 Fast Motor Cars Detailed To Run Down Criminals in New York's Lat- est Drive. New York, March 20.—A fleet of 72 fast motor cars, each carrying half a dozen policemen, was launched by the police department today in a further effort te chdck the crime wave. The new motor brigade will be in service day and night, Police Commissioner kEnright announced. One of the cars will be attached to each of the 72 police precincts in the greater city and will patrol a giv- en territory.

The strain of standing—the shock of walking on hard floors and pavements exhaust you needlessly. Just standing on these hard surfaces is so great a sirain that people whose daily work demands it simply must have relief. And walking— every step is a jar on spine and brain. And the average man takes eight thousand steps a day! s Of course hard leather heels give no relief. Ordinary rubber heels are little better. Some are soft, crumbly rubber that wears down quickly—others are so hard and lifeless that you might as well wear leather. O’Sullivar’s Safety Cushion Heels give you perfect pro- tection. They combine just the right toughness for long, hard wear with the greatest amount of springiness. The price of O’Sullivan’s to you is generally ¢ pHCe of ordinary heels, in spite of the fact that O’Sullivan’s cost the dealer more. Your repairman could make a bigger immediate profit on any one of half a dozen substitutes— but when he puts on O’Sullivan’s, he knows you’ll bring trade to him again. Ask for O’Sullivan’s when you leave your shoes—see that they are attached. The O’Sullivan Heel Company. he same as the TROOPS CALLED OUT. Lockout in Denmark Is Cause of Se- rious Disturbances.
