WHERE ARE A picture was published Herald of last Thursday which ed the eyes and made one pause. A man is represented seated in chair, thinking. His profile only visible; his figure hdden by the back of the great chair in which he rests. Rests? The word is changed the moment it is written. | For the man is not resting. Only his| body is at ease; the mind is searching | the profound depths of contemplation. | From that picture comes a solemn | wave of seriousness. The personifica- tion of honesty, straightforwardnes: earnestness, sits motionless before one, humble in realization of the vast- ness of human problems and manm‘ inability to solve them but strong in determination to give all ! the power possessed toward doing man's human best in that position to which it has pleased God to call him | Where are the men today a pictured | representation of whom bring that deep feeling of admiration for the | soul within the human body? | It was the photograph of the lLin- coln Memorial to be dedicated May | 30.

Senator Watson's speech, in- stance, attefnpted to leave the impres- sion that the republican party in ‘Washington was rushing eager to nn-‘ do as speedily as possible the awful! wrongs the democrats had perpetrat- ed. ““We can't correct in eighteen | months,” cries Senator Watson, or words to that effect, “all the evils re- sulting from the mismanagement of the democrats over a period of eight | years.” One almost pictures the anx- | lou5 energetic republicans, rolling up their sleeves, throwing aside their shoes that they may make better speed, and darting into action to right not con- for and the poor, abused people in par- ticylar.

Furthermore, there will be annayance from constant musie, and those who belleve that “music hath charms” might be prevalled upon to revise their opinion after liv- ing within earshot of the pavilion for a few weeks, It has been suggested that the dance hall be erected at North End park or Willow Brook park. Neither of these recommendations has very positive suppprt. Either park is too far distant from the center of the city and inconvenient to all who live at the other end of town. Walnnt I{i|) park seems to be a logical site Le- cause it can be approached from all directions and is not far from any point within municipal limits, At the same time there is well defined sentiment against the pavilion being located there on the ground that it seems like desecration of this fine property and also because it would re. sult in a nightly invasion of the most beautiful part of the city by throngs of people, many of 'whom lack finer instincts and would fail to respect pri- vate rights and prerogatives of those who live in the vicinity. If Walnut Hill park is selected care should be exercised in selecting the actual site. It would be Jawful to build at any location but property owners have rights stronger than the strongest statutes ever written, one of them being that they shall be entitled to protection against wanton or thoughtless city planning. One of the arguments advanced against the pavilion is that the police will be unable to control the crowds that gather there, the intimation bhe- ing that there may be violations of the moral code. This is a bugaboo and nothing more. Public dancing pavilions are in existence in other cities aitd the moral standard has nct been lowered as a result. This much is certain, however: dancing must !« regulated if the authorities expect the great middle classes to patronize the place.. Unless this is done no girl of character would care to attend. . Offi- cials in charge must be clothed with sufficient authority to enforce rules against improper posture in dancing although such rigorous regulations as would be found in a children’s danc- ing class are not to be expected. The matter of expense must also be considered. The city is not in finan- cial condition to squander a dollar. On the other hand, if a dancing pa- vilion is to be erected it must be a substantial structure which will not be out of harmony with the pleasing atmosphere of the park. Funds suffi- cient to install a good floor in a mod- ern building with an attractive exter- ior should be appropriated. .o Councilman Molander’s ideas on the purchase of an ambulance for hospi- tal work exclusively find many sup- porters. It is Mr. Molander's conten- tion that the hospital should buy the ambulance. In this one respect, per- haps, he does not gain unanimous approval ‘because there are many who believe that the city could better ford to purchase the vehicle than the hospital. Regarding his statement that the hospital should have its own attend- ants in charge of the vehicle, there is no opposition, so far as the Observer has learned. It is rather embarrass- ing for a person who needs to be taken to the hospital to have the po- lice patrol backed up to his door. Further embarrassment is caused hy the fact that a couple of uniformed policemen are often employed to take him from his home and carry him into the ambulance, if he is unable tc walk. Hospital attendants in white uniforms would be much more in keeping with the mission of the am- bulance. DR Mayor Paonessa carried out one of his campaign pledges this week wiien he persuaded Property Tax Collector Loomis to take charge of collecting the personal tax without extra com- pensation. It was thought in some quarters that the mayor would be un- able to make good on his promise e cause of legal technicalities and the fact that Mr. Loomis asked ror an in- crease of $300 in his salary. After an open conference, Mr. Loomis agreed to absorb the extra work en- tailed for the same salary he receives as property tax collector. When the budget is made out for the next fiscal year, Mr. loomis should be taken care o ing the mayo re for economy at every point, it is unfalr to ask one man to do the work another las heen doing in addition to his own labors without providing additional remu- neration, Even with an increase of $300, a saving of fifty per cent, of the salary formerly pald Mr, Mills woulfl be effected. The mayor is to he com- mended for his move in the direction of economy but he should be willing to increase Mr. Loomis' salary when the subject is discussed at the next meeting of the board of lnance and taxation for the purpose of fIxing th¢ budget, If a group of men and women or- ganized for the purpose of relleving distress and, through representatives, made 4,445 calls on sick people aurin; the year, we would all say it was won derful. That is what the New Hritain Tuberculosis Rellef society déd during the past year. In addition, 592 pa- tients were examined at the hcad quarters of the organization. Statistics fall to thrill, but they dec speak an eloquent language. At the annual meeting of the soclety thir week reports showed what had becr accomplished during the past year, They went to prove that the society i handling the situation {inteliigently and with thoroughness. It is follow ing the injunction to ‘‘care for the sick” in a practical manner tha speaks for itself. May it ourish and continue to be a factor in keeping New Britain a healthy city. 25 Years Ago Today (Taken from Herald of that date) Commander Loren D. Penfleld of Stanley Post has issued his orders for the Memorial Day parade. The march will commence at 1 o'clock in the afternoon. Two baseball teams of the New Britain Knitting shops will clash at the Electric Field tomorrow after- noon. A mail box at the corner of West Main and Curtis streets was smashed some time last night. The P. and F. Corbin factory tearh will play the Traut and Hine playérs at Electric Field on Decoration Day morning at 9 o’clock. The charter members of the Vet- eran Firemen's association met at Hadley's hall last evening and clected John W. Carleton president. Ruth Bennett will give a recitation on “Gettysburg” at the Grammar scho’ol Decoration Day. Memorial Services at St. Joseph’s Church Memorial services for the Civil War, Spanish American war and World War veterans will be held to- morrow evening at 8 o'clock at St. Joseph's church. Rev. J. Leo Sulli- van, assistant pastor, will talk on: “Authority, the Only Cure For Our Present Day Ills.” The service is open to the public. Mechanical stokers of various de- signs are used in industrial plants. B ——— ] HATS Now Is the time and this is the place to get blocked. MODEL OF TRENGHES 10 BE SHOWN HERE Miniature Replica of Front Near Yerdun oo Exhibition Tuesday Of particularly timely Interest Is an exhibit of war time pictures and a de- tall model of a portion of the trenches near Verdun which will be opened Memorial Day to continue through the week in the store formerly occupied by the Ashley-Babcock company on Main street. Plctures often mean more to an indlvidual than a written description, a model conveys to the mind a more graphic representation of a bit of scenery, or a section of the war-torn front, than either plc- tures or words. The leading figure ix the exhibit, which is sponsored by the department of archives and history of the state of Tennessee is the model of & 60 acre area of the front, di- rectly before Ghaumont and a few kil- metres from Verdun. The model is 14 by 30 feet and was made from mutilated paper money which had been drushed into a pulp by the U. 8. treasury department after it had been redeemed. It was made from meas- urements and photos by Capuln G. W. Beerworth of Nashville, Tenn, formerly with Canadian troops. Among the troops taking part in the battles from the very trenches represented were boys from the New IEngland Division and it is probable that many points in the model will be recognized by New Britain veterans. Shell holes, camouflaged artillery, fire and communication trenches, blown up tanks, ruined woods, German pill boxes, German officers’ dugouts and those occupied by American barbed wire entanglements, machine gun positions, chevaux de frise—all are represented as they appeared when U. S. troops took part in action there. The scale of the model varies from three to five feet to the inch and it took the constructor over one year to make it up with the wealth of detall required. It is certain to be of in- terest to local veterans and thelr friends. In addition to the model some 580 pictures of scenes at the front will be exhibited. There will be no admission charged to the exhibit, although those who wish will be allowed to donate. CLARK’S CRUISES byCan. Pac.
