A special com- mittee came in and reported that the needed members of city a dental clinic badly.

The committee felt that this matter which put up to the people at a meeting of was a should be the city meeting board, presumably. Perhaps the report would have been adopted. decided Perhaps it would have been that the “proper procedure’ should be resorted to and the matter decided the Perhaps the committee really believed that the city meeting board would tax to meet the needed 82,500 for this pur- pose. Perhaps the committee that the city meeting board would be more liberal than it, the committee, felt it should be. And perhaps the committee did not remember, at all, the matter of the cuts in s how the city meeting board took ac- tion which the common® council deemed improper, because such action seemed to mean a lessening of taxes. But the matter did not rest there. Others words than those of the com- mitteg report were spoken. The super- intendent of health suggested that there would be little danger of having the cost of the clinic go beyond what the council wanted it to, because only by action of the council could the money come. He called attention to the intimate connection between dis- ease of the teeth and disease of the lungs. He, whose only interest is in preserving the health of men, women and children of the city, showed how the clinic which has been in opera- tion through private endeavor, been patronized generally by people sent it from the welfare organizations of the city, the health nurse, as well as pupils from the schools. He showed the need of a clinic that by people, lay a felt ries— has would be independent of school au-| thority. Then Counciiman Nair, speaking logically, asked what good the city's investment of $4,000 in a person's services who should examine and note the poor condition of patient’s teeth would do, if such person could not afford to correct the affliction. He mentioned cases which had come to his notice where a suffering child was helpless, compelled to continue suffer- ing, because a wise dentist refused to pull an aching tocth, thus causing a disfigurement for life, but felt unable to give the time necessary for the long treatment to preserve the tooth He indicated that it was not just to ask denists to give their services free continually—a thing them felt, at times, they were compelled to do. But it remained for the tuberculosis nurse, Miss Logan, to present the case in its vital aspect. She told of the condition of the teeth of most of the " children over whom she and other workers are concerned. She quoted a physician who examined the little ones to be sent to the Fresh Air camp last summer. What good did it do, he asked, to feed the thin bodies of the children, to give them a chance to Lreathe fresh air, to put flesh on their scarce covered bones—what good did it do to accomplish these things while there was left in their mouths the decaying breeding place of the ter- rible disease that is the terror of this country? The common council decided to start the clinic. The common coun- cilgdecided that it might spend $2,500 from the emergency fund for this purpose. And, it is believed, not the least pleased over the action were the Nt IERBFRTEEY some of HaEIEay PRIREED crmsregse ASER . NEATII P RASTEIL €5y ported not to do this thing. CLAYTON CROSSING.

BASEBALL DECISION. The baseball player today may feel that his position in life has been ex- alted. The of the United States has ruled that organized baseball is not doing a business that supreme court may be called “interstate commerce.” The clubs are not under the Sherman anti-trust law-—they do not constitute illegal combinations. All of which in every day language means that the base hit produced by the bat of a Babe Ruth is no§ some- thing manufactured in one state and carried by its manufacturer or manufacturer's agent into another state and sold, although the: people of that other state do pay their money to see Mr. Ruth, who has brought his ability to make home runs from across a state line. The ball clubs, in other words, are transporting ability and not the product of ability turned, on one side of a state line, into the fin- ished product and carried across that line and sold. In a sense it might be said that the raw material-—the ability—is taken from one state to another, but the fact is undisputed that the finished pro- duct, the base hit, the fast or slow ball of a pitcher, the splendid fielding of a shortstop—all these things are made and displayed in the state where the people purchase a chance to see them. A base hit made in the Polo Grounds, New York, would be of little value on Forbes field, Pittsburgh—which goes to show that the supreme court knew what it was talking about. liable its THE GERMAN REPLY. The sanity of Germany's reply to the demands of the Reparation com- mission was inspired by the feeling that the United States would approve.

Do you, friend first warder, believe that such a condition would be tol- erated in the vicinity of Harrison street, or any other street in that |section? No, not for 24 hours, but, these law-abiding citizens and tax- payers have endured it for more than twelve years and, what's more, they certainly would have to put up with it indefinitely if the political machine had not been putl out of commission in the last city election, for as I chanced to pass that nasty cesspool a few days ago I found to my astoni.h- ment that, the new Board of Public Works had already started to drain the pond to make the surroundings habitable for mankind. This only illustrates what can de done by officials when they attend to the business for which they are ap- pointed and paid, instead of—curb- cruising. One eminent writer has said: necticut was never known rascal out” but evolution changes conditions. So let's hope that New Britain with its newly elected mayor |and his official family will prove that to be a fallacy, at least, so far as our city is congerned. So, friend first warder, I am most confident, what you justly complain of, will receive due attention, as I am, in common with many others, glad to note, that the new administration seems to act for all, without regard to pedigree or social standing. SECOND WARDER. “Con- to turn a AMONG EX-SOLDIERS War Casualties Are Just Becom- ing Known Indianapolis, Ind., June 1.—The worst casualties suffered by American soldiers during the world war are just beginning to show themselves. By contrast troops wounded on the battlefields are lucky compared with the greatly increased casualties of to- day, according to C.J.

There are two ways in which the Legion hopes to minister to these mental cases and to prevent their in- crease, Mr. Harris points out. The Langly bill, now law, provides $17,- 000,000 for the construction of new hospitals.

Fowler of Nevada is Affirmed. Carson, Nev., June 1.—Mary Pick- ford's divorce from Owen Moore was sustained when the Nevada supreme court affirmed the order of District Judge Frank P. Langan quashing serv- ice of summons in the action brought by Attorney General Folvler to set aside the decree granted the movie actress. The divorce of Mary Pickford, from Owen Moore, also a screen favorite, at Minden, Nev., March 20, 1920, pre- nitated an action by the state for the dissolution of the decree on the s.vuna taat Miss Pickford’s residence in the state had not covered the per- iod required by law. The district court, in which the divorce was grant- ed, was asked to review its decision and reverse itself, but held that the action had been regular and that the decree would stand. Miss Pickford married Douglas Fairbanks two weeks after the divorce. San Francisco, June 1.—“T am very, very happy, more happy than 1 can express,” said Mary Pickford, when informed of the dectsion of the Ne- vada supreme court upholding her divorce from Owen Moore, according to her counsel, Gavin McNab, who telephoned the news to her in Los Angeles. ZION CHURCH ANNUAL BAZAAR. The Busy Bee club of the A. M. E. Zi~n church is holding the annual bu. aar at the church and it continues through Friday. The club has worked hard to make the bazaar a success. There will be many fancy articles on exhibitfon. A lunch will be served each evening. Thursday evening members of the Hartford and Meri- den church choirs will sing and there will be a “Tom Thumb Wedding"” given by the Sunday school. Friday evening the Big Brothers' association will have charge of the program. This will close the social activities for the year as Rev. Mr. Washington will at- tend the annual conference, which begins the 7th of June in Boston. It is the hope of the pastor that mem- bers and friends will be able to real- ize an amount, sufficiently large to make the vear's deficit. All tercen- tenary pledges are due on next Sun- day.
