It raises the funds considered for the success- ful maintenance of welfare organiza- tions in whole part. The amount needed each year for this purpose is decided upon annually and one drive carried to funds. If, for any reason, the United Community corporatiomreceives funds from any before that drive is planned, the natural result is that the sum as the to be raijsed on that drive is just so much less. Having received a certain sum it is able to reduce the sum necessary to be raised by the drive by just that amount. interested in seeing that the amount needed by the Community * cororation annually is raised. necessary or in on raise such sources set amount Every person in this city is United Tomorrow there will be held a con- cert in Fox's theater the proceeds of which will to the United Community corporation.

It is a local affair given by the New Britain Musical club which has in the past furnished the music lovers of the city with great pleasure.

But numbers which calm response country it was more than the moved the New York bankers to en- thuslasm-—and when bankers are moved to enthusiasm something quite out of the common has happened. When talking privately they allow the reflection of that enthusiasm lq, Ap- pear on their faces. They are con- vinced that the general confidence of the bankers from all over the country will be the inspiration of confidence on the part of the people because that eonfidence possesses nothing of the artificial, has no false note, but is founded on the actual situation in the United States which augurs well for the years immediately ahead of husiness and industry. The response to the government's offer of the re- funding loan is but cumulative evi- dence of the prevalence of that feel- ing of confidence. SHIPS AND LIQUOR. Practically all thinking people agree upon one thing in connection with the Daugherty decision as to liquor on ships, American and foreign. That point of agreement is that it is well the ships of the United States government shall carry liquor. Complex legal questiops, the most eeroius of which involve internationa! law, enter into the discussion of whether or not Daugherty's opinion as to foreign ships and privately owned ships bound for the high— and free—seas, 18 proper. But starting with this one matter upon which all agree, namely that liquor must be kept off the govern- ment ships, what was the administra- tion to do after it had conclusion? This is not an apology for the decision. It is merely a sug- gestion as to the process of reasoning which may well have entered into the may not reached that rming of that opinion which have been influenced by considera- tions other than legal. ships.

Consternation comes to those who cry that the mad rush of life is killing people off rapidly, that the families is shrinking because of the unwillingness of the modern to have children and that this good old country of ours is going to the dogs generally. For figures just given out Washington show the death rate for 1921 is lower than was that of 1920 that the birth for 1921 was higher than the birth rate of the were twice as many births as deaths last year and fewer of the children dled than died in size of woman at and rate year before.

At his first appearance in New Britain during the campaign, Colonel Ringham of New Haven, republican candidate for ljeutenant-governor, ex- horted his listeners, all of whom he assumed to heé good republicans, to let slip no opportunity to work for purty success. He assured them that winning a victory this year would not be a sinecure and that the ticket could not be elected unless the rank and file of the party removed their coats and sweat early and often in an effort to corral votes, Other speakers on the platform reechoed Colonel Bingham's words, approving of his statements and endorsing his senti- ments, At another rally held in a neighbor- ing down this week the speaker was Congressman E. Hart Fenn, republi- can candidate for re-election. Taking a tack directly opposite to that pur- sued by Colonel Bingham, he pre- dicted that the G. O. P. candidates would be swept into office by a plurality of 50,000, According to his view, victory is already assured and there is not a remote possibility of the glemocrats being returned to power in Connecticut. In order to avoid unpleasant situa- tions of this nature, it might be well for political speakers to match nowes before advancing to the footlights and putting the pitcher of water and the goblet within each reaching distance. Despite Mr. Fenn's predictions, re- publicans realize that they must work hard to win. Mr. Fenn is an excep- tion to the general run of party lead- ars, most of whom are cautioning against over-confidence and urging| their lieutenants to leave no stone un- | turned. Mr. Fenn may be speaking his con- victions or he may be giving expres- | sion to his hopes. His chances of being sent back to Washington are| not as bright as some of his friends wish they were. He has a worthy antagonist in ex-Mayor “Joe" Dutton of Bristol who reports that he is re- ceiving assurances of support wher-| eyer he goes. He is waging a quiet campaign throughout the district and i confident that he will succeed to Mr. Fenn's seat. The campaign for congressman has | not progressed to the point where it is possible to gauge the probable re- sult. This fact is unfavorable to re- publicanism because usually the G. O. | P. is blandly certain of carrying the iay long before the voters go to the| polls.

However, this might be taken care of by charging an amusement tax against the spectators, the pro- ceeds to go to the general state funds, v PR Unless the democrats losé no time in strengthening thelr frontlers there will be a sweeping publie invasion this fall. Thus far, the democrats have done nothing but fight among them- |selves, much to the delight of the G. O. P. leaders who have sat- on the terminate themselves. When Mayor Paonessa was elected, it was evident that Registrar Smith was to he [ his chief adviser. Mr. Smith is reported to have had con- siderable influence in the selection of commissioners and other officials who were not acceptable to the party as a {whole. Consequently, there has been more or less furore and more or less dissatisfaction. But Mr. Smith con- tinued to hold the fort. It is said that the dispute which has been in progress concerning the election of a chairman of the town committee has raged around the opposition to Mr. Smith, the anti-Paonessa faction lin- fng up solidly against him and his chofce for chairman. There is even talk that an effort will be made . to supersede Mr. Smith as registrar when he comes up for nomination again. PR In the current issue of the “Clothier and Furnisher,” a magazine devoted to the men's clothing trade, appears advertising, which we pass along for the benefit of those who need to be convinced. The publication says: ““No campaign for the sale of men's clothing is complete without a pro- portion of the advertising appropria- tion being devoted to newspaper ad- vertising. This subject is so big that volumes have already been written about it, and the proper methods to pursue. There is but one plece of ad- vice upon which all authorities seem to agree and that is that the hest re- sults from newspaper advertising from constantly keeping at it and the most sucoessful merchants are those who recognize this fact, whether their announcements occupy full pages daily or a small single column space.” Good advice for the clo@ing mer- chant or any other business man who wishes to interest the public in what he has to sell. . .. While press agents for the west have been cornering space in which to laud their part of the country, hardly anything has been said in favor of the South.

W. B. Rossberg has withdrawn from the race because of anticipated applica-| tion of a business venture which hel now has under consideration. Mrs. Kimball has likewise declined to be- come a contestant for nomination for representative, thus taking some )f the interest out of life. The dec- aration by the Quigley faction that‘ it would support Mrs. Kimball and| Henry W. Rice gave promise of & nerry little war within the ranks. Many women hoped that Mrs. Kimball would seek the honor because they would like to see their sex represent- 1 from this district. However, she %nows her own business best. Her lecision not to run was not exactly to the liking of the Quigley workers, | many of whom thought they had made | a ten strike in aligning her with their cause. Mrs. Kimball was one of Mr. Quigley’'s most ardent workers when | he aspired to succeed Mr. Curtis as mayor. Apparently the entente is not of a permanent nature, E. W. Christ and Judge B. W. Al- ling are picked to win the nomina- tions although Mr. Rice and George W. Wells are by no means without their supporters. They may be able to convince the registered republican voterg that they, rather than Messrs. Christ and ling, should be sent to Hartford. The latter two are said o e favored by party leaders who be- ljeve they would make a popular team at the polls. PR Little or no enthusiasm has greeted the proposed nomination by the dem- ocrats of Thomas J. Smith for senator and P. 8. McMahon and M. T. Ker- win for representatives. That Is to say, there is no enthusiasm in demo- cratic circles. Republicans wildly ap- prove of the idea because they are confident that they can save their money and reduce the speaking strain on thelr candidates to a minimum if the Smith-MeMahon-Kerwin slate should be named. It is not at all certain that the triumvirate will be successful. Thoughtful democrats have expressed the opinion that the ticket would be weakened rather than strengthened by the nomination of such a slate and they insist that they will have some- thing to say about it or make their displeasure keenly felt at the polls. For the sake of adding to the levity of the proceedings at the capitol in Hartford, there are quite a few who are in favor of nominating and elect- ing Mr. McMahon. These folks be- lieve that there is not enough inter- est shown in the General Assembly by the public.
