It one looks back through today, yesterday or the day before that, and considers the people with whom one has transacted business it will be seen that women have predominated. In shopping, of course, most of the pur- chages have been made from women. In offices there have been transactions with Wwomen stenographers, clerks. In other matters there have been ‘business talks with women. Collectively the men of New Brit- aln, as the men of other cities, should pause and take off their hats respect- fully to the women who work. Trajned for generations to expect men to support them they have thrown aside traditional handicaps. True, some will say ‘that- they, have sacrificed other good qualities in the process, but it must be remembered that the present is a transition stage. The pendulum is swinging far in one ‘dlreetlon and will presently fall back $o & more safe position. Many of the disagreeable features wliil disappear and there will be left only the splendid picture of women taking a self-sup- porting position when it is proper for them to do so—and women making the most of the mental talents with which they have been endowed. These local women who work or- ‘ganized. Their-organization has pros: pered. Credit should be given them All honor to the women who concelved, organized and continued the Business and Profes- sional Women’s cidb and to the mem- bérl ‘whn sustain it in the -highest spirit of Womanhood—womanhood . which 'should: be spiritually free whether as the soul and heart of the family or one of the cogs' of the great business or .professional ma- — - TWO MEN DIE. Thomas Nelson Page, author and former Ambassador to Italy, died on Wednesday. Yesterday Thomas De ‘Witt Cuyler, noted rallway executive ended his life of hard work. In the taking from the world the sources of such weanlth as the minds of these men produced, people may well feel that the work to be done by those who remain becomes more dificult 1f the richness of the world's life is to be maintained. .. + As Ambassador to Italy for six e e AT A S A Tr years Mr. Page displayed qualities probably unsuspected by many, but certainly known to be in the man by former - President Wilson whose ap- pointee he was. '“Marse Chan,” the delightful pen-creation of Thomas Nelson Page the author, was known and Joved and it is for his ability to portray such characters and place them in the atmosphere which pic- tured truth that Mr. Page will be longest remembered. But his under- standing of human nature, as evinced in his writings, played no small part in his successful diplomatic life, and his reputation as a writer suffered not at all by his record in the other fleld ot service. Strong strokes of the artist's brush characterize the portrait of Thomas De Witt Cuyler, He happened to give his talents to the transportation of the world, He was a leader and he ‘would have led in whatever path he had taken., His achlevements, bring- ing him to the chairmanship of“the rallway executives' association, were the result of a strong personality aided always by persistent, hard work. His stand recently in keeping his promise to the 800,000 railway workers who remained at their posts during the strike that they would not suffer in their senlority rights, although a much easier way out of the strike situation was presented, was characteristic of that firmness. The lives and activities of these two men, passing into the long quiet almost simultaneously, suggest to the thoughtful the vast range of life's ‘ possibilities. LOCAL ISSUES. “What are the local issues in the present campaign? Will Little John- nies Jones step forward and repeat them? No? What is that, Johnnle? Oh, you say that you think ‘one of the issues is the price of coal? No, Johnnie, that is not an Issue. The men we send to the legislature and the Senate don't fix the price of coal—not yet. Ah, Little Sallie 8mith wants to say something. Put down your hand, E.allle and stand up. What is that, Sallle? No, you are wrong, too. The proper charge for a lawyer to make for obtaining a jitney ocers tificate 18 not an issue of this local campaign. Sit down, Sallle, “Well, Teddle Toughboy, what do you want to say? Stand up, Teddle, don't be afrald-—what is it? And Teddie, please use correct lAnguage when you recite, Hemember you ure speaking to )ttle ladies and gentle- men, What are the issues of Lhis local campaign, Teddi¢? * ¢ * Oh, Teddie, Teddie, how terribly you have disappointed your tencher. No, Ted~ dle, the {ssues of this campuign are not whether New Britain representa- tives shall be men who favop govern- ment by the many in the interests of the ‘many or by the few In the interests of the few. T will ask Mo more questions, Some day, after the election s over, 1 will_tell you all what the issues of this local cam- paign were. i NEW BRITAIN—YESTERDAY, Twenty-five years ago DeWolf Hop- per, then at the top of his fame as a musical comedian, appeared in this city In the comle “EI Capitan,” Since that day, Hopper, the elongated en- tertainer, has gone on amusing with his numerous productions and all the time making a tremendous hit with his recitation of “Casey at the Bat.” The man has prospered—though incldentally “El Capitan” was not as enjoyable a play as "“Wang" or many others in his repertoirei baseball, the subject of “Casey at the DBat" has prospered, and New Britain has pros- pered. But the play, the stage has not retained its place as a source of entertainment. True, we enjoy it still, but we are not as dependent upon it as people were then. Other forms of entertainment and amuse- ment have taken its place. No one has taken Hopper's place; no game has taken baseball's place; no city has taken New Britain's place. But we do not have the play here, .and in the facts that other forms of en- tertainment have come into the play's fleld while the other factors of the gituation remain as they were yes- terday, may be seen the reason for New Britain’s getting along very nicely withouf the play. It simply i not demanded. We would like to have it Mere. We would enjoy see- ing good actors and good plays. But the progress of life has been 'such that the desire is not as compelling as it was twenty-five years ago. New Britain certainly has not retrograded; {here -‘are ~other ‘Hoppers" today. The supply i8 there, but there is a lack of the compelling demand and for that lack lite's inoreasing business may be blamed. \ ) D, ST s I WELL, WHAT,OF 1T? Suppose the obviolisi things are granted. People in this locality are more comfortable today because the weather has treated them well. Now, in November, no protracted cold spell has emphasized the unpleasant coal situation. That is one of ‘the otbvious things. The city is pretty well off because there {s practically no suffer- ing from unemployment. That is another obvious thing. Nothing more distressing than politics—and perhaps that is distressing enough—concerns us at the immediate moment. No one can be given credit for the moderate weather. No person; or group can be prasied for the Jack of unemployment—unless one wishes to enter into a protracted political dis- cussion. In other words our falrly comfortable condition is the result of conditions over which men have had no control. Laws which men did not formulate are responsible, They are natural laws; and there are laws of supply and demand. Well, what of it? i There is this ‘“of it.” When the chance comes, as it does often, to encourage a movement that will bene- fit others than ourselves, at no cost to ourgelves, it wouldn't hurt to remember that we have been benefited through no action of our own. Re- membering this, one might well be inspired to give the good movement a “push”. This is no academic the- ory, no sermon on “helping the other fellow.” It is merely the emphasizing of the fact that because real, prac- tical advantages come to us without initiative on our part we will be more practical men and women, more effi- clent, because we partake less of the qualities of the parasite, if wé give something to others. Perhaps we have not worried because of an empty coal bin. The weather kept us from suffering. Perhaps we own a house which needs repairing so that the wind won't blow through it. Repair- ing thet house would add value to our property, and would make our ten- ants more comfortable. That's a con- crete illustration. And that's that! \ SCHOOL PLANS. 1t is practicing economy to make adequate plans now for the school buildings that are needed now and those that will surely be needed soon. The New Britain school, committee realizes pretty well difficult it is to get favorable action on plans that seem to touch the future. The members of that committee, intensely interested in school matters, havg, had difficulty in providing for the imme- dlate needs. They arg not at all inclined to be optimistie about how plans for the future will be recelved. An indication of this situation was ghown in the arrangement decided upon to place the needs in a list, the how RN most important being mentioned fi the least important last, The school committee has adopted the recommendations of the sub-com« mittee calling for an expenditure of $667,000, Of course the cry ‘put some of it off" will bhe raiged, The polnt to be emphasized Is that the eity must practice economy. It will be practicing economy to authorize a sum. sufficient to meet all the needs as they appear. “Putting it off" would be extravagance, It ls not likely that a better market™ for municipal bonds will come for some years, It is probable that the muni- cipal bond market will not be as good as it is at present a few months from now, perhaps, Meecting those needs now would be practicing economy in the wisest sense, the biggest sense, Then when it comes to letting of con- tracts and purchasing appointments for the schools there will be other opportunities, not only to practice economy but also to see to it that a wise policy of awarding contracts, by means of sealed bids, and of accépt- ing only articles which come up to specifications, is adopted, Facts and Fancies (BY ROPERT QUILILEN), The meek not only inherit the earth, but manhage to keep rather good cooks. Beauty, hints are . unnecessary. Beauty gets what it wants without hinting. All things come to him who baits with a promise of something for nothing, Is there no modern Tennyson to give up a touching ballad anent seal- ing the bar? If Lloyd George rieeds a slogan wherewith to come back, he might try: = “He kept us out of war.” The chief fault of a representative govérnment is that it represents too many conflicting ideas. ‘When planning a ‘modern party, the hostess must provide something for the young folks to do between kisses. “The world’s cannon fodder is show- ing a commendable eagerness to end its days where charity begins, And 1t ‘mdy be that more theories would work if they were shown a better example by the theorists. It's a sad world, and the last sum- mer freckles usually hang over to greet the first winter chilblains. And yét an employee who delivers the goods {s worth a gross of .those who are merely “loyal to the house.’” The greatest enemy of the Christian religion isn't the Turk, but the preachér who has to explain and re- sign.

The office boy says he would rather be the president than Babe Ruth now, because the president isn't through.

The court expressed re- gret at being unable to give the life term, Within thirty minutes after sen- tence was pronounced, Wilson was en route to Marquette in charge of two officers. Wilson had’ nothing to say’ when sentence was passed. He stood look-| ing at the judge while * several offi- cers surrounded him. The court room was jammed despite efforts to keep the arraignment and sentenc- ing quiet. Child Slowly Recovering, The child was roported last night recovering from mistreatment and exposure, at a‘farmhouse near Dublin. It was belleved she could be hrought to a hospital here in sev- eral days. It may be months, how- ever, the physiclans sald, before she regalns normal mental state. No effort was made yesterday to have the girl tell the story of her two days wandering through the forest after she was released by her abductor, but In her delirlum some idea of her experience was given. “T remember when he pushed me into the car and I remember him,” Rosalle sald with a shudder. “We rode and rode and then " and her mind wandered again. ' Once she spoke of being forced to enter a vacant house in the ‘woods. Found Only By Chance, It was only by chance that the child was found alive, the forest in which she was lost being one of the wildest spots in lower Michigan with few farms and roads. A farmer found her in the wilderness as he was looking for livestock that had gone astray. 2 Wilson's Statement. In his statement to the authorities, Wilson was quoted as saying he en- ticed the child into his automobile as she was leaving a church here Sun- day, drove her about the city for a time, then started for Dublin. Near that town, the reported statement sald, Rosalle became alarmed and asked to be let out of the car. Wilson said he left her near a farmhouse and then returned to Grand Rapids. The prisoner sald he was intoxicated when he took the gixl into his machine and was unable to explain his action, U.

(By Assoclated Press)—A remark made yesterday by Major John Jacob Astor who said: “I am transferring my wealth from America to this country,” was treat- ed as a big item of -news in this morning’s papers. One headline read: “Astor 'millions coming here.” By some it was assumed that the major who is a brother of Viscount Astor merely referred to his recent invest- ment in Lord Northcliffe's share ot the London Times stock which he and J. A. Walter purchased for more than $6,000,000 but others gave the re- mark . a more ~sensational turn. Major Astor, who is'contesting for a seat from Dover in the coming clec- tions, made the statement in replying to a heckler who Inquired whether he was going to expose his own wealth to British taxation.

DEAD MAN AN IMPOSTOR Army Officials Declare Man Who Died in Govt, Hospital Was Not Hero, as He Had Claimed. Boston, Nov. 3.—State officials of the American L.egion have requested the parents of Harry Allsup of Cov- ington, ‘Ky., to send them a photo- graph of their son in further effort to determine whether the man who died $79.00 in a government hospital here last week was Allsup and a war veteran -or an impostor, as alleged by army intelligence officers. The body will be buried with military honors f it proves to be that of a former service man, Willlam H. Doyle, state Leglon commander, said, he had wired the Allsups for a 'plotura of their son, as well as other evidences -of his war service.
