AND THE U, §, LOOKS ON One does not have to be an argent admirer of former President Wilson to sec the significance of his stand as he spoke to 5,000 people who went to his home on Armistice Day. Off in Constantinople the Turks are demand- ing the immediate departure of the allles, 1t is reported that they have 8,000 Greeks and Armenians marked for death—death that General Har- {ngton, there on. the ground, fears may come quickly If the Lausanne peace conference s postponed. The speclal representative of the Ameri- can Rellef organization is urging com- pliance with the Turkish demands as the only means of avoiding a disaster s _ worse than that of Smyrna. And the United States looks on. No one will urge that the United States “should send men to that land now to fight and die for the principle that will eventually be recognized as right. It is too late for the United States to do that thing. The tragic part of it all is that the situation has arisen where another tefrible massacre is {mminent, when, had not this country shown so unmistakably its determina- tion to keep “hands off” no such dan- . .ger would probably have arisen. Eng- land was fine and strong when she finally came to take the stand against granting further concession® to the Surks. But it came too late. Even Gen- eral Harington says thot the situation demands haste now as the representa- tive of the American Relief organiza- tion emphasizes that those lives must - be saved. “Principle” is something to fight for. But “principle” will not hold back the swords of those filled with a “desire to kill. Former President Wilson was wrong in refusing to “dot an ‘i’ or cross a 4% but the idea behind his League of Nations is vindicated, horribly vin- dicated, by the situation in Con- stantinople today. REAL ESTATE MEN “The real estate man comes in in- timate, personal contact with the in- timate, personal affairs of ghe people, especlally in a city of this size and in smaller cities. Possibly -only the physiclan and the clergyman and, in a few unfortunate cases, the lawyer, deal so directly with fathers and * mothers of families. There should be as strict a code of ethics among them as there is among clergymen and a; there usually is among physicians and lawyers. An unscrupulous real estate man may advise action regarding the home that would result in years of unhappiness. He is instinctively trust- ed even more, perhaps, than the bank- er, with whom the client does not _come in such intimate contact. It is for this reason that the move among the real cstate men of this city, members of the New Britain Real Es- tate Board to have a law passed creat- ing real estate commissions and to li- cense brokers and salesmen, should be encouraged. Fourteen states are satis- fled with such a law which they have adopted. Protection of the public is desired and also the raising of the standards of practice and the ethics of the profession. Housing shortages are being com- plained of everywhere, and New Brit- ain 1s not exempt. The large number of the building permits taken out here during the summer and even up to last month indicate that building will flourish. The new industry at Plain- ville will be another incentive to build- ing. Certainly real estate men have a decidedly worthy place in the scheme of things. They are of great help; they are needed. Any move to main- tain a high standard of ethics in the profession, and any move to keep un- desirables out of it, will be weicomed. THE INSTITUTE This will be an attractive week at the New Britain Institute. Not only will it be a week when books for the ghildren are explained and shown, to the end that a wise selection may be made for them, but, beginning Wed- nesday there will be an exhibition of modern painting brought to the Insti- tute by the Women's club. People who think that “any old book” is good enough to give the chil- dren, provided it has pictures and pro- vided it is made strong enough so that it will not be at once demolished, may not be especially interested in the children’s books to be shown-—al- though many of them have pretty pletures and many are fifmly bound. J ’ NEW BRITAIN DAILY ‘HERALD, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1022, But it Is suggested that if such peo- ple would go to the library this week children's books things that such and and ask about the they might learn some would Interest them: why such a beok s good for children, ete, People who think that “any old ple- ture” is good cnough to cover up a spot or a blank space on the wall, are not r-s;u-cl.lly interested in the art exhibit. Many of them, perhaps have never seen a real picture, If, however, they would go to the institute the last days of this week perhaps they would I|n:!/|u the sight of paintings by real urtists, that they had missed much of the enjoyment life holds, Learning about children's books and about good pictures may not ine crease a man's business one dollar's worth direetly, or may not fatten his pay envglope. But it will give him something of great value and the mo- ment he begins to find that fact out that moment he begins to become more truly wealthy, ! MOTTOF, On many desks in New Britain are little signs reading “Do It Now." Per- haps the words are hung up on the wall, Wherever they are they repre- sent someone's idea of the wisdom of doing a thing when it is time to do it ~and that is usually *“Now."” Mottoes are of value only if used “according to directions.”” Otherwise they might just as well be discarded. . In the dressing room of the Prince- ton football players there is a printed motto: “KFollow the Ball.” Freely translated this commands the -players to keep thelr eyes on the thing which must be placed or kicked in a certain way across the goal line of the op- posing team, or kicked over the goal between certain uprights. In order to carry the ball over, or to kick the ball, the ball must be obtained. “Following” the ball is necessary before it may be secured. After it has been “followed” it must be seized. Yy It was the practical, cffective obey- ing of his command that won the Princeton-Harvard football game by Princeton on Saturday. The ball was fumbled and darted out of the mass. Two men were upon it. The Princeton man obeyed the motto that hung in his dressing room—victory resulted, The quality in the Princeton team, previously commented upon here, which makes for alertness and the grasping of opportunities, as opposed to the following of preconceived plans, won for that team. And all over.the country there is being seen the wisdom. of the same precept. \ TO A GALLANT TEAM To the football gladiators: of the High school, New Britain extends its right hand in heartiest congratulation on their manly exhibition against the Hartford High school eleven last Sat- urday. Qutweighed, but not out- gamed, ‘New Britain went down with colors flying. In victory, the team would have been magnificent; in de- feat it was heroic. . There have been other years—many other years—when New Britain finish- ed on the large slde of the score so that anoccasional reverse should not discourage the players or the loyal rooters for the Red and Gold. This year's result yas the exception to the rule, and every rule must have its ex- ceptions, It should make the athletes at the school all the more determined to wrest back the laurels next year, It should remove all petty personal jealousies, if they exist, and fuse the student body into an aggressive, single-purpose unit with the honor of the school as the main goal. Hartford had every physical reason to win, In weight the Capital City men exceélled by many pounds. Even the Hartford people must have admired the pluck and grit of the lighter New Britain eleven which was trying as hard to win at the final whistle as it tried at the first kickoff. It was the ancient duel between David and Goliath, but this time the decision favored the giant. Such a defeat as was recorded Satur- day never rankles. Rather are the de- feated glorified above their conquerors. Quitting before superior odds is one thing; fighting to the last gasp know- ing that the odds are all on“the other side is something else. And what New Britain High school foot- ball team did Saturday. It was'a team of which the city can well be proud. EDUCAT1ON OF WORKERS city is the report of a committee on shop training of the American Socie- iy of Mechanical engineers. That re- port accentuates the shortage of skill- lines of the positions the workers fill. This value is appreciated by workmen more than ever befgre, says the re- port and omploytrd’ are geéing the advantages of it likewise, to the ex- tent, sometimes, of having the fore- men spend some of their time fn teaching the men under them. It is probable that many workers feel their foremen teach them nothing. This may be true, But as the employers recognized the increased dividends they receive from the work of men who are studying their work, they will provide teachers, either the foreman or others better fitted to im- part the knowledge they have. The idea is good even scen in this limited lght. Certainly * instruction 1 can that's Of especial interest to people in this ed labor, the raising of the standards of workmen and the practical value being placed on education along “the in the work a man s dolng makes employer increased him of more value to his and, therefore, when such value |3 recognized, able to earn more money. But the ideal is a good one beyond that, Many young men enter certain work, progress and gét to carning the highest wage possible in that line, Here they remain and grow old, becoming more and more dis- satisfied, more and more sorry, per- haps, that they did not turn their mental talents to something more productive, The Increasing recognition of the Importance of education in practical lines is an. incentive for every worker to carry that education even farther, of his own initiative, It shows him. the chance to become a leader in the line in which he might remalin a private forever were it not for education in his work. A POOR LOSER Alice Robertson, defeated for re- election to Congress, says she has “been insulted by the citizenship of the'city for which I long have fought and made sacrifi " 8he goes on to say that when she lcaves congress she will go back to her home city of Mus- koghe just to get her supnmer clothes. The Herald has persistently | praised ‘the energetic women of this city and of the country for their splendid activities that the paper be- gan to fear smiling allusions would be made to it as a “feminist.”” But the fine character of the work women are doing everywhere seemed to leave nothing to 'be given them except praise; Even a person of somewhat evil reputation who 1s reported ‘to dwell in a warm land where the rivers and lakes are supposed to be far too hot for comfort 1s ‘“entitled to his due.” Certainly the estimable sex should recelve its deserts, and praise predominates. But the observer of events cannot refrain from commepting upon Miss Robertson's poor losing spirit. The country, including the faithful of her own city, probably expected something unusually fine from a woman in con- gress. They read of her common- sense remarks; they admired her frank liberality in certain directions, such as her refusal to denounce the knickerbockers for young ~women. And, conversely, the people did not expect that she would fall into a “reg- ular” party niche and vote “regularly’ on all occu’ulons. seeing nothing but wisdom and good in the orders of the “powers-that-be” in her party. And this, apparently, is what she did. So, true, woman as she is, she will go home only to get her summer clothes. 80 Facts and Fancies (BY ROBERT QUILJEN), The grin worn by a “good loser” is chagrin. It's a rare epidemic that doesn't start in the third gradgy “That's a darned smart man” is equivalent to saying: “That chap agrees with me.” American captain, as the ship enters a port of call: “Twenty minutes for hootch." “Grandma Felton will be Senator in name only.” Well, well; so many are like that. That Kerman clock that won't tick may be aremarkable invention, #ml we have two watches in that fix. 2TAMPS A hick town is one where the people still have falth in special delivery stamps, “Man and wife in suicide pact.” Probably they understood the preach- er to say "Love, honor and perish."” Man is a peculiar animal, and Sims probably won't enjoy raising cain now that he is free to do it. Correct this sentence: “Mamma” wailed the small boy, “can't I put on my nice scratchy ones this morning?” Europe is badly crowded, but there is no recent evidence that this con- dition affects it above the cars. men's They've the Life insuranée people say waists are getting larger, probably been measuring over hips. Licker may be spelled with one or two k's, depending on the locality, but there is the same amount of 'l in it WA After all, it's a fair arrangement. The power is delivered to the rear axle, and the advice comes from the rear seat. Wouldn't it be a good idea, also, for the driver to make some speelal sig- nal when he is preparing to be an ass?

CATHOLICS TO HAVE GAMP AT LAKEVILLE Bishop - Nilan Tenders Site to Gonnegticut Council of Women Over 800 women from all parts of the state attended the second annual convention of the Connecticut Coun- cil of Cathollc Women held Saturday at the Hotel Bond in Hartford, Miss Marguerite T. Boylan, state chairman, presided. Reports of splendid achieve- ments during the year by county and local branches; address by Rt. Rev. John J. Nilan, bishop of Hartford, tev. Matthew J. Judge, diocesan di- rector of charities, and Miss Helen P. McCormick, assistant district attorney of Brooklyn, N. Y.; and a unamrimous vote to open a diocesan vacation camp for women and girls next summer,— all these features combined to make this second annual convention a suct cess in every way. The decision to establish a diocesan summer camp was the most impor- tant business conducted at the meet- ing and promises to be one of ¢he most important steps taken by the councll thus far. Bishop Nilan, who is deeply interested in the project, has placed at the disposal of the council a plece of property in Lakeville, Conn. The site is ideal, Lakeville being one of the most tavored resort centers in the state. Bathing, fishing and hik- ing can be enjoyed' to the = utmost. There is space for' tennis courts on the grounds. The plan includes pro- lvision for a recreation leader and for an education program through lec- tures. The building offers a choice of single rooms, double rooms and dor- mitory accommodations. fhe importance of this plan . can hardly be overcstimated, as such a camp'will be a great step. iuv advance in bringing the members of the coun- Jeil and the young girls of the dio- cese closer together. The opportuni- ties for the up-building of health, character and education through this means are untoid. Over $3,000 was pledged by county {and local chairmen towards the fund needed to renovate and cquip the fu- ture camp headquarters. The pledges were as follows: Mrs, John D. Des- mond for New Haven county, $1,000; [Miss Mae E. Kenneally for Middlesex |county, $500; Miss Mary P. O'Flaher- Ity and Mrs, James Quinn for Hartford Ivourfly, $600; Mrs. M. J. Flanagan for |Wairfield county, $300; Mrs. Jane |Smith for Litchfield county, $300.

Skinner of Maple Hill was re-elected ‘president of the Every- man’s Bible class at the annual elec- tion of.officera yesterday morning at the Methodist church, J, M. Burdick was elected first vice-president, Arthur J. Parker second vice-presi- dent and E, W. Christ third vice- president. Fred O. Rackliffe was elect- ed treasurer and E. M. Preble sec- retary, with Bert M. Armstrong, as- sistant secretary. During the business session yester- day, a vote was, taken to adopt the new constitution #nd byslaws which were published in the issue of the| Everyman's Bible class paper on Oc- tober 7. These new by-laws called for the annual election of officers on the last S8unday of May and for four vice-presidents. President R. B, Skinner did not at- tend the meeting yesterday as he was_in Philadelphia addressing a Bible class there. Announcement was also made to the effect that next Sunday, a special invitationwwould be extended to the wives, mothers, sisters or sweethearts of the class members to attend the | session. The invited guests will be assembled in the Sunday school room which is able to'accommoda® ap- proximately 200, Several new faces were seen at the meeting yesterday and visitors came from as far as Woonsocker, Rhode Island, Rockville, Hartford, | Storrs, Waterbury, Bridgeport, | Canaan, Stafford Springs and Glaston- bury. A delegation of 11 attendea from -Bridgeport. Rev, John L. Davis introduced to the class one of his old friends from New York, James R. Stevenson, who is a contractor there. Mr. Stevenson was given a warm greeting by the members. Rev. Mr, Davis, in opening his ad- dress, made an appeal for the Rea Cross and asked the gathering to be- come members and to support the cause. His topic yesterday was on, “The Power of Progressive Thougnt.” He dwelt largely on the accom- plishment of great men such as Sir Issac Newton who discovered gravity by deducing why an apple should falr to the ground. Such rorces of con- tinuous reasoning, said the speaker, was called high intelligence, Bern- jamin Franklin discovered electricity by reasoning and progressive thought. The Rell telephone: was invented by the same method as was the present day wireless. Rev. Mr. Davis gave an example of what he called, “Units of Comparl- son,” whereby one unit, coupled with others forms a larger one until it finally grows and a progressive power is eventually born of it. THe more units one has, the more intelligence, said the speaker. By the same method standards of value have been devised, “Long ago,” said Rev. Mr. Davis, “the physically and financially equip- ped ‘person was the most powerful, Times have changed howeéver and the present day calls for the intelligent person to lead. Years back, the col- ored people were slaves, the Romans were free to kill others because they simply were Romans, but today the steady progress of intelligence has led to higherqideals and autocracy has been done away with.” *Why, T believe in years to gome; the people of thit time will look back upon our methods of living as béing heathenous or appear barbarous, sim- ply because progressive thought will continue and times will chauge. Some great inventor, when our coal” ficlds and forests are gone, will devise some scheme of saving the heat of the suh for our homes. Who knows what great discoveries are to come? The greatest of them all are still on the way,"” I Following thegspeaking, an an- houncement was made to the effect that A. J. Sjovall, a member ‘of ‘the Red army, was a patent at the New Britain hospital. The total attendance yesterday was 055, the Red army having 214, the }Vhlte army 80, and the Blue army, 251, TWO WILDCATS THAI'!‘EI) One Makes Connecticut Record of 30 8 . Pounds New London, Nov.
