Unfortunately, this cannot be done. Mayor Paonessa suggests that two separate taxes be levied, one to pro- vide money for general city expenses and the other to raise funds for the administration of public schools. He does not intimate that by the, adop- tion of this plan there will be any alleviation of ills which beset tax- payers when they receive their “please remit” notices from the city. Per- haps he believes that such an ar- rangement would have that psycho- logical effect. Naturally, mayors always want make as good a showing as possible on the balance sheet. They dislike the idea of shouldering any financial burdens in the creation of which they had no direct part. When complaint is made that city expenses are rising to dizzy heights, it is very convenient for them to have someone near-by at whom they can point the finger of blame. Tt is a human weakness in which humble citizens, as well as grandees, share. ‘The mayor need not feel distreseed at not having . es- caped fit. For some yecars heads of city gov- ernments have been worried by the increasing cost of maintainingy the schools. It has been a weighty sub- ject, the importance of which we would | mot | atfempt to deprecate. | Sometimes the cost of the school sys- tem. has been discussed withisincerity. At other times it has heen used as & politieay smiake screen to hide extrav- agance:in other city departments, No one'can deny that the expense of ‘building, equipping. and maintain- 1ng‘1ubhoql “houses is high. Neither " can g:\‘ygup‘ deny that we have a splendtd school system. This fact sticks out ‘Hke Pike's Peak on a moonlight Aight—New Britain is giv- ing children and adults who need in- struction the very best that money can buy. Frafnkly we cannot see any advan- tage to be gained by adopting Mayor Paonessa’s suggestion to have two budgets and two tax levies. Tt might mean two sets of books and two sets of bookkecperu. Under present meth- ods there can be no doubt about where the money is going. If any interested citizen is anxious to learn how it is being spent he can do so by examining the records as they are Yow kept. Regardless of whether expenses are kept under one heading or two head- ings, the total would be the same at the end of the year. Two plus two equals four, always, were to JOHN BULL HIMSELF AGAIN.

And for the good of the world and England ineidentally it is to be hoped no sueh emergency will threaten BAS Start with the statement that the American baséball players are defeat- ing the Japanese badly on their home grounds, The team from the United States beat Kelogijuku university 12 [to 0. ana the Waseda university 13 to 0 recently. Immediately comes the question, Why? Skill In baseball comes from speed, dexterity, ability to handle the ball cleanly, ability to hit the ball, mental ability combined with co-ordination of brain and muscles. Strength en- ters somewhat, but strength is not es- sential, Certainly the Japanese are as clever, if not more clever, than Amer- icans in juggling—which means quick- ness of eye and hand. Certainly the Japanese could learn to handle the ball as cleanly as Americans. Anyone who has seen the Japanese balance & ball on a tiny wind, for instance, be- lleves the Japanese would be able to learn how to’hit the ball with the bat as well as 'the Americans, Their quickness of eye and sense of balance is proverbial. In every department of the game it would seem, from natural qualifications, the Japanese would stand on the same level with the Americans if the base ball had never been seen by people of efther country. And yet pick nine men of Japan and nine men of the United States, none of whom had ever seen a baseball, and | with unblushing composure today by i ) NEW BRITAIN DAIL ' ! that will restore it. The necessity for | | such resotration, recognized without | a8 well as within Germany, is the cause of the fall of Wirth. The hope- | | less part of it all is that there seems !to be no plan to substitute for the lack. of one the Wirth government seemed to have, For the outside world thege is, perhaps, more hope of some reparations payments — the thing that all the world seeks—with | Stinnes complaisant than there would | be with Stinnes n} opposition to every endeavor in that direetion that an [uppunont would make. e ND THE CHANC | Long yecars ago when “The Rlack | Crook” appeared upon the stage, lt‘ being the first of the musical spec-) |tacles where abbreviated costumes { were permitted, those who admitted | having seen the “show" were.viewed | askance, About that time few men "discussed “The Police Gazette"” In | polite society. And yet many reput- | able men would seek a modest barber shop and not mind if they were not “next” as long as that paper were :lylnn handy. Richard K. Fox was | the editor of that paper, devoted as it was to the doings of pugilists and | actresses,,both of which classes were | photographed in such a way that the | reader or #lewer would be able to gain an intimate knowledge of their | anatomy. Richard K. Fox Is dead. It iz safe to say that no printed words in his | magazine ever touched the “high spots” reached today by many publis, cations. No suggestions of ‘‘sex inter- est” were as frank as those read and maids. “The Black Crook™” would be considered a tame show blase young men would vawn over its harmlessness. Richard K. Fox has lived to see the change from his time come and gain a firm footing today. Well might he have looked at the old files of his paper, then at the literature of today and youths and it is a pretty safe bet that the Amer- icans would Be able to beat the Japs| at the game inside of two weeks. ! There may be no solution of lhis} seeming paradox unless it be attribut- | ed to the baseball heritage that comes ! to every American boy when he is born. For generations the American boy has played baseball. In his sub- conscious mind there lies the baseball instinet, only waiting to be develop- ed. Usually it is developed. Here is an interesting question for scientists to consider. SR YALE AGAINST PRINCETON. " Tomorrow Yale meets Princeton on the football field, the latter institu- tion having defeated Harvard: with her “system’ .well executed by play- ers who understood that system thor- oughly. That m;.m'e, Princeton against ‘Harvard, was an example of spirit, aided by opportunities coming under the modern rules of the game, de- feating the more accuratcly‘ figured old-style excellence. Princeton will have the same. spirit tomorraw, the same opporfunities. She will be met by a teami‘whlch started the scason with less seasgned material than was that of Harvard and a system not equal to Haughton's. * But Princeton will be met by a team coming from an {institution where “spirit” has been the ;watch- word; where, on one occasion at least, the coaches ordered all players to tear out all padding—it was in the days of excessive padding of football clothes—from their togs because, as the coaches said, ‘‘speed” was essen- tial on the muddy field they would find, and that there were plenty of men to take their places if they got hurt. And Princeton will meet a team which has progressed this - son true to the form of many y?u ago when the early games were times of development merely. A crude Yale team was defeated by Iowa; a more highly developed Yale team played West Point to a tie, and a Yale team, alert to opportunities, beat Brown rather decisively "through the bril- iiancy of one player without disclos- ing what that team might have done had not that player shown so bril- liantly., The course of the, Yale foot- ball team this year has been the course that made old Yale teams win- ners in the final, the big contests of the year. Unless the modern uncer- tainty of the game destroys all dope it would seem that the final history of this year's Yale team will be quite similar to that of the old successful teams of the past. IN GERMANY. Strangely enough the situation in Germany is not unlike that in Eng- land some time ago when Lloyd George resigned. There are the So- clalists who are shy a good many votes of control of the Reichstag. But even a combination of the Demo- crats, the Center and the People's party is not as strong as the Soclalist The Socialists would not unite with the People's party, headed by the lauded Stinnes—and the Wirth ministry fell. Before the murder Walther Rathenau the allies felt that they were receiving more consideration, in party. of the manner of reparations, under the Wirth government th':ul would be possible under any other regime, But since Rathenau's death it has become clear gradually that, without his genius, that government was hopeless.

I Y HERA TELLS HOW TO LIVE ‘TO BE A HUNDRED' Speaker at Y. M. C. A. Makes Some Interesting Statements “How to live 100 years,” was the subject of the address given by Dr, C. E. Barker, of the National Rotary club, who addressed the members of the New Britain industrial councll last evening, | He stated that to keep well and Iive a century one had to follow four methods; namely: By the process of elimination, which nature has provid- ed. Seventy-eight per cogt. of men and 92 per cent, women over 35 years of age ha sub-normal chest cxpansion. When lungs are not up to standard expansion, poison carbon- dioxide remains in the system, similar to the exhaust from the automoblle engine, Five minutes of breathing exercises every day for flve minutes will produce normal chest expansion. The skin gives off perspiration every day and in the winter time, clogs the pores, thereby causing trouble in the form of colds, grip, influenza and other diseases of a Ilke nature, “Many people upon finding that a cold or grippe comes on, rely upon old fashioned remedies. Taking warm drinks, bundling up well and perspir- ing freely. Inside of 48 hours, Iir taken in time, this remedy will always prove effective. Another method f¢ taking exercide inducing increased ac- tivity of the pores. A rough Turkish towel, a bath brush or some rongh substance rubbed well over the body for two minutes every morning will keep the pores well opened,” he sald. “Most people today buy laxatives such as ofls, pills and many other pat- ent medicines on the market. You think you are wise In pursuing this policy, because they remedy your troubles for the time being. But that does not cure constipation but only prolongs your troubles, and then they become chronic. I don't believe there is a patent medicine on the market today that will cure constipation, There are many patent medicine manufacturers who buy their testi. monials from poor people who are ir many instances unable to read or write. Some times they give free medicines just to use the name of the individual for advertising purposes.” Dr. Barker stated that he has been making investigations for many yearr as to how they spread propaganda and purchase signatures for use in testi- monfal advertising. He stated that in many instances patent medicine agents have pald southern darkies 25 cents for the use of their names, “Four years ago a well knowr athlete was paid $500 for the usfe o' his name in connection with an ad veriisement of a well known paten’ medicine. He never drank one'drop of this medicine, and yet, tody peo ple are purchasing this same product thinking that tliey will become .cure? by its use.

Fifth, eat an apple, orange or a bunch of grapes hefore going to bed. “Kidney trouble is caused by clog- ged pores of the skin, c\onltipuuon and narrow chest. “Dr. Mieczkopf, of the Pasteur in- stitute, has made a remarkable dis- covery. He has found, in Bulgaria, a country of 65,000,000 people, about twice the size of Connecticut, that there are more than 5000 men and women over 100 years old. Three hundred of the people are over 125 vears old. In Ametica today we have two people over#125 years of age. One is an Indian in Oklahoma and the other a negro in Alabama. People of Bulgaria live an average of 20 years longer that the people of Am- erica. \ Dr. Mieczkopf attributes this to three reasons, they drink more water per capita than any other people in the world. Children are taught in school to drink considerable water. They do not eat meat after they reach 50 years of age. Moat people eat cereals instead. They eat plenty of sauerkraut. Dr. Mieczkopf thinks that eating sauerkraut alone will prolong life. Every man and woman over 100 years should drink from two to three ES' Years Ago Today L(Tuken from Herald of that date) ) o g o Great interest is seen in the open- ing game of the polo league Which will take place at Hannas' Armory this evening when Néw Britain will play Waterbury.

New Haven, Nov. 17.—There have been much fewer arrests for drunk- enness in this city eight months of this year than there were during the first eight months of 1914, a normal pre-war year. The ex- act figures for the entire eight months of this year are not available but the data at hand leads to this conclusion. There have been 18 times as many cases of reckless driving, over three|{ times as fnany cases of operating a|j motor vehicle while under the in- fluence of liquor, nearly five times as many arrests for violation of the liquor law and more arrests for non- support, forgery, delinquency, carry- ing concealed weapons, uoll?mng, gaming and violation of the drug act than was the case in 1914, The figures for all of 1914 are in the city year book while the figures tor the first five months of this year are in the oftice of Chief Philip T. Smith. The probable average for 1922 can be calculated by adding the arrests for dffferent offenses during the five months and divid- ing the total by five to get the aver- age number a month and then multi- plying the answer by 12 for the total for the year. This has been done so as to get a comparison now. The officlal figures will not be available for several months. WANTS 10 VISIT U. §.
