Into every anniversary that carries with it a lasting impression enters a spirit of solemnity without which its full significance is lost. This solemn aspect of Christmas, with its great lesson of hope, is felt most intensely when New Britain’s Court of Honor and all it means is considered. Full appreciation of this aspect of Christmas has come to the local posts of the American Legion and Velgrnn- of Foreign Wars in this clty. Its members; co-operating ¢ with the Chamber of Commerce, have arranged to place Christmas wrenths upon the pillars of the court there in Walnut Hill park. The ceremony will take place’ ‘the day before Christmas, this coming Sunday, and will show again that spirit of everlasting remem- brance for the men who did not come back to their homes in this city. Hopeless indeed might be the thought of them were it not for the things represented by Christmas Day. There is no hopelessness in the thought of them now for Christmas day and its inspiration is the essence of all hope where bellef exists. The Eddy-Glover post will ask the common council to have those pillars _made fresh again to fypify the con- stantly renewed tribute we would pay to the memories of the men whose " gacrifice they represent. It would be most prgper for the city fathers to take this fitting action inspired by a sentiment which should never be allowed to fade. A PGSR el PATENTS. The pessimist who is sorry he did not live years ago because at that time there was a chance for origl- nality should take note of the fact that each of the last three years has seen a jump In the number of patents applled for. Each invention brings new chances for originality, for each invenflon develops a new fleld of activity. What chances for original- ity appeared when the automobile * became ‘so common! 'Just as long as man lives so long will there be a “chance for the mind of man to-dis- _gdver new ways of doing old things, new things to do and new parapher: ndlia with which to do them. These { néw flelds being opened there comes .a:demand for implements for -those new flelds. The year 1920 saw an unheard of {ncrease in the number of applica- tions for patents. In 1921 the num- ber rose from 102,490 to 107,600 and in the fiscal year ending last June ! the number reached the total of 113,- 597. It is interesting to note, also, that the patent office pays its own _way, the last report showing a net J'profit of receipts over ~expenses of $172,081, Support’.of any movement to in- ‘crease the number of employes in the Patent office should come from a community such as this, the birth- place of many patents. ‘The office is behind in its work and such a condi- tion discourages ‘attempts to patent devices that would be of great advan- tage to Jfiunufaqturlng and to the {ndividuals whose ingenuity resulted in the imiprovement. The field is wide ‘open for \invention and will never be closed. i KIND YOUNG FOLKS. /Many of the very young people of “w.,’the city are thinking of other very young people just now and helping to make their Christmas a happy one. The efficlent young members of the New Britain Junfor Achievement clubs have already prepared 110 packages of toys, wearing appnrél and other things made by these young members for their small “brothers "and sisters” whom, perhaps, they have never seen but whose holiday time would be rather sad, possibly, were it not for their thought of them. The Boys' club has been busy and the young. mechanics who have #learned many practical things through | the club instruction have turned their hands to generous deeds at a time when generous action is in the very alr. “Achievement,” “efficiency"—these are splendid ideas to give the young people for their own sake. 1t is well, however, that there is being added to these very practical advantages an emphasizing of the sentiment which ‘inspires thoughtfulness of others. The young members of all the organis zatlons of little people In this ity will be far more “efficlent,” will “achieve” far more satisfactory and splendid the beauty and value of the Christ- mas spirit, SUSPENDING LICE Some slight satlsfaction may be feit that the driving automobile licenses of 1,690 persons were suspended In | the first gleven months of the year just closing. This, number s 506 greater than that of last year and | shows either that the law Is being ! enforced more strictly or that oper- ators of motor vehicles are more careless than formerly. “The increased number, of cars in use In the state account for the proportionately great inerease in the number of punish- ments, Eliminating the 417 cases where 1 the suspension was due to the opera-’ tlon of a car without a license, the chief reason for punishment tas that __|of driving cars while under the influ- ence of liquor. Probably Ifqyor is no easler to get this year than it was last year, although there were 112 more people punished for this breach of the law this year than there were in 1921, while the comparisqn of the 1922 and the 1921 figures in other cases where the licenses were sus- pended shows little difference, con- sidering the increase in the number of cars in use. . The significance of these statistics and ‘the matter they suggest is that special attention should be given to this phase of the automobile driving laws .and ordinances. It is - ‘quite probable that the number of accidents from all sources will increase as the automobile becomes more common, although constant emphasizing of the importance of careful driving may educate people so tfat the reverse will be true. But certainly care should be taken that the increase in this violation of the law, namely the driving while intoxicated, siould not be allowed to continue at a greater rate ihnn other causes of ‘accidents. FATHER WINTERS, 1t is peculiarly appropriate at this season of the year, when the spirit of Christmas is all pervading, to men- tion the work of men whose life influ- ence has been to intensify that spirit, to emphasize the splendor of the ideal of “Peace on Earth, Good Wil Toward Men,” made tangible in the life of Him the anniversary of whose birth we celebrate on Christmas day. For forty-two years Rev. J. T. Winters, with the sanction of. his church, has been . thus . engaged. There are many others in the world, in this city, whose lives have been deveted to their labor which to them’ ig one of love, The devotion of the priest who has worked 8o faithfully in this city is especlally mentioned because he has just observed the forty-second anniversary of his ordi- nation. He typifies, in his church, the standards, the ideals, . constantly being sought to be uphelh by priests and clergymen of ather denomina- tions, Such men bring to a commu- nity that reflection of the great light in which joy, happiness, love are tvatmed into life,~‘Horior such men and let there be expression of such honor at this Christmas season, HOSPITAL REPORT. The report of the New Britain gen- eral hospital for the month of Novem- ber, when analyzéd, shows splendid achievements, Viewed financially the receipts of the hospital were prae- tically $3,000 greater in that month than they were in November of last vear, while the expenses were less than $1,000 more than in that month last year although there were more cases handled, a greater number of days' treatment given. Of especial humun“ntérgst is the fact that there were the same num- ber -of deaths in November of this year as in the same month last year despite the greater number of pa- tients received, and there were, also, the same number of accident cases cared for. Fewer employes did the increased work and the per capita expense was reduced from $3.561 last year to $3.43 this year. The report's evidence of Increased efficlency and improving financial condition would not be satisfactory were it not for the fact that it is be- lieved the hospital maintains its high standards in manner of treatment. This, after all, is the important mat- ter. As far as it is possible to do the report indicates this.to be the fact. Expression of popular opinion corrob- orate#® this testimony and gives a sense of security to the people of this city regarding their hospital facilities which will soon be equal to those of any city of the size of New Britain.

But he didn’t have to make the fires. It's just as well ‘that women don't understand politics. the knowledge that his wife knows more than he. No matter what you think of the taste of a young man who gets mar- ried in times like these, you can't help admiring his nerve. Correct this sentence: “We are too hard up this year,” said the wife, “and 1 don't want you to get me a thing for Christmas.” Ncw that the jalls are all empty, the ships all scrapped, and wars all ended, we look forward to the new year without misgiving.

It proved eonclusively that New Britain will have a great source of | supply when it is sent into Shuttle ‘Meadow. The suit of Stephen Roper against the city of New'Britain came up in superior court in Hartford today on a motlon to amend the answer, which was allowed. A young man from a neighboring town; who is sald to be connected with the legal fraternity, got into an altercation with two passengers on the third rail car at the depot at 7 o'clock last evening..

E, Le- land of the Besse-Leland store, Local merchants are having some trouble getting goods because of the freight embargo. Most of them are buying whatever they can to be ship- ped by express or parcel post. This, necessarily makes for some inconven- lence, Mr, Leland says he has in- structed his buyers to order by ex- press only. He says the parcel post business is not satisfactory. But I think the service we get in New Brit- ain from Mr, Delaney and his men is splendid. They are right on the job,” he said. He contends that pack- ages are delivered to him as soon as they arrive in New Britain, but it takes too long to get here. He cited an instance of poor postal service out of Hartford by telling of a special de- livery letter which took 48 hours to |reach this city. “So far as local delivery is con- cerned,” he said, “the postal depart- ment and the express companies have very: -efficient forces.” A small list of gift suggestions made by a Herald representative while wan- dering about the stores is as follows: For Mother Or Sister.
