This institution in New Britain is especially deserving of aid. Its history | is one of continued effort and, from small beginnings it has developed in- to a place the worth of which is generally recognized 1n this city. There was a time in the administra- stion of Mayor Curtis when so few suf- , ferers from tuberculosis availed them- selves of its benefits, that it was thought it might be advisable to dis- Scontinue it. The health authorities " worked hard to educate the people to the idea of its value. Resort was even made to changing the name from one ,which was not pleasant, to the| “Rocky Hill Sanitarium,” in the hope that the suggestion of health and strength contained in the name would influence those who suftered to find relief there. The city has worked “hard to make the institution attrac- tive and worth while. It has ac- % complished fine results.

It is a common belief among many speakers and otlers who do not ap- pear perfectly familiar with the situ- ation to assume that the newspapers are not giving the prohibition amend- ment a square deal. It invariably happens that these speakers, when de- livering their addresses, if they see a reporter in the house, make state- | ments which they emphasize are ‘‘not for publication.” Generally the arti- cles not for putlication are so unim- portant in themselves that it would make no difference one way or the other. The fact of the matter is that newspapers today do not discriminate in their news columns, simply because the movement does not agree with that paper's policy. The news of any movement is handled according to it news value, and the paper's come- back if opposed to the movement is in its editorial columns. s s A new species of the pork family has been found by a local traffic cop.

Granted that people | do change, their habits of mind and| action become more free or less free, our own viewpoint changes quite as much, and we are not apt to recognize these changes in oursclves as we are to see the alter- ed conditions about us.
