After the great day has passed, as Easter Day has passed this year, its spirit scems less intense, | § just be- its lessons more dimly realized. But practically all we know of hu- man life comes from experiences m‘f men since the day of which Easter is the anniversar; New thoughts, new standards of living, new inspiration | came with that first Easter Day, and | in the light of those thoughts, | standards and inspiration we are liv- ing today, just as we are living this Monday in the light of the new in- | spiration that came yesterday, the an- niversary of that great day. And so, with Easter Day behind us for another year, a word, spoken or ‘written on the subject may not be su- perfluous, may not be too obvious to fail to attract and renew the thoughts of yesterday. And those thoughts ail have to do with the with the new life that will come after human death. The spirit of greater power; the spirit of life, made new, of | “glory. Thi ought to carry; the thought of a new ! life ymbolical of the new life that we believe is to come hereafter. And so one writes the ter word the day after Easter Sunday, inspired by the hope that the spirit of Easter and all it has meant | fo the world will live and last through | all the year to come, new, Resurrection— is the thought that we| to be lived here as DISPLEASED COUNCIL Without in any sense pas: the merits of the it is teresting to note that Councilman Aloward S. Hart attended only 5 of the 18 meetings of the common coun- | cil during the fiscal year just closed, and Alderman F. Raymond Gilpatric attended but 9. | Mr. Hart iated | , With opposition to maintaing salaries of city employes at the present level He favored a salary cut. He w doubtedly disappointed in the failure | to have that cut go through. Quite | possibly this affected his attendance. | Morcover he looks upon the council | as a body of men who should get the | most they can for the city at the least cost. A long time ago—so long that ma may not remember—Mr. Gilpatric stated openly to the Mayor that in fayoring a certain matter (in regard to the municipal garage, serves) he was making his power les Having stated this opinion he left the meeting. This dissatisfaction p may have had something to do with his attendance record. Nothing is intended against these men members of the common council. The more honest in the chamber, the better for the eity. point is of importance, the significance of the recent s ful Republican nominees for the coun- cil. It is quite certain that both Mr. | Hart and Mr. Gilpatric are pleased with the primaries. It is quite prob- able that they believe the nominees, | or most of them, if elected will think | about as they think, vote as they vote, Whether this is true or not remains | to be scen.

There seems to be a tendency in | newspapers in this section, to make a great deal of the report of the recop- tion given the decision by thosc live in the suburbs of DBridgeport. Those newspapers accept the decision complaisantly, standing by the con- tention of the Connecticut company, and agreeing that most Bridgeport favor the higher fare with transfers, rather than the lower fare without them. Without - commenting upon the point that the matter of proper fare should be regulated by conditions in governed by the situation in any one communi- ty, authoritative news comes that the jority of Bridgeport peéople is op- to the new rate of 7 1-2 cents. b!'lfeve a'proper solution is the ! ‘five-cent rate, with transers. be referred who people in | | heara | eent, responsible for that depre: | on all sides.

The survey recently made by a representative of this newspaper does | not make a spectacular point of any recent incre but certainly justi- fies the belief that the workingman prospects are good rather than the re- | verse. No one, not even the work- ingman himself, sudden in- creases in wages to wartime levels with the inevitable long period of de- pression that would follow, with the increasing prices for commodities and ses, wants a resultant buying strike on the part| | of consumers. Idle factories, or man- manufacturing plants trying to run along in order not to throw their or- ganizations into complete rout, are| good for no one. Better far a gradual | meeting of the demand, with a grad- ual recognition by employers of the value of the services rendered by em- ployes. b There is just one fact plainly evi- dent from a study of the business con- ditions all over the country, and that fact is that the prosperity which has| already begun to keep the mclorin‘sK running at full time will continue as long as honestly progressive ad- | vantage is taken of the fact that peo- | ple have more money today than re- | cently and are ready and willing t buy generously but not lavishly., The latter—the orgy of spending that pre- ceded the period of depression—was ion, a re- turn of “which no one wants. recognition of the workingman, flected in gradual increase in wages | where such increase in deserved be- cause of the increased efficiency of the worker is as necesary to the employer as a e, progressive, but not sudden expansion of his own busincss. ad A wise CROWD PSYCHOLOGY, !

ERANK ARCHER says - "IF-at-all-particular WOMAN TENDERFOOT IN EGYPT by Grace Thompson Seton. **‘A Woman Tenderfoot in Tgypt' is'a happy combination of intimate, | human stories and accurate facts. The | lure of ancient BEgypt, land of the | Pharaohs, is contrasted with a mod- ern Egypt struggling to throw off the shackles of the past. The story Mrs. Seton tells is an enticing, alluring land of romance where, because they can- not trust the ever changing sands, men's keen eyes have been trained to follow the path of the stars. Especial- Iy appealing is the vivid portrayal of the efforts of the women, hedged in by custom and ancient laws, to se- cure the freedom of the Iuropean woman." % A PR Fiction, CHALLENGE by V.
