But the people of the city have made it pos- sible for undernourished children to go to a place where fresh, clear .air and nourishing food and wise atten- tion, are bringing to them the new strength that the rich man cannot buy. It is the strength_that nature wants to give them, if nature is given half a chance. It is the strength that belongs to these children by right— by divine right. And it is the almost divine right of ' the people of this ity to help give nature the chance to work for these undernourished chil- dren as she is glad to do. Underwelght and undernourished children—and those at the Fresh Air ‘eamp.ate, both—need added flesh. . Now come the first reports from that "gamp showing, not that the children _Bre, getting fat, but rather that they ére gaining the ounces and the ¢ pounds they ought, naturally, to gain. ,hw are in a place where they are . growing as they ought to grow; they ' are on their way to normal condition. And the people of the city are making “ this possible. ‘Wednesday more people of-the city « =-a great many more, it is to be hoped + —will make it possible for more un- rnourished children of New Britain ' #o start out on the road to strength. Phose who want to help will enter the F’ii'reuh Air golf tournament at the T hut(le Meadow club. The best golf- €rs are going to help; the worst play- @€rs are going to help. The club itself . is helping by giving its links over to this good cause for the day. The elub's professional golfer, Val Flood, 1s going to help., The Herald is trying ¢ to help by urging everyone to enter ‘l‘;he tournament it has arranged and for which it has purchased prizes, bought at cost because of Porter & Dyson's wish to help, such prizes to ‘a attractive reminders of the increas- lh‘ strength the winners of them have helped to give these children. 5 “MOTHER” JONES "‘ She 1s still very much alive and she . garries her 93 years as so many y'rooll of her ability to fight for labor and to be sweet for all the world ' when she does not see any reason to fight. She, this “Mother” Jones who f hu played an important part in near- {y every big strike in the country in the lasgften years, and who is loved by laboring men stepped out the other : day, and spoke in Chicago at the “‘convention” which was to have been & Farmer-Labof affair but which was ‘gelzed by the radical element and torn from the hands of the Farmer-Labor- ftes. She puts in the most simple words what labor must do. Coming from her labor will listen to the state- ment that has been suggested many times in these columns. Coming from anyone other than “Mother Jones,” or some person known just as well to be in sympathy with labor, it would perhaps be denounced by labor which has been so loyal—too loyal—to its| leaders, “You must organize and use your heads,” she declared. “You have been letting bosses override you too long. You must clear out the crooked labor leaders among vourselves, It is this statement that is so remarkable coming from that should be emphasized “'You must organize' and use your You a woman of 93 years heads. ,and women who have been “on proba- must clear out the crooked labor| leaders among yourselves." As a child will fight for the parent who has often beaten it, so will labor | be loyal to its leaders under fire | outside. For “outside” the hated, in Labor possesses the br abllity to win a square deal square deal has been denied possesses the sense of fair play not to be afraid to admit square deal to been done. These powers labor itself possesses, lying quiet now while some labor leaders put labor in bad—some labor leaders, it is repeated, for there are other leaders who have done much to get for labor the considera- #lon it has today.

Just as this country will be better off when its people become independent in thought, so labor will be better off when discrimination is used in choosing its leaders. PROBATION M. Like capital punishment the matter of putting on probation persons ar- rested is a matter of constant dis- cussion. For this reason the reports’ of the Probation Officer are valuable, Some English authdMties insist that prisoners should be treated more strictly than is the habit in this country. Many belleve all ‘sympathy is wasted; that probation and similar | treatment tends to make for more lawlessness. On the other hand there are those who belleve in keeping offenders as free from humiliation as possible; they advocate encouraging the development of self-respect—the self-respect that is apt to disappear after a man or woman has been im- prisoned and subjected to the rigors of prison life with its associations. Probation Officer Connelly’s report shows that 179 persons on probation observed the terms of thelr probation and were released during the period covered by the report. Seventeen were re-arrested, and 4 escaped. Ejghty-one remained on probation the first of July. Some $6,395 was collected in the year ending June 30, 1923, as compared with about $3,000 for the previous year. Summarized, the Probation Officer's report shows that the system has worked well in this city and that| most of these placed on probation have appreciated the fact that they chance. This results that But the were given another may be seen in the figures are able to show. good results may be far greater than is known at this time, Certainly it is better for a person who has erred and been caught to be given another chance if that second chance will make him or her appreciate how near he or she was to disgrace. Such leniency may be the inspiration, in fu- ture life, that will be productive of splendid results in life and character. There is great need of charity toward all at this time when the world is looking for peace on earth. The men tion” and who have realized the fair- ness with which they were treated, may number among them some of the best citizens of the country, whereas, were they to have been subjected to humiliation that ‘kills initiative and ambition, they might have merely en* cumbered the earth. The Probation Officer’s report brings thorough ap- proval of the way the system is work- ing out in New Britain. HYPNOTIC RADTO Admit, of course, that the radio it- self has hypnotized so many people that some of them bought radio sets instead of new suits of clothes, people will stare blankly at the man who says the radio may now be used as a vehicle by which the hypnotizing ir- fluence may be passed. In the first place such people will say that they don’t believe in hypnotism anyway. They've seen & lot of fakes on the stage, perhaps, but of course no per-‘ son is able to throw another into a trance by speaking a few words and | waving his hands.in front of the vie- tim's eyes—or the ‘“subject's” eyes. Adversaries will come back with the statement that physiclans and others use hypnotism constantly; that it is a proven scientific fact. “Al¥ right,” comment the unbeliev- ers, “but certainly there was nothing in the story that a hypnotist threw a man into a trance just by speaking through the air at him.” And that is what is claimed for the discovery. Well, we don't know much about it, but it does seem that watching our step ought to be our main business in life after this if there is any truth in the story that others can do about anything they want to with us if they catch us unawares and we happen to get Into some current of air that car- ries this awful hypnotic influence. It/ will not matter much where a chap happens to be sitting. If a glassy stare comes to his eyes and he sits mulinr‘h‘ less regardless of the duties that aw e\lt‘ him, people will excuse him, perhaps by insisting that he is being hypnotiz- ed by that weird influence that must| standing from the radio set Really, come near. it's unpleasant to think of all the possibilities.

Weigand, one cof his most liberal patrons, he said, had tip- ped lavishly and otherwise made him- self “a good fellow"” until gaining the walter's confidence he had induced him to turn over the savings for in- vestment in stocks. Recently finding his health failing “Little Joe" decided to retir2 and ask- ed Weigand for his money. Weigand, he safd, told him it had been lost in | the market. Philllp Wittenberg, Weigand's law- yer, declared today that Weigand had been blameless in the transaction. Ja- cobs, he said, had insisted, against ‘Weigand’'s advice, on speculating. NEGROES PROTEST Scores of Telegrams Sent to Associat- ed Press Bewailing Conviction of Marcus Garvey, ‘Washington, July 16.—A protest from negroes throughout the country against the recent conviction in New York of Marcus Garvey, head of the Universal Negro Improvement associa- tion, was voiced today in scores of telegrams addressed to the Washing- tion office of the Associated Press. Each of the messages represented sentiments said to have been expressed at a negro mass meeting yesterday. They came from nearly every state and were identical except for the number of persons reported as in at- tendance at each local meeting. Garvey was found guilty recently in federal court in New York on con- spiracy charges growing out of a plan to establish a negro republic in Africa. Various protests have been made to the White House and the department of justice. VOTING IN MINNESOTA ate Election is Test Between Hard- ing and LaXollette Group By The Associated Press.

Eqnipment Despite objection expressed by the mayor to purchase of riot runs for the police department as recommend- a@ by Chiet of Police Willlam C, Hart, Chairman David L. Dunn of the po- lice commission feels that such pur- chase should be made.
