An old-time “six day go-as-you-piease” race! ~arried a little whip he whould sna) u=2asion- ally when he was feeling tired. That was his method of telling himself to “carry on,” to keep at it. The death of our President silenced the land momentarily. Fitting tribute was paid to his memory in all sinceri- ty. The Jast word has been said. Now comes the time to “carry on.” A new President sits in the White House. The country will watch, encouraging him when he does something good, criticizing when general opinion dis- approves his actions. The attitude of 'various men in office may be changed. Some were personal friends of Pres- ident Harding; some committed to him by promises which his death may erase or may not. Remembering the virtues of the President who has died, we should allow no sentiment to alter our convictions as we try to “carry on."” HEALTH AND ECONOMY Evidently our new superintendent of health intends to try to save money for the city. Every encouragement will be given him in this attempt. It does no harm to say again that rising taxes, present taxes &ven, are about as important as anything in this city at this moment. Dr. Pullen, noting the present rate of expenditure at the New Britain Sanitarium, has asked that expenses be curtailed as much and s00n as possible. The ‘)\Ospflfll committee, in- spired by this request and being eager undoubtedly to accomplish this same end, has asked the superintendentto compile a statement in regard to the finances of the sanitarium for its in- formation, This newspaper has never underes- timated the necessity of aiding move- ments to improve the health of the people of the city. The same stand has been taken in regard to educa- tional matters. Let every precaution possible taken to keep people well and to minister to those who are ill, and let the best of educational advantages be given our children. But too often. those having charge of health matters and educational matters are so wrap- ped up in their work and are so en- thused by it that the matter of proper economy sinks.in importance. This bit of evidence that the superintendent of health, Dr. Pullen has already con- sidered this vital phase of his work, is gratifying to the taxpayers of the city. as NOTE THESE “PRINCIPLES” It is dangerous for any man in pub- lic life to declare that he will carry out the policies of another as already announced. President Coolidge has not sald a great deal. In this he has been wise, But he has said just that— that he intends to carry out the poli- cies of the late President Harding. President Coolidge may be the next Republican nominee for the Presiden- cy. For this reason it is a good idea to make note of some of the policies that he has pledged himself to follow. Of course unexpected conditions might excuse a man from carrying out these policies. not carry If President Coolidge does them out, such failure may well be examinec his reasons for 1to see if they are good reasons. If con- ditions do carry out these policies, note should be made Some of President may be cause this newspaper favors them or not aiter and he faiis to of this fact the poiicies of the not be late mentioned, disapproves of them, but merely as a means for judging the manner in which President Coolidge pledge favored fulfils his First of all President Harding American membership and the were economy participation World Court Other dry plank in the next Republicar form, passage of prohibiting child | in ‘policies” 1 bone plat constitutional amendment abor., replacing the Railway Labor Board by | & labor division in the Interstate Com- merce commission and merger of rail- way lines into several systems with in- gerchange of freight cars. registration ®F ailens and setting up boards abroad for the examination of immigrants to make suré that only deglrabla people enter this country, and passage by congress by a ship subsidy bill. These are a few of the “policies” of the late President. President Coolidge must have had them in mind when he de- clared that he would follow President Harding's policies, Some of them are not approved by the people; some of them have threatened the harmony of the Republican party. In consider- ing the qualifications of President Coolidge for the office he now holds and for which he may be nominated in 1924 it will be remembered that he declared that these policies would be his, THE POLISH ORPHANAGE Probably 20,000 people in whose veins flows Polish blood and who are among the most loyal of Americans today, will march in the great demon- stration that will be one of the fea- tures of the dedication of the new Poligh Orphanage in this city tomor- row. The magnitude of the spectacle is referred to merely as an indication of the great growth and development of an ideal even more splendid than will be its tangible expression. The ceremonies that will be held will emphasize the importance of the part these people play in the daily life not only of ‘New Britain but of this country. The fact that this great- est of all their demonstrations is in- spired by the desire to care for the children gives it an unusually strong appeal, The idea that this great num- ber of people have united in a suc- cessful attempt to guard the future of the youth in which they are interest- ed is reassuring. New Britain may well be proud of the fact that the idea was conceived, cherishéd and brought to a splendid realization in this city, as it will be proud of the tangible ex- pression of the ideal as shown in the fine structure which has resulted from it. WE'RE PRETTY WELL OFF Many times we do not appreciate how hot it is until we look at a ther- mometer, Thep, if it registers a high mark, we begin to moan about it. So with the cold; so, too, when we feel our work is pretty tough. Just look at some other chap ahd hear him tell what he has to do and we feel that we're not so badly off, after all, So it may make us feel much bet- ter than we do, when we learn that a bulietin of the National Industrial Conference Board declares American wage-earners as a whole are now en- Joying a period of prosperity greater even than the so-called “peak period” of 1920. This is because, although the wages may not be as high, the cost of living is so much lower. “The wage-carner was better off in May, 1923," the statement says, “than during the ‘peak’ month of 1920, Wages in May were fast approaching the ‘peak’ levels while the cost of living.was considerably below the ‘peak’ lon't we all feel better? WISE PUBLICITY The health department appears to have started on a plan of publicity that will be of advantage to the peo- ple of the city if continued. In a state- ment emphasizing the fact that the bite of a cat is more dangerous than that of a dog, and advising people not to kill an animal which has bitten a human being as such killing would prevent discovering the most advisable treatment for the victim, the depart- ment says: “The object of the health department in giving this matter pub- licity is * * * to prevent the owner of a valuable pet dog or cat from los- ing the animal unnecessarily (if the animal is not suffering from rabies) and at the same time to protect the welfare of the city of New Britain."” Attention is called to this authori- tative statement of the danger of the bite of a cat, not only because of the value of the information itself, but in order to give notice that such valua- ble statements will probably be issucd by the department and published in the news columns of this newspaper. There is no department of the city government more able to give the peo- ple valuable advice than the health department. It is hoped that this will be considered part of its duties and that the people may profit physically by statements similar to the one pub- lished yesterday.

European work- men would starve if they could not sell to America, but Americar must sell more to Europe—which she cannot do if Europe's workmen are starving. Let “isolationists" consider this situa- tion and declare that we are quite sufficient unto ourselves. Our prosperi- ty does depend to a great extent on Europe's ability to buy from us but until, the proper relation between the nations of the world is established it should be remembered that purchas- ing American goods does Thelp our economic condition, From "“25 Years Ago Today:" “While unloading bunches of bananas yesterday afternoon the clerks of Sherman's store came across a taran- lul’u that dropped into one of the men's hands.” Probably, thereafter, store’ was “off” bananas. “‘Sherman’s Hence, 25 years ago, in New Britain, the sentiment was born which has been immortalized today in *‘Yes, We Have No Bananag."

Editor of the New Britain Herald: Will you please print this word &f warning, both to pedestrians and mo- terists, in the hope that it may save some one's life? Early last evening 1 came home to Belvidere by trolley, and saw two narrow escapes from grewsome acei- dents. A motorcycle with side car dashed past the trolley at thirty miles an hour, while a lady with a child in her arms was getting off the trolley near St. Mary's cemetery. Only her dodging back saved those two lives. end of the line, there were nine per sons to get off. Just as the first of them were stepping down to the pave- ment, three automobile drivers, two of them well known young business men, stepped on the gas and dashed by so fast that the motorman could only make the driver of the last car hear him, when he ran after him and | called him back. No place in town needs an officer worse than the end of the Stanley gtreet car line. It would be better to serfd a few of these drivers to jail now, than to send them to prison later, and their victims to the cem- etery, New Britain lost one of her finest citizens, John Allen, in this way, and his murderer is still at large. Can’t we have some protection against the recurrence of such a calamity? A RESIDENT OF BELVIDERE. Good road: A short stretch of high- way marked off and protected by de- tour signs.

Many not all, made the trip to the park and went to hear the prominent men who de- livered eulogies. It was a very disappointed audience as but few, by comparison, could hear. I wish to question the location and style of the band stand. Would it not be a wise plan for the city fathers to make a study of this and make such changes which would give both the music and the spoken word a larger, more distinct volume? T also want to call the attention of our city fathers to the noisy ele- ment which is always on hand to disturb pedple who would appreciate the music and speaking if they were given an opportunity. Common decency should have kept these noisy, boisterous and foul mouths still yesterday on so solemn an occassion. _ Chasing about during concerts, etc., doing athletic stunts and many other disturbances should not be tolerated by the pBMfice on duty. A VICTIM. GILLETT T0 FACE STRONG OPPOSITION Move Under Way to Curb New England’s Power Washington, D. C., Aug. 11.—The wlevation of Vice-President Coolidge to the presidency, which has accent- uated the power of the New England group in the federal government, may prevent the reelection of Frederick Gillett of Massachusetts as speaker of the house. When a survey was made of the important posts now held by represen- tatives of New England, representa- tives from other sections said the time had come to curb the New England- ers. One of the first moves is to try to block the reelection of Speaker Gillett. Efforts will be made to effect a com- Lination of the various groups in the house in favor of the election of Rep- resentative Grey of Illinois for speak- er. If he cannot command enough strength to put him over, then Repre- sentative Sidney Andeérson of Minne- sota, leader of the farm bloc in the house, may be the standard bearer of the anti-Gillett forces. Members of congress are also dis- tressed at the possibility that, in the distribution of patronage, President Coolidge may show a disposition to favor New England. Leading mem- bers of the republiean party intend to advise the president that he will make a serlous political blunder if he does not distribute his appointments wisely and widely. Railroad Worker B;eaks Skull in Automobile Spill Danbury, Aug. 11,—James McCor- mack, 21, of Brewster, N.

The events which im- press them most deeply do not in- spire a parade of their feelings, This past week has been marked by a quiet moderation of expression re- garding the tragedy of the death of President Harding, that in no way exaggerates the blow it has been. Punctilious always, and ever, the first to give dignified formal evidence of their appreciation of the pathos of the late president’s death, the people of this city have united in sincere ceremonies in respect for his memory, tinged more than is usual with a touch of sadness inspired by the man's human qualities. At least one organization where ad- vantage is usually taken of a holi- day, suspénded its activities for the afternoon of the formal day of the nation's mourning. It was signifi- cant of the feeling possessed by con- servative men and women who dislike a show of emotions, but who never refrain from assuming the simple at- titude of respect due the memory of the post of chief executive, An interesting sidelight on the people of this city is seen in the at- titude of mourning taken by those born of descendants of those born in cther lands. Pictures of the late president are seen draped in many of their establishments. On one océa? sion a native of another country, now a resident of this city, was seen to stand with bared head for several minutes before such a portrait of the leader who is dead. It would seem as though, to such men, the Ilate president was the kindly ruler of this land of opportunity where they had ‘When the troiley stopped at the und prosperity. and kindness, Friday, the day of mourning, this city’s people were united, each man and’ woman in his or her own way paying the tribute deserved through a life of public service by the truly gentle man who has dled. PR We have been hearing that the es- tablishment of parks and playgrounds have cut down the number of young offenders against the law and have been a good thing for them generally. So, of course, we become interested in parks and playgrounds. In this city we have quite a wonderful park up on Walnut Hill; it gives a lot of pleasure to all sorts of people, the children, adults who'sit or walk there or who go to hear the band concerts and to motorists, few of whom do not pass through the park often. A communication in this paper re- cently mentioned the littered condi- tion of the park especially on Mon- flay mornings after a band concert, and it suggested that waste cans be installed there with printed directions to make use of them. The torn-up bits of paper and other refuse should be placed in those cans. There was no criticism of the superintendent of the park nor his employes in-the com- munication, It was merely a sugges- tion to bring a greater degree of or- der and beauty to the park. As a matter of fact there are “waste cans” in the park—not many but a few at least. These should be used. Now no matter how beautiful a park may be it will not give a pleasant atmosphere if the ground is covered with litter. Moreover the young people who scatter waste there and let it remain do not get much good out of the park in the direction of eliminating misdemeanor. Much harm comes from the habit of un- tidiness and untidiness in the park which belongs to everyone is espe- cially out of place. When a person scatters stuff on the ground there it is quite as though he were invited out to another’s home and strewed the other person’s floor with similar stuff. He would not do that. He ought not do it in the park which belongs to others just as much—or perhaps more if he is not a taxpayer—than it does to him. It is almost as tiresome to read something “preachy” as it is to write it, but that is one-of the un- pleasant duties that devolves upon an Observer, so it is well to lighten the boring but necessary remarks by a resort to jingles, Hence— You park yourself There in the park, Which may add to its beauty, But do not park Waste papers there, Cold dogs or tutti-frutti. s oe New Britain has made a better rec- ord recently in the matter of auto- mobile accidents than it did a year ago, and New Britain is suffering less from drowning accidents this sum- mer than last, according to latest re- ports. Nevertheless the summer is not over, and there is the hope that there will be even fewer accidents from drewning than usual for thé rest of the warm season. It is not amiss to remind people in the case of any- one who has been pulléd out of water, that each second is valuable and time should not be taken to loosen the clothing the first thing, but rather that the victim's mouth and throat should be examined first of all and any obstructions removed such as to- bacco, false teeth, etc. Then lay the patient on his stomach, both arms ex- tended overhead. Turn the face to one side so that nose and mouth are free for breathing. Kneel, straddling the patient's hips; place the palms of your hands on the small of the back, little finger just touching the last rib —tips of fingers just out of your sight. Observations on The Weather o ——— ———— ‘Washington, Aug. 11.—Weather outlook for the week beginning Mon- day: North and Middle Atlantic States: Considerable cloudiness, widely scat- tered local showers and thunder storms, warm at beginnipg and modérate temperature, Southern New England: Fair to- night; Sunday partly cloudy; possibly thunder showers; little change in temperature; light variable winds. Conditions favor for this wvicinity fair weather with slightly higher temperature followed by increasing cloudiness on Sunday. On counting one, two with the arms held straight, swing forward slowly so that the weight of your body is grad- ually but not violently brought to bear upon the patient. This action takes from two to three seconds. Keep the patient warm and do not give any liquids until he is fully recovered consciousness. But if a person in the water keeps his ‘or hér-presence of mind and ‘is not cramped up, there is no negl of sinking at all. If anyone in the water will keep the lungs full of air, breath- ing as infrequently as possible, and then only at rare intervals and very quickly, such persons can float as long as he or she wishes. That is the secret of floating, and keeping the lungs full of air helps the person learning to swim. The principle is clear—make an air baloon of your- self and you won't sink, using the water, if necessary, as you would use a table or chair to support yourself by pushing on the water. Only, of course, as the water is not as solld as the chair or table, you have to keep pushing on it over and over again.. And, in floating, never try to stick your head and shoulders up out of the water. Just lie down in it with chest thrown upward and ex- panded by air—you can't sink. You cannot be a big baloon— That's not the way you're made, But you can fill your lungs with air And lie back, unafraid. As long as that small nose of yours Sticks upward from the deep. You're quite as safe from drown- ing as You'd be in bed, asleep. . oo Two men were sitting in the smok- ing car one was a resident of New York city, evidently; the other a citi- zen of New Britain. They were dis- cussing whether New York or New Britain was the better place to live in. They sat directly behind the Observer and as the conversation was not per- sonal there would seem to be ho im- propriety in summarizihg the result af their discussion. Moreover they were apparently typical of the ordi- nary “good citizen.” Neither was at the top or the bottom of life's ladder; neither very wealthy or very poor, and both seemed to be democratic in their ideas.. They were “‘working men” in the sense that each had his daily duties to perform; each had to live on what he himself made. It was a conversation between moderate men, each having his opinion, but each willing to hear the arguments of the other. Although the statements made by each did not emphasize the points which struck the Observer, and al- though neither might recognize the following summary of their discus- sion, this is what the argument de- veloped. The New Yorker worked for a 1large concern. He had never seen, in his years of labor, the person who was the real head of the corporation. He knew nothing of what sort of man he was. He liked his work and was sat- isfled with his pay. For his pleasure and the pleasure of his family there were so many attractions that it was hard to remain at home especially in ithe summer; and it was difficult to decide which place of entertainment to go to. He did not know the loca- tion of the homes of any of the people who worked with him, and he had little chance to see any of them out- side the company building. Yet he praised New York as so much was “going on" there. The stores he and his family patronized catered to people like himself, and he had never bgen in the shops in which, he supposéd, his employer traded. Going to and from work he saw only those who went to work at his hour, and he had no time to spend “looking 'em over” after working hours, for they moved in a part of the city he never visited. The New Britain man knew per- sonally every man with whom he worked, and he and his family often “dropped in” at their homes and they ‘“dropped in"” upon him and his family. He saw the head of his cor- poration practically every day, if not in the building, at least on the street EVERETT TRUE YE3, L MANAGED THS SPEEDER’S WAY, THE e Tle was €8 P L entertaihment which he, too, a There was just about enough on” to satisfy him and give him a chance to take the family out occa~ slonally. He knew, personally most of the men in. city offices from the mayor down, and he knew the repre< sentatives in the state legislature. Perhaps nothing could sum the. situation up better than to. say, conversation showed he: consid 1 New BritAin “his city” because he was a distinct part of 'it, knew . its people, and could have a hand i § affairs.

New Britainites, if they’re “alive” All feel they own the’city; Y They censure not New Yorkers; themt They generously pity.‘ .. . Now the “younger set” is going to have a hard time of it—for a litdle while—a very little while; of courss, for the said younger sét can master anything. But for that little 'hlls» the members of it are going to strug- gle against all -preconceived ideas— if they would be up to date—and throw aside the inspiration of speed and try to masteér the ‘quiet grace of the old time waltz. The old-time waltz is coming back. No poor imi- tation of it, say the dancing masters in convention asséembled, but the real thing. And the younger sét will find the old-time waltz is something to master. Of course it is easy enough, to follow the one-two-three, one-twos three of the rythm, and the trained feet of the younger set will at first smile at the simplicity of it. But when the possibilities of th waltz are realized—when some es- pecially intelligent member of the set finds out just what a wonderful poem a properly executed waltz may be, and when®such intelligent member 80 executes it, the rest of the dafcing members of the younger set will sit up and taKe notice—then will, of course, imitate and eventually sucs | ceed in mastering the dance which is harder to make the most of than any: ever invented, an which is the most beautiful when this is accomplished. It is quite likely, even, that the younger set will dance the waltz éven better than did their ~fathers and mothers unless the jazz has killed all idea of beauty in them, for dancing’ is more popular now than it was years ago. And when the waltz is finally mastered and Wwins its place back, it is quite probable that there will return a certain desire for L) and beauty which, say some people, is sadly lacking today. The greatest art is simple as The greatest word is “truth’; So art, in its development Will be the fruit of youth. ‘When art, in its simplicity Displaces all that's false, The music in the air will have The rhythm of the Waltz.

He had waited a long time for the sound of a faniliar step, voice. Funny; he had never waitéd so long before. What - was it -all about? What was that thing draped, standing high up where he could not see what was in it? Somehow he felt he ought not jump up and try to 160k inside; he might disturb some- thing that ought not be disturbed.: 8o he just waited, his ears eocked, his head on one side, Gradually the cocked ears drooped. He had waited a long time. He woudl wait longer, but gomething told him it wouldn't do any good and it might be quite wrong to wait any longer. So, ears drooping, tail hang- ing limply, he stepped softly and slowly out of the room. But he took his post by a window. Perhaps he might see him coming.
