The re- quest was made, also, that the band be requested to play “La Paloma.” The incident may seem small in it- gelf, but it emphasizes two things that are taken as a matter of course. The Afirst is that very thing—the pleasure these concerts have given to people who do not have the chance to hear. music in other places, at least the music of a good band. We have grown accustomed to these concerts and no matter how much we patronize and enjoy them, it is seldom that we take the trouble to comment upon them or to realize what the concerts and the park mean to the people. And® in connection with the park which has been discussed so rr!uch recently, let it be said once and for all that all suggestions about keeping it neat and clean are for the purpose only of making it a still more enjoy- able place for the people in the sums~ mer. The park was not built in order ‘to give. Superintendent Wainwright and his employes something to do, as intimated in one communication to this newspaper. Those park workers are employed because the people make it necessary that they be em- ployed, that is all. But better far that ‘we have the park, even though it is left, in much worse condition after a gathering there than it is at present, than that we should have no park at all, It is the people’s playground—the babies’ playground and the place for the enjoyment of those who find pleas- ure ‘in such places, We suggest better care of it by the people only in order | that they may enjoy it the more, for ‘we believe the people who go there do enjoy a clean place more than one $vhich is littered. | The other pleasant feature of the | ‘call made to this office is its indication of the intimacy between the pre n a city of this size the people. {Bomeone wants something done; some information is desired. It is to the press that such person goes, and it is one of the pleasures of this newspaper work that the press is able usually to do that something or give that in- formation. When this relationship is established between the people and the press, then indeed is the pre complishing something worth and then, indeed, is it able operate with those who live within the field of its influence. CHILDR TO SCHOOL “Every day in school is worth $9.02" to a child. This is the state- ment in a bulletin by the TUnited States bureau of education and quoted in a statement of the super- intendent of health of New Britain. This amount, of course, is estimated | as increasing a child’s earning capaci- | ty in later life. Tt is emphasized hn-;\ cause of its relation to the general) health of the children in the Wwhich is not as good after school| opens as it is just previous to that ' time. [ It is with a desire to take precau- | tions to prevent the usual increase in‘ the number of communicable diseases following the opening of school that the health statement appeared newspaper “The communicable or contagious diseases of persons of hool age, diphtheria, scarlet fever show a marked increase .opening of schools in September,” the It then cites advice of the Chicago school of sani- and ac- while to co- issued city superintendent issues the which recently. this | | in common namel and measle following the says statement. the tary instruction as to remedying this situation.

Of course there is a humorous side to the question as to the residence of Salvatore Butera, the Mayor's cholce to fill a vacancy in the board of public works. It was, and possibly is, supposed that part of the me is in Farmington and part in NeW% Britain. In which town, then, does Mr. Butera live? Those who saw the late Bacon in the entertaining play “Lightnin’ " will recall that the hotel to which the old man was attached, was located partly in one state and partly in another. Divorce was easily obtainable in the state into which one part of the hotel projected, and for that reason those coming thither for a divorce registered in-that part of the hotel. Those who did not care to be included in the “divorce colony” registered in the other portion of the hotel. The complications were amus- ing, and the clever idea of building a hostlery thus divided so that no di- vorce taint would attach itself to some of its guests, while others seeking di- vorce might mingle with them, was financially profitable. Farmington has its attractidfis. - Tt is a beautiful place, full of historic traditions. A person from Farming- ton obtains a certain prestige among some people. Many of the rich and happy live in Farmington. A noted playwright has his home there. Then that girl's school with its students gi it attraction. There are a lot of nice things about Farmington. It might well be that, on certain occa- sions, a man would like to say that he lived in Farmington. New Britain, also, has its attrac- tions—great attractions. To say that one comes from New Britain indi- cates that one is ‘quite a worker— although we have the other kind here, too. But the “Hardware Center of the World" is certainly a worth while place, and having a home here gives a man an atmosphere of solid citizen- ship. Tt might well be that many a man boasts of his residence In New Britain. But the actual question of residence is a diffieult one to decide, as is the question of who died first when a ship goes down carrying with it husband and wife. This matter has been settled in this state as a law has been passed ruling against the common law which held that the woman, being wealker, is presumed to have died first. The law now says that husband and wife are presumed to have died simultaneously. But, if rumor is correct the matter of Mr. Butera's residence will not cause trouble as it reported his house stands completely in Farming- ton. At any rate this interesting afair contradicts the old, popular song which held that “Any old place I hang my hat is home sweet home to me.” Frank of NOT ALL IS CHANGE Twenty-five years ago a pacing horse, “Star Pointer,” paced a mile in 1 minutes 59 1-4 seconds, thus becom- ing the first “two minute” pacer on record. The scene remains vividly in memory; the somewhat awed grand- stands, some occupants of which held stop-watches and realized that the record was broken; the animal flying the smooth track of the home stretch—and then the cheering. It s a wonderful performance. Not long ago “Single G.”, 25 years after this exhibition, paced a mile in 1 minute and 59 seconds flat—very lit- tle faster than Star Pointer's record years ago. And “Single G.” is considered one of the hest pacers of the present day. Thus comes the sug- gestion that, after all, the progress made in some fields is not as great as in others and that all is not change, contrary to the popular saying. It is seen, furthermore, that the physical powers of man himself and of animals are less apt to change than are the works of man's hands. Human nature, human ability, and the strength and speed of things animal, remain much the same except for the greater power of the brain to invent and to make those inventions of use to the world. In this there is a warning. The news comes that letters have been delivered in New Britain, coming through the air, and news of similar changes tends to bring a feeling that there may be nothing upon which we may count to | remain practically unchanged. The in- over of fluence of this sentiment is to create unrest. What is the use building for | today, the structure may be out of date? Why | is asked, when tomorrow plan for tomorrow when we can not | tell what tomorrow will bring? These the questions that come to think- when they see taking are the changes about them ing men constantly place And it is well Lo emphasize this divine discontent which brings improvement | over the old way of doing things But it is well, also, to emphasize the fact that nature and nature's laws do to the | extent that artifi- | Upon certain things we able not change cial laws alter. count as far as we are to all the changes about us the law of Justice and honesty remains a fixed law, Knock, and the world knocks with you——and ybu hre the person it knocks, Just see that tall, good-looking chap Dolled up in knickerbockers; He'd be all right if he were not One of those chronic knockers. And see that other, shabby cuss; He's wearing rags and tatters, But everybody is his friend— And Friendship's all that matters. Selection of an artist rather than a musician to pick out girls for a chorus proves again that actions speak louder than voices. It was the ofl stock promotor who took the “igate” out of “investigate." If “opportunity” calls out: “Buy now; don't hesitate,” It doesn't do a bit of harm To puu‘o-—im'cstlgute. If “opportunity” gets mads And slips off with its bait, The act will prove that you were wise ¥ To pause—investigate. Facts and Fancies BY ROBERT QUILLEN. Hootch won't really figure in the campaign except as it appears inside the orators. There's no need to worry about daughter if she isn't too dignified to sit on dad's lap. A war isn't ended until a new crop of customers grows up to replace those killed off. but frequently have Silence is golden, the rewards go to those who brass enough to speak up. A liberator is made great by his followers; a dictator by possession of the whip handle. The only man we ever knew who had a meek and humble nature was insufferably proud of it. ‘““The song struck me all at once,” says a writer of popular melodies. But, unfortunately, it didn't strike him hard enough. A diplomat is one who watches the game so closely that he forgets about those who pay the score, Americans who have tried the Eng- lish channel find it easier to negotiate than the English social swim, The greater his enthusiasm before the event, the greater his grouch as he contemplates the blister, His intimate friends, however, pre- dict that Coolidge will make good in spite of all the Senate can do. Few things are bad as they might be except a post office pen point and a small town alley, Principles are products of environ- ment; ideas products of experienc prejudices products of sore spots. Any father would trust his daughter out with young fellows if he could forget the kind of young fellow he was.

WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE WORLD (By Charles P. Stewart) France has told England she will get out of the Ruhr only on her own terms. . England deems them impos- sible. The French say they will not let any international board decide what Germany should pay them. They demand 36 billion gold marks —nearly six and a half billion dol- lars—plus what ever war indebtness England and America require them to pay. Belglum supports France. DR MAY BE FOREVER Lord Curzon, speaking for England, says this means France will stay in the Ruhr 36 years at least, maybe forever. He'adds that the I'fench de- mand much more than they're en- titled to. . . WILL IT WORK? Chancellor Stresemann is trying to raise a hundred million dollars, not to pay France, but to run Germany. He aims to ge® it from “Big Business.” The same thing's been tried before— unsuccessfully. Stresemann plans also to force German exports to the limit, corre- spondingly reducing imports. The really encouraging thing is that his idea's to make Germany help herself, not get some other country to help her. A *ox . TWO-THIRDS DRY? There's so much prejudice both ways, it's hard to get a disinterested guess on the amount of drinking under prohibition, Foreign delegates at the Interna- tional Anti-Alcohol Congress at Cop- enhagen said it's about one-third the pre-prohibition volume, but the dam- age far exceeds one-third, because of the poor stuff drunk, The congress held special meet- ings to plan a fight for tobacco pro- hibition. o te 8 WORRY ABOUT COAL President Coolidge, through Fed- eral Fuel Distributor Wadleigh, has summoned 11 eastern governors to confer August 28 concerping anthra- cite substitutes, if the miners strike Sept. 1.
