The smallest impress them. They wonder why a certaln person frowned as he pussed the time of day; they wonder why this and that is so. They look about them to see if they can learn some- thing from the actions and attitudes taken by others. They wapt to get all the Information they can, not out o euriosity, but rather to see if they may profit by a study of cause and effect— by the experiences of others, There are others upon whom even great disasters which do not affect them personally make little impres- slon. Most of us are like that. A great catastrophe is heard of in some far distant place; it is commented upon conventionally and then prac- tically forgotten. It does not come home to such people; it does not make them think. All the world has, spoken its word concerning the tragedy in Japan and nations have shown their willingness to help the sufferers. But individuals, | for the most part, have allowed it to pass from their minds as another of the terrible things that have hap- pened with which they, ‘individually, have little to do and of which it profits them little to think. i But the disaster is now brough close home to many people in this part of the country. A man formerly of Waterbury, who had reached the hon- ored post of consul in Shanghai and who was acting consul general, is re- ported to have been killed. He was known in Waterbury and New Haven, where he won athletic honors at Yale. He was once one of our people. There may come a contradiction of the sad report that he and his wife were vic- tims of the tragedy. Sincere is the hope that such contradiction will come, But the report, at any rate, does bring the disaster home to us, impresses us forcibly and lead to a train of thought which makes the catastrophe very real. We see men, on our streets whom we know well. They might have been in this disaster.. We, ourselves, might have been called to that country for some _ reason. We might have been killed, .or we. might have been in other tragedies. Some horror such as this might come to us right here in this city. There is no wisdom in carrying the suggestion into the realms of the morbid. Of course we know there is danger for us always. But the whole matter emphasizes the one thought that we who are well and free today from tragedy of any kind should ap- preciate that fact. Such thought makes our work, easier, our willing- ness to serve greater and gives each of us a higher appreciation of the good things we have, the comparatively comfortable conditions in which we live. And that thought is worth while, NORMAL SCHOOL OPENS Whether they realize it or not most of the people of this city are concern- .ed with the opening of the State Normal School today. Those young women who are attending the school are, of course, the ones whose They are the year interest is immediate. ones who will appreciate the obliga- | tion they are assuming when they go | to this school if they are the right sort | that a league of laymen actively and of girls, And the interest of other peo- ple of this city, parents and men and | women who will become in the now studying at the parents, lies | just this—that young women Normal shall come out, prepared to teach the chil- peet from ates of the rupture prestige. would “disoard” advice such the hands of Normal ITALY AND THE LEAGUE Comment is made that the fate of the League of Nations and possibly the peace of Europe rests in the hands ¢| of Premier Mussolini, of Italy. ‘With all due respect for the person who so comments, on¢ may take the liberty of differing from him and stat- ing that quite possibly the Italy and the peace of Europe rests ‘in the hands of the Loague. certain way in which Greece's appeal to the League was made and the later action of Greece in suggesting that settlement might be made without de- cision of the League, throws a cloud overP the situation through which it is not easy, at this time, to see the truth. Italy signed the League covenant as it was, Italy thereby pledged hersell not to withdraw without two promised, by such covenent, that it subscribed terms which provided that in case of any dispute which might lead to a between ni League she would submit the question either to arbitration or to inquiry by the Council of the League and that she would not resort to three months after the award by the arbitrators or the report by the Coun- cil had been made. If Greece presses her case for con- sideration by the League or arbitr: tors, and if Greece does not waive any of her League rights by making offer of settlement regardless of the League that organization' is bound to notice of the situation bound to honor by a solemn interna- tional agreement from which she can not withdraw because of fetched interpretation excepting this situation from those covered by the provisions in the League covenant.

Quite possibly Mus- solini, whose success has been pro- nounced and who, on most matters has seemed to assume a strong stand feels that his per- sonal power is so great he may speak for Italy and act for Italy risking the loss of such strength and But the present indications are that he will think again before he runs this risk, head of an emotional With conditions in Europe as they are it is to be doubted that even Mussolini on in this stand, and doubtful if Greece, if she is convinced that he would do so, would allow the matter to come to this pass. even with the feeling that she would be morally right in insisting upon the submission League, s too eager to avoid war td force Mussolini's hand, and the latter refusing will dare it is eq matter to an “LESS BIBLE" Many people will be shocked to find vitally interested comes in from church urges that “less Bible" and more pey- chology, sociology and economics taught in the theological schools.

They, these men not clergymen, want a spiritual adviser able, hecause he has been taught, to grasp the practical problems that confront every man and knowing the perplexities of such prob- lems, be able to advise not only wisely but properly in the light of his knowl- edge of the higher spiritual things. When a man secks a clergyman for advice as to how he should act in a certain case which perplexes him and which may have to do with business relations, for instance, such seeker for advice would like to find a man of God familiar with the practical business and social problems so that his spirit- ual advice might be made pragtical by such knowledge, 4 Un®oubtedly this report was made in all respect for the clergy and with reverent acknowledgment of the pow- er o# the Bible, Viewed as such 1t is worth considering.

B FINE OF $400 FOR DEALER IN LIQUOR Propropinski Also Given Sus pended Sentence of 19 Days Fines totaling $400 and a 15 day suspended jail sentence were handed out to Adolph Propropinski, who wad arraigned before Judge B. W. Alling in police court thls morning on a charge of violating the liquor law, Propropinski entered a plea of guilty through his attorney, Willlam Man- gan, Prosecutor Willlam Greenstein stated that the accused man was ar: rested on August 25 by Detective Ser- geant William P, McCue, Policemen Patrick O'Mara and John Stadler fol- lowing a rdid at hisstore on Lafayette street by these officers. The prose- cutor stated that Policeman O'Mara found a huge tank containing liquor concealed behind a wall ini the rear of the building. Judge Alling found Propropinski guilty of keeping a place with a rep- utation and keeping liquor with in- tent to sell, and fined him $200 and costs on each count, A 15 day sus- pended jail sentence was also added. Judgment. was suspended in the case of Divieno Saveno, charged with the theft of clothes from Michael Parkinson on the night of Jurk 20. Prosecutor Greenstein said that Sa- veno was seen running through lots and along Smalley street, and when ordered to stop by Policeman William Grabeck he refused to do so, with the result that the policeman fired his re- volver and three of the bullets took offect. Saveno has been confined at the hospital since that time and will be obliged to return to the institu- tion for further treatment. Prosecutor Greenstein rémarked that he believed Saveno has recelved sufficient punishment for his misde- meanoy. Saveno was brought into court with the aid of friends, and when seated it was necessary for him to rest his legs in another chair. At- torney P. F. McDonough represented him. The case of Charles Kosorik, charged with drunkenness and breach of peace, was continued until tomor- row morning in order to grant the acused man time to secure counsel.

Having resolved to put herself out of the life which held nothing for her, Karin Sandel tells the story of her emotional experiences and how she slipped out of the conventional path of men and women. She was forced when very young into a matriage of convenience without knowledge eithen of herself or of men. Her painful ini- tiation made her a rebel against so- | ciety and its laws.
