Twenty-three years ago a group of public-ppirited citi- zens’ organized for , the purpose of | arousing much criticism at home and abroad: A few days before the algn- ing of the Kellogg pact the French budget for the year was made pub- lic. It provided $40,000,000 for the army in excess of the budget of 1928. This Poincare rcpresented as “the minimum consistent with French security.” The official explanation of the need for this vast increase in army costs has been that the war changed the French boundaries, and that now it is necessary to construct vast underground fortresses the en- tire length of the border. All of this giving to New Britain a nursing serv- ! ice availdble to residents who could | not afford to engage nurses or whose | physical condition did not require the continuous attention- of skilled | minds and hands. It was tny first | sociation. During (m span of years the as- sociation has justificd its existence in innumerable ways. It would be without the ministrations of its kind- ly offices. Quietly and without osten- tation, the association has proceeded about jte business of alleviating pain, of restoring health to wan and worn bodies, of comforting the afflicted. Rising superior to all obstacles, the voung women who comprise this corps of mercy bring into darkened homes a message of brighter days to come. No day is too stormy to inter- fere with their routine; no home too humble for their visitations, for theirs is the glorious mission of litting burdens from the minds and hodics of the afflicted. Twenty-three years of accomplish- ment lic behind the association, twenty-threc golden chapters in the history of - briaging surcease from worry and ‘sickness. Its progress has | been rharked by an increasing num- ber of friends who have learned through experience of its kindly tasks well performed. It has made this world a better place in which to live, POINCARE RETURNS AFTER TEMPORARY UPSET Off agin’, On agin’, Gone agin’,— thess snappy lines from the famed poem of a generation ago aptly de- seribe- the - Poincaresque political turmoil in France. After his unhors- ing the other day, when the entire Irench cabinet as usual fell in the premier, the leader looked about for a few days, noted that there seemed to he no one else on hand to remount the mare, and decided “in principle” to take an- other chance with the anithal.

This is supposed to be defensive in char- acter. Critics in France naturally League of Nations, treaties, or the Kellogg pact? The treaties to end the possibility of war, does not feel secure. At least, that is the way Poincare felt about it. Disarmament, he held, is still far off | gifficult to imagine New Britain [in spite of the treaiea. Now there has been an overturn. It is still toor close upon the event to judge what ultimate difference. it will make in " the policies of the French gavernment. But one thing seems certain; to keep things on an eevn keel Polncare will be back as premier. A DEMOCRAT IN THE CABINET Rumors are already prevalent that Hoover as President will have a mind of his own and not be guided en. tirely by party dictation. Responsible observers in Washington are aiready bold enough to prophesy that he will appoint a Democrat into the cabinet. 1f politics in this country were run upon a high plane of efficiency there should be room in every presidential cabinet for the defeated presidential candidate of the opposing party. A candidate Tor President, regardiess of party, always is & man of out- standing governmental qualifica- tlons. No party in the history of the government has deliberately nomi- nated a nincompoop as its standard bearer. The mere fact that one of the candidates is defeated does not mean he immediately is entirely be- reft of abllity and value to the gov- ernment. In.parliamentary govern- ments such a defeated candidate automatically becomen the leader of the opposition; in our country we leave him to go into business or, if a lawyer, make his living by practic- ing at the bar. Thus we lose valuabte talent for governmental purposes. Ot course, American politics being whdt they are, it is nearly idealistic the cabinet of Herbert Hoover, de- sirable from aeyery standpoint as it may be. There are too many quite ordinary party individuals who hank. er for such “recognition” to permit this desideratum in our development. But if ever there is to be a change for the better in our conception of such things it wil come under an indeépendent ' thinker like Herbert Hoover. Our ‘guess s, that if it s really llkely that Hoover will wish a Democrat in his cabinet, it will be Owen D. Young, co-author of the Dawes plan and an acknowledged authority in governmental economics and international efficlency, as well as business efficiency, SHELTERS FOR REPORTERS Those membera of the newspaper profession who were 80 unfortunate | as to have to sit through the Yale~ Dartmouth football game Baturday in the drenching rain will be inter- | ested to note that the.

But it ing a variety of reasons for their refusal. That such a roef would mar the symimetrical eéffect of the Bowl has ‘been - for many 'years a stock argument in° favor of continuing the policy of soaking newspapermen, telegraph operators and instruments if it happened to rain during a foot- ball game. This year a step forward was made when a roof was erected to carc for the radio announcer and his micro. phone but the main press stand re. mained uncovered.

Getting Home Somcthing Else The problems connected with get- g around at big football games like those at the Yale Bowl used to be connected with reaching the field, but now they seem to be related to leaving your parking space and find- ing your way back home again. The traffic is heavy on the way to the Bowl, but at least the police will let you get there. Coming back, it is something else again, for at every third cross street you are turned off your intended road and sent groping down roads which you have never seen before and which # may lead anywhere for all you know. 1t is really quite bnd. You look the ground over on the way out and figure just how you can be smart and sneak back without getting into the press of bumper-to-bumper au- tomobiles. 8o, after the game, you start back along this proposed route and for about six blocks you whirl along with no other cars around you, but just as you are beginning to feel gleeful the dark form of an officer looms ahead. He stops you and, In spite of your pleas, he makes you do a right turn and go down a totally strange street. You think you can fool him by turn- ing at the next intersection and | coming back onto your original route block or two further along. But at the next corner is another police- man, and he makes you keep straight on. After a few repetitions of this you decide to turn back toward the Bowl and get on another street where possibly you can come in without interference. So you do a few more turns and finally discover a beauti- ful, wide street with no traffic what- soever upon it. Down this you whir, but suddenly you encounter one of the same cops who stopped you be- fore, and he again diverts you to the right and leaves you just where you were 15 minutes before. This in spite of the fact that the thor- oughfare u wanted to wuse was completely hare of traffic. Ry this time you are without your arip on your temper, and any ladies in the car are shocked at your lan- ruage. It is also beginning to rain and grow dark, and driving Is just about ¢nough to rip your nerves clean to shreds. You park, give It | up 2ltogether for a few minutes and park by the roadside to recover your composure, Then you go on again and finally manage to get back to your or- iginal route and dash past the of- ficer hefore he can play tricks with you. Yet, a street or two further along, you are sure to find another one who will send you feeling your way along the highway to the left. After an hour or so of this you finally get through New Haven and on the road home again, but you will never be able to tell unyone just how vou did it. And you will come to the conclusion that thers are just about three ways Lo come back from the Bowl to the center In quick time: 1. Seat a Yale player or bands- 1, in uniform on the hood of your ¢ and go snootily past all traffic Be injured and have the am- bulance lug you back. 3. Start a fight and come In in the police patrol. A fourth way is to stay home in the first place. Touce Lost Even Though His Candidate Won An Italian friend of ours in talk- ing over the vesults of the national ¢lection, explained his idea of the best to fix the fellows who voted for Hoover. It seems that our friend had another friend, named Louis, who was a staunch supporter of Hoover while he himself was red hot ahout 8mith. The following vesion explains itself: “Dis fellow Louee, he come {o my house every night to sit down and talk politics. 1 say to my wife, Ma- ria, get da pitch and get some vino.

Perhaps the most amusing to all but the principal, was the case of the woman caught by the crowds that surged forward for a closer view of Governor Smith when he was in this city, ralsed aloft and deposited on the pavement with both her shoes off. She spent several anxious momeats attempting to lo- cate her footgear and in the mean- time doing an enforced Charleston dance to keep her dainty toesies from being stepped on. At the first of the larger demo- cratio rallies a speaker denounced Herbert Hoover declaring no man should seek public office who waited until he waa 42 years of age to be- come a voter. About one week later a lusty throated campaigner pointed to the “fact” that Hoover did pot become a voter until he was 3 years of age. Last week the repub- lican cundidate was under fire at another democratic gathering, this time because “he did not become a voter until he was 46 years of age.” SBumming up the discrepancies, one commentator remarked: “If the campaign lasts another month they'll have Hoover 80 old he can't ‘Vote at all.” The republicans who had & group of widely advertised speakers for a fitth ward rally and then found they could hold no rally because no one came to hear, had a match in the democrats who assembled a crowd one night and then had no speaker. It was on the night of the Smith demonstration and a political gathering wt Central Park was planned. The speakers were on the train, however, and couldn't get off When it pulled out unexpectedly, and they were whisked to Water- bury. The crowd assembled at the green and the band played scveral selections. When the time came for the speaking part of the gram, a hurried consultation was held, and it was decided that one of the younger democrats should announce the rally would be neld later in the evening at another point, As he w about to mount the stone steps for Iis announcement he was urged to make the forthcoming rally sound as attractive as poesible. He suc- ceeded—he included the name of Al | Smith among the speakers to be | heard at Maln and East Maln streets. During the perfod of condemna- tion by the democrats of the repuh- lican Hoover pledge card system, one of the democratic chalrmen of a city commisgion recelved a letter at his home addressed in & firm busincas hand. Opening the envel. ope, he drew éut a card and to his amazement found a Hoover pledg~ card with his own name signed in handwriting that he had difficulty in distinguishing from his own, Police Powers of Mayor And Election Day Incident Inquiry into the election day In- cident In which a supernumerary policeman was withdrawn from duty at the sixth ward polling place after he had “bawled out” Mayor P’aon. essa and ordered the mayor out of the Elihu Burritt school building, has brought out interesting information with reference to the mayor's du- ties and powers. Perusal of the city charter plain. i1y shows that the mayor nol only has all the powers of a policeman, but also that he is required to ex- ercise them, particularly with re- spect to assemblies in buildings. And to protect the mayor in the exercise of those powers, the char- ter of the city goes a step further and provides that anyone who shall abuse the mayor while he is so do- ing is lable to a fine of $100 and & jail sentence of six montha. In point, is Section 1, Chapter 6, of the charter, which directs: “The mayor of said city shall be the chief executive magistrate thereof, and it shall be his duty to be vigilant in causing the laws thereof to be en- forced * * * He shall have the power to enter any house, bullding or place in which he may suspect any disorderly or rant persons t0 be assembled ® * ¢ and he is authorized to exercise within the limits of said city all the powers given to sheriffs and other officers by the laws of this state, and he may at all times require the aid of any sheriff, deputy sheriff, constable or policeman, or any or all of them * ¢ ° and may call out the regular or supernumerary police force of the city whenever he may deem it necessary and may exert all the force necessary to enable him te execute the laws within said city.” Section 8 of the same chapter provides the penalty for abusing the mayor. The mayor has insisted he wan within his rights in being in the polling place. He had been in the other schoolhouses where the vots was heing taken, making the tour several times to mee that the elec- tion laws were being enforced and that all eligibles were being permite ted fo exercise thelr franchise, he explained following the incident. When first accosted by the police- man, the mayor was in the act of signing the park department pays roll, upt. Clyde Ellingwood having located the mayor at the school building. It is scarcely believable that Su- pernumerary Policeman Harry Mount, the officer Involved in the altercation, did not know Mayor Paonessa who has been in public office more than one-half the 2 years Mount has been a policeman; it is more probable he did not un- derstand that charter provisions make the mayor his chief.

COMMUNICATED HERI A DEEP ONE FROM MARTIN KELLY-—~DEMOCRATS IN SIXTH BOMBARD CRITICS Editor Herald— . This brings the following back tc the writer's memory: The nervous preacher, giving ou notices.

The collection will be for the new heating apparatus. Oh, what a strunge looking re- turn, exclaimed a sweet young thing from the Fifth ward. But why hasn’t 1t any horns. Well you see, explained the Bixth warder, some cows s born without horns and never has any, and eth- ors shed theirs, and some we de- horn, and some breeds aint aup- poxed to have horns at all. There's lots of reasons why mome cows aint got horns, but the big reason why that cow aint got horns is becauss she aint a cow—she’s a horse. Fellow citizens, don't lose your temper. Respectfully yours, MARTIN J. KELLY. COMMUNICATED . A Brickhat—and the Answer tor New Britain Herald, Dear Siri— Can you give any good and suffi- cient reason why you who claim to be an independént paper, did not publish the perfectly splendid, digni- fied message which Herbert Hoover gave when notified of his address? Yours truly, FAIR PLAY. We do not quite get our cor- respondent’s meaning. We sHresume she means we failed to print Her- bert Hoover's acceptance speech, ° when he was notified of his nomina- tion. To this we plead guilty, we merely printed an abstract or sum- mary. He spoke on a Saturday, 1 we remémber right, teo late for that day's paper and we did not publish again until Monday. Why should we devote 8 to 10 columns of our space to news nearly 48 hours old? Election times are trying times for every editor, whatever his de- gree of independence or his political alleglance. They will continue to be 80 until his readers consider every factor in the situation before thoughtiessly condemning him for his handling of news matter. Those Who find fault usually do so because they are so hopelessly prejudiced themselves that they have lost their sense of balance in news. As & mat- ter which might be of interest to the writer of the letter, we might state that we huve been as heartlly con- demned by some democrats-for lack of adhcrence to their cause as w have been by republicans for the same reason.
