Jodoin, the democratic candidate for congress, | Proposes to contest with Congressman | Higgine the recent election in Third district, has started natura very elose scrutiny of the votes the y a in that part of the state. The figure experts of The Courant discovered esterday that the votes of Thompson for governor and congressman were | exacily the reverse of one another Ther were Goodwir Higgins .172 Baldwin 172 Jodoin 206 This' looked s0 iike a clerical error that the town clerk, whose official re- turns these figures were taken from, was called up by The Courant.

Candidate Jodoin, wnder unusually favorable conditions, made u great run, but he failed to receive the required plurality That Congressman Higgins has a plurality which eannot be overcome by a re- count there i8 mo reason to doubt. Candidate Jodoin has his “doots” and he is willing to part with his good money to have them settled and set tled right. This simply shows that he i ever ready to go his length on the slightest provocation. It will be more atisfactory to both to have the mat- ter positively settled.

Dr. Legendre cites a few cases in which the rpuscles of the blood have heen counted | before and after an automobile jour- | ney of séme duration. In one case a | patient had 3.500,000 ved corpuscles per cubic centimenter of blood before | he started on a two weeks' trip. At the end of that time his blood con- tained 5,000,000 red corpuscles to the cubic centimeter. In other words, an | anemic man had been made normal. Dr. Monneyrat cites instances of | men whose bhlood had been enriched | to above the normal by ' automobile | the number of red corpus-| >s having sometimes increased to as | high 000,000 per cubic centimetes i i What is true of the number of cor puscles js alsa true of their strength. The most important constituent of the red corpuscles is hemoglobin. A pa- tient of Dr. Monneyrat's who had only | 60 per cent. of the normal quantity of hemoglobin in his blood was sent on a month’s journey in a motor car; | after 1t, his blood contained 85 per | cent. of the normal quantity of hemo- | globin. In the case of another more | ious case of anemia, in which there s only 5 per cent. of the normal | amount of hemoglobin, three months of motoring raised the guantity to 75| per cent. i These benefits to the blood are pro- | duced by the rush of pure air against | the body and into the lungs, which it | stimulates to deeper breathing. The | open-air travel also promotes quiet- | ness and sleep in nervous patients. w STRIKE. great express strike at New | York has not elicited much sympathy from the public for the corporations, are rea- conduct of the big| dividend-making concerns most un-| it In these times she men are ask- | ing that their working day be limitec | NO PUBLIC SYMPATHY WITH I | The sonable and the to eleven hours: and the pay of all men advanced from $45 a month to $50 a month, and a corresponding advance of $5 a month to all assistants who were getting less than $75 a month. | The companics replied in contention | that their volume of business made difficult if not impossible for them to reduce the working day; and that with | present earnings as they were it wae impossible for them to increase the wages of the men. The men soon found that with no organization b hind them they were in no position to rge their demands with any degree of force, so the helpers and assistants | proceeded to join the umion of team- | sters in order that that m-»zanw./mmy1 might champion their cause.

Of late we hear a good deal of dis- cussion concerning the employment of children. Like every other topic, thers are two sides to the question. We all admit that the future usefulness of the boy or girl as a member of the community is increased by the educa- tion he receives. and therefore his school life should be as long as pos ble. Also we believe that no child should be compelled to take up the dutiss and cares of manhood in his eartier life. and activity which are the birthright of every boy and girl which help to fit the child for the work of later life. One is apt to be a better man or wom- |an for the memory of the pleasures of earlier days. Yet, on the other hand, if a child has no aptitude for study, and by remaining in school is oniy forming habits of jdleness and loafing at his work, why should he not be al- lowed to obtain work in which he may be_ interested, and by which he may help to increase the income of an overworked father or of a mother weighed down by widowhood and poverty and struggling to provide for {a family of littie onas? Most often the fault, if there be one, h the parents who want the earnings of the child. This recall my mind an instance of the kind wt ich Lena Breslau came to her teacher | {one day with this request: ‘Please, Miss Eliss, my mother wants me to bring my certificate from you so 1 can get into the mill. I must leave | school tonight and go to work | “I'am sorry. Lena” was the reply; | “must you go? You arc doing well land ought to learn more.

Perhaps she can be per: 2d to let you finish this grade, at least “Thank you, Miss Bliss, afraid she won’t let me.” And eather- ing up her small helongings, Lena left the room, wiping away the tears as she went.

She used to be so neat and well-mannered.” Certainly the contrast was very great. voice harsh, and her face was deflant and coarsened. Plainly Lena was no longer the pure, sweet, shy child of one year ago. The girls whom she joined were much older than she, but not the companions Miss Bliss would choosa for Lena, and their coarse, loud talk and laughter rang in her ears as she went on her way. For weeks afterward she saw noth- | ing of Lena. She was told that the girl had been ill of fever, and made a | call at the Breslau house. Lena’s mother evidently felt pleased to have her daughter remembered by her for- mer teacher. The girl had been sick, she said, but had returned to her | work that very day. “The boss” said he, “very much likes Lena, and gifs her goot pay. She IS a fine worker, and for her he keeps the place entire- v, till she can to the mill come back. He not do that for some of the girls. Lena is goot girl” _ The next day the fire alarm aroused the community, and soon it was found that the cotton miil was on fire. The streets were filled with an eager throng rushing toward the burning building, for it was rumored that many of the girls were Imprisoned on the top floor by the flames. Among those girls was Lena Breslau, and in the panic that | followed the discovery of the fire, | each thought only of her own safety. The strong pushed the weak out of their way to the fromt in their hurry to escape. Lena, weakened by her fllness, was forced aside by many a rude blow.
