When the time comes that Des spots and natural points of interest and recreation are withdrawn from the use of the public for various rea- sons or the growth of the state threatens the reduction of the recrea- | tion places which have for long ex ed there 1s an excellent service which can be rendered by the state through the state park commission created at the last session of the legislature. The idea of such a commission is founded upon conservation of historic places and natural parks and the securing of them for the use of the public while and when they are obtainable. Connecticut is full of just such spots and it was unfortunate that the con- dition of the state's finances left the commission without an adequate ap- propriation to carry out the purchase »f such tracts as might be considered advisable. Such has not left the com- mission without duties, however, since its creation it was wisely provided hat they had the power to accept gifts of such land in behalf of the state d through that the opportunity for serving it forever, and for such re- sponsibility organization has been per- fected. The commission 1s one which neces- sarily must work for the future. It of- fers the chance for public spirited tizens to profit from the administra- m and reservation of property. Its service awaits the direction of the people of Connecticut. The state park commission can do for Conneecticut what a municipal commission would do for a cit THE CAL c It is a frightful tale of inexcusable slaughter which comes from the min- ing town of Calumet, Mich, where ighty-three lives were crushed out be- se of the dastardly act of an in- human wretch, or the deplorable lack of common sense In a practical joker. What he expected to accomplish is un- certain; what resulted is positive. Sufficiently dangerous and inconsid- erate is the person who will e when such a condition exists and thereby throws into confusion a crowd ¢ the form of alarm is made uncontrollable, but far wa is the person who will deliberate bring situation without the least er, save to laugh at the excitement he ma cause, Fortunate, indeed, is the gathering where such willful act does not result in a loss of life. The exciiable person who eries “Fire!” is a menace to every ecommu- nity, but the villain who deliberately brings about such a calamity deserves the administration « stice. The Calumet affair one of the many havoe the examples of the which can be wrought through lack of good judgment. It is a erime which is nothing more or less than wholesale murder. It carries its own lesson to those who would be reck- less with the lives of others and de- mands the location and punishment of the one who conceived and carried out the awful affair. It is one of the worst crimes in the history of the state, and it is almost inconceivable that it can be the act of a sane man. EXPERIMENTAL RURAL SCHOOL. Complete freedom from restraint is the 1lot of the children who attend the expertmental rural school at Winthrop coMege, Rock Hil, S B There are no or desks in this school; no rooms; no rule of silence; but a free activity guided and directed by a wo- man who is in with country children and country life. In many respeets this school bears a resemblance to the Montessori scheols but it was begun by the teach- er, Mrs. Hetty Browne, quite inde- pendent of the theories of the Italian teacher. It is essentially an experi- mental school where it is hoped te learn by actual experience what kind of a school is best adapted to rural life, The children in this rural school are not assigned to classes and periods as in the traditiomal scheol. They weork in groups in the garden, on the ve- rande, sewing, in the kitchen at a cooking task or deing numbers or reading with the teacher in her room. It is a radical change from the lit- tle red sehoolhouse plan and an over- theew of many well founded ideas even in rural education. It calls for a teach er _particularly well equipped for such instruotion. ‘The three R's. are mot | taught as subjects but only as the terrible | complete sympathy | den. The whole idea is for the chil- dren to find out ‘things, if possible without being told. The plan is one education, HeP s Sl AT e L PANAMA CANAL TOLLS. The introduction of the Adamson resolution in congress is the first ac- tion of the new congress for the ad- justment of the uncertainty which sur- rounds the Panama canal act, relative to the question of tells. Whether it will have the approval of the admin- istration has not been revealed but as it stands at presemt it is a compro- mise of the situation. The resolution has te do with the time the tell om American vessels will go into effect and such is to be determined by the guestion of expense. If it is deter- mined that tells from vessels flying the flag of this country are not re- quired to meet the cost of operation the president can, after a period of two vears, put the eyemption into ef- fect. This permits of time in which *h a better understanding with nations which have objected to the T ng of American vessels free, as a violation of the treaty agreement. Whether the Adamson resolution will | be adopted cannot he foretold. It does, however, set the ball in motion for a consideration of this important mat- ter which needs to be cleared up. .f an interpretation of the treaty is neces- sary to determine the meaning and working of it the quicker it can be had the better. Tt needs to be determined whether we are right in the legislatfon which has been enacted through the interpretation the last administration placed upon the treaty.

He was also a widower, and had decided to marry again, although his 1l4-year- old daughter was runping the house very well. Caleb wasn't a rich man, but in de- ciding to merry n the guestion of property had no uence. He was one widewer in a hundred about that. The widower had an appetite. He was born with it. It was an appetite that would have done. credit to one of his work horses. He shoveled down the boiled dinners—the pork and beans —the fried pork and potatoes—the bread puddings and two hours later he could eat as much as if he had been all day without a meal. ‘When Caleb got ready to 'look up a wife it was almost a question of “Can she cook?” There might be much love to start on, but as she cooked and cooked, the love would grow and bloom and blossom until he would finally have to squint twice to malke out whether she had wings or arms. Caleb, didn't put up any party on his three children had come to the coneclusion to marry again. He sat down with his pipe after a hard day’s work and ate a supper that would have made an ox groan with contentment, and said. “Mary, I'm a hearty eater.” surprise when he “Yes, father.” ‘Keeps you cooking most of the time." “Yes.” “You arter have more schooling.” “I think so.” “But my appetite keeps you home and keeps you over the hot stove.” “Yes, father.” “Therefore, Mary—therefore—" “But you must have all you want to eat” said the girl as he hesitated. “Seems that way, but I've thinking of late that’if I could change fodder 1 wouldn't eat so much. You cook first rate, but i's allus the same things over and over. Now, if a new hand was to come in there'd be a change in the dishes, eh?” “I guess they would, but who can you hire?” “Nobody body ‘tall. “Then how—" “Get married agin. Get a wife to do the cooking. Get a wife who's got a twist. of the wrist about bilin' and bakin’ and gettin’ up new dishes. What ve think of 1 t's for you to decide father.” You children won't raise any ro That’s mighty nice of you and you can count on getting some Santa Claus in_your Christmas stockings.” “Have you picked her out?” was timidly asked. “Only just kinder picked her out.

After I've eaten one meal in her house I can tell whether she’ll fill the bill or not.” The Widder Bliss lived in the viliage three miles away. She was 45 years old and was weary of facing the trou- bles of life alone. If some good man came along—some real good some man that would appreciate her many good qualities—why, why— No one must blame her or sneer at her. As we are toid in Holy Writ, husbands shall not know their wives in heaven and wives shall not know their husbands. Therefore, it is better to get plenty of husbands and wives on earth. Caleb, the widower, loaded up five bushels of potatoes, hied him down to the Widow Bliss with them. They were a gift to her, and she. made it plain that his generosity was duly ap- preciated. in each other, hour and he had timed the that she invited ay to supper.

Can she make a cup of tea to curl the hair, or is there a taste of dishwater about it?" The widow won the gold medal with a bread pudding. It was baked in a dish half the size of a milk pan. Caleb’s wife used to make what she called bread puddings, but they didn’t hoid a candle to this onme. A still small voice whispered to the widow that her visitor would eat that pudding to a standstill if given a chance, and she made the chance. It touched the spot. For the first time in years he shoved back from the table with his appetite perfectly satisfied. ~ When ready to go he said:— “Widder, you are a nice little wom- an! I'm glad you think so, with a laugh. “L ghall probably come around this way again.” “And I shall always be glad to see ou.’ ¥ Phe father went home and told_the daughter what teok place, and added “Mighty nice widder and mighty nice bread pudding; but, of course, that don’t settle it. she replied o “There’'s the Widder Cable. ve been told that she took a prize at the county fair for her preserves.” “It was_ for her pickled father, We have ne peaches, I never tried my hand at it “Seems to me now that it's pickled peaches, and so Now that the Christmas rush is ever there is that uncertain amount of ex- change business on which the stores must still figure. good fellows who better by the part in the distribution There are many have been made | which they played of Christmas cheer.

She was nearly 50 years old, and had split ner own wood, milked her own cows and built her own fires on hundreds of winter morn- ings since her good husband departed this life. She knew Mr. Andrews very well, and if she had wondered why he | didn’t take a second wife that was no crime on her part. She simply blushed and picked up things and straightened the chairs back when she caught sight of him driving up, and had time to say to herself before he came in: “My stars, it's the Widower Andrews, and land only knows why he had come; oy brung you some beets and onions, widder,” said Caleb as he came in. “Then you are a dear, good man. You know I've no garden.” “Can’t no lone woman do much with a garden. g “You are right, they can't.” Caleb was not invited to stay to sup- per, but what was just as good, he was asked to sit down to bread and butter and pickled peaches. A still, small voice whispered to the Widow Cable as she was down cellar getting the peaches that she had better get an abundance of them while about it, and she lifted 23 big rare-ripes out of their bath before she halted. “Same as you took the prize with?” asked the ‘widower as his mouth watered at sight of the peaches. “Pickled after the same recipe. I hope vou will like them.” He did. When he was through there were 23 peach pits lying on his plate ! as living proofs that he liked pickled peaches. The edge had been quite taken off his appetite, “Widder Cable, I think some of get- tin' married agin,” he said, as he shoved back. “Dear me; I don't blame you one single bit;” she replied as she twisted her apron in delightful em- barrassment.” “I may call again.” “I'd be happy to have you.

Mr. Editor: 1 read this morning among The Bulletin’s Condensed Tele- grams “Cincinnati passed an ordinance requiring all vehicles to carry head- lights. This also affects baby car- riages.” Is not the latter part of the ordi- nance surprising and needless when babies are not only the light of the | home but of the world? Are not the | two bright and sparkling headlights in the baby's attractive face sufficient to serve as a safeguard against danger to any except the few who have no more regard for a baby than for a Teddy bear? For are not the brightest starg lusterless compared with baby’s | eyes? Ask mother, and she will tell you, as her face lights up in compli- ance with the law of nature, Yes, verily, baby’s eyes are sufficient as headlights, if the Cincinnati babies are as handsome as those wheeled on the sidewalks of Norwich! Perhaps, if daddy be the metive power behind the baby carriage, Cin- cinnati will regard his lighted cigar as _a lawful headlight. We can’t possibly do without our babies, and they must have outdoor air; but, without making more light of the ordinance, I do think we ean got along very well without any additional headlights to our baby carriages.

We all agree we should strive for it, but what is it? My own notion is that “the best” is whatever favors the fullest develop- ment of the personality. I believe we are set in this garden of the world to grow, and that he who grows most perfectly is the best man. Over the individual man is mankind. ‘Whatever is hostile to the full" de- velopment and permanent order, health and joy of the whole race becomes a “bad” thing for the single person, and whatever promotes the welfare of humanity is a “good” thing in the one man. From this comes what we call moral- ity, which is the limiting of the in- dividual self-expression by the col- lective, No man ner conspiracy eould ‘es- tablish a fake or artifielal system of ethics which will stand the test of | time. For morals are the feeling of | self-preservation in the race, super- imposed upon the feeling of self-ex- pression in the individual, The great “law givers” never “gave” laws at all, They discovered them They were poets, seers, Let us go back te eur definition, “the best is whatever favors the full- | est growth of the persomality,” and | ask how we may know what this is.} The answer is, by experience, not only | individuai experience but the experi- ence of the whole werld. The latter is stored in our conscience, cellared in our inborn sense of right and wreng. Thus, then, we may know what is “best.” First, it is whatever in us| seeks expression, it is the forthputting | of our personality. And second it is the world consciousness, more or less manifested in love, patrietism, God, [DAV 5c and 10c “THE QUEEN'S JEW 3 THRILLING an M FRENCH DRA " { EELS "> REEL BOMING DEVUOT BEAUTIFUL WESTERN £ 8ERa>""™° DEVOTION HIS FIRST CASE American Drama IColonial MATINEE 6c CHARLES McNU PHOTO PLAY wom HATERS Keystope Comedy Theatre Y, r.
