The opening week of the Norwich playgrounds was a very successful one, there being large attendances, espe- clally of small children, at all the school yards. Well over 2,000 children took advantage of the grounds during th opening week. The figures for the various yards are: Lake street 1,071, Mt. Pleasant 4£3, Hobart avenue 560, Falls, no report. A feature of the playgrounds this year is the story hour, when the chil- dren bring their favorite books and the teachers read to them. At the Hobart avenue grounds the children are enjovi-~ fairy stories under the direction of Miss Abby Gallup. The playgreunds are short of yarn for the knitting clubs and would appre- ciate gifts of odds and erds from any- one who has yarn and is willing to onate it. The youngest knitter in he grounds is Miss Margaret Cole- man at the Falis school, who is only 5 years old, but is busy knitting squares for a Belgian baby’s blanket. There have been many mothers who visited the grounds durine the fir week. The boys at the Falls have or- ganized a quoit team and expect to meet teams from the other grounds. The impression has been current that where the grounds are located in a school yard they are only for the pu- pils who attended that school. This is errontous, as the grounds are intend- ed for all chiidren within the age limits in the vicinity in which they are located. STATE FARM WILL BE SUPPLEMENT TO JAILS, Will Accomplish Reform Work That Cannot Be Done in Jails. The state farm for women at East Lyme, which opened for the reception of inmates last week, will have an in- creasingly beneficial influence upon conditions in Hartford, according to Miss Anne D. Melvin, probation officer for the juvenile cases in the city police court. At present girls over 21 may not be committed to either of the pri- vate institutions heretofore provided for delinquents, and many girls falsi- fied their ages to avoid commitment to those institutions. Thus the jail is the only place to which police court could send scores of women and girls who needed constructive reformation rather than punishment, Miss Melvin said. County jails are not planned as women'’s reformatories and they can hardly be expected to fill the needs of the hour. Delinquent women are committed to the institution, not for a definite sen- tence of 30 or 80 days, as they are sent to jail, but for an intererminate period, or until they show the author- ities that they are able morally and physically to take up their places in society again and live straight, sober lives. The purpose of the reformatory, ! meanwhile, is to zive these women and girls the environment they ought to have had at all time, while they are collecting themselves for the counter- attack upon the entanglements of or- sanized society.

Over Eighty at “Y” Breakfast. Over eighty sailors and soldiers par- took of the Sunday breakfast at the local Y. M. C. A. building yesterday at 9.30 o'clock. The menu consisted of boiled eggs, fish balls, baked beans, bread and butter, coffee and doughnuts; the cof- fee and doushnuts were contributed by kind friends. Pretty flowers were sent in and a lady friend of the “Y” and the enlisted men placed violets at each plate. Several young Jadies as- sisted members of the Y, M. C. A, Auxiliary in serving the breakfast. The talk was, given by President James L. Case, and it brought forth loud applause. Mr. Case spoke of the wonderful growth of the navy and ar- my, and said that our navy is now larger than was the great English navy previous to the present war. He said that we must keep up our good and glorious record until the victory was won as it surely will be. The morale of our army and navy will play a most important part in the win- ning of the war, and in order to leep up this fine morale, we must look to the source of all goodness and power, and that source is Jesus Christ. Next Sunday morning, John McKin- ley will speagk to the boys. Sold Watered Milk, The dairy and food commission has received reports of the conviction of . W.

Graham, ed a special sermon in of Bastile Day, the French National Holiday. Mr. Graham said-in part: On the Fourth of July France cele- brated our national holiday. It is fit- ting that we should join her today in commemorating her national holiday. The closeness of the days and the fact that the events which they mark took place only a few years apart, suggest the comparison of the two great revo- lutions which have marked the found- ing of the two greatest republics of the world today. The destruction of the Bastile by the mobs of Paris meant far more than simply the overthrow of this fortress and prison. It meant the destruction and annihilation of the class rule, op- pression and all the other evils for which the Bastile was the symbol. It meant the beginning of the recognition by the people as the people that they were a power. The fall of the Bastile was symbolic of the entire French rev- olution in that it was primarily de- structive. It is difficult to estimate the good and the evil of the revolu- tion correctly, but there is no doubt but that it marks a step in human progress. g The liberty, equality and fraternity for which the French peasants fought have not yet been fully attained; they are still being carried on, and for that reason the democracies of the earth are now deliberately seeking to de- stroy. We believe that the triumph of Prussian militarism means oppres- sion for us of the same kind that the French suffered under the rule of their kings and nobles. To some the French revolution is only the horror and bloodshed of'the reign of terror and'the destruction of the Bastile. The truth of the fact that some of the leaders were willing in their blood lust and blind fury to sacrifice the innocent with the guilty cannot be guestioned. ,In all its ruth- lessness the Trench revolution came as the agent for the destruction of all the horrors of feudal France. In this we find the fundamental difference be- tween the French and our own revolu- tion. Vh he Declaration of Inde- pendence was written under the influ- ence of the same French philosophy which resulted in the revolution, the colonists had no such evils to contend with as had the French. The war of the revolution shows that right is not victorious without a struggle, and in this struggle the evils which are op- posed to right are destroyed. Inde- pendence day sugge: the positive as- sertion of constructive effort while Bastile day suggests the opposite. But it is a mistake to assert.that the spirit of France is destructive rather than constructive. We are allied in a work of destruction—for war is destructive—but we are fighting to remove the curse of militaristic despotism which precludes the enjoy- ment of life, liberty and happiness. When the war is over, noble France, which has called forth the admiration of all men, will be one of the leaders in establishing the de- mocracy people to rule and fight during the past four year: The French revolution shows how cruel and unjust the people of as a mob may be, but ihe of France for the past four hows that the people of a are able to be trusted in time The praise for the gallant fight of France is showered upon the people as a people and not upon a few outstanding leaders. The people of a democracy may be a mob as blind with furysof the French revolutionists or they may be an army that is ruled by something greater than discipline, » and Frames, Axles and other metal parts heroic _and; and a country fighting with one great heart for one great caus Many people are wondering whether this war is to prove constructive or destructive and are looking for God's purpose in i Perhaps it is best ex- emplified the fighting spirit of France that we may practice frater- nity, live in libe and enjoy equality.

J. H. Newland gave a very helpful talk to which the fel- lows listened with the closest atten- tion. He said in part: “I want to talk’to you today about “ideais.” Everything depends wupon the kind of ideals we have in life. Some men have ideals that drag them down, and other men have ideals that lift them up. Our ancestors had ideals that were not as big and broad as ours; at first man cared but for him- self alone; then he began to care for others and he took to himself a mate, and he cared for his family; then he cared for the group, and finally his outlook broadened, and he bhecame vi- tally interested in his country, and pa- triotism was born, and he became a patriot. He at first fought for himself, and as he became unselfish he fought for others as you are now willing to do. At first man acquired property by force, but now he owns property by proper methods, and he has a rigit to it, Finally, man has taken for his ideal, righteousness, and he has come out of selfishness into unselfishness. A man’s* development depénds upon his outlook and his ideals, and his de- velopment is unlimited if he but has the right conception of life.” The musical programme was made very attractive by the singing of so- los by Miss Mary*Gray who was ac- companied by Miss Olive Riley. Al Craig Taylor rendered solos and led the singing in a very acceptable man- ner. This “get together” was one of the best thus far. After the address the ladies of the Trinity Methodist church served the entire company a substantial lunch which was greatly relished and grate- fully received. certainly Hears from Son in France, Policeman Patrick Murphy has re- ceived a letter from his son, James M.
