New Commandments

Rev. Albert Marion Hyde, of Brock ton has circulated among the women of his parish Ten Commandments of Convenience, as follows: Thou shalt not marry for a bank account, or even to escape being an old maid. It is better to remain single all thy life than to cutter into the matri- monial state for revenue only. After the marriage thou shalt not put on an old wrapper and leave thy hair on the bureau, and wear slippers run down at the heels.
 Thou shalt not be slave of fashions, making myself a spectacle for the bystanderS on the streets. Furnishing jokes for the funny papers and causing thy husband, father and son to blush for thee It is better to be out of fashion than out of sense.
 Thou shalt not be gossip.
 Thou shalt not be out of sorts when thy neighbor in limousine smiles on ride in car than an automobile with a mortgage on thy home. Some women who have ridden in cars have been happy wives.
 Thou shalt not break down the mo- license laws by serving liquors at par ties. even if thou callest it punch and it gives thee entrance into the best "set.@
 Thou shalt not forget the age of thy children in the street car or in the steam car or the steamboat, or in any other public conveyance, or even to the school teacher and truant officer. The child four years old in a street car, five years old in a steam car and six years old at school will become tangled in dishonesty all his life. Thou shalt not let loose on thy husband. or thy sons, or thy daughters, or thy father, or thy mother on iron ing day, or wash day, or baking day, or even in housekeeping time. If thy tongue is hung in the middle and wags at both ends. thy husband will renfem- Der it is his lodge night and have a great desire to help initiate some new member. Thy sons and daughters will finger long on street corners and thy advertisements for hired help will be in the papers all the time.

During the ensuing few days he was kicked by horse, got the worst of a fist fight. was thrown down three flights of stairs and had his pocketbook containing $7 stolen from him.

SLOGANS AND SLOGANS.

The slogan" question appears to be getting grip on various communities in Connecticut since the Canaan hailing sign, "Get Together; Pull Together, " has become familiar New Haven has just awarded prize of $25 for 8 slogan to go with it's White Way and as dis. tinotive New Haven trademark, after a contest in which two bushels of slogans were submitted. The winner, concocted by a woman, was thls: "Old Films but New Ideas"
 As prize winner. the phrase has been extensively scrutinized, criticised and commented upon. One bright critic-a lady, at that-would amend the slogan to read, "Old Films but New Bugs, and argues that Bug" would be doubly apt, serving not only as synonym of ''Ideas, " but as a cue to why the old elms are be- coming extinct.
 The slogan isn't half bad as a text for a disquisition before local Society for the Propagation of Civic Pride, but as 8 significant. compelling index of New Haven's supreme foremostness in the realm of manufacture, invention or pro- duction it would be as impressive as a Chinese laundry check. What would it signify, for instance, stencilled on the head of barrel of New Haven hams consigned to the Canary Islands? Even our amiable friend Colonel Osborn. who is constrained to faintly approve it, can not resist the temptation to butt in and knock the "but" out, and suggests an- other amendment, so. "Old Elms-New Ideas,' but the dashed thing doesn' t seem to fit anything, even then. "Old Green-New Buns" would be just as pat.
 Bridgeport claims to have the bulge on New Haven in the matter of slogans, but Made in Bridgeport is susceptible of only limited applioation-it wouldn't do, for obvious reasons, on badge or button for personal adornment or dis tinction, while "Old Elms-New Ideas'' would mean as much on a Chicago drum mer's hat band as on the side of a Bow cry huckster's push cart.
 The little new city of Bristol seems to have it on both of them when it comes to slogans that mean something. Here is the Bristol slogan: "Bristol-a good place to work, 8 good place to live, a good place to tradel The Bristol Press puts this up against the other two and asks for judgment.
 In the meantime, fellow citizens, Get Together Pull Together.
