HOLDING BACK THE EGGS.
Hartford Post)

Eggs are luxury principally be- cause of our poor system or disfr1pu- ton. In this country every year s40o. 100000 worth are laid. put or these $66, 100000 are withdrawn into storage houses and when they get to the consumer are anything but fresh In Germany and other countries Whcr the parcels post is in vogue far mer can put a dozen or so eggs in d box and ship them safely to his cus- toner through the mails, thus bring ing about that direct dealing between producer and consumer which Is ad- mitted to be the remedy for 1nordin- ately high prices.
 The storing of surplus eggs in times of plenty for sale when they the public were told frankly just how long the eggs had been stored. In stead, however, the storage product fresh or as much fresher than it real ly is. This is not only true of eggs, but of meat. butter and other staple articles of food.
 might have our private storage plants in which to garner food when it was cheap. to consunue it when it was dear, but if we were rich enough for prices at all. Municipal storage houses, where food is kept to be sold out of season, only the actual expense of maintaining the plant being added to the first cost, have been suggeste d as a remedy. but like most of the sug- gestions along municipal ownership lines is rather more attractive in the ory thrban when considered as an actuality.
 The extent to which the egg crop is with drawn from market to storage houses, however, makes the whole subject of storage an interesting one. One-sixth of the total output-two eggs in every dozen-are held back from the natural channels of distrtbu- ton. Can any business 3uggle thus with it's total production without transferring the cost of it's speculation to its customers?

est paid newspaperman in the world"
 Albert Brisbane, father of Arthur, was one of the pioneer Socialists of attachments. His Social Destiny of Man was long a Socialistic classic. In it he elaborated. for American con sumption the theorieie of Charles Fourier, the father of French Social ism. In the early '4o's Brisbane was connected with the New York Tribune and edited column devoted to the exposition of Fourierisn In 1s4s he established 8 paper called the Pha1anx which was later published at the of the Harbinger. While called a so- cia1ist, Albert Brisbane held theories that bore slight resemblance to the tenets of modern scientific Socialism, sa11e and Bebel.
 Albert Brisbane was educated in the American public schoola. after which and Germany. He began newspaper work thirty years ago today. Dee. F, 1882, as a reporter on the New York Sun He was one of the best report CTS the Sun has ever had. which is saying a great deal, and was soon pro- noted to the post of London eorre- spondsnt. He returned to America to which he conducted with great success.
 Joseph Pulitzer was always on the lookout for promising young men. and tention. He offered salary that the serious and ambitious young journal ist could not resist, and he abandon ed his alma mater to begin his career as a yellow For seven years he held various responsible positions on the World Then William Randolph Hearst broke into the New York news paper field, bought the Journal. and began to gather in all the best news papermen of the metropolis. MT. .Bris- sbane began his service with MT. Hearst fifteen years ago. He orfgi- mated the gigantic scarlet headlines and 8 hundred and one other typo graphical and editorial innovations that made the Journal within 8 few months, the popular paper of Gotham. His editorials were from the first characterized by an extreme eimpli- city of language which placed them within the comprehension of all but the hopelessly illiterate. MT. Brisbane once said:
 "voltaire the greatest writer and fighter, said, we must define our terms The world steps aside for the man who knows where he Is going defining his own terms It steps aside for the fire engine because the engine is on its way to a fire"
 And that's the impression one gets from association with MT. Brisbane he is always on the way to. a fire. And that is all very admirable, very com mendable-but he misses lot of fun

PARENTS, DUTY TO CHILDREN

Parents neglect an important duty when they fail to give the proper at- tention to the whereabouts of their children at night. Conditions are steadily being found which indicates that boys and girls are not being cared for as they should be. making it evident that they are not given the necessary oversight. In the city of New Britain this has resulted in an order by the chief of police to the effect that the boys and girls must be kept off the street at night, and if parents cannot accomplish this the police are going to zee what they can do about it. This of course applies to those who are about the streets for no good purpose, but by their as- sociates and habits fall into ways of evil and vice, and then parents won der that their boys and girls get in- volved wrong doings.
 The neglect of parents is not con fined to New Britain by any means. Every city has reason for urging this much needed reform which the po- lice of New Britain recognize as the best way to check at the start any inclination to wrongdoing. It should not require police orders for parents warned they should exercise the greatest care to see that they do their part. know where their children are and insist that they shall be at home at a certain time. No one better than the police are aware of the need of stricter parental oversight.

it is because the true reward of the Journalist, as Of every public and pro- fessiona1 service, is not pay but op- portunity to serve the public, to ad- vance humanity, to build haa paBfng days of labor into the lasting foun- dations of the future.
 ''The duty of the journalist ia to ex- pose social abuses, to lay bare polin- cal ulcers, and to treat the advanc@ of society as his first duty.

 (Middletown Sum-

journal known as the organ of the American Medical association
 suggests that newspapers suppress the publication of suicides or attempts at suicides It is thought such news is suggestive in its effect, causing others to commit suicide For the same reason the press might suppress ac- tions for divorce, shoplifting, embez- clement of bank funds, arson, stock watering elopernents, the birth of tripIets etc. Carrying out this pol icy, a paper would soon be limited to it's daily supply of news.

ARTHUR BRISBANE. MODERN ATLAS, CELEBRATES 4STH
 BIRTHDAY TODAY

Arthur Brisbane, editor-in-chief of the Hearst newspapers, was born in Buffalo, N T..Dec 12, 1864, and it follows. a little figuring will prove that he is today celebrating his forty eighth birthday. MT. Brisbane has often been described as the highest paid newspaper man in the world '' and his annual salary of $72, 900 prob ably entities him to that distinction
 Certainly I shall not dispute it with him Also, he is probably the most
 serious man in the world. There was once g chap named Atlas who had a steady job of supporting the globe on his shoulders MT. Brisbane Is the modern Atlas There is nothing of the di1ettante about him He is a preacher, an evangelist, who speaks daily to two million Of people, and he takes the responsibility very seriously Perhaps that is why he is thef' high

CHRISTMAS GIFTS OF
 THE MIND AND HEART

Nearly 20 cycles have rolled away h the scroll of time since the Great Apostle of Christianity, on the first Christmas. was born into this world In the IowIy environment of a stable z3 Bethlehem. Legions of frail hu- raanity have passed away since that sz1ouentous date. leaving naught of individual accomplishment to live be -yond their own time. Yet the spirit of Christmas Is stronger throughout the world today than ever before The merry voices of children. the kindly exchanges Of good wishes of the grown-ups, the beamfng faces of the grand parents. in every part of the world, tell of the imperishable in- fluence for good left by the Holy In rant
 Even now the spirit of the feast is with holiday splendor. The old and the young, rich and poor. are imbued with the blessed atmosphere that has been growing down the centuries, and
  cakes on a more kindly countenance and smiles away Gull care
 This Is the season for gifts. the time for renewal of old friendships. for the banishing of discontent and of evil dispositions It is the annue1 pertoa of unalloyed happiness. The masters word to the pupil. the em- pSoyer,s order to the toiler. even the sentence Of the judge to the prisoner. is tempered with humane considera- tiOn
 In the light of the yule log the smiles of the family circle are ill11m- fned with unwonted tenderness. The przttle of. the babe is sweeter. the mothers kiss is even fonder than at any other time of the year, for is it not the feast of Him whose infinite love for frail humanity led Him, God of the Universe, to garb Himself in human clay, to endure the privataons of poverty, that He might gIorify un- selfishness?
 There is more to Christmas than the mere exchange of gifts. That is but an incident-a very pleasant inci- dent it is true. yet none the less a mere sidelight-of the glorious warmth of human friendship that has come to symbolic the advent of the feast. The optimistic spirit of Christmas is the buoyant hope of the Respondent,
 
 against strong tides of diversity.

OVER-ZEALOUS FRIENDS
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX

i have not so many friends that ]
shall grow confused among the number
and forget my best Nicholas
Nickleby.
" His is the season when every girl
who has the inheritance Nature
planned for her is interested in
a flower garden.
1t may be nothing more pretentious
than a window box. Or it NAV be a
round, little bed in corner OF a tiny
yard, or 1t may be as much ground as
she likes.
But whatever the size of her garden. /
am sure that Nature, the most devoted
OF all teachers, has taught her that she
must not attempt to grow too many
plants in a limited space.
/ Ii she makes that blunder she has no
flowers, for the fight of space becomes
fight for life, and everv plant dies. If
any survive, 1t is those OF rank growth
and for which she cares the least.

Few Friends a Help.
A girl cannot have a large number
of friends and be a good friend to all of
them The yerv difference in their tenn
peraments fOrbids it.
A few friends are a help. Many
friends become hindrance. In trying to
be kind to so many she is not Kind to
herself.
With this friend pulling this wav and
another friend pulling that way she gets
the feeling that she is being pulled to
pieces. What she may prefer can never
be considered if her aim has been popu-
larity. And I take it it has. or she
would not be the bosom friend of every
girl she meets.
What she does to please one friend is
the thing that displeases another.
In trying to be a friend to all she gets
the name of being hypocrite. And to
be a friend to all she has found it neees-
sary to so conduct herself that the
charge is not wholly without foundation.
When she falls in love. some of this
army of friends approve and some dis
approve. The former urge the match:
the latter come to her with tales and
gossip and discourage it
