There was an expression akin to fright in
his face. Finally he looked up abashed

a word of pathos lay in the would-be
jocular remark. a bit of dull red crept
into Harvey's cheeks as he remembered
his former harsh judgment of Estelle

comfortable person she was. One
never had to worry about triffes. He
gave mental thanks that Mrs. Murch-

How lucky you are" sighed Murch-

MEN AND WOMEN JUDGED
BY ONE MORAL STANDARD
Rabbi Simon Urges Greater Re-
strictions on Marriage, and Dis
cusses Damaged Goods"

Declaring himself for a single standard
OF morals for men and women, Rabbi
Simon urged greater restrictions on the
marriage license at meeting of the
Sisterhood of the Eighth Street Temple
yesterday afternoon He described the
play Damaged Goods" and expressed
the belief that people should discuss
hygienic questions with greater freedom.
1T is easier to get a marriage license
than it is to get a chauffeur's or dog
license" he asserted. MANY people of
responsibility do not believe it is proper
to discuss hygienic subjects such as are
treated in the play.

cussed one hygienic question plainly, and
afterward a mother came up to me and
told me that she could not bring her
daughter to church in the future If I We're
to speak again like I had spoken.
This problem needs the cooperation Of
legislation by the state and by the
mother All the state legislation in the
world can accomplish nothing unless it
has the cooperation of mothers. How
long are you going to educate your boys
up to the standard that they must sow

New Maven Road Has No Defense On Dairy
 Company's Petition

The New Haven road presented no arguments before the Public Utilities Commission 1n Hartford yesterday when the hearing was given to the pe- ton of the Mitchell Dairy Go. of this city for improvement in the trans port8tion service between Washington Depot, Conn, and this city.
 The Mitchell people ship large Quan- titles of milk from Washington to this city, daily, the route being over the Shepaug division to Haw1eyville, thence to this city.
 Attorney David S. Day of this city appeared for the dairy, while Attorney B. I. Spock was the railroads repre- sentative. The latter pleaded that he had mo opportunity to prepare for the hearing, hence submitted no. argu- menfs. The Mitchell people seek an order to the company to provide a spe- cia1 car for the transportation of milk at the rate Of $125 per mile per year. It was claimed that the milk car, though scheduled to arrive in Bridge port at 8:3O, was sometimes inaeeessi- ble until midnight.
