REFoRMAroRY FOR WOMEN.

From a favorable report by the hu- mane institutions committee to a sim liar report by the appropriations con- nittee upon every question which comes before them may be long way, because the approval of pro- position upon its merits and the loca- ton of funds with which to meet the expenses involves two different points of view. but if the finances of the state will warrant such an expendi- ture during the next two years, there is every reason why the approval of the bill for a state reformatory for women by the first named commit tee should receive the sanction of that on appropriations.
 State finances play an important part at Hartford this year aud many propositions which are deserving are likely to be passed solely for that req son. That Connecticut should have a reformatory for women has long been recognized. It has seen the wisdom of prviding such an institution for the men in realization of the help that can thus be given to a great many as a preventive to becoming hardened criminals. and it Is equally important that similar chance should be given to the women of the state who are included in the list of erring. With such institutions as are available for the reception of those with wrong tendencies unable to meet the situa- tion, the quicker proper provision Is made for the reformation of these who are inclined in the ways of wrong, the better will be the results attained

THE WAR PRIMER By National Geographic Society

Luxemburs-"The tiny, independent State of Luxemburg has been almost lost sight of while Europe Is fighting it's great war. Vast war armies swept over this infant monarchy at the be- ginning of the war, passed beyond, and left 1t all undamaged far behind the battle lines. Luxemburg was in no position to oppose the passage of an Empires forces, and, therefore, quietly submitted to the passage of the Ger man army. Hence it is still the pos sessor of a wel1-developed industry, of smiling fields and meadows, and of a people happy in the security of their young men. When the Kaiser's army corps started by way of this Grand Duchy into France, Luxemburg had a standing army of 200 and about l5o policemen with which to oppose the German endeavor. Such of an army as the Grand Duchess had was above reEroach, we'll drilled, well set-up. Weil-fed, and handsomely uniformed and comparisoned, but it might as well of the sea as to have mobilized in defense of it's neutrality.
 While Luxemberg's army formed such a depressing minority of the States people that 1t was not large enough to do battle with the police it's neighbors, the 99S square miles of the Grand Duchy's territory Is the most fortunate of all the regions in that part of Europe, while the people there have fewer losses to mourn than any population from the Pyrenees to Kam- chatka on the Pacific. Moreover, the standing army Of Luxemburg still Eusters 200 men, 150 police, and not a captain, a colonel or general is miss ing.
 This little monarchy has belonged. at one time or another, to each one of it's surrounding neighbors; 1t has been German, Dutch, French, Austrian and Spanish territory. It is now one of the smallest independent States in the world; ruled by Grand Duchess who is little more than twenty years old and possessed of a Constitution and a House of Representatives. It is an agricultural country, though there are some rich iron deposits within it out of the development of which a thriving iron and steel industry has grown with a production in 1901 valued al SIS, 300, 900. The railroads and customs of Luxemburg are managed by the German Empire. The people speak a German dialect, with an intermixture of French: The total population is fabout 250.0o0."

SOUTH AMERICAN TRADE

Senator Burton is to make a trip through South America. He is going to visit an interesting and growing country and one of the continents with which this country should be in the closest touch. He will learn much which should be of the highest value to the United States and it would be an excellent thing if representatives of the business interests were carry- Ing on a more active campaign for the development of the trade between those countries and tfis.
 It has been a fact for long time that this country buys extensively in that quarter of the globe but fails to balance 1t by @ like amount in return. It is a situation which ought not to exist and if there was ever time for overcoming 1t, it is the present
 Last year we purchased from South America goods to the grand total of t222,o7,076 while our products were sent there to the value of SPA, ,539, ,909, leaving balance of trade in their fa- Vor of $187, ,012. .514.

The board of health must rule that if the jail fails to meet the require ments of Hartford's laws it must be made to do so. regardless of whether ent from other institutions or not. Since the corporation counsel has ruled that the jail is within the jur- isdiction of the health board. the board must apply to the jail the same laws which 1t applies to owners of other private and public buildings. All have to obey the same code. We do not have one law for the county, which maintains a building in Hart ford and another for John Doe who owns a tenement house. The same law covers both cases and that is the only matter with which the board need con- cern itself in deciding if anything is to be done at the jai1.-Hartford Post.
