Germans. Maurice Lefort, 9-year-old gamin of the military zone of Paris was found abandoned in a cabin of the zone, his father having been called to arms and his mother having died since his departure.
 The correspondence of this movement is filled with pathos. The sum of $25 gotten together in one of the trenches of the Argonne, two sous at a time was sent to the association as an ex-
 pression of the gratitude of the sol
 diers for the care given to the chil- dren of two of their comrades whose mothers had died since the war began. Tie employees of the Paris munici-
 pal pawn-shop, which Is faniliarly called ma tante" instead of my uncle, sent $40 with the mention that it was for the nephews of ma Tante". Extremes meet in this work-all special and political barriers having been broken down. Judge Durand of l the Court of Appeal of Paris, formerly Judge of the Criminal Court, came to | bring encouragement and donations. | While making his round of the villas, | he was brought face to face with an | old acquaintance.
 It was Charles Yvetot, who formerly
 passed for one of the most redoubt-
 able revolutionists of Paris and whom Judge Durand had occasion to sen- l tence to several years imprisonment
 for revolutionary propaganda. Meet | ing at the door of one of these villas
 around which a dozen or so of the ] little children were playing, there was

OPPORTUNITY EXISTS.

With the still further shutting off of the dye materials from Germany and the prospects that what is on hand and that on the way will last at the most but a short time, 1t is i'm possible to overlook the importance which must be attached to such eff forts as are being made in this coun- try to overcome the situation.
 There has not been and is not now any question but what benzol, which is so necessary in the making of dyes, can be produced in this country. It is the cost of getting this waste from existing products such as coal gas which has caused so much dependence to be placed upon the German output. For the purpose of supplying his own needs and those of other plants Thom- as A. Edison has equipped factory for turning out benzol and it is be- ing made at the rate of two thousand gallons a day. He has been forced into the manufacture of 1t even though the price is higher, concerning which he says: Tt can be easily manufac- tured here, if only steps were taken to protect the infant industry. As it Is the great German firms practically dump 1t over here and woe to any small competitor who gets in their way" The possibilities of the recent ly discovered Rittman process of se- curing benzol from petroleum are ex- cellent, but in either case there exists the need of encouragement. It is not to be expected that any new industry can make headway, following the re- sumption of normal conditions abroad, without legislative action which would give it the proper protection and nour- ishment.
 Even though MT. Edison believes there will be a return to the German | product because of the price, after the | war is over. the opportunity of making l use of waste and building up of an- 1 other industry here is offered.

Stories of the War
Taking Care of the Children.

Six hundred orphans and half-or- Dhans of the war are having the time of their lives In the channel fishing port and resort of Etretat, France. some of them enjoying the luxury of apartments that rent for from $3 a day up in the bathing season. They are sent there by a charitable move ment that has developed practically without organization-simply grown out of individual effort to relieve the anxiety of mothers who have lost their husbands and of husbands at the front who have lost their wives:
 A soldier waiting for the day to join his regiment asked Emil Bitta of the Univerite Populaire in Paris: What are we going to do with our children? We can't leave them alone to become vagabonds in the street. Monsieur Vita thought a moment and then replied simply: tTll take 'em.'' quired the soldier. q don't quite know. replied Monsieur Vita, "but do know there's enough kind hearts to take care of the children of our sol diers. I'm going to bank on that; the rest is only detail.'
 The result justified Monsieur Vitta's confidence. As soon as his work be- came known it's development was rap- | i'd. Everyone wanted to do something and among the more conspicuous were | Madame Emil Zola, Mile, Delcasse daughter of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Monsieur Clemenceau, Sev- crime and other celebrities. The prac- tical details. which are mostly 1T charge of literary men and dramatic artists such as Monsieur Vita, Xavier Privas, the well known song writer and Madame Privas, and Monsieur

FREE HIGH SCHOOLS.

When the importance of education Is considered both from the stand point of the individual and the state, 1t is difficult to understand where any benefit would be contributed through the bill which has been presented to the legislature by George L. Fox call ing for tuition in high schools or through the suggestion along the same line which has been made by Howell Cheney that parents be required to furnish a bond for each high school pupil. which would be forfeited unless that pupil attained a certain percentage sn his duties.
 In both instances the tendency is to discourage high school attendance, when as a matter of fact there are reasons for encouraging it. To a great many such a thing as tuition fee for the high school would offer no objec- tfon, but it would exclude a far great CT number even though small and tend to deny such education to the poor because they are poor, when as a matter of fact they should be given fair opportunity with the rest for de- veloping their intellect
 . It is for the interest and betterment of society in general that free public schools are maintained at all and for the same reason it is necessary that the high schools should be placed upon the same basis. It is of course recog- nized that many among the poorer class would deny themselves and lscratch together. the necessary tuition somehow in order to attend high school, but it is not apparent why this added burden, financial requirement which cannot be equally applied should be imposed, or how it would better conditions. MT. Cheney's plaI might operate most justly, but higt lschool education should remain free

show that professional people can be practical. It is due to them that from a mere temporary relief measure has grown a permanent charitable work that will make it's influence felt for twenty years to come The orphans of the war are now taken in perman- ent charge by the association Or pheiins de la Guerre'' which will edu- cate them, train them for some useful occupation in life and watch over alone. In numerous refuges provided for the purpose in Paris, children newly born whose fathers have fallen on the field of battle. are received with their mothers, and from these collecting stations. as soon as they are in sufficient number, they are for warded here.
 Mothers who refuse to be separated from their children, though unable to give them care that they should have, mothers to several others. Fathers who hesitate to abandon their children permanently are permitted to send them to remain until such time as they come back from the war and wish to reclaim them. Many fathers whose children hae been received here, brought their wills to the association before going to the front leaving their property to be administered by the association for the benefit of the
  | turn.
 Originally they were all housed in one of the large hotels, but further | accommodations were soon needed and | 19 villas have since been placed at the disposition of the society. It is in 1 tended that the children shall grow up | with the same cheerful and healthy | surroundings as if they were in their own families. The children are not only immediately put into the hands of competent teachers put healthy amusements are provided for them, in- l cluding concerts and moving pictures | Even a hot-chetnut man, who had lost his regular city trade in Paris, was | imported.
 | Those who are old enough to begin learning a trade find plenty of oppor- tunity in the differen workshops an6 sewing rooms. The teachers are re- cruited chiefly among the mutilate6 of the war.
 Among the children received in the last arrival was the 6-year-old sor of a soldier in the ranks and whose mother was killed during the bom- bardment of Rheims. Another was the 11-year-old son of a soldier in tht trenches in the north and of a mother who had been taken captive by tht

BEAcHEY PAYS THE PENALTY.

It would have been far better for Lincoln Beachey had he stuck to his determination to give up aviation. After a spectacular career in which he performed all the daredevil tricks that could be imagined with a flying ma chine he became convinced of the dan ger in such performances and an nounced his retirement from aviation. Many prominent airmen had perished as tho result of their own careless ness or by accident and his decision was made with the idea of preventing an untimely end.
 His good resolutions were short lived, however and he became more reckless than ever in doing hair-rais- ing stunts, but like the pitcher that went to the well too often his Sunday performance was one too many, and he paid for his daring with his life.
 Beachey has contributed much to aviation. He was an accomplished driver of aeroplanes, but he was un- willing to conf1ne his efforts solely to the development of the science. The daredevil in him asserted itself and he was not satisfied except when he was thrilling a crowd or furnishing some exhibition which was filled with great danger. Nothing feazed him. else he would not have been so free to put a new machine to such a test It was. however his own folly and uncurbable recklessness which resulted in his death. Perhaps one of the most fortunate things in connection with the regrettable accident is that it did not involve the lives of others.

COUNTRY FIRE PROTECTION.

The time is fast approaching when more of the village and thickly settled communities, if not the towns as a whole, are going to show 0 greater interest in fire protection. That it is perfectly feasible and possible of ex- cellent results to possess apparatus which will do effective work and cover much territory In a short space of time cannot be questioned.
 The demonstration of its advisability lis being furnished almost every day by the calls which are being made upon city fire departments by the country villages threatened with de- struction. Norwich has responded to a number of such calls outside its Him. its and of late New London has sent help to neighboring towns, all of which has been possible because of the au- tomobile fire apparatus. To have fur nished aid with any other part of the departments would have been out of the question.
 Few are the cities of any size which haven't been convinced by the expe- rience of others. or proved to their own satisfaction by experiments of their own, that the motor driven ap- paratus Is the quickest and cheapest and makes possible the best results What it Is constantly doing for the cities it can do for the smaller com munities and it is only reasonable to believe that such a view will be taken & that method of furnishing fire pro- lection in the country. The motor apparatus is fast displacing the horse drawn fire wagons in the cities be- cause greater protection can be fur nished by quicker responses and the same reasons make it of especial value to the small towns.

SWAT THE FLIES,

The time of the year Is fast ap- preaching when there will be general assault upon the fly. Much can be done in the way of preventing disease distribution and aiding sanitation by keeping down the fly. There Is every reason, however, that such be carried out in a manner which will not cause worse results than as if they had been left undisturbed.
 There are various methods of at- tacking the fly. It can be swatted, or trapped; it can be enticed onto sticky flypaper, or it can be despatched by poisons, all of which, together with such steps as can be taken for the elimination of the breeding places, are safe and commendable except that which involves the use of poison. That involves much more than the flies and especially where there are chil- dren it is a danger to be avoided.
 Cases of serious illness from such
Norwich bulletin., 1915-03-16

causes are not infrequent. Of forty seven cases of arsenical poisoning of children reported from fifteen states from July to October, 1914, the chil- dren in thirty -four of them were three years old or less. In thirty seven the children had drunk poisoned water from @ saucer containing fly paper. In eight cases the children were pois- oned by sucking the wicl1s in tin re- ceptac1es containing arsenic. sugar and water. and two others received the poison from a sponge used in poison ous fly destroyers.
 With all the other safe methods of catching and killing flies the danger which is associated with such a method is enough to discourage it's use. The flies should be destroyed, but it should be done. as 1t can be. with safety.

OTHER VIEW POINTS

The action of the city health au- thorities in putting a stop to the prac- tice of throwing waste paper on the public dumps will help to relieve a condition that has become a nuisance in certain parts Of the city. The way loose papers refuse to stay put and adopt the migratory life makes their presence one of the surest known means of making a neighborhood un- sightly.-Bridgeport Standard.
 The value of advertising must be impressing itself upon the mind of MT. Mayo of New Haven. Publicity causes his first wives, or the women who claim to be his wives, to appear to report their claims upon him, which he seems to have avoided by moving ana assuming new ones.-Waterbury American.

 The judiciary committee has re- ported a bill to the legislature of Con- necticut in regard to fortune tellers, which, if passed, is likely to put an
 end to that business in this state.
 This is a good bill although some
 may say that it unnecessary because they do not understand how such fraud is pracHsed by some of those who do business along this line. It Is | astonishing how many people who
 are otherwise sensible will pay money
 to have some one tell her or his for | tune or find lost property or to re-

Althea Bartlett sent me a pretty i picture post card from Rivermarge about fortnight ago and 1t filled me with the desire for @ country outing. So I wrote to Althea to engage room for me at the Rivermarge inn, where she and her mother have been pass ing a few weeks. She replied that she had reserved the only available room, which would be vacant Saturday. Friday afternoon as I was laying out the things 1 wished Cousin Fan nie to press before packing I was called to the telephone to speak to David Robinson.
 How about tennis tomorrow aft ernoon?" he asked. ''Mr.' and Mrs. Hadley will play with us at the Way farer's club and we'll all dine together afterward, if you can go.''
