What the Other Fellows Say

Ii you can't win the Victoria Cross or the Iron Cross, you may have the Double Cross hung on you, by some con filing friend. .-Meriden Journal
 Waterbury has recently decided, as already noted in this paper, to change irs slogan and instead of Waterbury Has Something on Everybody to. say ''Has Some Thing on Everybody. ' Why split one compound word and leave the other intact? Waterbury Has Some Thing on Every Body. "- Hartford Courant.
 The, supreme court would now seem to have made all kinds of prohibition, but country wide prohibition inipossi- ble. The "wets" won't weep.-New Haven Journal Courier.
 The waste of war is colossal, but losses caught by fire in times of peace give an impressive illumination of the price humanity pays for negligence, carelessness and indifference. The fire losses in the United States for the past year are estimated at S22l, 000- -000. Add tO this the cost of maintaining fire fighting apparatus, organizations and insurance and we have staggering totals. Some day, when, mOue care and intelligence is used ill building con strUction and material. the figures will be considerably reduced-BTistOl Press.
 There is irony in the German sug- geStion that the Lusitamia dispute be referred to the Hague Tribunal. Some how or other that Tribunal doesn't seem to be amounting to much these days. And about the time we got the Lusi- tania case in a state for presentation the Dutch reserves, might be needing the premises as a point of mobiliza- tion.-Hartford Times.
 Dr. Cook is off for climb to the highest peak of the Himalayas and the press report says than an enthusiastic crowd saw him sail from San Fran cisco. Regardless of the opinion one may have of Cook, nobody can under estimate his nerve and his ability to get men to believe in him. At least he is no ordinary person.-Pittstield Eagle.
 So far the war has stopped the influx of Turkish cigarettes, that is the real ones, but it has not affected the Turkish towel supply.-New Haven Union.
 It is evident, from the way the Brit ish are losing ships, that them an be- hind the gun in the Dardanelles is a German and not Turk.-Waterbury Republican.
 A writer in the Yale Almuni Weekly protests against ever singing again Yales best song, Bright College Years" because the air is that of the German national hymn, "The Watch on the Rhine. That's the song where the men rise and take off their hats when they sing, "For God, for country and for Yale" which a Harvard cynic called the most perfect example of anticlimax he ever knew. Perhaps Yale can intern the song for a while and take it out again after the war. Waterbury American.

THOSE NASTY WORMS.

The caterpillar pest is agitating the public mind. and all sorts of suggestions are put forth for the eradication of the disagreeable squirmers. They are seen crawling along the sidewalks. up the sides of houses, across piazzas, and in many cases invading the living rooms. In many places the Boy Scouts are taking steps to annihilate the nuisance, and as the Waterbury American observes, lit seems to be a work peculiarly suited to this organization and one which is well within their ability" This suggestion is offered to Scoutmaster Roy Laffargue, of the Canaan troop. His Scouts might be doing effective and valuable service by organizing expeditions to extelmi- nate these repulsive vermin in cutting off the branches of wild cherry trees on which the nests are fastened, and burn ing them. The American says, of this method of destruction:
 "Death would be quick and sure to the worms if the fire was we'll started to begin with, and no needless suffer ing, which it is the endeavor of the Boy Scout leaders to eliminate in the case of even the smallest and lowest order of creatures in the animal king dom, is involved. The tent caterpillar is very destructive to vegetation, be- sides being disagreeable to have around. and so far the means used to extermi- nate it have not proved very effectpal. "

ITS YOUI

Every little while somebody sends to the editor the subjoined verses, with the suggestion that they be printed in The News as a gentle hint to the leverage citizen" that he must bear his share of the responsibility for what the town is, or isn't. We have already printed the poem twice, but contribu- tors continue to "discover" it as good thing for local application-which it is. Nobody seems to know who is the author of the poem; it appears to be one of those waifs of literature, that becomes current and enjoys wide and instant popularity as striking truth set forth by some obscure versifying genius who hits the nail squarely on the head. It talks straight to the man or woman who is reading it.. The poem:
 eff you want to live in the kind of a
 town
 Like the kind of town you like, You needn't slip your clothes in a grip
 And start on long, long hike. You'll only find what you left behind,
 For there's nothing that's really new. It's a knock at yourself when you
 knock your town.
 It isn't the town-it's you. "Real towns are not made by men
 afraid
 Lest somebody else gets ahead. When everyone works and nobody
 shirks
 You can raise a town from the dead, And if while you make your personal
 stake
 Your neighbor can make one, too. Your town will be what you want to see.
 It isn't the town-it's you"

Editor Pape, of the Waterbury Re- publican, will not have to have his smoking tobacco sent to him at the New Haven jail. The libel suit against him, which was appealed to the court of common pleas from 30 days jail verdict imposed by the Waterbury city court, was thrown out of court by Judge Wolfe, on the ground, in brief, that a conviction on the theory em- braced in that particular allegation of libel, would make criminal practically all reasonable editorial comment and criticism of political candidate, and re- suit in unwarranted abridgement of the liberty of the press. It is, a nota - ble victory for Pape and for honest journalism.

THE NORFOLK FESTIVALS.

In view of what Dr. Arthur Mees
 has done for the Bridgeport Ora.
 torio Society in a few short years,
 it is not difficult to understand
 the remarkable development of the
 Norfolk festivals under his guild
 ance. until they have become a
 world famous institution
 port Farmer.
 Just a moment, neighbor; pr. Arthur Mees is nnquestionably a popu- lar and accomplished factor in the in- dispensable essentials of the successful orchestra work; but Dr. Mees himself will be the last to deny that under the plan of the generous patrons and pro- motors, "the remarkable development of the Norfolk festivals until they have become a world famous institution" is to be credited, in the very largest de- gree, to MT. Richmond P. Paine, whose wonderful skill in training and con- ducting the musical raw material of the Litchfeld County Choral Union-the foundation of the festival events-has been the admiration of the most eminent music masters, composers and performers, at home and abroad. Nor folk is the musical home of the Litch- field County Choral Union. Because it is so, the great musical artists of the world come to Norfolk. The mountain never gees to MahOmet.
 The success of this years concerts has been a repetition of the triumphs of years past. As the Farmer observes, 'sThe' Norfolk musical festivals have won for the little town in the LitchfielC Hills fame that has penetrated into far quarters of the globe" And tha is true. Wherever love of music of tht highest order has an abiding place there the fame of the No: folk festivals il known. And it has come to be true that the highest ambition of the most exalted master of the musical art is tC gain Norfolk recognition and have hi! inspired offspring born in the Music Shed.
 And the marvel of it all and the glory of it all is, that the worlds great masterpieces are brought here, and the worlds great masters come here, fol the sole and exclusive benefit of us, the

The Hartford Courant, concluding { lengthy editorial on "Critics anc Knockers" gives this truthful anc graphic picture of the knocker as WI all know him:
 "The critic who does his best is honest and helpful; his blame is impersonal, his friendship sincere; he 1ejoices in the success of others and is happy in his work and theirs. The knocker is a hypocrite; he lawns before one-and stabs when the back is turned: he cloaks bitter personalities in honeyed words; he is a spy and sneak. Unhappy himself, he grudges happiness and success to others; he grovels in the uncleannesses of life and, seeing the sky only as reflected in the murky pools of his thoughts, all his days are grey and dingy."
