England, Mr.. Grace shows has FIVE
armor-making concerns, all privately
owned. The English government does
not advertise for bids, They bring in
to consultation their armor-plate
manufacturers, go over the situation
with them, and agree upon what is q
satisfactory price. There are two
plants in Germany, Krupps and one
other, and their business Is nego-
tiated in the same way. They send
for the manufacturer and adjust fair
price, on the basis of getting a rea-
sonable product and keeping them in
business. France has three plants;
Russia, two plants. Japan is the only
country using armor that has it's own
government plant. There is no pri-
vate capital invested in Japan in
armor-plate works. The inference is
that Japanese private capital would
not invest in the industry. 1t is ap-
parent that nearly all other govern
ments now engaged in the war have
adopted a policy which the United
States may abandon, and that five i'm
portant naval powers-Japan, Aus
tria, Germany, France and England
are all paying a substantially higher
price for armor than the United States.
And yet, in the face of these facts
and figures, and the offer to permit
United States government experts TO
set their own figure for armor- plate,
after careful examination of the
company's books and methods, there
are those at Washington who still in
sist on spending millions of dollars
on an experimental armor-plate plant
that may or may not prove success
full.

is no use spending any more money in
the effort to make the park strip and

OF this newspaper has been called to the
fact that yesterday girls and boys were

1--WE find little comfort in election
statistics" said Southern Democratic
Congressman. recently. as qroted by
Washington correspondent. II sat
down in my office few nights ago and
looked over the vote of 1914 and found
there are about forty districts In the
United States where a change of 1000
votes would shift the House to as
strongly Republican as It is to-day
Democratic. 1 do not think we are as
strong politically before the voters as
we were two years ago. The Republi-
can party is again united in nearly all
of the States. and 1 am frank to say
that our chances of controlling the
lower branch of Congress are not very
promising" This is a frank acknowl-
edgment OF a self-evident fact from a
source not unusually given to admitting
self-evident conditions of that nature.

WHITE WAY FOR HOLIDAYS.
Manager AtWater Uses Persuasive
 Powers on General Electric Go.

Word was received by the United Electric Light and Water company last Friday from the General Electric company, which has the contract to furnish the rectifiers for the White Way lighting that owing to slow de- livery of raw material they would not be able to make shipment of the ap- paratus until December 18th. Ship ment at that late date meant that it would not be received in time to get the lamps in operation before Christ mas. Realizing that this would be a big disappointm to the merchants, Superintendent Atwater of the Light ing company yesterday made a trip to the General Electric companys fac tory at Lynn to see if he could make some arrangements to get a prompter shipment. He reports that he was successful in getting part of the ship ment early Thursday morning.
 It was only after MT. Atwater ex- plained to the officials of the G. E. company the keen disappointment that would be felt in the city by failure to light the White Way before Christmas that he succeeded in getting them to give the rectifier precedence over other work and order work on it night and day so that 1t could be shipped Thursday morning.
 Owing to a freight embargo on the Boston and Maine the rectifier will be put on an auto truck and sent to Boston, where it will be put on a through New Britain freight car. Just as soon as delivery is made at the freight depot in Boston the Chamber of Commerce will see that the New ! Haven road follows the shipment un- til received in New Britain.

WOMEN SUFFERERS
 NEED SWAMP ROOT

Thousands upon thousands Of Wo- men have kidney and bladder trouble and never suspect it.
 Womens complaints often prove to be nothing else but kidney trouble, or the result of kidney or bladder dis ease
 If the kidneys are not in healthy condition, they may cause the other organs to become diseased.
 You may suffer a great deal with pain in the back, headache, loss of ambition, nervousness and may be despondent and irritable.
 Don't delay starting treatment. Dr. Kflmer's Swamp-Root, a physicians s prescription, obtained at any drug store. restores health to the kidneys and is just the remedy needed to over- come such conditions.
 Get a fifty cent or one dollar bottle immediately from any drug store.
 However, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co.,, Binghamton, N. Y, for a sample bottle. When writ ing be sure and mention the New Bri- tain Daily Herald.

7,362 VISIT MUSEUM
Record Attendance for November
 shown by Figures of Curator

Every day, every week, every month that passes causes the Museum of Natural History and Art at the New Britain Institute to place itself more prominently before the people as an institution of learning. Chill dren flock to the museum to get added information upon matters which they study about in school. From time to time schools %borrow various speci- mems which aid the teachers more clearly to bring certain subjects be- fore their scholars. Very often teachers take classes to the museum and have the curator give short talks and explanations on desired topics. ALSO, Whenever requested, the curator Vlslts schools and addresses classes, illustrating his talks with specimens taken from the museum.
 Ihere are many woman visitors every afternoon and evening and they are among the most enthusiastic call CTS at the institution. An expression very often heard, is: My children learn something every time they visit the museum Some mothers con- fess that they, too, have gained in formation.
 The purpose of the museum is to spread learning, and nobody, young or old, can visit it without becoming better informed upon some subject. Those who toll during the day have the opportunity of going to the mu- scum in the evening, and that this Is appreciated is attested to by the nightly attendance. Few museums in the country have their doors open to the public every night, but if they realized what factor it proves in enllghtening the employed along yari- ous matters they would follow the ex- ample of the New Britain institution.
 During the month of November the museum had 1862 visitors, and when 1t is taken into consideration that the hours of opening are from 2 to 5 o'clock in the afternoon and from to o'clock in the evening, or five hours daily, with the exception of Sundays, and closed on Thanksgiving it will be realized that there were only 25 days in the past month in which people could pay a visit Therefore the total number of visit ors makes a record to be proud of.
 Saturday was big day at the mu- scum, there being present many of the young men who were attending the State Conference of Older Y. M c. A. boys. The total number of persons visiting the museum on Sat urday was 449.

FOR DELINQUENT WOMEN
Police Chief Believes in Need of Pub- lie Institution Being Sought by State Society of Mental Hygiene.

Police Chief William J. Rawlings has been asked his opinion relative to the esta blishment of a state re- formatory for delinquent women. He believes that it is an excellent idea and that the institution would fill a long-felt need. Much better work in his opinion, can be done along this line than by relying upon private in stitutions where there is an age limit, certain cases are barred and state au- thorities have little to say in the man agement.
 EStabliShm of a state institution will be asked for in a bill to be pre- sented at the next legislature. The Connecticut Society of Social Hygiene is behind the movement and has in- terested prominent people throughout the state in it. Dr. Valeria H. Par ker, field secretary of the organiza- tion and well known in New Britain, is presenting the needs of such an in stitution on a lecture tour throughout the state.
