New Britain herald., 1916-05-11

Councilman Curtis thought the board of public safety should have the right of discretion in making ap- pOintments regardless of the fact that the applications had passed the civil service requirements. He conceived that a man might be physically fit for service in the fire and police depart ments and still not posses the neces- sary temperament or judgment to act The only way to test whether a fire men can handle a nozzle or climb a ladder, said MT. Curtis, is to trv him out. The same is true of policemen It is difficult to tell how a man Will act in an emergency until he has been tried The councilman suggested a probationary period of six months
 Councilman Andrews explained his conception of the rules and the system of marking to be followed. He thought the rules should be studied before ac- ton was taken. Alderman McCabe wanted to know why the safety board was so anxious to apOint ten police- nlent and MT. BabcOck said a situation was liable to arise where the extra men would be absolutely necessary. It was finally voted to refer the rules back to the three com mittees so they will be in shape for action next week

PRE- sIDENT PLEADS WITH HEADS

HIGHER FREIGHT RATES

Western Nswspapsr Union News Ssrviee-
Washington. Aug. 23.-Two score
railroad presidents. representing the
greatest railroad systems in the
world. were in conference here Mon
day framing the formal answer they
will make to the proposals advanced
by President Wilson in an effort to
avert a strike that would paralyze the
nation.
The heads Of the great systems
went into secret session after hear
ing an impassioned appeal by the
President Of the United States to
keep the railroads running, not only
in the interests Of this country. but
IN order to meet the demands OF the
entire world
The President reinforced his previ-
Gus argument by pointing out that
the railroads play an important part
in the military preparedness OF the
country md that as they are vital
part of the Industrial framework Of
the nation. 1t is absolutely necessary
to keep them running at the present
time.
Mr. Wilson told the railroad execu-
tives he did not blame them for fight
ing for the principle Of arbitration.
but that he believed under present
circumstances they should accept the
eight-hour day and leave the working
out Of the principle Of arbitration un.
til later.
With all the world depending in a
measure upon the products of the
United States. he said 1t would be
catastrophe for the railway systems
Of this country to be tied up.
The railroad executives did not en-
ter into an argument with the Presi-
dent. but afterward said they were
deeply impressed and would give full
weight to his proposals at their con-
ference.
1t is regarded as probable that the
carriers will yield after committing
the President definitely to an in
crease Of freight rates which will re-
quire the consumers of the country to
foot the bills for the increase in
wages. estimated by the railroads at
$50. 100000 year.

HOME.


The dearest word in the English language, next to that OF
mother, is home.
To the man or woman who, because of circumstances, has
been forced out into the world there always come dark NOM
Ients when memories drift back, caresingly, and cling about the
home of childhood. S.
Some of the homes of childhood are not always happy homes,
but when the wearied heart at last finds happiness, when the
soul rests in peace at home, the very name becomes sacred.
There is nothing so filled with content as the home where
happiness presides. 1t may be a simple one, but a kiss will
sometimes make a humble meal satisfying and sustaining: it
will make a meager repast a banquet.
When man and woman live contentedly together the old
theory OF bread and cheese kisses is no longer a myth.
When God breathed life into the lungs of Adam, and he
awoke IN Eden, to find Eve by his side, even in that earliest
day OF the worlds history, to Adam paradise was home.
10 the good among his descendants home is a paradise
Inc first sure signs of a mind in health is rest of heart and the
pleasures that can be found only at home.
When once we awaken to the real benefits that home af.l
1oros we become convinced that our home lows are the most
comforting that the earth extends. The joy of parents is in
their children, the hottest joy of humanity. 1t makes the lives
OF men and women pure and good; it lifts the parents. in the
eyes OF their children, up to heaven.
When home is ruled according to Gods Word doc,oro,
angels might be asked to stay with Is and thev|
would not find themselves out of their element.
10 the young man and woman who are beginning the hot.
ter part of their life as husband and wife, home becomes. and
should always remain, a resort of joy, of peace and plenty
where supporting and supported, friends and relatives can min
gle as Nature intended.
The strength of a nation is to be found in INTELLIGENT wall
ordered homes.
Yes, nome is the one spot in all the world supremelv b1est
oearer' sWeeter spot than any other that may be found. and if
'ests WIFI us to preserve and keep it such.-Commercia An
