that it might be comforting to us, helpful to society at large, and sOoth- ing to these mon themselves, to sum- mon the police limousine and afford them a quiet nap for a few hours, but We always refrain because someone might gain the fatal impression that we harshly invoke police force against harmless ne'er-do wells. Only pass ersby who hear the profanity perco- lating through the walls during such interviews, can realize how forbear1ng we really must be!
 Many of these knights of the road request clothing and we supply 1t ac- cording to the degree of intoxication CT the urgency of their need. We take the precaution, however, to have them leave with us the tattered garments or the pulpy shoes for which they seek better substitutes, and often find that their pleas die away when they find that after all they won't have an
 extra pair of shoes to trade off to the
 second hand man for a dime or two! Distribute Clothing.
 The second hand clothing question is a large one. Long since we
 conferred with Dr. Rocks of the health board concerning it, with the result
 that it has become our policy to dis Dense all clean and useful garments within few hours after they are
 brought to us. They are given us for | distribution and nothing is gained by keeping them crowded on our shelves | for any length of time. Sunlight, soap and water are prime aids in lnSurlng | safe use of them, and a few pOstals | sent out to those specially in need of | such garments IS we have on hand,
 cause them to vanish away into a sec
 ond term of usefulness as fast as they | come in. This dispensing of hundreds
 of garments and scores Of pairs of
 shoes naturally takes time but it fills | a real need and we are anxious to do
 anything that will assist the people
 we are meant to serve. We only re- ] gret that we have no means of send | ing after the bundles of clothing that l are offered us by people who cam ot | get to our office with them. If the value could be accurately computed | ;n dollars and cents, we should be inn | pressed with the importance of this | clothing question, although our 1 shelves usually show a paucity of gar | 1nents.
 Clothing was given to sixty-fve dur | ing the past three months, ranging all the way from a pair Of shoes for a homeless man, to a complete outfit, or for some mothers of large families to a pile that had to be carried away in installments. At present our spe- cial need is for a great deal of cloth ing suitable for making over or for immediate wear, by all the children
 who will be attending school in a few weeks.
 This summer again we have had
 many garden flowers brought us to be
 given away. Without waxing in the
 least sentim ental about them, it really
 has been remarkable how much pleas
 ure these gifts of a flower or two have
 brought. This has been equally true

 iellies sent to Us to pass on. We con

The report of Miss Elsie c. Osborn, agent of the New Britain Charity or eanization, presented to the directors last evening" contains some interest ing facts regarding the social and eco- nomic conditions in this city. It is herewith printed:

WAR INSANITY.

The prolonged Verdun battle, like
other phases of the great war. has be-
come an old story. We are no longer

mathematical We make a sort Of
academic reckoning Of It, as SO much

according as the report suits our par
tisan sympathies, and then forget It.
But here is what is actually hap
pening at verdun, as told by Fre-sn
captain:

WHY ADVERTISING IS READ.

One OF the foundation principles OF
successful newspaper work Is that the
closer anything comes home to the
personal affairs Of the reader, the
more interest 1t excites. An item
about the business interests Of a
neighbor is likely to be read with
more attention than report of some
fateful disaster many miles away, af-
fecting communities and people of
which no one knows anything.
This gives one an idea why II is
that advertisements are always read
with such attentive interest. They

FRENCH ACADEMY
MAY ELECT BRAND
Royalist Organ Discreetly
Proposes Statesman for
Chair Among Forty
Immortals"

Paris, October 1-(Correspondenec of
the Associated Press. ARTHUR Meyer,
director of the royalist organ, the Gau-
lois, proposes discreetly, almost anony-
mousy, yet Enthusiastically, the candidacy
of Aristide BRAND for one of the vacant
seats in the French academy striking
demonstration of the force of the "sa-
cred union'' and a good example of the
mastery BRAND has gained over the
French people.
Arthur Meyer, Catholic and royalist, ed
itor of the Gaulois, proposing for the
supreme honor of a chair among the
forty immortals Aristide BRAND, author
of the separation of church and state,
who evolved from the most extreme So
cialistic circles, and is still hopelessly
distant from monarchic or reactionary
principles, is something Parisians never,
before the war, would have classed
among the possibilities.
Death has been cruel to the academy
NJ Meyer says, reviewing it's history
during the first two years of the war.
Jules Lemaitre departed on the morrow
of the declaration of war; Comte de Nun,
who had time to sound the charge in I'M
forgetable articles; Mezieres, Paul Her.
vier, Francis Charmes Emile FAUCET, the
Marquis de Segur, will not see the prom
ised land; that is, the reconquered
land: Seven empty chairs. The names
of the candidates to occupy them are
known. l shall carefully avoid predicting
the choice that shall be made, but shall
be astonished if there are not seats re-
served to the generals that shall have
won the expected victory and to the
statesman that shall have prepared that
victory"
In his article on Paris as it is seen
today, M. Meyer devotes several para
graphs to different academicians, includ-
ing the President of the republic, and to
the decrease in his popularity during the
war.
IT am unaware whether our politicians
have such curiosities,' says M. Meyer,
but at every important event l hasten
to note for their benefit some observa-
tons that I have made. AT the cinema,
for instance, the spectator applauds or
remains quiet; he never protests. Occa-
sionally he laughs, and have seen some
who wept. The patriotic or military
films encounter always the same success.
The flag-all the flags-are saluted with
enthusiasm. l know some personages
who have retained all the favor of the
public and for whom it will continue to
grow. They are, in the first place, the
sovereignS of the allied countries and our
illustrous general-in-chief, followed by all
the great generals, all the great sailors
of the entente.
1.-THE apparition of M. Poincare on the
screen on his return from the voyage to
Russia provoked a triple round of APP
plause. Since his departure for Bordeaux
and up to these later days, have thought
noticed a certain reaction in the senti-
ment of the spectator.
During the first month of the year
1916 I was received at the Elysee and
the conversation turned upon popularity

College Woman in India

Helen Barrett Montgomery in World
Outlook.
The day of the college woman has
already come in India. She is me-
cessity. therefore she had to be- il
spite of superhuman difficulties. Girls
schools are multiplying. their grade is
rising, the demand for properly quail
flied teachers is acute. since Indian
customs put special emphasis on the
idea that the teachers in girls board
ing schools ought to be women.
Women are permitted to matriculate
at any of the five government univer-
stiles of India on the same terms as
men. The practical obstacles and dan
gers in the way of their doing this are
almost insurmountable. The fact thai
Indian women have been brave enough
to endure the active and often bitter
opposition of men and petty and hui
initiating prosecutions. is the highest
possible tribute to their courage and
ability.
Centuries of seclusion and subordin-
alton have left their marks. so that il
is not without great moral peril to
herself that an Indian woman begins
her studies in the university. Many
parents favorable to the education OF
theif daughters cannot take this risk

Hence. in 1914. when I was in India,
there were. out of a population of Co.
100000. only 1913 women students in
the University of Madras. the only
university in south India.
The influence of Christianity on the
status of women is indicated by the
fact that almost a hundred of these
students were Christian. though Chris
tians certainly do not form more than
one-sixtieth of the population, and are
for the most part drawn from the de-
pressed classes.
The realization of the great need for
a college for women embodying the
best traditions and of positive Chris
tian character has resulted in the
founding of union Christian collegs
for women in Madras. In it's founding
more than 10 denominations of British
and American Christians united.
