Just as the women have succeeded in justifying their short skirts on the grounds that they're artistic, Conven- tent, comfortable, healthful and moral it is announced by fashions courtiers that skirts are going to be long again Most of them, it appears, are to be brought down to within six inches of the ground. The extreme styles for house and evening wear will actually drag, in the good old way, brushing up any floors or walks that haven't been otherwise properly swept. Why this abOut-faCe? Goodness knows. Certainly men can't get glinmering of a solution for the mystery. Some vague, unknown power called Fash ion" has issued it's ornnipotent and in scrUtabIe decree, and that settles it. Skirts will be longer. Then the women will be defending them, just as they have defended short skirts on the grounds that they're artistic, conven- tent, comfortable, heaIthfuI and moral. Men, of course, are always sensible and consistent about their cIothes.- Waterbury Republican.

THE CALIFoRNiA TRcuRLE.

Efforts are being made to create the impression that the local trouble be- tween the republicans and progress sivea in California has grown from the proportions of a lolehiu to a mountain. Those who would profit from such a break and it's extension beyond the limits of that state are losing no time nor opportunity in mag nifying it. The situation is much the same in character as when the pro- gressive party was actually fighting for control By it's very existence it was recognized by the democrats that their prospects of success were in creased and in 1912 it worked out just as they anticipated. The bigger the hole that could be made in the re- publican ranks the better was the chance of the democrats, and ever since that time there has been en- courG cement lent by the democratic leaders and press to keep the progress sives in the field. As a democratic aid society that party was huge sue cess.
 The same tactics are being used in the case of the California parties The break there has not healed as thor Ou"hIy as it has in other states but 1t IS improving. There are some sore spots but they are by no means dan gerOUs. They are not directed against the candidate of the republican party and there is every reason to believe that California will show handsome majority for MT. Hughes. The error Of throwing assistance to the demo- crats has been too thoroughly recog- nized in past experiments and Califor- mia appreciates that as well as the other states.

Conditions here do not at present in anyway approximate an epidemic and they may not do so, but we should not lose sight of their serious ness or neglect any precautions. Even the little city of Bristol has deemed it wise to establish an absolute quar- antine against incoming children under 16 years of age and to detail uniformed officers to meet all trains, trolley cars and automobiles to head off possible cases. It may not be necessary for this city to forbid entry of children under 16, but we certainly should have an inspection service that will enable the Board of Health to keep it's eye on every child brought into this city and to isolate it the minute such a step becomes necessary. - Hartford Post

those desperate battles against Rome which gave rise to the familiar phrase,
 "a lpyrrhic victory" used today to describe a conflict the successful issue of which is so costly to the victor as ultimately to prove disastrous. It was after HeracIea, where for the first time in history Greeks and Romans were the opposing forces. that Pyrrhus, survey ing the field where thousands of his bravest troops lay dead, exclaimed, '.Another such victory and must re-

sIDErRAcKINe RESPIRATION.

The attention of the country con- tinues to be centered upon the adjust ment of the trouble between the rail roads and their employees. It has req son to expect much of the effort which is being made by the president. It demands that there be no strike be- cause it knows just what hardships would follow such an interruption of transportation.
 Just how much progress the presi- dent is making in his endeavor to ad- just the trouble is uncertain and there is question as to just how much ap- provaI he is getting for the course which he is pursuing, for as the Phil adeIphia Ledger declares Tt can hard lv be said that he has acted as a me dtator He has accepted the essential part of the demands of the brother hoods as constituting a sine qua non, and has demanded that it be removed from the sphere of arbitration. He has undertak ken to demonstrate the possibility of what is said by the railways to be impossible Such an attitude as this can be justified only in the event It is true, of course, that a strike should be averted at any cost. Economic conditions apart, the railways as the president points out are factors in the national defense. But this argument bears equally upon the managers and the men; the na- tion is imperiled whichever side Ob- stinately refuses to yield"
 l. is therefore unfortunate that the president, claiming as he does to be a strong advocate If arbitration should overlook that important principle on the most vital point of the dispute. Arbitration calls for a sacrifice by neither side but for an adjustment of inc disputed points according to the facts and thct certainly is reasonable.

INFLUENCE OF THE MOVIES.

Say" said the young man with the insipient black mustache, resting his elbows on the arms of the uncomfort- able chair in which he sat and making an unsuccessful effort to anchor him self on the peak of the shiny black leather seat. q was to a swell pitcher show last night"
 The young woman, who had slid into corner of a similar chair, crossed her feet and continued examining her dainty fngernaiIs.
 'Fhat so?" she inquired with langufd interest. T don't go to pitcher shows very much myself. I guess I ain't been to one for moren' Q week.
 Well, you'd ought to a seen this one" continued the young man eager ly. Tt was a peach, all right-al about a fellow and a girl, and, gee, she was a beach, all right, and the fellow was crazy about the girl and the girl wasn't crazy about the fellow until pretty near the end, but then she was And so they got married and went to live in the sweIlest little bung
 "Geey' said the girl, putting her fingers across her mouth, and yawn- ing ejabOrateIy. 'I don't wonder you was crazy about it."
 The young man reddened slightly.
 Well, of course, I know it don't sound like much of anything the way tell it." he said, looking crestfallen. T always was Q natural born dub to tell things and get the punch in. It was great just the same" he concluded dOggcdly.
 T don't know as anybody said it wasn't" said the girl. There was few minutes silence. Then she con tinued:
 Say. will you excuse me a minute ?' she said. T want. to go out in the dining room and phone Will Riley. I promised I'd call him up right after supper and here 1t is twenty after 8 and I never thought a word about it until just this minute and I'm afraid he'll think it's awful funny! You won't mind if go out and do it now, will you?"
 The young mans backbone straight ened
 Sure not!" he said. Don't let me being here prevent you calling up any of your gentlemen friends. I wouldn't a butted in at all if I'd known you was expecting another fellow
 The girl smiled brightly.
 Who said l was expecting another fellOW?" she Queried. Cant I say I was going to call lip a gentleman friend of mine without you feeling you got to pass q remark like that?"
 T don't know as you could call it passing a remark" said the young fellow, stifiy. Then with a palpabIe effort to appear indifferent, he added: Al l said was don't let me being here interfere with any of your plans in any way. Go to itI"

The parking of automobiles on Main street in this city is one of the chief topics of conversation. The common council has passed an ordinance linn iting the time that automobiles can stand on the principal streets of the city. It seems that it will work hard ships to many of the autoists as they are not allowed to stand long enough to transact business. Another disad- vantage is that there are few side streets where the cars can be left The ordinance will be put into effect very shortly and if it does not work out successfully some changes will have to be made when the council meets next month.-New Britain Rec ord.

OTHER VIEW POINTS

If the men 1,l the employ of the trol- ley lines in New York had been wise they would have elected to make their second fight on some other point than the reinstatement of men, who had been convicted in court for violence and violation of the law. Such men are not fit to be employed by any de- cent corporation. President Shonts did well to fire them and no arbitra- tion committee would even consider their reinstatement unless it could be proven that they were unjustly con victed. The agreement to take back all men without prejudice was Of nals.--AnsOnia Sentinel
