that for some reason or other the leg- islation was not intended to cover their case or else they chafed under the restrictions and were willing to take a chance on getting caught.
 Most regrettable are the instances where they have been caught. not by the inspectors but by the very condi- tions which the laws were intended to prevent but which they were re- terrnined to ignore. Such has resulted in the loss of many lives through in- adequate fire escapes. from the lack of flreproof stairways and from locked doors.
 New York has had many horrible examples of what such defiance of the law as that shown at the Triangle shirtwaist factory and at the Diamond candy factory in Williamsburg means. It is therefore only what was to be expected when the jury brought in a verdict of guilty against the head of the latter concern. That particular in- stance showed not only disregard for the safety laws but it revealed the fact that the proprietor was not forced to live up to the requirements. He had full opportunity to understand what his policy might lead to from previous fires but he paid no atten- ton. How many will disregard the lesson which Is being taught in his case?

BRITISH MORE wArcHFuL

Whether or not the German war ships were attempting to make anoth- CT attack upon the British coast, or whether they were simply moving out of Zeebrugge because of the ice as it has been stated. it is apparent that they were being watched by the Eng fish navy. The full details of the ac- ton are not available. Certain re- ports give the impression that but little of the whole story is allowed to get out. There was a loss of ships and men but the full extent of 1t is not known, for while the British ad- init the loss of a destroyer and claim the destruction of a German vessel, the despatches from Holland give the impression that there were many more of the German vessels which
 were lost.
 Just what actually took place and just what the losses were will be known in tirae- How long it will take to ob- tain 1t is unknown. but it is apparent that the British have prof1ted from some of their past experiences They have received much criticism because of the fact that enemy vessels have been able. not only to approach the English coast but to make attacks thereon and get away without harm mnd without being molested. In fact It has been claimed that they were mot seen except by certain small pa tro1 vessels which were powerless to obstruct- This has caused much ela,- ton to the Germans and no little dis comfort to the British, their claim to a strict blockade and to being mistress of the sea. but if the latest naval action is rightly judged a different policy is being followed and the German fleet which attempts to come out from nnder cover in the future will encount- MT stiff opposition.

CHILD LABOR DAY

Next Sunday is Child Labor day. It will be observed in the churches throughout the land at that time. It will receive attention in the, syna- gogues on Saturday and in the schools, clubs, cofletses and other organizations spread interest in the subject there is no reason why there should be any lack of attention this year.
 It is recognized that much has been done by the federal law which has been enacted. but it must also be understood that this does not by any means solve the whole problem. It takes care of certain phases of it, but when it is estimated that there are 1850, 900 children who are not reach ed by that legislation, it is evident that the time has not arrived when there can be any letting up in the eff forts which are put forth in behalf of children who are forced to work at an improper age and consequently denied the advantages of a common school education.
 There can be no question but what the added attention which is directed to this cause by the observance of Child Labor day serves to- not only maintain the interest at the proper degrees but it cannot fail to increase it. It is one of the. highly important matters which should not be neglected. Children in all states are entitled to like advantages in so far as they can be provided and when 1t comes to drawing the line between work at an early age and education which will better 1t them to meet the problems of life as they arise, the latter should not be overlooked. It is an effort in behalf of better citizenship which de- serves universal support.

DELAYED AUTO NUMBER PLATES

Not a little trouble is experienced every year by the secretary of states office in securing the number plates for the automobiles so that they can be delivered to the applicants within the time when it is prescribed that they must be displayed in order to prevent prosecution. In the past, in order to overcome this deficiency, the privilege to use the old markers or temporary ones until the new ones can be provided has been given. This made it evident that there was no in- tention of violating the law. that the proper application for a new marker had been made. that the fault was with the states official and not the new plate could be provided 1t would be used.
 This was supposed to be sufficient protection for the auto owner in tid- ing over the period between the time when his old marker expired and when the new one could be delivered to him, and it was undoubtedly adopted because it was recognized that it would be unfair to force an owner to keep his machine out of com-
 mission when he was in no way to blame for the trouble. But when a prominent resident of the state is brought into court and made to pay the costs of court, though no fine was imposed, 1t was disclosed that the state secretary had given him permis- sion to use the old number plate un- til the new one was delivered, it is time that attention was given to this situation so that such humiliation and unjust expense can be avoided in the future. It seems also that it would be only proper under the circumstances that in such cases as this that if there is any costs to be paid that they should be met by the state secretary's office and not by an innocent auto owner.

PROBATE JUDGES

A matter which was considered worthy of discussion at the recent meeting of the State Bar association was the idea advanced by Judge Marvin of Hartford for the making of the term of office of judges of pro- bate in this state eight years. This is in accord with the effort which has been carried on with such good suc- cess throughout Connecticut for a number of years to keep this office as free from politics as possible. There are many probate districts where both parties endorse the holder of office when it is evident that he is perform ing the duties in an efficient and faith ful manner when he Is conducting the affairs of his office without regard to politics and when he is giving his careful and conscientious attention to the work at hand.
 The Importance of having an expe- r1enced administration Of a probate 5udgeship cannot be overlooked and as Judge Marvin said if they were elected for a long term, and were not required to devote part of their time to building political fences and to pre- parIng for elections they could do bet ter work and would be less hampered in their decisions. Where considera- ton is given to efficiency and not to political affiliations in the selection of probate judges. there is perhaps no need for a change. but that should prevail in every district and 1t is pos- Eible that it would result to the great CT good of 6 greater number if the eight year period In office was adopt ed The only drawback to such a plan would be the fact that should it happen that an inefficient judge was elected for such a term it would inn nr &ed far T2,rf whether the Iengthening of the term is approved or not, politics in con- nection with the office should be elim- mated in favor of efficiency,

NEW BOOKS
Oh,r Mary, Be Careful, by George Wes- ton. 12 mo-, illustrated. Publish ed by J. B. Lippincott Co.,, Phila- delphia- Price $1.

An entertaining book with a queer title; but Mary was not to blame for the title, for that came from Aunt My ra's will. This eccentric person left a book entitled Why Mary Shouldn't Marry, which in essence told Mary that First, you'll never find a man who is pure in heart; second, you'll never find a man who isn't a natural born tyrant; third, you'll never find a man whose love is superior to his appetite" In addition, she left three tests to try upon any man who happened to tempt her nieceI The poor lady was buried deep and properly, but her will and that book seemed to keep her cack1ing voice alive and shouting: "Oh, Mary, Be Carefu1.''
 Mary did not imbfbe her aunt's prejudices; neither did she assert her private opinion; but she lived all the charm and suitability she possessed. Mary did not shrink from trying the tests, for she was careful; and with her graces and tact she proceeded to verify her own opinions.
 It is a delightful story because Mary was always sensible, witty and sweet; hence, it is worth ones while to pos sess the story and read it.
 The scene is laid in Connecticut and Norwich is not left out You would know the tests and the result-get the book and read the play of life therein portrayed.

Now it is hinted that an automobile commission may be appointed to take over supervision of autos in Connecti- cut. It is planned to have commits sion similar to the old railroad com mission idea. That should be sufficient to kill the measure before it reaches a stage of consideration. The fact that the automobile is part of the general makeup of business of every stage of the present day should bring people to a realizing sense.

we have no doubt of the wisdom of it. Not only is the Connecticut county form of government archaic, but it is undemocratic. It is nothing more nor less than a partisan machine for the county responsibilities incidental. The bill which seeks the desired end is well drawn and worthy of the SUD- port of the general assembly. We fear, however, that it's introduction will in- terfere with the constant devotion to duty on the part of the 24 county commissioners. When the constitu- tional convention suggested providing for the election of the commissioners by vote of the people, the delegates to the convention were afforded the opportunity at once of meeting all of the commissioners in office, not once, but frequently, and until the proposed measure of reform had met it's death.

OTHER VIEW POINTS

Action taken by the State Bar asso- ciation in appointing committee to prepare and present to the general aS- sembly a bill providing that the gov ernor shall nominate judges of city courts in this state has the cordial approval of a great number of the people.
 The governor approves of the prop osition, the speaker of the house ap- proves of it, the senate members of the judiciary committee approve of it and some, perhaps all, of the house members of the committee favor it..
 It is wise legislation too long de- layed. The Times-Leader has advo- cated such change because convinc- ed that public welfare demands it, and both politial cparties and the cause of citizenship generally will be benefited by it.

 The dignity of the courts and of the legal profession will be materially e1e- vated if the bill which the State Bar association has endorsed and many leaders in the general assembly favor becomes a law of the state.

at home on the land. The rifle too, is not unfamiliar, while turret guns and torpedoes are. Hence he becomes soldier and not a sailor when he needs his country's call. But the Navy must know where 1t can obtain it's full quota of reserve officers. It should begin to encourage their training. First of all during the entire course at college the student should be continuously trained for the habit of obedience. One of the best recognized methods is by infantry drill. There should be obtained rifle ranges, drill grounds and maneuver fields Training for soldier should be begun at the bottom of the ladder this training is as necessary for the army, So far the two travel on the as for him that will serve in the man who will enter the naval reserve same road.
 "Form a naval science chair at Yale. Those who elect to be trained for naval reserve officers will study the text books and go to lectures on naval science. The course should be so laid out as not to crowd undu,y upon soldiers time, yet sufficient time should be given to ground the aspirant thoroughly in order that he may be truly useful to his country The most valuable of the students to take the naval science course would be found among those taking scien- tific courses, yet this would not pre- vent an academic scholar from mak- ing the selection. The proof will be in his ability to pass a rigorous ex- animation upon the completion of the college course before a commission in the reserve is handed him.
 For naval reserve officer candi- dates, instead of camp. the practical training during part of the summer vaation should be on board warships detailed for that specific purpose by the Navy department.
 This plan outlined may require much readjustment to suit the condi- tions, but if something of the kind is started and put into willing and com petent hands, and thus held to con- scfentiously, then by the universal rule of "an inch to a day" we shall see the idea grow, gathering enthusi- asm and support as time rolls on, and the student come gradually to ap- preciate the benefits to themselves physically, Intellectually and ethica.lly, and furthermore the country will be benefited for the entrance into it's every day life of many hundreds of Yale men, disciplined alert, self sac rffcing, robut fully capable of an- swering their country's call and with a consciousness of being qualified for service.
