TWO KINDS

There two kinds Of people earth today;
just two kinds of people, no more, say.
Not the sinner and saint, for It's well understood
The good are half bad and the bad are half good
Not the rich and the poor, for TO count mans wealth.
first know the state Of his conscience and health
Not the humble and proud, for in life's little span,
Who puts vain airs is not counted man.
Not the happy and sad, for the swift flying years
Bring each man his laughter and each man his tears
No, the two kinds of people earth that mean
Are the people who lift and the people who lean.
Wherever you go you will find the worlds masses
Are always divided in just these two classes;
And oddly enough you will find too, ween.
There is only litter to twenty who lean.
In which class you? Are you easing the load
OF Overtaxed lifters who toll down the roadf
Or are you a eaner who lets others bear
Your portion Of labor and worry and care?

James White, charged with theft,

ding. Johnson testified that the coat
was stolen from him on Tuesday and
recognized 1t on White, who stopped
him yesterday begging money. White

tube. but saw q man hiding it in a
church yard and was curious to see
what it was.
Edward McClafferty, one-legged

Jail each on two counts Of drunken
ness and vagrancy. Bruno Karas

approximately correct, the allotment
would be 1856. But remember the
credits due to this city for the local
enlistments in various branches of the
service have not been deducted from
either of the above quotas.
New Britain has been given 327
credits, or in other, words, her sons to
the number of 327 have enlisted, &C.
cording to the statistician Deductine
the number of credits given to this
city, from the allotment obtained by
using 1882 as the aggregate popu-
lation, and two-thirds of one per cent
as the conscriptive rate, 1876 remains.
Substituting $4,000 as the population
instead of 76,942, the figure SO mus,
obtain. Yet in lieu of these facts New
Britain has been called upon to fur
nish 613 men.
Viewing it from another angle, it is
known that local young men have en-
listed with different units outside the
city, and it is thought that New Brit
ain has no official recognition of the
enlistments in her credit column.
Measures should be taken that these
men can be accounted for and the
credit placed where it properly be-
longs. With the prescribed allotment
for this city as it stands, New Britain
would have to furnish two-thirds as
many men as the whole state Of Ore
gon.
Citizens of this city feel that they
are being imposed upon and will
maintain that feeling until the truth
is known and something definite is
published as to how the quota for
this city was computated. f.-.

Mayor Ready to Announce Names Of
Four-Minutc Takers For City.

The present week is organization
week for the 'four-minute men"
throughout the country and as soon
as Mayor Quigley receives his official
appointment from Washington he will
name several such men here. Next
week their work will begin. T.,
This is a new publicity scheme of
the administration. In every town
and city where there are moving pic
ture houses prominent citizens who
are able takers will be asked to make
four minute speeches on topics Of ma
aional importance. The material will
be furnished by Washington and in
connection with these talks moving
picture slides will be used. The rules
are very strict and limit each talker
to four minutes between reels In order
that the audience may not become
wearied of long harangue. 90

LESTER MAKES GOOD
MOTOR CAR RECORD
Local Automobile man Drives Ma
chine 800 Miles Over Jacobs
Ladder and Mohawk Trail.

M. Irving Jester, local agent for,
the Saxon Motor Car corporation, was
one of the 625 dealers throughout the
country who entered machines in the
third annual economy run, staged
under the direction of the corpora
ton yesterday. The run was over a
800 mile route. From the records
made Mr.. Jester thinks his economy
percentage will rank with the BEST
since he obtained better than twenty
one miles to the gallon of gasoline
for the entire route. The oil con-
sumption averaged one quart to every
100 miles.
With Mr.. Jester were his sons,
Heber I. and Frank Jester and
Herald man, who accompanied him
as a disinterested observer. Starting
from his home on Stanley street at 5,
o'clock, Mr.. Jester had returned
home, completing 800 miles Of actual
running, at 8 o'clock. AS the trip
was not a nonstop race, but one to
test the economical running of the
car, several stops were made en- route
to rest the occupants.
The route over which Mr.. Jester
drove his car was most unfavorab BILE,
in many places since the heavy rains
of the night before had left the roads
TN very slippery condition, making
traction difficult. The route was
through Hartford, Springfield and
Westfield through the heart Of the
Berkshire Hills, to Lee, Lenox and
Pittsfeld, Mass. From there the
route took the park through the
mountains to Adams and North
Adams, Mass, where the MACHINE was
driven to the summit of the famous
Mohawk Trail and back. Returning,
it was necessary to drive from Hart
ford to Middletown and Durham and
thence to Meriden and New Britain
to make the necessary 800 miles.
The total gasoline consumption
was fourteen and three-quarters gall,
Ions. Three quarts of oil were used. +
The car averaged 21.07 miles to the
gallon, considered by automobile men
an excellent record. ~

Already returns of the blanks which
eventually determine the number of
men that have enlisted from this city
and the true draft quota computation,
nave been made to this Office. The
OUTLOOK is bright for quick results as
this is only the first day of the cam
palgn being waged by this paper to
ascertain whether the allotment
placed upon this city by the COVER
nors statlstician is correct. and the
people are responding to the sugges-
ton.
Our quota, as designated by the
authorities at Washington is $40. The
number of credits given US for enlist
ments is 327. The first figure seems
grossly exaggerated. This is especial
~ so when we stop to thing the pop
ulation of this city, which seven years
ago when the census was taken, was
5O,612 In estimating New Britain's
share for the CONSUMPTION army, the
statlstician from Glastonbury placed
the population of this city at 76,942.
An increase over the last census, of at
least $4,000. Is it possible that New
Britain's population has increased
$4,000 in seven years? 1t is possible,
but not at all probable.
According to a despatch received 81
few days ago from Washington, each
city, county and state must furnish
tWo-thirds of one per cent of it's paper
population according to the news esti-
mates. for the purpose of equalizing
the draft rather than to represent ac-
curate population totals.
Assuming that there are 76,942 in
dividuals in this city, two-thirds of
one per cent of that number would be
only 513. Assuming that New Britain
has a population of $4,000, which is

Mayor Quigley spoke of the matter
being discussed at a meeting of the
State Mayors association, but this city
was the only one to make it effective.
He saw good deal of injustice in the
local ordinance, he said The ordi-
nance when drawn was with the view
of affecting irresponsible persons,
rather than merchants, with whom he
sympathized.
Councilman Spencer also spoke
against the ordinance and moved that
a resolution be adopted, whereby mer-
chants would not be barred from the
sale of firearms. He explained that
under the old ordinance the police had
a record of all firearms sold. and the
identity of the purchaser but with
the new law, 1t is possible to go out
OF town and secure them, and in this
way people own guns and other fire.
arms unknown to the police depart
ment.
Councilman Landers extended his
sympathy to merchants affected by the
ordinance, and could see no harm in
selling ammunition and guns to
hunters who preyed on ducks and
other game in this section. He moved
that Messers Monier be given a hear
ing.
Alderman Curtis said he felt that
some penalty should be imposed on
persons carrying firearms without
proper registration. I'VE are not, here
to legislate for Mr.. Monier or any one
else,'' he said.
Mayor Quigley said that while he
considered the communication exag-
gerated, he believed that an ordinance
should be enacted to govern the pur-
chase of firearms and ammunition.
He said it was impossible to prevent
the sale of them.
The matter came to head with the
presentation Of a motion to refer the
matter to the corporation counsel and
the ordinance committee.

Mayor Quigley said an investigation
on his part had brought out the fact
that the company is now paying
more wages than ever for their tend
ers, and trying in every way to i'm

Councilman Landers agreed with
Alderman Curtis concerning condi.
tons and said that the matter should
be taken before the public utilities
commission If necessary. Councilman
Andrews spoke of witnessing near

defended the negro tender on Myrtle

saying he was a conscientious official
but Councilman Weld told of watch

A resolution was adopted to present

crossings in this city.
House Numbering.
Alderman Paonessa asked concern
ing an ordinance governing property
owners having their houses properly
numbered. ASK the city engineer,

Curtis. Clerk Thompson read from
the city ordinances, showing where

diction in this manner, ordering

limbs from trees which hang near

work could be done more cheaply

VERY cheap. a new pavement will

engineer.
Alderman Curtis said he would not
oppose the resolution further but he
hoped the city engineer could see his
way to have it done more cheaply
if possible.
The council voted to recommend
the placing of an SOC. p. arc light

his appreciation in seeing the alder

Sewer Comes First.
Not to be outdone by his fellow

Alderman McCabe arose to protest

He urged a pavement but Mayor

that it would be necessary to build
a sewer before paving work can be
started. Alderman Curtis spoke Of
