Girl Conductors.
(Meriden Journal).


If the Connecticut company begins
to lose some Of its popularity. or
rather If it loses more Of It's popular
ity by reason Of the increase In the
trolley fare, there is a way by which
this could. be gotten back. Let the
company put attractive girls on the
cars as conductors. not a. motor
operators, for there the danger would
be too great for the pedestrians. Girl
conductors would certainly add much
to the pleasure Of the ride down town
in the morning and there would be
considerable more riding than there
Is now.
Seriously the labor situation Is be-
coming so acute In some Of the cities
that the trolley company may be
forced to resort to getting women
employees, for there Is a decided scar
city Of available material This Is not
true in Meriden, for there are plenty
of men on the lines here and 1t Is
also said there is quite q waiting list
Women gate tenders have ceased
to be novelty and If the Connecti-
cut company wishes to keep up the
interest of the faded public in its
lines 1t may we'll resort to this in
novation.

HIS SAVING GRACE.

An Indiana town in the old DAYS
boosted of two characteristic official
mean man who never did a good deed
If 1t was possible to do a mean one,
and an official optimist who had never
been heard to speak an evil word Of
any human.
In the fullness of time the bad man
died. On the day Of the funeral the
usual crowd gathered at the post Of
flee to await the distribution of mail
Naturally the life and works Of the
late unlamented came under discus
sion.
The deceased was painted as a
miser, liar, a thief, a scandal mon
ger and a backbiter. The optimist
who was present, listened in turned
on him.
"Say, Gid" demanded the other
man, "ain't everything we've said about
that old scoundrel the truth? Kin
you name one deservin' trait he ever
shallowed?'

OUT OF POLITICS.

It took DR.. T. Eben Reeks the best
part of three years and six months to
bring the local health department to
its present point of efficiency. It
would take about four politicians and
three months to overthrow the entire
system and leave it a wreakage upon
the shore. What one man builds an
other destroys. This is the charge
brought against those who are at
tempting to GUST the co-workers Of
DR.. Reeks.

insinuations which have been brought
to public attention, the Mayor Of New
Britain should lose no time in tel 8.
ing the persons responsible for these
fears to keep off the grass" Mayor
Quigley has already directed letter
to certain dissatisfied spirits. He can
go even further. With the loss Of
DR.. Reeks as superintendent of health
the best thing the city can now have Is
the personnel of his staff. These
men and women who have ]abored
with the superintendent for three
years and half should know the bus
mess thoroughly. They have almost
mastered the situation. Upon their
shoulders must fall the greater part
Of the detail work. It Is to the best
Interests CT the city then that they be
allowed to continue these tasks.
Politics has no business putting it's
dirty hand on the health department.
That department, above all others,
must remain clean. The work there Is
directed for the betterment of the
city's general health. This work cam
not 80 on if with every change of
administration. whether Of the city or
the department, there is to come an
upheaval; If men and women who
have rendered faithful service are to
be thrown out simply to make way
for "favorites". This is no time to
take such chances. It Is a time to set
| precedent and take the health de-
partment far away from political In

Your Lad and Ny Lad.

(Randall Parrish in the Chicago
Tribune).
Down toward the deep blue water.
marching to throb of drum,
From city street and country lane the
lines of khaki come;
The rum bling guns, the sturdy tread,
are full of grim appeal,
While rays of western sunshine flash
back from FURNISHED steel;
With eager eyes and cheeks aflame
the serried ranks advance;
And your dear lad, and my dear lad,
are on their way to France.
A sob clings choking in the throat, as
file on file sweep by,
Between those cheering multitudes, to
where the great ships lie;
The batteries halt, the columns wheel.
to clear-toned bugle call,
With shoulders squared and faces
front they stand khaki wall.
Tears shine on every watchers
check. love speaks in every
glance;
For your dear lad, and my dear lad.
are on their way to France.
Before them, through a mist of years,
in soldier buff or blue,
Brave comrades from q thousand
fields watch now in proud re-
view;
The same old Flag, the same old
Faith-the Ere edom Of the
World
Spells DUTY in those tlaoping folds
above long ranks 'unfurled.
Strong are the hearts which bear
along Democracy'x advance,
AS your dear lad. and my dear lad,
SO on their way to France.
The word rings out; million feet
tramp forward on the road,
Along that path of sacrifice DER
which their fathers strobe,
With eager eyes and cheeks aflame.
with cheers on smiling lips,
These fighting men Of 1T move on
wa1d to their ships.
Nor even love may hold them back,
or halt that stern advance,
AS your dear lad, and my dear lad,
so on their way to France.
