for everything.
Therefore. after a good bit Of de-
cision and indccision Virginia gave M
her college course, went home ana
turned her whole attention to vocal les
sons. For two years she kept at II
quite steadily. and then came another
interest in the way Of very good op-
portunity to enter the business world:
BY this time Virginia had discovered
that she was never scheduled to become
star in grand opera, so she accepted
the business position.
DO you know how Virginia spends
most of her spare time now? Bewail-
ing the fact that she gave up those
years Mt college in order to devote them
to her voice. She simply cannot forget
the fact that she spent two years chas
ing rainbow that did not matcralize.
WE HAVE christened it "holding a
w post mortem. Our grandmothcrs
styled it crying over split milk. What
ever 1t is we may choose to call the
waste time over things that cannot be
recalled. it's all wrong In the first
place. If we can ever style the gaining
of experience a loss in days and hours
there is this to consider: No time is ever
wasted that teaches us the folly Of vast
ing time.
The thing TO do is to profit gamely
by our mistakes; not to let them be-
come millStones around our necks.
Every life must hold an average num-
Der of mistakes. If we don't make them
in our youth we blossom forth with
them in middle age or save them for our
fading years. 1t is consoling and
steadying thought that this is so. If
you cheerfully turn to it every time you
feel like brooding over what might
have been ten chances TO one you
smile and gamely change the subject.

MINERS WOW REPORTED TO
 BE READY 70 COlMPROlNZSE
Officials of United Mine Workers of America Say They Are Ready and Willing to Negotiate New Wage Agreement Between Now and November 1st Which Will Avert the Strike.
WORKERS THEMSELVES s DO NOT WANT TO
 QUIT, BUT DO so ONLY AS LAST RESORT

Indianapolis, Ind, Oct. 27-While preparations for the strike of the half million soft coal miners of the United States, ordered for next Sat urday are being continued it was said at the international headquarters of the United Mine Workers of Amer lca here today that the miners are ready and willing to negotiate Q new wage agreement between now and November i that will avert the strike
 We don't know what the week will bring forth" said Ellis Searles, edi- tor of the Mine Workers Journal the off1cial publication of the organization. We do know this. that the miners are ready and willing-and have been to negotiate new wage agreement between now and November 1 and we do know that the operators have re- fused. They have rejected proposal after proposal
 NOW If the gOVernm ent would use the same amount of pressure on the operators that it is using on the United Mine Workers of America there would be no trouble in bring ing about a settlement. All pressure, so far, has been on the miners and none on the operators. The govern
New Britain herald., 1919-10-27

ment could bring the operators into conference easily, if it wanted to.
 The organized miners do not want to strike-it is the last resort. It is, and always has been, the policy of the mine workers to use all honor able means to avoid a strike. We hope the operators yet may be in- duced to meet the miners and reach an agreement, which will make the strike called for November 1 un necessary.
 we want the public to know that the miners have done everything in their power to bring about a confer ence so that a new wage agreement could be negotiated and the strike avoided. Up to this time our efforts have been unsuccessful; the operators seem determined to force a strike on the public in order to maintain the high price of coal at the mines."
 Should the strike go into effect Sat urday next, MT. Searles said, every organized bituminous coal miner in the United States would cease the pro ducton of coal and a large number of on-organized miners would join the strike. He estimated that be- tween 5OO,O0O and 6OO,0O men would walk out

Will Enforce Law.

Hartford, Oct. 27.-'"This law was given us to enforce. We shall enforce it without fear of failure. I appeal to the saloon keepers of the state to abide by the law and I expect them all to close as soon as the law becomes ef- fective. If they don't we'll close them"
 This statement was made to the public today through the press by James J. Walsh, U. $. internal revenue collector for the Connecticut district concerning the prohibition enforce ment act now before the president for signature which becomes effective after midnight Tuesday unless President Wilson Vetoes it. MT. Walsh'S state ment says in part:
 "I don't expect there will be any necessity for a cleanup, for I think that liquor dealers throughout the state will respect the law.
 Hard on Speak Easys.'
 T would call the attention of the general public to a clause in the bill providing a penalty and prosecution of those who inform others where they can procure liquor. This also will be enforced to the full extent.
 Under the law we are empowered to seek the assistance of the govern or and mayors of cities in the state. Nothing but concrete evidence will be accepted from societies or anyone else. No hearsay information can be consid cred.
 25 Agents in State.
 1T don't anticipate any trouble. We expect to have 25 agents in the Con- necticut field to enforce this law

NO WEDDING RING
 SHORTAGE IN CITY
New Britain Jewellers Have Plenty in Stock-One Shop Makes Its Own New York Reports Shortage.

New Britain may be confronted with a shortage in sugar but not in wedding rings. The report comes from New York that there is a shortage of these, but jewellers in this city when interviewed by a Herald representa- tive this morning declared that they had plenty on hand. This was the opinion of A. J. Churchill. M. c. Le- Witt said that he had made prepara- tions against such shortage at his shop by ordering a large supply of rings several months ago and expects a further supply very shortly. George Dyson, of Porter & Dyson, said that that company made their own we'd ding rings, securing gold from New York.
 No one need postpone a wedding for want of a ring as his shop would take care of everybody, he said.
 The shortage is said to be due to the makers of gold rings in New York asking for more money to make rings as they can make more money manufa curing other kinds of jeWelry.

WAVE OF STRIKE RIOTS HAS SPREAD FROM NEW YORK TO TENNESSEE, WHERE
 SOLDIERS ARE CALLED INTO SERVICE
NAVY DEPT. TO BUY
 BIGGEST AIRPLANE

Wa ashington, Oct. 27-An early closing of the contract for the pur- chase by the navy department of the British rigid airship R-3S, the largest airship in the world, now under construction in England, is ex- pected, it was stated at the depart ment today. Two and a half million dollars were appropriated by con- gress for the purchase of thir air ship and for the training of the pilots
 "The success" said the statement "of the British in building and operating rigid airships is proved by the trip of the RIA to the United States and it's return to England While the Germans had many years start of the British the latter have made a wonderful progress in the last few years.
 "The R-3S to outward appear ances will look like the RIA but her dimensions, horsepower speed and radius of action will be much greater. When full of gas she will have a 2,274,000 cubic feet capacity, which is l , times that of the C-5 the United States naval dirigible that blew out to sea and was lost last spring at Newfoundland just after a record flight from Cape May and on the eve of an attempt to cross the Atlantic.'
 The R-3S is 694 feet in length, S6 feet in diameter 93 feet, inches high and carries a useful load of 45 tons. She is expected to have a maximum speed of 60 knots.
 The British air ministry has offered to train personnel for the R-3S so that upon delivery the airship can be taken over immediately by an American crew and be flown to the United States.

Federal Officers Will Have No Trouble Here, Local Liquor Dealers Say-25 Agents Will Come to State For ViOlatOrS

That Connecticut will be bone dry by tomorrow night seems absolutely certain unless the president eXer- cises the veto to the prohibition en- forcement bill. This action seems unlikely and the majority opinion among fiquor men in the city and state appears to be that he will allow the bill to become effective without his signature. The brewers Of the state have given notice that they will discontinue all beverages conta1n1sg more than one-half of one per cent. of alcohol and they will make no more deliveries after today.
 Local Situation.
 A. E. MOnSees, president of the New Britain Retail Liquor Dealers association said today that if the pro- hibition bill is enforced the local saloons would close tomorrow night. He said that the liquor dealers here were in doubt just what action to take and were waiting for the out come.
