Hoover and His Children,
{ M eriden Record )


 Herbert Hoover is returning to the United States for weu-deserved rest.
 Nobody asks any more, "Who is plying American business ability to q, bad situation, saved Belgium from starving and subsequently, saved large part of Europe. He has been credited since the armistice with be- ing a veritable dictator He has exercised more power in eastern and southeastern Europe in recent months than the allied council.
 But power is not what people as- sociate with Hoover's name. What is it, then? Ask any woman. Hoover has a secure place in the heart of humanity today because of the chil- dren he saved.
 He will receive many cOmplim IS on his return. An admiring govern ment and public will praise and homo :. him. But there can be nothing to surpass a tribute he has already re- ceived across the Atlantic. In War saw, before he left for home, there was a spontaneous emonstration of gratitude such as has come to few men ever in the world, perhaps to none. A procession of children filed past him steadily for five hours cheering, singing and weeping, in happy recognition of what he had done for them
 He has 3,5OOOOO ba bies to look after now," writes a European cor respondent.
 On one of the rare occasions when he relaxed from his severe business attitude and showed some of the real feeling inside him, Hoover remarked "I believe in children"
 M@ybe that is why the world be- lieve7 in Hoover and gives him such ungrudging praise for his work.

N S7 Peak in Grand Opera.
 NoN- Xnl.lZ NITn,1IN

Horse racing is the legendary sport of kings. Grand opera in New York Is the modern diversion of princess at least, of men of princely incomes. There is a new reminder in the off, cial annOuncemen from the Metro- politan of s7 opera in the coming season for those who sit transiently in orchestra chairs and of s4 opera for those content with places in the dress circle. This is an advance of S1 over last years raise.
 There is no use in repining over this condition. Probably there is as little use in criticizing or in com blaming. The organization back of the Metropolitan makes rather a boast of paying no dividends. It pro- claims it's interest in grand opera for arts sake. Apparently it can get what it chooses to ask for it's best seats.
 The advance in rates now an nOunCed is said to be made neces- sary by the increased cost of grand opera production" Reading that line, one is reminded again of the probable basis in imitation upon which have risen further increases in costs.
 
 the $3 rate for grand operat prevailed. After 1883 began the period of lavish offerings to singers which turned America into a promised land for the opera stars of Europe and afforde l the Old World fresh opportunity to make sharp though envious filings at the New Worlds confidence in it's dollars.
 Positivists are ready to take oath that we have always paid more for opera stars than was necessary; that even a Caruso need not have come so high; that our purchases of voices have been pushed upward only by our own prodigality. At any rate, having set the pace, we have kept it. The price of keeping that pace, whether fair or foolish, is the large fact be- hind the mounting of grand opera for the general public to it's S7 peak.

X Real Playground.
(Meriden JOurnalo

One of the most interesting parks in this section of the country IS Rockwell Park, at Bristol, which was developed by Mr. and Mrs. A. r. Rockwell and presented to the city, though it is maintained by the donors. There are wonderful natural aids which have been adapted to park needs. Then, the place has been pop ularized by splendid beach and swimming pool, with rookeries, chutes and all the things that go to make up real resort.
 However, the thing that fixes the visitors attention is the playground, the most perfectly appointed place we have ever seen outside a very large city. Here is an enclosure filled with swings, with chutes, With sell propelled merry-go-'rounds, With con- crete dancing floors for which music is furnished by an electric piano. There are basketball courts, tennis courts and many other features.
 This place is in charge of a super visor and yesterday there were 800 children. all having a wonderful time, and if made Meriden visitors thinN what a fine thing such place would he for Hubbard Park, or for City Park. Instead, we have several play

WOODEN SHIPS.

They are rememb bering forests where they grew; The midnight quiet and the giant dance; And all the singing summers that they knew Are haunting still their altered circumstance. Leaves they have lost and robins in the nest, Tug of the friendly earth denied to ships, These, and the rooted certainties, and To gain a watery girdle at the hips Only the wind that follows ever aft They greet not as a stranger on their ways; But this old friend, with whom they drank and laughed, Sits in the stern and talks of other days, When they had held high bacchan- alias still, Or dreamed among the stars on some tall hill

Will the Flu Come Back?

Surgeon General Blue of the public nent medical authorities in predicting a proba ble return of the influenza this fall. Still, his opinion, which is ad- mittedly of high value, is not depress- ing. "Probably but by no means cer- tainly," he says, "tllere will be a re- currence of the influenza epidemic this year. Indications are that should 1t occur it will not be as severe as the pandemic of last year. The fact that previous attack brings lm- munity in a certain percentage Of cases should allay fear on the part of those afflicted in the previous cpl demic." The immunization of a con- siderable part of the population and the probable mildness of the disease, If it recurs, should serve to prevent serl- ous apprehension. Waterbury, espe- cially, may hope to escape very lightly if the "flu' comes back.
 Now, however, is the time to be preparing for it. Surgeon General Blue emphasizes this point "Com- munities should make plans now for dealing with any recurrences,' he says This is a task for the board of health, and there should be no excuse
 
 with plan of organization. sufficient medical supplies and hospital space. But while boards of health should De planning community cam paiens the individual can do much to aid in the defensive First, he should be look ing after his general health and begin building up his energy. All the time possible should be spent out doors. OverWorl1 and overexcitement should be avoided. Plenty of sleep should be obtained. III. ventilated houses and stuffy, foul-sm cling places of amuse- ment should be summed. In short, all the well known rules for health should be carefully observed.
 'Everything that increases person. al contact should be regarded as fac tor in spreading inf1uenza,' says Dr. Blue. This means that the individual should exercise special care in clean liness He should not wait until the disease appears to do this but should trv to avoid anything that may be the means of transmitting diseases from others to himself. If he will do these things and keep cheerful there IS no reason why he need fear the recur- renee of the influenza. And it is not at all certain that it will recur anyhow. Upon this question as upon so many the medical authorities are divided; and some well known men do not be- Heve that we will be afflicted again this fall.

the American Contractor, filings in 153 cities last month aggregated al- most s170, 0,000,00O, as against One- fourth of this amount during 1918. During the latter year private con- struction work was practically at a standstill, government operations comprising almost all of the actual work started. Eliminating last years figures, the totals for the preceding four years fell far short of the aggre- gate for 1919. The figures quoted only embrace the cities where there are building departm ents.
 In New York City the amounts in Volved last August, as compared with 1918, show gains of from 320 per cent. in Richmond to 1856 per cent in Manhattan. These totals are, how ever, only fraction of the actual contem plated construction in the metropolitan district. No official records are kept for Nassau and Suf- folk counties, Long Island, many sec tions of Westchester county and New Jersey, where an enormous amount of residential construction is In progress
 The Herald has said many times that the only practical way to relieve the housing shortage is to build. That costs are high is only incidental. Buildings will be purchased at the new levels as readily as when the old prices were in vogue. The shortage of housing accomm modations has made rent payers realize the advisa bility Of "owning your own home" Once this theory is really put in practice, real estate and business in general will be on a f1rmer and sounder basis than ever before.

ter statement as was in the former, but several months have been added, with the result that the general aver age fell off 5.+3 per cent. There has been an increase on other items, not ably housing, but the decrease is here That IS certain.
 It is better for all of us that there should be a gradual decline in prices rather than d sudden drop, which would precirjtate a panic. Produc- tion is being increased, VIC are finding our way out of the woods. Mean- while, there is still a little danger that we may still bring about higher prices. Useless frills and unnecessary eXpend- itures should be cut by every family. Profiteers and evidences of protteer- ing should be carefully watched.

It Is indeed a time for all good men and true to stick together against a public gone mad with idealism.-a public that has puritanIcally tried and condemned John Barleycorn, the poisoner, and now fanatically insists that policemen shall not mutiny and let loose anarchy upon the city.

BIDS FOR GARAGE
Board of Public Works Opens Pro- poSaIs for Municipal Building John Downcs Is Lowest Bidder.

Bids for the erection of the new municipal garage were opened last night at meeting of the building committee at city hall. The commit tee considers making some modifica- tions in the plans, since the building on which the prices were received, is larger than upon which the appro- priation was estimated. The matter will probably be reported to the coun- cil tonight.
 The bid of A. N. Rutherford was $16,449 for the building complete and the builder agrees to complete the building in seventy working days. If the concrete work is not required, the price would be $13,549. The bid of the B. H. Hubbard company was S15,- 999 and if the concrete work is not required the price is go be $13,299. Completion in eighty-fve working days is agreed upon. John F. Downes figured the contract at S15,S16 and if the concrete work is not required the price is to be $12,916. He agrees to finish the building in seVenty-fve working days.
 Tn the presence of the bidders MT. Downes, the low bidder, agreed to make pro rata reduction in his bids from the basic price. The original plan for the building called for structure 8S by so feet.

Speeding Up Building.

Despite labor troubles, high cost of materials and financial conditions due to the readjustment of capital from a war to a peace basis, building oper- ations for August show a tremendous increase over similar months during the past six years. While the re- construction period is fairly launched, it undoubtedly will take several years before the present shortage in all classes of buildings is relieved and normal conditions again maintain.
 According to statistics compiled by
