APPEAL FOR CRIPPLED
 CHILDREN.

Over in NeWington there are several wooden buildings of more or less an- cient vintage that are housing 1O3 crippled children, wards of the Con- necticut Children's Aid society, who are unable, in the majority of cases, to walk at all or to care for them selves, Today the society is starting campaign in the papers of the state to raise a half million dollars for the primary purpose of building a better home and also for the addition of many needed accessories to the in stitution. The good natured public is asked by means of advertising, to contribute what it may to the cause. The present inmates of the home number about one third of the cripples of the whole of Connecticut and it is hoped that sufficient money will be raised to build a place that will furnish accommodations for the entire number.
 There you have it, friend reader.
 
 tribute some of your hard earned coin to the general veal. We do not attempt to disguise the fact that appeals of this kind are common and possibly becoming lonesome. How ever again, we believe that the pro- ject is worthy of consideration. If it oaipS voI1r cOnSjd era ti0O we are SlIre that your support will be forthcom- ing.
 incura bles the institution is now a place where the latest and most scientific means for the reconstruction and reclamation of crippled bodies is put into practice, with the result that few, at Least, of those who seemed doomed to a life of helpless ness of limb. Crippled children arouse more pity than any other class of human unfortunates, the hope of saving some of them should be the brightest lode star in the Armament of humanity. Whatever your sub scription, whatever your means, the home is worth it all Should you sub- scribe or be unable to, your good wishes are appreciated. In the words of the most famous cripple of them all, God Bless You, Every One''

Barefoot Styles.

Bridgeport PostD In old New England vacation times L all the kids" boys and girls, with out regard to family position, the half millionaire mans child-there were few millionaires in those days-and the day mans youngster would "go barefoot"
 During the long summer freedom the children would batter about shoe less, except on Sunday. And most of us can recall the weekly agony which attended the COnfining of the foot, after it's six days of unbound ex- erCiSe.
 But as New England progressed in wealth, and little cities became big municipalities, this custom gradually became, mot respectable.' Nowadays it is rare to see a child barefoot, ex- cept in some of the humbest sections
 But all of a sudden up comes a style which invites the uncovered pedal extremity. Paris introduces it, and, like other fashions from the French capital rapidly becoming gay again as the war memories pass it travels the world over.
 New York has been introduced to it, and by the ladies, too. But so far the city does not tage to the idea, and with reason. Those stone pavementS would make barefoot walking very much like the fire store exercises of some of the South Pacific Islands, re- gently pictured to the world through the weekly films.
 They do report that some of the ultra fashionable have eXporimented with the barefoot fashion to the ex- tent of trying it at dinner time in the restaurants.
 But this was too much, even from New York hotels. Orders were issued to halt the moVemen They did not put up signs, No Barefeet Allowed Here" but the walters were informed. Secret diplomacy was employed. If any Parisian cOpyist dared to break the unposted rule d quite whisper did the rest.
 It is really curious, after all, when YOU come to think over it how we are returning to the days of the dad dies for many little economies which were then forced upon us by necessity. The war taught us ways of saving. II was so good to add to accumulated

THE BAND CONCERT.

The second public band concert of the season was held last evening in Walnut Hill park before many. people. The park was a pretty sight with it's crowds from every walk in life as- sembled AutOm obiles lined the road ways, trolleys left their passengers at the entrance to the park, and the foOtpaths from all directions were crowded with pedestrians. The am- phitheater east of the band stand was packed withs people. The expense of the affair merited itself many times over
 It is with a great deal of satisfac- tion that we note the response of the public to civic affairs of this descrip- tion. We are cheered by the realiza- ton that so many take advantage of the opportunity to mix with their fel- lows and enjoy the music in the municipal park. It speaks we'll for our people, this apprecia tion of the beauty of music and nature. It also merits the recognition of public amuse- ments in the parks, and when city budgets are being considered

Wise Words.
(NeW York Herald.)

NA>C" | Oi rN 1ICl cllus
 At the opening meeting of the se- lected graduates who have undertaken to conduct a drive to raise an endow- ment fund of 100000 for Harvard university President Lowell said:
 Your professor does not ask 4
 much. What he wants is to be
 able to live comfortably on scale
 of living in which a professor
 ought to live, to educate his chil-
 dren as highly as he was educated
 himself and to provide for his old
 age. If you are afraid of radical
 sociaIistic, BoIshevistic tendencies,
 don't underpay the people who /
 are to teach your youth. It Is
 very bad investment.
 These are wise words. The salaries paid instructors and professors in uni- versailles and colleges and also teach CTS in the public schools, are, as rule, deplorably low, especially so since the era of high cost of living ses in. It was stated recently that some of the men employer on the Boston Elevated railroad system, where strike for higher wages recently tied up the whole transportation system of that city, received higher pay than many of the instructors at Harvard. If this is true it is a disgraceful situa- ton. If the youth of the land are te be instructed along safe and sane lines, if they arc to be educated to combat the vicious social and econom- ic propaganda spread broadcast, they must be free from suggestions of dis content and pessimism <nat might en- anate from a teacher or instructor who feels himself submerged by un- just and unfair conditions When a man has devoted years of his life fit- ting himself for the high calling of in, structor or professor is not cniy hul initiating but disintegl ating to be com pelled to struggle for the bare neces- sites of life.

THE ELECTION RESULTS
The growing weakness of the Den

The growing weakness Of the Dem
ocratic party was clearly manifested
in the election results of this year,
particularly in the Massachusetts
contest. 1t has been noted by po-
litical observers, that the Democratic
party was pursuing a most ignoble
attitude on matters relating to Boil
shevik anI SOcialistic agitation. Ii
has tried to ride two horses at once,
to capture Bolshevik votes, yet all
the time it claims to be in favor of
law and order and the established
forms Of government.
This shifty and double-faced atti-
tude was most clearly revealed in
the Massachusetts Democratic policy,
which mildly condemned the recent
police strike in Boston, and then pro-
ceeded to denounce bitterly the cour-
ageous governor who had maintained
the law and authority of the state.
But the Massachusetts, Democrats
truckled to Bolshevism to no pur-
pose. They alienated a multitude
OF their own party members, and
many many thousands Of men who
never before voted a Republican
ticket Joined hands with the Repub-
lican party to maintain good gov
eminent and American principles
and put their foot on manifestations
OF the soviet idea.
The crushing defeat of Democracy
in Massachusetts was a singing blow
to politicians everywhere who have
been flirting with the Red element
