REPRESENTATIVES OF CONN. LEGION
 AT WASHINGTON

6 Washington, March 23-Connecti cut representatives of the American Legion today called on members of the state congressional delegation and urged an ample bonus for former service men along the lines indicated by the national order. The state Or ganization was represented by PbI1o c. Calhoun, Bridgeport, department commander; T. J. Bannigan, Hartford department adjutant; Justus Fennell, Stamford national executive commit teeman from Connecticut. They conferred with Senator Mclean, Con gressmen Merritt, Tilson and Loner- gan. They strongly endorsed the four plans for the bonus as advocat- ed by the Legion, which include land
 grants as under the Monden bill, cash
 to the amount of $1.50 a day from
 enlistment to discharge, vocational training for all who desire it, and home-building loans as under the Morgan bill.

She Must Be Right

May Allison now engaged in work before the camera for t"The Cheater'' from Henry Arthur Jones's drama, Judah" asserts that the California weather man qualities better for the title of cheater than anyone she knows exists. She said:
 'tAll season long while it rained and I ruined pair after pair of stock ings by not wearing rubbers, I meant to invest in rubbers. Last week did. They were all new and shiny. And they still are; and now the weather man says the rainy seasons over, so suppose I'll have to put them in some garage until next winter

DAYLIGHT SAVING
 MAY SEND TANGLE
 TO P. U. BOARD

Richard T. Higgins. chairman of the public utilities commission, said yesterday that he is in favor of day light saving insofar as it was carried on under a national law. but was somewhat afraid that any other method might not work as well and that confusion would prevail The public utilities commission, said MT. Higgins, has no authority to change or establish standard time in conflict with the government. His statement as issued was:
 'I am personally in favor of the daylight saving policy as maintained throughout the country in 1919 under a national law. I am apprehensive, however, that any daylight saving system other than a national system will work confusion.
 ''The policy of certain municipali- ties or states passing varying ordi- nances or laws favorable to the day light saving plan, is at best patch work and an attempt to change standard time for local communities.
 "I fail to see wherein the public utilities commission has any jurisdic- tion in the matter, excepting to the extent of approving train schedules in conformity with local daylight sav- ing policies established or about to be established in New York cIfy, Bos- ton, Providence and other nearby points involving train schedules through Connecticut. A change of train schedules on the main lines un- doubtedly will necessitate a similar change on all branch and connecting lines.
 ''It is certain. however. that this commission has no authority to change or establish standard time in conflict With the United States gov ernment standard, or Section 6720 of the general statutes of this state''

Race Horse Owner
 Has Negro Arrested
 For Taking Animal

New York, March 24.--Vincent Hen- dricks, colored, of 1O2d street, Rich mond Hill was arrested yesterday on a charge of grand larceny. The com plainant was William Heyman Of Woodhaven, l.. l., who alleged that he entrusted to Hendricks a race horse named Spades valued at $1, 200, which Hendricks was to keep at the Aque- duct race track. When he went to see the horse, he said Hendricks told him the horse had broken a leg and had been shot.
 Heyman became suspicious, and when the police had no record of the slaughter of the anbrnal, he made a search of the various stalls at the race track and found Spades at the oppo- site end of the track. Hendricks pleaded not guilty and was held for further hearing April 8, in the Ja- maica Magistrates Court

 ARE REFUSED
 EVERYWHERE

Warsaw, March Russian Bol- shevik forces which have attacked the Polish front with great fury in the vicinity of Robruisk have been re- pulsed everywhere. according to an official statement issued at army headuuarters here. The. soviet forces were equipped with arrnored automo- piles and tanks and seemed to center their attack in the direction of Mozir in an effort to retalze that place from the Poles. At some places there was hand to hand fighting and villages were taken and retaken before the BoIsheviki were finally driven back.
 Lemberg newspapers announce the capture of Mohilev by the Soviet forces, and say citizens are fleeing ahead of the Red army. Ukrainian headquarters have been removed to Human by Premier Mazepa, it is said.

have been 30 particular, should have
gone to so a'Lch trouble for him. He
was short. swarthy man, badly
dressed altho in evening clothes

Neil had given him made him feel

unattractive personality, and to be
as interesting as | could. That I was
succeeding, and that Neil was pleas

ciative glances In my direction.

Neil became talkative,

They excused themselves and went

shares for about ten minutes. Then
Neil gave him some stock certifl-
cates--at least that was what they

| check.
After he left, Neil laughed rather
sarcastIcally and said
THE fool! he's dead easy"
What do you mean, Neil? And
why were you so anxious to enter
tain such a man lavishly?"

Justice the Trucst Expedlcncy.

Editor World: plate knew Jesus was a Just
man and said so to those ClamorinC to kill him
but the pressure Of Christs enemies upon PLATE
was so strong that the weak politician thought
1t cNpcdient to turn the guiltlcss one over to
the mob Of lynchers. And since the time Of that
tragic betrayal there have been many betrayals
OF Justice to the mammon Of eXpcdiency.
In "A noble outburst of true American love for
fair play our president said that Shautung
should not so to Japan. that It should he re-
turned to china from which II was wronCfulIy
wrenched. The suave Clemenceau and the tricky
Lloyd George, however convinced Ny. Wilson
that cxpcdiency called for the cession of China
fair province o Japan.
As a consequence OF this pcrfidv we have the
written covenant Of the league of nations
breathing noble altruism i'm some parts like
Pilates first stand for justice, and in other
parts. plate like yielding to Injustice for mis-
called eNpedienCy
The covenant makers spent much time on
their abortive work but as there was no JEFF
fcrson nor Lincoln among theU--uo'--nor the
spirit Of truth-they forgot that Justice Is the
trucst eNpcdcncy' and the only foundation upon
which an enduring league OF nations AT peace
can be built.
