CITY ASKS FOR TENTS.

Los Angeles housing situation is Ao bad that the City Council has asked Secretary of War Baker for the loan of 5000 army tents in which some of It's citizens may live.
 In it's request VIC come across the old emergency" word. The Council says the emergency exists.
 How reminiscent of Governor Hoi- comb. Such a difference. He saw no special emergency in the housing situation sufficient to call a special sesaion of thc legislature to enact laws which would afford people some relief The City Council of Los Angeles declares that an emergency exists. Perhaps Secretary Baker will believe such to he the fact.
 And yet consider the weather of Los Angeles in uunter compared with that of Connecticut. It is fortunate for the people of Los Angeles that the City Council has different idea of emer- gcnctes than has the respected gov ernor of this state. And 1t is to be hoped. for tho sake af the homeless of Los Angeles that Secretary of War Baker will see in the shelterless condi- ton of many thousands of people. in- cluding probably babies. children and even bc characterized as special"

 Thus it Is all up to labor.
 It took the public a long time. with more money in its possession than ever before. to realize that extrava- gance was digging the public's finan- cial grave. The people realize this fact now and nothing but an approach to normal prices will satisfy them. The that is all there Is to it. And labor. ex- cept in rare instances, has not walked up Co the fact that the people have wakened. have laid aside their dreams and are acting tn thc'r normal senses.
 Despite the closing down of some of the manufacturing plants: despite the comparatively recently acquired habit of the people to re- fuso to purchase at prices quoted: despite the occasional pessimistic remarks Of manufacturers who do not realize the weight given to their slightest remark. those better times predicted will come shortly. They believe it: we believe it-and such belief is founded on the facts and the history Of similar periods of de- precision and the emergency therefrom.

sr. MNRK.s NEw CHURCH.

Comment has been made on the growth of New Britain and its failure to accompany such growth with beautiful buildings in keeping with the natural attraction and the practi- cal high stand this city has assumed.
 No New Britain Ioyalist will agree absolutely with the criticism. but New Britain people will be interested in the new St. Marks church building plans for which have been accepted. It will stand on the first two lots west of the Library and will be one of the attrac- tive spots of the city.
 It Is peculiarly fitting that a city's churches should accentrate the beau tiful. Nothing Of this character can be disassociatod from religion. The man who deprecates the erection of beauti- ful cdifices in which to worship fails to grasp the ideal of the church teachings Worship will be no more sincere in structure which attrscts by it's mag nificcncc. but the unfortunate fact ItFtlhtnk lnHI ll VIII dllidtA NhAh the poor little building which casts gloom rather than brightness over all whe see it without knowing the spirit which prcGominates within its tum- bling walls.
 And gloom is as far from true re- ligion as day from night. Cheer. :n all its abundance. is the creed that is taught: cheer Is the result of a true belief. It Is. Tn truth. the refuge for all once it Is frightened by faith.
 New Britain will hate to see old St. Marks church replaced by a modern commercial building when thinking superficialiq. People will be glad. op second Thoughts. that the business Of New Britain warrants the erection of great banking institution on the old site of the church; they will be glad that the condition of the spirit Of the old church warrants it's removal into a new home which in outward grace will typify the inward spirit that has inspired men to make possible its erection.
