wrangel With General Weygand now being sent to direct the armies it is plain that tho wisdom of making early preparations against such a coneentra- ton as the bolsheyiki can be expected to make on the southern front is recog- nized Certainly if anyone can SO or ganize General wrangeFs forces and di- rect his operations as to win the famous French general is fully equipped to do it.
 Reports of conditions in Russia are not encouraging for the strongest resist ance by the soviets. Whether these are exaggerated should be quickly deter mined by the action taken against Gen eral wrangers position Relieved of the Polish offensive the bolsheviki should be able, if their fighting strength is not seriously impaired, to turn the tables there though it will not do to underesti- mats the effect of the French influence in that quarter.

THE SALE OF THE POST.

In the past several years many news papers have gone out of business or been absorbed. Some. of the oldest and best known have changed hands, been merged with others or given up the task of meeting conditions. Connecticut has not suffered as some other sections of the to do the impossible has been recog- nized by the Hartford Post after an ex- tstence of 64 years and with the pur- chase by the Hartford Times there is the same recognition of the trouble that has been encountered by newspapers Nir New York, St. Louis, Philadelphia and many other cities
 The acquisition by The Times removes a competitor in the evening field though such competition can by no means be advanced as the reason for the absorp tion. This will leave Hartford with bu two daily papers and the deal comes just as The Times has occupied it's new and attractive home which will hence forth be one of the show places of tn city.
 l The Post has had its ups and downs It has swung from the morning to tn, evening field and been both partisan and independent. It was to the Pos that the late Isaac Bromley went iron his successful etlitorship of The Bulletin Iway back in the late sos. Many mel of state and national prominence hay been identified with The Post from frs to last but in spite of all the effort and money laid out on it it was not

A New Reason for Borrowing.

The other day a stranger entered a bank and asked to borrow s5. He was
 told that the. bank did not lend such small sums.
 But" he went on, Tending money is your business, isn't it?" The banker. admitted that it was.
 Well, have good security" said the stranger, land I want to borrow $5." Finally the banker, half from fatigue and half from amused curiosity, agreed to make the loan. When the note was all drawn and the interest of 35 cents paid the stranger drew from his pocket ,oOO worth of government bonds and handed them over as security. Before the banker could express his astonishment, the stranger said:
 Now, this is something like it. Over at another bank they wanted me to pay S10 for a safety deposit box to keep these things in."

How To Recognize the Condition

The presence of adenoids should be suspected if the child habitually sleeps with open mouth, snores a great deal, or has frequent strangling coughing spells Sleeping with open mouth is one of the first signs and should therefore lead at once to careful examination by a phy- sician. Sometimes difficulty in hearing is one of the early symptoms. Therefore, in all cases of ear trouble an examination should be made for for adenoids

Adenoids

Nature intends that we should breathe through the nose and has so arranged matters that the air is strained, warm ed and moistened as it passes through the nose This is very important
 Unfortunately 1 0per cent. or more of fere with free breathing through the nose. So many serious results follow this condition that parents should learn something about adenoids 2. and their treatment.
 What Are Adenoids
 Inasmuch as adenoids are tucked away up behind the palate, and are therefore out of sight, it may be well to study the picture shown above.
 The air pas into the lungs as shown by the arrows. At the place marked "A IT. nature has provided a kind of moist cushion which helps to filter impurities out of the air. This cushion is formed of what doctors call "adenoid tissue and is similar to that which makes up the ton sis W { this adenoid tissue grows ab- normal large it forms what are known as l "adenoids From the position of these ] adenoids as shown on the diagram it will readily be seen how easily they interfere with proper nasal breathing.
 What Adenoids Do | One of the first results of the growth i of adenoids is mouth breathing When
 this condition develops the air breathed
 in reaches the throat and lungs in an un- i purified condition Moreover, it is not
 sufficiently warmed or moistened In 8

What to Do

Whenever adenoids- are large enough to give .Sise to any of the symptoms al- ready described, they should be removed. This. is especially the case of children under 10 years of age, for it is probable that the condition will grow worse. The operation is simple and not dangerous. 1t should be performed under anesthesia. Relief is immediate and strength of the child usually improves rapidly after wards. It is wrong to delay having the operation done, for the presence of ade- holds not only endangers the chfld's health, but a few months delay may cause considerable malfor1nation of the jaws, palate, nose and face.

INDUSTRIAL CONFERENCE
SCORED BY D. c. B|CCS
Unfair to Labor Like Colorado
System, Asserts Agent of
Journeymen Tailors.

To the Editor Of The Star:
The industrial conference for set
Ting labor disputes asks for criticism
OF its plans.
First. let attention be called to
the unfairness of selecting this con-
ference committee without a single
laboring man on it, although labor
is the vital thing involved. Right
in the start labor is snubbed, while
secrecy takes the place of open COW
enantS.
This tentative plan is an elabora-
ton of the Colorado Industrial COM
mission law, a vicious law that ties
men to their jobs for long periods
of time while employers exploit them.
1t is a law, specious and fair on
it's face. that established modified
peonage in that state.
Cites Case in Colorado.
Under such laws, adroitly worded
by men who are not laborers, but
whose interests generally are the op-
posite. labor can be delayed and bait
ed and unions wrecked. 1t worked
out that way in Colorado. l had five
months experience with that COM
mission there. Justice was a farce.
Cases We're willfully delayed. Labor
dared not strike till its case was dis
posed of. The case of the journey
men tailors could have been heard in
five days. The commission purposely
delayed it five months. Other cases
were held up almost year.
That condition could and probably
would obtain under the proposed re-
gional plan of this conference of pro-
fessors, lawyers. politicians and big
employers; not one of them can have,
or will have, the keen insight to what
labor needs for it's protection.
Under the plan proposed, persons
hostile to labor could, and probably
would. soon dominate the whole ma

Surprising Result in spen Valley

foresee such a victory, although preAl

elections had shown the unsuspected'
strength of their adherents in every
mart of the country, even in the most
nxrely agricultural districts.
The turnover of votes has been
very heavy on every occasion Where
Iaborite has entered the fight dur
ing the recent by-elections.
This time a laborite in the Spen
valley Increased the poll from S,50S to
1861. while in Plymouth the laborite
vote rose from 1924 to 1892. and at
Rusholme, from 2,9s5 to 6,412. At

been mo labor candidate. in the late
by-election the labor candidate

uncontested seat secured S,908 votes.
