ENGLAND HAS A NEW CLASS
NEW Poor" Is the Problem There
New-Hum6rumness of Life 10
Their Tragedy.

England has no nOuveau riche-the
new poor" is the class most referred
TO In England today. according to Miss
Ciarissa Spencer who has just re-
turned from London as representative
OF the overseas department of the Y.
w. Z. A. In addition to England
Miss Spencer visited European coun-
tries To further the work of the Y.
W. 9. a. in explaining their peoples
one to the other through the medium
Of their women.
Not starvation, nor homellness, but
The humdrumness of life Is the tragedy
Of great portion Of English young
women."N Miss Spencer says: "Young
men are few.
For most OF the girls who had
been engaged TO be married and for
many who had Just married ut the
opening OF the war. life now holds
little but the long years ahead. Some
of them. of course. will marry. But
many more will brave the endless sue
cession Of days. each the same color
us the last"
Few English girls are idle. Most Of
them earn their living now. What
has struck Miss Spencer so forcibly Is
that work, food and shelter become
meaningless to the vast number Of
England's girls who no longer look
ahead to homes Of their own.
Miss Spencer believes that not 80
many English girls are coming to this
country as are going to England's own
colonies.

The moving from the apartment

If the skeleton in n museum is n

Of stock. but here Is q ranch that Is
most widely known because of it's out

CAN'T RUSH TO sAGHALIEN
japanese Government Bars All but
Business Firms Approved BY
War Office.

There Will be no rush Of adventur-
ers to the new fields for exploitation
opened up by the japanese occupation
Of Russian Saghalien. according to Mr..
Aurakami; chief Of the fishery bureau
Of the department Of agriculture and
commerce, who Is quoted IN the 70
miur:
"None except those who really mean
business and are In a position to Sc
rbusly transact business Will find any
place for them In Saghalien." said NJ.
Aurakami "All rights there are in
the hands Of the military command,
and anyone that wants to 90 there.
now must obtain a permit from the
war ONCE. Certainly the forests there
will yield plenty Of wood pulp and
othee raw material, while there are
rich coat mines and possibly, oil wells.
But the chief product Of that region Is
the output Of the fisherles.'
Speaking Of the fishing rights in Sag
halien, Mr.. Murnkami said that after
consultation with the army command
an auction was conducted at Niko-
laievsk for those rights over which the
army command Is able to furnish pro.
lection. No detailed report Of the auc-
ton has been received. The bidders
had to file their applications with a
deposit to guarantee their good faith,
and they had to be persons who were
qualified by long experience in fish
cries in that neighborhood.

table business establishments have

utations might suffer III mad scram-

Mosquitoes Dislike Swampa.

Recent experiments prove that, con-
trary to the general belief, mosquitoes
do not thrive and multiply In foul,
stagnant water. In fact, mosquito lar
vac actually lose vigor and die when
surrounded by decomposed vegetation.
Whether this Is due to bacterial ac-
ton on the larvae or to an excess Of
injurious gas due to the decomposition
has not been ascertained. At any
rate. swamps are not guilty Of encour-
aging mosquitoes. and clearing these
swamps does harm.-Fopnar Sci

q MASS. CITIES VOTE ON LICENSE QUESTION Voters Asked to Sanction Sale of 2.75 Per Cent
 Beverages.

Boston. Dec. 7.-Twenty one cities
 of the state voted today on the local
 option questions of licensing the sale
 of intoxicating liquors. and of licens- ing the sale of non-intoxicating liquors containing less than 2:75 per cent.
 alcohol. Simultaneously the state leg
 islature met in a special sesion that will be called upon to revise the statutes covering these questions to conform with the federal prohibition laws. Expression of preference as to the sale of intoxicating liquors has been given at city elections for years, but the vote on the local sanction of 2.75 per cent. beverages was taken for the first time, the state law having been passed by referendum at the last election. Governor Coolidge regards both measures as in conflict with the 18th amendment and the Volstead act and has asked for their repeal.
 Two sports laws also were submitted to local option. On the ballot in all the cities was the question whether amateur sports and games should be allowed on Sunday and whether the cities should accept the act establish ing a state boxing commission without which professional sparring matches cannot be held. Some of the cities have enjoyed the provisions of these laws since their passage by the last legislature through temporary action by their municipal governments. -
 The elections today were the first In which women had the vote for all local offices and the legislature was expected to take emergency action to make them eligible to hold municipal offices. Women appeared as candi- dates in several places.

FINED FOR BAD CHECKS

brdgcport Man fays $oO and costs
 lawyer Explains Unusual Cir cumstanccs fin His Case.
 Drawing checks on an anticipated &bank account that did not materialize proved bad business for c. Apple duist whose adjourned case was tried this morning in police court before Judge John H. Kirkham. He was fined $50 and costs. Two orders one for s22 and one for SIT were made upon the Bridgeport Trust company by the accused: subsequently, they were deposited in the New Britain Trust conp pany and shortly thereafter the Bridgeport banking house refused to honor the papers. explaining that the drawee had never opened an ac- count at that bank. Joseph Cherchef- sky, a local merchant who had cashed the checks notified the authorities and the arrest of AppIequist followed.
 The accused is a resident of Bridge port and is an automobile accessory salesman. Through his attorney, Lawyer Cronin of Bridgeport, he ex- pla'ned that he had secured the en- dorsement of a prominent Park city business man to a note by which he was to negotiate n loan After order ing that the money be placed to his account at the Bridgeport Trust bank he came to New Britain. On october IS he drew the s22 check and on October 19. the SIT check, feeling that both would be honored. When he found the checks had not been honored, Applequist placed money in the hands of his attorney with which to make good the accounts but he was arrested before retribution could be made.
