ABOUT ARNIORIE.S.

Connecticut cities need large halls in which scmi-public gatherings may be held. New Britain faces a great lack in this respect.
 The armory in this city seems to he the logical place to hold such gather ings. It should be available at suita- ble rental.
 The new emergency board which vii take the place of Brigadier Gen eral Lucien F. Burpee and Colonel
 Benedict NJ. Holden. whose resigna- tions have been rendered to Governor the situation. In this city such organ izations as the Masons. Elks. Y. M. T. A. & F. organizations have sought to rent the armory. Their appeals have been refused by General Burpee.
 While General Cole. as head of the Connecticut National Guard was in charge of the various armories. the Arch street building was often rented for fairs. dances and public meet ings. When the Military Emergency fSOhIu, W1tn 6cneFal buTDee aI us head took over this work after the State Militia had been Fcderalized, the policy was changed and such or were refused the use of the armory.
 In New Britain today there is but one place where such semi-public gu herings may be held. This will soon be unavailable owing to plans of the recent purchaser.
 It is to be hoped that the new board will follow the policy Of General Cole and will alter that or the retiring officers.
 Tho Masons are planning to erect n large building in which there will be a hall which will meet most of Inc needs of this city. But mean while we are in the position indicat- ed. with no immediate relief in sight.

FOR THE BONUS.

The Eddy Glover Post or the Am crican Legion went on record last night as favoring the bonus for ex- service men. The question was put up to the post It was asked to vote "Ycs'' or No" on the matter.
 In broad sense each man in the post was Asked 10 register his opin- ion as to whether or not his com rades. as well as he himself. deserved this recognition from n state which protited financially to great extent through the war in which each serv- lee man did his part.
 No matter how idealistic man might be or how little he might wish to say that he himself deserved a bonus from the state or that he asks for one. 1t is difficult to see how he could say No. those who served and won the fight, but who lost per aonally in their own affairs-do not deserve this recognition from the state"
 With the fear that the granting of a bonus might give to some a handle OH which to hang advocating the abol- | ition Of the fund now existing in this state the income of which is yiven to those in financial or other distress, l there was considerable argument at | tho meeting of last night by those who possessed this fear. It was evil | dent, even among those most insist | ont upon tho granting of the bonus, that tho ex-seryico mans first thought | is for those who fought and have | or otherwise.
 But through all the arguments the | question remained the same. should
