nEFACING STATUE.

The Eiihu Burritt statue opposite the High school is constantly being defaccd by pencil and chalk marks and many written or printed words Some of these words are unfit for publication.
 If Is not to he presumed that-the school students arc doing it. Undoubt- edy they know better. It is possible. however. that some Of them are the guilty ones.
 On the presumption that some of the pupils have thus defaced the statue it is necessary to denounce such action. If the teachers. some of whom must have noticed the defacing marks and words. have not taken the matter up. they should do so. Young people go to school to learn thingJ other than the capital cities of forI etgn states. There is such n thing as decency. IT the pupils themselves do not realize the meaning Of the word they should he taught, 1t matters not whether they arc in High school Grammar school or College.
 There Is no intention to upbraid the teachers of the High school for negIecting to call ther pupils atten- ton to this matter. Probably they have done SO. or probably the manner attitude and incidental example of the teachers has been sufficient to teach propriety to their pupils. Reverence for n celebrated man who has achiev- eel and whose memory is deserving Of perpetuation in the form of a statue K one of the things that all educated persons should learn.
 May IL be seen to that all school pupils learn of 1t with such emphasis that there will be no defacing of such statues by school students.
 The police are the ones who should protect such statues from disfigure- ment by people other than school pupils--and by them also. for that matter. The situation is called to their attention us one of the many duties they nave 10 perform. difflcult as it

things--they cannot help themselves in regard to d matter of this kind be- cause many Of them do not under stand. and are not familiar with the necessary steps to be taken.
 It Is an inspiration. therefore. to see Council and prominent citizens work ing for tho welfare of the city whose people it represents. Or for whose people they care. in cause of this kind Probably most of those who have brought this hospital into being will never have cause tc make use Of it They have large homes, many of them. where complete isolation and competent nursing with medical care will protect and heal the patient in their family. Yet they made of 1t a personal mattcr-and the laws made life more hopeful for these less fortunate. New Britain should con- gratulate itself on the numbering among its citizens such men. including its Mayor and members of the Coun- cil whose thoughts arc not entirely for self.

SELLING CHILDREN.

The report comes that the. starving
 people of China are selling theil | children. A fair was held recently
 where children were the exhibits Boys brought two dollars. and girls if somewhat mature and pretty brought more.
 This report is repeated as no propa- ganda for contribution to any Chinese relief fund. Ono is inclined to feel that the children SO sold will be better off possibly with those who bought them than with parents willing to sell them.
 This might bc true if if were not for the awful thought that the children would be treated as slaves. no consideration shown them. and, worst of all they will probably be considered as mere living bodies bought for whatever purpose their purchasers wish.
 The report brings no wringing of the heart for the adults. And yet there may be the same anguish at parting with their little ones that would possess other peoples. But Americans would not part with them unless it were to secure the welfare of the children. It Is conceiva ble. that Il man or woman might part with his or her offspring knowing that he or ah for the child. But it is inconceivable thai parent would accept money for the child. unless for the benefit of other children. if there remained n spark of human love in the parents heart.
 The most charitable explanation of the reported fact Is that the Chinese are crazed by the awful situation in which they find themseIyes and know not what they do.
 It Is said that soup kitchens must be established all through the suffer- ing aroa. The Red Cross has appro- prlatod half million dollars already to aiding tho sufferers and will prob ably give more.
 Meanwhile the children are being sold. The news stands out above all political matters. above all reports of catastrophes. What will stop the terrible crime against not only against the children but against hu- manity.

CAREFUL DRIVING is
DUTY OF MOTORISTS
Driver Should Always Be WgiIant
to Avoid Accident.
Maintenance of Car in Good Condition
Is Next Consideration and Free
quent Inspection, Especially of
Wheels, Is ,NeedfuI.

Prevention Of accident Is the ever
present duty Of all motorists. The
| driver should always be vigilant to
prevent disaster. Careful driving is,
of course, the first consideration, the
idea being to always avoid risk.
Next comes the maintenance of the
car in good condition. This requires
frequent inspection, especially Of the
| wheels. Wheel trouble is too fire.
quently overlooked and the condition
of. the spokes neglected. Loose spokes
| make the car unsafe in sudden emer-
| gencies, with terrible results in some
cases.
The first indication Of loose spokes
are sQueaks and paint cracks where
the spolles join at the hub or rib. The
cracks show that the wood has shrunk.
If not attended to promptly, the
spokes work looser, till the stability
Of the wheel is seriously impaired.
Then, at a critical moment, the wheel
collapSes.
The motorist should always take
time to see that the wheels Of his
car are in good running order, for
still Otler reasons. 1t is much easier
and less expensive to correct defects
in their early stages than later on.
Again, unsound and insecure wheels
cause all other parts of the car to de-
teriOrate more rapidly than they would
otherwise. If the wheels do not run
true the tires soon wear out, the
chassis is warped out of shape and the
foundation on which the motor rests
weakens SO that the mechanism works
under unnecessary and ruinous strain.
Neglected wheels soon reduce a car
to condition of useless junk, where
as a little care Jas occasion demands
adds greatly totits life. pleasure and
security.
