OUR ATHLETES vIC-roRs.

Give the credit of winning the great war to whomsoever one will, the world has proclaimed the athletes from this country as winners of the Olympic games by a wide margin.
 The same spirit of Do" which brought honor and success to our sol- diers was in the hearts of the men who represented us on field and track.
 The same spirit lies latent fin the heart Of every true American. and if the heart and reason and head of every true American were always to rule this country there would be little of the trouble that has protvpded its ugly head above the normal level of peace and happiness which has been tho possession of this country for so long a time.
 Our men won! Three worlds re- cords were broken and there would have been more had the weather been better the latter part Of the time dur ing which the games were run off. Salwart. vital America so far outshone her competitors that the latter were scarcely to be called such in the con- tests that have just ended.
 Finland came second with a little less than half the points scored by Americans. and Sweden a close second to Finland. The latter country got off to a fine start by winning all three places in the hurling of the tavelin. Great Britain had to be content with fourth place, despite her fame as country which produces men of fine physique and ability to contest with great physical and mental determina- tion.
 First the soldiers of the United States shone against the enemy. Their coming to the rescue of the foes of the Central Powers saved the day. Their, theory was Attack. attack" and 1t was their attack that won. Now come our athletes. keeping up the rec ord and even astonishing the world hy their prowess. Spectacled students, some of them. yet possessing those qualities of which we are so proud.

RAT FACTS.

When news comes concerning that awful creature, the rat. which is as interesting as that given out by Sur geon General Cummings. one cannot be blamed for pausing in considcra- ton of the League of Nations. the political candidates and local happen inFs. to digest those facts.
 In the first place he tells us that the cost of food for rats is n cent n day for every person in the United States. That means Of course, that some people pay great deal more than pay nothing at all because they have nothing for the rat to steal from their larders. And with the living cost so high. too. It Is awful to contemplate. How much do you suppose you are paying to support some rat or family of rats. You had better sead on.
 The Surgeon General says there IS Il rat for every person in the country or course every person does not tako care of the rat that belongs to him. The whole thing is unfair. Some peo- pie arc forced to watch out for lots of rats while some arc entirely free from them. How unjust are things anyway. Suppose you have no rat at all and someone else's rat comes along and gives you the bubonic plague? |? Perhaps 1t you had taken care. of your own rat: he would have bought off the disease carrying pest. Or per- haps your own rat will give it to an- other person. If you had taken care of him. he would not have become infected with the germ and there would have been another sufferer the less
 But tho point of the matter is that tho Surgeon General has plans to build rat-proof buildings. dwelling places and wharves. Thus, if hts plans are adopted. there will be millions of rats driven onto the streets and away from the protected buildings. Those rats may decide that you are a good candidate on which to fasten themselves. So you had better look into thoso plans and see if you cannot arrange to be one of the protected ones.
 After a while, of course, if we all protect ourselves like that the rats will die off and there will be no more bubonic plague. That would be nice. Meanwhile 1t will be wise to guard against the homeless rats that will be driven into the highways and by ways. Look up Surgeon General Cum mings' plans. He is not our Our Homer" whose intersts lie in a diff ferent direction.

mand that Mayor Curtis go into de- tails regarding the alleged unbusi- nesslike actions of the claims com mittee.
 When a reprimand to an individual or to a body comes from the chair full knowledge of all sides of the case on the part of the one making the caustic remarks. Mayor Curtis possibly has a reason for making the ties and the manner of performance of duty of a committee made up of those elected by the people to serve under the Mayor. If he has. and it is a good one, the committee de- serves what if got. But-for the sake of the people whom the Mayor and the Council serve. that reason should be explained. the case should not remain with pure criticism as it's only aspect. If the councilmen have failed it should be so demonstrated. if not, the Mayor owes them a re- traction as public as his criticism.
 Mccormack evidently wishes the matter threshed out and made fully applicable to all of the people. Per haps he will gain his wish, let us hope so. The Comnion Council of the City of New Britain presided over by the Mayor of the municipality, should be a dignified and august body. should be dropped for the common good. and where sighting remarks should not be made unless there is a distinct reason for the same.

COMMUNICATED.
AS TO BALD GAMES.

New Britain Herald,
 Dear Sirs:-
 Please print this as a communica- tion for today's Herald.
 Tn last Saturday nights edition4~of The New Britain Herald reference was made by The Observer as to lack of a first class semi-professional ball team to represent our city on the diamond to battle against all the fastest clubs to be engaged in or out of the state.
 A series has just been started be- tween two of our leading local teams and feeling runs high among the re- spective team supporters
 It would seem proper to me, as a regular attendant at our Sunday games on the Pioneer field to have an interesting account of the game in the press, or at least have the lineup and summary.
 It was announced at the first game last Sunday that notice would be made as to following games through the press. Then in my humble esti- mation the press should keep its in terested readers posted in the games as they proceed. It is not my con- tention to insinuate that The Herald is partial but lately we have looked for summa rics about the Pioneer games which have been very abbrevi- ated and I don't like the write-up at all as it was much too critical on one point and not encourag ging on other features of the game. For the sake of booming our local and present day teams I would like to see a Her. aid representative at the future games and gratify the readers of the sport ing page.

"JEST RUNuNATIN'." !"
 (Robert Russell.)

They tell us never start a thing that you can't finish up: n'ere fill a bumper if you knows that you can't drain the cup. O. course the aspect O the thing may change when you're half thorugh, but that should make no difference at all in what you do. Keep ever at it; if you fails you've done the best you can. an more is not expected nor from angels nor from man. A failure is failure, though, an it seems pretty wise, to know these principles ahead an guard against surprise. Queer quirks will sure develop an you should allow for that-you ought to allus fight if in the ring you've throwed your hat. Then when the battles over, if. you're happy, if you're sad you've got the consolation that you've give the best you had. The comfort you may git from that may be extremely small, but that poor consolation beats your havin' none at all. My pipe smokes up fair wistful- like; it ain't so bright today. There's folks that lives an dies" it says, that has no other way O gainin' peace as long, dark years O living pass away. He kept his star before him till the day on which he died,' may be his cpl taph--an' you-you'll know, at least, you tried"
