NINE POINTS OF THE LAW.

1t has been said that success In
litigation requires a good deal of pa
tience, good deal of money, a good
cause, good lawyer, good counsel,
good witnesses, a good jury, a good
judge, and, last but not least, good
luck. But the saying is really part
OF the proverb which says that "pos-
session is nine points of the law"
and that anybody is welcome to the
tenth If they can get anything out

 Mrs. Samuel O. Prentice, chairman of the women's a9yieory committee of the Connecticut republican state central committee has sent the following notices to the heads of the won1en's committees of the different towns as follows:
 At a meeting of the womens advisory and field committees of the Connecticut republican state central committee, held in Hartford on Friday, October 9th, the following resolution was unanimously adopted:
 In this year, when the integrity and the safety of America, both in it's na- tional and foreign relations, depends so acutely upon the restoration of an Amer ican form of government, the republican women of Connecticut are alive to the necessity of whole-hearted earnest work on the part of every one in the state to insure that restoration by the election of republican national and state admins tration.
 We call upon all Connecticut women te vote to help elect a president who will allow the country once more to be di reeted by the three branches of govern ment provided by our Constitution wht will return to congress it's constitutions powers; who will appoint as heads oi 1 the departments of government out standing men who will administer the na l tions aaffirs with honesty ability anC

prsREeARprNG MAKrNE ACT.

~ Four months ago when the merchant marine act was passed by congress and signed by President Wilson there was given to the president the appointment of the members of the board. After a long delay, during which the board has been obliged to get along with a few members while important matters were being dealt with, most of the members have been named. Immediately there was a resignation by Pacific coast ap- poihtee and now there comes the an- nouncemeht by Theodore Marburg of Baltimore that he cannot accept place on the board leaving four to be select cd
 In the appointment of shipping board members it would naturally be expected that men who are qualified to handle such problems as would confront a board of that character and who know some thing about shipping would be named. That MT. Marburg is man of ability in a different line is not questioned but he has had no experience with the intricate problems of shipping
 The appointments made to the board and recently announced seem to have been in the nature of rewards for politi- cal w9Tk rather than for fitness. It was | expectsd that the majority of the board would be democrats but in the naming of Mir. Marburg, as a republican member the president >isregarded the fact that he had months ago declared for Mir Cox and inasmuch as he was on demo- cratic platform when he got notice of l the appointment 1t is not surprising that l he should hasten to resign.
 l Such efforts to name a board and the l fact that some who have been named are | not likely to be confirmed indicate that 1 the president Is not anxious for the board to get into operation any more than he is willing to carry out the pro- visions of the merchant marine act which is a law and which he has signed

THE GROWING CHILD

SEX EDUCATION,

The question of sex education Is one that troubles the majority of thinking parents. There comes a time in the life of every child when he awakens to a re- alization that life must have a beginning
 Fortunate, indeed is the mother who is prepared to answer this first question and so provide the foundation for conf- dence between mother and child. If the question is ignored or is answered un truthfully an irrepairabie injury has been done to the child.
 The wise mother (and fathers, also for this is not alone a woman's prob- lem) prepare themselves in advance SC they are ready when a question comes no matter what the age of the child There is no excuse for ignorance now on the part of parents as there was ter years ago, for in the last few years the country has been flooded with literatur, which is to be found in the book stores and public libraries or furnished free or application to the state board of health or U. S. Public Health Service.
 The parent who neglects to be ready to answer the questions that are bound to come may rest assured that the chilc will obtain his information from som' other source. and entirely wrong idea may be inculcated which will inhuenc the entire future of the child.
 In his progress through childhood tn child comes in contact with many agen cies such as the schools, churches pres i and various other organizations. Throug | these, he obtains much accurate know edge bearing upon sex hygiene but whs effect this information has upon hin whetherIt is wholesome or otherwise, de bends upon the early attitude of his par ents. If they are ignorant, careless c prudish and cloak the subject with my. tery a morbid curiosity probably will aroused which may lead him to unhealtt ful practices, but if the subject is handle
 with frankness and reverance very Iii tie information serves to satisfy the chil
 and start him on his road to normal an healthful adolescence.
