DRIVE MEETING
SuCCESSAT '*U''
Estimate of Results so Far
Not Given; Work to Con-
tinue Saturday.

No estimate as to the results Of
the "Friendship" drive. now in prog
ress at the state university, could be
given early this afternoon since the
various solicitors are not to report in
to the central committee until tonight
or late Saturday. Indications. how.
ever, are that the drive is meeting
with good success, the students APP
%parently gladly doing their part In
contributing to help their fellow stu
dents in Europe.
q This drive has been started in con
nection with similar drives at colleges
and universities throughout the cOun-
try in response to a call for help sent
out by Herbert Hoover of the Ameri-
can Relief association. Conditions of
students in certain countries on the
European continent are such as to
almost prohibit further study on the
part of the young people.

MI SIC ON EMERALD ISLE.

Although opinions may differ on tho question of the Irish settlement; al- though politicians and people may continue discussion of the merits Of the agreement and although question may be raised whether or not the set tlement will be approved, there comes artistic atmosphere to the situation, which soothcs.
 One likes to think of music on the Emerald Isle; the loosening of laugh ter would be pleasant sound the echoes of which would float across the water and gratify people of this country no matter what their political stand, no matter where there syInpa- thies lie. Music of the human voice. of the instruments held in human hands, in the place of blood and suf- fering, brightens the whole world.
 This feeling comes from the news, which may seem to some of little significance, that the New Irish Na- tional Opera will open soon. Music will come, not in occasional bursts here and there throughout the coun- try, but from the recognized national source and once again, if plans do not fail, Ireland will sing.
 Thomas Egan. the Irish tenor, hav- ing finished his tour of this country at St. Paul almost simultaneously with the signing of the agreement, will return immediately to Dublin to assume the dictatorship oG the Ma tional Opera. The plans for the open ing had been held up awaiting q peaceful settlement with England of the country's troubles.
 It is the ardent hope that once again Ireland will sing,

 New York-Intercst in all kinds of builders hardware continues To be one of the most prominent facta on which to base estimates of future bus lness that the local market affords.

DAUGHERTY'S INVESTIGATION

The fact that the resident Of this city who has been most active in his fight to keep his jitneys running has surrendered his certificate on the ground that the route granted did not pay, is significant at this time.
 Simultaneously comes the news that Attorney General Daugherty will come to this state next week and make an investigation as to whether or not the trolley company, together with other former holdings of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railway company should be returned to it's former owners
 The question Immediately arises as to the effect such return, if made, would have upon the fight for lower fares on the troleys and the allowing of jitneys 10 operate in certain cases.
 It is certain that the state law uiy- ing control of the troIlcys and utncys to the public utilities commission would remain the law regarding them for time at least, Thore would be little change in the attitude of tho commission, if the commission be- lieves it has decided fairly and dccid,s fairly in the future As men are human there may enter the personal equation, and the desires Of tho rail- road may not be considered as worthy of consideration as are 'he wishes of the Connecticut company
 It is quite possible, too, that the railroad would look at the situation in a light differing somewhat from that in which 1t is seen by tho trustees of the company They the trustees. it must be remembered, realize and have --Alizad that their trust vas but d

the weather gets colder Prospects are for large amount of business be- ginning in the early spring and dcal- ers should make preparations for a big year fin builders hardware.
 While the demand for builders hardware Is still fairly heavy, the indications are that it will slump off from now on as a number of unions connected with the building industry have refused to accept the reduction of l2le cents an hour in wages recently doCreed by the wage board, and have discontinued work, The local architects having work out are Inclined to stop all operations un- less the reduction Is accepted and in a number of eases this has been done, It Is hoped that some arrangement can be reached with the offending union as the prospects for Il biz sea son of building were never brighter,
 Attorney General Daugherty's an- nouncement that he will pay an of fcial visit to Connecticut to ascer- tain at first hand whether the New Haven" road shall dispose of its sub sdiary and auxiliary transportation lines, gives rise to the hope that the people will soon be relieved of their trolley difficulties. The Connecticut company is now being administered by federal trustees who have claimed that they have been unable to dis pose of the property advantageously at present market values. The state ment that the trolley lines will show a surplus over operating expenses this year coupled with the coming of the attorney general is a pleasant augury. Ways and means may be found for disposing of the company to a syndi- cate which will pay more attention to giving the riding public service. It would require a wealthy combine to take over the system, however, as the company is several millions of dollars in debt. But the fact that the treas ury is beginning to hold real money once more could be held out as an inducement to capitalists to invest with confidence that. after a certain period of time returns would begin to come in.
 While ATr. Daugherty is in this neighborhood, means should be found to acquaint him with conditions on

 Without wishing to detfaCt in the slightest from the accomplishments of these tireless seekers after orders who are concentrating their rcsourceful- ness on breaking through buying re- sistance," we would like to call atten- ton to another class whose praises remain unsung, who have remained In the background quietly running up and down rows of eloquent figures, adding them, subtracting them, divid- ing them and making them jump through a hoop and stand on their heads We refer to the men who have had to solve the financial problems which every factory has had to battle with since the big crash.
 In every manufacturing town, these men have been burning the midnight oil, studying their own particular Sit uation. Their responsibility has been tremendous. On the one hand, they have had to care for their employees and families. On the other hand, they have had to take into consideration the stockholders whose money is in vested in industry How to keep a plant running protitably on a falling market without endangering the in has been the big ques- ton.

\ GOOD LAW.

Satisfaction may be felt that there Is to go into effect January 1, 1922, a law providing that the juvenile court sessions shall be held in a place apart from that in which police court mat ters are heard. The common coun- ell chamber is being considered, and those interested in the welfare of the young, as well as those whose duty it Is to see that youthful offenders are given reprimands, punishment or ad- vice, are taking pains to see that the spirit of the law as well as its letter will be observed.
 The atmosphere of the police court, where all sorts of persons of all ages, races and colors, and of both sexes appear, is most harmful for youth. Even after the court room is emptied there remains something of the dis agreeable air which has pervaded the place. which makes the sensitive shudder and which cannot fall to af- feet the young even though it be subconscious dread.
 It is difficult enough for men and women to think of inflicting punish ment on those who cannot fully real ize the wrong In the thing they have done, in those whose sense of pro- portion has not developed. It is far more difficult to think of these little more than children who have offend ed being brought to the same build ing where men and women of mature years are given the hearings the law provides for those accused of wrong.
 One may imagine the memory that might be carried through life by a boy, perhaps innocent of any wrong intention, but who must be shown that he has done wrong, of his first appearance fin court. Possibly he has met on the way some discharged per son who still bears the marks of the trouble which took him to the police court Perhaps the youth may over hear or see something that he will never forget. Many are the reasons why the atmosphere of the juvenile court should be quiet and cleanly, the hearing given those young prisoners who appear there free from all taint of indecency or vulgarity and that there remain no memory of the incl dent other than that, if guilty, they were told why they must be punished or why the must report to the proba- tion officer, or, if innocent they may have no recollection of the moment other than one which they may re- call as an example of the fairness and justice of the judge who represents. to them, the law of the land.
 The prime movers for a compuI- sory juvenile court in all cities in Connecticut were: Senators Delaney of Bridgeport and George W. Klett of New Britain. the respective chair men of the judiciary committees of the last two sessions of the legisla- lure.
