SPANISH PRIEST
 CALLS ON MAYOR
Latter Is Satisfied There Is 10
 Prejudice

That the discrimination in the mat ter of giving work to Spanish resi- dents by the city labor board, if there is any discrimination, is justified, in the opinion of Americ ca nization Direc- tor Jamea F. O'Brien, following a conference with Mayor Curtis.
 MT. OBrien, who is acting unoffi- cially as friend following an appeal by the Spanish priest several days ago, is doing all he can to alleviate the poverty stricken condition of these people. He was accompanied by the priest upon his visit to the mayor yesterday.
 T find the city is doing all that ia possible said MT. O'Brien in an in terview this morning. There are more than 5000 men looking for work and only 100 jobs to give out. Of the 5000 who are out of work, many of them are longtime residents Of New Britain. citizens and taxpayers" The Americanization director said he thought the Spanish people should figure out way to take care of them selves. He has plan in mind where by they may organize a sort of racial | charitable organization for their mu- tual benefit.

SPANISH BOY ADOPTS GASOLINE STATION
Is Out Of Work Needs Enough
 / to Exist

A pitiful drama is being enacted at on South Main street, and it all cen- ters around a good looking young Spanish boy of about 17 who is many miles from his native city, Madrid. For four days the boy has been ap- bearing at the station doing his best to earn only a place to sleep and enough food to keep body and soul to. gether. He doesn't understand Eng fish, and to say the least, he ia not very useful but MT. Clark says that he cannot see the young boy go hun gry, so he gives him enough so that he may have an even break in strug- gle for existence.
 Thursday, the lad was taken to the Spanish colony, and the leader was told that the boy was of no use at the filling station, and that he was not wanted there. Friday morning at ' o'clock the boy was at the station again for it was place where he could eat, at least.
 Before going to the gasoline station he worked for ''Tippy' Fay on his express wagon, but he was too young to be of much use at that heavy work and he evidently saw that he couldn't fulfill the requirements of a first-class trunk 'juggler," so he adopted the gasoline station as haven for for saken souls.
 The boy appears sad to the observ- CT, and there is no reason why he shouldn't be. He is far away from home, he doesn't speak the language of this country, and last and worst of all, he is working for nothing out side of board and keep. He is willing to be a peon or serf, so bad is his present state. Maybe he knows that he ia not wanted at the station, and if that is the case, his lot is doubly hard to endure. With all his fighting spirit, the boy sometimes has a far off Iook-he cannot express his thoughts but it is a bet with odds that he is thinking of his parents in Sunny Spain," and wondering what he has done to deserve this life of trouble, toll and theoretical slavery for the time being. He also ia wondering. no doubt just why some of his friends in Madrid called America the land of opportunities.

COntentment

1t is an old maxim that our enjoyment of life
is not derived from what we take out of it, but
from what we put into it in the way of sacrificial
service and helpfulness. Few of us, however,
live up to that principle or manifest it in our
lives.
The approaching holiday, with its message of
good will and peace recommends this truth to
our consideration and asks us to make life better
and sweeter by exercising the virtues of charity
love and kindness toward others, well as by
teaching us to be contented and happy in our
own spheres and walks of life.
Many believe they could be happy if they
could enjoy the advantages which others have
or had enough money to satisfy every desire Of
their hearts. They forget that other thousands
envy them their lot in life, and believe that they
have everything needful for enjoyment and con-
tentment.
Happiness, after all, is something relative
and depends in a great measure on the person
himself. Take the little waif, who, on Christmas
day, receives only one little toy, say drum or
doll, and yet with sparkling eyes and joyous

shouts is as happy as some adult who has re-
ceived gift costing hundreds.
That poor little child has been exalted into
heaven by gift costing few cents, while the
recipient of a costly jewel, perhaps, has ac-
copied it with only slight degree of enthusiasm,
and with dissatisfied heart envies some one who
has received twice as much.
Or again some person accepts with heartfelt
thanks a small token, which would be spurned
by some more fortunate person who looks only
at the value of the gift and not at the motive
back of it.
COntentment is a virtue which few OF us seem
to appreciate or to value. We place no value on
our good health, boon which scores OF i'll per-
sons would prize far beyond their jewels and
other luxures. We underestimate our ability as
artisans and mechanics our enjoyment of out OF
door life our pleasure in books paintings and
music forgetting that they contribute to our
we'll being and are genuine sources OF pleasure,
which some cannot enjoy and utilize.
If every person made an inventory OF himself,
he probably would be surprised at the number OF
his own advantages as compared with those
of another, and he probably would admit that he,
too, has many things for which he can be thank
full.
A contented disposition of mind that serenely
pursues the pilgrimage of life, accepting with
calm RESIGNATION the ups and downs of the jour
ney, knowing that sunshine always follows storm
and tempest and that to each is given his cross
and crown, is something all Of us should develop,
1t would make us less prone to discover the
faults of others, or to envy their lot, and more
willing to spread happiness and JOY on htes
pathway.

this ugly shrapnel wound in the hip
and besides a bullet wound in one arm.
He almost forgot to mention the latter
disability. the doctor said.
1t was also found that he had not
fully recovered from a sort of paraly-
sis OF the throat, arms and legs. The
vet said that he had always been too
busy to file a claim for compensation,
before, but that while working in the
mountains he saw poster announc-
ing that the cleanup squad was COM
ing TO Stockton so he decided to go
there for an interview. He was rated
as 80 per cent. disabled and Therefore
entitled to $40 a month compensation.
When the cleanup squad sat in
Hartford. Conn, a veteran came before
it. He showed the doctors of the squad
a wound in his left side that made
them stand aghast The head of the
cleanup squad was called into the
room, and he, too, admitted that IN
his crowded experience in the depart

he had never seen such a CHASTITY
wound. This soldier had not received
a penny of allowance since his dis
charge over two years ago.
An explosive bullet had opened a
wound across his left side. just above
the hip, over IA inches long, and had
forced the hip out so that the cavity
was from to inches deep. 1t had
not yet fully healed and the veteran
applied for compensation inasmuch
as he was unable to work.
Humorous incidents come to light
in connection with this work as the

Like many other varieties of govern
ment officials working in the field, the
representatives of the bureau found
themselves frequently handicapped by
the fact that people believed they were
revenue officers looking for stills.
The bureau sent its representatives
into all parts of the country, resolved
to find every veteran of the war who
had a claim for compensation and give
him his due.
Over $4,000 disabled ex-service men
have been interviewed since August,

these veterans indicated that claims
should be filed, and government re-

Veterans bureau who had preceded
the squads for the purpose of making
the advance arrangements was picked
up by group of men in an automo-
bile who offered TO take him to his
destination. He accepted the offer
and got in the car but he had to rest
his heels on several demijhons Of
corn Ticker" The trip was interrupt
ed in several places while deliveries
were being made.
In Buchanan, Va, man who had his
lace almost blown away by a gasoline
explosion in France told the cleanup

that he was entitled TO compensation
because 'he wasn't any hero and didn't
get shot, but just got blew up trying

He was born Oct. Il, 1851; was a
dry goods clerk in Baltimore in 1868
and got to Wall street in 1870. He
got control OF the street railways of
New York and various other cities,
big coal fitlds in Ohio and West Vir
ginia, tobacco interests and a lot of
other things before he resigned from
80 directories in 1908. Among his
acquisitions was the control of the
stock OF the Equitable Life in 1905,
which led to the famous insurance in
vestteation which made Charles Evans
Hughes d state and national figure.
He is q Catholic, a Democrat and has
been a delegate to Democratic con

raised on the farm upon which Ryan
