Buffalo, Dec. S.-,-Delcgates at the Fist annual meeting of the national association of professional baseball leagues went in what may be the clos ing session today with the admoni- tons of Commissioner K. M, Landis still ringing in their ears,
 Baseball he told them at tho nn- nual dinner last night has got to be better in it's morality because the ideals of fandom are the highest ideals" He warned against any un- due optimism lover the return from the slough into which we were pre- cipitated in the fall of 1920" adding that baseball is still on trial in Amer ica and will continue on trial as long as baseball is played"

NEED MILK FOR
 POOR CHILDREN
Welfare Assn. Needs Milk for
 UndeTnOuriShed Children

Members of the New Britain Well fare Workers association were ad- dressed at their regular meeting mercc rooms by Eugene Kemer, of the Lincoln Home association, for merly the Associated Charities, Of Waterbury, A number Of other peo- pie interested in welfare work attend ed the meeting.
 Mr. Kerner, in his address, said Waterbury, q city Of lOb,000 people, had at one time 10000 men out of work. This avs quite q problem for the charitable associations to handle. The association collected $l6,000, which lasted from January until March, when the city voted an ap- propriation of s250,o00 to continue the work This money is nearly gone now and there are still between 5000 and 4,O00 men unemployed.
 One of the ways in which the money was spent was by having the city pro- vide jobs in parks on streets and other places, and the association pay ing the wages to the men.
 Cooperation of the manufactur- CTS was secured and wherever pos siblc, when men were laid off, the single men were released tirst, and in cases where there were two people working in one family, one person was laid off. Others were given work on alternate weeks. This gave them enough money to buy food but no more. Landlords all over the city were compelled to wait for their rent. The problem of undernourshed children was taken up and handled by the association the best way it could, by supplying milk to the chill dren in schools. During the summer vacation milk was delivered at the homes. The Red Cross assisted large ly in this respect by contributing 35 per cent of the total war funds
 The New Britain Welfare associa- ton, which really takes the place of the Associated Charities here, and is the central charitable body through which practically all charitable organ izations work, is in need of milk for children and would welcome some manner of providing it.

Mr.. Martins Ability.

No one need fear about the ability Of
Mr.. Martin to discharge the duties OF
attorney general. He may not have
had the wide experience in state mat.
ters as some other lawyers but he has
the ability--and in public office ability
counts.
Allen Martin is lawyer of rare
judgment and has a thorough knowl-
edge OF law. His ability would soon
adapt itself to matters of state. While
aggressive in pushing matters for his
clients yet Mr. Martin is quite modest
in advancing his own political inter-
ests. II is not at all likely that he
would enter an aggressive compaign to
secure any Office. Such methods are
contrary to his ideals.
The ability of Mr.. Martin for a
statewide Office cannot be questioned
with sincerity. While not shouting
his knowledge from the house tops he
has every qualification for attorney
general and would serve in that Office
with credit to state and 10 himself

Christmas Tree Cutting.

When short of other material along
toward the holiday time OF the year
certain Vermont editors tip the barrel
and produce one of their. Christmas
tree cutting editorials. II is, however
a topic not confined to this state for
discussion. In Canada the accusation
that Christmas tree cutting is wicked
" and wantonly destroying the forests
of the dominion has brought forth q
decided denial from the dean Of the
University Of Toronto school Of for
estry.
There is,s says the dean. "a gener.
al misconeeption on this point. For
estry is a business and the forester
must look for profits for himself OF his
employer. II he can get from 10 TO %

wood, and II he can make money in

he is doing a perfectly legitimate bust

The dean Is further quoted as saying
that the guiding principle in forestry
i 20 see that wood production Il con-
tinuous for all time; 20 see that areas
that have been cut over shall come up
again 10 commercial trees, that arcs
that have been burned over shall be

while that is being numbered. the first
section will receive the attention Of
foresters and another commercial crop
grown. In this way, by rotation, the
college expects to make this territory
a source of. important and continued
income and there is no reason to think
the institution will be disappointed.
Trees grow and in time that. means
money. All one has to do il TO wait.
A college is continuing body and
time is not of much consequence. But,
of course, when only one cutting Is
looked for or provided this represents
a destruction Of natural resource,
and when under.sized trees are cut il
represents a double commercial loss.
There is this much justification for
the complaint against some part of the
Christmas tree slaughter in Vermont.

lacks verification and the gold has not
