H. s. DABBLERS TO
 MEET TOMORROW
Will Pick Out List of Authors Who Will Be Studied During
 Winter

The "Dabblers'' will hold their first meeting tomorrow evening on the fourth floor of the Y. M. e. A. building for the purpose of organ 1zlng. At the same time the club will decide on the authors to be discussed during the winter season. Other business, such as nights for meetings, will also be decided at this first as- sembly of the organization. This meeting is open to anyone who is interested, or desires to become in terested in books.
 The "Dabblers'' were organized for the first time a year ago for the purpose of learning more about books and authors. Arthur S. Hancock, teacher of English at the local High school, is the leader of the group and membership is open to anyone male or female who has reached the age of discretion,' or, as MT. Hancock says, from IS to 80." It makes no difference whether one is a college graduate or whether one has even finished High school, or not. People from both these groups were repre- sented in the club last year.
 Nights for meetings will be deter mined by those who attend, although some consideration will be given the present membership. Last year the meeting night was Tuesday of each l week.
 The types of books and authors to
 be discussed will be entirely in the hands of the members. Those in the club at the present time have ex- pressed a preference for British poe try beginning with Robert Burns, al- though the novel and drama of Am | erica were also dipped into during | the last season. American poetry and
 the modern drama in general were | discussed last year to some extent. Using tie exact words of MT. Han

THE RUM RUNNERS OF THE
 STATE-NOT HARTFORD.

It is with considerable interest that we read in the upright and honorable Hartford Courant every morning, in- cluding Sundays, of the horrible con- dition of the cities of the state in re- gards to rum runners. New Britain is, of course, the worst of the of lenders, but the Courants activities in exposing" the ring are by no means confined to New Britain. No indeed, many other places are men, tioned. The wonder of it is that the sesteemed journal with so much solici- tude for the welfare of its readers in other towns has not seen fit to cast the beam from it's eyes in regards to its own city. Can it be that the Courant staff. so efficient elsewhere cannot find evidence of liquor in the Capital City? Every few days we find, in an obscure place in it's col umns, details of raid or of an ar rest for drunkenness. Of course, with the rest of the state so rotten, Hartford cannot help but suffer from the nearness of such towns as New Britain. One or two rotten apples in a barrel may corrupt the whole barrel in time. By the time that every rotten city has been cleaned up by the active little investigators of the leader of the virtuous Hartford alone will shine in our midst as the only uncorrupt locality we suppose.
 The morning paper has a connip- ton over everything that it may find off color in any city, it's own snug ness keeps it from recognizing its own faults, Possibly some of the political pets of the clique which the Courant represents are getting theirs in Hartfor1. Possibly some of the newspaper boys think too much of a drink to investigate their places of conviyiality. We cannot say why it is, we certainly wish we could, but it is certain that a drink is ob- tainabIe in Hartford, just as much as in Eallingford. New Britain or New Haven Why not give us the dope old timer? You know so much about us, you must know something about yourself.

ARMISTICE DAY.

We have seen already how soon war, and those who participated in it, gave their lives for the cause they believed in is forgot.
 After a war is finished and the ef- fleets of it are felt throughout the country, the word war" is on all lips. But is is spoken of more often as it has affected business and ecoRrfnc matters, than otherwise. - How often men shed tears over their ton has brought; how often they be- wall the fate that made men fight; how, they say for the sake of busi- ness alone, there should be no more of war-something should be done about 1t. Those people at Washington, who are supposed to have brains should prevent a recurrence of that Thing which turns everything upside down and makes a man ignorant of where he stands"
 Occasionally few men get together in organizations and talk over ways -apd-means to gain again the position in life they would have had were it not for the war, to plan things they should do, as soldiers. Many of them have lost all the money they had, and came back to their old work only to find that another has gone on pro- gressing from the place he himself occupied, to a position much higher. The ex-service man is having hard job Sometimes his service is over looked entirely.
 But now, long before the day set to commemorate the day of signing of the armistice, the President of the United States shows that he has not forgotten Few men with hearts that are humane , have forgotten.
 The president asks that every man and woman, on the anniversary of Armistice Day, Novermer II, pause ir his or her labors of the day, and al ' the hour of noon, say silent prayer hat war shall come no more,-a pray. N for those who have gone-a two m utes spent in paying tribute tc those who made the end of the conflic possible
 Thus early he has made the reques that 1t may be talked of; that tht tribute may be universal - that al shall learn to remember the day anc hour and come to it with the spiri 1 which should be given, in all rever ence, at that time
 Remember November il. and tn,

argument for the League. It provides that any nation breaking it's League obligations with regard to going to war shall be considered to have con- mitted an act against all the other members of the League and shall be subject to severance of all relations.
 It seems that all the delegations agreed that Article x did not consti- tute a pledge of members to go to war to protect the borders of members but was a declaration of principle and a pledge of the nations not to violate the territory of their neighbors, with agreement that such aggression would be punished largely with the use of the economic weapon. This construc- tion states that no nation is bound to se--d troops for such purpose.
 Even a rewriting of the covenant has been suggested and there can be little question but that any desire of the United States ould be embodied in the covenant or stricken from it. r Every time there is a war in Europe
 someone here is apt to say, Now we
 might have to send out boys across
 again if we were in the League" Under this construction such action
 would not be obligatory morally or ethically or by the terms of the cov- enant.
 There is no question but that this league is quite a different one from the one fought against during out presidential campaign, as it was then conceived.
 One who favored the League so construed it at that time. Such 8 one | relied moro on the economic boycott | than on anything else.
 We may not be more ready to join the | League than we were at the time ot | election, but we know a deal more | about it, and people all over the coun- try will consider deeply, once again | the matter of linking hands with the
 newly interpreted League, which could eventually, bring about actual disarm- | ament.

How film ruins
accept it

Film is that viscous coat you feel. It clings to teeth, enters crevices and stays. The ordinary dentifrice does not effectively combat it. So, despite the tooth brush, it has caused tremendous damage.
 Film absorbs stains, making the teeth look dingy. It forms the basis of tartar. It holds food sub stance which ferments and forms acid. It holds the acid in contact with the teeth to cause decay.
 It breeds millions of germs and they, with tartar, are the chief cause of pyorrhea.
 Pepsodent ccmbats these film caused troubles as nothing else has done.

"JEST UMINATIN'."
 (RObert RuSSeID

 They're meetin' there in Wash ington to help the unemploy- ed;
 They're thinkin' O the many things those fellers ain't en- joyed
 For weeks an months, while they them mselves ain't noticed things were wrong, Except, when they walked round their plants, they heard no cheerful song, O. men enjoyin' what they done, an lookin' for the day When things would hum, an then, perhaps, would come a raise in pay. They didn't realize too quick the layin' off O men Looked like some words writ plainly by the Boss big fountain pen. They didn't know that anxious eyes looked for that envelope, In doubtful questionin' O. mind, in hesitatin' hope. S1nCe then ndS grown duAlely, they know now how men feel;
 They know the talked of suf- ferin' is somethin' mighty real;
 They want to do the best they can to put things right once more
 They long to hear the cheerful song they used to hear be- fore.
 An SO they're givin' all their thoughts that no man, 'cept a shirk,
 Will have to go much longer when he can't find any work.
