RELIEVING STARVATION.

It makes little difference where they go or what organization they represent, those who come back from Russia after a visit to those sections where starva- ton is making great inroads into the population { all tell the same horrible stories of the conditions that prevail there. And this in spite of all that is being done to administer relief
 It cannot fail to impress the people of this country as they gather about wei filled tables today that regardless of what is being done the facilities for dis tribution or the amount of food that Is being sent fail to meet the situation
 Dr. Lorenz comeS to this country from Austria and tells with tears in his eyes of the wonderful service that was rem dered to the starving children of that country by the timely contributions of the people of the United States. As a means of showing his gratitude he now comes here to do what he can in the way of relieving the crippled chi dren of this country. This eminent doctor comes with the help of Americans but he comes to help repay insofar as he can what we did for the suffering chill dren of his country.
 It is the same sort of cry that comes from Russia today as came from Aus tria. Starvation is tho only outlook for great numbers. It isn't for us to la gsle over the fact that Russia might have prevented this situation, any more than we couil refrain from going to Austria's relief because it had been ah enemy nation. It is enough to know that un7anity Is suffering. and with ne prospect of escape except those who are ahle to go to their assistance.
 To aid' in the work ttat is already be ing done a National Committee of tht Russian Famine Fund has heen organ i-ed with the annroyal of Mir. Hoover With the object of saving as many ot the starving Russians as possible and there can be no question but what they are engaged in cause that will afford plenty of opportunity for real service and should get the support of gener ous people.

 One bright summer day Jim and John were playing in the dark. They heard a noise In the house. So they went In. They were all alone. They saw a burg lar. They tiptoed up stairs together for their gun. When they got up there they saw another burglar. So they tiptoed around the other way and got a gun Then they went down stairs and shot that burglar.

THANKSGIVING DAY.

In the keeping of the holiday so long ago established by the early settlers of New England, even though conditions are different, there are good and suffi- cient reasons why we should manifest our gratitude for the many blessings which have been received during the year.
 Thanksgiving day does not mean that there should be delayed until this time the expression of thanks for the bless ings that have come to us during the many previous months. Thanksgiving should be a daily devotion, quite the same as 1t was among our New England forbears and even though their bless ings must be regarded as scant in com parison with what are heaped upon those of today it is thoroughly fitting that we should not only find occasion for daily thanksgiving but should make the most of a special occasion in which all should manifest their thanks and praise.
 For the past three years we have had reason on the annual Thanksgiving day Co be specially thankful that the perio1 Of frightful hostilities which upset the world as never before was over. Today our gratitude is increased for the ar mistice period has been followed by the conclusion of peace. Thus in the na- tion's devotion, we cannot forget, as President Harding points out, that "Tht year has brought us again into relations Of amity with all nations after a long period Of struggle and turbu ence Ir ,hankfulness therefore we may wei unite in tho hope that Providence vii vouchsafe approval to the things we have done. the aims which have guided us. the aspirations which have inspirec us. We shall be prospered as We shal deserve prosperity seeking not alone fol the material things but for those of tn spirit as well, earnestly trying to he'I others; asking. before all else, the priv ilege of service Ours has been a ia vored nation In the bounty which Go' has bestowed upon It. Opportunit, for great service awaits us If we shel prove equal 10 it. Let our prayers b raised for direction In the right paths Under God our responsibility Is great to our own first; to all men sfterwarG to all mankind in Gods own justice"

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Dances Becoming Popular.

DaneeS Bec0mlng Popular.
 Dear Editor: We read in the Bible about dances and we read of all nations, both civilized and barbarians, indulging in dances. Well down here in Ledyard Gales Ferry, Poquonnoc, also at Quak- ertown, there are dances quite often. Last Saturday evening there was dance or social at the large and commodous house of George Ball, with people pres ent from New London, Mystic and Gro- ton. Fred Whipple of Mystic, played first violin and all enjoyed a good time, and went home happy. There is new dance hall at Poquonnoc and dances are in vogue. AS there was not floor room at the grange supper at the Center, some people of Noank were disappointed, as they wished to dance, but insufficiency of floor room prevented them from danc- ing as reported. Different ones are call ing on Prof F. W. Morgan to play for them. but the professor Is very old and unable to draw the bow as of old. AL though at Gales Ferry all cheered the old violinist at one dance. Presumably danc- ing as a harmonious amusement will be indulged in as long as the world stands

BLANK FORMS PRINTED

Hartford, Nov. 2S-The tax commis- sioner's department is having printed blank forms to be used in the inven- tory of estimates of deceased per sons for the assessment of the inheri- tance tax. At the last session of the general assembly a law was passed transferring from courts of probate to the tax commissioner the duty of com putting the amount of the inheritance tax to be paid by estates.
 The estates of the late Edmund c. Converse of Greenwich amounting 10 s32, ,0OO .000, CT thereabouts, will. its is believed, yield an inheritance tax of nearly S750,0O0. Mir. Converse died last April.

among others there was a feeling that possibly the president might veto the Dill on the ground that 1t was unconstl- tutional. In view of the fight that has been made over the matter of prohibit ton that was hardly to be expected. Heretofore the matter of constitution ality has been left for the United States supreme court to determine and that IS the attitude the president has taken in this case and it Is the logical one. That the matter will be carried to the courts is entirely probable. That has been the history of prohibition legisla- ton thus far and despite the failure to l successfully tackle it on the ground of | constitutionality the indications are that this law will not be accepted by the opponents without a thorough test before the courts and a final interpreta- ton by the highest court in the land.
 That Is of course where the decision should rest and the quickest way of get. ting it before that tribunal was for the president to affix his signature and lei It become a law, thus providing some l thing on which a decision could be ren
 dered.

Unquestionaoly this was all aided by the start that was obtain d under the guidance of Secretary Hughes. but a highly valuable response s certainly being made by the other members.

The action of President Harding in signing the anti-beer bill which was passed by both houses by substantial majorities is only what was to be ex- pected under the circumstances. Con- gress has voted in keeping with the pre- vious attitude manifested there It has realized the need of having the Volstead law enforced If 1t is going to amount to anything and it has put teeth in it. 1t has been brought to the realization of the fact that it was possible under the plan to have beer manufactured and sold for medicinal purposes to get around the law and to make enforce ment of prohibition much more diflcult. Already 1t is realized that the right to sell whlskey for medicine is resulting n great quantities of it being obtained for beverage purposes, while probably even greater quantities are being handled in other ways for the same object in vio- lation of the law.

Extravagant Writing

Credit men ought to pay particular attention to the handwriting of their firms customers, but mighty few of them do.
 Not that it is always possible to tell from the writing of a man or woman whether he or she is extravagant and lacking in thrift, but that when you see a certain kind of writing you can make up your mind safely that the writer has these characteristics.
 The kind of writing which betrays these tendencies is the kind that sprawls across the page. Usually, but not always the letters are large. But whether they are or not, they are widely spaced, and the spacing between the words is also wide.
 The credit man should watch such customers, not because they are dis likely to be the opposite of this, and need watching because they are con- tinually in danger of getting ahead of themselves financially. They are toe generous with themselves and others They are not naturally thrifty and though capable of thrift, they resort to it only when forced to. In short they're likely to be little too. op- i timistic about their ability to pay ev- erything for which they impulsively | obligate themselves.
