FORD OPTIMISTIC.

While one is inclined to smile bit when Henry Ford talks about matters Of science and art or discourses upon things intangible. he certainly knows "buslncss" and mechanics.
 Probably he did not realize that he was uttcring Il sentence of real poetic quality containing the uplift and the rhythm necessary when he was inter viewed the other day.
 "There will be more measures, of economy in every way" he said. put the volume of business will continually grow
 Almost anyone might have said this with confidence in it's truth. The pre- diction is bound to come true-some- time. Almost anyone might have re- piled, "Yes. but when will that growth begin to be of real help to our busi- ness?''
 Despite the continual urging against retaining feeling of hesitancy about buying normally people simply will not return immediately to their accustomed ways. There will be a long period of waiting until the first timid steps taken toward a natural viewpoint of things, based on facts us they arc. will show that those steps were wise and we arc safe in relying on continuance of improvement instead of fearing re- turn of the depression which is still with us-but growing less noticeable. And while we are thus timid economy and more economy will be practiced by capital. The ''bogy'' must he ban ished first by the people before capital will return to it's normal habit of ex- pansion which spells 'good times.

in some quarters-that is bad TOT those who get excited. of course, but has the effect of stirring others to mild interest at least.
 If the unfortunate city meeting can stir the interest Of many who should have been interested always. there will be silver lining to the cloud if east over the city. It is this lack of general interest that has made such things possible. It is the lack of in- terest followed by action. that brings politics into disrepute and which taints those engaged in public life with stigma. deserved or unde- served. which will cling to them.
 The attempt to bring decency into politics in q city of this size is not hopeless. All that is needed is the display Of intense interest in the way city affairs are run. and the way they might be run. by people of honesty and intelligence. They may not care to bother It is their duty to do so. Men who are able to command re- spect will be given respect. Such men are needed here. Let them come out of their easy indifference and do things.
 So remember the thrilling song Come Out"

RETURN or SANITY.

Pctrograd may or may not have been taken by the rebels against the Soviet rule. The Soviet leaders may or may not have fled. It matters lit tic whether or not such reports are true. But true is the fact that some such thing was bound to happen. and if 1t has not happened yet it will in time.
 Bc it said to the everlasting credit of the men in this country who are dissatisfied with certain features of the government here. ttrat they were not carried away at any time by the glowing tales of freedom that came from the Russian Soviet propaganda. They realized that the Soviets had gone too far. and. while still cherish Ing their feeling that something is wrong here. they refused to believe that the Soviets had found a way out.

"JEST RUMINATIN." (Robcrt Russell.)

When my or ruminatin' pipe gets settled down to facts. it wonders how, across the seas. they'll view this country's acts. Ii don't refer to politics-what governments may do-it's in- dividuaIs it means-the deeds o' me an you. When Hoover helps the starvin' with the aid . that we al give, don't they ap- preciate that we have helped 'em all to live? When we send warmth clothin' to the kids, touched by their plight. don't you suppose they'll think O us each mornin'. noon an night? An as we keep it up each day, each week an month an year don't you suppose there'll grow love for us who live right here? So when those countries settle down an surf rim is no more: when most forgot is all the pain an anguish O the war, it seems as though there'd be lot O friendliness for us who've tried to stop the pain that come from that great world-wid muss. O course we ain't a-lookin' for no plaudits. praise nor prize-an' this the other nations jest be- gin to realize. For givin' aid to those in need brings you a peace o' mind which can't be understood by them that has some axe to grind.

SPEAKER WILL ATTACK HORIZONS
Mrs. Shepard to Appear at Trin-
 ity M. E. Church Sunday

Does the most hideous blot upon our national escutcheon. the deepest degradation of womanhood, the most alarming menace to Christian civili- zation, call for most earnest heed? Then does Mormonism exact the in- terest and attention of the church of God. By all the woe and bitterness entailed upon the family by this mon- strous curse, by all the blighting in- f1uence of this octopus preying upon the best and holiest, we should be moved to answer the bitter cry of need from mormondom and break the cruel shackles that hold the slaves of this monStrous WronS.'
 So declares Mrs. Lulu Loveland Shepard who will speak at the Trinity NJ. E. church Sunday afternoon. March 13. at 3:30, to women only and to both men and women in the evening at 7:30.
 A rare opportunity is in store for the people of New Britain and vicin- itv to hear this noted orator who comes with a message of vital interest to all. No admission will be charged but at the close of her address, a.

voluntary cash and card offering will be taken to aid in the anti-Mormon campaign.
 The Worcester Daily Republican says of her: The reputation made here on a former visit by Mrs. Lulu Shepard as a public speaker was sufficient to arouse much interest in her appearance here on Sunday. The doors of the Opera House were opened shortly after and by every seat and every inch of available standing space in the theater was filled. There were simply hundreds turned away. That the people en. joyed listening to Mrs. Shepard was shown by the fact that so many per sons remained standing during the entire address. Mrs. Shepard on be- ing presented was given such greet ing from the great audience as must have given her pleasure. AS she painted word picture after picture, the vast assembly was thrilled by her eloquence. Mrs. Shepard has a mess age and that she succeeds in driving home the many truths she utters there is no question. She is unques- tionably the greatest woman orator that ever graced a Worcester plat form."

THE ROBINS.

Probably many have heard robin or two. Probably many have remarked that Spring Is close to us.
 Hut 1t is good to take seat in n conveyance which will bring us down town to work and to hear one passen- ger say cheerfully: "The robins were thick on the hill this morning''-to hear another reply ''I saw several yes terday." and this. too. on cool morning such as came today.
 Spring Is not here, but thoughts of Spring are in every mind. Echoes of the voice of the robin. accompany those thoughts.
 Most of us arc in a rut. pretty much. The mildness of the winter has not affected winters monotony. We arc waiting for Spring which may be some time coming. But our thoughts simply won't wait. Our lives have been pretty drab and gray perhaps. It would do no harm to bring into then. now. and into our thoughts. that dash of red-that revitalizing quality which the breast of the robin represents in the first days of Spring.

that have existed there since the war. They have seen the folly of the theo- ries of the Soviet leaders: they have seen the awful nature of their prac- tice. It has been a bitter lesson for them and whatever comes from the revolution, no matter how trying, it cannot be worse than the rule they are fighting against.
 There is coming a return of sanity to Russia It's effect will be felt throughout the world. The few, in this country who have pointed across the sea and acclaimed on the advant- ages of Russian freedom of the peo- pie, ignorant of the fact that there has been less freedom for the people there under tho Soviet than there was under a czar. will be howled down.
 No one wants or would encourage a return to czarism. We believe not, in this country, in that form of govern ment. But we do believe. whatver may be said in moments of high ex- citement. that a rule such as that of the Soviet, where lawlessness and license iourishcd and were encour- aged. will never accomplish anythins tending toward an establishment of permanent happiness for the people.

Hawker was the individual who posed for the silhouette and Max Por- ter was first in the Herald office with the correct answer. We stated that the person was in a shocking" business when we gave you a meager description of him last evening. Evi- dently several persons got the idea as battery dealers in the city were guessed liberally.
 Those who were correct in their guesses last evening were Max Porter, A. Rosenthal, Charles Cacavallo and Oscar Ericsson.

COMMUNICATED
Thanks to the Press.

New Britain, Conn.,,
 March 9th, '21 Editor New Britain Herald: The committee of the John Barry Council, A. R. I. R., under whose auspices most successful protest meeting was held last Sunday after noon, March 9th, 1921, at the Palace theater wish to take this opportun- ity to express through your columns their hearty appreciation for the CO., operation afforded them. Tn a spe- cial way do we wish to thank the press for the helpful publicity given the movement.
 The Irish republic is seeking noth ing more than justice; the right of government by the consent of those governed and the recognition of form of rule set up under conditions similar to those that marked the formation of our American govern ment. Only through the agencies of protest meetings, assisted by the press. can the truth of the Irish question be presented in its right light to those whom we would have help us. By distorting facts in con- ncction with the Irish question, en- emies Of that republic have succeed cd in trampling the rights of one of the oldest nations of the world to the ground. In our efforts to offset the damage done by those hypocrites who themselves seek liberty but deny that right to the oppressed; it is pleasing to note the spirit of cooper ation on the part of the local press and public.

SMITH COLLEGE
GRADUATE WORKS
BEHIND COUNTER
Miss Elizabeth Boyd Of
Kansas City, Fitting Her
self to Become a Depart
ment Store Official.
tBy The Associated. rress., /,

Kansas City, No. July 3.--With
the idea of some day becoming a
department store official, Miss
Elizabeth Boyd, q recent Smith
college graduate, is working be-
hind the counter in down town
store here, selling everything from
frying pans to hooks and eyes.
It's hard work, Miss Boyd says,
but thoroughly interesting. And
she is learning not only the stock
and the business itself, but the hui
man side of it as well, for none of
her associates knows that she Is
there on any different footing than
they are.
Some of them were inclined not
to have much to do with me at
first" Miss Boyd, "but | found the
road to their hearts when 1 began
reading the girls palms for them
during the lunch hour And now l
have more heart problems to solve
than Laura Jean Libby"
Another discovery Miss Boyd
has made is that "honey'' Is the
most overworked word in the Eng
lish language in department store
circles. All the girls in her store
"honey" each other and honey
the customers, and a considerable
number Of the customers honey
them In return.
ut is perfectly amazing" she
said, ITO discover how many of
them in this place have been mar
ried and divorced before they are
10. Love affairs are the one great
topic of conversation and interest
among many department store
girls here, and the fact that one
husband has turned out badly is no
diseouragement.
II like them, and have made a
lot of friends but you'd be sur
prised to find how few 1 know
have any idea of staying with their
work or rising in it. With a whole
lot of them. it's simply a matter
Of holding job until they can get
married, or until they can save up
money enough to get divorce. so
it seems.
Fresh floor walkers? Yes.
they're not entirely fiction. I've
C me across a couple that my boss
seemed much surprised to hear
about. But OF course. the girls
wouldn't tell her.
''In few weeks I've certainly
learned a lot | never did in coll
lege, and 1t seems to me 1t ought
to make me lot more valuable in
a bigger job, when I'm ready for
1t, to know what Nellie at the rib
bon counter thinks about her en-
ployers and the world in general"
