the electric light man have proper cards or badges to show their authori- ty They are responsible and able to gain adnittance without trouble.
 The canvassers who have such a hard task before them which will take nearly to the first of January, pre- sumabiy have similar documents show ing their authority.
 If they have not these evidences of authority to ask the questions they must, such evidence should be furnish ed them. A woman would have a per feet right to refuse to answer ques- tions concerning her age or any other matter if there is no evidence produc- ed by the seemingly inquisitive man who calls, that he has a right to ask those questions and to receive the necessary s2.
 AS a last pleasant word regarding the sex it might be suid that the $4O,- 900 or whereabouts they will pay will help some.'

CANVASS OF WOMEN
 BEING MADE IN CITY
Registrars and Assistants Enrolling Fair Sex on New Britain's Personal
 Tax List-21 ,OOO More Names.


 Registrars Thomas J. Smith and William Ziegler, assisted by William Coffey, John O'Brien, Joseph Abram- owicz, Alex Sandberg and Charles Curtis are for the first time, mak- ing a canvas of the women of the city, to find how many are liable for the personal tax this year! They es- timate that there will be about 21,- 900 more names on the tax list this year than there were last, and the total number will be about 40, 900. At the rate of S2 a person, this will mean that the city will be enriched by about $4O,O0O more than hereto fore.
 It will take approximately three months to complete the entire canvas, which was started in the First ward that it will require hard work every day in order to meet with the re- quirements of the law which states that the list must be compiled and placed on file with the city clerk not later than December 31. They have instructed their assistants to make special effort to secure an accurate list of all men and women of the city between the ages of 21 and 60> Thus far, there has been no dlffl- culty in ascertaining the ages of the fair sex, and although there have been instances where some of the women have declined to tell whether they are 30 or 40, they are very few

THE OBSERVER
 MAKES
 RANDOM o ASPIRATIONS THE CITY AND ITS PEOPLE,

DiSSatisfa ction exists with the man. ner in which the office of prosecuting attorney is being conducted. One day the public is informed that the prose- cutor has turned the work connected with his position temporarily over to his assistant, and then it is learned that this statement is due for modifi- cation because the prosecutor has is sued a warrant for the arrest of a saloon keeper. It is later revealed that that warrant was for one John Doe' and a still more startling revelation is the allegation of the man placed un- der arrest that he is in the employ of the prosecutors father. Following this, the prosecutor again convenient ly slips out of his mantle of authority warrants over to his assistant again The question naturally arises, when is the prosecutor on the job and when $ he resting?
 It will be recalled that the present prosecutor seemed to win the office through the political manipulations of his friends who happen to occupy positions of authority in the republi- can party. When the office was vacated it was generally believed that the assistant prosecutor, because of his surprising news to learn that he had been turned down and there is good reason to think that politics had a great deal to do with it.
 Now comes the day of accounting.

STATE TRADE SCHOOL,

Three hundred and fifty carpenters, mechanics, draughtsme pattern makers, masons, moulders, printers etc., are being turned out by the State Trade School in the city, despite the fact that the moral capacity is about 175 persons.
 There are also night courses which men may take up by those who cannot attend in the daytime
 The Common Council, after wanting to do so for a long time, at last has felt that the need was so impera- tive it was necessary to call for an is sue of s40,0OO of bonds to go for the housing of school children.
 The State Trade school is looking for the day, soon to come it is hoped, when an additional $1OO,00O will be appropriated so that they may leave the portion of the High school where they are working under handicap, and | nave new school for themselves, thus l relinquishing their present quarters to city use.
 The city must furnish the home, lighting and heating for the school; | the state does all the rest. Probably it costs the state at present, including salaries of some twenty-five instruc- tors, $50,000 yearly to run the school. But this sort of school appeals to many who cannot or do not care to I take the higher educational courses | They want to learn or to perfect themselves in trade. Men want it as | well as the boys. There may be found embryo inventors who may become successful in their trade and add tc it's possibilities. At any rate this is 6 1 school wheer men and boys work witt a decided end in view. It is presumed
 that the social side of the school i.
 not developed as in schools of other
 kinds, but probably this fact does not
 keep the pupils from doing just a. good work.
 It is hoped that matters may be arranged soon to allow the trade
 school, whose scholars range from | boys to men of about 45 years of age
 to have this new school, and that the
 other amounts asked for by the schoo board may be appropriated

life and the interest in those who have participated enthusiastically in athletics in former years is apt to be sustained. There may be no statis- tics at hand, nevertheless it is be- al9ved that those physically able, who have taken that interest in events of sport, become more en- ergetic hand or mind workers, or they have used up their energy to iuch an extent that they are fail lres because of physical ailments.
 The longer "a man or a woman re- aims his interest in matters of ac- witty, be they of sport or business hat requires energy, the better a nan he will be and the longer will his strength keep him at work in his line.
 There are many who object to a ooy playing football and some dep- recate baseball, though the latter is conceded to be much less danger ous. Such people should consider he life of the one in whom they are interested, after the days of playing Ire over Active participation in
 ports keeps @ man young.
 Yesterday people watching all over
 he country for the results of a game played by eighteen men, with few more as they are put in to take the places of those taken out be- cause of lack of effectiveness. Of hese men, about twenty-three, play
 ng most strenuouslx, many are over .hirty, playing like boys, many ap- preaching forty, and a few in their .wenties. The older ones owe their ability and pep" and energy to baseball
 Interest is often the indicator of young activeness or inactivity. The youth of this day is inactive; hat of tomorrow, or it's parents, should profit by past experience, and make the youth of tomorrow, now ir | it's infancy, active.

RED BLOOD.

Many people are interested in games and matches of all sorts be- cause of special inducement The High school lad wants his team to win; any lack of loyalty there, or lukewarmness in enth usfasm is de- precated. A boy or a girl is not considered to be lone of them" unless he or she displays proper interest in athletics.
 Enthusiasm at college over ath- letlcs comes naturally. It is in the atmosphere: Great good in the life of the college or university may re- suit from great success in athletics, other than the ifnm ediate benefits accorded hero, And the reverse is true.

1.-THE BREAK"

In every life, in every game, there comes the moment called "The break in the game" It is something old time ball players recognize at once, but neither they nor anyone is able to describe it exactly.
 Turning point is the best synonym, and yet it may not be a turning point.
 In yesterdays game, for> instance, handicapped by four runs, there came a hit by the Giants. Probably the break came there. Every one of those players recognized that something "Difrerent' was going to happen that things would remain as they were until "the break in the game" broke. New enthusiasm comes to the heart of each player; he is confident He holds his head up high, sure that success to him.
 Often the break which will lose the. game is felt by loser as well as winner. He feels, does the loser, as though there was something making his legs dead, his brain numbed. He has a feeling that all is not right. He loses heart.
 Before going into today's game the Giants feel undoubtedly that "the break" in the series has come. They feel that they could win under all handicaps. They will play more ener- getic ball today than ever before in the worlds series. That, without a doubt will be their feeling; that, un- dcubtedly will be McGraw's. cry to each player as he goes to bat.
 Two runs scored against them in the first inning would not take from that confidence. Their teeth will be clenched-they will know they are going to win.
 The "break in the game" never fails. Human beings may cause ito go wrong; other, later elements may enleT lulO LIle pSy CIOIoSlCdl SlCudllOI that may seem to mak the break a thing of fancy. But it came yester- day-it may come today. It is more i easily sensed by those near to the players, but even at distance it may be felt
 And in life! It may be by chance; it may come through determination there is "the break" It enters into the psychic realms of which we arc learning more and more each. day ant year. But it Is there.
 Today a man may feel his lack o- ambition, his uselessness in tn, world: tomorrow-or at any time tn, "break'' may come, inexplicable bu very real. He knows he has strengt1 and power. It is a real break-con dition of health does not alter it.
 Say to any older baseball playe that there is no such thing as "th break" in the game.
 Then hear his laughter at your ig norance and see him walk away through with you.

"JEST RUMINATIN'."
(Robert Russell)

There's times when everyone O. us will wish that we were boys;
 There's times we sort O. depre- cate those middle-aged joys We wants to go a-fishin', or to build that forest hut; We wants to do most anythin' that takes us from the rut We've fallen into, workin' on, that we may jest exist. An most especially it's hard to ruminate today When all the world seems standin' round to hear about the play
 Between the Giants an the Tanks, who plays in great New York,
 Not worryin' about their comin' meal O salted pork. But when we're sane an sensi- ble, we doesn't feel so bad, We looks back an appreciates the good things we have had; But ne'ertheless there's few of us who ne'er this phrase em- ploys-

public schools must dress with great CT regard for modesty and decorum. The board expresses the opinion that the habiiment of the teachers is such as to give the growing genera tion false ideas regarding dress both as to it's cost and it's purpose.
 Here is another instance of modern Solomons trying to legislate morality into existence, and, like most efforts along this line, it is certain to fail. Granted that the school teachers take the hint and garb themselves from chin to soles in sack cloth, will the other ladies in the town do the same? If not, will not the previous dears who trudge back and forth each day to learn the three R's be exposed to unsightly raiment, thus upsetting the apple cart and spilling the good in tentions of the school board all over the boulevard?
 Local attempts to enforce moral laws when no corresponding effort is made in other places is doomed to failure. This was the situation in the old days of local liquor option./ For example, Berlin or Plainville could vote dry until they got blue in the face but the merry, merry villagers from those towns made nocturnal expeditions to New Britain or some other oases and laughed Hal Ha! and laughed Ho!> Ho! loud, long and raul cously. In fact a great many citi- zens from the suburbs contracted per manent V's in their arms from carry ing packages home into dry" terri tory.
 When men try to tell women how they must dress, the women listen intent1y, nod approvingly, and with great show of interest-and then dress as they please. So what's the use?

WOMEN AND TAXES.

Since the law went into effect com- polling women to pay personal tax, and in so doing give their ages, there has been much talk about their un- willingness to give the year in which they were born.
 After humbly acknowledging that ''the man who fatters himself he knows women, fatters himself" one feels rather fattered that he has pro- phesfed correctly concerning them once
 The registrars busy cS11cctfng these personal taxes from women at this time, and who Nsf1 be busy at it until Christmas probably, report. as a rule that women make little fuss about tell ing their ages. Naturally a few have been reported as having dfsliked to do so, but as the general run they have smiled and paid. Such was the pre- dictfon in these columns some time ago.
 There are so many ~back-door ped- d1ers" that refusal to open the door to strangers may be partially explain ed where these canyasser have had this experience. Some women have beem told not t0 allow any strange men to come into the house thougfs they say they want to seil gold brick for forty cents. And there is much yfx.Ixo S1o iS this reason, rather than fos batting ourselves on the back that this pub- Hcaty should bS g1ysa.

GIRL" . NOW REPORTED
 NEARLY CURED

Waukegan, Iu.-Miriam Rubind the young talking girT' who chatter ed and babb1ed almost continuously for more than PIP hours, is improving today and physicians believe she is about cured of her strange malady. Recurrent attacks are expected physi- clans said, but it is believed that a treatment has been found that even tually will effect a cure.
 After every form of Sedative known to leading physicians and neurologists of Waukegan and Chicago had been administered without result, Dr. Paul Berger, an osteopath of Waukegan, was called in. Dr. Berger's examina- ton revealed that the vertebrae in the child's spine had become dislo- cated and one of them was pinching the nerves that controlled the organs of speech.
 Dr. Berger exerted pressure on the girls spines and the vertebrae snap ped back into place. Soon after Miriam dropped off to sleep and slept more than an hour. After awakening she started talking again but soon fell off into another slumber. Although she still talks incoherently at inter vals when awakened the girls fever is receding and the nervous tension she has experienced for more than nine days has relaxed. Physicians re- ported today that her condition wal rapidly approaching normal.
