PUBLIC OPINION
THINKS FRANCE is RIGHs.
EDITOR EVENING NEWS:

bOllOIA 1t LANA~No N6
A recent editorial in the Evening
News expresses the view that France
is making a mistake in taking the
stand which she has in regard to
disarmament. and is likely to lose
the worlds sympathy and friend
ship.
1t may be true, but we are in
clined TO think that on account OF
her attitude in the matter, instead OF
losing caste, she has risen decidedly
in the estimation of not a few red
blooded Americans. For our own
part, we never had more respect for
France than we have this moment.
We hope she does not bulge n
iota. If she does not she is desery-
ing of a vote of thanks, and If the
vote is up TO the American people,
we think, it will be carried by the
same tremendous majority which
carried President Harding into Of
hce-and may carry him u
The Evening News is sincere, no
doubt, in urging that this Nation
join other nations in e~ntangling al
liances. With the express purpose
OF getting a line on general opinion,
during the Harding campaign. l
talked with eight hundred people,
! most Of them strangers, and found
about twenty mildly in favor of the
League of Nations and three or four
two of them English born-vocif-
erous advocates. l believe the great
majority of people hold the same
opinion in regard TO the Balfour-
Root -Four Power Treaty."
We surmise that the Evening
News has been quite a successful
business venture. 1t a won sue
cess, undoubtedly, by conducting its
! affairs according to well Throughout
principles The editor gets a notion
that the enterprise needs outside adj
vice and invites the Copper Works.

There is no agreement among
scientists as to the number of yeats
the earth has been inhabited by
man. So far as there is any APP
proach to such agreement, it may
be said to be that the fossil re-
mains of the human species tend
to suggest a period of something
like $40. 900 years since the first be-
ing that could be classified as hu-
man took up his residence in the
caves
Heinrich Schmidt, pupil of Hack
Ell, suggested as a convenient
chronolog. cal chart, the reductions
of this whole period to the time be-
tween midnight and moor of n
day.
That is, let us assume that the
race began at midnight last night,
and is now at the noon of its power.

BY DIR. r. Fl. BISHOP

I read not long ago of the case
OF a little girl who had a slight at
tack of measles. She was not SICK,
SO she was allowed to go out ana
play. She went to Sunday school,
and gave the disease to five others
one of whom nearly died and one
became deaf. These gave 1t to ~
more, of whom three died, n a
intestinal ulcers, n developed tub
erculosis and two had eye troubles.
She played with her baby brother.
The baby caught it and died. She
went to visit her little cousin, who
caught it and then gave 1t to her
father, who was sick for five months
afterwards and ultimately lost the
hearing of his left ear.
All this happened because a
mother was careless and thought
less. The importance of strict quar-
antine cannot be too often nor too
greatly emphasized.

UNUSUAL COURT SESSION
Thirteen Persons Tried and To~
 Given Freedom

The October term of the superior court, criminal side, which closed last week at Litchfeld, will stand for many years as a landmark in juris- prudence in Litchfeld county.
 To begin with it was the first scs- sion of the court held under the new statute which gives accused persons the privilege of electing trial with out jury. Then again it was the only session of the county court within the memory of the oldest lawyers at which nearly all the prisoners tried were acquitted. Thirteen in all were tried. Eleven of these today are free.
 Judge Webb was the presiding judge, and in ten of the 13 cases he discharged the accused. In one of the three remaining cases he gave q verdict of guilty but released the prisoner on probation. The charges in this case were aggravated assault and carrying a concealed weapon. In another he found a man guilty of poultry thefts and sentenced him to state prison but the term was to be served concurrently with another term previously meted out to the same prisoner for breaking jail In the thirteenth case, the accused was found guilty and sent to the reforms- tory.
 Those freed by Judge Webb were: Lewis Taylor and Emanuel Tato, 1 Norfolk, charged with automobile thefts; Emil Schwarcock, Torringto~, charged with breaking and entering; Louis Strano, Torrington, charged with aggravated assault and ,arry- ing concealed weapon; Stephen Bog dnay, Charles Brown and George and Everett Mosher, Warren, charged with breaking and entering; and John Burhance and Della Smalley, Canaan, charged with adultery.
 The case of George Lawson sf Winchester, charged with breaking and entering, was continued; and that of Frank Funk, North CanaaR, stealing chickens, nolled. James Osborne, Morris, breaking and en- tering, was sentenced to the re- forr1atory. Three cases at the end of the docket were put over to the next term for trial.-Torringssu Register.

A pen of White Leghorns from Hollywood, Wash, gained so consistency in the home stretch that until the very end 1f the contest it looked as if the Leghorns would beat the Wyandottes to the wire.

 The best Connecticut pen was en- tered by Ernest H. Scott from Farm ington. In the Plymouth Rock class W. H. B. Rents birds from Gaze novia, N. Y, finished the year more than 250 eggs ahead of any other pen in their class. In the Rhode Island Red group Charles H. Lanes pen from Southboro, Mass, was an easy first with a score of nearly 2,000 eggs. The Leghorns constituted one half the birds in the contest and in this, the largest group, Hollywood Farms pen from Hollywood, Wash, was more than 100 eggs ahead at the close of the contest. The fifty birds in these four pens together with the winnig Wyandottes averaged to lay 209 eggs per hen as compared with an average of 102 eggs each for the fifty hens in the above poorest pens
 There were 1000 hens in the con, test of ten different breeds and varie, ties and from fourteen different states and two of the Canadian pro, vinces. They laid a grand total of 159,7OO eggs.
