THE SPIRIT OF YOUTH

Youth is not time of life; it is a
state of mind. 1t is not a matter of.
ripe cheeks, red lips, and supple knees;
1T is temper of the will, a quality
of the Imagination, vigor of the emo
lions. 1t is the freshness of the deep
springs of life. Youth means a tenn
peramental performance of courage
over timidity, of the appetite for adj
venture over the love of ease. This
often exists in man of fifty more
than in boy of twenty.
Nobody grows old by merely living a
number of years. People grow old on
ly by deserving their ideals.
Years wrinkle the skin; but to give
up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.
Worry, doubt, self-distrust, fear and
despair-these are the long, long years
that bow the heart and turn the green
ing spirit back to dust.
Whether sixty or sixteen, there is
In every human beings heart the lure
of wonder, the sweet amazement of
the stars and at starIike thinks and
thoughts, the undaunted challenge Of
events. the unfailing appetite for what
next and the JOY of the game of liv-
ing.
You are as young as your faith. as
old as your doubt; as young as your
self-confidence. as old as your fear:
as young as your hope, as old as your
despair.
In the central place of your heart
IS the evergreen tree; its name is love.
30 long as it flourishes you are young.
When it dies you are old.
In the central place of your heart
there is wireless station. So long as
1t receives messages of beauty, hope.
ccheer' grandeur, courage, and power
from the earth, from men and from the
Infinite mi SO long you are young.
When the wires are down. and all
the central place of your heart IS COW
cred with the SHOWS of cynicism and
the ice of Pessimism, then YOU are
growing old, even at twenty, and NAV
''od have mercy upon your soul.

WHY THERE ARE NO
MOSQUITOES In NEWLLANO
By George D. Coleman

Although there are an abundance of
places where mosquitoes can breed,
there are no mosquitoes at FL Llano.
To the west of Ell Llano there are mo-
squitoes, but at Ell Llano there are no
mosquitoes, except when wind blows
for long from the west, a few mo-
squitoes. | ann told, are blown up from
the Sabine River bottom lands, and
from other directions the continuance
of strong wind will bring them, SO
| told, but in 46 days residence
here, when mosquitoes should be plen-
tiful, | have not seen or felt one sin
gle mosquito. | have seen in the tro-
pics places just as free of mosquitoes
and always have found the same rea-
son for it. Here, had suspected that
the reason is the same, and few ev-
ings ago | say the proof positive. In
fww words, it is the presence of one
of two of the over 5000 varieties of
bats. Of the over 1000 varieties of
bats, there is only one or two varieties
that live especially on mosguitoes-one
small brown bat that is found in
few places in the tropics, and small
black bat that is found from the frost
line up to the Arctic Circle. They are
identical in their dentition, size and
habits, except that the brown tropical
bat does not hibernate and is evtermin-
ated where there is cold weather suf-
ficient to freeze a light skim of ice;
while the black bat hibernates in win
ter, and, as | have said. is found as
far north as the Arctic Circle. A few
evening". ago, | saw and identified two
of the little black bats-and hence
there are no mosquitoes in FL Llano.
| have met very many people of
supposed education, who are woefully
and AppallinglY ignorant Of the very
first principle Of scientific education.
Even the commission for the extermin-
alton Of mosquitoes of the State of
New Jersey, when went before them
twice and gave them the scientific
facts and quoted the best scientific
authority upon bats. whose book on
that subject, is issued by the Smithson-
ian Institute, a quasi U. S. Govern
ment institution, / was laughed at, and
at, their instigation ridiculed in the
Newark newspapers. These gentle
men draw State salaries and have
spent, and are spending, thousands of
dollars of the New Jersey taxpayers
money; had the idea that all bats
were simply bats, only some larger
than others. 1t may possibly be that
the salaries they get, and the money
they handle from the State Treasury
was the REAL REASON of their hold
ing me up to ridicuIe; as, if my prop
osition had been entertained, their job
and salaries would have ceased. | do
not claim, remember, that such was
the reason they had; but their entire
ly closed-up and Chinese character of

norance did more than astonish me

Il may be worth while, however, to-
include in this statement a brief sum-
mary of a few Of the. specific criti~
cisms which have made against the
administration of the Federal Reserve
System, the absolute correctness Of
which the official records prove.
Discriminates Against Small Banks
The records establish, among Others
the following facts:
|. While certain big banks were fa-
vored with huge loans at low interest
rates, small country banks were char
ged extravagant and usurious rates,an
instance being given of the exaction
of an average of As per cent interest
from a small country bank for a two
weeks loan of $4,000 in September,
1920, the interest charged on part of
that loan by Federal Reserve Bank
having been actually as high as 871Z.
percent per annum.
2. The Board, after seeing the hard
ships imposed by the so-called pro-
gressive" interest rate, voted down my
resolution to limit interest to 6 percent
and also defeated another resolution
which | offered to limit interest to 10
per cent.
3. The Federal Reserve Bank of
New York made its biggest loans to
institutions, some of whose executive
officers were large borrowers, not only
from their own banks. but from other
banks which were also big borrowers
of the Reserve System. cited one
case where the chief executive officer
of certain banking institution, heavy
debtor of the Reserve Bank, was bor-
rowing for the benefit Of himself and
family, largely on speculative securi-
ties, millions of dollars, or more than
his bank was lending to all its national
bank correspondents throughout the
country. In my annual report to Con-
gress | have recommended that banks
be prohibited from lending to their
own dCllVe Objects.
4. The Reserve System loaned at
times to big favored banks as much
as $l45,000,000 or more to one bank,
while small banks in other parts of
the country were being denied accom-
mediation. Small banks in various
parts of the country were also requir-
ed, contrary to the spirit and provis-
ions of the Federal Reserve Act, to put
up heavy margin as additional secur-
ity for their discounted paper, the mar
gin exacted amounting sometimes from
SO to 200 percent. 1 directed atten-
ton to the case of one country bank
which claims to have been compelled
to suspend by its Reserve Bank. Af-
ter paying exorbitant interest rates as
long as it could, and after it had been
stripped of its assets by the Reserve
Banks demand for excess security
the bank was forced to close and is
now demanding that the Federal Re-
serve System pay its depositors in full.
The official records also contain in
stances of two other national banks
i'm another reserve district closed by
the highhanded action, as | was reIia-
bly, informed of certain Federal Bank
official. .. -. ... g.. .

GOOD HEALTH.

At least one of the things people of New Britain may be thankful for, is the comparative good health of those who reside in this city.
 Possibly this state of affairs is not due to the special efficiency of the board of health, or its head, former or present. but it has a great deal to do with it.
 This city is better fortified against disease than most. It's Visiting Nurse Association, Welfare associa- ton and other organizations and in dividuals have been ever on the watch for disease and suffering, and the health board seems to be moving rapidly where trouble threatens as in the case of poorly heated tenc- ments and in the matter of cleans ing of the station. The building commissioner has added his part, and it is the result of such institu- tons. together with the improve ment in the Hospital that have aid ed in bringing down the proportion of persons who are ill as com pared with the number of sufferers last year at this time.
 Never, however, should go to those or like organizations or people, all the credit or all the blame for good or i'll health of residents of the city. Often circumstances occur which take the matter out Of their control at first. The checking of the cpl demic, if the disease grows to such proportions, or the prevention of a spreading of the disease, is their bus mess. performed only too gladly. Their failure to take prompt action would prove calamity.
 So may not continuation of promptness to act be urged upon all whose duty 1t is to pay attention to the entrance or prevalence of a disease or diseases In this city, and may we be allowed to quote the old saying, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure"
New Britain herald., 1921-11-23

settlement of the matter of continu- ance or discontinuance of the Anglo Japanese alliance is considered by those countries to be matter to be talked about between themselves. Naturally the United States is against it as it is against any complicated agreement which would destroy any of the good effect of the conference Most of the other nations, including France and Italy, stand with the United States on this point,
 Success often looks easy of attain ment when the broad general prin- ciples are set forth in a comparative ly unusually detailed way, as in the case of the Hughes plan, Enthns- iasm aims when details begin to be worked out in their finest shades
 This Is the situation at the confer ence.

YOUR TRADE.

You are in the habit of trading day you ask credit and readily is it given you. Your bill grows until you become quite ashamed of it. You cannot pay it. and, even though you have money enough for what you need on certain day, you patronize a competitor of your former mer- chant, and you pay cashior what you get.
 The same thing happens another day, and another. Finally you are giving all your trade to a new mer- chant, while the other is Carrying you and receiving no benefits from your cash trade-which he, of course, would be glad to get, even though the old bill stood.
 A pretty hard way to treat the man who trusted you! When you began to ask credit from him he cX- pected that you would pay when you could; his favor to you, in giving you credit, would not bring him Q loss-his leniency would not cost him your trade--such was his thought.
 And when you asked credit you certainly intended to pay imm ediate- ly. Hard luck continued longer than you had any reason to believe it would-and you could not pay your bill, with the result above noted.
 A far moro fair and decent way to treat the tradesman who trusts you Is to continue your trade with him when you have about reached the limit of credit. and pay him cash, re. ducing the old account as you arc able, Don't shun him, but hold ur your head, tell him the facts, and he will respect you all the more.

COMMUNlCATED.
The Fallacy of the Elsewhere in Con
 nection With Band Music.

To the Editor of the Herald:
 Week after week, staring you in the face from the columns of our local store windows, one sees the evidence of the popular and persistent prac- tice of various clubs, associations, etc. to rush out of town when in need Of dance music.
 What is the matter with our local orChestras? Are they unable to han dle the dance work in New Britain? ? It seems as though our local mUsi- clans ought to be quite capable of handling any and all engagements where first class music is desired.
 In the past our bands and orches- tras have been in great demand for some charitable work, and our musi- clans have given freely when called upon for music or money for all wor- thy causes.
 In return for their generosity 1t Is aggravating to a musician to be con- fronted at all times with the an- nouncement that this or that club or society has engaged out-of-town or chestras.
 Most of our musicians work in the factories during the day time, and play in local orchestras evenings. In this way they are usually able to pick up considerable extra money which is generally spent in New Britain. Since the advent of out-of-toWn music To- cal orchestras are practically idle, and,- at a time when little extra money would help materially to swell up their depleted pay envelopes 1t is going to outsiders.
 We believe the promoters of dances in this city will see the justice of this little reminder, and will get together and work in the interest of our home musical organizations.
