 Whats become of our civilization7 Peace conference in Washington Peace conference at Genoa. War at New Britain High school, Divisa est in partes tres---frat men who want frats to control athletics: frat men who don't want frats to control aSl- letics, and, as usual, the innocent bJ- stander, the rank and file Of the stu dent body who must suffer the stigma for the disgraceful brawling of a small clique

 Observer expressed opinion of frats few months ago. Given the laugh. Now feels better.
 The much abused word "Sterling" has found an active champion in the Sterling Silverware Manufacturers' as- sociation which has asked retail jew elers all over the country to bring to the attention of customers the real meaning of the word. The purpose of the campaign is to educate the public to the fact that Sterling" is only an- other way of saying Solid Silver" In the course of communication sent to jewellers, the association says: !'Its fact-the great American pnb- lie at large doesn't even know wat Sterling means in a jewellers win- dow; doesn't know that Sterling is the trade mark for solid silver We have made investigations at exhibits and style shows held by prominent jewellers in both large and small cities: and with placards and signs profusely proclaiming Sterling Silver the question Is it solid silver?' is asked by visitors 50 to 106 times more than any other question: Joseph M. Halloran's candidacy for the democratic nomination for con- gress has been well received in demo- | cratic circles and not a few who are popularly supposed to be republican voters express the opinion that he has splendid chance of winning if lie is nominated.
 Hartford has monopolized the nom- ination for many years sometimes | with success but freqhently with fail- ure New Britain has given the Hart l ford democratic candidate good sup port, in proportion to the large nor nal republican vote in this city. and 1t would not be out of place far Hart ford to step gratefully aside and ex- | tend its support to New Britain candidate.
 MT. Haloran would make strong candidate if he could secure the nom- | ination. He is stronger in New Brit ain today than he has been since he was defeated for the mayoralty nom- ination several years ago. He won the good grac6 of many who were luke warm toward his ambitions by the manner in which he kept his pre- primary pledge to support MT. Paones- sa, if the latter won the democratic mayoralty nomination.
 | It was said after the last municipal election that if MT. Halloran had been the candidate he would have given MT. Quigley a worse beating than Mr. Paonessa did and might, even have carried the entire ticket into office. It does not require a close analysis to detect sympathy for a more liberal amendment to the constitution. MT. Halloran is total abstainer from al- coholic liquor and therefore his at- titude in favor of abolishing the pro- hibition law is all the more unusual. It should bring him increased support.
