THE COURT OF HONOR.

Into every anniversary that carries with 1t n lasting impression enters a spirit of solemnity without which us full significance Is lost. This solemn aspect of Christmas, with It's great lesson of hope, is felt most intenseiy when New Britain'r Court of Honor and all 1t means is considered.
 Full appreciation of this aspect or Christmas has come to the local posts of the American Legion and veterans of Foreign Wars in this city. It's members cooperating with the Chamber of Commerce, have arranged to place Christmas wreaths upon the n,rlars of the court there in Walnut Hill. park. The ceremony will take pIace the day before Christmas, this coming Sunday, and will show again that spirit of everlasting remem- brance for the men who did not come hack to their homes in this city. Hopeless indeed might De Ine 'housn' of them were 1t not for the things represented by Christmas Day. There is no hopelessness in the thought or them now for Christmas day and its inspiration is the essence of all hope where belief exists.
 The Eddy-Glover post will ask the common council to have those pillars made fresh again to typify the con stantly renewed tribute we would pay to the memories of the men whose sacrifice they represent It would be most proper for the city fathers 70 {, fake this fitting action inspired by sentiment which should never pc allowed to fade.

HOSPITAL REPORT.

The report of the New Britain gen. eral hospital for the month of Novem- Der, when analysed, shows splendid achievements. Viewed financially the receipts of the hospital were prac- tically $3,o0O greater in that month than they were in November of last year, while the expenses were less than $1,0o0 more than in that month last year although there were more cases handled, a greater number of days treatment given.
 Of especial human sinterest is the fact that there were the same num- Der of deaths in November of this year as in the same month last year despite the greater number of pa tients received, and there were, also, the same number of accident cases cared for Fewer employees did the increased work and the per capita expense was reduced from $3.51 last year to $3.43 this year.
 The reports evidence of Increased efficiency and improving financial condition would not be satisfactory were it not for the fact that it is be- lieved the hospital maintains its high standards in manner of treatment This, after all, is the important mat ter. As far as it is possible to do the report indicates this to be the fact. Expression of popular opinion corrob- orateS this testimony and gives a sense of security to the people of this city regarding their hospital facilities which will soon be equal to those of any city of the size of New Britain.

PATENTS.

The pessimist who is sorry he did not live years ago because at that time there was a chance for origi- nality should take note of the 1act that each of the last three years has seen jump in the number of patents applied for. Each invention brings new chances for originality, for each invention develops new field or activity. What chances for original ity appeared when the automobile became SO common! sJust as long as man lives so long will there be chance for the mind of man to dis cover new ways of doing old things, new things to do and new parapher- nAlia with which to do them. These new fields being opened there comes demand for implements for those new fields
 < The year 1920 saw an unheard of increase in the number of applica- tions for patents. In 1921 the num- Der rose from 102,49O to 1o7,600 and in the fiscal year ending last June the number reached the total of 113,- 597. It is interesting to note. also, that the patent office pays it's own way, the last report showing a net profit of receipts over expenses of $172,os1.
 Support of any movement to in crease the number of employees in the Patent office should come from a community such as this, the birth place of many patents. eThe office is behind in it's work and such condi- tion discourages attempts to patent devices that would be of great advan- tage to manufacturing and to the individuals whose ingenuity resulted in the improvement. The field is wide open for invention and will never be closed.

KIND YouNG FOLKS.

r Many of the very young people of the city arc thinking of other very young people just now and helping to make their Christmas happy one. The efficient young members of the New Britain Junior Achievement clubs have already prepared no packages of toys, wearing apparel and other things made by these young members for their small brothers and sisters" whom, perhaps, they have never seen but whose holiday time would be rather sad, possibly, were it not for their thought of them.
 The Boys club has been busy and the young mechanics who have learned many practical things through the club instruction have turned their hands to generous deeds at a time when generous action is in the very air.
 Reinforcement" "efficiency"-these are splendid ideas to give the young people for their own sake. It is well, however, that there is being added to these very practical advantages an emphasizing of the sentiment which inspires thoughtfulness of others.

FATHER WINTERS.

It is peculiarly appropriate at this season of the year. when the spirit of Christmas is all pervading, to mem tion the work of men whose life infiu- ence has been to intensity that spirit, to emphasize the splendor of the ideal of Peace on Earth, Good Will Toward Men," made tangible in the life of Him the anniversary of whose birth we celebrate on Christmas day.
 For forty-two years Rev. J. T.. Winters, with the sanction of his church, has been thus engaged. There are many others in the world, in this city, whose lives have been devoted to their labor which to them is one of love. The devotion of the priest who has worked 50 faithfully in this city is especially mentioned because he has just observed the forty second anniversary of his ordi- nation. He typifes. in his church, the standards, the ideals, constantly being sought to be. upheld by priests and clergymen of other denomina- tions. Such men bring to a commit nity that reflection of the great light in which joy, happiness, love are warmed into life. Honor such men and let there be expression of such honor at this Christmas season.

susrENpING LICENSES.

Some slight satisfaction may be felt that the driving automobile licenses of i.e9o persons were suspended in the first eleven months of the year just closing, This, number Is soc greater than that of last year and shows either that the law Is being enforced more strictly or that oper- ators of motor vehicles are more careless than formerly. The increased number of cars In use In the state this year over last year would not account for the proportionately great increase in the number Of punish ments "Fr
 Eliminating the AT cases where the suspension was due to the opera ton of car without q license, the chief reason for punishment was that of driving cars while under the innu- ence Of liquor. Probably liquor Is no easier to get this year than it was last year. although there were 112 more people punished for this breach of the law this year than there were In 1921. while the comparison of the 1922 and the 1921 figures in other cases where the licenses were sus- pended shows little difference, con- sidering the increase in the number of cars in use. 3-,
 The significance of these statistics and the matter they suggest is that special attention should be given to this phase of the automobile driving laws and ordinances. It is quite probable that the number of accidents from all sources will increase as the automobile becomes more common, although constant emphasizing of the importance of careful driving may educate people so that the reverse will be true. But certainly care should be taken that the increase in this violation of the law, namely the driving while intoxicated, should not be allowed to continue at a greater rate than other causes of accidents.
