 This state of affairs will not last long. The day will como when the people cannot be persuaded to "co- operate" And the letter Of the com missions says, most wisely, despite the fact that the decision seems to ignore such wisdom; "A utility cannot be expected adequately to serve the pub lie without that cooperation and as- sistance on the part of the public which will allow the utility, under wise and economic management, to exist in e financially sound and healthy condition ......-
 The New Britain public is ready to give that necessary cooperation, as the public of Norwalk has given it where the chance has been offered Undoubtedly, the Norwalk public will give it to a fuller extent under the extension of the five cent fare
 Extend that five, or six cent fare to New Britain. and the publc's CO., operation will prove its worth.

MOTHER OF MINE
z $ 4

Mother of mine, my mother,
 Gentle, and oh so fair, Sweater than any other,
 Beauteous, wondrous, so rare; Oh how your boy has missed you Throughout the long lost years, Here since the time he kissed you Bidding goodbye through the tears Swiftly the seasons have vanished In life's precipitant pool. Hopes, high and owy. are banished Fevers grow fainter, and cool; Ever the end cometh nearer
 Under eternity's way; Yet ev'ry hour holds you dearer, Mother Of mine, day by day. Manhood may mark us for others, Sharing our sorrows and joys; Still. in the hearts of our mothers We always are little boys. Mother of mine, watch above me, Keeping your boy in the right, Never forgetting to love thee,
 So long as the day follows night Pray for me all through the trial, Watching the veal and the woe, There where the suns sacred dial Marks of the moments that flow. My Guardian Angel, be with me While I am nearing the line, For ever, for aye, to be with thee, 0 fairest, o mother of mine.

toms of oden times Not sol Not so'
 Years ago girls entered the charmed circle of the baseball experts, But they were considered curiosities, those Boston Bloomers' of twenty years ago. they were not emulated in any particular-and some Of the bloom ers' wer. not particular in any sense by their sisters all over the coun- try
 But now! Only few days ago two girls teams from two institutions of supposed learning battled against each other, Nor were they content to do things in q decently conservative manner. They were inspired to dash mortified scorer was unable 10 tabu- late the number of "home runs'--a name which the modern maiden will undoubtedly change because of their antipathy to "home''-made, and so that the runs counted totalled somc- thing over eighty.
 Nor could the game be continued its proper, decorous, time -honored length of nine innings. No, It was ended at the seventh inning And why? Not because of darkness, not because the players had 10 catch trains--the regular excuses made worthy by tradition. No! The game had to be called because of the bring ing into it the terrible matter of women's attire. One of the girls tore hole in her stocking and refused to continue. .
 Nothing will remain inviolate.

Member of \. s. Parliament Urges Money to Encouraging Sailing Races.

Member of \. $. Parliament Urges Money to Encouraging Sailing Races.
 Halifax, May 13.-When William Duff, M. F.. for l.unenberg, N. s. arose in parliament and requested a grant of S5,000 to encourage sailing races between the deep sea fishing vessels of Canada and those of other nations he raised the question wheth- CT the government should aid an in- ternational contest which may delay progress, because it is encouraging sail in it's last stand against the en- encroachments of mechanical power.
 MT. Duff told the house that two sailing vessels had been built in New England and two in Nova Scotia dur ing the past winter to compete in the international ocean races to be held off Gloucester this fall. When these races were instituted, New England had practically ceased to build fishing vessels relying entirely on sail; and in Nova Scotia too most of the newer fishing vessels were being equipped with motor engines and propelers in addition to sails. If it had not been for the international races it is pretty safe to say fishing vessels of auxiliary mechanical power would have been built in New England last winter.

INTERESTING EXPERIMENT.

The amalgamated clothing workers of America are going to operate the soviet clothing and textile factories in Russia, if plans enthusiastically con- ceived and adopted work out.
 The Russian government is going to allow the workers from this coun- try to contribute their skill and their money and the Soviet is going to furnish the factories, equipment and raw materials for which, it will prob- ably develop. the American workers money will pay directly or indirectly
 Then whatever is made in profits over ten per cent is going to be de- voted to extension" of the project Both workers from this country and the Soviet are to be represented on the board of management
 Of course, in making these plans and in becoming enthused over the prospect the workers from America understand that the Soviet govern ment nationalizes all property that profits from any enterprise conducted in Russia belong to all the people of Russia and that the government can not give absolute title to any prop erty once it becomes part of the na- tional wealth by being taken into Rus sla and made part of that country's riches? Of course the American workers, so enthusiastic over this plan, realize that there is some little diff culty at Genoa because Russia says she cannot pay for property the Soviet has taken from foreigners because that property has become national lzed? Of course the American work CTS realize these things and are quite content to let the fruits of their cap ital and labor become Russianzed.
 The experiment will be an interest ing one-for those who watch: sad one, it is feared, for those who work.

MOTHERS DAY.

new aspect has come 10 Moth CTS Day" Nothing new may take away one bit Of the sacredness asso- ciated with the memory, possessed by the old and the middle aged, living today, of their mothers, white Of hair, gentle, sweet, loNing-the mother of song and story, of sentiment and dreams. They lived and inspired the lives of those who knew them-the most wonderful beings in the world, the mothers Of the past. The flowers that will be placed before old pho- tographs in memory of them, and the tributes that will be offered to them will be true tokens of the deep feel ing they inspired. Reverend respect surrounds the thought of such honor, such tribute.
 But the mothers Of today, just as fine, just as true, just as loyal and un selfish, bring new light to Mothers Day" Many of them, instead of wait ing at home for the daughter to come in from the first ball" and pour into sympathetic ears "all about it." go to that first ball' themselves, just as gaily, just as thoroughly in the spirit of the affair as the girls themselves. This is the new light, typical of the mother of today, that will come to the observance of this day in the fu lure. And, years from now, when the old, the middle-aged, look back into the past and honor the memory of mother, they will see her, bright and young and full of the joy Of life, ac- tive in her sympathy with the pleas ures Of her children, as were the mothers of the old days glad to wait and watch, their hearts full of love that held no thought of self
 . And always may Mothers Day be one of real meaning for the thoughtful the sincere people of the world,

DOING AWAY WITH FIREWORKS

The national association of insur- fireworks and the old-fashioned cele- bration of Fourth of July must go. II is dangerous to life and limb and property they declam from their highly idealistic post. Adverse prop aganda to the abolshment of fire works is anticipated in the "Insur- ance Press" which characterzes an argument by the dealers as "senti- mental sobber about depriving the children of the present generation of the fun their daddies had etc. Naturally the dealers are pre- judiced- they sell fireworks to tie youngsters and make money thereby.
 The underwriters arguments in our opinion, and we have had fire exper- fence, are fully as prejudiced-they expect to reduce the fire hazard and that is what interests them With lower fire hazard the companies writ ing fire insurance will make more money on their risks. This idealistic bunk. not sentimental slobber," about saving fingers and toes of the popu- lace is advanced by the companies, not for the sake of humanity. but for the sake of making money for the companies.
 Time was when we thought that na- tional organizations similar to the un- derWriters were possibly actuated by a real sense of humanity, but that was before we had fire We found out at that time just what lire insur- ance procedure is on the part of many companies. Since the fire we accept any movement sponsored by the companies, such as safety first" weeks. fire prevention moves and so forth at their real value. It is nice to be inspired by real sense of duty and service to humanity, fine But HuiHdHllS De uaTHeu where money IS concerned whether we consider. in this case, the underwriters or the fireworks dealers. The world we submit, is being ''bunked" to death | by many an organization which finds reasonable sounding presumption upon which to base arguments that really have an entirely different bear appears upon the surface.

ONE GENOA RESULT

The Genoa conference, whatever happens, cannot be said to have been held in vain. One result is already ap- parent namely, it has been discovered through the gathering of delegates from the nations, as it might have been discovered in no other way, how hopeless it is to treat with Russia, using the logic familiar to the think CTS of other nations, while Russia clings to her communist nationaliza- ton of property idea, No one can reach an agreement with another when that other starts out with a fundamentally different basis for reasoning. It is no use to try to decide with another, whether or not a certain bit of cloth is pink unless both agree that there is a color pink" and have that sample with which to compare the disputed piece of cloth.'
 It has been discovered at Genoa that there IS no common foundation from which base, through argument, sound and just conclusion may be reached. This fact having been es- abolished, the commission to study the situation in regard to Russian debts, credits and private property. as suggested now. might work intelli- gently, knowing always, in all it's dis cussions. the viewpoint of Russia in these matters and basing any con- clusions reached on facts as seem from that viewpoint
 Although it has been denied that the United States has offered any suggestions in line with the commis. sion suggested by Lloyd George, it is quite possible that he know-the United States would favor such inves- tigation, the deliberations being H. luminated by the light Of the new Knowledge of the extent to which Russia's financial fallacy possesses her.

ouigley, Paonessa's opponent. at the polls.
 It Is said that on the night follow ing the republican primaries, when Curtis was laid low by Quigley, Curtis sought Paonessa and discussed the prospects of the election. While Paonessa was confident of victory he realized that any help which could be obtained from any quarter could be used to good advantage. Accord ing to the story, Curtis thought he might be of some assistance In de- feating his old foe. Quigley, and eX- pressed a desire to help the demo- cratic candidate as much as possible. The result was. the story goes, that Curtis agreed to help Paonessa with the understanding that if elected, Paonessa was to appoint him Cur tis) chairman of the water commits sion, which office carries, with 1t the sweet salary of 1000 per annum. It is related that Curtis carried out his agreement.
 The next chapter is written by the democratic members of the common council. They learned of the agree ment and decided to prevent its con- summation. if possible. Rumor has it that they had session with the newly elected mayor and threatened to obstruct his every move should he execute his plan to appoint the ex- mayor head of the water board. 1tis i'm possible to check up a! the facts in the case because the parties con cerned naturally refuse to talk. Color is given the story. however, by the recollection that soon after Paonessa was elected mayor 1t became gener- ally known that he intended to ap- point Curtis to the chairmanship Of the water board. Then the name of Curtis suddenly dropped from the list of eligibles and that was the last heard of it.

SHORTAGE OF BOYS
 TO WORK ON LINKS
Countrys Golf Clubs Find it Hard to Get Good Caddies Even At
 35 Gents An Hour.

Chicago, May 13 (By Associated Press)-There is a great shortage of labor, despite the depression, in one field, the golf links. where caddies are too few. to fill the demand. This fact is cited in statement sent out by the caddy committees of the coun- trys golf clubs as related in inter change of ideas as to how enough caddies may be procured. The short age is partly due to the unevenness of employment but the main reason is the situation of golf links as re- lated to large families. Another in
 1uence is the fact that boy more than 16 years old who caddies be- comes a professional and yet does not receive any more pay than an urchin of 12. The pay is good, ranging from | 20 to 35 cents an hour depending on the club and the ability of the lad. | The boy who is mere club ctE rier and goes dragging after his player, longing more for sandwich than for a chance to serve in finding the ball or selecting the proper club gets the smaller wage while the alert youth ranks higher and gets his re- | ward.
 With the spread of golf fever in America it has been suggested that full quota of caddies be hired by the week and paid out of the club treasury, which in turn would col lect for busy time from the employ ing player. The difference If any, would be charged to a caddy fund or collected from the greens committee if the boys worked on the links at spare times. This plan would insure enough caddies for Saturday after moons and holidays but would leave a surplus through the week when the links is comparatively quiet in Am erica as compared with Great Britain where everyone plays every day ex- lcept Sunday.
