WINTER BUILDING.

Long ago, when the pioneers which began building in this country--in the world for that matter--faced winter with the cold and snows, they prac- tically threw up their hands and turned to other work. They simply could not build when the elements were against them.
 This year. at the beginning of 1922's cold season, the reports are that there will be greater amount of winter building than usual The reports do not go into scientific dis cussion of why this is so. In fact the shortage of skilled labor is mentioned. and it is said that the prospect of no greater supply of labor in the future does not delay building plans now.
 But it is safe to assert that the advance of civilization and the per- lection both of building material and implements rds made it less difficult to proceed Yith building in the winter time thah it was years Ass Rhen practically ian workers had

TURKEY WELCOMES
 AID FROM AMERICA
Insists, However, That Missionary | Schools Pay Taxes and Teach
 Turkish Language.

Lausanne, Nov. s4s eBy Associated Press) Turkeys spokesman at the Lausanne conference. hearing of the arrival of American missionary rep resentatives here expressed the hope that American philantrophic and ed- ucational institutions would not be needlessiy alarmed by the advent of the new regime in Turkey. The Ken- alists agents explained that there was no disposition to drive out Americans, especially those engaged in education and charitable undertakings.
 It was pointed out, however, that Turkey eaw no reason why foreign in- stitutions whether education or indus trial should be dealt with differently than Turkish institutions and that if Turkeys schools and factories paid taxes. then forcing establishments should also. ,
 The Angora delegates declared that there should be no special privileges for foreigners in Turkey and insisted that it should be also understood that all schools whether foreign or Turkish should teach the Turkish language.
 The problem of Thrace and the western boundary of Turkey still oc- cupied the attention of the confer ence today. The sub committee of the full commission on territorial and military questions comprising a grolA of experts was wrestling with the boundary question.

THE DAY NURSERY.

People of New Britain have been
 actually thrilled recently by more
 general knowledge of tic history of
 the Children's home here. The story
 of the anxiety of the policeman, some
 twenty years agerSovse the condition Of three boys of R poor family, lead Ing up to his talk with Rev. J. E..
 klingberg and the latter's taking those boys sto his own homss Then the renting pf first one, house, then two and finally three 10 care for the schildren who were practically home- Iless with the unselfish work of women volunteering to be matrons Iof the homes Tor week at time, and at last the dedication, the other day, of the fine, new home on the ihill where 13QY Ychildren and young
 people are being cared for-this story has been the subject of much com
 ment. sA
 Z With 1t should come considera- ton of a modest institution Of the
 city of which comparatively little is
 heard or known except by those who are enabled, because of it, to earn their living and take care of their own. This institution is the Day Nursery. It is pleasure to write Of a place like this, a work like this, without being forced to do 50 be- cAuse of some drive" or week. which forces the cause, deserving though it may be, to the attention of the people. The Day Nursery. un- der the efficient care of Mrs. Frank O'Brien. took care of 1o6s children in the month of October. Here they are brought and left for the day while their natural guardians work for them. Here they find tender care; here they are at home. It is an institution deserving of far more than it receives. Only those who aid it privately quiet | who do not parade their works, realize fully what a chance there is here, too, for work | similar to that which has prospered l 10 wonderfully in the case of the | Home.

EFFICIENCY OR COURTESY.

It seems a small matter that the
 Mayor of Cleveland has asked tha'
 men riding in elevators in buildingl operated by the city should not re.
 move their hats in elevators out oi courtesy to women passengers. But
 a deep question is involved, with
 arguments for both sides The Mayor
 of Cleveland says the hats take up
 room, when they are held. that might
 be occupied by other passengers.
 Possibly they do.s Mems hats have
 been crushed in, ruined, by others
 who crowded them as they tried to be courteous. But probably those
 men could afford new hats; it was good business for merchants ne el, who sell hats, anyway.
 But the question raised by this seemingly insignificant matter is whether or not this country shall adopt the philosophy of those scien- lists who declare that alL manners and customs should give way before efficiency. achievement. If those philosophers are right probably men ought to keep on wearing hats-and it would not matter what sort of hats they were, either. provided they did the work hats are supposed to do. These same philosophers de- clare that one who has brains and is troubled by trivial matters, such as the cost of coal or a talkative wife should be allowed to steal coal and kicked out his troublesome wife in order that his greater work of en. Tightening the world or creating physical or mental wealth for the world might not be handicappD by small troubles Of this nature.
 On the other hand there is the old school of philosophy, clad in con- regalia, which insists that courtesy, kindliness and gentleness add to the happiness of the world and should be encouraged even at the expense, sometimes, of efficiency Students in this school would be rather worried if they could not pay for their coal and would remark, Certainly, my dear" to the talkative wife, rather than offend her. Of course they are foolish souls in the eyes of such men as those who insist hats should be kept on the heads of men in elevators even though all the rest of the occupants were women.
 Step this way, please, and look upon our representatives of the two schools, Mir Efficient and Mir. Cour- teous take your choice, but be sure to be courteous to MT. Efficient's wife even though Mr. Efficient feels he has a perfect right to be discour- Leous to all the rest of the world his own wife.

THE GREAT MOTHER"

Suppose an awful catastrophe should fall upon our city. Suppose a
 wave Of flame should sweep over 1t, laughing at the attempts Of men to stop it and lcnving-thousands Of dead and suffering in It's wake.
 rNery survivor in the city, possibly. would turn to the work of aiding the victims In. the ruins there would be confusion, weeping and lamenting. Energy would be spent effectively; energy would be wasted because Of inexperience in such rescue work. People would die for want of proper arrangements despite all our local institutions and men, and women could do. New Britain would never forget the awful day.
 But there would come promptly to the scene from all parts of the coun- try, workers of the greatest organiza- ton of it's kind in the world. Ex- perienced men and women would take charge, bringing help to the suf- fering, material comfort to the home- less, food to the starving.
 And this great comforter would be the American Red Cross. The Great Mother has done this thing all over the world. She is ready always to do it. Her soothers of pain are always ready. She stands waiting, always waiting to help.
 Eight hundred people in this city have joined or renewed their mem bership in the Red Cross in the pres ent drive for membership. These 800 have walked into Crowell's Drug store. the Y. w. c. A., the Y. M. c. A.. he Y. M. T.

The drive loses Thanksgiving day. Before that | lay all of us will want to join that trmy.

 In this connection attention is called to the rapid increase in the number of doctors practicing in Ger many, resulting in repeated warnings to the rising generation to follow some other profession. In 1886 there were 16,o00 doctors in the country. Twenty years later this number had swclled to' S2.o00, in 1920 to 36,0oo and apparently by 1925 it, will have reached 5o,ooO.

CHARTER CHANGES.

The move to reduce the number Of councilmen Is wise one. The method matters little as long as the opportu- nity to save the expense of election
 h considered. The main advantage, of course. would be in placing the affairs of the city in the hands Of fewer men who would feel an added responsibility. The fewer the num- ber chosen, the greater are the chances that they will be intelligent and wise. There would be less shift ing of responsibility, and there would be greater amount of knowledge Of city affairs gathered into smaller com pass in body more adapted, because of it's decreased size. for doing busi- ness quickly and intelligently. Every member probably, would know what the other members were talking about Each member would know, it is to be hoped. what he was voting upon.
 The move to increase bonds issued is likewise a wise suggestion. This increase would give the city chance to take advantage to a greater degree of times such as the present, when 1t is advisable to plan sewer, street and subway work, as we'll as school work, for some time to come. When there is good market for municipal, bonds that market should be taken of. The increases sug- gested would meet the growing needs of the growing city--the city that should plan for the future.

 gave vent to their surplus energy in

 much as to their desire to show their
 respect for great man of achieve

 Big man that he Is clemenceau was
 moved by that youth he saw to speak
 to youth, In Washington legislators
 were getting excited over what fhe had
 said in addressing great audience
 in New York, His criticism that
 Ameriea had failed to stand by her associates in inc enforcement of the terms of peace with Germany brought forth severe denunciation from those who are stirred to the depths of their hearts ny any suggestion that tho United States should mingle at all m the councils of the world.
 But at New Haven Clemenceau spoke as q wise teacher would speak who must build a foundation of the essential things before they go into the study of matters that modify such essentials, He emphasized the pri- mary rules in New Haven. In New York, addressing people of mature years and taking it for granted that they lived according to those pri- mary rules he spoke of the excep- tions. In the few minutes Clemen- ceau had at New Haven he told tho Yale men but one thing-the wisdom, the splendor of being, first of all. true to America. A man smaller In spirit than Clemenceau might have chosen to plant in the hearts and memories of the thousands ot young men a feeling that the United States had been unfaithful to a friend. The occasion, one that will be remem- bered always by those who saw and heard Clemenceau speaking under such interesting circumstances, would | have tinged many thoughts with | question about this country of ours. [ The young college men are at an age when the words of a great man | make deep impression. They might easily have come away from that gathering at the station just a little ess patriotic than they were wher, hey marched behind their band to zee the great man of France.
 But Clemenceau did not seize such m opportunity. Be true Amer cans" he said, confident as he was ns his belief that, being such. they, hese young men, would be just and oval to all.

| Buenos Aires, Nov. 24.--To obtain
 standardization of mechanical speci- fications and names in industry
 throughout Pan-America as an cco-
 homie advantage to each country
 is the mission upon which Calvin w,
 Rice. New York engineer, is mak-
 ing a, tour Of South American coun- tries.
 Mir. Rico Is engineering representa- tives In the American section of tho Inter-AmericAn High Commission and. at theysinstance of Secretary Hoover chairman of the American section. he is consulting with tho chairmen of other sections of tho commission and with engineering so- cieties in the various countries. As n representative ofAmerican engineer ing societies at the recent Interna- tional Engineering Conference in Bra gil. he urged standardization there, with the result that resolutions were adopted in support Of the movement He then proceeded to Uruguay where he spoke before the engineers of that country, thence he came to Argen- tina where he likewise has urged up- on the local engineers the advantages of standardization. He next visits Chile.
 Hoover's Idea.
 "Mr Hoover's idea is to do away throughout the countries of the Pan- American Union, just as> he is seek ing in the United States, with the many types of the same manufactured articles that are put on the market" said MT. Rice to The Associated Prass correspondent ''as well as with the different names and measures thatI are used for the same product I have found during my visit that these !! differences exist even in the same country, as in Brazil for instance, in 1 the case of coffee, where in Rio de | Janeiro and Santos different units of ] quantity for quoting the commodity | are used. The economic saving of l standardization Is obvious, but the question is to obtain its adoption, and | this MT. Hoover hopes can be done through the Inter-American High | Commission and by interesting the engineering profession in the various countries in the subject"

MUST PAY EXTRA RATES
Physicians Will Charge
 Outsiders More Than Natives

Bremen, Nov 24.--Americans re- quiring the services of Bremen physician or surgeon will hereafter be charged a fee nine times larger than what is ordinarily paid by the natives. This in accordance with a schedule adopted by the local med ical association. N
 Visitors from other foreign coun- tries also will have to pay higher rates, in proportion to the esteem in which their respective currencies are held by the local doctors Although the dollar commonly commands the highest respect of foreign moneys among Germans, United States citi- .zens suffer less than those of a mum Der 6f other coWatries in the new tariff. Swedes will be charged 13 times the usual fee, Swiss 10 times, English and Dutch nine times, and French and Italians six times.
 New rates for natives have been announced by the association. Ad- vice will be given for 120 marks dur ing the day. Together with a consult tation, this service will be rendered in the daytime for 24o marks, and at night for 360. An ordinary day visit will cost 200 marks, an urgent caH 400, night visit 600, and a second or a nasty diagnosis without investigation 100..
 A young surgeon here requires 500,- 900 marks capital now to provide himself with suitable establish ment on which to hang out his shingle." It costs him 100000 marks to buy the necessary instruments alone. A syringe which cost 10 marks before the war now sells for 2 1900 marks. Other items range from 120 marks for a dozen surgical nee dies to 10000 for. an instrument cab
