10, THE POOR INDIAN.

Pathos permeates the atmosphere Of the picture Of tho awful condo ton to which the white man has reduced the Indian. Inconccivably terrible to contemplate are the per nicious paths by which the white man has reduced tho Redskin to a state Of hopeless helplessness into which there stream but few rays of radiant sunshine to bring prospect of pleasure. Gone arc the games of gay savagory, gone are the glorious ec- stasies Of unlimited license to loose wild emotion, to revei in recreation red with blood Of beasts and man.
 Numbed into compromising com plaisancc by the fierce fire water of tho white man, the trusting, simple hearted savage moved meditatively back from his happy hunting grounds as the pale face approached, bearing in his pcrsuadinG palms bottles black with iniquity and insensibility. Back, back the Indian retreated untiF all that was his became the domain of the white man to be det tastated de- stroyed or depopulatcd tC suit the selfish schemes Of the pale face. True, some little casual care has been talk en of the Indian as he recovered from his debauch. induced by the practices and persuasion of tho whites, but such acts Of interest far from made up for tho awful saerificcs he has been forced to make.

MORE BUILDING GENERALLY

Comes another indication of the confidence In the future. There is greater building activity in the north eastern states Of this country.
 Roger Babson has pointed out that New England has been one Of the first portions Of the United States to turn the corner" He has prophesied, back ing his statement with soldid facts. a better year for New England than the one just passed. He has said more encouraging things Of the New Eng land outlook than of the prospects in any other part of the country.
 When, therefore. there comes news tending to show indications of better times in some division of the land larger than New England. the en- couragement may be taken to apply to this section of the country especial ly
 With this in view it is pleasant to note that an authoritative review of building activities shows record of construction activities which exceeds by 49 per cent building work in Jan uary, 1921. The total amount of con- tracts awarded last month in the 27 northeastern states was the second largest amount for any January Tor several years. There was 1 6 per cent but. the record made for January is considered of greater importance and of more significance in the encour- agement it brings.

ST. VALENTINES DAY

No one should mar the memories Of every mans. every woman's childhood and the associations of the celebration of St. Valentines Day. by delving into history of truth and myth to discover whence originated the pretty custom Of remembering others on this day, with token which is allowed to ex- press perhaps a little more depth of feeling than boy or girl, youth or maid possesses for friend Of the other sex.
 Today small boys and small girls are looking at the valentines mysteri- ously appearing and blushingly com paring those or the one they received with those or the one of others. Each is cherishing some heart-shaped affair colored gloriously and brilliantly, and. in the cherishing the token is being mussed out of all semblance of it's former appearance.
 Small boys are going about, tongues in cheeks, trying to look innocent when some girl accuses them of hav- ing dared to honor her with more or less poetically written declaration that she is his valentine.
 And grown people are looking on, sometimes little wistfuly always sympathetically and thinking that they would not mind, just for little while if the years were to turn back and they. too, could forget the tem- porary unpleasantness attendant upon the business of the day and give their thoughts unreservedly to things of the vital interest of St. Valentines day as it comes to the young
 So, like Shakespeare, one may turn from the more or less dubious tracing of the origin, of..the custom. and take it for granted that ths old notion Is coYrect-that upon this day the birds begin to mate, and one may enjoy the pleasure of the very young who in- nocent as the birds, dare to make per haps their timid overtures Of affection on this, St. Valentines Day.

GIRLS AND NEWSPAPERS

 and dislikes Of the young women Of Connecticut College, in regard to newspapers and what they contain It Is said that the replies of the junior and senior girls to.aueries of a well known periodical recently show that they like general news better than any other portions of their favorite paper, 1t being given 42 first choices and 2S second choices. Next in order Of preference came local news, with 25 and 24 votes. The editorials had to be satisfied with third choice, with II first choices. 10 seconds, 191thirds, 22 fourths and Ii hfths. Foreign news, which one might think would be con- fused with general news. was fourth, receiving five firsts and IF seconds. Features received one first choice and seconds
 The superior young women took a silent fling at the "Woman's Page" Only one is said to have given first choice and no one voted 1t second choice. Eighteen of the girls took pains to asert that it was next to the least important part of the paper, and SS marked 1t least important of all. The fact that the Atlantic Monthly was voted the most popular maga- zine, with the Saturday Evening Post and the Literary Digest following, dis closes something of the character of the reading enjoyed by these young women. But the fact that none rank fashions" first in their reading makes one wonder if they were quite honest in their voting Fifty liked fiction best, thirty preferred general articles and four named housekeeping depart ments as most enjoya able--which sug- gests that the young women have something in their minds other than marriage or thoughts of home.
 Showing that the girls have ideas on the subject of how paper might be- come more popular they suggested, in response to a query that 1t would be g good idea to add to the papers more literary reviews, a college department, poetry and woman in business de- partment
 Valuable as the knowledge of the college girls preferences s it must be remembered that they voted with the atmosphere of college and college work about them. and presumably, in many instances, they voted for what they felt they should like, not what they did like or what they would na- turally like were they to be outside of college. Certainly, were they at home, they would have given more votes for the local news. If they were married they would have cared more for the housekeeping departments lhese are merely instances, and the vote taken must be considered essen- tionally the vote of college girls at college. A newspa per having a circula- tion among men and women practical ly all Of whom are not in college would get into difficulties Immediately were 1t to cater to their tastes eXclu- svely.
 Believing in college education, however, and admiring those who persevere in their studies for thA pur- pose Of making the most of them selves, humble newspaper editors will be glad to know of the likes and dis likes of these young women, and whenever practical seek to earn their approval

HOUSING CONFERENCE.

The housing situation in New Brit ain is not as perplexing as it was a; year ago. There are homes to be had, it is true.
 But there, might be an improve ment in the matter of rents which are pretty directly connected with the tax rate. The rent charged in many cases, taken in conjunction with the fewer chances to earn money and the lower amounts it is possible to earn, make the housing situation such that a consideration of it and measures of relief might help. In other words the rents, still high considering the scarcity of money, practically take away the advantage gained from the fact that there are more places in which one may live.
 President Harding is reported to be considering the question which is acute in some localities. A confer ence has been suggested as a means of possibly offering some relief.
 New Britain was cheated out of any good from the conference regarding unemployment cheated, because New Britain had done the thing all ready which the conference advised should be done. And from those things New Britain did, the employ ment bureau, the issuing bonds to provide city work for the unem- ployed and the interesting of welfare organizations, much good came, as much good came to other localities from doing these things after they had been suggested by the unemploy- ment conference.
 New Britain has not done anything about the housing situation. Were a housing conference to be held, therefore, and were it to suggest re- lief and means of betterinS con- ditions as it did in the unemploy- nent matter New Britain would be ready to take advantage of such sug- gestions.
 The idea that building more homes, building more places where people may live, must come that all may live well and prosper, is too firmly fxetf in the minds of the wise to stand in any danger from the action of such a conference. Such a gath ering would take no steps which would discourage individuals or cor porations from continuing building activities. The possession of apart ment houses or other houses for the purposes, of renting them would not become Nalueless because of the re- suits of such conference. The inter- csts of landlords would, therefore, be guarded Nevertheless the tenants would be aided for that would be the purpose of the conference. 1t is worth trying New Britain is ready to sec what might be done about it.
