COST OF GOOD HEALTH.

It may be said safely, according to the figures given from data of the state department of health, that the health precautions which are taken here cost less than in any of the larger cities of the state, This state ment would be an implied slur upon the city were disease and i'll health to be the rule here. It might be said in such case, that we do not spend enough for such precautions and that we are menace to the rest of the state.
 But disease does not thrive here; ill-health is the exception, not the rule. It costs Bridgeport three times as much per capita to pay for the care taken of health there and yet the smallpox epidemic spread in that city. Possibly the cost of fighting the dis case enters into these figures making them high. But the fact remains that we pay comparatively little as com pared with other sizeabe cities for looking out. for the health of our res idents. And yet the last report of the health superintendent showed very few contagious diseases and the health of the city good.
 The superintendent and the board of health are to be congratulated on the situation disclosed by these fig ures The people are to be congratu- lated upon the general conditions here as reported recently. And it is sug- gested that when the cry of extraNa- gance is raised the health board be not included in the denunciation.

is not practically required of em'
 ployers by the law,
 There Is the workmen's compensa-
 ton act, for instance, by which a workman Is recompensed for injury and even then the workman assumed certain risks when he took his job, He did 80 voluntarily; the soldiers, sailors and marines had no choice, Re 1t said to their credit that most oi them would have fought anyway, but the fact remains that they had no choice
 Aside from the law the employer takes care of his faithful worker, the servant in his house if injury or sick ness comes. The appreciatve om- ployer gives employees n bonus, often annually. The wise employer If means arc available as in some great corpor- ations, trains it's or his employees.
 Compare these things 10 what many of the eN-seryice men gave--to what all of them were prepared to give Then dare say that this country has given them anything worth mention- ing in return--dare to say that this country could ever give them any thing that would begin to make up for what the ex-fghters gave or stood ready to give if called upon.
 Let politicians and capitalists and economic experts raise all the argu- ments they care to against doing any thing more for the eX-serNicc men. Let them plead poverty or ineXpe- dency. Let them call upon ex-service- men to continue to bear, physically, the heaviest burdens of the nation. But let no man or woman intimate that already this country has done enough for it's former fighters. Let all men and women be ashamed to inti- mate by word or suggested thought that the debt is possible of cancella- ton. .........

WASHINGTON-GENOA.

April tenth, Italian Foreign Min ister Schanzer will speak at the open ing of the Genoa conference and will outline the program of the conference. It is possible that Premier Facta will have taken some of the point from what Schanzer will say, as the former inaugurates the conference and states its object, but it is probable that the Foreign Minister will be in a posi- ton better calculated to represent the sentiment, the aim, which is to domi- nate the gathering
 Secretary of State Hughes words in his speech at the opening of the Washington conference startled the world. In their train came enthus- iasm. The Ten year naval holiday had all the persuasive ring of an ad- vertising slogan and started the con- ference off with the good wishes of all who longed for cessation of war and making preparations for war. Ihose words put the people in the interested, hopeful frame of mind which was shown later in the millions of inqulr- ies and suggestions which poured in to the delegates at Washington. They started the feeling of unison among nations from which alone. will come the good results of that conference if good results do come.
 Possibly Italy's first words will have something of the same effect, but it is to be doubted. An American may be pardoned for saying that, under pres ent conditions, such suggestions look ing to peace and general, mutual CO., operation, are forceful only when com- ing from nation as strong as are we and as able to back our mild sugges- tions with a force all would recognize.

A NEW BRITAIN POET

Edward Hungerford, son of Judge and Mrs. F. B. Hungerford of this city, has been elected class poet for the senior class at Trinity college Hartford. This is signal honor for the young man and for this city.
 New Britain stands firm in its posi- ton as a great manufacturing city. By this reputation she is known tlA ,ghout this country and abroad She will hold this reputation through good times and time not so good for New Britain never has what are really bad times when conditions in other cities during economic de- presssions arc taken into considera- ton.
 New Britain, with the Normal school and the other excellent schools, the musical societies and the diff ferent organizations presenting con- stantly scientists, educators and musi- 1, clans, does not fall short or her duty to the people here along broad lines of culture.
 These things being so it is especially fitting to speak a word of congratula- tion to young Mr. Hungerford for the honor he has won, and to note the fact that New Britain is glad to claim him. To be elected class poet at a college such as Trinity means far more than that the person thus honored is clever with his pen-that he can write what is commonly but err roneously called poetry" The cleo tion means that the young man pos sesses real poetic ability which prom ises much and which may bring honor to this city some day as being the home of one who has added to the literary wealth of the country.

NEW WEALTH

Granted that more money in the possession of the people would bring greater prosperity if that money, which is of no value unless backed by something of value. has behind it something of real value immediately convertible into money. Then the re- verse Is true. namely the mere exist ence of evidences of supposed value are worthless unless such evidences mean that there is more wealth in the country.
 The manufacturing Of raw material into finished products creates more wealth if that finished product is use full. It is not useful unless it is want ed-unless people will pay for it. Yearly. in tn, country, there may be manufactured. if employment is normal, a surplus of goods over the amount needed in this country. If that surplus is disposed of outside this country 1t will bring to this land evi- dences of wealth which have behind them something of value. If it is pos sible to arrange for a disposal of such ; surplus the labor available to create 1t will be employed, making en- ployment normal with resultant bene- fit to the people here.
 This is the theory behind the solid, sound argument that facilitating for eign trade, especially export .trade. will tend to make for better economic t conditions here. A great export trade e brings more wealth to this country because it brings here more money other than by the creation of more real wealth or by bringing into the may the people have more money that will be based on sound value. France by land values, but she failed because she could not stop when the values had been exhausted. Gold, interna- tionally and intrinsically valuable and always convertible immediately into true money. is the only basis on which money may be issued safely.

time every year and prepare 10 write something funny about poor father preparing to meet an avalanche Of bills for Easter millinery They cant do that now because meeting bills for millinery is a continuous process. The fathers of those days thought they were unfortunate when In truth, they had much to be thankful for. There were about three seasons to the year. Now, from a millinery standpoint there is season nearly every two months; perhaps less. Buying 2. new hat was once an event. Today 1t Is almost too commonplace to cause dis cussion. The hat mother used to wear at Easter wouldn't pass muster for every day raimept with the girls of the present generation. The dear little things must have Q hat for morn- ing and one for afternoon and, of course, 1t wouldn't do for them to wear either when they go to the movies in the evening.
 Some day someone will invent a gas which may be administered to father so that paying bills will be- come painless operation. During the war we became familiar with the phrase military secret. But any wom- an can tell you millinery secrets which would shock the life out of Friend Husband if he discovered them-that Friend Wife is paying $2 week to- ward her last hat, for example:
 Once upon a time man with half an eye could tell when Easter Sunday arrived. Now every Sunday is Easter. from millinery standpoint. A woman buys hat and has 1t sent home. By the time the messenger arrives, the headgear Is out of date and he has to take 1t back.
 We could keep this up all day, but what's the use. Some day we may want to run for dog warden-and the ladies have the vote.

THE DEBT TO FIGHTERS.

No one in this country should ever say that the country has done much
 for its eN-serrice men. Compared to what those men have done for it the country has done nothing. Insurance. vocational training, care Of the wound- ed, a sixty dollar bonus-much of the money spent by the country for these things has been paid in cash by the service men. but that is immaterial. Not one of the things done for ex- service men is a thing that is not done by private employers or which

Our Streets,

Is it necessary to wait for "Clean Up Week before loose papers are picked up about town?
 It is hard for people to be proud of a city whose streets are unsightly. Nothing makes a worse appearance than loose papers blowing around. This condition exists on almost any side street in New Britain, and no one seems to care. Storekeepers and tenants set the papers loose. No one stops them, and no one picks the papers up. Why not?
