who refuse 10 allow their children to be vaceinated how the law regards them, Whether or not the penalty provided would apply to members of the school board may be a question, but quite possibly 1t would "Every person who shall refuse to be vac einated" reads section 2t3a, "or pre- vents person under his care and control from being yaeeinated, on ap- plication being made by the health officer or board of health or by phy- siclan employed by the health officer or board Of health for the purpose unless in the opinion of another physi- elan 1t would not be prudent on ac- count of sickness, shall be fined not more than five dollars"
 Section 2434 provides, for violation Of any provision the chapter or vio- lation in any legal order of the board Of health for which no other penalty is provided, a anc Of not more than five hundred dollars or Imprisonment Of not more than six months, or both.
 It will be noticed that the great general supervision of the city is thus given 10 the board Of health and only n limited power to the school board, which power Is superseded by that of board and health board differ, the health board prevails.

A JUDGES OPINION

Tt is not the policy of the law" says Justice Guy of the New York Supreme Court, that woman who is asking to end the marriage con- tract shall have all the luxury of mar riage. It is the policy of the law that she should be entitled to such an all lowance as would make 1t possible for her to live in the manner in which she has been accustomed. But that the income he receives"
 Probably the learned justice did not want to encourage divorce. Probably he thought that he would discourage other women from seeking divorce if he were to start movement grant, ing smaller sums for alimony than has previously been the custom.
 His decision will start something. The same line of reasoning may be used in the discussion of the pros and cons or LnlS question as tnOSe uSeu III considering whether Imprisonment of criminals is intended to be. a punish ment for them or as lesson to others calculated to prevent others from committing crime. In other words is there anything in the law allowing ali mony to a woman obtaining divorce that is aimed as punishment for husbands, or does the law contemplate making an arrangement whereby the husband may not free himself of financial burden by mistreating his wife to such an extent that she will be able to obtain divorce from the court?
 Anyone who knows Justice Guy will believe that his decision was prompted by the idea that in the law concern ing alimony the law had no intention to punish the man. Quite aside from the question of the punishment the man deserves, and often that punish ment is great, the decision Is good law.

CT or not she is offended as France was offended by the Mccormick res- olution,
 But one is privileged to read be- tween the lines and to snrmise that President Harding is hitting at France over Russia's shoulder, not caring to talk about France in this way, There Is d great difference of opinion in this country as to how large Franees army should be, More over PresideN Harding has no de- sire to bring Frances dsapproval down upon his head, There might come a time when he would want Frances sincere support in some plan of his.
 The combined effect of the Me Cormick resolution and the White House statement Is to prepare the world for the stand that President Harding would take, through rep- 'No'i'utNNi " outl ~ ItpIVptHtuliNN should go to the Genoa conference, This knowledge will spare the dele gates to that assemblage to meet the representative Of the United States, should one be sent, knowing that he would stand for reduction of the land force of the nations Of Europe. The friction that might come following a sudden announce ment of such policy will be avoid- ed, and no criticism of the President could come from European nations because Of a stand Of which they had been previously warned.
 In the manner in which this atti- tude has been shown there may be seen clever manipulation of moves by President Harding. and, 1t Is be- lieved, an indication that he will ia vor representation by the United States at the Genoa conference.

TYPHUS INCREASING
 AMONG REPATRIA7ED
Disease Spreading Among Polish
 People Who Are Returning

Warsaw, Jan. 26.-Government in spectors say there is much typhus among the thousands of Polish men, women and children who are being repatriated from Russia through the camp at BaranoWicze, near the Polish Russian border The disease, they assert, is becoming more widespread as it does each winter as the cold weather sets in.
 Repatriation of the Polish popula- tion which was withdrawn by the Russian armies in 1915 in their re- treat is scarcely half finished. It began last July. Estimates of the number to be repatriated vary from 0,0OO by the Polish commission to 1,300,0OO by the Russian evacuation commission. It is estimated that more than 300,O00 already have passed through the Baranowicze camp alone and that the total num- Der returned to date is approximately 45O,000. The care of these people is in the handss sof the Polish govern-

tween.

Fire Chief Noble has tried to get authority to secure an extra. pump machine for two years. He has been unsuccessful.
 Yesterday the machine of Engine Company No. 1 broke down. How long it will be unavailable is not known as yet It may be a matter of a week.
 Meanwhile the machine from En- zine Company No. will be stationed at Central Fire headquarters for use in it's jurisdiction. This leaves station Mo- without a machine, situation fraught with danger.
 In brief, the breaking of this ma chine, when there is none in reserve to take it's place. leaves the city with a handicapped fire protection through no fault of the tiremen. It is con- dition that ought not to be allowed to exist.
 Luckily so far no horses nave been stolen while this barn door remained unlocked. The horse may disappear, however, before the ink on this state ment is dry. Then probably an extra machine would be secured, just as the Clayton crossing may possibly De made safe after another fatal acci- dent happens there.
 At least this city may lock it's own doors. It may give authority for the purchase of an extra machine with out waiting for persons not particu- larly interested in the safety of New Britain people to act

PRESIDENT STEPS IN,

Evidently the time has been reached at tlv Washington conference when everyone concerned, unless possibly it is China wants the end to come, Japan has shown this disposition, and now President Harding has been consulted on what has developed into one of the main points which blocks a rapid rush toward completing as finally as the conference may com pletc. the agreements" tentatively made,
 This is the matter Of Shantung, All that Is necessary, 1t would seem, Is a mediator. Friends of President Harding would take 1t as compli- ment, his detractors would take 1t as questionable word of praise, to say that as mediator-a man who Is skilled at smoothing out differences, the President Is an expert. At any rate 1t is believed at Washington that calling him in at this time has made the settlement of the Shantung mat ter more than immediately probable. Someone had to give way. China wanted the railroad for herself want ed to manage 1t after having bought it. There has been talk of floating small, popular bonds in that country to pay for it. Japan wanted the money loaned to China. There would thus be string to the railway.
 Nothing definite may be stated as to what sort of compromise was made, or will be made If the plan con- ceived after the good offices of the President had been obtained, is adopted. It is thought, however, that the arrangement contemplates China's purchase of the road through de- ferred payments extending over from ten to twelve or fifteen years China's physical possession Of the road would come within five years. but while she is paying she would aliOW Japanese traffic manager and chief accountant to hold sway.
 On the face of it this arrangement, with the exception of the matter Of the loan to China, seems to be quite in accord with the previously agreed to concessions of Japan. It will be some time before her string upon the road will be loosened. In the mean time China, however will have an opportunity to display her ability to manage the financial burden imposed by the purchase of the road, if the plan is adopted.
 There remains the matter of Japan's pride in her insstence on defining what Japan proper consists of. When this is done, and the Shantung matter settled, it is believed that Japan will give her assent to the other agree ments practically decided upon and the conference will close, for good or for ill or for something half-way be- tween.

ton nature. Selections from
Mozart, Mendelssohn and
other famous composers were
played during the evening and
met with the whole-hearted ap-
prevail Of the large audience. This
was Mr.. Farland's second appear
ance in this community, having
played in the old opera house
