COMMUNICATED.
THE HEALTH DEPT. CAR

' In reference to the articles that have recently appeared in our local papers regarding the action taken by the municipal garage committee at their meeting Monday evening, De- cember 4th, which member of this committee, MT. Rice, critlcizes the ae- ton and challenges the vote of the two industrial representatives on this committee, Messrs. Bell and Atwater.
 We wish to inform the people Of our city that there was nothing that could be challenged in reference to the vote cast Monday evening. IL was not voted to purchase a Hupmobilc auto mobile. The vote was cast only as a recommendation by the garage com mittee as to what car they would sug- gest purchasing for the health depart ment. MT. Rice's statement is entire ly misleading. All our committee can dogis make suggestions as to the op- eration and maintenance Of the muni- cipal garage.
 Mir. Rice would have been better performing the duties of councilman, If he had remained at the meeting until the question of the car was set tied instead of crticising the action of the committee after he had seen fit to leave the meeting.
 We thank you for allotting space to. clarify the misrepresentation that has been made to the public.
 Yours very truly,
 J. r. ATWATER,
 w. l.. BELL.

GOVERNOR WAS FREE
 WITH HIS CARESSES
Miss Birkhead TestifeS He Kissed
 Her Frequently V

fOxford, Miss, Doc. 7.-Miss Frances Birkhead, a star witness yesterday in her sl00,00o damage suit against Lee NJ. Russell, governor of Mississippi, based on charges of seduction and other serious allegations, faced an ad- ditional period on the witness stand in federal court here today she just had entered upon s-examination when court adjourned yesterday.
 Governor Makes Denial Governor Russell preceded the young woman on. the stand and was examined briefly, having been called by plaintiff counsel as an adverse witness. He denied all the charges contained in Miss Birkheads petition and declared he had not stated in the presence of former Governor. Theo- dore c. Bibo of Mississippi that he was responsible for her condition or that he had requested Mir. Bilbo to make an effort to have the matter settled. The governor is expected to be called to the stand later by his counsel.
 <. An attachment has been issued di- fecting MT. Biibo to appear as a wit ness.
 Girl Gives Testimony
 2 In her direct testimony, Miss Birk- head told of her alleged relations with the governor while she was employed by him as stenographer during the gubernatorial campaign in 1918. { "The governor appeared interesting and told me he loved me-" she said. rHe told me he was going to get a divorce"
 Was Perfect Lover { He never left the office without kissing me good bye" Miss Birkhead testified further on in her examina- tion. x l z She denied a statement of the gov-. ernor that she had made charges against the superintendent of state tuberculosis institution similar to those brought against the governor. She declared that she had been ap- preached by men purporting to repre- sent the governor who. made her an offer of money to sign a letter which would in effect have absolved the gov ernor from any wrong doing. She re- fused to sign she stated.
 Governor Russell testified he at no time authorized payments to Miss Birkhead other than her salary and that he knew of no money having been offered her for such purposes as she alleged.

WHY THE DELAY?

Under the present arrangement the people of the country, disgusted, per- haps, with the action or inaction' of the men they have sent to Congress, discharge many of those men by votes at the polls, and elect others. Then the discharged employees of the peo- ple go along drawing their pay just the same for thirteen months and con tinue to represent the people who have fired" them Finally, after over a year has passed the new members Of Congress, the men the people have hired to take the place of the ones who did not do as the people wanted them to, come into the positions to which the people have elected them. Of course. having been fired" the de- feated members of Congress are not especially keen about the, people" their boss. They may even have a grudge against that boss Certainly they VIII Dt ho Hioit iepicScito'iNS oi the people during those thirteen months than they were before-and the people have decided that they were not representive at all in that time.
 No employer would care to have a man hanging around the works for 13 months after he had discharged him, for, possibly, very good reason. He would want the new man on the job. The new progressive or liberal bloc advocates constitutional amendment providing that the newi members of Congress shall be on tho job shortly after they have been eleSted. It is a

SOME LITTLE RELIEF

The vaudeville actor stood close to the footlights. his eyes upturned, his hands npraiscd, tears in his voice. "She prayed for bread" he sighed, "and the curtain canA down with roll"
 We feel somewhat as 'she" did. We prayed for reduced trolley fares. First we were granted a reduction of near ly two cents--if we would buy tokens. Then benehcent company came out and declared, by intimation, that 1t be- lieved in education; that 1t intended to do all that it could for education, and, this being education week, it would allow school children to pay only something over four cents ride instead of five cents-if they would buy books.
 We'll, as a roll is considerably bet ter than nothing. although it does not quite take the place of loaf of bread, so reduction in the fares of school children--if they will buy books-and of grown people-if they will buy tokens--is better than mo reduction at all. We will munch our roll" some- what sullenely, perhaps, trying to make it last as long as possible-per- haps, even, until the baker comes across with loaf of bread.
 In the meantime we will keep on trying to emphasize the fact that times do change, the sentiment of the peo- pie does change and economic condi- tions do change so that experiments tried in the past are not necessarily proof that they would bring the same results today they brought years ago. Because the ffve-cent fare did not work in New Britain at one time it does not follow necessarily that it would not work today. We dare 'em to try it.

KING GEORGE MAY
 OPEN PARLIAMENT
London Hears Report That He May Make Personal Visit to
 Dublin.

London, Dec. z. - (By Associated Press) -- The suggestion that King George may go to Dublin to open formally the new Irish parliament. as advanced by the Liverpool Courier, seems based partly on surmise and partly on rumors.
 Although the possibility of the kings presence has taken no definite shape, it is safe to say that if Ireland intimated such a visit would be wei come the sovereign would acquiesce. It is regarded as quite likely, how ever, that his majesty would take the initiative in the matter.
 According to a Dublin report, King George sent remarkable message to Timothy Healy, the new governor general to which Healy is said to have replied. These messages the report said will probably be first given to the public by the governor general in an announcement in the parliament.
 It is understood that MT. Healy is soon to come to London for an au- dience with the king.
 It is customary, although not legal ly necessary that the governors of the British domnions be received in au- dience upon their appointments when the ancient formality of kissing the kings hand is observed as an evidence of fealty.

HONEST, UPRIGHT, coNTEh TED

Like benediction that warns mems hearts, messages of Christmas cneer are winging their way over this broad land of ours. Well in the vanguard is one sent by Grand Exalt- ed Ruler J. F.. Masters Of the Benevo- lent and Protective Order of Elks to the members of the organization. In a few words it summarizes all the good wishes that one man could ex- tend to another. concluding with the master thought: May you be happy and pleasant, and have naught but an honest, upright and contented re- joicing in the blessings that are yours to enjoy"
 Honest, upright, contented-three magic words. Honest with our neigh bor, upright with ourselves and con- tented with what wise Providence has seen fit to give us.

 good idea. even fl it did come from the LaFolette crowd. President Hard Ing does not like it--it will be n change from the old things, it would alter the constitution; it would not give the new members time 10 cool off after the excitement Of election.
 Well, lot of us are not crazy about constitutional amendments as rule, but 1t would seem that the idea Of speedy action is more in accordance with the spirit of the times than the old way, just as the steam cars and automobiles represent better this day than would an old stage coach which members of Congress used to have to take to get to Washington

WE MIST asIr INr

There is a great dark portion of tho world access to which is through the straits Of the Dardanelles and the Bosporus. The allies want to have it possible for the great nations to have free access to that dark land, 10 pro tect civilized nationals of their lands who may be there. to protect interests of their lands Now comes the United States and says those straits must be open at all times to ships Of all na- tions. That dark land must not be kept as a place where atrocities may be committed behind doors that might be locked The United States declares this policy In no mistakabe terms.
 The allies propose commission to see to it that these straits are kept open. The United States is invited to have a representative on that commis- sion-to have representative who will see to 1t that the brave oral stand Of the United States will be backed up by action if necessary No honora- ble course is open to this country, but to accept that invitation if the plan of the allies is adopted. Turkey. today would consent probably to such plan were it not for her fear of offend- ing Russia. Turkeys wish not to of- fend England moves her to accept the plan.
 The fear which the administration at Washington may have of accepting the invitation, is the fear that the people would disapprove such for eign entanglement" because the peo- pie failed to elect the candidate for the Presidency who stood for the League of Nations. Never have the people of this country. through fear, failed to approve action which backs up stand of which they approve. And most certainly they approve the idea that the straits of the Dardan- .elles and the Bosporus be kept open And certainly they disapprove the arrangement which would practically close the door to any portion of the world to our ships bound on legitimate business of protecting our people, our interests or of bringing aid to the suffering as our warships are now do- ing.
 Little by little changed conditions are bringing us into the great world game where, to use a term of the great American indoor game, we must eventually ''sit in.''

WOMEN COMING HERE

New Britain is affected by the fact shown in Washington dispatch, that more women than men are leaving the farms in search of more lucrative fields of employment. There are such fields here. and the women are finding it out. This fact emphasizes the nec- essity of greater consideration Tn local affairs of the women workers.
 On July 1, 1920 there were on farms 109.1 males for every 100 females, while there were only 104 males for every 100 females in the entire total population of the country. The cities, then, more than ever before, must take the working women intd account when framing laws and ordinances, for it is to the cities the women are go- ing. This may be the cause or it may be the effect of the tendency toward marriage later in life than formerly If farm girl marries early she is apt to marry a farmer and remain on the farm. If she remains single she is apt to leave the farm and then, be- cause of the distractions and fnde- pendence of city life, she is apt to stay in the city. She is not likely to go back to the farm-and women who have lived all their lives on farms will not blame her.
 But the point worth emphasizing is that farm life is quite a different life than it used to be. There are numer- ous inventions that take from that life it's former severity Telephones and automobiles have made the farm dwellers more part of the communi- ty. There is little of the isolation formerly characteristic of the farm. Those who understand youth cannot blame youth for wanting to leave the farm and see bit of life. They can only hope for the day when the farm will be made so attractive to youth and maturity that the farm dwellers, strong, independent, will find happi- ness and content there.

ICE WILL cLrNK NO MORE

Up in Maine, which state has long been just as absolutely dry" as is the United States today, they seem to be- lieve in mental suggestion. They have passed law prohibiting the serving of ice in drinks, or for drinks, of any sort No longer will the suffering mortal who has discovered, the night before, that Maine is not quite abso- lutely dry" be able to soothe his parched tongue and burning mouth with a relieving draught of water cooled by ice in glass which tinkles sweet music to his ears. Ice, tinkling in glass, is too suggestive of entic- ing beverages The merry sound might mentally suggest to the thirsty how delicious would be the cold high ball and might send him on his way to tiger that has lost it's sight The man who sighed over the beer that is no more the liquor that theoretically is dead, may well sigh over the de- parture of this memory inspiring sound up there in Maine.
 It is possible, of course. that the people back of this new law arc sin cere when they declare it was passed only because there is danger of the existence of harmful bacteria in ice and that it should not be placed in drinks for this reason. At any rate.
