HEREDITY

Those interested in the passing from ter are surprised at the facts coming to light regarding the two sons of the Apparently idealists. a little more prac- tical today, perhaps, than they were fathers bequest of a million dollars, but idealsts nevertheless. As Car as psychological studies, they are of interest.
 idealist, too-an idealist in certain di- rections far removed from the things to which the ideals of the sons per tain. The father was an idealist in re- gard to perfection of manner, dress courtesy grace, social position, art and literature. He was the personifcation | in his life, of the idea that all men 
 to the world the fact remains that there was nothing as distasteful to him as intimate association with peo- pie who lacked culture and refine ment.
 The late James A. Garland million aire, .dillitante in art and literature showed none Of the tendencies to his intimate friends which have appeared in his sons. It would seem that heredi- ty lost her hold when the young men came into the world.
 It is possible that the sons did in- herit the traits of their father to a marked degree. It is possible that, in- heriting them, they became conscious of their weakness and. in fighting

THE FRENCH SITUATION.

Despite assurances from Washing ton, given by Secretary of State Hughes, Mr Balfour, head of the British delegation, Senator Schanzer, of Italy, and M. Sarraut, head of the French delegation, that the resigna- fton of Premier Briand will not inter- rupt proceedings there and that the work already accomplished will stand, there comes again the uncertainty in gpired by the realization that, as a matter of fact, nothing has been done irrevocably There have been many matters "agreed to in principle' and some agreed" to without the modify ing phrase But there is the convic- tion that anything called a fixed achievement may yet be modified if it does not meet with the approval of any new Premier. The inner doors of the conference are still closed tightly.
 This raises point which it is possible for Americans to appreciate fully, comparatively ignorant as they are of the intricacies of the working Of French politics.
 The chamber of deputies in France is strongly in favor of assertion by France of her strength. Poincare, now of greater power has been in full sympathy with this sentiment. It was Premier Briand's desire to gain what he believed to be best for France through compromise or mod if1cation which led to the necessity of his resigning-necessity as he saw it, He believed, as many in this country better position were she to gain Eng lands guarantee Of help in case of unprovoked attack by Germany, than she would be were she to assert her independence, rely upon her own strength, and attempt to stand alone. Premier Briand, having been in this country, sensed the feeling here Poin- care, on the other hand, remaining in France. in full accord with the Ma tionalist majority in the chamber, saw the situation through different eyes. There was none of that modi- flying influence around him.
 Now comes the time when he is called upon to form a new cabinet for France. The question arises will Poincare be influenced by the situa- ton here and in France, as both in fuences are brought to bear upon him. as was Premier Briand, if he becomes Premier? It will be remembered that the latter's policy of modification, which was unpopular in the chamber, was not seen until after he had as- sumed the duties of the office of Pre- mier He had not been able, as no

ABOUT LIBRARIES

l.. l.. Brown, assistant librarian of said recently at a large meeting in the Hatel Taft in that city, that an ad- of New Haven know the diversity of the facilities offered by the library the fact that in its earliest days the library catered almost exclusively to were chosen with women and children | in mind mainly. Today the library ing business and professional men. He cited the cities of Newark, N. J. and Seattle, Washington. as places that have carried on library advertising campaigns. He spoke of the practice adopted by cities of advertising their night schools. the courses offered and the dates registering and other facts being presented systematically to the people.
 The remarks of MT Brown con- corning the New Haven library apply with equal force to the New Britain Institute. Widely patronized as the li- brary here is there are many people who do not appreciate what may be learned and the enjoyment that comes from the books of reference at the institution and from those which may be taken away. Many seem to think that it is difficult to procure books if they are not we'll known in the city. The reverse is true. It is necessary to procure the signature of some person known here to the card of application, and the removal of books is made as easy as possible.
 The beneficial results obtained from consistent patronage of the library cannot be estimated. A liberal educa- ton may be gained, a thorough under- standing of world affairs and condi- tions and feeling of confidence in self that comes only from a conviction of the disappearance of ignorance. | There is no intention here to suggest the city's entering upon an extensive campaign of advertising it's advantages to it's people. It may be suggested, however, that the city itself and it's citizens should take some thought concerning the matter of making more widely known the free advantages if offers it's people as this new era of a greater need of education begins.

FRIDAY, THE THIRTEENTH

Peonle who have a secret rear or Friday, the thirteenth-and there are more of them than is supposed--and neonle who are afraid to sit down at n tahle where there are thirteen pres ent. should note little tale which ap- peared in the Paris Temps recently
 The Police Commissioner Of a small village in France received rom the superintendent of the cemetery or the place q small package containing an object which looked and felt like human heart. He was told that 1t was found by young woman on the tomb of her mother buried about ten inches below the surface of the ground when she was digging hole to plant a rose bush there.
 The young woman believed 1t was the heart of her mother who had just died after an operation and that the heart had not been buried With the rest of the body but had been brought there afterwards by the operators and hidden.
 Examination showed, however, that the heart was that of a young calf which had been stuck full of pins. When cut open lock of hair was found inside. Further investigation showed that another young woman, acting on the advice of an acquaint- ance. had obtained the calf's heart, had cut it open and inserted lock of her hair, had stuck it full of pins and had buried it in the cemetery for the sole purpose of obeying the rules of a superstition which was to the ef- feet that such an action would bring her lost lover back to her.
 Thus far may superstition be car ried. Those who fear Friday the thir teenth, today, differ from this young woman only in degree. This day may be unluclly for many; bat the good or bad luck will have nothing to do course with the date or the name of the day.

EAT LESS MEAT
 IF BACK HURTS
Take a glass of Salts to Flush Kid-
 neys if bladder bothcrs

you
 Eating meat regularly eventually produces kidney trouble in some form or other, says well-known authority, because the uric acid in meat excites the kidneys, they become overworked; get sluggish; clog up and cause all sorts of distress, particularly backache and misery in the kidney region: rheumatism twinges, severe headaches acid stomach. constipation, torpid liver, sleeplessness, bladder and urin- ary irritation.
 The moment your back hurts or kid neys aren't acting right, or if bladder bothers you, get about four ounces of lad Salts from any good pharmacy; take tablespoonful in glass of wa ter before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, com- bined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush clogged kid neys and stimulate them to normal activity; also to neutraliZe the acids in the urine so it no longer irritates thus ending bladder disorders.
 lad Salts cannot injure anyone: makes a delightful effervescent lithia- water drink which millions of men and women take now and then to keep the kidneys and urinary organs clean, thus avoiding serious kidney disease.

AN OFFICE "JQE."

Men accustomed to work in places brief news item which tells of the many applicants for the proposed board of water commissioners The position has not even been created; yet there are many applicants, It is only one new position; yet there are many men accustomed to office work who have none.
 All over the country there are office men" doing work other than that to which they are accustomed. They are not members of unions; they have not the protection afford- ed by such membership. They have not enjoyed watching their salaries, when they had jobs, mounting up ward until they were receiving at least twice as much and often three or four times as much as before the war. They have no surplus to put away, if | they would have done so, against the | tme when salaries would drop to q normal level again.
 When men who work with their l hands and who, incidentally, earn all l they receive, are inclined to look l asltance at any suggestion of an in crease in salaries for office employees or to oppose the creation of any new ] position for another office worker they may well remember few o1 these things and modify their views somewhat.

THE SEATING OF NEWBERRY

Even though the old, old story has been repeated so many times that 1t has become proverbial, the seating of Truman H. Newberry in the Senate of the United States, with the resolution which brought it about, compels it's use again. No phrase may so well eX- press the evident sentiment of the Senate as that of the ancient jury which rendered the verdict: Not guilty-but don't do it again."
 Attempts have been made to excuse the man, Newberry, because of his alleged ignorance of the sums that were being expended. Granted, for arguments sake that he was ignorant of the facts, great as is the stretch of the imagination reuired for that as- umption--does ignorance of the law excuse the poor man who has unwit- tingly committed a crime or mis- demeanor?
 Grant, if one will, even that Sen ator Newberry would be treated un- justly were he to be deprived of the seat in the Senate. Does one case of injustice counterbalance the evil that will come from the precedent estab- lished by placing in this position, con sidered by many to be the most hon. orable post in this country, man who would not have been in that position were it not for the admittedly unlaw- full use of money?
 The worn out arguments of those who have no respect for the law-ar- guments which cite isolated cases of injustice and upon which are based the, convictions that all is wrong-are just as sound, just as logical as the argument upon which this resolution was founded. The facts remain, prac- tically or actually admittcd--Truman H. Newberry's position in the Senate comes as a result of the unlawful use of money. The principle involved ii greater than any one man. If one man has to be sacrificed in order to main tain the honor which should be the Senate's due, that one man should be sacrificed Newberry should not have been seated even though the matter be considered entirely from the point of view of those who believe in him. To make the situation worse the point of view of those who believe in him is not the universal view of the people of this country. But then, his vote is needed by the G. o. P.-enough.
