SCHOOLS AND
MEDICAL INSPECTION

Through our schools we get i'm con-
tact with all the boys and girls who
are to be our prospective future citi-
zens. Medical inspection in oui. public
schools throughout the United States,
reveals the fact that so per cent of all
the people have physical defects. seri-
Gus enough to Interfere with school
work and TO make attention from doc
tors and nurses desirable, and need the
help which can be given through suit
able agencies as dental Clinics, eye
Clinics, and other relieving agencies. 1t
is estimated that daily average of
more than 100000 people must be
cared for or served in some way by the
various charitable medical and correc-
floral institutions and 1t takes more
than $500. 100000 annually TO pay the
bill. Through extensive case work, so
cial workers have found in working TO
arrive at suses, that these people
are incapacitated and handicapped
and have been tax ahsorbers rather
than tax payers due to lack Of early
attention and early training.
We must learn ia realize that the
time to spend money and service is
when individuals are young, and when
such efforts In their behalf will result
in opportunities which may be realized
upon. We feel more and more that it
is not intelligent to let these hands
capped children sit out their allotted
years in the public schools unable to
see the blackboard unable TO hear the
teachers voice. children suffering from
enlarged glands. from defective teeth
and undernourished,
Medical inspection and nursing ser
vice in the public schools are among
our comparatively recent efforts TO help
supply these deficiencies. The open
air is another instrumentality which
has come into being in an effort TO keep
these children through a regime that
understands each child's individual
case. and which undertf kes to care for
him i'm accordance with his needs boz
fore it is TOO late. 1t is a real effort 10
apply the old maxim. An ounce OF
prevention is, better than a pound or
cure" 1t is trying TO realize both sides
of the motto, "A sound mind is II sound
body" Too often we have actually IN
iured childrens' bodies insfrying to edit
cate their minds The possibility Tor
service to our on-coming citizens, lies
entirely upon their march through the
public schools. by Ruth Pfeil, County
Nurse.

SOCIETY" AND POLITICS.

The best thing noted about "So- ciety' recently is that it has furnished few men willing to take the trouble of running for political office. The best thing about Politics" to be noted recently Is that it has lured society men. This is no compli- ment to the candidates who are the son of the late Robert Bacon, for mer ambassador to France and the son of the late H. P. Davidson, prom inent banker It is rather a noting of fact that promises good results. Bacon of Westbury, N. r., is running for congress on the republican ticket and his democratic opponent is, like Bacon, clubman. Davidson is run ming for the state assembly.
 The gratifying feature of the affair is that society colonies on Long Island are said to be taking unusual interest in politics because these men

One of the arguments in favor or the prospects Of the new hotel here is that it would attract tourists through the state, Quite aside rom this argument however, there IS no question but that those who tour the country in automobiles while taking their vacations do spend money liber- ally. Many towns are practically dead in the winter, of course, depend- ing solely on summer trade for their existence Fortunately New Britain is not one such nor is Connecticut n state which subsists upon money spent in luNuries But the money or these vacationists does help business in the summer and the fact that Con necticut shows signs Of becoming more popular with tourists in the summer months b cause for satisfac- ton. Every movement, such as bet ter roads and better accommodations which tends to increase Conneeticuts attractiyeness to tourists is move worthy of support

THE HOTEL CAMPAIGN,

THE HOlfl NAaifAi"N
 It is believed that Arthur G Kimbal put the hotel investment matter correctly when he said that one should not consider the invest ment in terms of money, but rather the dividends to be returned should be measured in terms of civic pride II is believed that the sort of hotel contemplated is one in which pride will be taken because of it's excellence in every respect. The idea is not a small one investors with limited vision are not the sort who are sought. Unless the purpose is mis- conceived there is to be no penny wisdom and pound foolishness about 1t. Stockholders who feel they must inquire into the manner of expending every penny, either because of their innate desire to see no chances taken or because they have invested money they could not spare and must be over-cautious of that investment, are not the sort of stockholders who will bring the best results to the enter prise.
 The hotel, as planned, is to be an ornament to New Britain and, if sue cessful, something that will add i'm measurably to the prestige of the city. It is not to be a false-front, tinsel affair, blatantly blazing out it's adver- tisement of the city. The market is not to be secured to secure the cheapest material for it; it's furniture is not to be surfaced with thin veneer. It is to be a real hotel and the things in it are to be real as the people interested in the enterprise are real, They are not cheap; the hotel is not to be cheap in any sense of the word, in construction or management.
 The savings of widows the trust funds of orphans, the money put away for old age" are not sought if the attitude of the men back of the movement is correctly gauged But investment by the progressive people of the city, investment by those will ing to help bring to this city some thing fine and the one thing needed above all others to give New Britain its proper standing among Connecti- cut cities is sought most earnestly by men who believe in the future of this city and in the hotel plan as a final touch in the splendid picture of that future.

are In the races. Nor Is the gratifi- cation caused by the thought that these men and the society" which Is interested will elevate politics in that locality Rather the satisfaction comes from the prospect of having that society" benefited by learning something about the issues of the day and the practical problems which most people whose interests in social life are of secondary importance have to face.
 It would be great thing for the politics of the country locally and nationally if all classes of men and women took more interest in them and were better informed on the issues, of course. It would be a great thing for all classes of people if they evinced this interest. And, with the classes benefited and the politics benefited there could be but the one result-a benefited land.

THE MINER. THE MAN.

The story of the anthracite coal miner, as told by a representative of The Herald who has just returned from a tour of the anthracite coal fields of Pennsylvania, and published in the Herald yesterday, is a human picture of the man who works in the coal mines. Its value lies In the fact that the narrative Is not propa ganda for miners or operators. It Is a statement of the situation as 1t ap- pears to an unprejudiced observer anxious to get at the facts.
 From this story upon which one may rely comes the satisfactory feel ing that the miners are giving their best efforts to getting coal out of the ground rapidly that it may be sent on its way to relieve the present shortage. Sunday work is being done for the first time in history. It is natural that there is the prevalent fear that the operators intend to raise the price of coal soon, but that fear would come in a section of the country where the general sentiment expressed is with the miners. With the necessity for restricting the price recognized by the government and the various state officials, it is believed that fear is unfounded, not because of the lack of a wish to raise the price on the part of the operators, but rather because of their inability to do so in the face of the strong public sentiment.
 There may be seen also in this intimate picture of the miners and their habits and lives, the true char acter of the work they do, it's dan- gers, it's unpleasant not to say pathetic side. It is well that once in a while when the country is angered by the actions of men seeking to better their condition, the human aspect of the matter be thus presented.
 And in the atmosphere of the story may be seen the conviction that it will be long time before another strike is called which will so harass the country.

VISITORS TO CONNECTICUT,

Either more motorists visited Con- necticut last summer for protracted stays than came the summer before last, or else the rule requiring tenn porary registration of motor vehicles in this state, where they are to be used here temporarily, is being more rigidly enforced or observed. We prefer to take it for granted that the former assumption is the true one for the obvious reason that it points to increased popularity for Connecticut
 The motor vehicles department re- ports that there were 752 such tenn porary registrations in the first nine months of 1922 as against only 42e for the corresponding period of 1921. Five hundred and seventy-four of this large number were fer pleasure cars.

THE suNFLowER IN ENGLAND.

Now Americans are lost completely as far as their standing in England is concerned The report comes that the Earl of Strafford has seen the harvesting of the sunfiower crop in Canada and has decided to take them to England and give them a trial on his English estate. For the Earl has learned about the sunflowers value as siage--a thing of which many Americans are ignorant despite the presence of the flower" in this country-and, being quite farmer and stock-raiser, intends to profit by the knowledge.
 The dispatch carrying the news says that next year the sunfower probably will be growing on the estate of the Earl of Strafford and nodding their free American heads over the hedge rows, will look British noblemen in the eye"
 And because of this "nodding their free American heads it is not impos- sible that the English, sometimes forming their opinions of Americans from the poor samples they have met as Americans sometimes form opinions of the English from samples not quite up to English standards will look back at the nodding sun flowers and remark-"How truly American. So loud in color, you know-and so coarse. Really, they absolutely insist upon being seen. That sort of startling brilliance scarcely appeals to us"
 To each bold sunflower growing in English soil might well be attached note bearing the worlds No, we are not used in America as boutonnieres, if the sunflower minds such com ment.

ELEPHANT ESCAPES
 AND RUNS AMUCK
Wilmington, N. c., Terrorized by
 Great Animal

Wilmington. N C., Oct, l1.-After terrorizing the city for eighteen hours and damaging property to the extent or thousands of dollars, Topsy, a big elephant that escaped from circus train here last night, was captured late this afternoon when she begged in Greenfield lake, in the outskirts of the city.
 Suits. ranging from s20, sought by the pastor of Catholic church for damages to the church property. to
 5000 asked by the owner of a dye works, whose plant was wrecked by the elephant, have been filed in su- perior court and attorneys have hur- ried at Fayetteville. N. C., to attach the circus.
 The elephant roamed the city the entire day, pursued by attendants, policemen and sheriff's deputies, but defyng capture. Once when two at- tendants hooked her ears she dashed down the main business street of the city, dragging the men for hundred yards before they gave it up. Property damage, in addition to ''o' to 1Ao uiSh pioPcitS aiu Iho dye plant, included several garages and chicken ooops overturned, a score of fences smashed and a num- Der of porch columns wrenched from their fastepings
 The elephant became infuriated when she wandered into the back yard of a negro's home and was fired upon. The negro fell while running from the beast and suffered a broken collar bone. He was the only person injured.

AMERICA TO SHUT . OFF FURTHER LOANS J. s. Takes This Step to Curb
 MilitariSn Abroad

Washington, Oct. 11.-No expecta- | ton exists on the part of the United States government that it will receive any return on it's war loans to it's former European allies, except in the case of Great Britain, until those na- |tions readjust their finances and through a process of rehabilitation place themselves in position to pay their obligations. This was made clear yesterday in high official quar- |ter.
 On it's face this statement appears
 10 be encouraging to the apparent disposition of continental govern ments to bring about an indefinite postponement of refunding of their American war debts, with perhaps, the hope of ultimate agreement of the United States to cancel its all jed indebtedness But the real sig niflcance of the statement lies in wha. seems to be the fact, that it con templates a policy on the part of this government by which an en- bargo will be placed on further Am arican loans to certain European pow CTS.
 Taboo Private Loans.
 That there should be no more loans by this government directly to any of our former allies had already been determined. What came to light yes terday was that loans from private American financial interests are also likely to be tabooed.
 The political situation in Europe has assumed such a phase that in the opinion of some of those having great influence in the councils of the liar ding administration, it would be the part of American and international folly to permit such conditions to continue if it is within the power of the United States government to pre- vent them through cutting off the American source of financial supply.
 American Observers Dissatisfied.
 Dissatisfaction over the political sit nation in Continental Europe has been expressed by many American obserV- CTS recently returned from European tours, and particularly by members ot the senate. Certain European gov ernments heavily in debt to the United States, are maintaining large military establishments = keeping themselves on a war-footing, in fact and making no real effort to re- duce expenditures in an attempt to balance their budgets and otherwise seeking to put themselves in posi- ton to meet their obligations.
 That the United States would be derelict in it's duty not only to it's own people but toward civilization in permitting debtor nations to maln-

department whenever they were ap- preached by foreign governments or business interests with reference to extending financial help.
 It is now inferred that the govern ment will not look with favor on loans by American bankers to foreign governments or foreign business in terests which are to be utilized in keeping certain nations on a war footing. Efforts on the part of Am erican flnanciers and business men to assist in the economic rehabilitation of Europe are regarded with approval however.
