A GOOD APPOINTMENT

Mayor Paoncssa has signiied his approval of the appointment of city Engineer Williams by the board of public works. His action shows both
 desire to back up the board he has
 named and also confidence in the
 appointeee of the board
 The appointment is good one in
 itself. It carries with it, also, the principle of doing justice to mau who has performed his work well. The labors of city engineer are, of course, technical and a layman has little chance to learn whether or not an engineer is filling his position
 properly. The men on the board Of public works are presumed to be in- formed on these matters. The person. nel of the board was criticized some what. As far as one not versed in the technicalities of engineering is able to determine, however, this important ac- ton of the board is wise and discloses a desire to recognize good work in the past by city engineer who took the position at lowered salary and who, as far as one who is not an en- gineer is able to judge, has given sat isfaction in the position.
 City Engineer Williams has shown the citizen who asks him a question concerning conditions in regard to his work, a knowledge of the details of it. comprehensile grasp of the sit uation and an ability to give the de- sired information. that has impressed the questioner. That is about as far as the man who does not know the technicalities of engineering can go in judging the ability of an engineer. AS far as the ordinary citizen is con- cerned the appointment was a good one, the approval of the mayor an important matter--for Mayor Paones- Sd has considerable knowledge of these matters-and the board is to be con- graduated for naming again City En- gineer Williams.

GOLF AND AIEPLANES,

SWEDEN RECOVERING

Good news comes from Sweden She stands in a rather enviable posi- ton in Europe. After a year and a half of defation the Swedish krona is virtually at par. The Swedish for eign office has just issued an official economic report the note of which is said to be optimism.
 The fact that the. exchange rate is high, however. is one of the handi- caps to further prosperity in Sweden, and the high wages still being paid there is another. Foreign competitors, with low exchange rates. gain at Swcden's expense, and though the number of the unemployed in Sweden a third of whom are receiving govern ment aid, is decreasing slowly, there must be further cuts before full pros perity will come to that country.
 Internal liquidation is still going on, however, and with the returned par value of the krona as a basis for optimism the latest news from Swed- en may be considered good news.

RUSSIA PIONEERING.

| It is not surprising to find tha' Tchitcherin, after consulting the | Italian Prime Minister and learning from him that the Russian reply
 would break up the conference, went
 back and pondered over that reply which had been prepared for presen-
 tation. For, may it be repeated again, Russia will not break up the conference without getting the cash able. Russia will talk and buster. but she will not go home empty tions get tired of her irresponsible actions and act. It is Lloyd Georges s task to see that the other nations do not do this. ..a s.~
 Russia's reply, of course.-Which it was shown to Tchitcherin would be ptable-tried to leave unsettled the matter of returned private prop tIly, OI, TdUlleT, IL NdHleu lilS IIldllSI settled by arranging to have different settlements between Russia and each nation separately. Naturally, as this private property issue is at the very basis of the Genoa discussion, and as nothing else may be decided until a business arrangement has been made in regard to it, Russia's proposal to leave it up in the air and to go on with the conference, would be worth less.
 There may be little more satisfac- ton in the reply to the allied terms Russia does submit, but it is quite sure that there will be nothing in it, if Russia knows what the effect of her reply will be, that will break up the conference.

THINGS THAT COTNT.

Fundamentally the crowds of the the funeral of a great f1nancier and executive who has just died, honored certain qualities which may be pos sessed by every human being to a greater or lesser degree.
 Today there is a tendency to forget those qualities as things worth while. Quite possibly the modernist, man or woman, will insist that he or she does not care 10 emphasize such character istics with the result that crowds will gather because of their presence in life, after death. Such deprecators of the things which have been consider ed fine are welcome to take their po- sition among the scornful--and to get what happiness out of life they are able satisfied. as they must be, with the selfish pleasures with material success they deem to be all import ant. With them there may be no argument for the basic viewpoint from which they see the world and life is uncompromisingly different from that of those who believe the things always known as fine and noble are inc and noble today.
 But for those who hold to the idea that thought of others, generosity kindness, truthfulness and honor are the real things worth striving for, the things that count the deep feeling which marked the gathering which honored the memory Of man be- lieved by the mourners to possess those qualities must be an inspiration to live and die deserving such tribute

PROTEST DAYLIGHT PLAN
Mothers of Muskegon, Michigan. Fight Daylight Saving Claiming It Endangers Health of Children.

Muskegon, Mich, May 11.-Over the protests of mothers in the city, Muskegon has adopted, by will of the voters, daylight saving time for the spring and summer months
 The mothers fought the proposal to set the clocks ahead one hour on the ground it would disrupt the feed- ing schedules for their infants and therefore endanger the health of the youngsters
 During the campaign that preced- cd the special election at which the issue was decided the mothers fought countless word battles against 1t. The majority of voters However, turned deaf ear to their entreaties. The mothers campaign slogan of save the babies by voting down daylight saving time fell on empty ears, the proposal to change time carrying by an overwhelming majority.

OVERWHELMING EVIDENCE

The evidence of the S0,0oo manu- lecturers, reporting to the president of the national association Of manu- lecturers, that business and trade definite and continuing advance" is sufficient to quiet the pessimists. Add ment of labor that conditions here in this city are steadily becoming better, ufacturers in this city is that there will be a steady though slow return to normal conditions, and that New Britain is fortunate in comparison to other cities of the state in that there is no acute suffering from unem- ployment, and it becomes evident the time has arrived when it is no longer necessary to emphasize the brighter outlook. but rather it is wise to make preparations to do business energeti- cally in accordance with the spirit of confidence prevalent.
 In regard to tle unemployment matter it Is interesting to note the comments of some who have had oc- casion to try to hire men to work. It must be remembered, however, that the information is in regard especially to men found in central park in the morning many of whom, presumably, are looking for work. Some. of course. who may be found there, have jobs. and are not to be criticized in any way for taking the air in that interesting place. There are others in the city, probably who would have been glad to have the work offered to the men hereafter referred to.
 The incidents noted, however, are illustrative. One man wanted to em- ploy workers to clean out a cellar re- gently. He tried to get help from those seated in the park. He offered fifty cents an hour. His offer was spurned. That's too dirty work" was the excuse given. The men sat on, waiting for something soft to turn up.
 Another man came along offering work which would last some time set ting out trees and shrubs. There was some digging involved. The men look ing for work shook their heads. They would have none of it. The searcher for help was brutally loud in his ex- pressions of disgust But he did not get his workers.

FACTS.

The Herald hesitates to cite again the error made by the Waterbury Republican" The Republican" does notsmake a practice of diStorting facts or drawing incorrect conclusions therefrom.
 Since the Hartford Courant" has, indeed, emphasized the error' and has taken the Herald to task in it's courteous way for calling attention to the mistake, the quotation from "The Republican" may be mentioned again.
 Referring to New Britain the Re publican" said: Where all Republi- can candidates but the one for mayor were elected" This was the mistake.
 The facts are these: In the Fifth ward Councilman Mlynarski, repubi- can, was a candidate for reelection He was defeated by Elias c. Ring rose, democrat. Candidate Overstrom republican. was defeated by F. How ard Smith, democrat.
 {. In the Sixth ward candidate kssel- brack, republican, ran for the post of !. alderman. He was defeated by Can didate Conlon, democrat. Candidates Kulper and Horwitz, republicans, ran for the council They were defeated by candidates Schmarr and Lynch, { democrats. ..r- --
 One other comment in the "Cour- ant" editorial of Wednesday must be { referred to. The "Courant" said: "As the Herald grows older it will learn that facts are often important, if not always pleasant. We thought we inn pressed that upon the Herald when we corrected the untruths recently printed about MT. Roraback, repub- lican."
 Accusing newspaper of printing untruths about a man is ugly busi- ness. Probably it is more seemly for a newspaper. when accused of such dangerous and reprehensible action, to refrain from saying that the ac- cuser lies, and to assert instead that what the accused printed was the truth. The Herald" believed that the "Courant', in dropping the Rora- back matter at that time, saw it's er- TOT. The Herald was content to let it go at that.
 The facts were these. MT. Rora- back was asked to become a member of a committee formed to do certain things. He said he would have no
