r1rr1 ADMINISTRATORS LETTER

AS the result of alleged violations
Of delivery rules by New Britain coal
dealers. this city is face to face with
a serious situation. The letter sent
out TO the dealers by Mr.. Russell and
printed in the Herald" today explains
conditions concisely.
II the information which Mr.. Itus-
sell has in his possession is reliable
the public may suffer because OF the
shortsighted policy OF dealers In fuel.
Drastic restrictions on the amount OF
anthracite coal coming into this city
NAV be imposed. Mr.. Russell goes
so far as to threaten to ask the Gov
ernor to call special meeting OF the
General Assembly for the purpose OF
adopting fuel regulations similar to
those now in force in the State. OF
New York
One OF Mr.. Russell's statements is
that 1.-THE dealers of New Britain

tn of regulations which would ensue
as the result of such legislation.
The Herald is not worrying about
the dealers, but there is real cause
for worry about the people, who have
been forced to pay more for coal than
has been paid in any other city and
who now see prospects Of having their
allowance reduced because the dealers
are found to be violating the rules
of the game"
It is notorious fact that an
thracite coal has been put into the
cellars of business buildings, proving
that anyone with sufficient influence
or money can get what he wants while
the householder is forced TO beg for a
ton or two. and then pay the top
price.

AT THIS TIME OF YEAR

Once a year there comes a season
when there should be no dubius shak-
Ing OF the head when good works
are mentioned, 1t is the Christmas sea-
son. 1t is here, And the point IL that
we are all glad that II comes annu-
ally. II may be a costly time II the
cost Is measured In dollars and cents.
But It Is a happy time. It is time
when we are all reminded that. after
all, we are all working for peace
on earth, good will toward men,"
There are our personal gifts to be
made. How we grumblc and scowl
when we do not feel well-and how
we love to buy those presents to give
to others. Then. after these are at
tended to. how glad we are that there
are people in the world active enough
and interested enough to keep up
community customs.
There is the Christmas tree on the

have 1t discontinued? We will give to
1t and be happy in the knowledge
that lot of little children will be
made happy by 1t. There are many
other causes to be helped One Of
them is the Visiting Nurse Associa-
ton. Anyone who has followed visit
ing nurse into a home where she had
been a helpful caller will understand
the practical and spiritual joy she
brings. To her association many chill
dren look for greater joy at. Christ
mas time. We are glad to help furnish
that JOY. In one month this associa-
ton took care of 1,746 cases, making
1.247 visits Some work; some JOY and
help given! All who would help those
visiting nurses to bring Christmas
greetings in the form of gifts are ask
ed by the directors of the association
to leave such gifts at 50 Center street
before a week from tomorrow.
The Christmas season braces us all |
up. AS Sunday gives us chance to
readjust ourselves for the week that |
is to come, SO the Christmas season |
is the time for the annual readjust-
ment. Go to it; take deep breath
and do all the things that your better !
self tells you to do. And remember |
that our merchants are inspired by
the same Christmas feeling. They,
too, want to do as well by us as they
can. Theirs is more than financial
Sec what they have to show
always remember those who
have no one financially able to do
anything to make the Christmas sea-
son the season of joy that it should
be.

CLoGGING PROGRESS

Those who simply refuse to believe
in the achievements OF science and in
vention ''clog the game" throw the
monkey-wrench into the machinery"
ball things up generally and impede
all progress. Such people are harm
less II they occupy humble positions
in life. II their advice and words are
not needed. Such people are men
ace II they are prominent; III there
is reason for people to be-
lieve they know what they are talk
ing about. 1t is fortunate that such
people rarely achieve prominence.
The ignorant, especially, are inclined
to say That's all nonsense" when
discovery or invention is described
to them. They find refuge in this
phrase, or its colloquial equivalent,
when they do not understand what
the informer is talking about.
But occasionally ultra-conservative
people, who are in positions of in
fiuence, take this same attitude. They
have done things certain way all
their lives. They have succeeded.
They see no reason to change. A plan
is explained to them which will revo-
lutionize their business. They refuse
to listen. That's all nonsense" they
say. They simply will not believe;
moreover they do not want to believe.
A striking instance of the condition
of mind of such people is shown by
story recently published in The Her
aid. The ultra conservative man of
prominence would be insulted to be
compared to the man SO years old
who, the other day. saw moving pic
ture for the first time. He would not
believe that photography had been
developed to such an extent that pic
lures rapidly taken and rapidly re.
produced could present the actual
movements of person or thing in
motion. "They do it all there behind
that screen somehow" he chuckled.
you can't fool me-"
If 1t had been possible, fifty years
ago, to show to an tra-conservative
business man or manufacturer of that
time, the methods of the business
man or manufacturer of today, he,
too, would have chuckled and re-
sagely: That's all nonsense"
Probably he would have gone on and
explained how he had studied his
business and had learned that the
tried and true" methods were the
bcst-that there was nothing new I'M
der the sun. 1t is emphasized that this
is the attitude Of the ultra conserva-
tive only.
All Of which is for the purpose OF
a plea for the man with new
ideas. II such men and women were
given hearing always: If advocates
of new propositions were not turned
away from the door of busy men; If
every such enthusiastic exponent of /
a new plan we're not discouraged at
the beginning by the warning that II
am hard to convince" and If men and
women would only believe they were
right in believing in something new
when their reason told them there
was germ Of wisdom in that new
the world would progress
much more rapidly than 1t is doing
today.
Don't discourage the enthusiast who
has new idea.

Paris, March 13.-Recognizing in
principle the United States rights to
collection Of the cost of its army of
occupation, the allied finance ministers
in session here signed an agreement
dividing up among themselves 1000
100000 gold marks (S25O,OOO OOO),
which Germany thus far has paid.
They referred Americas claim Of
$241,OOO,OOO to their respective gov

This conference is not competent

said Sir Robert Horne, the chancellor
of the British eXchequer on leaving
the meeting, but the prime ministers
doubtless will find a way of reaching

shaken but safe, the officers and
crew dropped over the bows and down
on the beach-to wander for days over
the barren rock. Empty of all life
it was except for a few sad, enervated
goats.
"A ship calls once year at Sunday
island, the captain knew; but he did
not know the time of year. Suva, in
the Fills, $50 miles away, the nearest
civilization!
"They talked it Over-eyerybody
from the captain to the cook. And for
sheer daring and pluck the decision of
six sailors to take an open llfeboat
and strike out for Suva has few paral-

Equipped with food, kerosene oil,

stove, and an extra mast and sail, the

its crew Of siX-and the captain-leay-
ing six men to wait on the barren

company, dividing into two watches,
worked at the oars when the wind
failed Each watch comprised three
men, one man relieving one of the row
ers every half hour. The wind was not
always kind; once for two long days
they lay becalmed, Rain added to
their discomfort. When the sun shone
the heat was pitiless; at night the cold
was intense.

Britishers, who sailed the next day
