COMMUNITY SPIRIT

Complaint Is sometimes made that there is little community spirit in New Britain. Granted that community spirit" is good thing for a city of this size. what are the facts. and If there is lack of it how can that fault be corrected?
 Last night the Chamber of Com merce, the Lions club and the Rotary club members met at dinner. Tonight the Business and Professional Wom- ens club will entertain the Rotary club members and their wives.
 Here are four organizations which, In theory at least, ought to advance the community spirit" Is the theory put into practice? Each of the organ nations has done fine things; splen- did sentiments have been expressed at their meetings; their activities are certainly to be commended. The ques- ton naturally arises, however, as to whether or not anything to intensity the desired community spirit" was discussed practically last evening, and whether practical effort will be made to that end tonight, other than the effort which has resulted in the meet ings of these organizations.
 To gain fine, universal 'communi- ty spirit" others than those members of those organizations must be in terested. Those Organizations must remember the people who do not be- long to them because of ineligibility, perhaps, or for other reasons. If there is lack of community spirit in New Britain the correcting of such fault offers fine field for such organiza- tions as those mentioned. An increased consideration for "the other fellow" given without the patronizing atmos- phere so repugnant to that "other fell low" would do much to increase the community spirit of the city

THE MINIMUM WAGE

. A great, fundamental question Is raised when the decision of the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia against the constitutionality of the Minimum Wage law for women is dis cussed. Roughly speaking, the court held the law unconstitutional on the ground that 1t was legislation aimed to protect a certain class; that as woman's equality with man was rec ognized. such law, to be fair, should be applicable to men also.
 There is legal precedent for such "class legislation if it may be regard ed as such. Railroad employees are protected legally by the minors. But whether or not 1t is constitutional to pass law fixing wage below which employers may not hire women to work--or men, for that matter there is feeling that there should be such rule. Although the advocates of such law hesitate to mention an- other constitutional amendment at this time, it is plain they feel that, If the United States Supreme Court aflrms the judgment of the district of Columbia Court, the constitution should be changed go that such a law would not conflict with 1t.
 
 The argument of these people is that no man should be asked to work for wage that will not support him in accordance with the standards of living which have made Americans the outstanding people they are. If minimum wage law would imply, also, a constitutional maximum wage law or if a maximum wage law for women necessitates one for men, we'll and good, they say. The important thing is that wages should be kept up to point at least where they will support life decently.
 There is no deeper economic ques- ton than this. Were 1t to be raised at a time other than one when recent constitutional amendments had plung- ed the country into controversy leav- ing the value of those amendments subjects of sincere discussion, proba- ply there would be little question but that a constitutional amendment. adopted to make it possible to pass laws in states fixing a minimum wage, would be advocated.

 FAVORS THE BONUS States Only Democrat at Wash inston Was in Service Himself

Derby Nov. 9.-'I stand behind the platform of the democratic party as adopted at the convention in Hart ford and am still in favor of sol- dier's bonus and when I take my place in congress, as the representa- tive from the fifth congressional dis trict, propose tp do as I told the voters during my campaign" declared Attorney P. B. O'Sullivan of this place, democrat-elect from the fifth congressional district, in an exclusive interview with reporter.
 Atty. O'Sullivan, showing great signs of fatigue after the long cam paign, greeted the reporter with a smile. The democratic congressman elect the second from the district during the ten years it has been in existence, was jubilant however His only worry appeared to be for a clean democratic sweep. %
 Speaking of his victory, Atty. OSul- livan said that 1t was about as he fig ured it would be. T cannot express my feelings in words at the splendid backing of the electorate in the dis trict. I am mighty proud of myself and them"
 Born in Derby in. 1888. Atty. P. B. OSullivan was reared and educated in the city of his birth. He was graduated from the Derby high school in 1904 and the following year he entered Yale University where he was graduated in 1908.

C., but after a short time, he returned to Yale and en- rolled as a student in the law school from where he received his degree as a lawyer in 1913.

AR,,rsTrcE DAY SIGNIFICANT

IT the people of New Britain are going 10 make Armistice Day, Satur- day. one to be remembered they will begin to get ready now. Engagements should be made with view to giv- ing time to celebration of that day if it is considered of importance. It is we'll, therefore, to consider whether an Armistice Day celebration is worth while.
 Publicity organs which used to men, ton the League of Nations in the smallest type, are beginning to "al- low" that some day there will be, of course, a general getting together of nations that will result in some sort of an agreement, Hess dangerous" than was the Wilson League. they say, but well, something of the sort, Hesi- tating Republicans are delving again into the records of what President Harding said when he was candi- date. about the Association of na- tions," and attempting to show that he, even then, saw the inevitableness of some sort of league"
 Of course there will come some sort of league" It will be an active effective thing, and it will maintain peace. This country can no more keep out of 1t than this country can raise a sea wall which will keep out all communications with the rest of the world.
 And here is where Armistice Day comes in. Quite aside from our own splendid desire to remember fitting ly the day when the blood of our own men ceased to flow, we should observe Armistice Day as the one sentiment upon which all nations, Germany ex- cepted, agree. It is a day the whole world should celebrate because 1t is a day when the world unites in thanksgiving that it came. Celebration of it brings all nations nearer to- gether. It suggests the possibility, sure to materialize, of many other points of agreement between nations which will result in the inevitable, common sense view of war which, once estab- lished, will bring peace.
 We will observe Armistioe Day, not only in our own personal thankful way, but also step in furthering a sentiment for peace and rejoicing over the coming of peace which Is world universal on that day.

yard started out with the proven Haughton system and with tried ma terial; Yale was second only to Har- yard in seasoned players and system. and Princeton had little to rely upon except Princeton ruggedness and spirit. Twenty years ago this condi- ton would have brought Harvard the championship, always allowing for the bulldog spirit of Yale which. in 1890 for instance, held superior Harvard line powerless six inches from Its goal. But today the rules allowing more open play, where the spectacular runs of such as Neidlinger and the ability In passing the ball of Wight are d. ways possibilities make predictions less reliable. There is more of the un- certainty of baseball in the modern game. Possibly 1t is because of this fascinating uncertainty that football has become more popular as 1t has become more sporty.
 The outlook Is. therefore, that while Harvard looks to have team su- perior to the others, the Yale team just developing spectacularly and. to a less degree the Princeton team filled with enthusiasm reminiscent of Poe's drop kick which turned defeat Into last-minute victory in the old days has good chance to spring surprises possible because of the development of the game under the present day rules.
