PRIORITY IN DOUBLE DEATH

FcminiSts are not the only rea-
soning things who will approve the
bill that the Connecticut senate
has passed and the house will
probably concur in, declaring that
when a husband and wife meet a
violent death simultaneously the
law shall so recognize it.
The occurrence is rare, but an
occasional instance of double
fatality has attracted public atten-
ton because the resulting legal
tangle was emphasized by the So
cial position and wealth OF the vic
Tins. AS a matter of fact some
seconds, at least, must usually
elapse between the passing of two
lives in common tragedy. But
where ii is not possible to deter
mine priority for the legal purpose
of establishing inheritance, it is
the presumption of the common
law that the woman died first,
since immemorially woman has
been the weaker vessel

walton, of course, that the weak

as a disease, longer than the
strong, and an infant survive
where giant would succumb. But
the weaker vessel theory has long
served conveniently as a working
hypothesis for the orderly DISPOSE
ton of estates. 1t would appear
that no injustice would be done,
however. if the presumption now
to he established in Connecticut
law were the general rule. and
some other states may already have
a statute OF that kind. Incden-
tally, though perhaps not expressly
intended, the rule will be a con-
tribution to the widespread move

ne ever went upstairs at SUCH an

him many years ago that even theh
his intellectual attitude was Sug-
gested by the question, What is
the next step?" but took it always
deliberately, serenely, fearlessly.
With all his rcmarkable achieve

turned the place over like flap

Theodore Roosevelt, born when Dr..
Eliot was an assistant professor OF
chemistry and mathematics at
Harvard and dying when his col

vigor of his age, should have said
of him: "Iic is the only man in

MOODS. AND LENSES

porting her untimely death. AS a

murdered by her moods. AS
brilliant in her studies as she was
beautiful in personal appearance,
this young lady prematurely died a
victim of morbidity. Apparently
having everything to live for, with
abundant health and troops of
friends, she nevertheless elected
the sad camaralerie of death.
Too many people, like this UNI
fortunate girl. make themselves
miserable trying to be happy. Few

to unravel the skein OF LIES mys-
terry in which we are all more or
less tangled But many by brood

THE ELTINGE

The feature at the Eltinge thcater
for today and tomorrow is Luck
featuring Johny Hines with Violet
Mersercau, Charlie Murray, Flora
Finch, Robert Edeson, Edmun d.
Brcesc and Polly Moran also in the
cast.
Luck" is melodramatic comedy
or comedy mclodrama if you choose
to say it the other way. This work
is probably described best by the
word "Melocomedy" which was the
happy medium hit upon by one of the
New York critics when viewing this
picture in New York. Hines has
created type of comedy and style
of acting as individual as Chaplin or
Lloyd or any of our other we'll
known screen actors.
The story deals with rich young
man who, tauntcd with being abso-
lutely useless to the world, wagers
that he can make ten thousand
dollars in year, starting with moth
ing and wearing racing togs. 1t is
needless to say that Johnny wins the
bet after divers adventures and
thrills.
Other numbers on the Eltinge pro-
gram for Friday and Saturday are

and a Johnny Jones comedy, Broad

School Board
Must Pay For
Transportation

A school board in a consolidated
school district does not have the OPP
ton to discontinue paying parents
for transportation of pupils to
school, when it deems such action
advisable in the interest of economy
and when transportation has not
been provided for by public convey
ance, according to an opinion rem
dcrcd Cathay school officers by the
Attorney Generals Office.
A 1917 law providing that if no
school is taught the required length
of time within 2 Ia miles from the
residence of a child, the school board
shall pay, except in the case consol-
idated schools, rs to so cents per
day to any one family living more
than 2 Ia miles from the nearest
school, or the hoard shall furnish
transportation, or equivalent in
lodging if acceptable to the family.
"That is the general provision re-
lative to common school DISTRICTS
the opinion says, referring to the
statute. 'Upon consolidation there
is no relief from duty to furnish
transportation"
The consolidated school transport
tation law, provides the board shall
furnish public conveyance unless
two-thirds Of the voters vote against
it, upon organization of CONSOLE
dated school district. The opinion
holds that the only difference in the
duty Of the board is as to the mode
and method of furnishing transport
tation.
