THE THANKS OF ALL

Certainly not only New Britain peo. pie, but many others far from this city who travel over the road from Boston corners" Berlin, to the foot of Sand Bank Hill, are grateful for the support of Senator Richard Co., vert of this city and Representative Arthur Benson, of East Berlin, in the endeavor to have the state make this highway a part of the Connecticut Gov. Templeton to show. by his sigma ture. to the bill, his recognition of the idents of this neighborhood, but also by many thousands who come over it annually for business or pleasure on their way to other points
 A new attitude of mind regarding roads must come with the> tremend- ous development of automobile travel. Legislation calculated to improve the TOduS oT lu pidce lHeu uIueT proper care benefits not any one class of peo- pie to the exclusion of others; it bene- fits all. The great number of people who drive cars today, in business or for, pleasure, form a body to be con- .sidered whenever the matter of roads is mentioned and there is no man, whether he owns or drives a car or not, who is not prospective user of means of transportation are driving the most economical to buying cars, land the end is not yet. The Cover nor will act wisely if he recognizes this situation and signs the bill.

ARIsTOCRACy OF BRAINS

The President of Dartmouth college
 has just defended his idea of 'an
 aristocracy of brains" He believes
 colleges are getting to the point where they can determine if applicants are capable of doing college work and
 where they are found unfit he says he will advocate disseminating their courses. He declares it is impossible to create intellect.
 Certainly, as far as we know, he is correct. It is impossible to create in- tellect, or rather, it has been impos- sible thus far in the development of science to create intellect. But a few years ago it seemed impossible to do lot of things which we have since found to be possible. As the learned educator was not quoted at length we do not know just how he may have modified his statement, but it would seem that he had gone step too far if he said merely that it the present day, psychological tests had been so perfected that an absolute lack Of in- tellect could be discovered.
 The word "aristocracy' is not q popular word in this country although it probably expresses just what the president of this college meant. Con- fusion might arise by the use of the word, some people mistaking him to mean that those who possessed brains are aristocrats. or course he meant nothing of the sort Nor did he mean that there need be any more than a germ of intellect discoverable to en- title an applicant for college to it's ad- vantages. He merely meant that tests could disclose the absolutely hope less cases--people whose time would be absolutely wasted were they to go to college. One hcsitates to be- lieve, however, that the scientists have so perfected their tests that they should be allowed to pronounce per- son who has passed the necessary ex- aminations which enttie him to try for entrance to college, incapable of going any farther. It should be add ed, in order that the educator will not be misunderstood. that he believes, probably, that there are many eligi- ble for this "aristocracy of brains who have no education at all. He does not refer to what q man knows; he fers to the latent possibilities in al mans mind. M

GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP

Too much stress" remarks Percy
 D. Haughton, former Harvard foot
 ball coach and now occupying the
 same position at Columbia, lis placed Good sportsmanship, a healthy body
 and mind. the unselfishness of team
 play ara some of the real benefits derived V. I do not think. how ever, that when a college builds its athletic system on sound basis of sportsmanship, with view to benefits along that line, it not infrequently happens that victories seem to follow as matter of course"
 Certainly such statements regarding sport. coming from the man who will be supreme in football, at least, at the great New York institution, are fine. He has set up an ideal which is worth keeping in mind for those who will "try for" the team. The first evil dence of such spirit would come in the advantages it would bring to team work. No man may be really valua- ble to any athletic organization-as valuable as possible-unless he con- siders the team first, his own reputa- ton second. It is this sort of spirit that draws the tremendous crowds to college games; it would be the lack of this spirit that would make those crowds grow smaller from year to year. One of the best proofs of the love of the people for fair play is the enthusiasm with which a sports manlike action toward an opponent is greeted. The only organized cheering which is applauded at game by dis interested people is the cheer given one university for the other The act of courtesy is popular.
 Percy Haughton was great foot ball and baseball player when in col lege, as those who remember his play ing, know. He was easy, graceful and possessed of a manner that al- most said, pardon me-" as man was thrown out at the first base he cover ed, but I am forced to retire you Hard luck" Perhaps he overdid the manner Certainly he played hard, | and he did not allow his manner to | harm his effectiveness. On occasions But whatever sort of man Haughton | was in his playing days or in his private life it is good to know that he | intends to instill this idea of the beau ty of good sportsmanship into his charges.

EASTER LILY SEEDS ARE
 NOT GROWN IN THE U. s
Is Now No Longer Necessary to De. pend Upon Imported Bulbs from
 Bermuda, Scientists Say.

Washington, April 6.7-Easter lilies can now be grown from seed in this country. Once it was necessary to depend upon imported bulbs from Bermuda. Then Japan got into the market and ten million bulbs have been imported from the Orient.
 But now say the scientists of the American Nature Association, better as well as earlier maturing lilies can be produced right at home. This is the result of six years of study at the Arlington experimental farm in Virginia at the foot of the hill crowned by the Memorial Amphithe- ater, where lies the body of the Un- known Soldier
 The individual grower can raise his own seed by purchasing imrA"bd bulbs either in the early winter or at Easter when most of the plants are in blossom, and grow seed for plant ing the following January. The Amer icanized lilies blossom in from Is to IS months. This decreases the ex- posture of the bulbs to disease and markedly speeds up their conner cial production.
 Easter lily bulbs are curious in their response to American climate. They will winterkill in the Gulf states, where the mild climate in duces top growth which succumbs whenever the temperature drops. Under normal conditions of winter

DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION

At least it may he said of the Dem convention last night that they arc probably more representative of the Democratic party Of the city, as dis tinguished from machine, than arc the Republican candidates who, as previously characterized, are dis tinctly regular" Both the factions of the Democratic party were repre- sented and there was comparative harmony between the so-called Paon- essa group and the Halloran group. '" Of course the Democratic system differs from that of the republicans in the. selection of candidates. In the former party caucuses are held in the wards, and delegates to the city con vention chosen. These delegates se- lect the nominees, for the school board. etc, while in the Republican primaries the voters select the nom- inees direct. Perhaps 1000 republi- cans voted for nominees at the primaries of the party.
 It is not a great compliment to say that there would be more independ- ence among the democratic candidates were they to be elected than among the. Republicans for there is little chance of success for any ";ndepend- ent Republican while the present Republican machine holds power.

Hotels and camps have been erected to provide comfort able accommodations in the most dis tant and inaccessible places. Free camp grounds have been provided for those who wish to bring their own equipment and camp out. These ur- spoiled bits of native America are for you. The yare the playgrounds and the recreation parks of the people. To visit them and see them is to inspire pride and make more real your love for America. In the name of the gov ernment I invite you to be it's guest"
 Planting and restocking of waters in national parks promise one of the biggest fishing years on record, &C., cording to department officials. The streams and lakes are expected to be teeming with trout and other game fish when the season opens, and parks are thrown open to anglers.
 A bulletin issued by the Interior which is available for the asking, describing the nature of the fishing, the limitations on catch, fees and other data, has recently been I piled for the national park visitor.
