sportsmen will be shocked to read
of the defamation OF fish In Mine
Brook, which flows from Whigville
reservoir to Forestville. by the free
ing OF quantity Of chlorine at the
reservoir by employees of the New
Britain water department.
Palnstaking efforts have been made
to stock the brook with trout. II
was believed that the stream would
provide entertainment for nimrods,
not to mention the delicious meals
which were drawn out on a hook.
This hope Is partly blasted by the
news that the chlorine has killed
hundreds-in the language of The
Herald's informant. perhaps thou
sands"-of fish.
1t is not claimed that the water
department employees were guilty of
other than thoughtlessnes
when they allowed the chlorine to
flow into the brook. Foresight, of
course, would have prevented the
needless slaughter. Arrangements
should be made so that an occur
renee of this nature will not be re-
peated.

LIQUOR NEWS.

The information from Washington
may not be news" after all, but it
is worth emphasizing. There is a
sensible way to look at the liquor
situation and a fantastic way. One
prefers the sensible way, despite the
fanatics.
1t is well to know that the govern
ment has analyzed some 10000 sam
pies of liquor seized In the past year.
1t is well to know that the govern
ment found only l per cent of that
liquor" to be genuine-the rest of
it had been tempered with. The
mead OF the government laboratories
says conservatively that drinking of
moonshine liquor may not directly
cause death but it's toxins (whatever
that may mean) are cumulative and
result in death if INDUCED in for
protracted period. It is impossible
TO detect the presence of wood alco-
hol, he asserts, without a chemical
analysis. Three ounces have caused
death.
The thought that comes from this
statement is that anyone who takes
drink of liquor" procured from
questionable sources-and most of
the sources are questionable-can not
be sure, after waiting few minutes
and blinking his or her eyes to see
If the result will be blindness or death5l
that death will not come if the drink
Ing is continued. Put in the YER
nacular one may say that drinking
moonshine liquor" will get you if
you keep at it. This is not an ortho-
dox prohibition argument. It is
merely emphasizing a fact that
everyone should know.

LINCOLN, THE BIG MAN.

1t used to be said of the great
actor Edwin Booth that he surround
ed himself with poor actors in order
that his ability might stand out more
intensely Frequently 1t is said that
beautiful actresses do not care to run
the risk of having their beauty over
Swallowed by other handsome women
IN the play In which they are ap-
pearing. Mentally small people. and
those who are vain, often prefer to
travel with those who look insig-
nifcant when compared to them.
An extremely interesting sidelight
on Abraham Lincoln's mental bigness
as we'll as his physical size, may be
seen in the notice of the death of
one John Schultz, of Pottsville, Pa.
1t is said that he was feet inches
tall and that he was selected by Lin
coin to stand beside him when he
reviewed the Union troops at the
close of the Civil war. 1t is said too,
that John Schultz was selected by the
great Lincoln because of that very
size and the mans martial bearing,
A little thing, you may say-but
one of these which we like to hear
ABOUT Abraham Lincoln, the big man.

OUR ATHLETIC POLICE.

Men are not put on the police
force because of their athletic PROV
ess, of course. But it is pretty sat
isfactory to be able to feel that the
policemen of our city are strong,
alert and fleet of foot. Some OF, them
went down to Lighthouse Point the
other day and stood well among the
officers from other cities who COM
peted against them in athletic events.
The psychology of the situation is
that crooks and lawbreakers and
those who would like to be crooks
and lawbreakers if they dared, have
a great deal more respect for police
men who have shown their strength
and agility than thy have for force
which is content to patrol the beat
and take things easy.
gentleman who desires to gain
living by doing something prohibited
by the law would hesitate long were
ne to feel that perhaps Officer Sui
Ivan, the fast runner might take
after him, or that Officer Politis, the
expert broad Jumper, might land on
him with both feet; or that the fleet
Officer Feeney might be somewhere
about: or that Officer Veley, power
full of arm, might be lingering near
Then how would the criminally in
clined person feel. when about to per-
petuate some evil deed, were Officers
Grabeck or Lee or any of the other
strong men of the force, to cast their
shadows across the path?
Our police force is all right. Go
20 1t, gentlemen, and keep the crooks
wise to the fact that you are alive. |
The moral effect is splendid.

these newspapers into the greatest

His cash to wife--no favor;

Your riches to another?

You leave this world, my brother.

FROM YASHMAK TO SPORT CAP

The pretty 19-year-old bride of Mustapha Kemal
is actively in accord with her husbands campaign for
the emancipation of Turkish women. In token of her
approval Mrs. Kemal appeared in Angora the other
day dressed snug riding breeches aunty short coat
high boots, spurs and smart outing cap. 1t would be
difficult to imagine costume more at variance with
the swathing garments of the typical Turkish woman
The coming into power of the nationalist party
has given great impetus to the movement for feminine
freedom in Turkey. If the movement advances
briskly it has begun, the ladies of the harem
will dress freely their western sisters and minge
as freely in public and social life.
This will mean much to the women themselves.
1t would also have bearing upon Turkish policies
which will affect favorably the relations of other
tons with Turkey. AS these women come in contact
with the world at home and abroad, they will acquire
and spread liberal opinions, with the result that
much which is barbarous and intolerable in Turkish
practices should disappear
