NOT SATISFIED YET

Liquor seizures from foreign ships
haven't satisfied the drys as the gov
eminent hoped they would. They want
the ships seized, too. Unquestionably
they're right, under a strict interpre-
tation of the law.
Lord Curzon English foreign Sec
rotary, speaking in the House Of
Lords, said he agreed with Premier
Stanley Baldwin-there's no use in
protesting against Americas seizures,
because legally she's within her rights.
However, he added, laws should be
applied with common sense" and
there's another consideration. he as
erts-international practice, the COM
ity of. nations. He explained that
British ships were not sent to Amer
lea with liquor on board to violate the
law, but to learn if Americans really
meant to disregard all established
rules of courtesy. 1t was discovered
that they did he said-inviting re
taliation.''
The British government has been
asked already to join other European
powers in adopting retaliatory laws
against American ships in their wa
tiers.
Curzon promised that England new
er will agree to an extension of the
limit of territorial waters from to
~ miles.

WOMEN WIN A POINT.

1t is amusing sometimes to note
the reluctance Of men to recognize
the equality of women with men as
indicated by the granting to them
of the franchise. All right, such
conservatives say, it may be fair to
grant women the vote, but that's far
enough to go. That is not as far as
we will go. Men might just as we'll
grin and bear it, or smile and rejoice,
according to their opinions We have
got to go the limit, taking into due
consideration the physical restrictions
nature has imposed upon women.
The court of appeals of New York
state has just recognized this fact.
The appellate division of the Supreme
Court of that state-the court just
below the court of appeals-bowing
to ancient precedent, said that wife
could not collect from a rival for
damages sustained because that rival
dlli dCteu HuoDttllu ny DeinS lllCc W
him, unless such injured wife could
prove that the rival had actually won
the husbands affections from her.
The appellate court said this although
it would allow husband to collect
damages from male rival even
though he could not prove actual
loss of his wife's affections. So a
woman had to prove more than man
in order to be compensated in dam
ages for misplaced attentions.
The court of appeals, however, in
saying that the appellate division is
wrong on this point, declares in effect
that a wife may recover damages
from her rival If that rival has in
jured her by trying to charm the
husband away, even though she does
not win his affections from the wife.
The highest court in the state has
said, in other words, that the same
rule shall apply to women as that
which obtains in the case of men. 1t
is a step in the right direction.

COMMUNICATED
ANOTHER ANGLE.

July 4tn, 1873
Editor Herald:
The other day / was driving out
Newington Avenue toward the Elm
Hill railroad crossing (where an en-
tire family was killed last Decoration
Day. the signal went red and the
bell began ringing. 1 drew my car
to one side of the road and stopped
about 30 feet from the rails to await
the passage of two trains-both of
which were plainly in sitht-that
were approaching from opposite dir
ections.
AS l was lighting my pipe and
settling back upon the cushions to
while away a tedious wait of at least
four minutes, three separate auto
mobiles, each of which had women
and children aboard but with some
sort of a person in mans attire at
the respective wheels, dashed bravely
ana intrepidly over the tracks be-
tween the engines.
Something must really be done at
this crossing to protect the lives of
the poor engineers, who are likely
to be run over at any minute.

OUR HARDWARE CITY.

We New Britainites take the ac.
for granted that it does no harm tc
emphasize something of what those
accomplishments are. Probably over
a third of the total population of this
city help in achieving these things
which means that vast majority OF
the men who work in this city de-
serve the credit for putting New Brit
ain where it is in the industrial field

women and children, of course.
A report of the hardware products
Of the state for the year 1919 has just
been received and analysed. 1t shows
that the hardware products made
here in that year are valued at $780,
7s2,770, while those of New Haven
were ss,497,119 and Bridgeport 49,
o04,817. This was an increase of
s11,s44,427 over the year 1914. New
Britain also made the largest in
crease In foundry and machine shop
products compared with the same
products for the other four leading
cities of the state, said increase
amounting to S91,5 per cent since

Emphasizing the NICE things
about the home town" and its peo-
pie is seemly and proper, even when
resort has to be made to generalties
such as reference to the character of
the city, its artistic beauty and the
worthiness of it's citizens. This is
quite as it should be provided such
boosting" is not carried to the ex-
tent of falling to see the city's faults.
These generalties show the proper
spirit of loyalty-and no person may
be happy in a town or city when
obsessed by a desire to criticize it.
But far better than such generali-
ties are figures showing why the home
town Is worthy, why its people are
worthy. The figures given above
serve as practical basis for speak
ing a word of praise not only for the
wisdom and enterprise of the officers
of the organizations which make New
Britain, but also for every person
who, working for such organizations,
makes such figures possible by their
energy and efficiency.

which brought, from many quarters
the answer that it's been so regarded
for some time.

and get Germany started toward re-

His plans to call a conference on
the subject, including England,
France, Belgium, Italy. Portugal, ia
pan, America and maybe some more,
and then, if France doesn't attend, to
have the rest confer anyway. But he
thinks France will come rather than
have no voice in a discussion which
will concern her so much. However,
some diplomats believe she'll 60 it
alone at any cost, in preference to
letting Germany get on the upgrade
again.
One suggestion is to have America
agree that Germany shall assume con-
tinental Europe's debts to her-no re-
Mobilization program could be COM
plete without a scheme for letting
Americas debtors out of paying what
they owe.

BEAUTY AND HEALTH
By DIR. LILLIAN WHITNEY

w. G.-I will gladly contribute an article on chilblains for an early is- sue. The condition of your hands re- qulres constant attention so that the trouble does not progress.
 At this time of the year you should begin to bathe them morning and night in water the temperature of your body and to which you have added few drops of lysol. An excel lent treatment for frost-bitten hands and feet is a preparation containing iodine. You cannot very we'll employ this on your hands, especially as you are engaged in selling articles of feminine attiro and must, therefore, be unusually thoughtful of the sp- pearance of your hands. I would suggest. therefore, that you treat them at all times, when not engaged in business, with a liberal dressing of the following ointment: Boric acid, 1 ounce oxide of zinc ointment and cold cream, of each, 8 ounces. At bedtime smear the hands with a thick layer of this ointment and cover lightly with bandaGes. l do not suggest gloves to be worn during sleep, s they are heating and so might aggraYate the condition.

The shape itself Is more or less like many others we have seen. However, there is a great deal of snap and novelty in the way that the crown Is embellished. Gold thread is coiled into circles about the size of a penny and these glimmering spots are all ternated with others made of bronze spangles. A narrow rose bronze and gold reversible ribbon is loosely tied around to mark the line of the crown. Gold thread, bronze spangles, rosy bronze and gold ribbon on the rich brown velvet give a striking effect that would delight young girl whose hat have recently become a very important and weighty matter, so to speak.
 Then there is the little feather trimming on the right side. Brown and pale rose are blended together, carrying out the coloring of the trim ming on the crown. The same dis cretion that is evident in the making of the rest of the hat has also been exercised In choosing the feather ornament. There Is just a touch of pale rose to be seen and the flanges have been thinned out, keeping the feather simple and girlish. If it were little too dashing or the least bit flamboyant the youthful effect would be spoiled.
 Very young ladies are puzzling sometimes in their violent likes and dislikes. But underneath it all they are expressing newly found person. alities through hats and dresses. Their clothes sense is developing. We

THAT HOLIDAY HAT
By JANET WINsLow

Many families number among their members a young miss who will soon arrive home from boarding school for her Christmas holidays. She is sure to be in gala mood. Matinees and tea parties vii combine in a whirl of holiday festivities for her.
 Yes, you probably have guessed 1t. She will need new hat. All her other hats will immediately become things, and it Is a pretty safe wager that she will convince mother as to the de- plorable condition of her headgear.
 What sort of hat shall it be then? The exacting little lady of fourteen or fifteen demands a certain amount of sophistication in her hats. And yet, if they overstep the mark adolescence takes on a farcial sort of maturity.
 Keep young" is the watchword for women of all ages. Nevertheless, 1t | is sometimes difficult to make these grown-up little girls realize how much their youthful charm means | The best thing to do is to suggest a hat that is thoroughly attractive as we'll as suitable. It will be the best sort of argument.
 Now, here is a hat ideal for a young girl. It isn't too naive, nor is it old looking. Tete de negre velvet is used to fashion the soft, rather large crown and the tiny brim.
