AT EIGHTY-FIYE.

The friends of James F. Shepard are wishing him many happy returns of this day which is the eighty-fifth anniversary of his birth. But there Shepard's birthday: there is more to 1t than the bare announcement, and in all it means many who have never seen him are interested. All men and women are interested to know that another man eighty-five years old, of sincerity and intelligence, a man of learning in fields which have taken him into the musty files of other days, greets his friends and ac- quaintances with the smile that sees the good in the world, the innocent humor in many of life's phases which, to the less mentally alert, mean nothing.
 Readers of this newspaper are familiar with some of the products of Mir. Shepsrd's pen which now treat of intensely interesting historical or scientific matters. now turn into pleasant verse some lighter aspect of life. The sincere wish is expressed that as those anniversar ries keep re- turning his smile may be as sponta- neous his wit as keen and his life as peaceful as it is today.

UNITED ALLIES,

France made a firm reply to Ger
 many some days ago, expressing ah. selnte dissatisfaction with the eom- muniestlon from that country in Fe- gard 10 separations, Comment was made in these columns that Frances failure 10 consult England and Italy before making that reply did not inc diests any difference Of opinion among the allies' that only Germany might see any hope in the fact that France answered her communication independently. While seeing the greater force q reply would have if coming from France. England. Italy and Belgium together, the prediction was made that the sentiment regard ing Germany's offer was harmonious Now that England and Itniy have sent replies ths only point worth em- phasizing is that such replies have shown an even greater support of Frances answer that might have been expected. England told Germany that it is time to talk business" Italy has said it Is with q feeling of sstonishment" that she finds the offer 90 far below the proposals contained in the British governments scheme presented at the Paris conference.
 The organs of public opinion of this country are in duty bound to tell Germany just exactly where she stands in regard to that public opinion. It is one way of trying to make Germany open her eyes to the of the course of delay and subterfuge she has been pursuing and which she seems loath to aban- don.

New Britain certainly is glad ts have the Normal school here.

BUILDING.

Some time ago Secretary Hoover
 favored the postponing of govern
 ment building on the ground that such action would relieve the present demand for labor which makes it
 expensive for private persons to plan
 to construct homes, and would tend
 to reduce the price of building mate rial. His idea was that nothing should be placed in the way of indi- viduals who wanted to build, and that everything should be done to en- courage such building at this time when the shortage of homes all over the country is apparent.
 It is interesting to note, in view of this fact, that President Harding after discussing government building with his cabinet, with respect to housing the government activities chiefly at Washington, concurred in the decision to present to Congress next DeCemper program loF Col- struction of more and adequate faci- ities. In other words it would seem that the President and members of his cabinet, of which of course Sec retary Hoover is one, believe that the building situation will be such, by next December, to make 1t advisable to withdraw the restrictions upon government building. The logical conclusion to be drawn, therefore, is that if inactivity in the building line by the government brings q better time for private building, that advan- age will cease after the end of the year, and that the present is good time to build --- unless Secretary Hoover's reasoning was wrong. These facts, taken in connection with Roger Babson's prediction that commodities will continue at their present level probabi throughout this year, or may go higher, would seem to strengthen the conviction that If one intends to build during the next few years the present is as good time as any to do it.

UNREQUI7ED LOVE
 CAUSE OF SUICIDE
Girl Follows Man Here From
 FranCe..DrOWnS Herself

New York, May 16.-Cnrequited love caused the suicide by drowning of the girl whose body was found in the ocean at Long Beach. L. J., yes terday, it was learned today, when H.. Starr Giddipgs. young Manhattan law yer, barred the details of the story that led to the tragic death.
 It was the girls desire to become his bride that caused her to come here from her home in Paris and which undoubtedly impelled her to kill herself when she learned of his marriage to another woman three weeks ago, Mir. Giddings said
 The girl, at first identified as Mary King, was named Marie Kieth. She was 20 years old and a native of AL sace Lorraine. Mir. Giddings said he met her in 1920 when he made a busi- ness trip to France and that she had become infatuated with him and fol- lowed him after he had returned home.
 T had endeavored to persuade her to return to France, telling her that believed her to be too fond of me and that we never could be more than friends" he said "She said that she had no friends in France and would not go. The last time I saw her was when she met me in the street with the young woman I have just married. She stopped suddenly, burst into tears and walked rapidly away"
 ufo .l after Long Beach and New York au- thorties had said they were investi- gating the circumstances of her death. The lawyer explained that he did not wish to have his connection with the case made hay by the un- explained details.
