WE SALUTE THE STAFF

The members Of the Governors
 military staff have been ordered to
 one days tour of duty at New Britain
 Monday, April 2, flor attendance upon His f.xcellency, the Governor" The occasion for the appearance of the staff here will be the military ball to be given at the armory by Head quarters company, First Battalion, 169th infantry and Go. H, National Guard. It is said this will be the first time in at least 2S years that the city has been honored officially by the Governor and his staff.
 There is an atmosphere of od-time dignity of office and stern respect for authority about this formal order that takes one back to the early days of New England and revives almost for gotten pictures of the military aspect that predominated governmental af- fairs in those strenuous days. Men e'ih NoiilNll Ntlt ottll diitftillS lO old, rigid rules of life, and under them they prospered and grew strong, mentally, spiritually and physically. No one would go back to those day now. but many may well regret the lack of respect for authority, obedi- ence to the hard rules of life that strengthened character. Men and women grew powerful because it was for them to develop themselves in their freedom. The weddings fell aside and gave way to the men and women who, by force of character became the integral parts of New England, of America.
 We'll may we regret the passing of the strong whose strength lay in themselves. A multitude of laws did not forbid them to do this thing and compel them to do that. Laws were few, but strength prevailed. Perhaps there will be an inspiration in the ap- pearance of the Governor and his staff-an inspiration not only for those who greet them Monday night at the armory, but an inspiration, also. for the Governor and members of his staff in the realization that real strength does not lie in compelling obedie0ce to trivial laws, but rather to developing strong men and women who are strong in their own power.

ton for the common council men who might be subseryient to others,
 The prophecy is made in all sin- cerity that the result of the recent nominations will bring far less inde- pendenee to the city government than there has been in the past-and it has not been great of recent years. The statement is made in all earnestness that the people of New Britain who alphabetically vote, he they private citizens or holders of office, are doing their city. state and country grave wrong in allowing the seed of smi- in, smooth tyranny to take root,

business Surely they deserve some
 voice in a matter which affects them
 so vitally. If the mothers of this
 country could vote on this issue of
 daylight saving, we should never have
 this unpleasant and unnatural law
 forced upon us again.
 l Hundreds of the. mothers in this
 city are not interested in golf. do
 not play bridge, and can't afford the
 luxury of a car to ride in. Many of them are not interested in politics, or
 have not had the education to fit them for any sphere outside the home. But real mothers have com mon interest. regardless of social standing, and that is the welfare of their children. Last fall statistics came in from all over the country showing that daylight savings had had a demoralizing effect upon the chit dren of our country. Teachers claimed that the children were drowsy in school from being awakened an hour earlier than was natural and that in many cases headaches and lack of int terest in studies followed.
 AMotHeTS Wltn DhDieS or young cnlI- dren know how hopeless it was to get them to go to bed an hour earlier, while it was still hot and noisy. They couldn't sleep, so the only alternative was to put them to bed by stAndard time, but take them up by daylight time. Naturally they couldn't sleep in the morning, with everyone else in the house Up. It seems quite. as es- sential, from mothers standpoint, that her children, as we'll as the rest of the household, get their proper rest, as it does for favored few to have an extra hour at night in which to enjoy themselves.
 Under stapdard time,f if. "a man wanted to get up early and work in his garden, or wash his car, he did so, without upsetting the hours of any one else. But if our shops open an hour earlier, they will affect every home, and every man, woman and child in the city, and we may, as we'll openly defy the law, and set all our I clocks ahead, thereby ushering in an- other summer of discontent and con- fusiOn. ,5ss# A gr tfTsE 9fE f.43s

who smoked cigarettes was generally
 considered to be Q black sheep headed straight for states prison, so he was | forced to do his buying and smoking
 as secretly as possible. In those days, the favorite was Sweet Caps" which
 sold ten for nickel. But nickel was
 a lot of money and the average boy
 who smoked would go to the corner
 cigar stand with q penny and buy two cigarettes. Before the sale could
 be consummated, the proprietor
 of the store would so out on the side
 walk and look up and down to learn whether there was policeman in the neighborhood. If the man in blue" was in sight, there was no sale. A fel- low thought he made a ten-strike when he bought the last two cigar cites in the package and was given the picture of the actress contained therein.
 Highes. in demand was the picture of Lillian Russell. although there were other ladies of the stage who were also favorites. Most of them were quite beyond the pale of polite society because they were dressed in tights, and, like tn eboys who smoked, couldn't possibly amount to anything.
 'Pitchin' pictures" was popular pastime. just as pitching pennies" is today. Boys would toe a mark ten feet away from a wall and scale the pie lures at it. The one whose picture fell nearest the wall won all that had been sealed" The more adept boys had large picture galleries, but they hid them under the back steps when en- tering their homes because it woul1 shock mother and the girls'-al- though it might amuse father-if they knew that his chief treasure was collection of photograph of ladies in such brazen poses and garbs.

Quick u. S. Lunches
Banned In Paris
By Doctors

PA R1S, Nov. %. The
French Academy Of Medicine,
replying to questions from the
Ministry Of Hygiene, advises
against changing the French
custom of q leisurely meal at
midday in favor of the quick
lunch system practiced in
America.
DR.. Leon Bernard said that
q heavy morning meal was q
good idea from a medical and
an efficiency point Of view, but
that eight hours was too long
for q worker.
He favored the half hour
lunch period, but in practice,
he concluded, the present sys-
tenn could not be changed easily
in France, as custom is too
strong.
