HOUSING.

Theoretically people are consid-
 crate. Most people are sorry there is so much difficulty in finding a home in which to live in New Britain.
 There are many living in places they can not afford: there are many, pos sibly, looking for a little better places than those which they now occupy.
 The trouble is to get them together; this, to say nothing of those who are actually forced to move out of their present premises or who come here from other places because they intend to make New Britain their home.
 A man is looking for a rent" Perhaps he has been looking for one for a long time. Another man has just the sort of rent" that first man wants. But the owner of the build ing is particular. He wants good sort of tenant-and he has a perfect right to possess this preference. He looks about, letting the apartment remain vacant, until he happens to hear of just the sort of tenant he wants. Meanwhile the rent-seeker, exactly the sort of person the land lord desires, does not know the land lord and does not hear of the vacant rent Then, one day, he sees a fam fly moving into the very rent he would have taken had he known of . it. But it is too late; the landlord at last has found the right sort of tenant, and after weeks of loss of money, has rented the apartment to someone other than the rent-seeker who would have been glad to take the place weeks before and who would have been just as satisfactory to the landlord had the two met.
 This situation ought to be avoided People with vacant rents might we'll let the fact be known and people de- string rents might we'll make them selves known. It Is because of the honest desire to bring this better situation about that the condition is mentioned. It is often aggravating to landlord and rent seekers to find that a satisfactory arrangement, for mu- tual benefit, has been delayed merely because the landlord and rent-seeker did not meet. It is with hesitation that the matter is here mentioned. as the only way out of his predicament seems to be by making use of the wanted" columns of the newspaper. That, however, is a very trivial req son for refraining from suggesting that such use of the columns of the paper would relieve an extremely un- satisfactory condition in the city. All vacant rents Should be occupied, with due regard to the wishes of the land | lord as to the character of tenant de- sired, and all those seeking rents should be accomm odated as far as possible. This Is the end sought, not the increasing by few cents the number of wanted" or flor rent"

Declares Russian School
 System Is DisOrganized

Williamstown, Mass, Aug. 7.-The whole school system of Russia has been disorganized under bolshevist rule, Sir Paul Vinogradoff said in a conference on Russian affairs at the Institute of Politics today. Sir Paul, distinguished Russian jurist, is now professor of law at Oxford university. In general, he said. Russia had been set back two centuries in the demo- cratic reconstruction which was under way before the world war started.

FULL-BL0ODED ALASKAN
 NATIVES DYING OUT
squaws Prefer Men of White Blood Because of Living and Social
 Advantages Offered.

Anchorage, Alaska, Aug. With in a few decades full-blooded natives along the southwestern coast of Alas ka will be scarce, according to Charles Coach, who has spent much time in the lower Cook Inlet coun- try.
 The squaws refuse to marry full blooded men because the white men are better providers and offer better opportunities for social advancement, MT. Coach explained. Only the edu- cated native who has some regular mode of earning living has a chance to win young squaw.

gyman was wet or dry and yet
 he was expected to comment on the suggestion made by the clergyman that he should resign.
 What difference would it makt
 whether the man was a wet or dry! Does MT. Anderson feel it is necessary to gauge his statements according to the source from which the remarks he comments upon come? Must MT. Anderson speak a different language when he says something concerning the words of wet, than the language he speaks when talking about a dry? Has MT. Anderson's political experi- ence taught him that he must know all about the man who makes state ment before he says anything about the man or the remarks he makes?
 The courageous, admirable way we have in this country is not to care who makes certain statement if 1t con- cerns us. It is quite usual, and very straight-from- the shoulder sort of talk, to hear man say. when he hears that something unpleasant has been said about him, That is false statement and don't care who it is who made it." To put the matter in another way 1t is not the American habit of men who are able to look the world in the face, to first inquire who it was who has said something unpleasant. and then, in the light of knowledge of such person, comment upon such unpleasant remark, smiling if it is someone he wishes to placate, | growing and threatening if the person who made the unpleasant statement is an humble person and one not to be feared.
 Why" says Anderson in effect, T can't comment upon this suggestion l that I resign because I don't know who the man is that made it." That is not exactly the way we do things here in this country-unless we are a bit afraid of something or somebody.
