New York, Nov. An inquisitive customs inspector today uncovered a secret cache containing 2e0 cases of French liquors. with bootleg value Of s20,o0. on Tug Capitol No. 1. which was captured off College Point Tuesday
 The customs men found 2,000 cases of liquors, valued at s200.000 when they captured the Capitol While in- specting the boiler room today, In- spector John Fox followed the marks of feet in the engine grime and came upon the cache. It was a compart- 'nent under a boiler, said to have a capacity for at least twenty men. Gus toms officials are investigating the Capitol's immediate past. in the be- lief that she may have engaged in the smuggling of Chinese as well as rum.
 Tho Capitol, officials said. was for mcTly the John Cam. captured off Perth Amboy last June with a large cargo of liquor, The government sold her and she again found her way into tho hands Of liquor smugglers.

CHIUDREN'S READING

Next week comes the time when emphasis is laid on children's reading. It will be National 'Children's Book Week at the New Britain Institute and the childrcn's department will be open
 from 9 a. m. to D. m. Parents and teachers. says the announcement. arc especially requested to visit the library during this period. A list Of books that will be available is given and the prospect should please.
 But there is far more in the ob- servlnce of this week of asking chil- dren, parents and teachers to come to the library. than in trying to get the children to read the books mentioned. There are many devoted little people who know the joys of tho library and the help it gives them to have hap py time in life. But there are many others who have not formed the habit of going to the library, reading the books recommended for them, and experimenting what they learn at school with other reading, Many Of the parents of these children are not given to reading. They do not scC pcO- pl" reading and enjoying it. They have heard, perhaps, that that's nothing hut string of lies" the rc- mark being applied 10 some work Of fiction. Thcy, in other words, have not come in contact with the atmos- rhcrc of reading and they know nothing at all Of what reading may mean to them in their struggle for success and happiness.
 II is this-aspect Of the children's woel, that is emphasized. The coming seven days will be a good time for many teachers, if they are in earnest in their desire to educate the children under their charge, to take their pu- pils in groups, perhaps. or individual 'Nt tb llt ibldiN' 4llt 'haIl NHilI' anxious 10 explore. will not show any lack Of interest Many now converts 10 reading may be made in this way. Parents. too, will be astonished to sec thc joy which often accompanies childs first sight Of many hooks in long rows. all written for children to read and to profit by.
 The day has passed when there is any necessity Of emphasizing the value Of reading There are few really big men or women in thc world toe day who do not attribute much Of their success 10 generous reading There is one or the richest men now living who, had ho been an eager stu dent or books an his life might have had chance 10 takc a place at tho head of this great nation. Quite prob- ably he is sorry he neglected reading and study in his cbildhood--unless lack of reading has blunted his mem tality to such an extent that he does not know what he has lost.
 The child that gets the habit Of reading starts out well prepared to meet the world.

action. The school board is sitting
 tight, confident of it's power. And probably some members of the com mon council are "viewing with alarm"
 these attitudes and ''poiatins with
 pride" to its powers in the past.
 What are the boards and commis-
 sions for? Why not leave to the f common council the duty of attend 1 ing to all the matters now looked 1 after by the board? The answer is simple: Tho common council is sup posed to consider matters of general policy; to have supervision over the | actions of the boards which it or the
 mayor appoints. Matters of detail
 usually do not concern that body un-
 less a matter of policy is involved. In
 q sense the common council is the
 superintendent of the city work and affairs. The boards are there to at tend to the details. In certain cases they submit their findings to the council for approval. The larger
 body, like "a wise employer, should recognize the greater opportunity for detailed investigation the board pos sesses and should adopt the recom- mcndations of the board unless it sees some wise policy endangered.
 Taka the matter under discussion as an cXample-the letting of the con tract for the construction of the new building at the town home. If the council considers that the policy of trading at home" is involved to such an extent that it is of more impor- tance than having the sort of build ing and the sort of construction deemed best by the board which has the duty Of Investigating everything in detail, it is proper for the council to consider the matter from that point of view. But it is impossible for the council 10 hear al the evidence as to tho ability of a certain contractor to do the work, that has been heard by the board. It is impossible for the council to investigate, as the board quite probably has done, all the cir cumstances in connection with let ting this contract. We hold no brief for tho Now Britain concern which the board is reported to favor despite the fact that it is not the lowest bid der, nor do we wish to present any arguments in favor of or against the Hartford company which is the low est bidder. The. point to be empha- sized is that the board of charities if 1 it has done it's duty, has investigated i and has formed d conclusion as 10 | what concern will d9 the work in the i most acceptable manner. IL may | have information that makes its de- csion wise beyond criticism, and yet information that it would not con- sidcr expedient to make public. This is merely a suppositon. At any rate the boards are created 10 do tho de- tailed work of investigation Of mat ters withins their province. No mat ter what powers the common council may or may not possess it should be very sure or its ground before it re- fuses to accept the recommendation of any board, such recommendation being based, presumably, on circum- stances and information obtaining and obtained by the hoard in the perform ancc Of the duties for which it was created.
