there is no violent rush TO talk about

All Of which is to emphasize the
evidences of better times to those who
need them most which comes with
the report Of the board OF charities for
the year. II we want to look at the
figure 1t brings some satisfaction to
finld that only 263 families needed aid
from the board this year instead OF
72s as last year, and that there is a
having turned back into other de-
partments a matter of $4,000. Fur
ther reason for qualification comes
from the statement that the Welfare
association, the Day Nursery, the
churches and private agencies have
worked in harmony with and given
splendid support to the board of
charities and that practically every
needy case received attention. Fine re-
ports of the Town Home and Farm
are made and 1t would seem that the
coming Of prosperity has been reflect
ed in all conditions affecting the peo-
Pile with whom the board comes in
contact.
After all, it is not easy for the
prosperous who stop to realize how
we'll off they are, to gain full enjoy
ment of that prosperity as long as
they feel that there are many less
fortunate than they to whom such
means little. In one Of the
popular Shows" of the season smil-
ing comedian comes forward and in
ouires anxiously Everybody Happy"
It would be great satisfaction to feel
that, indeed, everybody is happy. This
being impossible, the next best thing
is to be able to know that there are
more people comparatively happy this
year than there were last-to be able
to hope that the better times will con-
tinue and that as the months pass we
may more nearly approach a situation
where "Everybody's happy"

SAFETY CAMPAIGN

An automobile safety Campaign
starts next week. Look at the figures,
and then make determination, to-
morrow morning, that you will not be
one to add to the terrible menace OF
the highways. The menace has been
increasing tremendously. Carelessness
is the cause, where recklessness is not
to blame. In Hartford there were
nearly three times as many accidents
last week as the same week year
ago. In New London there were ex-
actly three times as many: in New
Britain there were more than twice
as many as in the same week a year
ago. There were increases In the num-
Der of accidents in all OF the seven
largest cities in the state. In none was
there a falling of in the number.
Drivers of automobiles should re-
member this fact-the majority Of the
people do not own automobiles and
the majority usually mas ito way lIl'i-
ly in matters of government. If the
number of accidents continues to in
crease that great majority Of people
will be heard from. We have recently
seen to what lengths our Legislators
will go in passing restricting laws. VI
a great demand arose from the peo-
ple" that drastic legislation be pass
ed regarding the driving of automo-
bilcs, it is probable that there would

would not be carried In order to

SCHOOL FRATERNTTIEs

The school authorities are not the
only thinking people who are intense
ly interested in the proper attitude to
take regarding High school fraterni-
ties, sororities or societies. Men and
women realize that, in all probability,
their memebres, and those who
should be members but who are not
make up the field from which will
come the future leading men of the
country.
That is the point that that the
young men and women themselves
ought to realize. Just as soon as they
do this there will come no COM
plants about fraternities or societies
or any organizations formed in school
just the moment a sense of respon-
sibiity is felt by members of these So
cieties, Just so soon they will be every
thing they should be. If every member
OF society could only realize that he,
I0dI member, mas great lnnuerCe
now and will have a greater influence
as the years pass, he will be earnest in
his desire to make that influence of
kind that will bring to him a reputa-
ton for manliness, fairness and
strength upon which he may build,
upon which others may rely.
There is no wish to preach" to
these young members of any frater-
nifty or to members Of any other
school organization. Perish the
thought. But there is the ardent de-
sire TO make them feel that they arc
the important people in the world to-
day and that they will come into posi-
lions of power or will be regarded as
the weaklings, the worthless of the
world, in accordance with the charac- /,
tiers they are forming today. Jazz, |
pranks, fun-thcy are all right in
their places. There is even place
for loyal partisanship. But if every

sorrow burdened the heart--always
her child.
The pessimists predict this country
will go to the dogs; they point scorn-

anger at the young because of their
sometimes too free pleasures; they
draw long faces and bemoan the fact |
