OTHER DIsrALcATIONs

Treasurer Gilpstriek's dedication i' the talk of tine staie--but il is only one had apple in the barrel of criminal rubbish that disfgures Uncle sam's back yard.
 Dishonesty in the United States costs the nation ss.soo, ooo, ,ooo s year, Enough to pay the annual expenses Of three governments; enough to thor oughly educate every child in the country.
 Gilpa,rc's financial pranks will cost some Nutmeggers pretty penny. But they are not alone as victims in the aagitious game Of bilking and milking tho public.
 William Bryon Forbush recently published a book; it's title is Be Square," It Is filled with dishonesty statistics.
 Forbush shows that stock frauds, land frauds and confidence games cost us, each year. sc.ooo, ,oOo. 900. burglary and theft, s525.ooo. 900. embczzlement and defaications 125.ooo, 900. graft and footing of public domain s2,00o,- GOO, ,ooo, fraudulent bankruptcy and credit swindles s1Oo, ,0oo, bad debts owing merchants s150,o0O,Oo0. forgery and worthless checks s125,ooo.oOo, piracy and seaport robbery s75,ooo,- Ooo-a total of s3,S00,ooo, o,ooo.
 But that isn't all. Police, courts, jails, prisons and corrective institu- tions cost us s5,ooo, 100000 year. Grand total, $500, 1000.
 And this statistical compiler goes further. He shows that dishonesty is increasing.
 Insurance companies before the war estimated there were three burgiaries to one fire; today there are seven.
 Automobile thefts compared with total valuation have increased over five. times what the ratio was ten years ago.
 Embezzlements cost surety com panies six times as much as they did a decade ago; burglaries 12 times as much.
 A monster dedication like that of Gilpatric galvanizes public attention. But fraud in lesser amounts--some- times larger--is being practiced con- stantIy.

PLENTY OF GRASS

Another distinguishing feature of New Britain is that there are large s,zed lawns surrounding most of the city's homes, be they "sngles,"
 duplex" or apartment dwellings.
 Indeed, a house of any type In the
 residence districts without considera- 'ble grass around all sides of it IS not l in demand as desirable dwelling
 place. People won't live in it unless there is no other place to go and If l forced to move into it through stress of circumstances will quit it at the first opportunity
 Spacious lawns in New Britain not only extend in front of houses, but also on each side. Houses here are not built together closely, as unfortunate lv has been the custom in some of our large cities, before the time when good living conditions were more ap- preciated. And in addition to the "wide open spaces" in front and on both sides, the back yards in majority or New Britain homes are things Won- derful to behold. Some of them are nearly as big as parks, to exaggerate the situation just a trifle. At least some are nearly as large as the well known triangle in the center Of the city, giving Johnny and Jimmy plenty of room to romp and play in.
 It is good thing that New Britain homes as a rule were constructed with plenty of room between, else there would have been insufficient width for the construction of the driveways for automobiles which grace every property nowadays. We do not know what they are doing in such citles where several decades ago builders got the notion to save land and con- structed houses with only about SIX feet of space between them. We imagine that tHe
 property owners are loud and vigor- ous in such cities. At the time such houses were built the general use ot automobiles and the need for driVe- ways alongside of houses was not an- ticipated.
 New Britain's expansive back yards came in handy as sites for the family garages. There is room on virtuliy all of them for garages, and when the motor housing warrens are construct ed there is still plenty of room in the family back yard for the kiddies to play In.
 May the day never come when less lawn is deemed desirable In tnls ei'S'

BGaKEs DOWN ON RuHR

Evacuation of the Ruhr having been agreed upon at the London con ference it now turns out that there is lack of agreement as to how long the evacuation should take. An ordinary thinker would imaging that the way to evacuate would be to do 1t ~ith speed and dispatch; but diplomats politicians and statemen arc not or dinary thinkers. They require time to think and are fond Of delays and ob- structions before it's time to act. And when they finally act the tendency IS to make the action take as long as possible.

A TRIBUTE TO NEW BRITAIN
 AND THE NEW NORMAL SCHOOL

(Contributed.) Two hundred years ago Indians Trailed along this thoroughfare And ofttimes lurked behind tall trees. To aim their arrows at the foe. Who dared to venture near. Before this town was known And Berlin still was young, The people travelled through wilder
 ness To worship in the ancient church In Pennington. Five decades passed, New Britain
 came to view The early settlers built their homes Along this old highway And builded better than they knew. New Britain stands for progress, And fame, both far and near, ExtoI with pride. her great 1ndustrles And household goods of cheer. But higher than arts, and crafts and
 trade
 And higher yet than fame, The torch of learning sends It's g'eam Afar OCT hill and plain. And now today this noble structure
 stands Equipped with everything that Modern art demands. Surpassed by none in this broad Iand' Within these halls as time speeds on. Teachers will come and go And learn to plant the seeds of knowl-
 edge In youthful minds 10 grow. Who other. than the teacher Can guide cbildhood's mind alright? None better than the teachers tired
 and true So now the state gives her best gift
 to you.

TELLING IT TO 'EM

Tt Is time for change and
 quick one when bank examiners
 regard themselves as agents for
 the suppression of the facts. We
 never had confidence 10 spare in
 them and the Putnam experience
 has removed much of that. We
 believe this Is also the feeling of
 the publie."-Bristol Press.
 Absolutely right! That's hitting the nail squarely on the head, and it Is to be hoped that the state Republican machine which has a degree of con- trol over the state bank examiners sits up and takes notice of what the Bristol upholder Of the Republican party thinks about 1t.
 State bank examiners personally may not be at fault; they are in the nature of employees who obey the orders of the higher ups. The latter are composed of the machine rulers of the state who hoped against hope that the Putnam mess might be kept under cover as much as possible, pos- sibly fearing the effects of the financial debacle might cast reflection upon the party in power; and anyway. 1924 was considered no ideal year for too much publicity about thing involving the state treasurer.
 The Bristol Press has spoken right from the Adams apple and 1t is to be hoped other staunch Republican organs do likewise.

Household Hints.
 By Allen & James.
 Much effort can be saved in mop ping floors by tying several mops, with handles removed, at various points on the creeping baby.
 Serviceable hot dish pads for the dining table can be made by sewing little trimming of bright colored gingham around the edges of stale hot cakes.
 An excellent hanging basket for the sun room or parlor can be made by attaching three strands of wire to a brightly ename!ed old derby hat.
 An efficient teether for the baby can be made by inserting eorks in a six-inch section of old garden hose. Our beloved says one reason why there is more "necking" nowadays is because bobbed hair has abolished the hat pin.

Kind To Corn Growers.

The weather man has been kind to
corn growers this fall. He has kept
the temperature up above normal
and closed up the clouds. The
result is that the abnormally warm
weather in October evaporated the
surplus moisture from the corn, and
as there was no rain to offset the
effective work of bright autumn
sun, the corn crop has thrived and
the pessimists are dismayed because
their predictions did not come true.
Well can you remember hearing a
month or so ago that the corn crop
was dismal failure, because it was
too full of moisture, lacked this,
that and the other thing, and that
the frost was going to get it in
October sure.
Up to early November no killing
frosts had been reported in the corn
states of Iowa, Illinois, Nebraska
Kansas, Missouri, Indiana or Ohio,
and experts estimated November
that eighty percent of the crop in
the United States was safe.
Due to the favorable weather, il
is now believed that the total value
of the corn crop will reach $3,00O,-
100000, which is $3O0,O00,000 more
than the September Is estimate. An
increase Of 50,0O0,000 bushels is al.
so seen as the result of the favorable
weather.
All of which goes to prove that
there is no use crying over spilled
milk until it has actually been
! spilled. Crops are failures now
and then, but a kindly providence
generally intervenes at the right
time and overcomes adverse condi-
tons that nature has imposed.

The Common Cold.

1t is the testimony of physicians
that no disease causes as much
disability and affects such large
proportions of the people as the
common cold.
The average person still regards
a draft as dangerous and sure-fire
producer Of colds; exposure and
changeable weather as certain to be
forerunners of colds, and bad air as
the advance agent of this greatly
feared ailment.
Medical science has discovered,
however, that these are only pre-
disnosing agents that lower the in
dividual's vitality and enable the cold
germs to obtain a foOthold.
That the common cold is a germ
disease has been determined beyond
all shadow of a doubt and those
who wish to avoid catching cold
can remain out of its clutches by
keeping fit physically.
Correct living habits, such as
plenty of fresh air, nourishing food,
some exercise and happy, whole
some outlook on life will be produc-
tive of the vigor and vitality that il
needed to hold the cold germs in
check, though they may be present
The common cold, which may be
productive of more serious ailments
is not to be sneered at and the best
way to escape its consequences is t.
be ready to meet it on equal term.
and put it to rout.

Shortage of CIoverseed.

Wisconsin faces the greatest short
age of cloverseed in its history and
the farmers salvation is to grow
alfalfa, according to a statement by
the Blue Valley Creamery Institute.
The statement is based on govern
ment figures just made public which
show this years production to be the
lowest on record.
Production in 1923 was poor, the
total in the state dropping from
$4,000 bushels in 1922 to 100000
bushels This year the production
is only 81 600 bushels or 81 per cent
of last year.
In its statement on the eloverseed
shortage the Institute says:
1.-The crop report just issued shows
that the total production of clover
seed in the United States this year is
estimated at $4,000 bushels as
compared with 100000 last year
and a five-year average of 100000
bushels. Last year approximately
24,000,000 pounds of cloverseed
were imported to make up the
deficiency in America but Europe
has a shortage this year also and
probably will have little cloverseed
for the United States.
RED cloverseed prices already
are high and are likely to so higher
Fortunately, both alfalfa and sweet
clover have produced larger crops
than usual this year, alfalfa being
one-third larger so farmers of the
nation are urged to seed with alfalfa.
1t will be more economical than to
practice thin seeding which is so
frequently done when cloverseed is
scarce as now"
Fat people may fib about their
weight. but scales never do.
