made idealism practical, and a prac- tical plan ideaistic.
 In the Knowledge that the winner of the great prize has worked for years in the atmosphere of peace-thought, and that his plan was the result of constant study, work and thought along these lines, there is more satis- faction than there would have been had the plan been the result of a chance thought of one who had not spent the best years of his life in de- votion to the study which was direct = ly responsible for his success. A man who has worked so many years for world peace, regardless of his ability or the value of the plan for it which he formulates, is deserving of some reward. World peace will come, and with it world happiness and prosper ity, when every man and woman in the world, leaders and humble citi- zens, work for it, believe in it, and uphold the hands Of the strong men of the world who insist upon it,

RED GROSS ID BUY
 BOY SCOUT DRUMS.
Award Two Instruments to New
 Corps for Troop Achievements

Two street snare drums have been laWarded to the Boy Scout council drum corps of New Britain, by the New Britain Chapter, American Red Cross in recognition of work done by Boy Scout troops, No. ] of Berlin, and No. 19, of St. Joseph's church, during the 1923 Red Cross roll call. These troops obtained more new members than any other troop and thus the presentation.
 ' This action was taken at meeting in the Chamber of Commerce rooms last evening.
 All the members in the last roll call except those which renewed by mail were secured by Boy Scouts and the total number showed an increase from 1,200 of the preceding year to 1850 last year.
 In appreciation of this work the local chapter last evening voted to present the drum to the local coun- Gil.
 It was reported that 7,219 children have enrolled in the Junior Red Cross in this city, who are carrying on an interesting correspondence with chill dren in foreign countries. Miss Grace Stowell, nurse at the Corbin Screw corporation, is conduct ing a course in home hygiene and care of the sick, under the Red Cross.
 | Earl kisselbrack reported for the home service department showing that there were 2l boxes sent out of New Britain to local boys in govern ment hospitals and nine families supplied with dinners.
 Sometime in April, it is expected a representative from the life saving corps from the national headquar- ters, who will give public demon- stration to policemen and firemen in life saving both from drowning and in resuscitation.
 New Britain only has two life sav- ing examiners. They are William l.. Tancred, former assistant physical director at the Y. NJ. C. A., whose home is at 2s4 North Burritt street, but who is not now located in this city, and Victor V. Berner, of Moun- tain View. Those who have secured life saving certificates include Hymie Caslozitz. William Bowling, Edward w. Eiehstaedt, Mildred Fisk, Ger trude Fossett, Richard German, Sally Humason, Althea Martin, Hymie Nair, Miss Parker, Helen Rackliffe, Irene Swift, Catherine Travis Irving II. Parker, William Marsland and Josephine Rathbone.
 II was announced that a special car demonstrating first aid treatment is on the B. and 0. railroad some where in the west and that the Red Cross which is responsible for it, will have it in New Britain in the near future.

AUSTRIAN COUNT SEEKS
 CITIZENSHIP IN VAIN
Former Minister of Affairs in Austro- Hungary is Man Without a
 Country.

Prague, Feb. 5.--Count Berchtold. who was minister for foreign affairs in Austro- Hungary at the outbreak of the great war, now finds himself a man without a country. His citizen- ship is a tangle in international law which has become so complicated that the old statcman apparently must wipe out all his claims and become naturalized in one Of the countries which sprang from the old Austro- Hungarian Empire.
 After the creation Of Czechosloyakia Count Berchtold assumed that he was a citizen Of that country. Like I hundreds Of thousands Of other men who had been associated with coun- tries which had fought the entente powers. he regarded it desirable to become q Czechoslovakian. Passports from that new land were classed with the passports of the neutral powers in Europe. But Count Berchtold appar- ently forgot that for political reasons he had become naturalizcd in Hun gary about 12 years ago. Conse- quentIy the Czechoslovakjan govern mcnt regards him as q Hungarian. and refuses 10 admit his citizenship in the new republic.
 Hungary holds that the count has lost his Hungarian citizenship be- cause he has not made use Of if for ten years. He can make no claim 10 being an Austrian, and the distinc- ton he achieved in European politics before the war does not save him from being an untaggcd nonentity. along with hundreds of thousands Of other refugees whose citizenship was swallowed up in the remaking Of inc map of Europe

l bish left near a furnace will be re- 1 ported to the fire departinent.- Cases
 of need. found by members of any de- 1 partment in their work about the city will be reported to the Charities
 board. Insanitary conditions will be reported to the health department.
 Quite probably all these things have been done in the past, but in an unofficial way. A member of the po- lice force, for instance, may often have reported, in off hours. the facts about some poor family to some mm- Der Of the charity board whom he chanced 10 meet. Both being kind hearted men. both thought the family should be helped. and in this unof- ficial way help was given. An employe of the health department may have met. socially, member of the fire department and informed him of some conditions that were causing a constant menace. He might. perhaps, take steps to see to it that this dan ger was removed, All these instances are of things that probably have hap pened frequently in the past.
 But the point that is important is that now plan has been adopted whereby every two weeks. on Monday morning. the various representatives of the departments will make a busi- ness of meeting and reporting these matters requiring attention to the proper department. It will be one of the duties of each department, and it will be duty which will not be rom sidered of little importance if the practical value of il is emphasized properly Thus the things that may or may not have been done in hap hazard way. will be dohS with sys- tematie thoroughness.
 The Herald would add one sug- Ses ion. previously advanced. and that is that there should be representatives of the police department and schools present it and participants in these meetings. Certainly Chief Hart would approve such plan, and no city em- ployes are in better position to know of conditions about the city than are the police. Each member of the force would be obliged. Of course. 10 make q daily report to the desk of any matter which, in his opinion, should be brought 10 the attention of this board Of city inspectors. These could be collected and presented to such board al each regular meeting. The arrangement might cause some extra work for the department, but it is worth while, So with the school board, Certainly the teachers become aware Of matters which should be called to the attention of tho inspcc- ton board. \ roprcscntatiH" from the schools would complete the cffcc- tiveness of tn" splendidly advanta- geous plan.

THE BOX PRIZE WINNER.

There is always more or less disap. pointmcnt and dissatisfaction among the contestants for great prize when the winner is announced. In the case Of the Box peace prize plan the fact that there was nothing startnngiy new about it, no evidence of remarkable ingenuity. inspired immediate com plaint Many people expected that the plan to win d prize would display a brillianee amounting to genius. II would be something of which they had never heard--of course it would as the great amount Of money to be won would attract the attention Of inc most brilliant minds in tho coun- fry.
 Thosr who expected aHyi hing like this forgot inc fact that the most practical inventions og Inc world have been those which made practical ap- plication Of principles already found 10 possess value. Absolutely no inc Ncntion would b" worth anything 70 the world were practical application not io be made of it.

The failure to under stand this simpl" fact continued through tine ages. Even today in some nations inc practical ,aIuo Of peace over all tho world is moi rn,ty recog- liz"d.. Even in this country therc are some who believe that grcater bless ings than peace might come 10 the world. But it was th" discovery of pcace's practical value which was th. real discovery, anu inc f'ok prize was won by tho man who. in the opinion os the judges, provided the most prac- teal way for making uye. making practical applica'ion ol this compar- a'iyaly n'w thought

HORRIBLE STATISTICS.

It is not a pleasant matter to dwell upon-this number Of deaths from automobile accidents. It would be much moro pleasant and. probably. more entertaining. to mention a few of the interesting matters which come 10 ones attention in a daily porusal Of the news.
 But when the fact stares one in the face that since 1907 there have been 22o6 deaths caused by automobile ac- cidents. there seems to be nothing to do but emphasize this fact. realizing the hopeiessness Of trying to prevent more of them. perhaps, bu' at leas' making an effort to bring the horrible situation Of the cvor increasing dan ger before the people,
 This feeling of helplessntss to make things better is intensified by the fact that men and women and children fail ito take the simplest precautions. even, 10 protect themselves In one matter they show utter disregard Of tho ad- vice given out Of the experience of every driver Of q motor vehicle. And this matter Is the walking by pcdes- trians al night on the dangerous side of tha road.
 There come frequent tales Of driv- CTS who have barely missed running down pedestrians al night walking on the right hand side Of the road, The drivers are terribly concerned. not for thc danger they themselves have been they have had from running down people walking along utterly needless Of tho fact that driver. coming up rom behind them in the dark, blind- cd by the lights Of another approach ing vehicle, or rounding corner. keeping the ear on the right hand sidr Co avoid some other ear that may be coming around that corner in tho op- posite direction. have missed striking pedestrians only by inches. Romon- strating with such pedestrians brings but smile or dcrision. They refuse. even, to understand the honest con. cern Of the driver who feels that. at almost any moment while driving a' night when he is blinded by other lights or his view cut of by a turn in the road. he may kin someone no matter how careful hc is.
 In this one matter at lpast it does seem that pedestrians would protect themselves and thus reduce tho con stantly increasing number Of fatalities caused by automobilists. The motor ists are able to do nothing to help save fife in this way. Ii is entirely mp 10 the pedestrians. Grant hat many drivers are reckless and care less--c1ll them all the names you think ot-but at least don't make the innocent automobile drivr a slayer Of men and women and children. And don't deliberately place yourself in dangerous position when. by merely walking. on thc other side Of the road you will bo aUlo to sec any car that is approaching mar you on your side of lbe highway

MUSIC. AN ANAESTHETIC

The practical value of music has been emphas sized often in these col umes. There is far more to harmony of sound than the purely abstract en- joyment it gives. As there must be some real, substantial reason upon which all worth while movements are based, so, in the case of music and the activities of those interested in it, there is real, practical value in en- brings a more thorough appreciation of it. And so. also, when praise is individuals for aiding in bringing the best musical artists to this city, that praise is due because of the practical benefits accruing to the people of the city, as well as because of the higher standard given the city as place where music is encouraged,
 Not long ago it was noted in the nsws that certain postmaster in the middle west had found that by in sailing instruments that would repro duce music. the office gained in efli-
 ciency especially in the hours when the last part of the work was being done. The strains of gay music seem- ed to liven the workers, willing as hey were to do their best even with out such entertainment, so that great ar efficiency was the result, Every athlete knows that he is able to put greater effort and get better results out or his muscles if a band is play ing somewherc--all except, perhaps, the golfer who is annoyed by any sound that takes his attention from the little while ball. Every baseball pitcher knows tho greater speed he Is able 10 get on the ball when in- spired by the strains Of some exhila- rating march. Moreover those who do creative work of the brain, writers and the like, often find their imagina- tions aided under the influence of music. Themes that come 10 mind us- Lally harmonize with the character Of the music they are listening to. Probably no great epic was ever con- coived while the orchestra was play ing Yes, We Have No Bananas" and probably no one ever thought of the plot Of humorous tale or play while listening to a funeral march.
 But now comes the last word in the practical value Of music A Brooklyn hospital has installed q photograph in it's operating room, on the theory of the physicians that music is an aid to the power Of an anaesthetic if it is not. in itself, an ,anaesthetic. This particular photograph is painted white and looks quite a bit like an ice box--an article Of furniture that used to contain, often, if memory serves liquid that had something the effect of an anacsthctic.
 Highly emotional people know the effect music has upon them--a sooth- ing refrain or martial air That its powers have been recognized in this practical way is but recognition and making use Of knowledge that even [ he unsciuntiiic have possessed.
