that was Easter Sunday in New York. Fifth avenues fashion parade, an annual event, suffered accordingly
 A few, whose optimism would not be dauntcd, sauntered forth in bril- liant headpieces and other what-nots of feminine apparel, while now and then a silk topper atop a gallant es- cort could he glimpsed through the misty air. But that case and grace Of manner supposed 10 accompany those who join in this annual prom enado noticeably was lacking. Rather they kept one eye upon tho ever changing skies and the other upon the nearest taxicab. The crowds. that on sunny Eastcrs crowd the top decks of Fifth avenue buses. stuck to their apartments and those who did parade had few to watch them.
 For the most part, however, mad. ame's new Easter bonnet got little farther than the front door. Many, perhaps. weren't even taken off the closet shelf. or if they were it vas only 10 be gaZed upon fondly. then wrapped mp in tissue paper again as the rain drops spattered against the window panos

MAN, TOTALLY BLIND,
 NOW IS ABLE TO SEE
Long Island City Hospital Surgeons Amazed at Recovery of Lost
 Powers,

\. Y. April 2i.-Nictor Atwell. a thirty -three-ycar old draftsman. was registered at the Long Island College hospital more than six weeks ago as totally blind" Yesterday, as the re- suit Of a special operation and weeks of medication, Atweil was able to look out of his hospital window and dimly discern passersby on the street.
 Doctors at the hospital expressed smazement at Atwell's recovery of sight. Poisons in his system. the, ssi1. had infected and apparently de- stroyed the optic nerve. They advised an operation on the lone chance that the infection might be kept from other parts of the head.
 Following the operation, the pa tfent's eyes were given an antiseptic treatment, and after three weeks the doctors held out hope for partial sight Last week Atwell observed shadowy forms moving about his hospital room and knew that his sight had in part returned. He is now able to see near hy objects fairly well. And Dr. George Boehm, whose patient Atwell is. said his charge might be able Co read newspapers by the middle of May.
 Physicians at the hospital declared Atweil's recovery to be the first case of sight restoration from total blind ness within their experience.

WILLIAM E. DELANEY

Of some men it is said that they remain steadfast in their friendships in fair weather or foul. Such man was William F. Delaney, whose death occurred yesterday. Loyalty to friends with him was religion and his loyal ty did not waver with the expedien- cies of the moment.
 From its earliest days New Britain has been prolific mother of men who rise by their own efforts. It can truly be said that whatever advancement Mir. Delaney gained was due to his personal efforts. Born without the proyerbial silver spoon, he decided early in his youth 10 go out and get one of his own. By industry and per- severance he succeeded in gaining an education in law and by turning that education 10 good advantage he rose to high place in his profession.
 Standing before the bar of justice pleading for his client, Mir. Delaney was aggressive and tireless. He had contempt for petty legal points, ai- ways proceeding along the lines that justice to humanity was the aim of court proceedings. It was a delight 10 observe his bold conduct. His fayorite weapon was the broadsword: he held tho rapier in mild contempt
 Few men in New Britain have been so keenly interested in the moral and physical welfare of the city's youth as Mir. Delaney was. He contributed liberally toward the success of high school track athletics by his advice and encouragement and the eonstrnc- ton Of an athletic field at Willow Brook park was the continuation of one of his dreams for the promotion of outdoor sports.
 Tn politics Mir. Delaney was an as. tute leader The democratic party. in is infancy, looked to him for guid- ance and this he gave without stunt He was not SO intensely partisan that he could not SC the good in the other fellow but he was completely sold on the principles of the democratic party and his determination to win was commensurate with his convictions on this point He could he gracious in victory and In defeat his head was "bloody but unbowed."
 Mir. Delaney was in demand as an after dinner speaker. being eloquent, witty, forceful and interesting.
 As postmaster Mir Delaney did his best, and that best is reflected in an . improved morale among inc working forces at inc federal building and in the business like methods he inaugur- 1 sted when he assumed office.
 New Britain can ill afford to lose such men as William r. Delaney.

character, the American habit Of thought and action.
 So as the strength of the country, inc state, rests upon the strength Of the people who make up its citizen ship. so the strength of the press Is seriously affected by the individual publication the intimate instructor. the accurate reflector of the people-the men and women members of this as- sociation.
 It will be d pleasure indeed to feel that the state editorial association is meeting in this city. From those meet ings there comes always an atmos- phere of sound reliance upon the first principles of life from which, in the demand for something new. too many are drifting.

100000 TAKE PART
 IN EASTERN REVIEW
Great ThrOns at Atlantic City,.
 Storm AnnOys New Workers

Atlantic City, N. j., April 2l.--rn- daunted by overcast skies, crowd estimated at well over 200.000 ber- sons thronged the boardwalk Sunday for Atlantic City's annual Easter fashion parade. A shower early in the morning gave rise 10 gloomy forbodings on the part of visitors, but the sun managed 10 break through the cloud banks before 10 o'clock when the rush to the famous wooden way started.
 The .outpouring Of fashion proved conclusively that the long skirt has not lost any of its popularity, while the skirt that trailed to the ground was not as much in evidence, the full length garment reaching 10 inc shse tops appeared 10 be the rcign- ing favorite.
 Threats of rain probably accounted for the absence of the usual dazzling display Of millinery. Small basket shaped hats and cloth creations with little or no trimming predominated. The popularity of sheer hosiery Of natural blends was strikingly dcmon- strated.

BE ON THE LEVEL WITH
 MOTHER, EX.CROOK SAYS
Jimmy the Trusty" Advises Boys to Stick to the Path of
 Honesty

James J. Curran, or Jimmy the
 Trusty," spoke to about 300 members i of the New Britain Boys club Satur-
 day night and warned them against
 bad companions, staying out nights, and gambling. He declared that such practices soon lead to crime and that crime leads to prison.
 The quarters of the club were packed with youngsters. when Jimmy" was introduced by Dwight Skinner, director of the organization. MT. Skinner described Jimmy" as a man who has been in many prisons. The director told a little of the ex- convict's reputation in New York. and ended by declaring that ''any man who at any time at any place becomes trusty is a real man."
 Jimmy" spoke about mothers. If you're on the level with mother, you'll never go wrong," he declared. T know you don't like preaching. so I'm not going to preach but just tell the facts" He then enumerated his various steps toward crime and told something of his punishment in re- formatories.
 Mr. Curran argued that shooting craps is one of the first steps towards serious offenses and warned the lads against being dishonest with their friends. Little was said about life in jails but he drew a vivid picture of the death house at Sing Sing prison. He told of himself being in solitary confinement on the night a murderer was to be executed. "All was still, except for the murmnr of the voices of the other prisoners in the death house saying prayers for the soul Of the condemned man. The said.
 "Jimmy" told the boys about his own life before becoming a criminal, and then ended by repeating an original poem, entitled: "1f Everyone Was Only on the Square"
 After speaking to the boys Mir. Skinner asked Jimmy" 10 carry message for him to the members Of the kiwanis club. which he agreed to do and will address them Wednesday at the Hotel Burritt al noon.

THE JOKE OF THE YEAR

At last we know Why the Cour-
 ant?" Its reason for being is plain.
 Born in solemnity, nurtured in pro-
 fundity, aged in complacency it now
 bursts forth as the humorist Of the day. Like Max Beerbohm's Happy
 Hypocrite" considerably it masks the
 full glory of it's humor for moment
 dallying with the great joke it has in
 store for the people. IL chooses Easter Morn for the editorial which is to ] bring hilarity to the little world which
 reads il, and playing wnsomely with 1 such pleasant little pastimes as calling the Heralfs attitude regarding Mayor
 Paonessa and Judge filling "cowardly
 and faint hearted" and characteriz-
 ing this newspaper as 'an integral part Of the democratic machine" How, we wonder at this point, could an integral part of a machine ex- pect to remain in that important posi-
 ton were it 10 play a cowardly part
 before an important election? Of course it is but a tiny little bit of humor to say that the Heralds "lec- lures" to the republicans were deiv- cred in the interests Of aly party. But as The Courant construes any attitude
 other than violently partisan one. as "cowardly." so it can not conceive of sincere adverse criticism Of ma chine rule carried 10 excess.
 Slightly more provoking, but yet not the one great joke, is the courant's reference to former Mayor Quigley and the Herald's dispatches from Washington, concerning a prominent republican"
 "' '' but most observers agree" quoth the Hartford sage, that the offensive activities of the presumptu- ous and defeated Quiglcy contributed as much as anything to the popular Judge filings defeat"
 Well do We remember on that fate 1 ful day when Judge Alling was per susded 10 come to the aid of his party, the enthusiastic smile and honest joy Of Mir. Quigley as he hastened to the Herald Office with . ether prominent republicans and, an-  nouncing that Judge Alling would ran, cried Now I'm going out and work for Ben" The courant must have been reading and believing it's own news columns 10 get such an. absurd idea of the effect Of former Mayor Quigley's work. And by what peculiar process Of reasoning or interpretation does our neighbor get the idea they have discussed editonally Hartford politics, unless, indeed, it considers discussing the New Britain republi- can machine as touching upon matters which are distinctly IIartford's and not New Britsin's affairs?
 But the great joke! Gather round; hear ye all. Read and learn, you who know the Hartford Courant. Perhaps you will not believe your eyes. but 'tis true-'tis true tls,t on Easter Sunday morning, under the title Praise When Mcrited," the newspaper too often in this comment, pictured itself as virtuously impartial, gener- ously judicial, and, glowing with pride In itself, tossed back it's brave locks thrust its hand into it's frock coat and cried out "'The Courant is ready to praise anything that is right"
 The mountains rocked.
