WISE ELDERLY WOMEN

Now when member Of Inc sex one should like to call 'fair" were not the fair sex such an awfully ovcrworkcd expression. cracks good ons about the present day girl and the girl of eighty odd years being alike except fer inc fact that girls of that day took their evening spin at inc spinning wheel" she has won laurels quite ample. it would seem. That comparison is a gem.
 But it develops that there are otDcr noteworthy things about the perpctra- tor of that remark. For one thing she went west from Pennsylvania in 1S42 in. a covered wagon. or course our girls. too. know all about Inc Covered Wagon" because they have seen the picture in the movies.
 But that is not all. mol nearly all. This fair little one who went west in the covered wagon in ls42. dropped into q barber shop in Los Angeles re- gently and had her hair bobbed. It's something for woman to have her hair bobbcd just after celebrating her tooth birthday. as she did. but it is rather more or an achievement 10 have any hair 10 bob at thnt age.
 There Is significant side to this sort of thfre. involving the breaking of two traditions and commonly ac- c.t,ted th.oriss. Always has il been believed that women were not in- clincd to speak well uf their own sex. and r has besn said often that the old arc quite likely 10 criticize the young. Some eyidences of these char actcristics are seen still. of eourse. but never havc there been sO many cases reported where women of advanced years have stuck up" for the bobbed hair. modern girl. as recently. Thus ffiere are being noted occasions Of praise by older women for members CT their sex and occasions of praise of fine young sci by those who have long since passrd from it

YOUR OWN HOME

For a long time the Herald has been trying to present reasons for building homes in this city. 1t has stated continually that in it's opinion building here is a good investment. This statement has been made many times in the past year.
 It is because the advice was here given a long time ago, that it becomes proper today to mention the advertise mont appearing in the Herald of yes- terday along the same lines. Frequent ly a publication elaborate upon the suggestions made by its advertisers after the advertisers have made such suggestions. The habit has been crti- cized. But when thoso whose business 1t is to build homes seizes upon an idea emphasized by a newspaper and emphasizes it by advertising, the pub lica,ion may. with propriety call at- tention to such advertisement.
 The advertisement referred 10 be- gins by stating that contractors and business experts claim that there Is little Likelihood Of reduction in the price of building materials and con- struction. The natural end to this line of argument is that it is we'll 10 build now. This has been our position for over year. IL is our position today.
 And the advertisement ends New Britain Needs More Homes" No one win dispute this statement. We would carry it further and declare it to be our firm conviction that the most op- timistic New Britainite does not realize the possibilities Of this com munity. The growth of 10000 popuia- ton in the four years just past barely indicates what wil come. it is be- iieved, in the next decade.
 It is solely because or the spectacu- lar emphasis now laid upon the op- portunity that lies here, by those who advertised on full page yesterday, that the mention is made Of this mat ter today.

purposes. What payer or taxes would refuse to say yes nnIess he felt as some evidently did, that il would not he wise to bind himself to the Mellon plan in the light Of their belief thai another plan and one bringing great CT relief would be presented.
 The most vital business matter which interests every man is the matter Of taxes. The vote on this question would have be,n infinitely larger had the question been Do you favor d tax reduction plau' for every man, every interest, would have voted "yes' in order to impress. if possible, the legislators Of the country with the importance of tue ma,fA. The vote would have been fairer one if the question had been pulate enough so that the people whose votes were sought could have had d choice Of what sort Of play they preferred. Do you favor the Mellon plan. the Gar ner plan, the plan as agreed to by the republican leaders under Longworth, CT some other plan, or do you favor no taN-reduetion plan al all?" This would have brought enlightening re- suits, but such question could not have been put al the time the Dgest's poll was taken. for the Mellon plan was then the matter before the people.
 Such a poll is never conclusive evi- dencc under the most fair conditions possible. The poll here referred to can not. in any sense, be taken as an in- dication of the feeling regarding tax reduction as the tax reduction pro- posals are quite different today, and the situation quite different. from that existing when this question was pro- pounded.

LOW IDEALS"

If too great importance were to be attached to the words, il would be dis eOuraging indeed for those having charge Of the department of news paper which alone expressed its ideals namely the editorial department. to hear d minister of the gospel attach to his mention Of the daily newspa- per" the phrase with all its low sug- gestions. low ideals that are expressed in every form" Such characterization Of the daily newspaper was made in this city Sunday by a clergyman ad- dressing over three hundred of the men of this city.
 The ideals" of q newspaper are shown in it's editorial columns and nowhere else. The habit of allowing editorial comment to get into news stories, published because of the recognized demand by the patrons of newspaper, is one drowned down upon by every newspaper manage ment. most of which have posted in the reporters room the Newspaper Creed" Of the late President Harding. which begins with the commands: "Remembcr there are two sides 10 every story. Get hoth."
 It is possible that the clergyman, in speaking Of the How ideals" of the daily newspaper believes that by re- porting a speech of some person whose ideals are not high. that newspaper makes such persons ideals it's own. Such is not the case. It is possible that failure 10 understand the theory upon which Q newspaper is run, name ly to get all possible facts in a matter mentioned in the news columns. and 10 express in its editorial columns opinions and suggestions that will tend to help. not iniure, is' not thoroughly understood. Nevertheless such is the policy of the daily newspaper" If any clergyman were to be accountable to others for any failure to get the facts accurately. as a newspaper re- porter is. or as those having charge of the editorial columns are to ascertain the facts before commenting upon a
 
 matter, he would be apt to adhere more closely 10 anther admonition Of the newspaper creed Of the late Pres ident Harding, which is: De Decent; lle Pair; Be Generous"
