NEEDED BOND ISSUES
 FOR THE CITY

IL appears that the last meeting Of the City Meeting Board -- pro- ydcd that body Is abolished, as seems likely - will have the con- sideration of large bond issues be- fore 1t - s500,0O0 for school re- quircmcnts. sl50,oOO for sewer re- quircmcns, and Q like amount for subway work.
 The necessity Of this work being done as soon as possible has been agreed upon by all civic authorities; there is no argument against the plan that has not been heard and answered, Tho schools need to be expanded to meet the pressing needs Of a growing city; the sewer system and the subway system like wise require expansion, The bonds, therefore, are to pay for the con struction of needed city improve ments, and favorable action Is ex- pectel.
 Citizens are of the opinion that the quicker work gets started on these matters the better it will be for tho welfare of the city. The sums total little compared with the needs they will fulhlI.

4 NEW BUILDING FOR
TIE '. M. C. \.

In three years, if present plans mature, the Young Mems Christian Association will break ground for new building in New Britain. IL will be a great day in the history of the local institution, 10 be fol- lowed in due course by a greater day. when the new building Is com pleted and placed in use.
 The present building of the as sociation no doubt was regarded as a first class affair when it was Con- structed. but it gives evidence Of being plenty out of date, The build ing is far inadequate for an active Y. M. c. A. in d city the size and importance Of New Britain.
 Mortimer II. Camp, the new president of the Association, prob ably will continue to be in office when the new building is started and completed. He is an ardent worker and has the welfare of our youth closely at heart. Walter II. Hart, retiring president, who will become chaitlpan Of the building committee, made q splendid record as president of the organization for three years. The Y. NJ. C. A. has before it new era and with these men guiding it's expansion program the future should look particular ly bright.
 There is nothing moro important in our day than the rightful guid- anco of our youth. Due to various causes that more severely counter act good influences than eyer be- fore in human history the proper upbringing of youths is one of the major problems Of the age. The i I. M. C. A. is doing it's duty by the youth of the city and is entitled 10 every conceivable encouragement t0 widen and increase its influence for their welfare,

"TARS" NEW BUILDING HONORS FRATERNITY

The architects drawings Of the new building to be constructed by the Young Mems Total Abstinence and Benevolent society q repro duction of which appeared in the Herald the other day - indicates that the new building will be an ornament to the society and the city.
 The Tabs" as the organization is popuarly referred to- believe in fraternity and the sociability that goes with it. Nothing evidently has been omitted in the plans to make of the building a mecca for good fellowship during the years to come, The building will cost $21o,eo0, and a list Of the activities provided for in the structure amply proves that the organization is getting full value for the money expended,
 The Tabs are composed of hon orable and upright mon who be- licye in affiliating good principles of right living with social needs Their material and spiritual progress compcs admiration in an age when crass materjalsm too often is sup posed 10 be in the saddle,

When vicious ieers' from half Of the chamber mingled with tho applause" of the other half, inter- rupting the proceedings frequently, 1t gives the impression that France is not yet ripe for an internal agree ment upon policies needed to purge the body polite of Its His.
 M, Painleve declared that France is determined to look the facts in the face" That at least is a sign of progress. Evidently there were others who still dislike to be so in- quiSltivr, In due course, however, there will he more agreement upon the essentials of running tho gov. ernmcnt upon reasonable and sane lines When finances begin 10 pinnch many reforms are possible that arc wasted during more prosperous times, At the core the French na- ton Is sound. 1t merely requires time to recover from tho evil effects of promises made by former states mon wlo were long on making promises but incapable of executing them.
 And by the way, that difficulty Is not unique in France alone. Whenever politician anywhere wishes 10 make q good impression he makes cNtrayagant promises, By the time the promises are ripe for performance he is out of office. Poincarc fell because his per formanccs did not synchronize with his promises; yd-Georgo was also a ready promisor without too highly developed q regard for exc cution; the Macdonald government slipped up pretty much for the same reason; the llerriot government also stumbled upon the rocks of making good on previous state mcnts. Now PaineNo has the spot light and plenty of it.
 The statesman who can perform as well as make declarations is q rarity.

SUNDAY SPORTS
 BILL IS SIGNED
Local Option Is Granted Towns
 and Cities

Hartford, April 22.--GOvernor TrumbuIl signed the Sunday sports bill at 4;SO o'clock yesterday after noon. Effective July l, 1t grants lo- cal option to the towns and cities of the state to permit professional base- ball and football games within their confines between 2 and o'clock Sunday afternoons. Amateur sports are allowed on Sunday afternoons under the existing statute.
 Governor Trumbull issued the fol- lowing statement:
 "I have approved substitute for house bill number S14, an act con- corning the playing of baseball or football on Sunday. Considerable pressure has been brought to bear upon me both by the proponents and opponents of this legislation. have given thoughtful consideration to all of the communications addres- sed to me on the subject but have not found in them any reasons for or against the bill which were not stated in the legislative debates or | in the public hearings before the 1 judiciary committee.
 Proposed legislation Of this character has been before several recent sessions of the legislature and the various aspects Of it have become well known 10 the public i It is reasonable to assume that the people were familiar with these ar. guments when they elected the pres. ent membership Of the general as. semhly.
 "The legislature l believe to be truly representative, and the fact that this bill has been adopted 1T both branches Of the general assem- bly, after careful deliberation lead' me to the conclusion that the ma jority of the people of Connecticut want such legislation. I yield tt mo one in my respect for the Sab bath, but regardless Of my persona convictions l consider that the gov
 ernor under the circumstance
 could find no justification for go ing contrary to the popular will 0 the. state"

The British rum syndicate, oper- atel by Sir Brodrrick Hartwell, which had promised and paid 120 per cent dividends - and paid the dividends following six trips of rum ships 10 America - has failed to pay dividends upon the result of the seventh trip, and the American prohibition unit is highly pleased, It appears that the coast patrol has been greatly strengthened by the government and rum running is getting 10 be more hazardous than 1t has been.
 Tho British public on the whole is said 10 lack sympathy with or ganizoI attempts to puncturo the American law, British editors hold ing that British citizens should not attempt thus openly 10 defy the laws Of a friendly nation,

ARCTIC PENETRATION BY AIRpIANF

With the departure Of the Mac Millm expedition into the Arctic regions practical uso will be made of airplanes and radio cOmmunica- ton in the frozen north, It is prob able that the expedition will be constantly in touch with civilization, yet be able to penetrate deeper and with greater effectiveness into the regions hitherto regarded as sealed except for the super efforts by su- pcr-cYpjornrs,
 The design Of the expedition is 10 map out possible land in in" Arctic and 10 add 10 our store of Knowledge of that austcre region. What practical good will result is another matter; but as several gen. tlrmon Of means arc greatly inter estod in furthoriug such cyplora- tions. there is no difficulty about finances.
 There is possibility that air planes and airships #iu make of the North Pole region a travelled air highway between continents. If our sensitive machinery can stand the frigid atmosphere the Arctic air route will be a short cut be- tween continents situated upon op- positc parts of the globe. The Mac Milan expedition will do much 10 demonstrate the availability of air craft in cold regions.
