said 10 be triumphant, for Spellacy

Had Waterbury not backed up

The change from desperadoes 60
boy bandits has been tough on am
munition manufacturers, however
the new variety seems to prefer
empty guns,
A generation ago, boys read Jesse
James stories for their crime thrills
now they can pick UP atnewspaper
and read OF their own criminal eH'
PLOTS,
At parties there are no longer any
male wallnowers--the idle slip out
and stage a hold-up or two, while
even the best dancer wants one rob
berry night to relieve him from
the monotony OF dancing,
Tho awkwardncss of the situa'
ton Is that so many Of them are on
the strt cts that they are liable to
rob each other For protection, We
suggest that in the future they
wear some such sign of their trade
as e. large placard reading, Il am
n boy bandit"
At that, you can't blame the boys.
They couldn't allow last years crop
OF bohhed- haired bandits to put the
girls ahead Of them. If the women
could share mems right TO vote, the
boys were going to cut in on the
glris' right TO rob.

VICTOR BELDEN TEACHES
rs TO SMILE

Victor Belden Of East Berlin has
a crutch for 4 constant companion,
but he Is happy; always has been
happy, and probably always will be
happy.
Since childhood he has supported
a widowed mother, and how he has
done 1t despite his physical infrm-
ity, is a story that Is particularly
appropriate with the approach of
Christmas, when optimism is at
high tide and all the Christian
world Is gleeful.
You read the story In yesterdays
Berlin news of the Herald; how the
cripple has been peddling Heralds
since childhood; how he has been
conscientious in giving service to
his customers; how once, when the
papers were delayed In arriving, he
called at each customer to assure
him his paper would be delivered
as soon as II came.
Victor Bclden has been deliver
ing Horalds in Berlin and vicinity
for 20 years; perhaps he has Worn
out the end Of many crutch while
attending to business. And every
day as he called with his bundle OF
Heralds there has been a smile on
his face and a happy twinkle in
his eye. Rain or snow or biting
cold weather have never erased his
look OF good will and happiness.
And when rcverses came the
smi'a could not be downcd. Once.
when he broke A leg things went
hard, but when he was propped up
in bed and the pain had been al
loyiatcd the smile was there still;
there are reports it didn't leave
him throughout The entire ordeal
Of setting he limb.
Victor Bcldcn is a personality
and yields a lesson to us all. Those
Of us who have responsibilities
sometimes are inclined to feel their
weight and he inclined 10 take
them too seriously, and as we feel
this way We conclude smiling and
good nature is out OF place.
But the smile Of good nature Is
/ never ont of place, as Victor Bel
den effectively teaches us. The vi
/ cissitudes of life may sometimes be
we'll nigh unbearable, but a smile
/ will tighten them to the point OF
evaporation.
Get on the smile wagon with
Bcldcn; transportation is free.

AIRPLiNE PROPAGANDA
by THE YARD

There Is talk about airplanes to
the loft, right. in front and in tho
rear. One is reminded Of the lines
In Tcnnyson's poem by merely sub
siituting airplanes for guns.
One cannot pick up n newspaper
nowadays without meeting with
tales OF airpane discussion. One
would think that the entire coun.
try had gone airplane mad, yet tho
reverse very likely Ia the case. In
our peregrinations about the city
we have found very little discuss
sion Of the topic that absorbs so
much printers Ink.
The probability is that the air
plane manufacturers are greatly
pleased at so much free publicity
on the value OF airpanes In peace
and war. There must be much capt.
tai tied up In the business, and we
have noted with some interest that
a few airplane boosters who have
been most loud OF voice on the sub
ject themselves have been credited
with possessing stock In one or tho
other of the airplane companies.
In fact, there will be many Of the
opinion that an airplane concern
could afford 70 present stock to any
public Official willing TO open his
mouth occasionally and be quoted
at length upon the wonderful eff
f1cacy Of airplanes for all manner
Of employment. OF course, we don't
know whether this is done, but we
are saying 1t would be good form
of promotional activity. and per-
fectly legitimate and perhaps effec-
tive.
II Nooto lllOIi'S " plOluCN air
planes and the makers have not
been known to give any away at
rock bottom prices. One need only
10 make an attempt TO buy one and
the price OF the highest priced au-
tomobile Immediately sinks into the
piker class. SO far it appears that
the government has been the best
customer OF airplanc makers, and
Mr. Ford comes next.
SO far as the general run and
file of citizens are concerned, they
will wait until the prices are re-
1uccd TO the flivver altitude. That
being the case We don't expect TO
see the sky black with airplanes---
with collisions every ten minutcs-
until the year 1865.

more than 40 years, died. leaving

"l'ncie Dillard, don't you ever think
about getting married again."
Yes, by granny I do" came the
reply without a moments hesita-
