League of Nations Outlines Health Program of Concerted Effort Against Unknown Illnesses.

Geneva, Fef. 12.-Coordinating the national battles against disease and delivering sledge hammer blows against those maladies which still seem to defy medical skill, will con stitute the essence of the future program of the League of Nations in its public health activities.

It has extended it's sphere of action, fm- proved. completed and defined its technical equipment and has carried out with increasing success it's special task, that of giving effective help to the various national admin istrations in their campaign against epidemics and their attempts to i'm prove public health.
 In the coming year specail atten- ton will be given to instruction In health and social medicine in Europe, America and Japan, to- gether with the development and extension of physical training, with the object of securing the genera adoption of rational methods of physical education.

POLITICAL POWER STUNNED BY MAYOR

Most mayors, governors and even presidents, arc believers in welding all the power that goes with office; they do not forego the use Of all powers granted them under charter or constitution; they usually wish they had more power: rarely do they suggest the currsilmcnt of power
 Comes Mayor paou"ssa with a letter of inquiry addressed to the New Britain representatives and forwards the opinion that the chief executive Of this city should not he given authority to dismiss members of the board of adfustmeht, as is contemplated in the zoning act ready for action hy the Legislature.
 The charter revision governing re- nova(s from the board of adjust ment, if not changed, would give arbitrary power Of removal 10 New Britain mayors. !. would permit politics to enter f justice were waved aside, The mayor evidently does not desire political power Of this kind, He do's not think any other mayor in tho y"ars to come should have such power. and thinks the best time to correct tae error is before the charter amcndment is fastened upon inc community.

COMMERCIAL BI\ItIlN OF NEW HIGHWAY

The proposal to hay" 'h' stat" construot a now trunk lue hisI0"'y between Now Britain and M"rid"n, through Cat Hole pass and the scenic Blue Hills district has gam ed hearing before a committee of the Legislature, and proponents "' the measure are 10 he congratulated upon presenting vha. is believed to have been a convincing array Of facts why the new highway should be constructed
 .Heretofore the al'tntag,s to spleasure riding autoists has been stressed, with consequent ad1aniage to other pleasure riders on the turn pike by decreasing the congestion on that road. The hearing at the state house also brought out important commercial advantages.
 The testimony of E, Allen Moor. president of the Stanley Works was . case in point. Nr, Moore 'declar- cd that the proposed improved road

 TrHAlc between the two cities would he able to avoid the cuINcrt under tho New Haven railroad tracks near the railroad station in Berlin. which is sometimes impassR- bIo for hours after heavy rains,
 The new road also would avoid sralc crossings in Mcriden; also avoiding conseSlcd streets in hoth that city and in New Britain, as well IS avoiding Berlin street in Berlin,
 The advantages of the new route are so numerous that there should bo no delay in building tho new trunk line r WAS pointed out at tho hcaring that New Brtain's in- lustries, which among others favor the construction Of tho new high way pay ten per cent of the corpor- lfion taxes of the entire state. When the Legislature thinks of the cost Of the new road, this fact might be borne in mind.
 Tho cities involved New Britain and Moriien, and the town of Berlin have worked consistently for the establishment of this new highway and success should crown their ot- forts.

POLISH BUDGET
 NOW BALANCED
It Is But ' Per Cent Higher
 Than 1924
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 Warsaw, Feb. 12.-Poland's budg- ct for 1925 is entirely balanced, Premier Grabski told The Associat- cd Press today.
 Tt is only seven per cent higher than that for 1924" he said, 'and, when one takes into consideration the increase in wholesale prices and the rise in the cost of living, the budget actually is not increased over last years.
 Tn 1924 the capital levy brought in 200.000,000 zlotys instead of 300,- 100000, but during the year the na- ton contributed 100,000.0O0 zlotys to the establishment of the National Bank of Poland"
 "Our estimates of receipts from the state monopolies show we ex- pect to collect 25,000,000 zlotys more than last year. This will come from the alcohol monopoly. which did not exist in 1924.
 Indirect taxes in 1924 brought 134 per cent mors than our or iginal estimates. We have put the ratio for 1925 at 100 per cent over the 1924 estimates which, with the income from the issue of coinage, will serve as a reserve in the event the sources of expected income fail"
 The Polish zloty at par is equiv alent to 19.3 cents, and 1t Is very near parity at the present time Cable exchanges in New York yes' terday were quoted at 1925 cents

COLD WEATHER
 CHECKS FLOODS
Conditions at Syracuse Show
 Improvement

Syracuse, N. Y, Feb. 12.--A sharp fall in temperature late last night and early today checked the thaw that had caused one of the worst floods in the history of the city and the waters began to recede. The deluge which yesterday afternoon had risen rapidly until cellars of hundreds of homes in Onondaga valley and the southern part of the city were flooded and many of them isolated reached its highest mark during the evening and n gradual, though not great subsistence began. Scores fled to safety but others re- mained in their flood-surrounded homes. Large areas are still sub merged
 At the height of the flood, bridges over Onondaga Creek in streets well within the city limits were washed by the rushing stream of melted snow and ice, and some were roped off by police.
 William Fahey died in his ma rooned home on Secly avenue, al though attended by a nurse, carried through the water to his residence Tuesday. A boy was i'll with scarlet fever at Nedrow and physicians could not get through to attend him.
 The drop in temperature from 53 above zero in the afternoon to near the freezing mark early today, all though welcomed by flood sufferers as check to further rise of water, caused much discomfort In houses where heating apparatus had been put out of commission.
 While High water extends south ward for miles over the fields of Onondaga valley, the flood, so far as it affects residential property. begins at West Seneca street. Onondaga val Icy. From that point north the tor rent flows unobstructcd, far out of the creek channel, around houses and barns. past garages and sheds. wiping out all trace of lawns and gardens, and spreading farther to the east and west as 1t goes. It extends across Seneca street, from South Salina street to Midland, and northward in its path it sweeps over and through a dozen streets and avenues, marooning hundreds in their homes and driving scores out of them.
 The name Atlantic avenue" Is no Imsnomer, that street being lost in a waste of waters brown and filled with great cakes of ice.

OI R PROBATION OFFICER AND DELINQUENCY

AND DELlNQJENCA F, c, Connolly, probation officer of New Britain, who is regarded as an authority on the causes of youthful delinquency. is convinced that large part of such delinquency is bameable upon parents. He Is be- lieved to have been the first proba- ton officer in the state to have based such a conviction upon careful study of innumerabIe cases that have come under his observation, and his report has been studied to advantage by probation officers in other cities.
 MT. Connolly's belief that failure of parents 10 raise their offspring properly is the cause of most youth full delinquency, is constructive observation that should be of value 10 every parent. Blaming it on the parents" would be a useless proceed ing if the distribution of such blame would not stimulate greater care in the upbringing of children. There are high responsibilities attached to the guidance of children, which are not fulfilled if the father Is merely good provider" and the mother merely looks after the physical needs Of children. A spiritual communion between parents and child, comradc- ship, companionship, a careful scrutiny of tendencies, selection Of playmatos that will uplife rather than degrade, the medication Of good ideas and high ideals, an in- sistcnce upon honesty and probity- all these and much more go to build un character. Mir Connolly has given the impression in his report that parents who neglect to build character in their children, although they may fulfill all material obIiga- tions, are delinquent in the most im- por,ant aspect of child training. l NIr. Connolly, who in his recent report originated inc conception that there are "bad raren's' as well as "bad children" has done oHc"ptlon- ally we'll 10 call attention 10 parents to their obligations and privileges. i No parcnt wants 70 be "had par tnt." and thore is the possibility that some bad parents" would never admit it. nor would they eyor con silcr thcnlseGvos in this category II i bchoo,fs all of them however, to search themselves and tAeir n'- tbods. MT. Connolly has seen too much of cnl.d delinquency and its causcs to have his opinions dismiss cd as not applying personally, Tho tragedy Of raising children is 'Ia' a voU-mcaung parent may bo per- mItting a child to grow into evil WAYS and into an evil life. The par rp.s of no criminal behind bars ever expected such q calamity to happen to their own. l, is always the cnii- 1rro of "tn" other parents who are cxpectcd to go wrong if such thoro arc to bc.
