AN "AD' SHOWING
 TREND OF TIMES

Many readers probably noticed an advertisement in the classified sec tions of the Herald the other day having 10 do with the sale of some household furniture due to removal into @ small apartment.
 Small apartments do not require as much furniture to fill as large one or as single house. And in this lies one of the little modern developments of which the furni- ture trade has taken due cogniz- ance. Talk to any furniture man and he will tell you in a spirit of more or less confidence that small apartments are a distinct evil. And his premise will be the same as that of the textile manufacturer, who can give a multitude of reasons why short frocks and little raiment generally on the female form di- vine comprise one of the outstand- ing evils of the day.
 Furniture manufacturers are in favor of old-time spacious and com | modious houses, where there is plenty of room for 8 large collec- ton of furniture Textile manu- lecturers would like to revise wom- ems styles so that there would be plenty of textiles needed in gar- ments. But conditions over which they have no control decide the controversy.
 We are inclined to agree with both the furniture and the textile makers. There is a point In the construction of small apartments where they no longer are such but ought to have the name of apart mentette.
 A generation ago the average middle class home consisted of at least seven rooms; the more we'll 10 do had more. During the last decade the average apartment has dwindled down 10 around five rooms; but not only has the number of rooms dwinded, but their size also. In recent years some apart monts have been constructed witt four-room suites, and also some with three rooms-in all eases in cluding the bath as room; for tunately, clothes closets are no yet regarded as rooms.
 When comparative cost is figured one finds that these dlminutiv' modern living quarters cost a much rent as an entire house o commodious dimensions cost gen eration ago.
 If this is modern progress give u something less progressive and no so modern,

CAJIIAUX'S RETURN
 TO POWER

Joseph CailIauX, who less than six months ago was granted amnesty bv the French Chamber of Depu- ties. with restoration of full poiti- cal rights four years short of the time fixed by the French senate in it's verdict of 1918, has accepted the post of minister Of finance in the new cabinet of Paul Painleve,
 Five years ago CaiIiaux was re- gardcd as "poiiticalIy dead" Today he has returned to power at the ton of one of the most important ministries of the government. He is regarded as ono Of the most astute financial exports in France.
 CailIauxs offence during the war was not one Of treason, as some thoughtless critics are wont to claim. It is true that he was ar rested on charges of high treason and a court-mariial ordered, hut the case never came to trial. A irla' was held before the French senate on a like charge, when he was speedily acquitted, but later was given a short sentence 10 prison and exilcd, with loss of political right' for impeding the prosecution of tho war.
 The trouble with caiuauX Wal that he differed with the majority at time when public opinion wa at high tension and brookcl no dis agreement.

INVESTMENT co. STOCK
 INVOLVED IN DISPUTE
Judge Haines in Superior Court Hears Suit of Kolodzicj
 Against GancarL.

Four hundred and eighty-tWo shares of common stock of the Pol ish Investment Co. of this city re- pose in the company's vaults with out definite owner, but Judge Frand D. Haines of the superior court heard arguments in the mat ter yesterday and will decide on the proper possession Of them. Felix Kelodziej of this city claims owner ship in his suit against John Gam carz, alleging that he obtained a judgment for $4,143.27 against Gan carz and that Gancarz as former owner of the stock, should transfer t to him. The investment company contends that Gancarz transferred the shares to Peter Twardus, but Koiodziej alleges this transfer to have been illegal.
 It appeared from the testimony, given now in Polish and now In English, that on May 6, 1924, Bol- odziej obtained a judgment against Gancarz in the superior court and that to satisfy it, Constable Fred Wrinkle sought to attach 4S2 shares belonging to Gancarz. Stanley Cor dek' secretary of the company, re- fused to deliver the stock on the ground that on May 5, the day be- for the judgment was obtained, the stock was transferred to Twardus Twardus claimed the transfer was made on March fl, 1922, two years before tn judgment, and that later Mrs, Gancarz became possessor Of the stock. He admitted he did moi know whether the stock was his and Judge Haines, also bewildered reserved decision.
 Donald Gaffney represented kol' cdziej, while NJ. A. Sexton appeared for the Polish Investment Co. anc Cornelius J. Danaher for Gsncarz The last did not appear in court.

CITY MEETING BOARD
FACES ITS END

The suggestion of Senator Edward P. Hall to strike out Section of the report on the citys charter revision committee, which would result in the elimination of the City Meeting Board, is entitled to careful con- sideration before definite action is taken. The senator Is to be com- mended for not yet introducing prepared resolution to discontinue the board, preferring to withhold it while awaiting popular reaction up- on the proposal.
 The City Meeting Board has 1s6 members, IA of whom are elected, the remainder being members of the Common Council, the Mayor, the board of finance and taxation. It is & remnant of the old town meet ing and the experience has been that it Is next to impossible to obtain good attendance. The corpora ton counsel has given it as his opinion that a meeting at which only one or two members of the board are present would constitute quorum. instead of 50 percent of the membership, as obtains in other elected bodies. This would give the powers of the entire board to a relatively few men; but an even more important point is that as the City Meeting Board passes upon the city,s bond issues it might be Ques- tened by banks attorneys whether bonds passed upon by less than half the membership of the board are fully legal. Under such conditions there is always the possibility that city bonds may be thrown out Of the bond market.
 Senator Hall, who is chairman of
 
 the board of finance and taxation of the city of New Britain, is right in considering the situation one pro- vocative of danger to the city. The senator thinks it best in the inter est of the city that the board be wiped out, as it Is not functionlng properly and in all probability can not be made to do so, Citizens Wht are members of the board invariably find themselves too busy to attenc the meetings.
 Whether the City Meeting Boart sheuld be abolished will rest pri marily upon the views Of thos citizens who make their opinion te give all interested citizens a ator has acted carefully, wishin to give all interested citizens aa' opportunity to express their views It is no secret AO"H'~A' ~ large proportion having intelligen views upon the subject apparent favor a discontinuance of tn board.

t+'A|FA 1$A hANN " AtNSAJ
 Washington, April IT. Nobody would have considered the north pole worth quarreling over few years ago. Today the question, "To whom shall the pole beleng?" is in- ternationally so delicate that several big governments hate to have it dis cussed, lest trouble be bred.
 The idea is that the pole is the shortest way of getting from almost anywhere to almost anywhere else.
 In the days when it could be visit cd only by dog-power, on diet of tallow candles, at terrific cost of hardship and the expenditure Of months of appalling hard work, the routes shortness was infinitely more than offset by it's difficulties.
 Now, however, tlat the traveller can shut himself inside a nice warm cabin and fly across it at 60 to 100 miles an hour, shortness- counts.
 So 10 whom does the north pole belong? Still more to the point, if there's any land in the poles vicint- ty, which would make good way station on trip across, to whom does that land belong?
 Answer: It belongs 10 whomso- ever finds 1t first and stakes it out. Hence the MacMillan expedition which the United States ngvy is fitting out. Hence also the Norwe- gian expedition under Amundsen which already is on it's way. Eng land, Japan and Russia are reported making similar preparations.
 Navy officers like to tell about the MaoMillan plans up to the point where the visitor begins 10 ask about annexation of the pole, Then "Shush on that talk" they cry. "Iti the very thing we don't want to re- mind the others of
 The proposed way station at tho pole may develop into mighty in teresting place, Traveling, say iron Chicago to Calcutta by the Polal route, tourists naturally will want tt stop off for a look at the earthi hub. just as trains pause for awhile at Niagara to let the passengers SCI the falls. This raises the question Who will get the coffee and hot do; concession? And If the United States annexes the pole, will 1t bi dry?

1t unusually warm, unusually cold or just middling? Inasmuch as it's past, it seems as If we ought to know. Nevertheless, experts disagree.
 Herbert Janvrin Browne, unofTi- cial but widely known weather fore caster, said he could make an accur- ate prediction for at least whole season. The government weather department said he couldn't. "All right" rejoined Browne six months ago. "Ill make forecast for the winter of 1924-25 and leave it to the thermometer 10 show whether I'm right of wrong. It will be excep- tlonally cold" triumphs Browne. 'It was exceptionally mild" insists the weather department The secret is this: Browne took his temperatures from the vicinity of the North Cape The weather. department relied on readings from the ncighborhood O !

Quenty happen that parents arc surprised to discover that their chill lren are suffering from same al- mcnt they did not suspect, On the score that an ounce of prevention is worth q pound of cure, the plan of health supervision appears 10 be regarded as a worthy example of municipal guardianship of its young.
 And now we are to- have d su- poryisor of nutrition, the Red Cross footing the bill. It Is rather aston ishing that in country which grows more food products thaR any other nation on the globe where there is more food grown than is required, and where the problem of agriculture has beeA 10 find mar kots, and in which efforts have been made 10 get people to consume more grains, fruit and what not, that there should be cases of malnuri- ton. Yet such appears to be the case and the Red Cross regards conditions in New Britain sufficient ly serious to warrant the placing of a nutrition expert here in an effort 10 improve conditions.
 Determining whether or not a child is underweight sometimes be- comes an intricate undertaking, and all physicians do not appear to be in agreement upon the methods em- ployed. Some races are more stock fly and heavily built than others and their children usually are heavier. Some races and some fam fly characteristics go in for more diminutive offspring so that what might be considered a normal child of one race or family probably would be underweight in the case of another race or family tree.
 It is like claiming that a baby should weigh so much at a certain age, and if it doesn't there is some thing wrong. It would seem that g baby weighing five pounds wher born has a disadvantage compared with the baby weighing eigh' pounds at birth; yet every expert enced physician can recount in stances where the baby of lessel weight was the healthier through
 out his early years; and it can bt 1 shown that plenty of heavy habiei have died while their less heay! "brethren in arms" have live healthy and happy lives.
 On the whole, however, the law of averages ought 10 he applicable A nutrition expert should be O value in applying it. Parents some
