If you are getting on" a bit in age.

tired and don't want to show it, if you
have been i'll and want to look well
again. change the way you do Your
hair so it comes as far around your
face as you can bring 1t. This is a
trick. and good one to learn.
For instance. II you let your hair

make a face thin from illness or hol-

younger because you cover up fore

SCHOOL CHILDREN NEED
 PROTECTION

It was rot surprising to find that the police were asked to close sev- eral streets near the Elihu Burritt school to traffic during certain hours of the day, this to protect the lives and limbs of children.
 It is the duty of the city to offer such protection in bountiful meas ure. Whether the best way is to close streets along which fast-hying automobiles are likely to endanger the lives of children, or by posting traffic policemen at such points for the benefit of school children is a detail that the city must work out carefully.
 There are signs near some of the schools warning autoists to drive carefully and be on the lookout for school children. Unfortunately, too many autoists are blind to such signs.
 The Parent-Teacher associations of all the schools will do themselves and the city a distinct service by insisting that the city give the finest kind of service in protecting the In any dispute about this subject, this newspaper is and will always be unalteraby on the side of the par ents and the school children.

MORE ROOM, PLEASE.

And now comes request from Principal Louis P. Slade of the high school that new building be erected for the accommodation Of his rapidly growing family of pupils. At first 1t was assumed that an ad- dition to the senior high school would meet the requirements; but after a little thought the suggestion has been made that a separate new high school building be constructed in the North End.
 There scarcely seems any other step to take than increasing the facilities of the high school or con- structing another building in view of the increased demands being made upon the city for high school education. In an earlier day there were much fewer demands made upon the high school facilities, even relatively; but in recent decades the advantages of high school educa- ton have been boosted to such an extent that every year increasingly large numbers of pupils are being( drawn to them. The condition is quite the same as that obtaining in the collegiate life of the country there are more students than the buildings can accommodate. The colleges have begun exercising greater care in the selection of pupils, so that many are being de- nied the opportunities desired at the foremost institutions of learning. Such a selective process, however, is not desirable in connection with high schools; the city ought to be gratified to learn that so many ad- ditional young people desire to be accommodated. The next step, of course, is for the city to furnish the accommodations.
 This will cost money. Perhaps the city by this time has become accustomed to spending money for new school buildings, and 1t doesn't hurt as much as it once did. If we are as proud of our schools as we say we are, we will need to make them large enough and have enough of them to provide accommodations to all our pupils.

SNOW BALLS

The snow ball season has arrived in all it's glory-but there is entirely too much glory to suit the victims of the accurately flung balls. Com plaints are made every year about boys who use the snow for practice as baseball pitchers, and one is forced to wonder at times why the police do not cooperate with the worthy complainants. A number of unsigned communications about the subject have already arrived at the Herald office, so it is to be assumed the snow bah artists" have been entirely too busy 10 suit the more staid citizenry. The fathers Of the snowhallers should take a hand and convince the lads that nobody likes to dodge their well-placed missiles. Boys will be boys, no doubt; but snow in the city is sufficient of nuisance without having it empha- sized by q wallop on the unsuspact- ing cranium.

suspect on their lists as 8 marked man, it is to be hoped that through the cooperation of the various other police departments of the state the mystery of these hold-ups will soon be solved.
 The small change that the robber has obtained through. these nefari- ous exploits will be all out of pro- portion to the sentence he will get if caught and convicted. This fel- low, at such time, will set very poor example to the weakminded who see an opportunity for easy money in going into the "business" in which a gun and an automobile are the chief tools of trade. It is the duty of the authorities to illus trate forcefully that such things do not pay in Connecticut.
