BIG DAY IN LOCAL
 BASEBALL,

It Is big day in amateur base ball circles in New Britain today, when the lads of 16 and under sponsored by the, American Legion post play for the championship of New England In Providence, and the boys of the Washington club, winners of the New Britain Boys Baseball league have an outing in New York under the auspices of the Rotary club, patrons of the league.
 The fact that the American Le- zion team has won the champion ship of the state after some gruel- ling battles makes their tussle in Providence today particularly en- crossing. The Central Falls team of Rhode Island, after winning the championship of Little Rhody, will have to meet the New Britain team 10 decide the American Legion su- premacy of New England. It is go- ing to be very lively affair, weather permitting. and those who have watched the local team per form are filled with confidence.
 The Washington team, also com posed Of boys. will have an educa- tional trip to New York, and will combine fun with it at the same time. The trip to the Bronx Zoo is particularly worth while, while in the afternoon the youths will be given an opportunity to see the Giants and Brooklyn clash in a big league contest.
 That true sportsmanship is de- yeloped among the boys on these teams is indicated from the fact that two of the Washington team also are members of the American Legion team, and naturally will miss the trip to New York, yet they did not complain and no one would have known of their disap- pointment had 1t not been acci- discovered. Fred Radcliffe, who has agreed to take the youths 10 New York on another trip 10 make up for the one missed, is playing Q pretty good daddy to the ads, and is an indication of ,the 'pirit behind these sportsmsnlike

4 Referendum on a Memorial

A Referendum on Memorial
 Editor of the New Britain Herald: l Dear Sir:
 Since the publication. in the Her
 aid, last Saturday, of full plans for the proposed new monument nu-
 merous persons have come to me with the request that I write a letter of protest and that I circu- 1 late petitions to prevent if possible 1 the contemplated action of the 1 committee now in charge of the soldiers monument.
 ! Since that time I have spent
 many hours conversing with per- sons in different walks of life, | about this very thing. The consensus of opinion is against the decision of the con- mittee. and that the paying public should be consulted, by a referen- dunn.
 A remark quite common is, "It makes no difference how many peo- pie want the present form, the committee is determined to have it's ONu VIII III llle matter.
 It seems to nearly all that ad- vertising New Britain is a con- mendable thing to do but senti- ment seems to be against any pseudo patriotism erecting on the blood and ashes of our dead l1e- roes, an illuminated pile of mason ry, in competition with the lighted tower of the Travellers in Hartford. It is felt that any such advertising scheme should be financed by pri- vate capital.
 Nearly all agree that the parti- cular setting Of the present Court of Honor is more appropriate as an expression of the grief of the city, in its sheltered environment - a sacred shrine to which na- ture lends an enchanting touch.>
 No one seems willing to oblite- rate the existing Sacred Way" to wear our grief upon our sleeves. They seem unwilling to expose it to the terrible ravages of the ele- ments, and glare of a noon-day "A. enable neighboring towns to point out New Britain from distance.
 In view of the foregoing, many are wondering if. after the com- mittee has had it's way, the public may not take popular referen- dunn with a view to maintaining the present Court of Honor" that means so much, and is so dear to us all.
 The feeling Is that we should know the prices for both styles of memorial ,and that it Is better to pay little more for something we want than pay s165,o00 for something else.
 Citizen Of New Britain.
 Ed. Note: The writer of the above communicated has one good idea at leaS, that being a referen- dunn on the monument The general public which is paying for the memorial, whatever form it takes, should certainly inform itself thor oughly on the matter and then vote intelligently should there be referendum or approach represent atives in the Council with it's pleas should there not. But We wish 10 stress the idea of voting intelligent ly and not forming an opinion without considering every phase of the problem. The more intelligent public interest taken in the memo- rial between this time and the time one is erected, the more pleased We shall all be with the result. It will not be surprising, if the pub- ilc goes into the matter as thor oughly as the committee has, if the committees plans are approved of.

New York City Is still earning the leather medal as the city of high civic expenditures, the city budget for 1927 to rise only s3S,- 100000, so that the cost of city government for the year will be approximately half a billion dol lars. It is to be hoped the metro politan cliff dwellers feel they are getting value received. Those on the outside have their doubts.

FEWER MEN THAN WOMEN
 IN NEW ENGLAND

Of course, we have known 1t all along; everybody has known it- that there are fewer men than women in New England. But now we have the statistics right from Washington, a few years after the counting of noses took place-yes, quite few years.
 This Washingtonian study of the census figures" leads to the in- evitable conclusion that other parts of the country have drawn away some of our more adventurous males, while the women as rule do not care to wander too far away from home.
 The figures tells us there are 9S.5 males to every 100 females in New England. In other parts of the coun- try, combined as whole. it ap- pears, there are 1o4.5 males to every 100 females.
 One might be justified from this in giving the Greeley advice to young women-paraphras it to read. "Go West, young lady" But few of us will insist upon it, as most of us like to have them stay where their presence is so much appre- ciated.
 The s-statisticians have also had time to discover other percent ages regarding New England's population, to wit: The foreign-born in this tier of states is 25.6 per cent of the total, compared with 14.3 per cent for the whole country and 22.7 per cent for the next nearest area, the Middle Atlantic states. The proportion of those born of foreign parents is 26.1 per cent. as against 16.6 per cent for the nation and 24.9 per cent for the Middle At lantic states.
 All of which is not surprising and not at all alarming. Our foreign born population and their children are doing remarkably we'll in New England and the next generation of them will go down in the statistics as completely Americanized native born from native-born parents. Most of us won't be living at that time but we can rest assured that the future of the country will be we'll taken care of.
 One more feature of the statistics is notable, that concerning illiteracy. These show the percentage for New England as lower than the na- tional average. The New England figure Is 4.9 per cent compared with a national average of 6 per cent. The illiteracy percentage for the native whites in New England is only or per cent, as against II per cent among the foreign born whites, indicating that New Eng lands school system has been bring ing forth good fruits for many years; and the children of the for eign born are receiving just as thorough a free education as the | children of the natives-one of the | advantages of living in this great i country.

STRETCHING TIP

If the experts continue experi- menting with the problem long enough they may still find it pos sible to obtain rubber without buy ing it from the British and the Dutch. The guayule shrub, which grows wild in Mexico and Texas, is now said to contain the clements from which rubber Is made. Such a development would provide a huge new industry for Mexico, Texas and Southern California.
