 With all these precautions taken it would appear unlikely that an other mad dog scare could develop, yet hero Is where the mystery Of the situation protrudes itself, Last Friday dog, presumably mad, bit seven other dogs in Southington, and the last scen Of the animal 1t was heading toward Milldale; this was also the last heard Of it. Po- lieo have been attempting 10 catch up with the fast.hying canine, and it Is to be hoped they succeeded.
 Tho situation calls for extreme care. southington is not far from New Britain and nearby towns and it Is imperative that tho mad dog scare be kept where it originated, and that the alarmed citizens of Southlngton bo assisted In every possible manner 10 prevent further mad dog scares. Owners ot dogs in thls and surrounding cities might do well 10 watch the situation care fully.

Paper by Curran at
 Steel Treaters' Meeting

The midwinter convention of the American Society for Steel Treating, which opens on January 21 at Buff falo, Is of particular interest to lo- cal steel men.

LIVING WITHIN MEANS

II is just as reasonable to expect . city to live within it's means as 1t is logical 10 expect an individual to do so. Information that the gov ernment of New Britain in all like lihood will pass through the fiscal year without any of tho city de- partments breaking inc bounds of their appropriations therefore is good news. It means that the spirit of economy works. instead o' merely furnishing a topic for con Versation.
 It is particularly gratifying 10 discover that the school dcpart- ment Is going through the year on an even keel. Due to conditions re- Eardlng which everyone is familiar IL has been difficult for this de- partment to achieve this distinction during somo years or Inc recent past. The health department like wise is 10 be congratulated on do- ing so well financially; it learned B severe lesson during an epidemic that still ranklos in the memory. The charities department, which once also mot with financial diIli- culties due 10 tho necessity of car ing for Spanish immigrants, has been on a firm footing ever since.
 or course, one could mention the other departments nIso, but the three mentioned arc thos. which have given trouble in the past not because Of how they were conduct ed. but due 10 sudden emergencies not os their making, T. is agreeable to find that no cmrrgt ncy faces the city this year and that every de- partmcnt of the city co}rrumcni is in satisfactory condition.

STATES FILM LAW VICTORY

With the United States Supreme eourt refusing 10 review the fnd- ing of the state federal authorities regarding the constitutionality of Connecticuts film tax law, 1t Is in- teresting 10 note how Governor Trumbull and State Tax Comms- Rloner Blodgett will feel about 1t.
 It will be remembered that the governor promised his aid in re- pealing the film tax law at the next session of the Legislature: and the state tax commissioner declared he did not approve of the law but that 1t was his duty 10 enforce 1t. At that time there was a general pub lie clamor and 1t was certain the law was as unpopular as poison ivy; there likewise was a belief widely held that the courts would upset 1t. Scarcely anyone suspected 1t could live through the first court of the land.
 Now we know what we didn't know at the time; the law is con- stitutional and the state assembly which put it on the books can be said 10 have won a complete vic- tory.
 The governor and the tax com missioner, like all other citizens in and out of office, have the privi- lege of changing their minds. May be they may not regard the law with disdain now that it has been given judicial approval. At any rate. there is some money coming into the state eXchequer as q result of the law, and as special taxes have been the long suit of the past Leg isluturc and may be favored by the next Legislature, it is at least bare ly possible that the powers that be, seeing the money flowing into the treasury from the law, may not he inclined 10 forego the opportunity to continue the harvest,

DOING THE CHsnLEsToS

iN' ll'ht' " hlp-NAlFN Nllp WV carod he found nothing in tho Bible derogatory 10 modern danc- ing and who permitted several cx- pcrts to perform the Charleston in his mission church, doubtless will find some conservative minded folk who disagree with him; but at any rate he did service to his con grcga,ion by showing how difficult 1t has become 10 be q genuine cakc-cating Charleston dancer. There was time when it was said to he much easier to be a person Of the world than 10 follow the straight and narrow path in all things; and in general, this re- mains true. But there are many, no doubt, who are willing 10 con- clude that 1t is no harder 10 he good than 10 learn the 200 varieties of Charleston.
 Perhaps the public has been looking for something hard to con quer; perhaps It's experience with cross word puzzles has convinced it that there is an inherent good in being able to solve a stiff prob lem. This Is said to be an age of distinctly moronistic tendencies: but the alleged popularity Of the Charleston would belle the as- sumption. For it is difficult to sec how a dyed in -the-wool moron can learn such an intricate concoction of steps especially if the dancer varieties Of this ballroom flower. It is to the knowledge of nearly everyone that some brainy indi- NIhuulS dl lEuSJ splIlt ol lIlpGN who regard themselves as brainy have failed 10 master the Charleston and consistently fall back upon the more simple fox trot.
 And now, due to the almost uni versal influence of Henry Ford and the country tiddlers he has stimu- lated and encouraged, there seems 10 be a tendency In some parts of the country to return to the erst- while square dances of generations ago, This is no good news for those who qualify as morons, as the square dances have to be learned and if is no chiId's play 10 remem- bcr all the steps. The lanciers and the quadrille went out of fashion because of this reason; they were great fun, no doubt, but the rising generation did not like to learn so much when it went a-dancing. II used to he said that many things were taught at college that were no whit moro intricate than the galaxy of square dances that for mcr generations used 10 ponder over. In those days it actually was necessary for everyone to take a long and cXacting course at dancing academy" in order 10 qualify as q terpsichorcan possi- biity.
 As Mir. Ford has cloqucnuy pro claimed. the square dances make for tho interchange of partners; and Mr. Ford, being an authority on making automobiles, holds that this is one Of the necessities of the age. Dancing with the same part ncr throughout a dance. and some- fines more than one or two dances is an evil, according 10 Mir. Ford. The square dances break up the couples and enforce a general all around melee of swinging arms, tripping feet and general laughter This is where country Adding has its uses, he says: the music may not be fancy. but the result among the dancers is a valuable improve ment. Of course, when the dance is over, the original partners can all return home in the original flivvcrs.
