NEW BRITAIN NEEDS COMMITTEE PLACES.


 COMMITTEE PLACES.
 That New Britain and it's interests ought to be well represented on the rosters of important legislative com- mittees is a point scarcely open 10 debate. The states fifth city will be ,.onresanted by several experienced men in the capitol and they Will lpow how to represent the needs of New Britain as well as assisting III tbe government of the state. It Is logica, to suppose their value on lin- nortant committees will be thor- onghlv appreciated by the legislative organization.
 It would indeed be surprising if Senator Edward Hall were not re- turned to the important appropri- ations committee in the state sen- ate. In fact he ought to be made chairman of the committee. He was not on the committee two years ago. in conformity with his wishes; hut he had been on 1t previously and his thorough knowledge of financial matters ought not be overlooked when the organization of the new Legislature is perfected. The belief that he will not only be put back to work on the knotty problems or finance, but will be the chairman, IS widespread among those owning to q willingness to speculate upon the makeup of the committees. A bet ter man for the position could not be found. That is not only the opinion in New Britain, but else where where such an opinion will count for something.
 There Is no tangible reason forth coming why Fred Rackliffe should not be returned to the finance com mittee, of which he was member last session. That he is likely to be q member of the same committee this year seems entirely likely.
 Last session New Britain had no
 I member of the road, rivers and bridges committee, although John Kimmel of Plainville was member and has it to his credit that he tried to further the needs of this city in an excellent manner. Mir. Kimmel is now first selectman in Plainville and is not in the Legislature. Grape line speculation has it that William Judd Is being mentioned as pos sible member of the roads. rivers and bridges committee: and a simi- lar report has it that Robert White of Plainville by. superhuman effort may be made a member of the com mittee. It is not too much to believe that both or either of them will be on the committee.
 It is important to New Britain that the roads. rivers and bridges committee have representation from this city or from nearby. The Cat Hole road project, in which New Britain, Berlin, Kensington and the immediate environs generally are in- terested, is not thought to be pro- gressing fast enough. Quicker action in all probability could be attained by local or nearby representation upon the committee.
 Last, but not least,' New Britain will have one of its favorite sons, Judge Benjamin Aling, in the Capi- tol building-not as majority leader, as last year, but as attorney general. He may have less to do this year, if conferring New Britainites do not take up too much of his time. Anyhow, as the boys on the band wagon say, he is "still one of us."

Now that the work of codifying of the city ordinances has been com- pleted by Mayors Secretary R, !. Bardeck, care should be exercised by those responsible for recording the laws of the municipality to pre- vent recurrence of the condition that prevailed for several years when the ordinance books were found to be incomplete and there fore unreliable. It is simple mat ter to make q record In book form of all new ordinances as they are adopted and approved and someone should be charged with the duty.
 In the past, city officials and others having occasion to consult the ordinances found the book minus the new laws. Ordinances which had been repealed or amended con- tinued to exist in their original form and confusion and misunderstanding frequently resulted. As the years passed, 1t became known to those close 10 tho situation that 1t was useless to refer to the ordinances and time after time the cry was set up for remedy. None came until

the ordinance committee, at the out set of Mayor Weld's administration arranged, with the approval of the mayor and council. to have the book revamped from cover to cover. Shortly, new books will be printed, containing every ordinance in ef- feet to date with the obsolete pro- visions stricken out and the amend ments properly arranged.
 From then on, all new ordinances and amendments should be placed in their proper order so that the book may be authentic and com- plete. No law book that is not properly compiled has any value, and the same is true of the city or dnances. as they are the law of the municipality and as such are ire quenuy consulted.
 The true meaning of the frater- nalism was torcibly brought out this week when the Y. M. T. A. & E. Society. Catholic organization. joined with the Hebrew Free Loan Assoclallon Tn staging bazaar 10 raise funds for the work of the lat tor. The Free Loan association ad- Vances funds to needy Hebrews without interest charges and the money is repaid when the recipient is in better financial condition, and in this way hundreds have been spared the stigma of pauperizing themselves. Realizing the merit of the work undertaken by their Jew ish friends, the fair committee of the 'Tabs" offered its services, and its members were placed in posts of importance, one of which was the treasurer's position. Members of the Tabs worked with members ot the Hebrew association as 'barkers" in the booths and the sum total of the two organizations work was a successful fair.

Not only is the conviction re- versed. but the eNtorted confess sions no doubt stimulated less of a reliance upon legitimate evidence. with the result that now some Of this may be harder to secure in case of new trial. Thus the extortion system of the gendarmerie works just opposite from the way 1t is in- tended.

The Mississippi supreme court, sitting en banc, reversed a murder conviction because se- cured pricipally on two confess sions which not only were not clearly voluntary, but indicated that they were extorted by of- ficials at the jail where the Negro was confined and by a severe beating of him by an- other Negro prisoner, who ac- companied it with suggestions that he would better confess. Who, or what written authority. in this time and country, war rants one prisoner even mildly to lay his violent hands upon another prisoner. who Is in custody of majestic law: and what sheriff is so lost to a con- ception ofs his duty and regard for the rights of prisoners, as to permit It? It Is an outrage, and 1t behooves the press to treat it as such. and of the citizens whose jail it is and whose off cers permit it. to correct the evil, oppressive practice. The supreme court was eminently right.

Shampooing.

There are dozens OF shampoos you
can make at home; you have only to
choose which kind you think will suit
your scalp best.
One sort. especially good for red or
for blond hair, is made by shaving up
CASTLE soap--the real CASTLE, not cheap
so-called CASTLE soaps-and putting a
heaping tablespoonful of the shavings
into a pint of hot water. Bring this
TO a boil and keep in large mouthed
bottle. Wet your hair with hot water,
pour a little Of this. about third of it,
on the scalp and rub well with the
hands The fingers will rub up thick
lather.
With fresh water wet the hair again
and pour on another third OF the bot
tie and rub to a lather again. Do this
third time, finishing up the bottle.
Then rinse about four or FIVE times in
hot water and a final rinse with cold.
You can make the same sort Of
! shampoo for dark hair by using tar
| soap, but as this is usually yely moist,
| you will have to guess at Il tablespoon
| full and simply chop it in tiny bits to
make il melt easily. Or, if you have a
| large bottle or earthen jar, melt the
whole cake in a quart or SO OF water.
| If this is too thick a jelly, add more
water

Shopping for Shoe Stitches.

Have you ever gone shopping for
repairs on your shoes? Often you
have to pay as much as three or four
dollars to have a pair of shoes re-
paired. Were you to spend that
amount of money on a new article
you'd think twice. but because its
going toward repairs you accept it
as inevitable.
A good shopper is just as careful
about buying repairs for her shoes
as she is about buying the shoes
themselves. If she's going to use a
pair of shoes for god, and she wants
them re-soled she has full sole
put on. If she's just going to use
them for everyday wear, half sole
costs less and satifies her need. She
doesn't wait. either. until a sole is
worn completely through before she
takes her relics to the shoemaker.
Now if you were going to have
soles put on your shoes you might
still have other choices to make

The Tricolor of the Netherlands.

Some say that the orange was
changed to red because the red is
more definite color and less liable to
fade 1t is possible that orange and
red became confused in reproductions
OF flags and coats Of arms, as orange
is seldom used in heraldry. 1t is
certain that the change to red took
place after 1880 and before 1868, and
during the same period the independ-
ence OF the United Netherlands was
| formally acknowledged.
The blue OF the flag Is q dark, rich
color. The Council and Art Commits
sion Of the City Of New York, in de
| Gliding upon the Colors for a municipal
| flag in 1915, determined that at the
! time New Amsterdam was founded
| in 1926. the only fixed blue dye in
use was pure indigo blue. They
therefore decided that the blue stripe
| on the flag which Henry Hudson
| brought TO America must have been
Of that shade.
The Netherlands Republic became a
kingdom in 1906, and has undergone
several changes in government, but
the red. white and blue is retained
as the national flag. The Queen OF
the Netherlands is a descendant OF
| the Prince of Orange and Nassau, who
gave the country its early flag, and
the orange and blue are still on the
royal standard as we'll az the lion
Of Nassau. The principal nag day
at the Netherlands legation, at l47O
Euclid street, is the Queens birth

Tradition connects special colors
with certain countries. and orange
naturally comes to mind in connec,
ton with Hollands flag, because
orange instead of red was the color
of one of the stripes. and "Oran5e
bowen" was the cry at the time of
the coming OF the Dutch to America.
In answer to the suggestion that
the flag OF the Netherlands originated
at the time of the union of the seven
northern provinces in 1882, a Dutch
author, writing in 1881, says: In
1852 the Netherlands possessed their
own flag, and this was the livery
Of William the Silent, orange. white
and blue, flag borne by all the ships
Of the young republic in its warfare
against Spain"
This William. who was Prince of
Orange and Nassau, took his title
Of Prince Of Orange from the small
principally of Orange now belonging
to France. He was born in 1888. He
carried his colors valiantly through
several wars for independence, and
became the first stakeholder of the
Republic of the United Provinces.
The orange stripe on the flag was
retained for more than so years after
his death.
