the cost of maintenance of the city departments and institutions and therefore should concern themselves with the manner in which affairs are conducted, very frequently content themselves with an annual display of interest and leave the balance of the years work to others.
 Tt is not the hope that the efforts of this publication to illustrate the functions of the various municipal departments will at once result in a gigantic wave of interest on the part of the public. True, such an effect would be most gratifying. but it will not happen. If, however. the articles prove interesting, and even in small way increase the knowl- edge of the readers, their publica- ton can be held worth while. It is acknowledged that many are not only disinclined to become interested in the city government, but feel public affairs are not theirs to be bothered about. Those coming with in the scope of this classification are beyond the reach of the spoken word, the written argument, and all other means of arousing interest"

Prisoner Appeals From
 Bread and Water Thurs.

Harrington, Neb., Nov. 22 (P - November 25 may mean Thanks giving to most people, but John Rex, in county jail here, is afraid it will mean only bread and water for him. He Is the last of the re- cent "diet" cases. in which law breakers were sentenced to inn prisonment with certain periods set aside during which they were fed only bread and water.
 Rex has appealed to Judge Will bur Bryant, who sentenced him be- cause of some trouble over check that Rex had written. Rex has asked the judge that the five day bread and water period, in which Thanksgiving lucklessly falls, be arranged to permit him to at least share in some of the Specials that the other Jail inmates will en- joy. His sentence calls for alter nate five day periods of bread and water and regular fare.

WILL WRITE SERIES
 ON PUBLIC AFFAIRS
Benson Believes Many Are Un- familiar With City Government

The first edition of the Hardware City Magazine under the editorship of Ralph H. Benson, the new secre- tary of the Chamber of Commerce, has just been published, and in the opinion of many is a decided i'm provement in the tone and policy. MT. Benson is a man who is more or less familiar with publicity and his first paper in New Britain is filled with newsy times of interest to the members of the chamber.
 In promising series of articles on the city government, MT. Benson in an editorial states:
 New Britain, in it's attitude to- ward the conduct of public affairs, is probably as interested as the aver age American city. In the opinion of experts, all communities suffer from the ailment of apathy which afflicts great proportion of citizens. In the smaller boroughs and town ships, where the scope of govern ment corresponds in it's smallness to the stability of population, the pro- portion of individual responsibility in public matters has been found to exceed that of the cities, yet condi- tions in the former have been found 10 be capable of improvement. Spas modic flare-ups of a demand for recognition of the people, inspired by situations resulting from the de- yelopment of questions of public policy or contemplated or effected changes In official personnel. are in- ferior in their eventual result, 10 the possession, by a good proportion of the citizenry. of a substantial, well developed familiarity with the details of government. and an ever present interest In the routine as well as the spectacular.
 Statistics do not record the ex- tent to which ignorance of city gov ernment has impaired the growth of the municipality of New Britain. It is self-evident though, that the apathetic characteristics of the great majority of citizens as regards the government offsets by a wide mar gin the interest and concern mani fested by those who never allow an opportunity to pass ungrasped if to seize 1t means to assist in the fur therance of the honorable principle of the greatest good for the greatest number.
 Spend few hours, or a week, sounding the attitude Of the man in the street. Ask him the procedure to be followed in bringing 10 the at- tention of the government body of the city matter in which you are interested. Inquire as to the tax rate and how it Is levied. The re- plies will indicate to fair extent the average knowledge possessed by the public along governmental lines. True. there are many in this city. as in other places, who have interested themselves In public affairs to the extent that they are familiar with much of the routine work of the of- ficials of the municipality, but un- fortunately they are in the minority. Many men who contribute heavily to

New York-Something has zone deeply wrong with the moral fibre of the nation, in the opinion of the Rev. Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick. The American people. he says, hold nearly a third of the wealth of the human race. but there are six times as many murders in New York as in London, we need armored cars to guard the mails and old ideals of self discipline and self-denial are hard to find.
 Bridgeport. Conn. The Anglo Saxons are too conceited, thinks Bishop Hughes of Chicago; they claim most of the credit for the United States being the wealthiest and most powerful nation. Bucharest-Sir Rabindranath Ta- gore thinks the United States is selfish; it's people are too occupied with business and have no time to live. The Regal poet is visiting | Queen Marie's country. Maybe she will offset his opinions when she re- turns home.
 West Point, N. Y.-Uncle Sam seems to know how to teach the young idea the groundwork of other things besides shooting. A new com- pendulum of graduates of the military academy shows BIO civil engineers. 255 lawyers, 2l judges. PAP authors, 23 church men, including a bishop. two ambassadors and various other classifications that rate high in civil life.
 Rome-Fascists must admire West Point. They are urging that Mus solini institute school similar to the American Military Academy in order to develop promising youths into an aristocracy of faith and ability that will guide the ship of state.
 Washington-Old Ironsdes is to
 
 peared in the days of her glory. The original will hang in the White House and copies. ir ten colors, will be sold to help save the ship from the junk pile.

 French Lick, Ind. - Culver is abandoning the instructions of it's boys in aviation. Mothers of the cadets are too timid.
 Buffalo, N. Y.-There's danger in the manual of arms if the gun is loaded. An adult having some mili- tary exercise dropped the gun and was shot dead through an acci- dental discharge.
