MOVIES
FOR SCHOOLS

Attacking the stores in the vicinity
of the local high schools as "loaflns
places and menaces to the moral vel
fare of the boys and girls who ire
quent them. three high school prlncl-
pals appeared before the Board OF
Education yesterday to protest
against the establishment OF a drug
store near the new Mckinley High
School. The board also accepted the
offer of safety first films, for screen
ing in the schools, by The Washing
ton Times.
Principal Alvin w. Miller, Of Cen.
trail High School, led the attack, sup.
ported by DR.. Elmer S. Newton OF
Western High School, who stated
that, although he has thus far re-
ceived cooperation from the store
keepers" he styled their places OF
business as rendezvous, where some
thing il likely to start at any time.
Frank c. Daniel, of Mckinley High
School, was the other opponent OF
the plan. ,.
Despite the protest OF Henry Gill
gan. a hoard member, who main
tanned that people in the neighbor-
hood had something to say in the
matter, consent to change the coming
law so as to permit the establish
mnet of the business was withheld.
The action of the administrative
officials in permitting w. c: I. y.
members to address the students IN
the primary grades on the temper
ance question was attacked by Gill;
gan, also. and drew from Superin-
tendent Ballou the statement that
they would be Withdrawn II an in
vestigation disclosed they were not
satisfactory"
Several of the members stated they
were opposed to the idea Of allowing
outside speakers in the schools. one
characterized the movement as po'
litical propaganda.
The controversy over the construc-
ton of a swimming pool at Mckinley
High School was settled for the time
being by the appointment OF a. COM
mittee ordered to ask the District
Commissioners to look into the
legality of the project.
The board is opposed to the con-
struction of the pool, on the ground
| that the money to he used was in
tended for school purposes only.
! A request to build new steps at the
Stuart Junior High School, at a cost
of 1881. was approved by the board.

AMERICAN IDEALS

The Fourth of July is 8 day when American ideals should be part of the observance, and if a lot of tom foolery and enjoyment get in the way of contemplating the ideals, avaunt with the tomfoolery.
 The G. A. R. has the right idea. It will hold a little Independence Day meeting at Central park on Monday to take place at 9:S0 a. m. and last half an hour. The veterans of the Civil War take Independence Day seriously, but not more so than the general run of citizenry should take it.
 In these days. when in many na- tions the blind are leading the blind, it is well that leaders and or ganizations with good patriotic eye sight do the leading in this country. Since the war much has occurred on this globe to hinder optimism and submerge content. Americanism that is the real article ought to get back where it started in 1I76.

GOOD READING ON THE FOURTH

The Fourth of July, "the day we celebrate" like no other, Is at hand. To citizens of the American Union the day means more than any other national holiday because it is the anniversary of the nations birth. And good way to celebrate it quiet ly and most effectively is to read the Declaration of Independence.
 The Declaration of Independence, our bill of rights, document that has gone down the years as a model for all free peoples, is contained in all American histories, most alma macs, and in books of reference gen. orally. It is printed in all these books to be read. and good time to polish up ones mind on original American doctrine is to read it on or about the Fourth of July.

 The trouble with Connecticut with respect to advertising Its tourist ad- vantages is that the state is not greatly dependent upon the tourist business 10 get along. The state has a plenitude of industries of more substantial character, and as long as it has these the prevailing feeling will be to let Vermont, New Hamp- shire and Maine concentrate upon the summer dwcllers. Connecticut is losing muck by adopting a lacka- daisical attitude but 1t also has much.

ADVERTISING NEW ENGLAND

Although Governor Trumbull ori-
 ginally favored the idea, nothing was done by the last legislature about making an appropriation to adver-
 tise the advantages of Connecticut, and no attempt is being made to at
 tract tourists to this state. Vermont
 and New Hampshire, however, are
 not so diffident about their attrac-
 tions, and they are telling the world that they are the scenic paradises of
 the cast, have cheap land for sale, and that mountains side cottages
 can be rented for summers s pleasant stay by city-weary folk.
 These two New England states are
 doing their advertising on grand scale, and perhaps it was just as
 well for Connecticut 10 remain silent unless the job could be done with equal effectiveness-or would
 "ferocity" be the right word?
 Connecticut's advertising depends upon private initiative, and is being done fairly well by the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad. The railroad has its rainbow hued posters in every railroad station, it's tourist suggestions are in every time table: and Connecticut receives her due. But the railroad does not favor | Connecticut over any other New England state where it's lines pene-
 trate; Rhode Island and Massachu- | setts are similarly treated. That's | the difference between permitting the railroad 10 do it and doing it under state auspices--the railroad
 plays no fayorltes, while the state
 would favor Connecticut

NOTES SHRINKAGE
 IN TRUCK GARDENS
Davenport Comments on Smaller
 Number This Year

"The decline in truck farming which has affected not only this section of the country but every section, Is going hand in hand with an approaching famine which know the country will suffer if the present attitude toward farming is not changed, Clifton E. Davenport declared today.
 Mir. Davenport has made a study of agriculture and has much ex- perience along this line. He has observed the falling away of the ambition of truck farmers to cul- tivate small pieces of land and is of the opinion that this will bring about a smaller local supply and an increased demand for imported food stuffs
 The unfavorable spring weather will have an adverse effect on produce and it is Mir. Davenports belief that New Britain will not have sweet corn until September There will be little or no corn this year with the result that the price of corn will be too high for poul- trymen, who will have to sell or kill their chickens rather than face the expense of buying the high priced corn, he believes.
 Mir. Davenport recalled the time when acres and acres of land in the outskirts of the city were being taken up with truck gardens. Po- tatoes, corn, beets. carrots, turnips and cabbage were raised by >N,s people during the twilight hours the price of vegetables was .., i comparatively low.
 Year after year there was de- cline in the number of farmers" and in many places where few
 people still had gardens last year there are none this year. MT. Daven- port finds.
 "There are only two explanations" MT. Davenport said: Either tho people are becoming fastidious or 1 they have much more money than they had in previous years"

JUDGE PICKS NEW MARRIAGE LAW

Among the new laws on the Con- necticut statute books which have just gone into effect is one fathered by Judge Epaphroditus Peck of Bristol. a law which forces all per sons desiring to commit matrimony to take at least five days to think 1t over before tying the knot. Thus the sanctity of the marriage relation Is at least emphasized, and young peo- pie are tacitly warned not to be in too great a hurry; that five days of hard thinking may bring a change of view, and if 1t doesn't, then go ahead with the usual blessings, good wishes and throwing.
 The elopers, however. won't worry much about the new law. They can still jump in a Ford and get into some neighboring state where con- ditions are different, where marry ing parsons connive with a lax law to aid Dame Cupid in distress. Such things have happened and will hap pen again.
 But elopers are comparatively few. And there is no guaranty that marriages which started as elope- ments are necessarily bound to be unhappy. One-tenth of the mar riases end in the divorce courts, and of course, not one-tenth of the mar riages are elopements. Getting fur ther down to bedrock. it Is possible to say that large proportion of unhappy marriages started with due consideration and fair contempla- ton; the parties of the first and second parts merely guessed wrong. No law is proof against poor guess work.
 Marriage Is just as happy nova days as it ever was. The main diff ference is that in the ancient days, before divorce and alimony were in- vented or commonly utilized, unhap- py married people made an attempt to live down their misery and made a show of sticking together" while today they call 1t quits through legal aid. Statistics are not at hand, but it is probable that in those hal cyon days tenth of the marriages were less happy than the other nine- tenths-to be as conservative as pos sible in guessing at the past.
 Judge Peck's law makes it diffi- cult to elope to Connecticut, or to elope from one part of the state to the other. But it is small state and here and there some aggressive couple will jump past the state lines and thus beat the law, If, however, other states enact similar laws the eloping situation may come strictly under control. Still, we probably would have the average run of di- vorces to read about.
