We are wiling to recipro- cate and tender congratulations to he league for i's ability to sec that it has been well treated in the news columns. AS an organ Of public in- formation. this newspaper has re- flected. as accurately as it was humanly possible. all activities of the league, with no 'coloring" what ever in the news reports
 Whether one agrees with every thing the league has attempted to perform is an individual matter. The prime function of a newspaper worthy the name being>'o chronicle what happens, it is clear that this should be done as fully as the con- aitions warrant. The activities of the league have never been suppressedi II. officers seem to be fully aware ot this. Whether this entities the phrase "splendid loyal support Is debatable; except if one Is to con- clude that a full report Of what IS going on can be classified as sup port
 The league again got a. full dose Of publicity in yesterdays paper. IL was printed because Of it's value as news. Citizens generally were inter- csted In 1t as yielding a closeup view of what this reform organlza- ton is doing or is trying to do.

That remark the "spok made about Hoover the other day, which was to the ef- feet that f Kellogg was given the bounce IS secretary Of state Hoover wouldn't get the job anyhow, was just another Of those little uu- expected slips that make the Spokesman" and the entire spokesman" system look ridicu- lous.
 or course, it was necessary to make an "eyplanation' 70 the as- semblsd newspaper men later, said story running that no derogation Of Hooyer's ability was intended. As many .eople think Hoover would be first class grand old party president tial timber in case President Cool idge did not care to run for q third term, 1t was nothing less than ab- solutely necessary that the erstWhile gratuitous reflection against the commerce secretary be recalled. T. is now at least admitted. by the "spokesman' for the White House. that Hoover has been 100 per cent efficient on his job.

In addition, this old gen tleman with wiry legs and astonish- ing endurance hung uH.' as the sports writers say. new worlds record.
 Youth will have its fling, so the saving goes: but where Is youth when the marathon race is run? This old fellow has been running in 1t for years; and when he didn't win it he was near the top of the list of runners. Nobody else has won it so offcn; none other near his age las even competed,

SHEAS AND HIS NOTES

U'hc public has never warmed up 10 Walter Shean to any extent. there were no waves 0, sympathy throughout the state when the ac- complice of Gerald Chapman got off with a sentence Of one to five years while his friend was executed. When the Springfield man reached Wethersield his hard labor con- sisted Of clerical work; many have been Of the opinion he was entitled 10 wog', of a more tiring nature. Every Fr g was done, apparently. to make it as easy as possible for this Shcan.
 Just as water reaches its level Shean has done his share about reaching for that to which he is en- titled. Not satisfied with the soft life that came to him while under the care of the state, this scion of a prominent Springfield family had to go the whole hog by sending
 notes 10 friends through a guard. according 10 the reports emanatine
 from Wethersfield. Of course, the
 guard is just as much to blame as
 Shean; but Shean was not q whit backward in taking advantage of the guards weakness. For all the public knows, shoan might have been attempting to interest friends in getting him away from the states care.
 It might be added that incar- ceration in prison is no more cffec- tive than the guards permit. Stories from various prisons have been cur rent that for a consideration guards sometimes are hired 10 deliver notes 10 people outside the prison, just in
 the way Shean is charged with hav- ing done. The result frequently finds is way in the public prints when there are spectacular getaways, mo- body being aware of how such 9 thing could happen,
 It behooves prison authorities to he mighty particular about the honesty Of the men employed as guards; this Of course. applies 10 all ! prisons, not only at Wethersfield. II
 is satisfactory to note that the par ticular guard who slipped at 1 Wethorsfiold IS awaiting sentence,

 c. What is the origin of the custom 0, showering a bride and groom with rice'
 A. The practice originated in primitive times. Among early peoples rice and grain were emblems Of productiveness. and grain Of some sort was used in the marriage rites 10 symboize fruitfulness for the union.
