Watson's Salary 200;
 No Action by Mayor

Mayor Paonessa has neither ap- proved nor disapproved the common councils action in fixing the salary of Chairman James J. Watson Of the water board at s1,200. and as a le- suit the salary automatically goes into effect by virtue of the passing ot time allotted for exercise Of the mayors veto.
 Approval or dlsapproval Of the councils resolution would have had the same effect since a veto would cause the nntter to revert back to the last salary fixed, which is the same amount as that prescribed by the new resolution. Expressing an opinion that the council action was unnecessary. the mayor has entirely i ignored it.
New Britain herald., 1928-08-14

Camp will officially close on Sat- urday. August IS. immediately after dinner.
 The local council camp commit tee is highly gratified at the suc- cesses achieved by camp the first year on it's new camp site, on Cry stal pond in Eastford. Reservations have already been made for next summers camp. not only by present campers. but on the part of boys who were not enrolled in camp this summer. Indications point to a larger camp with an increased staff and at least seven or eight weeks duration.

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
by DR.. c. A. l.. Reed

THERE is a. cruel kind of phil
i osophy going about these
days. under the title OF eugenics,
that ! deem so unfortunate that
/ hope further investigation may
prove it to be untrue. This
philosophy is to the effect that
to be the firstborn is to be the
worst born OF family.
As long ago as 1914 Prof. Karl
Pearson published a lecture called
ION the Handicapping of the
First-born," in which he produced
evidence, convincing to himself,
that first-born children were
especially liable to tuberculosis,
insanity and criminality. His
point Of view was chiefly sociolog-
ical and eugenic. Now comes DR..
Stills observations which were
made to throw light on the cause
OF several obscure diseases which
have their origin before birth,
and were made more from the
medical point Of view. Taken as
q whole, what evidence there Is
shows very strongly the advis-
ability of not being the first-born:
This is promulgated regardless OF
the logical fact that If everybody
declines to be born first, none can
be born second.
Place.in.family, of course, means
first pregnancy. 1t includes all
children thus born, whether they
live or not. TO start a baby,
whether the result is miscar-
riage, a still-birth, or a live child.
less
permanent change in the anatomy
and physiology of the mother.
The result is that a second child
has a different environment from
the moment of conception. 1t is
not unreasonable to suppose that
the obscure conditions which de-
termine the course of development
afterward are also different. It
there are influences which make
for perversion of some kind, they
will show their effect at least as
much in a miscarriage as in
live child.
After making every allowance
for statistical errors, Dr.. Still re-
ports the following results. The
most striking instance of a dis
ease to which the first-born is

this are first-bOrn; only % per

and so on. First-b born children

genital diseases of the heart, and

cataract, deaf mutism, over and
under growth of limbs, etc, no
less than AIS per cent are first
born.
1T is said that mental de.
ftciency is often the result Of
injury before or during birth.
This may be SO, but most mental
deficiency Is the result of de-
ficiency in the structure of the
brain and was originated before
conception. The figures show
such an excess of first born
among the mental detectives that
even If a reduction is made for
the difficulty OF first labor, it
is probable that strong evidence
OF a special liability of first.bOrn
children to mental defect would
still remain. DR.. A. +. Tredgold
says that birth injury does not
cause more than Up ger cent of
mental defects.

GEORGE SAND (Aurore Dupin)
" was an amazing French
woman, who lived from 1904 10
1876, and, according to her con-
temporarie5, raised Cain every
minute of the time. She was the
forerunner of all modern, rebel
lious, independent women. She did
everying that nineteenth century
ladies' were supposed not to do.
She discarded the cumbersome
hoops Of the day and went about
in trousers, riding astride. smok-
ing. and looking everyone straight
in the eye.
She was not noisy about it. She
was, indeed, very quiet, gentle and
sympathetic, but she was deter
mined to live life honestly and
bravely, and she refused TO let her
mind, body or spirit be hampered
needlessly.
She divorced worthless hus-
ba nd, wrung her beloved children

huneers satisfied. But she never
found the right man, although
she loved and was loved by many
of the most brilliant men of her
day with every possible demon
stration Of exIraVagant devotion.
Never did q woman dare more for
Romance or receive more in re-
turn for her daring than George
Sand. Yet Romance failed her
her heart remained unsatisfied.
When she was forty-two, desc
Iation fell upon her as it falls
upon all women. She was grow

love. there was nothing more TO
live for. She went through great
agony. Kut she did not come out
Of that agony broken or bitter,
crying thar love was a mOckery or
that men could not be trusted.
She was az honest in her hour of
defeat as sna had been in her reck-
less search for love. She saw that
neither men nor love were to
blame; thaU she, alone, was to
blame because she had sought full
fillment through Romance and Ro-
nance was not enough. LIFE
WAS MADE FOR GREATER
ENDS THAN ROMANCE.
When George Sand realized that
she at last found peace-she at
last GREW UP. Her love no
