Seven cases were discovered in Union
Vile in Pennington last week. One
patient had been i'll month when the
disease was discovered. This man had
returned from Canada six days before

posed to infection at some point on the

other members Of the family have the
disease. Two children in another fam
ily were vaccinated early in November

though their brother has smallpox.
During the smallpox outbreak in Bris-
toll last spring the Pennington school
board ordered vaccination Of all school
children in accordance with the state
statutes Some of the people Of I'M
ionville were opposed to this action. A
representative of the State Depart
ment Of Health attended a hearing on
the subject before the Board of Edu-
cation and practically all Of those who
appeared in opposition were said TO
have come from Unionville.
Board Reseinds Order
Opposition TO the vaccination order
was SO strong and persistent that the
Board of Education rescinded the or
der on November and unyaccinated
children were readmitted TO the
schools As a protest against this
backward step the health officer resign

10 gain a lesson from II. Everyone
who knows few fundamental facts
can draw his own conclusions. In the
first place, all persons not protected BY
a previous attack of the disease or by
vaccination are susceptible TO smallpox
no matter how cleanly their habits may
be. In the next place, with the wide
prevalence Of smallpox in the country
and modern facilities for travel, the
chances are that most people VIII be
exposed TO smallpox sometime during
their lives unless effective protective
measures are taken. In the third
pIace. experience has shown that small
pox may spread in spite Of the most
rigid quarantine measures. From a
consideration Of these facts II - easy
to understand the additional fact that
the only absolutely dependable method
Of preventing smallpox IS by immuniz-
ing the population either through an
attack of the disease or by vaccination.
Those who fail 20 choose the less Sc
we're and less annoying method Of i'm
munization by vaccination take a
chance Of finding themselves victims OF
the disease with all the annoyance Of
quarantine and the hazards incident
to smallpox.
Begin in Infancy
The best time 10 start vaccination Is
in infancy. The reaction IS much less
severe in young infants than IN older
children or adults. Vaccination IS prac-

ANOTHER TROLLEY LINE
YIELDS TO BUSES

One of the most important Of troll
ley line discontinuances in favor OF
buses has been allowed by the Pub
lie Utilities Commission, resulting in
an important change in travel
facilities between New Haven and
Winsted. This discontinuance Of troll
Icy service in favor of motor
coaches is also notable in that the
Connecticut company pettioned for
lscontinuance, Immediately fol-
lowed by petition OF the New Eng
land Transportation company, the
New Haven railroad subsidiary. for
permission to operate the buses.
Both petitions having been granted.
it is worth while to consider the
change in prospect on the morning
of January g.
The trolley service, such as it has
been and is, has been between Tor
rington and Winstcd, and between
Thomaston and Fort Hill in Water
ice. The motor coach service will be
a through line between New Haven
and Winsted, via Waterbury. Thorn
aston and Torrington. Manifesty
this is a far superior proposition. 1t
will benefit all the towns and cities
along the line and will enable
coach travellers to travel between
their destinations without change.
The motor coach line. however, in
stead Of stopping at Winsted. should
continue to Pittsfield, Il hint that the
Waterbury Republican was prompt
to throw in the direction of the New
England Transportation company
but which that concern could not in
corporate in its petition in this state
because of the intra- state character
of the service. It is to be hoped that
the company speedily makes ar
rangements with the authorities In
MasSac husetts TO extend the line to
Pittsfeld, which would give the
public in western Connecticut direct
through transportation north and
south from one important rail ter
nlinal to another imprtant rail
terminal.

SNAPpY WEATHER AS CURE
FOR COLDS AND FLU

Doctors tell us that it is not bitter
cold weather which causes epidemics
of colds. influenza and other bron-
ohial tube diseases, but that these
are most likely to occur during mild
and unreasonable fall months. and
during winter months which happen
to be more like autumn. OF course.
there is d certain total of such
troubles present to inflict humanity
regardless Of the kind of winter VIC
may be having: but statistics show
that unreasonable weather greatly
advances the cause Of sneezing,
coughing and general debility.
The nation has been somewhat
alarmed lately regarding the prog
ress of an influenza epidemic which
started along the Pacific coast and
has worked its way eastward. 1t is
a mild form of the miserable disease.
however, and this forms the silver
lining on the cloud.
More general in the East has been
an epidemic Of common colds: to
sniffle seems to be in style. All of
which has been due to a combination
of circumstances all predicated upon
such a mild winter-so far-as to
lead some of the more impression
able to believe the climate is chang
ing.
1t is unsafe to predict that colder
weather Is right around the corner.
As this is written the thermometer
has gone down appreciably: but
that is no guarantee that 1t will be
down by the time this item sees
print. Such are the vagarics of the
weather.
When the thermometer begins re-
naming down low-where it belongs,
according to the coal dealers-a
horde of colds will disappear and
much shifting cease. We hope to
lose ours by that time.

A NEW NATIONAL ANTHEM
IS NOT NEEDED

Again composer of parts has at
tempted to furnish the nation with a
new national anthem, having come
to the conclusion that the star
Spangled Banner being "a tune TAX
song, is not compatible with the
dignity of this great nation, while
America" being Of English origin
also. is not deemed original enough.
The gentleman ready to supply the
new national anthem had mar
veiously big opportunity to put it
over. He was no other than Ernest
Bloch. born in Switzerland, natural-
lied in America, and winner of the
Musical America symphonic prize
competition. The national anthem
was attached to the symphony and
at the grand finale stood out all
alone in all its grand splendor. The
words were printed on the program ms.
and the audience was supposed to
Join the orchestra in song But when
Walter Damrosch motioncd to the
Carnegie Hall audience to rise and
join in the singing was SO inconse-
quential, except for chorus Oh the
stage, that it was even less In
volume than the congregational
singing in some churches We have
attended.
The unholy music critics were
prompt to explain that the supposed
new national anthem was the weak

TIL, FINAL FIGURES UPON
THE LATE ELECTION

We gather the election results
swiftly in this swift age. That is. we
know comparatively early on the
night of the election just who will
sit on the presidential leather in the
executive mansion. But we do not
obtain the exact totals quite that
carly. In fact. they are Just at hand.
1t took special effort by the Asso-
ciated Press TO secure these figures
by communicating with the election
officials of all the As states. The ex
act totals show that Herbert Hoover
obtained 21,429,109 votes, while Al
Smith got neat total of 15,005,497.
And the total vote cast, the largest
in the history Of the L. S. A.. was
3G,79S,G69.
The Hoover plurality over Smith
G.423,612-was less than the figures
registered by President Coolidge in
1874 over Davis, in spite of the much
larger vote polled by the secretary
of commerce. But despite this less
cned plurality, Hoovers votes We're
better distributed for totals in the
electoral college, SO that he carried
40 states to 81 carried by Coolidge
four years ago.
1t is d commonplace to think that
the country is overwhelmingly
Republican" But Democratic
candidate who can poll more than
100000 votes is not exactly over
whelmed so far as popular acclaim
is concerned. A candidate with this
total of votes, distributed 'properly'
in the various states could be elect
cd even if the opponent had more
than 100000 more-this due to the
possibilities inherent in the electoral
college system, which is credited with
being in the Constitution through
The influence of Alexander Hamilton
in the Philadelphia convention
which gave birth to the basic law.
For practical purposes. the dispo
-lon of the votes in the electoral
college considered. the country real
ly is overwhelmingly Republican.
When a candidate can carry all but
eight states while his opponent OBJ
tains more than 100000 votes it
denotes the overwhelming ratio of
40 to 5 in the thing that determines
The election.
Some day. the electoral college be-
ing an inaccurate reflection of the
popular vote. a minority candidate
will win the election in the electoral
College, and do it, so decisively that
here can be no way of beating him
out of the fruits of victory-and
hen the probability will loom that
he Constitution will be speedily
amended TO do away with the cleo
oral college. Until then We prob
ably will have to worry along with

Trying to provide = new national
anthem for the American people Is
an attempt years old. The people
will have nothing Of the new ma
tional anthems: they are satisfied
with what they have. and regard
less of the criticisms levelled at the
star Spangled Banner" it somehow
sticks. The words were born In the
midst of national stress, an advan-

them written in a study during
peace and prosperity. II a new
national anthem could be written in
such an off-hand manner Victor
Herbert, John Phillip Sousa or
Reginald de koven-no mean
manipulators of tunes and lyrics in
the American manner-would have
done so years ago. The task Bloch
set for himself ip this connection
was hopeless, and can be ascribed to
the fact that he has been in this
country only twelve years and is
something of an idealist by nature.
AS Sousa once said. writing ma
tional anthems cannot be accom-
plished with the ease Of writing a
book or an opera. Too many cir
cumstances must combine. When the
time comes to provide new one.
Sousa said, neutrality-suspicious. an
inconspicuous citizen-wiIl pen it in
