years back we began to realize that into the crucibls

which had not been as active as America has been in
striving to reach the very heights Of civilization.

POETIC FANCY IN
LEGEND OF LENIN
How Soviet Leader Earned
LoUe of Allah.

Among the many legends concern
ing the life and deeds of Nikolai Lenin
already Incorporated in the popular
mythology Of the Moslem inhabitants
of the soviet union Is one passing
from mouth to mouth In Turkestan In
the form of song and summarized
as follows by Lenoid soloylef, a Rus
sian writer who speclalizes in collect
ing Lenln stories. according to the
New York Times:
The World war was raging and
thousands we're being slain because
the kings of the earth wanted to fill
their treasures and were forcing
their subjects to go to the front and
kin each other. The stencil OF the
fallen men and the noise Of the con-
filct rose to high heaven and annoyed
Allah himself, who concluded II was
time to call together his most faithful
followers and select one wise and
strong enough TO end all this misery.
In order to find the best man for
the job, Allah set up double test. His
elected agent must be able to turn
over a huge rock weighing 60 pools
(about toni and to give the correct
answer to the following riddle; "Who
is the strongest on earth, who Is the
happlest, and who Is the weakest and
most unhappy"
There were many candidates for the
glorious mandate, but none was able
TO turn over the rock. although they
tried so hard that the stone soon bore
traces OF their fingers. Neither could
anyone solve the riddle, despite the
variety OF answers, most OF which
mnde Allah the strongest and happi-
est and Satan the weakest and most
unhappy. Finally, Allah noticed n
man OF slight figure but with very
high forehead looking intently Mt the
big rock. Maybe this little fellow can
do Il, thought the Most High.
When the las; candidate threw on
his coat ara stood revealed IN all his
physical weakness, Allah's heart sank.
But what WINS his surprise to see the
man walk away from the rock and re
turn Ia few minutes with several
beams Of wood. one Of these he
showed under the big stone. Then nm
ether was placed under the free end
Of the FIRST. ana by means Of this I'm
urovsed lever the rock was easily
turned over. revealing the poisonous
serpent Ol-Iien. whose tail Weighing
100 pounds had helped hold the stone
down.
Then the little champion answered
Allah's riddle ns follows: "The strong
est Is the most intelligent, who wins
every ones love; the hnppiest Is the
most honorable, who gives happiness
10 many; the most unhappy and the
weakest Is the man beloved by no
body"
Allah saw how wonderful was the
talent Of this man. So he lifted him
w into heaven. where he spent 30
days and 80 nights learning the wis
dom Of the Most High Thus equipped
the successful candidate was named
Lenin and sent back 10 earth. Lenln

NEEDS A CLEANING

Racketeers who infest sundry

ing up. Two cold blooded murders
in one week may not be an unus-
ual circumstance in that wild and
woolly country; but the killing OF

Heights means only one thing-that
the racketesrs consider themselves
above the law and will permit no
official to stand in their way If they

Mayor Refused Compromise
On High School Addition

Endorsement of the construction
of an addition to New Britain High
| school which has been given by the
for the school committee to proceed
with the project. For months it has
been hanging fire because of Mayor
Paonessa's opposition. The mayor
obviously was sincere In his remon-
STRANGE but he has been outvoted by
every responsible branch of the city
government and he should take his
medicine gracefully.
1t is said that efforts were made
to reconcile conflicting opinions on
the advisability of erecting the ad
dtion. The Observer has been in
formed that a leader of the repub-
llcah majority in the common coun-
Gil waited on the mayor to discuss
the subject and suggested that a
compromise might be effected. 1t
was believed then that the mayor
would approve of the addition if
plans were changed to eliminate the
large auditorium. But the ennis
sary of the majority was informed.
it is said, that there could not be
any compromise at that time. The
visitor was informed, according to
report, that the mayor would talk
compromise after the council had
upheld his veto. The majority was
unwilling to follow his course and
risk losing all the ground it 1had
gained. The defeat Of the veto fol-
lowed.

will be no further delay in the cree

DEATH OF PEARSON

. The death of President Pearson
of the New Haven railroad ends the
career Of an illustrious upbuilder OF
a system which was in dire need
of such talent when Mr.. Pearson
took hold. The influence he exerted
was manifest almost Immediately at
that time. He lived to see the road
rise from the lower depths of a
dismal financial condition to a point
where it actually paid small divi-
dend-not much, but important as
an evidence OF good management
and an indication of the future.
. That this achievement demanded
hard application was borne upon the
public Z week ago when the news
came that the president OF the road
resigned to conserve his health.
This decision seems to have been
too late. His condition was worse
than had been suspected. Of him it
can be said that he died virtually in
harness.
