FOR ANOTHER DEBATE

The Democratic party in the city seems to be doing thorough lob in the effort to clean up the premises. The town committee, lncensed (per- haps) at the mayors criticisms, is burning extra light trying 10 com pose . reply fitting the circum- stances; and as this remains free country a stirring debate is likely 10 ensue, as We have not yet known the mayor to dodge the opportunity for an argument with sincere gentlemen who didn't happen to agree with him.
 The Democratic party began to crack in City Hall when the mayor insisted on preventing the high school addition from beng built. At the showdown a goodly portion of his party in the Council deserted the banner of opposition, probably not understanding what that high school addition had to do with politics. any way. We have had the impression that the mayor has been coolly dis posed toward some folks ever since. With the Smith defeat and the re- cent ward election added, local po- litical history has not been exactly sublime. The main thought that the mayors helpers can proclaim is that Mr Paonessa has been the only Democrat who has been aJl. 4 win the mayoralty three times. record that adds to his prestige regardless Of what all the current debate may be about.

Warship, Presidents Yacht Nov
 Relegated to Limbo

Washington, April 13. R-The ! Mayflower, yacht for presidents of the United States and an honorable ! veteran of wars. will spend an un- eventful old age in the navy yard at Philadelphia.
 The historic vessel will ride easi- ly at its moorings for at least four years. Unless some future presi- dent orders the craft put back into service it probably has made its last voyage. The ensign of its com- mander has been taken down, the washrooms will be dismantled. and the deck chairs and salon furniture will he stored in the hold. The warrant officers and enlisted men have been transferred to other posts.
 The Mayflower was ordered de- commissioned by President Hoover in the interest of economy. Des- ptia the fact that he is fond of yachting. he does not care 10 have the government spend $300,000 an- nually to satisfy the presidential taste for cruising.
 Then, too, the President saw no necessity for keeping at his dis posal nine officers and l4S enlist ed men, the number required to man the yacht.
 The vessel will be well cared for at Philadelphia, however. and should future president desire that it be | I. done with little difficulty.
 The Mayflower boasts of a rec ord of winch her crews have been proud, and is first of all a unit of the United States navy.
 The craft has assisted in the pro- lection of American naval interests in foreign waters; has served as a fla gship and has been called upon tc act as an envoy of good will. She has conveyed many important per- sCnages on various diplomatic and social cruises
 The Mayflowcr was built for a pleasure yacht by J. x. G. Thomp- son of ClydebanE, Scotland, in 1896. She was purchased from the ogden Goelet estate in March, 1898. by the government. On March l9 of that year the boat was ordered equipped for war and sent 10 help aNenge the sinking Of the Maine.
 Her first duty was in the capaci- ty of dispatch boat during the Havana blockade in the Spanish American war. She took part in the capture Of the Spanish vessel San tiago Apostol May s, 1898. She was at Cienfuegos when Major Dusen- berg took possession. and fired salute of T guns as the national ensign was raised above the city hall.
 The Mayflower also saw duty in Porto Rican waters before she was assigned to President Roosevelt June ZS, 1902. Each of the succeeding chief executives have made liberal use Of the yacht.

lizing their own market, and at higher prices than American films command. Hollywood has the advan- tage of mass production and the worlds biggest market at its doors. It can undersell French films be- cause of its surplus of manufacture; and it can do without French bus mess because only the surplus will be affected. If need be, the American film manufacturers can keep out of France and not apreciably feel the loss. Indeed. they will feel the loss less than were they forced to buy French films against their will. As a matter of fact. few of the French til4s they were forced to buy were ever shown in this country.

DRINK ON THE HIGH SEAS

Professional prohibitionists in Washington and elsewhere have something else 10 worry about and seem 10 be losing no time in practic- ing the art of gnashing teeth. The idea now is to pass law which would seek to extend prohibition to all ships flying the American flag regardless of where the ships hap pen 10 be.
 Considering that the Leyiathan, when it was under government own ership and control, was credited with being the biggest bootlegging ship afoat. it is illogical to expect that such a law could be enforced now that the big ship and the others just sold 10 private owners would turn into floating deserts merely because Congress happened 10 pass law about it.
 Nobody taking passage on an American ship needs 10 drink liquor outside the Emile limit IL is pos sible for any prohibitionist to be on board and remain as dry as he ever was. Only those who wish to drink stuff stronger than water. milk tea or coffee are accom- modateJ.
 As we see if. that is their business: and probably will remain their busi- ness
 If it is so terrible to have liquor sold on American liners beyond the 1 Emile limit. how is it re- garded as less terrible for American ambassadors in for eign countries, and American

NEEDS OF THE TIMES!
By Edgar M. Tod


 If l wished to be facetious would say that 1t needs more adver- tising, but I am talking about the needs Of the times, and not Of the Times.
 Especially am l thinking of those poor little, helpless Dumb Doras who get inviegled into matrimony with some cruel ogre, and then have to spend two or three weeks getting a divorce, with alimony attached. This should be simpified. The mar riage license should have a redeem able divorce certificate and alimony coupons. This would save the in- dignity of the various ramiiication of law through these young and un- sophisticated Dumb Doras have to go in order to eliminate a surplus husband.
 A good wife should be treated good. Good treatment is their due. They should be loved, but one should know where the good wifes hus- band is at the time or trouble may develop. Husbands are very narrow minded and sometimes develop what is known as a trigger finger.
 Wonen, as rule-but there is no use in going into all that. We knew they rule-that is. as rule they rule. However you cannot lay down hard and fast rule about women.
 What women really want arc fewer husbands and more bridge partners.

French film manufacturers. sore ly b"set for years by American competition, al last seem 10 have brought about condition where no American film at all will be shown in France. The final move which brought about this lamentable re- suit was d demand by the united French moving picture interests that the nited States producers buy one French film for every three Ameri- cans films released in France This would have had the effect of reduc- ing American participation in French business about 40 per cent: ii had already been nota bly, reduced due to previous curtailments The American film makers. unwilling to subsidize the French film industry 10 the tune of from s406,006 10 $500, o6o q year, did well by them selves to forego the French market altogether. By closing their offices in France, however, newsreels Of French events likewise will ter. minate.
 French film makers, in common with the film producers in other European nations. look upon the Hollywood moguls as interests seek ing 10 destroy the manufacture Of native films. This. of course, is not true. It is possible. however, that no film product elsewhere can compete with the American films, all things considered.

 Pulaski, whose memory is revered in every Polish family, was tluly an Amercan hero and according to his torians, was the father of Ameri- can calvary" His active service as a ranking general was commended by Congress and in 1910 a monument was erected in his mem- ory on Pennsylvania avenue in Washington, with money appropriat- cd for that purpose by Congress. In the capitol building a marble bust of him stands in one corner of the hall containing similar busts of great American heroes, while records in the Congressional library speak vol umes of him and his distinguished service.
 Lack of interest among represent ative members of the Polish people in this state is given as the main reason for failure to bring the mat ter up to the attention of the legis- lators in Hartford. Those in other cities look up to New Britain to break the ice and push the matter before the close of the present ses- sion. But locally, the Poles are satis- fled with the passing of a resolution for city-wide celebration, which will take up most of their time and interest. A movement is also on foot to have resolution passed for the naming of the two parks in the north end, at the junction of Broad, Burritt and Clinton streets, Pulaski and kosciuszko in memory of the two Polish heroes of Revolutionary war period. A more appropriate commemoration at this time could not be made, and should the resolu- lion pass, which is quite certain New Britain may well feel satisfied that a moral debt has been paid However, in justice 10 the many thousands of Poles spread through out the state, who are not planning similar anniversaries, liviAg in ex- pectation that the state will follow the exam pie of other states, some thing should be sponsored in regard 10 statewide manifestation of a patriotic duty.

Dr. r. r. Lee Popular With Paterson Public

When Dr. Fred F. Lee tendera I his resignation as superintendent of health here several years ago, city officials put their heads together to determine ways and means Of re- taInlng his services. even going 10 the extent of calling a special ses- sion Of the common council to ma teraily increase his salary. Dr. Lee, invited to take over the superinten1ency of the health de- partment at Paterson, x. J., .x- pressed his appreciation. but de- clined and went into the broader field of public health service in the Skceter State.
 A visitor to ratcrson-and New Britain visitors are always welcome would readily agree that Dr. Lee made the proper move when he ac- cepted the new position.
 Housed in a former school build- Ing or approximately the same size as the Burritt school at the corner Of Main and East Main streets, and not unlike that building in structu-- al design, are the agencies Of the Paterson department of health. all operating under Dr. Lees personal supervision. The building is three stories high. On the main floor are Inc spacious offices Of Dr, Lee and his secretary leading from main of- f1ces much larger than any single office in the New Britain municipal building. Officers for heads of the Nar1ous bureaus are also on this floor.
 The second floor is given over 10 laboratory many times as large as the entire suite Of offices occu- pied by the local department of health. One of the auxiliary offices 10 the laboratory houses tier after tier of wire GOODS in which guinea pigs, white mice and various other animals are raised for experimental purposes.
 On the third floor is large audi torum from the rostrum of which Dr. Lee conducts daily talks to his staff Of 55 employees and the corps Of visiting nurses which services the l5o, 900 residents of Paterson.
 In addition to his work with the health department, Dr. Lee acts as an instructor in the Paterson Gen. eral hospital, one Of the show places among the public buildings Of the state of New Jersey. On occasions. he also addresses gatherings Of pupils in the Paterson schools.
 When pr. Lee went to Paterson, he was practically unknown to the residents of that city. He recalls having had but one personal friend a physician who served with him in the United States army during the war. He was not long in the city when his circle Of friends began 70 increase and he was soon enrolled as one of the members Of the Hamili on club. one Of the oldest and most exclusive clubs of its kind in the country. occupying an entire builI- ing in the heart of the business dis trict.
 Dr. Lee has become an enthusias- tc Patersonian and considers the city to be one of the best in the United States, a viewpoint which Mrs. Lee also shares.
 Paterson is not great distance from the MasonDixon line where nothern progressiveness and indus try meet southern hospitality. II $ d city that has but two groups. namely. those who are 'in" and those who are "out." Dr. Lee, :n Paterson. is most assuredly in.

Connecticut RenliSs in HnOring Pulaski

Steps have already been taken by local Poles to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the death of General Casimir Pulaski of kevolu- tionary war fame, and so far as is known the celebration will be of city-wide importance, resolution being passed by the council to set aside October llth as the day for the exercises. So far so good. as far prominent Poles throughout the state. and for that matter q number in this community seem 10 think that the celebration should be state- wide.
 Communications to that effect have been exchanged between those interested in the project, asking whether bill was introduced in the legislature. whereby October II would be proclaimed a day of state wide celebration in which the state officially would take part. Bills to that effect have already been intro duced and passed on favorably in many sldlts 1llllOls, 4Nttil- . igan. Wisconsin, Maine New York and Georgia. while other states are expected 10 follow suit.
 It would be fitting for all the original 13 states to join in this procession of other far-off states in commemorating officially the death Of man, who had died for love Of liberty and freedom on foreign soil, and in the prime of youth. Maine, with a Polish population slightly ex- ceeding that of this city. deserves credit for being the first of the orig inal thirteen states to see the import ance of the sesquicentenlial cele- bration.
