BACK TO Sl,NSI,

Making felonies out of mis- demeanors at the behest of fanatics whose chief desire is to put all the liquor sellers into prison for life threatens to run its course even in Michigan, It is notable that Wilbur M. Brucker. attorney general, who drafted an amendment to the Michi- gan law 10 eliminate some 200 minor offenses from being cataloged as felonies, is opposed largely by R. NJ. Holsaple, superintendent of the Michigan Anti Saloon League.
 Under the Brucker amendments those who commit four felonics would go to prison for life--but the offenses must be serious offenses, not what are commonly regarded as mis- demeanors. This is reasonable and is in conformity with the principles un- derlying the Baumes law in New York.
 But according to the principles of such anti-saloon leaguers who agree with the fanatical conclusions of the Holsaples, iS doesn't matter how many people so to prison for life for misdemeanors so long as the liquor dispensers also go there. It Is an un- charitable and unchristian attitude.

 It is scarcely likely that there is anything else in connection with the building to discuss.

SUPERVISING THE HEALTH
 OF OUR YOUNG

The resources of science and the accumulation of knowledge are of no value unless they are generally ap- piled to the betterment of the human race. The multitude of bodily ills that can be avoided through the applica- ton of scientific knowledge will harass the human race unless pre- ventive measures are applied.
 How important, therefore. is the method of giving physical examina- tions to school children. All. chill dren must gather in the schools, and it is not only cheaper but more con- venient to examine their physical condition there than elsewhere. Wise parents in the community regard such physical examinations as a boon; to the children it means bet ter health and less suffering later in life.
 It is much more pleasant for the child to have slight cavity in | tooth discovered while in school. and then have it filled with splotch of silver, than 10 let the cavity grow and provide hours of 'toothachc" a fey years later. Those of us who
New Britain herald., 1929-02-09

went to school at time when no- body cared about the health Of . child at school can vouch for the fact that touthaches were torture. usual. ly resulting in nerve killings and ex- fractions.
 And se it goes relative to all the little and big ills that inflict the. hu- man race. Infant mortality is steadily decreasing; fewer children than ever before are dying from prsventable diseases: longevity Is being increased constantly. We are not only getting more out of life. but we are giving those who are born a better chance to continue living to a ripe old age.
 It is useless to point out that peo- pie lived to be 50, 90 and 100 in this section of the country long before health rules were as universally ap- piled as they are today. The early records of the town clearly prove the contention. But people lived in a more natural manner in those days: employment was mostly outdoors. and settlers grew strong with their environment. Infant mortality was high in those days. however. and children who were not especially lucky usually failed to survive.
 Today those who are born weak who are just as dear to their parents as those who are born strong-have quite as good 8 chance to grow into healthy citizens aS the naturally strong. The spirit of democracy lies in giving to the children of the poor and middle class just as good chance to grow up healthy as the children of the rich.
 Changed conditions of adult life have made it easier for disease to find Judgement in the body. It is triumph Of the times that despite the perIs of our more artificial lives we are able to reduce mortality from diseases which only up to few de- cades ago levied horrible toll. More diseases have been invented" as the saying goes-due to the improper living that is a part of modern life but we also know of more ways to combat ailments. and especially. how to prevent them. This modern civili- zation would be maelstrom of misery if scientific preventives were not almost universally adopted. if education were not practically ap- piled, if accumulated knowledge went neglected. To insure the largest ratio of healthy adults we apply our knowledge of life from the cradle. in the schools: and in tallying the re- suits note that they are good

THE NO SCHOOL" SIGNAL

It is we'll that Joseph NJ. Ward. school committeeman, brought up the question of the efficiency of the present system of notifying parents when. during storm emergency. there would be no session of the schools for the day. The chief diff culty with the present system is that the whistle is not heard by everyone interested. so that some children trot off to school as a storm rages and find out what should have been known in the first place only after they have reached the school build ings. By the time they return home they have suffered thorough drenching. That occurred Thursday in many instances.
 The whistle at the Stanley Works is of loud calibre. and the factory's cooperation with the school au- thorities in doing this public serv- ice no doubt is we'll appreciated. But if 1t is clear that the whistle can- not be heard all over the city some other method will need to supple ment the present system, or displace it.
 The matter has been placed in the hands of Superintendent Holmes for investigation and probably will be solved in due time. Finding the 100 per cent perfect system, however, may not be easy.

 In North Lanark the death of Sir Alexander Sprot. conservative. M. F., has come too close to the approach. ing election for the party to find . substitute. The liberal candidate, Mrs. Wolson, recently withdrew. But the labor party has a strong candidate in Miss Jenny Lee. school teacher and daughter of coal miner. She has canvassed her dis trict assiduously.

TIME, As WE LIKE IT

Connecticut is to remain conserva- tive in it's dispensation of time: everything will remain as 1t has been that is to say, those cities and towns desiring to operate on daylight saving time during the summer months will be at liberty to do so as long as their public clocks do not show anything but standard time.
 The Legislature, in refusing to take action on the time issue, gives the people credit for possessing the requisite intelligence not to err on considering the time O day: that practice has made perfect regardless of what the public clocks say.
