Very good, Louis, you won the dollar again today for guessing cor rectly Peter Perakos. Your sisters answer was good, too, but yours is little longer. more twitting as 1t were, so you get the compensation. The editor would not have printed the silhouette Saturday if he had the slightest idea that the likeness would have been guessed. A little poker game took surplus cash, but as this contest is on the level, let by zones be bygones. Here's Squilla cote's prize offering:
 The silhouette in Saturdays Her. ald is that of Peter Perakos, part owner of the Cauitol. Strand and Palace theaters. Mir Perakos is manager of the Palace theater and has been actively engaged in theat- rical entertainment for a number of years here. The Capitol and Strand theaters have given this city the highest grade of entertainment. and the efforts of the owners have been very successful.
 Pete" as he is most generally called. in an athlete of no mean prowess and is great friend of Joe Hergstrom. Mir. Hergstrom was re- gently victorious in race at Will low Brook park with him, but re- turn match was promised.
 Mir. Perakos' favorite sport is football and he is always interested in the New Britain high school &C., tivities. He also has the manage ment of the new Cameo restaurant on Main street.

The silhouette in tonight's Herald is the likeness of man we all know, although it is no pipe to guess. To- nOrrow at noon he's going to of- ficiate at very important meeting. They are all in league with him. if not in business, in sort of boost ing way. His business is going ahead in leaps and bounds, and is one of the outstanding examples of success in his line of endeavor. He is a traveller of note. only yesteryear, he went to Constantinople. He is not stranger in Mexico City, Paris. Berlin or Montreal. He speaks the French tongue fiuently which helps him to get around Europe with . gusto. "C'est necessaire que vous regardex un petit peu-Regardez bien, C'est Hui sans doubte, un Mon- sieur aui est tojours au Lions club, cheze Burritt hotel. Maintenant, ie silhouette est tres facile.

 The pole vaulting event was the subject of an hours argument after 1t was over. It was the event which practically decided the margin cf victory of Hartford over New Haven. Jenkelunas tied with Bruenie of New Haven for first honors. Bogdanski of New Britain was third and Henry Gwiasda of this city and Flynn of New Haven were tied for fourth place and if this were the case New Haven would have been . full point behind in the hnal counting. The judge of the event, . person picked from the crowd. left the Held shortly after the event and as there were no field judges or in fact anything which reseWbled organization the coaches had to conduct yes and no argument.

Rentschler said that the lighteSt

Rentschler added that the prog

He believes that the weight can

Lawrance has been especially

and that section of Michigan gets a black eye. Between the Atlantic and the Pacific there is nothing but obloquy left for poor Kalamazoo.
 It is possible to conclude from such dismal occurrences that it mat ters not how literate the upper strata of intelligentsia in this nation becomes, so long as there is delud- ed lower strata which remains superstitious and so woefully dumb as to stock up on a mental cargo of witchology, something remains wrong with the educational system.
 Quite a mystery, too, is the fact that the heX-fanatic was a taxicab driver, A taxi driver, so it is general ly believed, sees lot of the world s goings-o on, especially if he taxis late at night. A crude sort of sophistica- uOn IS more III keeping Wlln men who make their livelihood in this manner. This fellow had none of it. He subsequently, told the police of physical symptoms which he blamed on the hex" and almost every liter ate reader, noting his complaint, could almost diagnose his troubles.
 One naturally supposes that this hex believer didn't believe in doctors, or had an idea that they cost money.

ANOTHER PARK AND POOL

It should appeal to any unpreju- diced observer that Councilman |" Mlynarski's idea that the city acquire eight acres of land and a pond in the northwestern section of the city. the pond large enough to be used as a swimming pool for several thou sand children, deserves thorough in vestigation.
 It is the plan of the park board, in response to considerable agitation for swimming pool in that section of the city. to be placed on the Washington school grounds. Coun- cilman Mlynarski himself originally favored the proposed swimming pool in the school grounds, if memory ,,erves correctly, but since that time has come across an improvement that will cost much less" than the school ground swimming pool; and in addition, the city will benefit by acquiring eight acres of land. which certainly would be an advantage as a miniature park in section of the ..city where such a recreational re- source will be vastly appreciated now and even more so in the future.
 The Washington school grounds swimming pool plans call for an esti- mated expenditure of s25 5,000. The Mlynarski park and pool plan seems bigger undertaking yet will cost less, according to the councilman. ., Both plans aim at greatly need ed improvement in a part of the city remarkably deficient in recreational facilities. A thorough study ought to show which is the better project, and this, once discovered should be car ried out with as little delay as pos eible.

banking difficulties in New York company and the private bank of Clarke Brothers.
 Before the war it had quite a scandal in connection with the Siegel bank, an institution that was part of a great department store, in which thousands of depositors lost money. At that time the supposition was widespread that the banking laws would be improved to make such things impossible in the future. But in due time the nine days wonder was forgotten and to the best Of any body's knowledge no stalwart i'm provements were made in the states banking laws as result. Anyway. the public notes what it happens to be noting-two institutions being in- Nestigated at the same time, with Governor Roosevelt declaiming that now something must be done about the situation.
 New York, of course, has big and sound banks. The center of the na- tion's financial system could scarce ly get along without monster insti- tutions of unparalleled strength. But that isn't saying that every bank in Manhattan is alike in every particu- lar. In one of the instances under survey it has been discovered that the so-called bank refused to permit it's books to be examined before the crash, and the majesty of the law couldn't do a thing about it-or at least, did not do so. There are also reports that some of the states banking officials were negligent in doing their duty.
 laws than New York. And among them is Connecticut. The trouble in New York is that things are done on so vast a scale and there is so much to oversee that the ability of the state to keep in touch with situations of primary importance to the public is sometimes in doubt. If Governor Roosevelt can bring about a reform in the law giving to the state more power to delve into matters involving the public good he will accomplish more than has been done hereto fore.
