"S\ICKER' DINNER

Chairman George k. Dobson of the board of public works is play ing perfectly safe in agreeing to stand the expenses Of a "snicker dinner" if Alderman Peter J. Pa .icwski of the firth ward can prove that members Of the public works board sheltered two weeks ago when a petition for improvements in the ward were presented.
 Chairman Dobson knows as well as anybody that it is next to impos- siblc to prove q snickcr two weeks after it is alleged to have snickcred. He knows perfectly well, too, that members of his board are not going to give damaging evidence about snickers. The whole business. there- fore, is merely a little mole hill alongside of mountain, and really not worth writing about. Only it happens that a "snicker dinner is something original and should be encouraged, if possible.
 The only bad feature about a snicker dinner, if Chairman Dobson actually "throws' one, is that the habit of snickerins might include snickering at the quality of the food. This would be just too bad. All the same. it frequently has happened.

FAIR WEATHER OR FOUL

When the weather CT what passes for it, becomes so distrcssingly un- usual as to he q chcf topic ot con- versatiou in every household, it is worth writing about The past few
 days, for instance, have left us in d daze. By now it may be on the
 mend: which is usually the case aft CT an editorial is concoctcd on that subject The weather mans pet am
 bition is 10 fool editorial writers, changing the faucet from between
 the time the cd is written and when
 it secs print.
 For instance, this editorial was begun at 3:25 Thursday afternoon. At 3:27 down from the skies dashed

 prognostications, reflected the writ CT.
 Thus We got ready to call off
 writing anything further about such
 a topic The moment the thought
 arrived 1t stopped raining; that is, it
 stopped raining hard.

Cott about the recent exhibition in the New Britain Institute. As for ourselves, we are willing to step aside and let the two gentlemen have the floor.
 The only point, however, we wish to clarfy in this discussion is that which concerns the enterprise of Miss Fanny Brown in organizing the exhibition. We would not have it thought that we in the slightest un- dcrestimatcd such activities. She is to be congratulated. We feel sure she will bestr herself to organize another exhibition in due course. Let the criticisms of pictures by in- dividuals fall where they may, art exhibits must be given Miss Brown is holding high the torch of art in- tercst in New Britain and we intend to encourage her.
 One statement of Mr. Hitchcock had to do with music. "rho new music Of the last few years makes no use Of Cacophony." he wrote. IL IS true that some new music of the last few years is in this class, but Mr. StokoWski and the other prma donna conductors do not seem 10 be playing it. Only recently. we re- member. Mr. Stokowski turned to face hissing audience and inform- cd such as didn't care for the con. temporary music he was playing 10 leave the auditorium and thus per init others who cared for it, or were curious about it, to attend. The point, by the way, was well taken, All that claims to be art should get a hearing. That is what concerts and picture exhibits are for.
 Mr. Van Cott's cynical review Of the New Britain art exhibit at the Institute, and MT. HitchCock's spir- ited rejoinder, have helped ratl IT than injured the cause Of art in this city Discussion aroused by art in duces more people to become inter estcd in it. More of what Messrs Van Cott and Hitchcock provided will do yeoman's service in arour ing the populace to a realization that we have art exhibits of such calibre in town that they are worth a clash of opinion.

Native Of This State With ASSO- CiatiCn Since 1887
Special to the Uerald)


 Washington. D. C., Dec. 20-Dr. D. l.. Yarncll, 6@ years old, known throughout the United States for his work as a Y. Nj. (. A. secretary especially in his native state Of Connecticut died here yesterday at illness for which he underwent three major operations. Dr. Yarnell was born at Bantam Conn, and made his home there each summer, since retiring from active service in the Y. NJ. C. A. III 1926. He made his home in Wash ington each winter.
 Dr. Yarucll entered the Y. NJ. C. C. in 1887 at New York city, anl since that time has been secretary executive secretary. Then he rc. | signed for d short time, to become general secretary of the Silver Bay association at Silver Bay, New York, and later as secretary of the mer- chant marine in Japan.

STIMSON ON WARPATH

For cabinet officer to take pub lie exception to an editorial is at least unusual. Secretary of State Stimsons displeasure at an editorial in the Washington Post and his en- suing public denunciation is the sec ond time that he has taken this course with respect 10 comment based on Washington developments The first instance was when Wash- in2ion political writer interpreted ouc Of Mr. Stjmaou's statements in way the secretary of state did not like. Now the Washington Post Is placed on the StimsoHian operating table.
 It is doubtful whether the plan of publicly dcuounclng q newspaper is 4 good one. The net result is that | W here thousands read or knew oi { the uttcr1ncc of the Post in Wash . lIl- pIts IItlIllpih' itO " ct '''''' V acquainted with it. and there may l,c a goodIy percentage Of these millions who agree with inc Post,
 Tlr main object of the Secretary va- to impress the Japanese dele gates that the inSinUauons iA the Lost editorial were not to be taken auroad as fact. In this aim the Sec ratary probably succeeded. It seems to Us. however. that the same object could have been attained by quietly telling. writing or telcgraphing tc ,iu. gentlemen.
 The Post is not likely to he moro tlur'able for being thus publicly rrprjmanded. It probably will awal with eag"rncss just another oppor' tunty to spill a few beans in the governments back yard,

FEWER BIRTHS

Statistics from New Haven, indi- eating that during the last l years the decrease in births has approXi- mated 40 per cent, seems to be q larger decrease than reported in most other cities.
 The significance of the figures in New Haven lies in the fact that the city contains a large foreign popu- lation, which in the past has been the most prolific multipliers in the cities. It perhaps is fair to reason, as does Leon r. Whitney, executive secretary of the American Eugenics Society, that the people of the city are making an effort to control the birth rate.
 Reports arc repeatedly seen in the press that marriage are fewer, the increased population consider ed; and that births likewise arc fewer. This decrease, as in New Haven. is affecting the so-called foreign population as well as all oth- CT clements of the people.
 There are those who say that modern conditions are chiefly re- sponsihle. These say it is increasing ly difficult to rear families where both man and woman are at work When children become a greater economic liability than before, the ultimate result is fewer children, il is stated. There seems to be at lsls a germ of truth in the diagnosis.
 More than year ago Premle) Mussolini of Italy called upon thu Italian people to provide themselves with larger families. The appea was in his usual vigorous style. Re i ccntly the vital statistics Of the na 1 ton became known and the, showed reduction in both mar riages and births. During rrcrn years similar decreases have hocl noted in all the major nations Those who in their idle moment have been fearing that the cartl would be vastly ovcrcroWdcd with in a few centuries possibly hay less to worry.

intended to do, can rest assured he is doing a most patriotic and loyal deed. He will not only help himself by acquiring goods he wishes to possess, but he is helping others who need it, especially the men and women who are employed the year round in providing him with his special needs.
 There is no better time than now to insure genuine prosperity throughout the country throughout the coming year. Most citizens, who remain reasonably fairly well off, can have a hand in the creation of such prosperity.
 Incidentally, there is no more certain way to bring about hard times than systematic curtailed buy ing by people who are not forced to adop, such measures.
 We take our choice through our own actions.
