Special Town Meeting Tomorrow
 Over one thousand children heard the call of learning and flocked to schools today, Even though the schools did not open until 9 this morning, the walks and the roads leading to the institutions were throngcd with children of all ages as early as S:30. The reports of the attendance were meagre and no definite knowledge of the number reporting for classes YVES obtained. The grammar school in Kensington reported that the attendance lived mp to the expectations of the officials and that the school is over crowd cd as usual.
 A last minute change occurred in the teaching staff of rhe Kensington grammar school. Miss Alice Hartney, teacher of one of the lower grades, resigned to accept a position as teach or in q New Britain school. Miss Grace Phelan was transferred from the Hubbard school to the kensing ton grammar school to fill the Va "ancv there existing. Her position at the Hubbard school will be filled by Miss Bertha Barrett of Lowell, Mass. who will teach the third and 'ourth grades. At the present time here are no vacancies existing.
 Due to the excessive heat the chools were closed this afternoon. II was learned late this morning that the number reporting for classes Is greater than at the time of closing last June.

The Real Tragedy

The tragedy of the death of meritorious legislative
measures designed to protect the people from the
growing greeds of the rapidly growing insult influence
is bad enough.
But greater is that tragedy of seduction of repre-
sentatves of the people by the lobbyists who
have become the real through the deser-
ton by men who in other relations of life would not
think of betrayng their friends and neghbors.
The farmer who comes to the legislature and is
charmed and awed by the lavish attention paid to
him by gifted and giving lawyers would not stoop
to the picking of pockets of his friends or the rob-
bing of their chicken coops or melon patches
Perhaps he does not understand that the votes
they give result finally in payments Of excessive
charges and the taking of extra pennies unfair and
unearned pennies.
Or take the youth. educated in state university
bringing with him ideals, dedicating himself to the
cause of justice, playing upon the confidence of
friends to place him early in position of service
Education in state institutions must be failure
if it fails to warn him that the government which edu
Gates him disappears when the interests of the people
are given away to the privileged few and laws are no
longer enacted by the people and for the people, but
by special interests in behalf of greed
That such might be lulled by the soft and siren
songs of successful lawyers who devote their days
and nights-to the protection of these interests from
the public is understandable Success seemingly lies
not in serving the people, but in playing the game with
the powerful.
OF course, if such there he they will never again
dream and never again have visions. That is the
tragedy.
The people, perhaps, can afford the extra exactons
of money. The people can not afford to lose the
dreams of their young men. When youth is cor
rupted, age is rotten

Preventive Accidents

When industrial corporation wishes to commend
itself to he public it usually stresses its earnings the
of it's plant its public service something of that
kind
The Bethlehem Steel Corporation however, is
claiming recognition grounds 1t points to its
record in the last year in the prevention of industrial
accidents
In the Bethlehem plants last year the number OF
accidents was reduced % per cent, the number of
fatalities reduced "a per cent and the amount of
time lost due to accidents reduced "a per cent
and all of this in spite of the fact that the rate OF
operations was higher than in any year since 1917.
That's the sort of record company is entitled to
be proud of. Would that more corporations take to
boasting in like vein.

Owning a Home

Some interesting statistics on home ownership are
presented in recent press bulletin from Walter F.
Mcdowell, president of the United States League of
Local Building and Loan Associations.
To begin with, Mcdowell reveals that fully half OF
the homes in the United States are owned by men
earning less than $4,000 year. At least 80 per cent
of the people who buy homes do not pay for them
outright but borrow the money from building and loan
similar institutions. And he adds
ANY person who is willing to live within his in
come and who really wants home can manage the
small regular and systematic deposit of few dollars
each week month to build up the required savings
The growth of individual home ownership in recent
years is good sign. For all the prevalence of INSTALL
ment buying, we still have the thrift habit

Reason

INOTHING else on the radio has
IN half the heart interest of the
messages to the far north by which
fathers and mothers of the United
States keep in touch with their ex-
ploring sons up on the frozen tor
of the world.
These messages are all about the
same thing, the health of the fam
lily, the progress of those away al
school and the hope of an early re-
turn for those to whom the mes
sages are sent.
Life's interest and anxieties are
the same the world around.
If, as he declares, the Rev. Clar-
ence True Wilson really expects al
Republican statesmen at Washing
ton to obey the prohibition law be-
cause their party'S platform de-
clared for it, then he is far too in
nocent a soul to dwell upon this
Sin-cursed planet.
The psychologist must be inter
ested in the causes of these con-
demned murderers, who, on the one
hand, give every evidence of firm
faith in their sudden conversion
and on the other hand go to their
death, lying about their innocence
They probably lie to the very last
hoping for clemency, and feel that
if it fails to come, their professed
faith will carry them to safety.
The most amazing thing in life
is the notion of men that they can
actually buffalo an all-wise Creator

The F,etter Plan
avoid llysteria,

Arv effort to collect state funds by levying taxes
on cqarets theater tickets and other so-calieo
uxuries is at the best rather desperate et1ort 10
hide the fact that the story of large SURPRISES IN
the state treasury hawked assiduously during the
last campaign, had no basis in fact
The people were told that despite his plea of the
statute of limitations to Indictment for attempted
bribery Governor Jackson had been great admin
fstrator and that he had kept the states pocket
book full.
Now it appears that the cash box is not only
empty but shy couple of millions of dollars.
Every cent spent by the state, whether it comes
from direct property taxes or is collected by speca
leves comes from industry. The bigger the burden
the harder it is any business to succeed and the
smaller will be the amounts that can be paid in
wages.
To levy a special tax anything is very similar
to the tactics of the yegg who holds gun against
the heart of some one he suspects of having money
and ordering him to deliver.
Instead of trying to find methods of col
lacting money which will not arouse Indignation,
effort should be directed to spending less.
Some of the proposals are unnecessary and should
be eliminated.
The suggestion that the state pay $4,000 for
a new executive manson comes at rather inoppor-
tune time
just why the state should purchase $4,000 auto
mobile for the Governor is yet to be explained. Very
many citizens ride in much less expensive machines
and there is nothing in the constitution which makes it
imperative that the state furnish any automobile to
the tsef executive He might be expected to furnish
his own.
wien there is every possibility, unless the legs-
ators are stopped by the people, that there will be
raised five or six millions of dollars each year
for good roads, caution suggests that the legislature
should 90 slow in adding more burdens
Instead of more taxes, the better plan might be
70 cut expenses. The farmers and other productive
occupations are standing about all the taxes they
can bear For such government the state has had
in the past. the cost has been entirely too high

Story of a Farm Girl

TALIFORNIANS sitting in their
~ parks where the grass is green
and the shrubbery bursting into
bloom, get great kick out of read
ing such things. It is not the
suffering that thrills them, however,
but the contrast.
Turkey figures large in local head
lines not only because Leon Trotski,
former war lord of Russia and
bosom friend of Lenin, is seeking
asylum with Mustapha Renal, but
because the federal judge in San
Francisco has just repatriated Sidi
Writ Spreckles.
The story of Sidi Writ Spreckles,
though not finished as yet, reads like
a wild impossible yarn. If told in a
movie it would be put down as just
so much more Hollywood hokum.
A Kansas farm girl, Sidi Writ be-
gan by marrying a newspaper man
after having Tilted a Brazilian mil
lionaire, whom she shortly divorced,
to become Mrs. Spreckles.
Spreckles died while she was SUI
ing him for divorce which shows
how the best of Intentions can mis-
carry.
She then married Suad Chakir,
son of the former sultan of Turkey,
becoming a princess but without any
throne to inherit since he and all
his tribe had been ousted to make
way for Mustapha KemaPs republic.
About year ago she came back
to this country, refusing to return
and resume her duties as chatelaine
of a BoSphorus palace, though or
dered to do SO by her royal spouse
and was divorced by him in conse-
quence.
Now she is a plain American citi-
zen once more, still young and hand
some enough not to give up hope
of future triumphs, nor justify So
ciety editors in discarding her as a
source of good copy.

College Miss Is Big Girl Nozg

Co-incidental with the changes
in measurements, there has been
an increase in physical development
associated with outdoor sports.
Furthermore, fashions have
changed, so that no longer is there
any instance on the wasp-like waist,
nor on long, heavy, tight clothes.
The decreasing rate in weight
increase is expressed to a certain
extent by the feminine prediction
for thin figure and by the craze
for dieting in recent years.
A comparison of the Vassar girl
with the American girl in general,
according to average measurements,
indicates that the VasSar girl is al
most an inch taller. weighs four
pounds less, and her waist is a lit
tie over an inch smaller than the
average American girl.
Compared with the British fac
tory woman, she is three inches tall
er, and weighs fourteen pounds
more. Compared with the English
college girl, she is one and half
inches taller and six pounds heavier.

step in the study of sunlight was taken by Joseph
Fraunhofer whose brilliant and tragic career is one of
the most interesting in the history of astronomy
On July al, 1901, the Elector Macmillan Joseph
happened to be walking along street in Munich
when he Witnessed the collapse of two old houses All
the occupants but one killed blythe accident
The one to escape was young boy by the name OF
Joseph Fraunhofer.
The elector moved by the obvious distress of the
boy gave him IS ducats which he happened to have
in his pocket. The boy used part OF the money to
purchase his freedom from looking-gass manufac-
turer to whom he had been apprenticed
With the rest he purchased books and machinery
for polishing lenses. In time the youth became the
most skifu lenS-rnaker in all Europe, grinding
lenses for the largest telescopes
In addition, he became authority upon the sub
.ect of OPTICS devising and performing many expert
Inents of the utmost Importance But the hardSh1ps
of his younger days told him and death cut short
his brilliant career when he was only &c.
But before he died he performed the fundamental
experiments upon which the branch of science known
as spectroscopy was founded
Rarely has Is ducats ever paid the dividends which
the world received from the Is which the eector gave
to Fraunhofer.
Our knowledge of the might have been retarded
century or more but for the fact that Fraun-
hofer obtained the opportunity to carry on his own
work in his way.
We shall see next What Fraunhofer's discoveries
were and what the modern spectroscope is.
