Pity the Psychologist with
 Indigestion

Editor New Britain Herald
 Dear Sir
 Pardon me for again taking space in your paper.
 You see I have a bad case of in digestion, from living in New Brit ain and the only way l can relieve it. is by picking on your editorials, although at that, I believe you do more thinking than the rest of the city. Your fault Is that you don't understand about Psychology
 Take your editorial, Boys" They appear to be quite problem and they are. l know for I have two but they are not bad boys, neither are other peoples boys. bad, at least not until they are over 14 years old. Even then they are not bad, all though they appear as if they were
 All the things mentioned in your article as being done by boys does not prove them bad, although it makes a parent feel he would beat them good and plenty. and usually that is what is done, although he would not do it to a colt, that is, unless he wanted a vicious horse or a lifeless one.
 That old saying. Spare the rod and spoil the child" has caused more men to be hung and others to commit crime than all the booze ever drank and I'm not boosting booze either
 The whole trouble is, that we don't understand why We do cer- tain things ourselves and if we don't understand ourselves, its a tough job teaching others.
 When the parent makes a mis- take at his work, it is not done with intent 10 do wrong and he feels bad about it, but if the boss gives him a call perhaps before his fel- low workmen, telling him he is a numb head and car eless. doesn't know anything and never will, he just naturally thinks that boss is q little God or at least he must think that way from the way he talks to his boy and the boy he likes it so well that he tries to help the old man out by going to the reform school, that Is after he has tried being arrested a few times.
 l don't suppose this idea will set we'll with some people. They will say that's all bosh my father used the rod and I guess it did me no harm Perhaps it did not--but I wonder

 If one is inclined to feel super. stitious and plays lunches on th' stock market, it would do we'll tl consider the figure eleven. We ar, on the eve of observing the eleventh celebration of the Armistice whicf was put into effect the eleventh houi of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. It seems strange, indeed that the stock market drop ap. breaches the sale price as about eleven times the earning power oi the stock.

BlOssOming of Flowers Again One Of Natures Phenomena

The flowers that bloom in the spring tra la. have nothing on the flowers which are blooming this fall. ha. ha.
 In all parts of the city the mod crate weather has caused bushes to spring to life. Lawns on streets on which the sun beats throughout the day are covered with dandelions, or were when this was written. Holly hooks are in flower and roses are beginning to uncurl their silken petals.
 Recent rainfalls followed by warm days have encouraged the flowers to bloom again. Hard night frosts ap- pear not to have daunted them al though f1oraculturists claim that there is danger Of plants being de- stroyed by the return of Mother Ma ture with her spring clothes on.

 When the management came to me and asked me to let her have that room as a favor to them, that's just what I said. l don't mind, said, hope I have more sense. If it's going to make her any happier and if it's going to make things any easier for you. I said, then let her have il, Give it to her, I said. What does if matter to me where l dress :? What does it matter where anyone dresses? It's what you do on the stage that counts. And if having the first dressing room is going to make her give better performance. then she should have it. They thought l was wonderful to feel like that, but as I said to them, why shouldn't l :? Why shouldn't l, I said, if you're willing to pay me the salary you're paying me for @ small part like this, why shouldn't I cooperate with you?

Children Trying for Prizes
 Prompted by Desire to HeIn

'Hiptti ny DtSiTt lb I1eln 'I'd
 The recent national advertising products contest featured by the Herald has some interesting side lights furnished by the younger ele- ment. The Herald has always been friend of the children, taking the stand that what interests them, in terests the parents. Legion of chil- dren took a chance on a prize.
 The prizes were large enough to add pathos to the answers for a child never failed to take the judges into his confidence. If the s125 prize or any Of the lesser prizes were won, one little chap was going to get Pa" out of jail. Another little girl was going to buy groceries, while another was going to give party. Many were going to help Pa to buy an automobile, but the majority leaned toward helping mother out in her efforts to keep the family together. In every case, not a single fb was written down, which speaks well for the slogan: For the truth, go to a child"
 n itNIlt 5lll ol dbOuJ u tTltu to vamp the judges by telling them what good fellows they were and to be sports and give her a prize. Little girls used flattery while the boys leaned toward humor It's sure bet that every child competing had the money all spent
 On amusing incident connected with the contest was a drama enact ed by two boys and a little fellow much younger. The boys evidently worked hard on the contest, doing it with great secrecy from little brother. With great pomp the con- test requirements were handed in. Three minutes passed when the little fellow came in with his offering, an essay of words which could not be read. One of the judges happened to be at the desk and asked the little tot where he lived and what was his name. He showed a name and address on sheet of paper. He wouldn't talk, but it was discovered that he had no objection to eating ice cream and carrying oranges. His only comment when his two older friends appeared was: T ~on," and away he went sharing his candy with two others who will always let him in on secret.
 Every contest run so far by the Herald has developed human in- terest story which tends 10 make the task of judges just a mite easier.
