Children's Books

Children's Book Week. now being ob- served has come to be an annual affair. with public libraries emphasizing ehildren's liter ature, and with book reviewers. publishers and stores all devoting little special atten- ton to juvenile literature. It isn't difficult: there is a perfect flood Of juveniles on the market to-day. some good. some bal, some mediocre. some fine old classics in new dress, and great many very new volumes.
 It is bewildering array for adults to con sider It IS far greater quantity of read ing matter than any child could hope ever to duetive of any sound advice and any authen- tic appraisal of this mass of literature. it ae- eomplshes something good. But there is too much to be done in one week. One book reviewer puts it very we'll when he says: Every week ought to be ehldren's book week. and your close attention to your ehildrens reading should be a daily. not an annual. affair"
 And remember this: You may lead child to good book, but you can't make him enjoy it. A good rule is to have good books around. both juvenile and adult. and let the child browse for himself. There isn't as much danger as some people imagine in letting children read books that are too old for them" Youngsters have way of jeeting the rest. If all the available reading material is really good. a ehilds taste will develop easily and naturally.

SINKING OF "CHAUNCEY"

On November 20, 1917, the U. s. S. Chauncey, a torpedo boat de- stroyer, sank, drowning 21 men fol- lowing a collision with the trans port Rose.
 Lieut. Com Walter E. Reno. who was in command, and his two junior officers, Lieutenant Charles F. Wedderburn and Ensign Harry c. Skinner. Jr, and IS enlisted men were lost.
 The Chauncey was one of the old type of destroyers, completed in 1902. It displaced 420 tons.
 Its complement included 91 of- ficers and men, and for several years before the war it had en- gagged only in coast defense serv- ice.
 Premier Lloyd-George of Eng land, speaking before the Ameri- can War Mission and the British war cabinet, said that the collapse of Russia and the reverses in Italy make it even more imperative than before that the United States send as many. troops as possible across the Atlantic as early as pos gible."

Due to the fact that it has not had con- sstent democratic representation in the House of recent years Connecticut will not profit by ehairmanships if the democratic party controls the House as is now confident ly expected. To the dominant party. of course. go all committee ehairmanships. The majority of these will go to southern states. since it is in this section of the nation that democratic congressman have been returned year after year to Washington. Texas alone will receive six chairmanships besides the spsakership. Alabama and Georgia each get four However. it is believed that there will be as wide distribution of chairman ships as is possible under existing eireum- stances. Northern and western states will get a good many important ones. Where one man holds the ranking place on two or more committees little shifting will en- able northern or western representatives to secure ehairmanship. Unfortunately for the republicans their seniority will count for nothing. Should Representative Tison. for example. lose the speakership and also the role of minority leader of his party. he wouldn't even retain senior republican ranking on any committee. There arc II states that will get no ehairmansbips due to the fact that there are no democratic repre- sentaiivvs in any of them. Ten have but a single democrat. Eight have no senior Tep- resentatives.

Arute Brothers, New Britain contractors. have again been declared the lowest bidder on Massachusetts road contract. We wonder if they will be given the same treat ment as they were some weeks ago when the Bay State Executive Council turned down their low bid in favor of the lowest one by a Massachusetts contractor. In the long run the Bay State will find this an expensive procedure and not to their best interests.
