New Haven has profited by expansion of state tuberculosis sanatoria facilities. says a recent report. Formerly the expense of maintaining patients awaiting entrance to various santoria ran as high as $2.000 a month for disqualification. That was when there were from 20 to 30 patients on the waiting list. Now there are none. New Haven then is fortunate. There are very few cities or towns that haven't few pa- tients waiting bed in the state institutions. Waterbury eliminated. this vexing problem by securing part of the eity's isolation hos pital as waiting station. And last year the state agreed to defray the expense of maintaining this institutes Of course. with 450 new beds now available in our five state sanatora there won't be the long wait ing lists there were in years gone by. But that shouldn't mean a relaxation in efforts to combat the dread disease We feel sure. though. that Connecticut a leader in this respect will never slow down. ."

The growing indifference of the people in political activities is as strange as 1t is deploraDle. The danger of the widespread "laissez faire" attitude generally manifested in the management of public af- fairs is no less marked than the evil of autocrac.
 The unpleasant consequences of despotism are equally realized in an absolute form of government.
 If the people at large had par ticipated with more keenness and earnestness in the political cam paigns and legislative ,enactments of the past, then actual crisis of governmental and municipal bank and heavier burdens upon anal have happened.
 In matters of politics, the major ity of the people on account of the absence of immediate advan- tage involved show the least in- terest.
 To the average citizen politics is but an economic institution in which the clever find a lucrative response to their ambitions for surprising to hear these days young power and prestige. It is not man of political aspiration, look upon the institution as a means for influence or easy money.
 The motive for social service or except on the platform for the pur- common veal is seldom mentioned pose of obtaining favorable vote. Once in office there is nothing else to be done but to seek the benefits and shirk the burdens. The most strenuous work the politicians per? forms is on election day when he brings voters to the polls.
 Politics from time immemorial. has been looked upon as an honor- able institution. The ideals of political life were held on no less basis than the professional one by both the Greeks and the Romans Of old. By reason of it's intimate re- lationship with the common welfare 1t stood upon the same footing as the leagl and medical calling. Tho truth that peace and order of q na- ton are at stake without the prop CT function of the political machin- cry, was universally appreciated by these supposedly less enlightened people.
 It seems that we must be brought face to face with tho effects of the evil before remedies are being pur- sued. We are inclined to remain In utter indifference to public dis- orders and are not moved to action until t is almost too late Tne e mother of inventoin" is often more true In the mass than In the indl-

with the A. F. of L. and holds that
 such affiliation is necessary in or der. to obtain the protection of which Uncle sams workers are i entitled.
 But the government employe has come at last to realize that the mere fact that he works for the government is not complete protec- ton against ups and downs such
 as happen to other workers. He is
 still by all odds relatively secure from large scale unemployment,
 but he can lose his job and will do so more frequently unless there is
 change in the present trend. Whenever normal conditions re- turn the federal service is likely to
 lose some of its best people, who
 have stayed on partly because their jobs seemed so safe.
 But the economy wave probably has increased the efficiency of the service for the very good reason that the employees now realize that if any wholesale firing begins it will be, the efficient ones who will stay. The bureau of foreign and domestic commerce already has decided that if it must resort to administrative furlodghs to keep within appropriations it will do so on a basis of efficiency ratings.

Charming rubbed his hands a minute as

he said. But I was surprised to hear you at

Channing's stern face to Dora. She picking

nervous fingers.
"Why-I am free, Mr. Charming The case

"Hof, don't want to appear cruel, but the

He felt tired, almost exhausted.
For eight days he had sat in the courtroom
muscles tense. nerves taut. sThen that over
whelming sweep of emotion when the foreman
of the jury had announced mot guilty"
He realized that it was his dream Of Dora
which had kept him steady made insignificant
those other things which now drove home and
weighed heavily upon him. He remembered
what the inmates of the Jail had said: a. .

CHARLIE HOFF walked dazedly down the
~ station steps. What was the use OF
arguing with them? Anyhow, Barclay knew
he was honest He had worked years for
Barclay, and Barclay had promised him part
nership in the garage. In two-three years maybe
he could save the money buy share In the
business and marry Dora and be happy always.
Dora had written him nearly every day while
he was in jail waiting for his trail. Her letters
had been the one bright spot OF those two long
months.
He knew most of them by heart. I
know you didn't do it, Charlie boy, and will
be waiting for you until you come out my
faith in you is not touched, because love YOU
more than anything earth. :"
He had seen her the first day OF the trial.
Whte-faced and big-eyed on a rear bench. She
had not appeared the second day, nor the next,
and Charlie had looked in vain for her during
the rest of the trial. Her letters had stopped
coming, too.
He comforted himself with the thought that
Dora must be sick. She must be, or she would
have written, come to his trial again. Maybe
he ought to send her some flowers.

"As I live, it's Charlie Hofl" Her fingers
were limp as they touched his for a moment
and slipped away.

"Is there chance of that famous apple pie Of

Mrs. Compson studied her worn nails.

and he looked up casually.

"Why-its Charlie Hoff!" Barclay wiped his
hands on bit of waste He picked up a wrench

I'm glad to hear you're busy" said Charlie,
walking towards him.
"Oh, I'm not busy" said Barclay hastily
Fact is, business has been pretty slack"
Think you can find enough for me to do?"
Charlie asked.
Barclay fumbled with the wrench again then
put it down firmly
That's what was trying to say. guess

Charlie Hof shifted uneasily. He clenched
his hands at his sides, then said frankly:
See here, Jim. You and me have been
friends. You know had no intention of hurt

free now-the law says I'm innocent-are you
going TO let it make a difference-?'
ITS got to make difference" said Barclay
doggedly. Il can't have you here. I'd lose my
trade I've heard people talking, and know
how they feel. It's tough on you, Hof, but
that's the way it stands"
Charlie Hoff bit his lip. He turned suddenly
on his heel and walked across the cement floor
Of the garage. He felt Barclays eyes on his
back as he walked into the sunshine of the
street.
He began to realize what the men at the Jail
had meant when they said, "They won't let
you go straight after this" The chief and
Burke had laughed when he told them he in
tended to work. Suppose he couldn't get work?
Suppose no one would hire him? What would
he do then-"go straight'-or what?
