St Valentines Day will be here before We know 1t and this year the usual dinner parties and lunch cons will be made moro attractive by the adaptation of glittering table ordnaments to the general festivity of such occasions. "Cello- phane" is used for the centerpiece above, in the form of ruffles out lining two wire hoarts fashioned back to back on a tall candle. The effect Is striking.
 To construct the centerpIece, two hearts are made, each one taking 3G inches of heavy wire. These wires are wrapped two or three times until about u quarter of all inch thick with pink crepe paper, leaving two inches at each end un- wrapped. Then the ends are twist cd or wired together, paper

COLONIAL IDEA IS ADAPTED
 TO MODERN

New York.-Now that families are reunited in homes, whether thcv are there from choice or just because they cant afford to go places and see things Is Inmate rial.
 The thing to do is to mako the home so attractive that the habit will last,
 Dining rooms have increased im- portance this year. There is some thing magic in the charm of a home-cooked meal served in pleas ant surroundings that makes such hospitality remembered long,
 Modern Ensemble
 White dining rooms are the new est kind you can have. Chaste white walls, white curtains, white woodwork, or polished pine, and pure white table linen is consid- cred smart once more. Against this background, you can let your love of color run riot in your drapes, your rugs, your china and table decorations. And the ensem- blc gives you a certain restful beauty that highly-colored walls never achieved.
 Combined with white walls, no furniture is more appropriate and as inexpensive as American maple.

amount of money involved In the project it ls easy to understand that. And certainly it lsn't a bad plan to build lt Ia sections, lt will enable these sections Go De used while the others are being built. lf the entire job was tackled at once it probably would mean that the road from end to end could not be travened. But it Is not our intention to argue the merits of the present plans. New Haven county is naturally not going to be affected by the road as much as will Fairfield. Still 1t Is a state job and must be considered as such.
 Another complaint was that the presen, t@n of construction differed from the orig. inal in that there will be no parkway eparat. ing lanes of traffic. That Is due to the fact that present plans call for only construction of one traffic lane. But this lane will be sufficiently wide to accommodate traffic go. ing in both directions. When the second lane is built the parkway in the middle will be there. Of course. Fairfield county has been waiting 50 long for this super high. way that it is naturally disappointed to find that 1t can't be taken out of magieian's hat. But the rest of us are tiekled just to get the glad tidinss the road will start.

National Health Work

Addressing the International Hospital Association at the Pasteur Institute in Paris Paul Daniel Nelson, architect and health center director. urged plan for eentralizing health work under government control in every country. His plan calls for "a regional health city for every 5,o00.0o0 inhabitants a division center for every l00,. 900 persons, and one dispensary for every 2,500 persons" There would be yearly physical examinations for Everyone, old and young. with advice as to suitable vacations and recreation. Individual health records would not only be valuable to the individual but would provide material for better under standing of general health needs.
 In the health eenters there would be every sort of aid to health, such as facilities for swimming, Turkish bSths, gymnastics. artifi. eial sun treatment and various water treat. ments Without complete report of the address it is impossible to understand all the details of the plan. Pribably no nation is ready for such sweeping government control of health facilities Yet it is true that emphasis on health is increasing every. where and that the promotion and eonserva. ton of health are regarded as just as import ant as curing disease.

ing the stage. So since as Petru- chio and Hamlet and Romeo and Francois Vi!lon he has been gone for some years now, perhaps more than on anything else thls final curtain rings down on q tradition of that loved team of Sothern and Marlowo and on that of tho Ideals of Il magnificent parsonage.
 Ordinarily on such occasions as this there Is speculation on W,tO will Do the ono worthy to 'hll the old place, to succeed to the mantle. If there Is full acceptance of the idea that the romantIclsm Is gone, then on this occasion such speculation Is shut off. 1ntermit- tent revIvals hardly demand n figure of Sotherns magnitude. to say nothing of not being able to support one. In the minds of those who knew him in his day as the greatest of all, there could be no replacement anyway.
 One of the fine things about Sothern's career was tho way his artistry and that of the plays in which he appeared were brought to the hinterland, not confined to the metropolitan view. Dur ing the years in which he went on tour. through It's acquaintance with him Q great part of America received the real acquaintanceswith the masterpieces of stage literature, Q familiarity and appreciation which they could hardly have re- ceived otherwise. He was m edu- cator to American youth. New Ha- ven welcomed his visits, and there is regret in the final realization that 1t can welcome him no more.

The Real Foundation

A way back in the days of the Roman empire, when the Caesars were worried by a steadyily rising tax rate and slow stasna. ton of business, the populaee was kept quiet by judieious mixture of bread and games. The government undertook to feed the hun sry. bringing in great shploads of wheat from Alexandria. And since Rome was full of unemployed. great sladiatorial shows were staged frequently in the coliseum, to keep the proletariat's mind off its troubles. The upshot. as everybody knows was that nobody worried about anything and the empire finally collapsed of its own weight.
 All this ancient history is mentioned here because there are people who think some. thing similar is happening in America today. President A. H. Upham of Miami University told an Ohio teachers convention the other day that right now we are in a fair way to slide down to the old Roman level. On one hand we have vast masses of people whose first interest is in getting enough to eat and who are looking to the federal govern- ment to meet that need. On the other. we have developed q craving for eireus type of entertainment world series games great football contests. alterations such as marathon dance contests. esooners. fsn dancers and the grotssqusrics of professional boxing and wrestling matches.
 The result, says President Upham, is that we are apt to forget the values that really matter--self.denial, service, idealisn. . taste for literature and art, and SO on. There is no question that you could make out good ease for psssmism, if you chose. We do support lot of "entertainmsnts" that seem to have been drawn up by and for morons. And yet it is very easy to assume that these things matter more than really is the case.
 There is plenty of froth on the surface of American life. heaven knows But beneath it all there flows . swift, deep, and power. ful current = an awareness of life's real problems, a determination to do something effective about them. an idsalism that will respond whenever anyone makes . proper appeal to 1t. The biggest mistake anyone could make to day would be to assume that the great mass of the populaee is needless and fiippant. Underneath. there is driving fierce and seriousness of purpose that never should be forgotten.

Wholesale Matrimony

The biggest wedding party since the i'm. promptu affair of the Sabine women has just been held in Italy. Two thousand marriages were held simultaneously in and near Rome. In the ancient city itself $50 couples met in one church for nuptial mass and received the bensdietion, then marched to Fascist headquarters for huge wedding breakfast. There they received gifts from the Preimier. It is part of the Dues's cam. paign for the regeneration of modern Italy and the growth of population and power.
 Mussolini evidently has ''put one over" on Hitler. The latter will doubtless be following suit before long. He will be handicapped. though. by his self-imposed difficulty in finding SO many couples all at once who can prove the requisite Nazi requirements of pure Aryan grandparents. Mussolni. a well educated man, who knows something about ethnology and race mixtures ehcerfully ignores the past and assumes that native matrimonial candidates are good Italians.

A Gay Tale Of An Australian Town

 It points no moral md draws no icsson-unless, possibly. 1t be that Fate con use m extremely un' worthy instrument to accomplish her ends.
 The setting is q small town In Australia. Wo are introduced to divers persons, all of whom have managed to get off on the wrong foot.
 There's the young scientist who, having persuaded himself that ho loves n somewhat feckless village girl, has abandoned his research and token to running chicken farm. There's q rich man who writes utterly worthless novels and ncglocts his charming wife.
 Theres a young British engineor who loves his wife dearly, but can't mako her believe it, because ho suffers from an excess of that tra' ditional British reserve.
 And there's q young lad whose courtshlp of q village girl is ham percd by tho fact that tho girls father won't let her out of tho house and won't let him In.
 Into this town there comes q young man from London--a rathor terrifying youngster. who has no inhibitions whatever, no moral standards, and no seruples. He jars the town like an northumberland unintentionaily knocks lnll thu scrambled bits of tho jissaw puSSlo into place.
 The scientist gets wise to him. self. deserts his farm, and goes back to his research. The novelist quits writing novels and dovotes himself to his wife.
 The engineer breaks through his reserve, and tho young villager marries his girl in spite of her par. cnt. Everybody's happy except the Londoner, who doesn't deserve to Do.
 It makes q mad. ironlc. and highly amusing tale. Published by Farrar and Rinehart, 1t sells for S2.60.

The Final Rites

The American Federation of Labor is be- ginning to collect museum exhibits on child labor, Shop bulletin board notices. pay envelopes, newspaper clippings photo. graphs, letters all sorts of things that show what child labor was and how it oper. ated are being assembled under the di. reetion of President William Green, SO that future generations can know just how the childhood of this nation was exploited Now the interesting thing about this move is the implication that goes with it. The federation is making this collection for the simple reason that 1t believes child labor to be definitely thing of the past.
 It believes that within a very few years child labor will be unknown in America; 50 it is laying away its exhibits while there still is time. And with the added interest in the proposed constitutional amendment we are inclined to believe that perhaps the federation is proceeding correctly. Certainly when an amendment comes to life as has this one in the last twelve months it is an indication of growing consciousness among our states that child labor after all is some- thing with which we want no relationship whatsoever. It's funny thing the way the child labor amendment has made a come. back.
 When it was first proposed to the various states for ratification in 1924 it had good sponsorship among various societies, but not where 1t counted for the most, namely, the legislatures. As result it was only adopted by six states with twenty.six rejecting it outright Some didn't even take any action. But number of those rejecting have already reversed themselves and. while the thirty.six < states necessary for ratification are not yet obtained it isn't a rash statement to claim that they will be. perhaps after prohibitions s repeal has been secured. Few things that : have happened this year have been of much more importance than this, victory over an ancient menace to national well-bcing.

Too Much For Us

Maybe it's the distance that affects our viewpoint but we must confess that we are not as disappointed over the plans for con. struetion of the Merritt Highway as are a good many people down in Fairfield eoun- .ty. Judging by recent newspaper reports from down there the plans which were is- sued from Governor Cross's office this week and accompanied by more comprehensive discussion of the problems of construction from Highway Commissioner Macdonald ere not what were expected. However the toad is to be started this winter and will be rushed until it is entirely completed. At least that is what our understanding is.

Governor Cross doesn't favor the new Merritt Highway being operated as toll road. For that matter we don't believe any. body in the state would want 1t as such if 1t could possibly be avoided. But so far as we know all suggestions for a toll road came from those of us who did not think that the road could be built immediately without falling back on some such financial recourse as this. It's fine if the state can find the whercwthall to finance this mighty project. It will involve at least $l5,000,- 900. But if the state wanted the parkway to pay for itself. then toll plan is by far the most sensible and logical one.
