That was not the way young
men were brought up, mind you.
At Harvard, Princeton and Yale you
could smoke yourself into a bad
state of catarrh and nobody said
Boo" You could also drink your
self into coma or stay out until
5 in the morning without receiving
so much as a disciplinary frown
from the authorities. You still can.
But at Vassar and other such
well-bred repositories of young
womanhood it was not considered
proper to smoke. Nor were you al
lowed to go driving unchaperoned
with any man who could not prove,
bv a letter from his mayor or pas
tor. his close family relationship.
You could not indulge your tastes
for the gaudy night life OF Pough-
keepsie after 10, nor go to New York
more than four week-ends a year.
Why you could not do these things
must remain forever a mystery.
Treated Like Children
Girls who go to college range in
age from II to %. Men who go to
college range in age from II to p.
But the discrepancy between the
freedom permitted to the two groups
is something which would make any
feminist seethe. In fact, it does.
The maturity Of the young won1-
en- of college years compares very IA
vorably with that of their brothers.
These girls are, on the whole, sew
eral shades less absolute, a number
of degrees more strait-laced, several
inches better able to take care OF
themselves. But they are still
treated like rather helpless and de-
linquent children at time when
their male contemporaries are per-
mitted most of the privileges OF
grown-up life.
For the last few decades philoso-
pliers have been pointing out the
fact that girls mature more rapidly
than men. For the last few n
turies our laws have assumed that
at 18 a woman is as capable of per-
forming the duties of citizenship as
her brother would be at 81. Why,
then, should girls have to submit to
this enforced chaperonage in col
leges and schools?
Alumna Calls for New Deal
The contemporary belief that
sauce for the goose is also sauce for
the gander has not as yet begun to
operate until both goose and gan
der have passed the mile-post of q.
It is assumed that there is a wide
difference between the conduct per-
Missile to a man and to woman
whose ages fall below that mark.
Personally, we favor the complete
elimination Of all campus rules
which are more paternaliStic than
those laid down by the local police
regulations. The girls who are at
tending Vassar today and tomor-
row are going out into a world where
no such compulsions hedge their
freedom around; they might just as
we'll, it seems, get used to savoring
the privileges and responsibilities of
liberty now.
In such colleges there is a ten
dency to reject any liberalization of
the rules on the plea that the
alumnae will raise an awful howl.
Just why the alumnae should have
any say has always been obscure,
but if they have here is one per-
fectly good alumna, with papers in
order, who says:
Let the undergraduates smoke if
they like. Let them drink if they
want to. Let them do anything at
all that a young man in college is
permitted to do

CONSUMPTION OF
 WATER INCREASES
February Billings This Year Better 1883 Mark
 By $2,962.3O

Water consumption in Water- bury is on the increase. This was disclosed last night at a meeting of the board of works when the monthly report on billings was filed by Superintendent Thomas j.. Fleming. The billings for the past month amounted to $44,173.76, which Is an increase of $2,962.30 over the figure for the same month in 1893. Furthermore, the billings for the first three months of this year show an increase of s4,781.94 over the figure for the same period last year.
 Last nights meeting was brief. No action was taken on the matter of awarding the contract for gar- haze collection. Commissioner James A. Phelan, chairman of the committee studying the bids, which were opened two weeks ago, re- ported "progress." There are many details in the bids yet to be studied,
 The bids were lengthy affairs and involved answers to over 30 questions. These various answers are being given heavy considera- tion, hence the failure of the com ,nittee to report last night. A re- port is expected in few days.
 Upon the recommendation Of Commissioner Albert Loeffler tho board voted to ask the aldermen for permission to enclose the brook which runs from Grandview ave- nue to Pierpont street. The com missioner explained that several children have fallen into the brook. This is not the place where the fatal accident occurred a week ago.
 Assistant City Engineer Charles S. Root stated that as the brook is on private property condemna- ton proceedings will have to be carried out.

DEMOCRATIC CLUB
 HAS ANNIVERSARY
National Organiza ii o n Formed 100 Years Ago;
 Dinner Next Month

Just one hundred years ago, in 1884, at a banquet in Fraunce's tevarn, New York, the National Democratic club was founded un- der the name of the Young Mems Democratic institute and it's aim was to foster, disseminate and give effect to the democratic principles and to commemorate the birthday of Thomas Jefferson the great foun- der the democratic party. Each and every year since then in un- broken succession the club has celebrated the event and William H. Hickin, president of the Na- tional Democratic club announces that the annual Jefferson dinner for 1894 will be held at Hotel Com- modore on Saturday, April 7th.
 The Honorable Homer s. Cum mings, United States attorney-gen- eral will be the chairman of the dinner and it is expected that in his remarks he will bring to the diners and the radio audience a message of much importance from the administration in Washington. Mir Hickin also announced that in- vitations to address the dinner had been sent to President Roosevelt, Governor Herbert H. Lehman, U. s. Senator Robert F. Wagner and Royal S. Copeland and other prom inent democrats. All speeches will be broadcast over a nationwide hookup.
 Among the members of the din- ner committee in addition to At torney- General Cummings, are Postmaster General James A. Far ley Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau, Jr., and .Su- preme Court Justices William T.. Collins and James T. Hallinan, Hon Frank l.. Polk and Surrogate James A. Foley. Col Alexander E.. Anderson is secretary and Michael J. Delehanty, treasurer.
 The vastly improved economical conditions in the United States are due in great measure to the adoption of many of the tenets of Thomas Jefferson by the demo- cratic administration in Washing ton in conjunction with several sound and courageous ventures in government by our peerless leader President Franklin D. Roosevelt and this dinner will mark the first milestone on the road to recovery. That 1t is an event of national im- portance is clearly demonstrated by the attendance in past years of men and women from nearly every state in the Union and reserve tions for the forthcoming dinner have already been received from residents of 12 of the 48 states of the Union.

heard addresses by MT Murray and Miss Kathleen Crowley, probation officer and director of the Wa terbury Girls Club. Patrick Wal lace, lecturer of Sherman Council. was host chairman and welcomed the guests of the society.
 MT Murray's subject was on the services of the Big Brothers and Boys Club program engaged in meeting the problems of the de- linquent and handicapped boy.
 Miss Crowley in her remarks paid tribute to the purpose of the movement and stated that a man could accomplish nothing more noble or inspiring than directing a group of boys into the right way of thinking and living. To furn-- ish ideas to engage the mind and body in leisure hours and to teach the value of vocation pursuits was in the opinion of Miss Crowley one of the most commendable projects ever undertaken by any organi- ization.

All attempts at "gleichschalt- ing" Caesar provde futile, and so he had to be given up.
 He was sent back to the Leipzig Zoo.
 The zoo however, happened to have another lion cub available when Caesar was returned, and promptly offered it to Goering as successor.
 Hitler's only pride as collector, on the other hand, seems to be his Alpine garden at Obersalzberg, near Berchtesgaden.
 Whenever he can escape from Berlin, he goes up to his garden and exiously inquires whether the plants are blooming.
 His gardener is often worried about securing plants in blossom.
 He is corresponding with all bo- tanical gardens in Germany,al- ways seeking plants blooming at unusual times.
 The botanical gardens, of course, gladly offer their rarest specimens for the chancellor's garden, which in the course of time has decebped into a valuable collection of exotic flowers.
