Captain Frank N. Banning has just been named chief game warden in Con- necticut. He comes to his new work well equipped In fact since the death of A. Joseph Williamson he has beeh acting as chief warden. For 30 years he was asso- ciated with the state board of fisheries and game. That should give him more than passing knowledge of what his work is. We're inclined to think that he'll con- tinue the fine regime of the late MT Williamson.

Dr. Morris Fishbein declares that poor ventilation is responsible in great part for deaths due to carbon monoxide gas poisoning. And since during the winter season windows are kept closed most ot the time deaths occur more frequently then It is interesting to note that carbon monoxide gas may be produced when wood, coal, coke, Illuminating gas or gas oline are burned. Says Dr Fishbein, Small amounts of carbon monCxide cause headache and other symptoms; large amounts produce death. :. The chief domestic appliances involved in the rec ords of carbon monoxide poisoning are heaters, without flues, used in bedrooms and occasionally kitchen gas range or hot plate. Deaths have been reported among persons in closed rooms who use charcoal in bucket for heating pur- poses. It is said that Benjamin Franklin developed the stove and the furnace and gave the patent rights to the world ill 175O because he realized the dangers to life from this gas. The flue gas from an ordinary furnace will cause poisoning when this gas gets into the air. This, obviously, is what happened to the boys at Dartmouth. -"

Quite In Keeping

Interesting facts were brought to light at the testimonial banquet rendered Com pensation Commissioner James M. Lynch Thursday night by the Waterbury Bar Association that reveal how logically our lives are sometimes bound up with our actions. The new commissioner in the fifth congressional district was member of the House of Representatives at the legislative session of 1913. This session IS notable because both houses passed unall- imously our present compensation act.
 He admitted in his speech of apprecia- tion that he played humble part Tn drawing up the compensation law, but paid his respects to Attorney John F. McDonough of Naugatuck who was the Senate leader at the 1913 session and who, as chairman of the judiciary con- mittee, reported out the compensation law bill. Judge John F. McGrath was Water
 bury's senator that year, the city having only one senatorial district. Judge Me Grath was member of the judiciary com mittee, as was also Attorney William E. Thoms who represented the city together with Commissioner Lynch in the House.
 Just twenty-one years after the enact ment of our state compensation act one of those legislators, who so enthusiastic ally voted for it and worked for it, IS called upon to administer it right in our own midst. Who says that events do not work in circles? If ever there was con- nected series of events it is these we have just described. And all of the above men, toned gentlemen were present Thursday night when Waterbury's legal fraternity paid homage to the new compensation commissioner. Judge McDonough even officiated in the capacity of toastmaster. It's really very small world after all.

floating down TO Astolat, was the
pattern of the touching and beau
tiful conduct appropriate to a
4 woman who had loved and lost.
Although she might, with almost
equal propriety, close herself up in
the house, have a nervous break
down and spend the rest of her
days grieving over a packet of fad
ing love letters and remaining
faithful to an old memory.
The romantic ideal also had strict
4 rules for the behavior of a man in
4 the face of his lady loves unkind-
! ness. He could drown himself for
her sake, leaving a touching note of
4 forgiveness. Or he could turn
4 grimly off to Africa to risk his life
in any reckless enterprise that
4 promised a sudden heroic death. To
go on living. and even living nor
mally, was the sign of a frivolous
nature.
The modern attitude is less in
4 clined to believe in the nobility of
. losing all for love.
UnhappineSS MOurned
We do not urge our unhappy
friends to run away from their ex-
q perience to a convent or a foreign
continent or to the river.
7 We suggest, instead, that they fall
Nback on whatever other interests
and friendships they have eStab-
= liShed and think as little as posi-
BILE about their unhappiness.
Nobody can read Of a mans or
a wOman's suicide for love without
sympathy. But it is sympathy for
the unhappiness that led up to the
chosen. Such a death seems to us
a waste of human life and of years
which might, after all, have been
rich and varied and happy ones.
Other Interests Necessary
For the predicament of the mod
ern woman who bases all of her
happiness on the single emotion of
love is highly precarious one.
If she lacks the religious fervor
on which her grandmother could
drop back, if she has no close and
devoted family or lifelong friends,
then she must, in f-protection,
have some work. There must be
something that will survive the
shock of a disappointed love and
help her to feel that life has, after
all, some meaning left.
We do not look upon suicide today
as the proof of depth of emotion.
We look upon it as a very unfortu-
nate and bad solution for a situa-
ton out of which the person with
a rich store of interests can emerge,
X1th a considerable store of cheer
/fulness left, at the end of surpris-
ingly few months.

Solution to PreUiOuS
Contract Problem
BY w. E. M'KENNEY,
Secretary American Bridge League

Secretary American Bridge League
A RE you always on the alert to
L n make the most of your oppon-
ents' mistakes? Or to play hand
for the extra trick after receiving a
favorable opening? That is where
the real fun comes in bridge.
There really isn't a great deal of
fun in just playing laydown hand.
OF course, the first thing you must
do is to make sure of your contract,
but if you then can make an extra
trick, while the number of points
gained may not be many, they build
up your spirit and break down the
morale of your opponents.
James Cross of Erie. Pa, shows
us a neat triple squeeze play in to-
days hand to make seven odd, after
receiving a favorable opening.
The bidding is an example of slow
and deliberate exchange of informa-
ton which North requires to arrive
at his rather optimistic contract of
six no trump.
A HEART opening will hold the
L n hand to six odd.
However, a diamond was opened
against Mr. Cross. East's jack forced
his queen. He Immediately returned
a small diamond and f1nessed the
ten, which held.
The ten of hearts was led from
dummy and the queen flnessed,
which held. A club was won in dunn
my with the queen, and the ten of

A WOn1an:S Vie7UbOint
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

Its the same old marriage to-
day that it was when grandmother
was girl" says DR.. Howard
Chandler Robbins, chairman of
the committee on marriage and
the home for the federal council
of churches. But is it, DR.. Rob-
bins? Are our difficulties similar to
those which confronted grandma
and grandpa? 1 don't think so.
The entire aspect of society
has changed within the last thirty
years, and the adjustments to be
made in marriage are, therefore,
wholly different and very greatly
increased. And if we go on saying
we have only the old things to
face, you may be sure we never
shall be able to overcome them,
because the old answers will not
fit the new problems.
The status of woman has
changed, which alters the frame
work of marriage. Economic and
social life do not at all resemble
the old.
We have, to be specific, come to
a time when, in order to give
both husbands and wives the emo
tional satisfactionS of parent
hood - simple and natural
enough thing for our grandparents
-multitudeS of women have got
to work outside the home. An
enormous PERCENTAGE of wives. if
they want to be mothers, are
obliged to go into the economic
field, simply because one person
alone can no longer earn enough
to support three people.
Living conditions are not so
good for happy marriage as they
once we're. Congestion prevails in
the cities while the country woman
rightfully resents a condition
which makes possible all sorts of
labor saving devices and comforts,
but denies them to her because
she happens to live on a farm.
But the greatest of all changes
is in our moral attitudes. If we
said they were the same as those
believed in by grandma, we should

@. Did dinosaurs have brains inside
their big, bulging bodies?
A. Not exactly, but remains show
that in addition to the small space for
the brain in the head. there was Gin
many cases) a far larger space for a
bundle of nerve cells in the backbone.
This points to an enlargement Of the
spinal cord.
The roof lizard had 20 times as
much space for the nerve bundle as for
the brain. Whatever thinking" was
done must have been carried on in the
head, but the nerve bundle may have
controlled movements of many muscles.

Dinosaur Questions.
w YHAT was the tyrant lizard
v v A. II ran on two feet and
pulled long tail behind it.
Remains show that the hind
Kegs were large and powerful, but the
front legs or arms" we're short and not
fitted for anything but grasping or
clawing. It stood from 18 to 20 feet
high.
@. Did it have a large head?
A. Yes! A large head with much
bone and little brains! The skull was
4 feet long and had teeth from to 6
inches in length. The teeth prove that
the animal was a f1esh-eater, and it
has been called the most terrible
engine Of destruction that ever lived"
@. How about the great big dino
saurs like the thunder lizard? Weren't
they dangerous fighters?
A. The long dinosaurs had size and
weight, but they must have been SLOW
moving. and their teeth were better
fitted for plant-eating than for flesh
eating. Their heads were smaller than
those of tyrant lizards.
@. Were the other dinosaurs afraid
Of the tyrant lizard?
A. They must have been. To save
their long necks, the thunder lizards
probably took to the water when they
saw a tyrant lizard coming near them

Q. What animal had the best defense
against the tyrant lizard?
