State Corps To Be
 Increased; Citys s
 Allotment Unknown
New Setup for EnOIIees Explained To-day By Select ing Agent Van Burer Possible Criminal Records
 to Be Checked-P Physical Exams to Be Essential

An entirely new setup whereby applicants for the CCC will be carefully investigated by Mutual Aid workers as to their eligibility for relief was explained to-day at Lincoln house by B. H. Van Bu- ren, state selecting agent for the corps. Mir Van. Buren said that while he had no definite informa- ton on quotas, it had been esti- mated that the strength of the corps in Connecticut would be in- creased by at least $500. He was unable to say how many enrolees would be accepted from Waterv bury.
 Classifications Listed
 Under the new plan each appli- cant will be classified in one O. three ways. Class 1, which will be given preference, are appli- cants coming from families on the relief lists; class 2, will be those known as "border-hne cases" and class non-relief cases.
 Borderline cases, MT Van Buren explained, were those whose fam lilies were not on relief because one or more members were employd but who were having difficulties in maintaining an adequate stand ard of living. Applicants from such families will be selected after relief cases are cared for.
 Each applicant will also be care fully checked for possible crim- inal record. New forms provided for candidates stress the import ance of truthful answers to ques- tions on time spent in correctional institutions. State and national officials in chrage of enrolment for the coming term have laid par ticular emphasis on good character as a qualification for admission to the corps.
 Physical Exams Necessary
 Another innovation outlined by MT Van Buran to-day has to do with the physical condition of ap- plicants. Each man will hereafter be given a preliminary physical examination at Lincoln House be- fore being sent to New Haven for the final checkup. In this way rejections for physical disability will be reduced to a minimum number at New Haven.
 The names of 300 prospective candidates for the June enrollment have been submitted to Hartford headquarters by Wallace J. Inglis, assistant selecting agent for the Waterbury district. Of the entire group 250 may be classified as re- lief cases and most of the remain ing number "border-line," MT Ing lis said.
 Enrolment for the new quota will begin June. IT. The age limit for the new term will be 1928, in- stead of 1925 as it has been in the past.

IF YOU read the papers you know
that the birth rate was higher in
the United States during the past
Il year than 1t has been for years
and years So, that the little darlings
will be adequately attired when they
are uShered into this world, which
makes such a to-do about what one
wears, We present the most essential
articles of the well-dressed baby'S
wardrobe. There are other things that
should be included, of course, but
dresses and kimonos, and slips, and

PriceTags
OF Life Are
Hard to Pay
No Escape Available
When Bills Come
for Payment.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

THERE is a price ticket on every
thing in this world. That fact
daNns on one with the years when
the bills come in. II we had known
what the price was to be and how
inconvenient and sometimes painful,
we would have let that particular
article remain untouched and un-
claimed.
Youth never looks at the price tags.
I doubt that youth has the power to
read them, or to interpret them, in
most instances. But We who have
picked and chosen what we thought
we would like and have paid AMI are
paying the prices for them, might
now and then be able to say word
of warning.
Eating whatever looks good, for
example, is joyful experience until
the bill comes in and collects itself
in terms of illness, lost power pain,
disease. We might warn the children
and tell them that some day, years
and years from now, all this sugar,
starch and spicing will rise again
and mock them.
Many of us do "dig our graves with
our teeth" Staying up late night
after night, snatching sleep at odd
moments, oversleeping on Sunday to
make up for Friday and Saturday
night. is certain to present a bill in
staggering terms. Nerves demand rest.
They rest best under the spell of
sleep. No sleep. no rest, and youth
lives and moves and has its being
at the will of the nervous system.
Sessions in the hospital, lost time, lost
positions. lost hope, sickness of body
and mind are the price of lost sleep.
Indulgence in the satisfaction of ap-
petites Of all sorts promises great de-
light, and if one does not look at the
price tag life can be a joyous adven-
ture To eat whatever and whenever
one likes and as much as one likes, to
dance all night and play all next day,
to make love. to gather sweetness while
the flowers bloom, as fast and as much
as possible regardless of anything ex-
cept the fun. brings high price. The
candid eyes are soon clouded and
furtive. The once fine figure bulges,
takes on lines that are ugly because
designed by greed, gluttony and excess.
Everything has its price and the price
of folly is lost health, lost beauty. lost
character. The payment must be
made in sorrow, humiliation and pain.
1t is not smart to destroy the beauty
of life. Beauty, too, has its price, and
it is high. Beauty demands abstinence,
self-control, discipline and service. He
who longs for beauty in his being must
serve beauty, and that service is in
some respects rigid. Hea dlong youth
asks for good time, scorns the
caution and the care and the
abstinence beauty requires. The end
is failure.
Beauty'S service may be rigid, but
it is not failing. Persisted in it be-
comes delightful way of living. The
bill seems high at first, but it is paid,
as the days go by, in terms of satisfac-
ton, happiness and content There
is no dark day Of reckoning ahead
and each day grows sweeter. Youth
may not understand, but we might
speak word Of caution and show
the price tag hidden so cunningly
under the roses.
