the average movie house when il
goes for the celluloid entertain

For instance the flashy movie
fronts are considered inartistic BY
the Fine Arts Commission and are
banned. Whe ther new neon
lighted signs will be permitted Is
still being pondered.
In addition the new leSses find
that the musicians who have a
grievance and a bill against the
Belasco since the Wee and Leven

whole American system of free education grew"
 The ancient school boasts fine list of pupil names, including John Hancock, Samuel Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Rob ert Treat Paine and William Hooper --all signers of the Declaration of Independence Ralph Waldo Emerson, Charles Francis Adams and later celebrities. George Santa yana, another graduate, once wrote of the institution: "In spite of all revolutions and all the pressure of business and all the powerful influences inclining America to live in contemptuous ignorance of the past, the Latin school has kept the embers of traditional learning alive, at which the humblest rushIight might always be lighted; has kept the hikhway clear for every boy to the professions of theology, law, medicine, and teaching, and window to open his mind from these times to all other times and from this place to all other places"
 That, of course, is what all true educa- tion does. If not all our public school sys- tems have lived up to them at all times, the ideal and tradition have been there, at any rate. Today when Americans have been shocked to find thRt financial troubles have closed many public schools and short ened the terms and narrowed the courses of many others, it is necessary to keep in mind the fundamental importance of free education in our national life.

A Thought for Today
Should Be Done

We sincerely trust that the efforts of the special committee named by the Board of Health this week to contact the State Tuberculosis Commission with the idea of having the state maintain the city's Isola- ton Hospital on Watertown avenue as part of the state system of tuberculosis relief will prove successful. There IS a selfish and an unselfish motive behind such action. We will treat the former first.
 Waterbury would like to have the main tenance of this white elephant taken oft it's hands to-day in the interest of econ ory. There is no practical use for the hospital by the city now nor has there ever been one since the institution was built at tremendous cost. If conditions had AAever warranted it's daily use, we feel sure sthat the medical fraternity of the city ..would have insisted upon it long ago. Hence we have the selfish motive of de- string to unload something that IS just scivic asset.
 The unselfish motive is that the hospital Scan be utilized very nicely as waiting Astation for patients seeking admission to Sthe several state sanatoria. It served Such a noble purpose for quite few years. For time the Waterbury Anti-Tubercu- islosis Society maintained the hospital as
 
 through annual subscriptions and dona- Hions. When it no longer was possible to keep this extra service going, the society and city combined to secure state aid. This also was denied due to financial conditions in time.
 Whether the state is any better fixed now to operate the hospital as a, waiting station or as some integral part of the sanatoria, we could not say, but the fact remains that if Connecticut is to maintain her proud record as the leading state in fhe campaign against the dread disease, she must take advantage of just such pro- posals as this one emanating from Water bury. In view of the vast amount of good That could be accomplished by using the Hospital, as it was so successfully for good many years, we do not think that 4he selfish motive behind the proposition should be considered.

Vienna Letter
BY F. c. M. JAIN

United Press Stan Correspondent)
 Vienna (UP)--Alexander Pokol once the richest man of the Bal kans, who presented King Ferdi. hand and Queen Maria of Ru- mania with crowns of solid gold. died in complete poverty fin Buda- pest recently.
 The story of his life reads like fiction.
 Pokol, 45 years ago. was sim .ple school teacher in the little town of Borpatek, Hungary.
 Decades before, this district had been a gold mining center. The gold fever never has died out there.. A handful of gray-bearded diggers, who will not be discour- aged by hundredfold failures, still persist in the hope that, one day. they will strike a rich vein of the precious yellow metal.
 UOwry Gold Claim
 The young schoolmaster seemed immune against he fever until he married "a. poor peasants s daughter whose only dowry was 8 gold claim which the family had iconsidered valueless and therefore long ceased to exploit.
 Pokol, trusting blindly to his luck, not only invested his whole wages in the exploitation of the claim, reserving only a small part to cover the bare necessities of life of the young couple, but he even contracted debts. with a wealthy grocer to pay the two men whom he had engaged to- dig.
 When the debt had run up to several hundred guilders and no trace of the precious metal had been found, the grocer lost his con- fidence in the promised golden harvest and told Pokol, when he came for a new loan: s
 'aThis is the last guilder, will risk in your enterprise; hencefroth do not expect another red penny from me-"
 With this last guilder, exactly as in a cheap novel, the school teacher made his luck.
 The Strike
 On the eve of the day on which he had decided to give up, his workmen struck Q vein of gold, two fingers thick.
 Overnight the poor school teach- CT had become g millionaire. This was in 1894.
 Pokol gave aup school teaching, He built himself magnificent castle near his home, town, bought q. palace fin Budapest and kept Q racing stable. F+s
 Whenever he came into a res taurant, nobody else was permit ted to pay 8 bill. He called in glpsy musiciens, and the costliest wines and foods were lavishly served at his cxpene.
 Kind to Poor
 To the poor he threw gold and silver coins. Sometimes, when he had given away all the money in his pockets, he would tear off one Of fife gold buttons from his coat aud give it 40 a besBafs
 He was known far and wide as ihe '1oid King of slebenbuaggen." 1"

 NEW ERA
 The Capitol Hill stage is now set for new MIRA legislation.
 The strong. early session sen- timent to kill the Blue Eagle agency has largely flattened out. Powerful pressude from busi-, ness interests and strenuous -un. dercover White House prosely- ting have caused most ofb the legislators who once talked death, now talk leniency.
 But the new act will not fol. low the line of the administra- ton backed Richberg bill, which i'm effect, would have continued the MIRA unchanged.
 The MIRA is in for extensive overhauling. If the senate fi- nance committee, which has been working on the new bill, does not go far enough, the chances are that the job will be complet- ed on the senate floor. t
 The fight for revision centerg around three major issues:
 1. Restoration of the anti trust laws.
 2. Limitation of MIRA op- eration strictly to interstate business.
 3. Prohibition of price fix ing except, possibly, in the case of natural resource industries, and then the prices to be regu- lated by the Federal Trade Commission.
 Senate consideration of these points win be. bitter and pro. tracted, will pour no political balm on the administrators sore spots. Out of it will em- erge the new MIRA.

A Book a Day
Once Again, A Good Tale Of Maine Life
BY BRUCE CAPTION.

The chief mystery of the cur rent publishing season seems to be just this: Why are so many first-rate novels coming out of the state of Maine these days?
 Such writers as Gladys Hasty Carroll, Mary Ellen Chase, and Robert P. Tristram Coffin have been swing us truly excellent books in which the flavor of Maine life, present and pas, is admirably presented. Now comes Rachel Field with "Time Out of Mind," another very readable book in the same vein.
 This novel takes up the for tunes of a famous old-time Maine shipbuilding family. For genera tions this family had owned vast forests, and from them it had made swift sailing ships which voyaged to all corners of the earth.
 But at the time the story opens the years immediately after the Civil war--the wooden sail ing ship is going inot eclipse. The family fortunes decline as steam crowds out the square-rigger.
 And the perplexities of the head of the family are increased by the fact that his only son cares nothing about ships, ship yards, or pine trees, but wants to become q musician.
 The story, then, concerns itself chiefly with this son, with his sister, and with the girl who loves him. It tells of his un- availing effort to beat the pres- sure of his environment and work out his salvation as com poser, and of the heartaches which the long fight brings to these two women who love him.
 It is a moving and tragic story, told against the background of a dying society and filled with a robust sentiment for 8 way oi life that has vanished from the earth.
 Published by Macmillan, the book sells for $2.50.
