General Comment.
Some of the comment included in
the questionnaires returned was as
follows:
”I am in favor of regulation which
would follow thlc lines of the Harrison
act. The. latter has been found to be
fully able to indicate the dishonorable-
physician who has violntcd the inicnt
of the law. it should be the physi-
cians. not the politician to decide. the
indications and thc kind of alcoholic
preparations to he prcscribcd. The
number of times that Honor has been
obtained legally and nothing clack;-
Bridgeport.
"There is so much rwl rupc conncct-
cd with the prescribing of alcoholics
that I have not tukt-n out a permit."—
Stamford.
“Physicians have been slow in mak-
ing application for permits to pre-
ecrlbe liquors. for the reason that up
until very recently ‘they could be ob-
iained by patients without great dii‘-
iiculty because of the laxity “in the en-
forcement of the prohibition law. But
as enforcement becomes mo}? of a
reality we become conciuus of the 10$
of a. very valuable ihernpcutic agent.

Branford.

VASSSB ALMAE PLAN
DELIGHTF‘UL ENTERTAINMENT
Following the lead of othe commun-
ities. the Vassar women of Norwallt
are planningseveral entertainments to
be given during the winter and Spring.
In their efforts to complete the Salary
Endowment Fund Drive, they have
united throughout the country in ar-
ranging many different kinds of en-
tertainments. The general community
life is greatlyheneutted by these en-
tertainments which have taken many
forms. from dances to moving picture
shows, concerts. .plays. special sales.
etc.
This month. Norwalk is to be given
the opportunity to enjoy a d'ellghttul
literary and musical program to be,
presented on Saturday evening. Jan-
uary amt. in Grace Church Pariah
House at eight p. m. The artists. who»
are associated this winter with the
Hillside School. are Mrs. Helen Well
of Cambridge. Mass. and Miss Ger-
trude Wood of Statesvllle. N. C.
Mrs. Well is a reader of national re-
putation who, through her wide back-
ground of culture. her great natural
gift for interpretation and her highly
ned technique. is enabled to read
most delightfully the great literary
productions of our langi‘iage. Mrs.
Well reads instead of reciting but her
interpretation loses no dramatic power
by this method. She has won high
prane from the best audiences of the
country and is well worth hearing. She
is already known to Norwalk through
her work as dramatic coach at the
Hillside School as well as through
several readings previously given.
Miss Gertrude Wood is a singer who
has a special gift in rendering tne
songs of her own South. Her voice is
a rich and sympathetic contralto and
her interpretation of the southern me-
lodies is one which comes from inti—
mate association and sincere love for
the music of the southland.
The program will be made up of the
reading of Sir Gilbert Parker's “The
Minuet" and of Lady Gregory's "The
Traveling Man" together with several
groups of songs. It is hoped that the
evening will be made still more de—
lightful by the presence of the men
Friends of Vassar who will speak in-
formally at the close of the program.
Further announcement will be made
later.
Tickets will be on sale by the com-
mittee and at the Hillside School. The
price is seventy-five cents.

A WORD OF WARNING.
——:
Unfortunately the ~. human tendency
is to take rather too keen a delight in
the spectacular. - the fantastic, the
miraculous.
The average person is never con-
tent to merely feel fit; he wants to
feel like jumping a fence, eating a
whole mince pie and singing until the
wee. small hours.
He also enjoys going to the other
extreme and. when he has a little indi-
gestion to fancy himself an object of
tragic misery.
This almost universal desire for
crises and climaxes has lead to a suc-
cession of fads even along the pro-
gressive path of science.
Just now the fad is to get rid of the
teeth. Honehasaboilheissureto
