WHAT ARE THEY? A youthful reporter in Boston, in writing a story about a party with a “bun” throwing some stones, un- wittingly stated that he threw cob- blestones. Following which an edi- torial writer on the Boston Herald remarks that there probably fsn't a person in town who knows what a cobblestone looks like, having never seen any. Inquiry in New Britain elicited the faet that no citizens interviewed knew of a single cobblestong street in the city. It is fair to assume, therefore, that the rising genera- tion in New Britain is just as bliss- fully ignorant of the joys of cob- blestone pavements as are the sup- posed cultured Bostonians. The modern autoist can congratu- late hlmself on being freed from the ills of cobblestones, which in a bygone day were regarded as en- pavements. during and superlative It is said that scores of streots in lower New York once had cobble- stone pavements, and it is an ab- certainty that hundreds of streets in Philadelphia, Baltimore and some other citles once had them. Tt is also a matter of history that Boston once had its share of cobblestone pavements.

I General lighting conditions ythroughout Connecticut are not {much better or worse than they were a year ago, the balletin says, ‘and depend for their improvement upon car owners giving as much at- essentials of thelr cars, However the department's accident statistics do not show any excessive number of accidents due to poor lighting: indeed the glaring headlight is said to have had the reaction of slow- ing up opposing traffic at night. “A manwill wash his car, will adjust his brakes, will see that his tires are in good order and well in- flated and will be sure his steerin® apparatus is right,”” it is pointed out, “but when it comes to focusing and alming of headlights he seems to feel that these functions will be performed automatically, once he has adopted an approved device, On the contrary, constant vigilance is required that the proper adjust- ment may be maintained How to Adjust Lights, The following is given as a sim- ple and feasible method of adjust- ment of headlights: “Place your car on a level space, preferably a floor, facing a wall or screen, the car lamps being 25 feet ground as the centers of the lamps on the car. Call this line the “Lamp Level Line.” With lights on and both lenses installed, cover one the screw or device in the other lamp, which regulates the position of the bulb, until you get the nar- rowest”horizonta] (left to right) beam of light on the wall. Then perform the same operation with the other lamp. Having thus focused the lamps, tilt or bend each | lamp until the top of the beam is no higher than the “Lamp Level Line” on the wall, being sure that the car is fully loaded at the time. The wall will then be illuminated below and up to the “Lamp Level Line,” which is the result desired. If the light spreads on the wall above the “Lamp Level Line” it proves that the lamps are not prop- crly aimed and focused.” Dimming of Lights Tlegal. Dimming of headlights while tWé automobile is in motion is not legal in Connectlcut, owing to the fact that the statutes require sufficient light to enable the driver to see 200 feet ahead at all times. While parking lights are not required where there is sufficient light from other sources 1o make the car dis- cernible from a distance of 200 feet in every direction, this dges mnot mean that a car that is parked within 200 feet of a light does not | require parking lights tention to their lights as to other ! distant from the wall. Mark a hori- | zontal line on the wall, which line | shall be the sameé height from the | lamp to shut off the light and move | 0he NSL< Fun Chop ,’ . MaxsoN Juoew, MRS, ADAM (By W}lla'ca 1:1.

FRANK CRANE aid a society woman the other day: “T was handicapped at the start by having neither wealth nor beauty, so I endeavored to express my pet- sonality in my surroundings aud in my dress. “I adopted a certain color and kept to it, making it my own, as you will doubtiess bave noticed. My hats, my gowns, and every detail of my tollctte to the smallest accessories, was carried out in a restful, peace- [ giving shade of pastel grey. 1 have identificd my whole personality with it. The pastel shades of my drawing rcom give the air of almost cloister od peace. Now I am known as the lady of repos This lady confessed to lady Diana Manners, who adds that while most women are content to g0 with the crowd and follow where others tead, it is best to be individual. Be in the fashion, yes, she says, if you are not you will be old-fash. ioned and dowdy, but fashion must be adaped to suit yourself. She adds that she is a firm believer in individuality in clothes and that in many cases she makes her own gowns She thinks that every woman should try to design at least one dress for héself. “Since 1 was & child I have made nearly all my own dresses, from #he designing, cutting-out and fitting, to the actual stitching. I even made my own wedding gown and I do not think many women can boast of having done this. I did this because I wanted my personality to rise above mere fashion.” One's personality does not depend upon beauty of face nor shapeli- ness of form; it depends upon one's seif. Recently an actress in London advertised herself as the plainest wom- {ah in the world and the worst singer. She achieved a success, however, because she was entirely herself, had a distinct personality and expressed it. It will be found that the wemen who have most influence in the world have not beer those gifted with beauty of face and form but those who have been enabled to express themselves in dress and otherwise. To be sure there is such a thing as carrying individuality too far, #n dof expression to the point of exaggeration, but there is also such a thing as carrying conformity too far.
