Hartford county is second in the production of tobacco; but that doesn't help the cigar leaf industry 80 long as no law is passed making it a crime and misdemeanor to smoke cigarettes. Beginning on Saturday the sky will be the limit as to automobile speed on Connecticut highwa: provided there is no meteor in the way. The present law against going faster than 30 miles an hour will be no more at that time. Little difference in driv- ing habits are anticipated. Heading a Chicago jewelry firm does not necessarily mean the em- bodiment of common sense, judging from the attempt of one such ‘indi- vidual and his son to beat the rail- road time between Chicago and Los Angeles in an automobile.

RADIO AND FLYING One of the hard nuts that Lieu- tcnants Maitland and Hegenberger had to crack on their flight to Ha- wail was finding the islands; at least, 80 it was indicated when they start- ¢d. But there was no evidence avail- able that they actually had great difficulty in maintaining their bear- ings. For the first time in aviation history radio beacons were utilized to guide fliers, and it would seem from the ease with which they reached their destination that this new method has proved itself an important step forward as a sup- plement to aviation. Radio also played an important part in the Byrd flight to Paris, not only yielding constant informa- tion as to the location of the erst- while North Pole flier, but also en- abling him to communicate with New York. What could be more thrilling in this respect than to no- tify him of the success of the Ha- wailan flight and then forwarding a message of congratulation from the plane to the other fliers in Ha- waii? These are the days when one flier can know exactly what the other is doing, though they be , nearly 7,000 miles apart! PERIL OF WEDDINGS June is credited with being a par- " ticularly delightful month for wed- ding ceremonies, and the hard- working reporters of various state papers have taken pains to give the detalls—not of the wedding finery or the nature of the one-ring cere- monies, etc., but of certain after- maths having nothing in common with the pleasant business of honey- mooning. This refers of course to the auto- mobile aceldents which have fol- lowed. some wedding celebrations throughout the state. Scarcely any city has been devoid of these smash- ups, caused by the drivers being un- steady on the way home due to too much celebrating. Here is a peril about modern mar- rying that is easily overlooked. Folks ge together for a great send-off, and they forget all about the prohibition law. After everyone is feeling fine spirits the time arrives to go home; and as almost everyone d parts in an automobile, the hom Koing is not the quintessence of safe- ty. There should be a rule that all drivers of automobiles who attend weddings should take care mnot to indulge in the usual manner. Let conscience and common sense be the guiding spirit. At a wedding, like at other social gatherings, somebody must remain mentally equipped to get the gathering back home with- out ‘mishap, and the logical candi- dates for this honor are the official drivers of the chariots. If that can- not be done, better park the cars in the vicinity and rely upon taxi driv- ers. in TELL TALE A trip along Lazy Llare shows that the,tracks of the abandoned trolley line are still there, reminders of the day when they bore joyous throngs along the route. Nothing seems to be 30 hard to sell as aban- doned trolley car tracks, unless it is the rolling stock no longer needed when the routes are abandoned. What is done with the trolley cars when they are no longer needed? The experience of one trolley {company is cited. It had 17 cars to sell, 80 the story runs, but after re- peated efforts could not find a buy- er. The cars were finally burned, providing a nice bonfire for the small boys in the vicinity. ‘The tracks of the abandoned lines invariably are left to lie and rust.| That is what is happening to the | Lazy Lane line, is what occurred when the Arch street line was abandoned, is what was done when the line between the Berlin depot and Berlin street was discontinued. 1t costs money to remove ral the trolley poles and the valuable copper wires are left standing in some instances. ‘When a bus line is discontinued— it this ever happens—there s noth- ing of the sort to remind observing citizenry of what once existed. The busses are easily sold to another con- cern, or are placed on arother route. All of the investment is in busses, not a cent in expensive tracks and wires. Abandoned tracks represent capi- tal that once hopeful stockholders furnished; they represent.the enter- prise of promoters, for 20 or 30 years ago no promoting business was more prosperous than that of form- ing new trolley lines. Any town considering itselt important enough to have trolley service with some other town could have a flock of promoters call by merely giving the word; in truth; many of them called before the local capitalists ever thought of the trolley needs in the vicinity. What has become of these promoters, anyway, the ilk who could furnish the ocean if somebody else furnished the ships. Perhape they are now promoting bank mer- gers, power mergers, and every other kind of merger; or perhaps most of them have passed to their reward in the skies. 8o far as we are aware, no sta- tisticians have as yet sharpened their pencils to estimate the total invest- ment represented in abandoned trol- ley tracks and wires. Perhaps it is a thankless task, one that would not look nice on paper. Only the inves- tors are conscious of what happen- ed. Those who didn’t sell out to some trolley octopus or overkind railroad before the smash are sorry the automobile was ever invented. i i THE MOP AT WORK Whatever the police of New Ha- ven may publicly say in reply to the |charges made by a minister there about the city being a modern So- dem, their actions lately seem to suggest that they have suddenly dis- covered a field of activity hereto- fore untouched. The latest seizure of contraband liquor, which included gallons of grain alcohol, in addition to other paraphernalla, was obtained at the points of revolvers. Coming on the heels of a raid upon a brew- ery it would appear that the preach- er has actually started a war in New Haven. Whether the city ac- tually remains cleaned up after the spring housecleaning is over is a question. Law-abiding folks have been saying mean things about New Haven for many years, and only recently an observing fellow dug up cld newspaper files to prove that caustic eriticism was popular a quar- ter of a century ago. A YOUNG IDEA One of the surprising booms of the summer is the one boming Owen D. Young, head of the Gen- eral Electric Company, as the Dem- ocratic nominee for president. The chorus of amens is impressive. Young pleases everybody having no influence with the Dewnocratic na- tional convention. Tt is doubtful whether an execu- tive of such a huge institution as the General Electric would care to en- ter the political arena. If nominated of course, he would accept. But the days when great executives are nom- inated to head political parties has not yet arrived, desirable as it might seem to make this departure from established custom. Political psychology is a peculiar animal. Politicians like to appeal to the “rank and file” when they name their candidates, and storics about candidates who rose from being farm boys, or were born in log cabins, work a special charm in snaring votes. The story of a corporation ex- ecutive turning candidate appeals to the friends of the corporations and to many intelligent peopls who see no reason why that could not eventu- ate; but to the general “rank and file,” which has strong prejudices in its makeup, the corporation execu- tive does not in the slightest appeal as candidate. There is no popular objection, however, In utilizing corporation ex- ecutives to bring about notable pub- lic accomplishments. In the case of Owen D. Young his purt in origina- ting the Dawes plan and obtaining its adoption was on par with that of Charles G. Dawes—and Young 30 steel drums, each containing 50 | | have already been e modest about his share in the business that ho permitted Cawes, who was in politics, to get most of the popular credit. He even permitted his plan—the Young plan —to be called the Dawes plan. No | politician would have gone that far toward self-abnegation. Young would make a great presi- dent, without a doubt. But he isn’t a great politician. FIFTEEN BILLION It has been computed that®for every dollar spent on food by the owners of 22,000,000 motor Vclllcle!,' 40 cents is sgent on the automobiles. | Until one pauses to consider the ac- tual meaning of these figures it seems incredible that this can be true. Only when one recognizes the truth that the country's greatest ex- pense account is now the manufac- ture, upkeep and operation of motor vehicles, does it sink in that such a major industry touches the pock- ets of us all, whether we ride or walk, Just as, in a previous day and still to a lesser extent, the building, maintenance and operation of rail- roads touched everone, even he who never took a ride on the ‘“steam cars” more than once a year. It formerly was taught in the schools that one-fifth of the nation’s productive energies were needed to provid raliroad transportation, counting everything from the felling of trees for the ties, the mining of ore for the rails and locomotives, to the conductors’ punches. 1t is estimated today that the an- nual sum spent in America for the| ownership and operation of automo- biles, and the maintenance of all the allled industries conected therewith, counting everything that the experts can squeeze in as being applicable, amounts to $15,000,000,000. One gets a better idea of what this means by comparing it with other lines of Factsand Fancies An ambassador is a man who gets bis picture in the paper because & fiyer calls on him. Prohibition deserves credit, if only because it requires a man to get drunk at home instead of on the street. In Russia, as elsewhere, men have absolute freedom to do everything except disagree with the bosses.

But it isn't. It is placed in productive channels, multiplies live- lthoods, causes a saving in other di- rections, and in increased health and convenience stimulates productive- ress in other classifications of trade. It represents the money poured into a great comparatively new industry, and it is difficult to compute the many thousands who directly and in- directly profit through it. Even road bullding must not be overlooked in |this connection, and the great sub- !sidiary industry that this has be- come.

The following officers were elected: Chief ranger, Harry C. Dolan; sub-chief ranger, Matthew Meskill;\ recording secretary, D. C. Darrow: senior woodward, B. Fraw ley: junior woodward, J. J. Higgins; senior beadle, James Hackett; junior beadle, August Nealson; lecturer, T. Dehan. Dr. C. W. Moody of Plainville has been selected as one of the homeo- pathic doctors upon the staff at the hospital. Supt. Cooley was present at the street committee meeting last night and protested against the railroad's stringing wires above the ground. He Insisted they could be laid in a subway. A wheelman said today that the bicycle inns are disappearing about the state. They used to sell ice cream and soft drinks, and some- times other drinks and cigars and tobacco. Cycling is on'the decline and carriage riding is coming back into its own. On a Sunday after- noon every livery team in town is rented. Chief Rawlings has appealed to the youth of the city to be excep- tionally careful this Fourth of July. So many special police are on guard over the quarantined houses that very few are left for extra Fourth duty. The Connecticut Co. has purchased the brick factory building in the rear of Church street, Wwhich was erected by R. A. Wooding of Berlin and was originally to be occupied by the New Britain Steam Heating Co. It will be used as a machine raom and storage room. Because of the startling reports in Sunday papers concerning the smallpox _situation here, Chairman Curtis of the health committee has addressed a letter to the Herald giving the true con- ditlon of affairs.

A mass of fluid rotating about a closed curve as an axis; a motion similar to that of the particles of a rubber ring (such as a pneumatic tire) when it is turned so that the inside of the ring becomes the out- side and vice versa. The most fa- miliar form of vortex ring is that of a smoke ring. Vortices are usually circular, but may be of other and complicated shapes, the essential condition being that the axis arounti which the whirl takes place must be cither a close curve, or a curve both ends of which rest upon a boundary surface of tie fluld. Such rings are very persistent and have many interesting properties. They may be projected to considerable distances and exhibit mutual attraction and repulsion. Q.
