It will take King Michael of Ru- mania, aged six, some years to find out what it is all about. Over in Rhode Island they have stabilized gasolfhe at 17 cents; and every motorist in Providence claims that is still too much. Every grand old party politician seems to be against the agitation that opposes a third term; evidently being thoroughly convinced there is no one among them capable of be ing a candidate for the presidency. Once upon a time it cost only $1.50 to put four mew shoes on a horse. Now it costs—well, how much do four new tires set you back? Nicholas Murray Butler said there are no zreat men in this generation —evidently not even excepting presidents. When it is a question of building a new road, or improving one, some gasoline station proprietors seem to be the first to get the information. State Highway Commissioner Macdonald again stated that there are 300 miles of road construc- tion work on the waiting list—that the waiting list may take 12 years.

Yet this does not prevent Con- gressman Tilson of Connecticut from saying that flood legislation is of secondary importance. Tilson places tax reduction first. The Connecticut congressman, eager to keep on the good side of his friends, no doubt, is always thinking in terms of money. Flood legislation is more import- ant, Mr, Tilson. COMMERCE AND AVIATION Hartford is mixing a little business with its airplane promotion activi- tles. If airplanes become common in the skies during the years to come the necessity for insurance will in- | crease in proportion. So far this p sibility for insurance against acci- dent merely contemplates covering the planes; nothing as yet is being said about insuring smoke stacks against being hit by them, but that may come. “The insurance premiums for planes may amount to more than the insurance premiums on autos in the coming years,” one optimistic speak- er in the capital city had it the other day.

The average cost per mile of the 200 miles of new pavement added to the state highway system last vear was $35,362.

It has come to the point where it is the duty of duly constituted authorities {to save people from their own folly. SPEED STIMULATION Certain automobile manufacturers must be considerably to blame for | the speed mania. One reads in the !ads of these certain manufacturers | that their cars can make 80 miles an hour on the average road. And here have just finished reading an ad that one car went 959.5 miles in Tl'lfl‘ minutes over the highways of | California.

That the bill attempted to confiscate private rights was undoubted; fits failure was certain. The South African diamond situa- tion is fraught with worldwide in- terest, and will be so long as dia- mond rings are freely given as en- gagement presents. The story of the finding of vast new stores of the precious stones surpasses fiction. In a work of fiction published in Chambers’ Journal years ago the author caused his hero to find dia- monds along the lower Orange river in Africa, the stones having been washed down from the Vall river. The late F. C. Cornell, a British explorer, read the tale and took it seriously. He visited the scene but could rot find the diamonds. Recently two German explorers, Dr. Hans Merensky and Dr. Reun- ing, continued the search, finding the greatest dlamond depository in history. The first parcel of diamonds from the fiald to reach Cape Town was appraised at $750,000. It was bad news for the De Beers combine. Ultimately it resulted in closing down of the Kimberly, De Beers and other famous South African diamond mines. Diamond excitement in South Africa has percolated everywhere. Last March 27,000 were allowed to chase to the newly found Grasfon- tein diamond find, on the first come first served principle. The syndicate formed by the dia- mond trust to acquire one of the new fields succeeded. The syndicate decided “it would be more profitable not to exploit it” But there are other fields, and almost every im- aginative South African expects to find diamonds growing in the hin- terlands. Defeat of the anti-pros- pecting bill means that everyone | will continue to look for them un- hindered by law. 1 | Factsand Fancies | | i England keeps right on decaying from one triumph to another. { “personality | plus a loud | All too frequently, plus” is personality mouth.

The United States Biological Survey says that there are a number of different species of hawks and the food habits of all are not the same. Some prey almost entirely upon small mamals such as mice, ground squirrels, and rabbits, where- as the food of others consists chief- ly of birds. The latter are re- sponsible for the bad reputation of all hawks. The bird-eaters should be killed at every opportunity, but it is equally important that the others be spared, for they do a great deal of good in destroying small animal pests of the farmer. The bird-eating hawks include the ! Cooper hawk and the sharp-shinned hawk which capture their prey by swift flerce darts from the conceal- ment of thick foliage. Most of the other hawks are beneficial to the farmer. Q. Whhat is the chief export of the United States? A. Unmanufactured cotton, val- ued in 1926 at $814,000,000, is the chief export. It represents 17 per cent of all exports. Automobiles, parts and accessories, valued in 1926 at $320,166,000 constitutes the chief manufactured export. Q. What would be the value in American money of seventy-five thousand French francs? A. The Franch franc s now quoted at 3.91% cents per franc.

A, $217,150,612. Q. Is Annle Oakley, the cham- pion woman rifle shot who once traveled with the Buffalo Bill shows, still living? A. She died at Greenville, Ohlo, November 3, 1926. 8he had been ill for several months and became unconscious two days before her death. Q. Who wrote the poem, “Bar- bara Frietchie”? A. John Greenleat Whittier. Q. How many dimes were coined in 1914 and an 1894? A. There were 31,368,655 dimes coined in 1914. They are worth only from 10 to 12 cents. There were only 24 dimes coined in 1894. Those with the “S” mint mark are quite valuable. Q. How are lilacs propagated? A. The method usually practiced with more common typical species is by seed which is sown in the spring. Many varieties and rarer kinds are propagated by greenwood cuttings under glass in June, or in - (As it reached the Fun Shop Joke | official languages in both ~the early spring, from forced plants, by hardwood cuttings, by grafting, and also by suckers and division. Q. How large an estate did General Booth of the Salvation Army leave, when he.died? A. According to newspaper ac- counts, General Booth left a very small personal estate, consisting of about $2,400 in funds and $26,475 that had been left him for his per- sonal use by Henry Reed. Because of that small legacy he did not draw any salary from the Salvation Army. The. property of the Salvation Army which General Booth held in trust was: turned over to his successor as general of the Salvation Army. Q. In what motion pictures have Allene Ray and Walter Miller ap- peared together? A. The Green Archer”, “Play Ball”, “Sunken Silver”, “Snowed In”, “Melting Millions”, 'The House ‘Without a Key” and “The Hawk of the Hilla”, all serials. Q. What is the principal import of the United States? A. Crude rubber. Q. 1Is French the official language In the legislature of Quebec, Canada, and in the Dominion parliament? A. French and English are Do- minjon parliament and the Quebec legislature.

On what day in June does summer usually begin? A. June 21. This year it fell on June 22. Q. What was “Manna’ spoken of in the Old Testament? A. Manna is compared to cori- ander seed in Exodus 16:31 and Numbers 11:7. The latter are ovate- globular, straw-colored, twice as large as hemp seed and striate. They have a warm aromatic taste and stomachic, carmianative properties. They are used in a number of dis- eases. The Arabic nome is ‘“kuz- barah”. Q. Is it correct to call the flag of the United States the American Flag? A. American means of or per- taining to the American continent. Specifically it refers to the United States and hence it is correct to| speak of the “American Flag”. Any- one living In either of the Americas | is technically an American, but the term usually refers to citizens of the United States. Q. What is a2 “frump”? A. A sour od maid or a prim old lady. In Great Britain a “frump” | is a slattern. Observations | On The Weather | Washington, July 22.—Forecast for Southern New England: Cloudy with showers tonight. Saturday fair.
