ANDY GIVES MARY SOME GOOD ADVICE Most of It Has to Do With Anguing With Gops Dear Mary Ann, Your letter received = saying you finally got a driver's license that is ! good on any street in the city (al- though some people wishes it wasn't) and asking me to give you advice or something about driving so's you won't ‘get into any more arguments | with traffic cops as they leave you feeling as though you were the world’'s most successful dumb-bell. Anyone who gets into arguments about the rules-of-the road, with the ink hardly dry on their driving diploma, doesn't need advice. What they need is a chaperon. I'm surprised that you should argue with a traffic cop and tell him he's s0 dumb he thinks a steeple chase takes place on the top of a church and then gets so peeved you splutters like a missing cylinder when he comes back at you saying you're s0 dumb you thinks a radio loud speaker is the announcer. A realize that all you'l ever get outa an argument with a traffic cop is a ticket and you have as much chance of winning as a mule has of gallop- ing off with first prize at a horse show. When a traffic cop holds up his paw as a “stop” signal always remember that actions speak louder than words, especially when backed by a uniform. Don’t argue, if there are any need of words he will take care of them, and how. Talk may be cheap but in your case it's liable to prove expensive. If you must talk say only enough to admit that you're in the wrong, this | kinda soothes the copper's feelings {and also gives you practice in telling |the truth. 8ilence is golden and if | you persist in exercising your tonsils by getting in a word edgeways you're only giving your pocketbook a chance of becoming as flat as the spare on a college bimbo's flivver. Keep your temper and tongue under control until outside the city limits send for it. |, and then you may use your Owm styl of language and say what you think without hurting anybody's feelings or having to pay for it. Andy Dale. 928 Promises France Good Wine and Plenty Paris, Nov. 3 UM—Wine, which shares with bread the honor of be- ing the staff of life in France, is go- ing to be cheaper this winter and the man in the street is rejoicing. A warm sunny summer, with rain at just the right time, produced one of the finest growths of grapes France has known for years. Both in quantity and quality the vintage of 1928 will be renowned in history, according to experts. Ordinarily wine, a table accom- paniment in the home of almost every average Frenchman, will henceforth cost just ten cents a bot-, tle. Last year it was between 12 and 13 cents.

Hay Scales at Central Park ‘There were no sidewalks, Central park was used as a baschall field and there were hay scales on it There were no railroads and trans portation from one town to another was by stage coaches, drawn by one or two horses. The stage drivers were George Hart and John Judd. There was a wooden bridge across Main strest where the railroad tracks now are. A etream of water ran under it and on the east side the water was diverted into a canal bullt by the late Major North and carried to the old Sargent factory where Mr. North manufactured bells, running his factory by water power. New Britain, Kensington, and Berlin were in the same parish in 1834, and the population was from 2,600 to 3,000. There were about 600 voters, a contrast with the present time when 20,836 are eligible to vote in the national election. The votes were divided equally at that time between the democrats and whigs. Many changes have come about since 1834. The town was separated from Berlin and Kensington, its population has increased to nearly 80,000, miles of streets have been | opened, the town government has| been succeeded by a city goves- ment, and the factories are no long- er run by water power. tors in two parties.
