In Connecticut | we must rely in the case of accidents, on the information that is brought out |at hearings held at the capitol. In | New York, New Jersey, Massachu- | setts and 1'am informed nearly all the other eastern states as well, they have a system of inspectors, there being {one inspector for each county. When | there is an accident in the jurisdiction of the inspector, he makes a Visit to the territory and makes a thorough personal investigation of the affair, ex- amining witnesses, and then files his report with the motor vehicle depart- ment, with the result that a hearing follows.” “Then when it comes to issue a li- cense to an applicant, in our state, we must take the statement of the ap- |plicant, when he appears ms to his age, qualifications, habits and other essentials. In these other states I find that these inspectors investigate every aprlication and give the applicant a practical test as to his qualifications. | The applicant is compelled to take the inspector out on the highway - and show him that he has the necessary { knowledge for the guidance of a car. | This is a safeguard against a license to drive getting into unfit hands.” This State to Come to It.

Well, dirt is in some respects as bad as a fire. In helping our neigh- |bors otclean up their places we are helping ourselves, just as much as | when we should help them put out the fire in their houses lest the fire should spread to our own houses.

Fresh Water Pearls. Arkansas is the greatset pearl pro- ducing state In the union, and hun- dreds of men are now engaged in the pear] hunt and will be until winter sets in. It is said that the fresh water pear] of Arkansas of the highest class cannot be distinguished from the finest deep sea jewel. Throughout the south generally thousands of people follow the pearl fishing industry and make a comfortable living at it. Up to a few vears, ago the jewel Wwealth contained ir the river beds of the Mississippi valley was completely hidden. It was not supposed that the fresh water mus- sel was a pearl bearer, or that it had any value except for fish bait. The fresh water mussel is sought now not only for the preclous stone it may have hidden in its shell, but for the shell itself, which is manufactured into stick pins, cuff links, and buttons of every discription. The shell fisher- les have for years extended far up the Mississipp! river. A recent writer on the subject puts fresh water pearls into four classifications—true pearls, barogues, slugs, and chicken reed. The first, or true pearl are of & Aa- finite shape and regular form, round, ovel, or pear shapped. These command the highest price, Baroques are pearls of jrregular form, Slugs are low grade baroques. The smaller size, the kind used in inexpensive though genuine and neat jewelry, go by the professional name ‘of chicken feed, A Chicago Weman's Mistaks A Chicage judge has fined a married weman 375 each fer tha twe shots she 186k at her husband, The meral of this 18 that it is expensive to miss.—Deatroif {Fros Press.
