Thomas at New Haven today (Monday) to extend the time before the sale of the plant of the Hopkins & Allen company at Norwich. The mo- tion has been entered inthe United States court by Cummings & Lock- ‘wood, who represented the committee ot Stockholders in the recent litiga- tion. The court has already ordered that the property be sold at auction on October 17. Some of the people who have money invested in. the plant believe that guns could be made there at a profit and are therefore bringing action to prevent the sale. The Marlin-Rockwell corporation® is helieved to be.the only buyer in the field. Plans have already been an- nounced covering the manufacture of machine guris at the Norwich factory. REGARDING SKIDDING AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE To Prevent Sliding the Driving Wheels Should be Kept Turning. Upon the records of the Motor Vehi- cle Department a large percentage of serioush accifents are charged to “skidding.” e Investigation has led to the present conclusicn that the skid is caused, in cases where chains are not used, and such cases very largely predominate, by a lack of proper driving knowl- edge, To prevent sliding and skidding the driving wheels must be kept turning, and this is readily accomplished by keeping the engine coupled in gear. An experienced and well-trained oper- ator foing down a grade or hill in wet weather, and usually at all times, nev- er coasts, but invariably uses his en- gine in gear. For a long hill he will also turn off his ignition and use com- pression and footbrake, and sometimes his emergency as well, to hold his car at proper speed. If all drivers would adopt_this practice, skidding would soon be past history. At the hearings of the department, a large number of collisions between machines being considered, it has ap- peared the emergency or hand brake is seldom set before the collision takes piace. Only one possible reason for this presents itself, namely this brake is 80 rarely used for purposes of con: trol of the car while in motion that the driver is not practiced in such use. Consequently when the emergency for which it could be useful confronts the driver, he does not use it because he is not trained and in readiness. As a_matter of fact this brake can be used to good effect for bther pur- poses than to hold the car while at a standstill, and especially as an alter- nate to the footbrake, going down grades and hills. A great many cases of ovprheated and burned brakes can. be saged, if ench brake does half the work. It is worth doing from the standpoint of economy and car service alone, aside from the training for use which will be developed. OBITUARY. Miss Ellen Geer.

Cuny Congregation. When is the time fof conversion. To this question Rev. Peter J. Cuny answered with an emphatic “Now! N-o-w, the present!” in his sermon at the high mass In St. Patrick’s church yesterday, the twentieth Sunday after Fentecost. The preacher had already explained that he was using the term conversion in its broadest sense, trac- ing its origin to the Latin “converto,” a complete turning around, right about face, turning to God as men would do if they realized God's nearness, omni- potence, Father Cuny's text was from the prophet Hosea, ii. 24, “And I will say to them which were not my people, Thou art my people; and they shall say, Thou art my God.” Conversion, thls turning to the Al- mighty, does nct consist wholly in ex- terior forms, .as _attending _church merely, or in long Prayers, multi loqui, whith 'the apostle condemns becawss those who utter them meaf so little and say so much. It signifies rather drawing nearer to God, aiming at His perfection, and Joving one’s neighbor: doing to the latter as we would have him do to us—not doing him, as is apt to be the modern practice—and doing him_ first! The two great obstacles to perfect conversion are, first, lack of that good will which Christ ¢ame upon earth to bring, gnd which is sadly lacking among men, and. secondly, bad habits; that is, doing serious wrong continu- ously. ‘Attentlon was directed to those idols ‘which are shrined in the human neart, filling the place which should be devoted wholly to God. In the matter of immediate conver- sion, the preacher s3id it was an insult to the majesty of God to wait till one was a spiritual wreck or till the fabic of body as well as mind was impaired and one was but a parody of manhood, before throwing one's self at the feef 0f God and saylng “Here; take me!” God - deserves man’s best and fullest service.
