CIRCULATION WEEK ENDING JUNE 10th, 1922 11,559 AUTOMATIC CONTROL. Orélers looking to the overcoming of those fallures of the human agent to prevent large losses on railroads by run ning past signals and disregarding dl- rectlons, have been issued by the inter- state commerce commission. They are but the first of a series in all probability but when complied with much meeded additlonal protection will be obtained. Some of the worst railroad accidents, measured by the loss of life, have occur- red when those in charge of trains in one capacity or another have falled to abide by orders. There are well remem- bered cases where frightful rear end collisions and head-on collisions have been due to the fact that flagmen have pot been at their post, because engl- neers have falled to obey the signals set and because there have been chances taken in trying to get two trains to pass on a single track. Time and again has it been disclosed that had the human agent been alert to his responsibility railroad wrecks| would not have occurred. Those caSEs' have an lummlflc train control by whlc"n trains would be brought to a stop In case signals were mnot respected. The apparent need has resulted in the pro- duction of devices to meet the situation, and now in the opinfon of the commis- sion they have been perfected to the point where there is justification for the ordering of the raflroads to equip thelr lines therewith, As might be expected such equipment fs expensive, and ¥ is being required of the roads at a time when financial con- ditions are by no means of the best. but there is a never ceasing demand for preater safety and it is far preferable that money should be spent for such *quipment than that the same or larger sums should go for settlement of claims. The commission doesn’t call for the equipment of an entire system, or the doing of the required work in a minute, hut it orders a certaln mileage 8o equip- within three years, the benefit of chich move to public and roads cannot be questioned. b THE ANNAPOLIS CASE. Not a Httle aftention has been given 1o the case of Ensign Kaplan of West Virginia at the naval academy. It would appear from the stories that have been told that he was most unjustly treated That vlew is certainly borne out by the reprimands which have been given to the ona in charge of the class year book who J& held responsible for the “low Sown, dirty trick” as Superintendent Wiigon of the academy termed it. Just what the grounds are for the in- vended slight are not entirely clear. Much stress has been laid upon the laim that it was because of religious and raclal prejudice. In view of the tact that Ensign Kaplan {s Jewish ex- traction gave support for this claim, but when it is realized that he ig not the only Jew numbered among the members of the class, but that he was the only sne whose name was omitted from the ndex of, the class book and the only sne who was shown the indignity of baving the page in the book bearing his picture perforated ®o that it might be lorn out without defacing the book, there 1ppears to be some good ground at least lor belleving that whatever the prejudice against him it was not for racial or re- ligious reasons. That there had been a dislike develop is plain and it is plausible that this was entirely personal or that it was the out- eropping of a class feeling fostered by the fact that Kaplan was rated as a “grind” and therefors more or less un popular. His ability seems to be ind!- rated by the fact that he finished sec ond in his class, being headed only by the man responsible for the discrimina- tton. Judged from any standpoint there is aothing to justify the attitude taken to- ward him, but In the light of what s tnowp concerming other members of the slass being Jews it is hardly proper to tharge the institution with the tolera- dYon of racial and religious prejudice, when other reasons seem to have been 1t the back of it. THE DREIVEE RESPONSIBLE. When the coroner's jury after obtain- ng 20 the facts in the case held that the driver was negligent and responsi- ble for the collision between an auto and an express train, which caused the death of himself and the other five mem- bers of his family near Atlantic City, it reveals 2 condition which unfortunately characterizes too many of the grade crossing fatalities. all the deaths that have oc- curred at such places, and the real dan- ger which anyone must realize in trying to dispmte the way with a locomotive, there continues to be a deplorabie amount of negligence manifested when- sver it is necessary to guide a motor car across a rallroad track. Signs are srected warning of the danger, signals are operated to indicate the coming of a train, gates are lowered to check ve- higles and flagmen are employed to wave a danger signal but in spite of all the thers are those who persist in am them, when as a matter of knowledge that there was a crosging to be negotiated should jpufficient reagon for any driver to ’up‘muonnlo!murln keep- e n o S -g’ with conditions, make a careful sur- of the sitmation and do-his © " Norwich, Satarday, June 17, 1022, ' o aciteet Qe ot ol aepenting| mmwaonu;s meAAfi Tmn is no - A minute, will eufics to avold such | Thers W“'W trouble, but ;en.rdleaa ot the amount of time required it is m"fil‘flfls to the tragedies that are enacted.

THE NORWICH-WESTEBLY TROL- LEY. An announcement that is bound to be recelved with much favor is that which has 'been recently made by the Shore Line Electric road to the -effect. that the Norwich & Westerly line is to be opened for service its entiré ler This means much to the Deople lo- cated along the line of this road .who have depended upon it to a large exteat for transportation in both direcpions, but it also means-much to the people of this vicinity desirous of reaching the ter- ritory covered by this line and polnts beyond especially durlng the . summer season. It is the summer season when this piece. of road pays, . It is therefore at this time of the year when the opera- tion of ears-thereon can bé expected, but inasmuch as it is a questlon of patron- age which determines whether the. road is kept open its éntire length or only be- tween here and Hallville, the contin- uance of daily service throughout -the year plainly rests.upon the traveling public. None would lfke it better than the company if it could get sufficient business to operate the line and none better than those who appreclate °the value of such seérvice has more to say regarding it. Conditions are looking up for the trol- ley lines. Reduced operating expenses, with other decreases to come, and in- creased patronage encouraged by cer- tain reductions in the rate of fare make it possible for those in Connecticut to do better than meet expenses. In Rhode Isl- and there are lines which are declaring their first dividend for several years. It is a small one of one per cent, but it indicates the turning of the corner. The Norwich & Westerly line doesn't run through a thickly ‘settled section, but there are many along its route and cities at both ends which should mani- fest sufficient interest in the service af- forded to prevent the abandonment of the line. It is to be sincerely hoped that improved business and better condi- tions now being experienced wil make it possible to retain this cross-country trolley road. Summer service is better than nothing, but Service all the year round 18 better. ———— ' INVESTIGATING TURKEY. ‘When the decision was reached limit- ing the investigation of conditlons in Asia Minor to recent onmes, it was what the situation calls for. There could be no thought of going over the ground which has already been well covered by others and which show the Turks to be just what they have been painted. This investigation deals with recent events. It is desired that it should be known just what the conditions are over there. From what those who have been in that region tell there can be no question as to what the report will be, but it will have the official stamp and be a joint finding by the leading countries. It can hardly be expected that Tur- key will cease its butchery just because an inquiry Is to be started. It has gone through the experience before and its whole savage conduct has heen laid bare, It has found out what the world thinks about it but it hasm't changed its inclinalons. There are good reasons for believing that the report of the investigators can be anticipated. There are grounds for feeling that it will be found that the reports have come far from revealing the frightful conditions, instead of ex- aggerating them. What the course wiil be after it has been established just what the situation is is a matter over which there is much concern. It seems plain that there can be nothing therein that wil' serve to establish the Turks ‘n a more secure position with the civilized naticns. Rather does it appear that sen- timent would be turned more sympathet- ically to Greece, but whatever deyelops in that direction there can be no ques- tion but what the most effective and early efforts need to be taken to give Turkey to understand that the slaugh- ter of Christfans must stop. Something more thah Investigation is called for. EDITORIAL NOTES. The cat is already Wwondering what kind of a time it is going to have this summer while the family is away.

B‘nme 15, however, what will determine it. a 1t to in this country, int - requisite. 'This fact was b me with 2 good deal of emp! er day from a conversation I over Def two citizens. The sul discussion was the new city don’t understand it at all,” said one of them, “Neither do I,” \'efiflétf the “other, and, as the conversation continued it was brought out that neltlier of them had read it, or heard it explained. And both con- cluded that the safest way was to yote against it. Still people are: uometmu criticlsed for being alarmists and Iln; for the safety of free go Such an attitude of mind tends to as- sagsinate all attémpts at progress. most terrible barrier to enlightened leg- islation is ignorance. ‘When citizens vote against a measure simply because they don’t understand it free institutions are in danger. We may ot be able to give a sclen- tific explanation of vislons ; possibly there i no explanation to be given. ~About all | bl we know is that they exist and possibly they may have a purpoge In“our lives much deeper than we imaglie. Men and women have been dreaming dreams and. seeing visions ever since the world began. For aught we known'to the contrary, a Higher Power may make use of them for our benefit as it may best serve His own purposes. We “do,” however, know this that some of ‘the ‘most- extraordin- ary events in the -history of mankind-had. their birth in a vision. - ¥t is well known that Columbus® was obsessed with the vision of some great Eldorado of-‘the west that had mot yet been discovered. The vision of -this great western possibil- ity so possessed bim, that he was-com- pelled to act under its powerful-inspira- tion, and its result is wholly beyond all human calculation. How full- is history of men and who have achieved results because they were mot digobedient to. the “heaven vision.” We are now in the midst of the June graduations, and it is hére where visions come in with special emphasis. The boys and girls who graduate from our gram- mar schools may be divided into two dis- tinct groups; those who do and those who do not have visions. To some boys and girls the last day of school is a sea- son of rejoicing. They have looked up- on study as a bore; they have had little or no interest in their school life..They have been a source of trouble to parents in keeping them at if. They have yearn- ed for the time when they could work. There are others who have vision of the academy and college. They are eager to continue their education; they are will- ing to pay the price, and somehow for such students a way is provided. They do not zee how they are going to do it. But if the vision is strong enough to make them willing to sacrifice they will somehow get there. To my mind it is a fine specimen of moral heroism for boys and ‘girls to make this plunge in the dark, because without knowing how the vision in most cases will be realized. Every coin has an obverse side; so also has a vision. We may call the other side of a vision the objective. Le me explain it in this manner: In the New Testa- ment we are told that the Apestle Paul had a vision of the Man of Macedon which appeared to him at night and sald, “Come over into Macedon and help us.” n:@ people rule, = nwy mmmefl a In Now if Paul had a vision of the Man.of. Macedon is it not equally evident that the Man of Macedon had a vision of Paul? If we have a vision of something, it must be that this something gets a vision of us, otherwise how can we ex- Dplain its appearing to us? If the acade- my graduate has a vision of Yale, Har- vard, or Amherst, and sees clearly what either of these institutions can do for him, it must also be that these colleges have visions of the boy that they must have in order to function properly. It would be just as hard for colleges to get along without students to educate as it would be for students to get along with- out educational facilities. This fact helps us to interpret the nation of visions. One sometimes wonders whether fore- sight is a matter that Admits of cultiv: tion. Is it a gift that springs into being full-grown, not requiring any further de- velopment? Many things would seem to show that the latter is the correct hy- pothesis. And yet do we possess any fac- ulty that is static, incapable of advanc- ing beyond a certain 1imit? This thought is suggested by the question of the invest- ment of funds. When one buys securities does he act on business sagacity, or just foresight, or is it nothing but a gamble? T8 it based on a combination of various abilitles? It not unfrequently happens that men high up in financial circles buy stocks and bonds that prove worthless, and from which they realize little or jnothing. A poor plumber in Boston sold his shop for 600 dollars and put the money into a certain investment from which he realized in a few years over a half million. Was it sagacity, fore- sight, inspiration, or nothing but bull luck? Oan anyone explaln why it is that things which ought not to grow at all persist in growing so fast, while other things which seemingly ought. to. grow fast because useful have to be nursed carefully in order to grow at all? For an {llustration simply look at your garden in these rapidly growing days. How about the weeds? Compare them with beets, onions, carrots, parsnips. . The one crop heeds no plowing, fertilizing, cultlyating, or any care whatever, but how much time, patience and intelligent care are needed to. get any results whatever. Compare the luxurious growth on the edge of your garden with what is in the garden if you are in doubt in the mat- ter. But isn’t this true everywhere? The weeds will grow in the heart and mind of your little boy without any action- on your part, and, if let alone will crowd out eversthing else that you want to grow. You can let the weeds grow there so long that when you pull them out you will dislodge the grain also. But we must take facts as they are; they will grow everywhere, and we must pull them ogt and at the right time. We are stlll feeling many ‘evil effects of the Jate World war. In fact there is little that can be said in favor of it. It may be that along the lines of military discipline it may havye its favorable points, but this could be.gained by military practice quite apart from war. .One | l | thing has been noticeable in the returned soldiers and that is a decreased power to take the initiative. The reason. is perfectly apparent; not being due to any lack of principle, moral or otherwise. But due to the sole fact that while inder the army discipline it was his duty to take orders from his superiors and not to fol- low the inclinations of his own will. His thinking was all done for him, and he was not expected to do any .planning for himself. The habit of not doing grows and just as rapidly as the habit of do- ing. Hence when the war was over and the soldier was thrown again upon his own resources, ‘the long dormant faculty of planning and doing for himself refused to act. His will like his arm had been done up in a sling, and when released refused to work. Some of the strangest ‘whirligigs of fortune are the resultants of war, and some of the most mysterious alignments. I don’t suppose-that very many people living so far away from Juné 17, 1745, can possible get up very much asm over the fact that on that dats flu British captured the: town of Loulsburg, Nova Scotia from.the Erench: The Brit- ish admiral was greatly aided by the land forces under the -command of ‘the Brave ‘Willlam Pepperill. These forces were made up of contingencies from New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Connectf- cut. It was little more than ylctory for one forelgn nation over another om Ameri- can soil.

Muscavite and phlogopite are the only ones that are of impertance commercially. Mica . possesses 2 combination of spe- cial - qualities, the chief of which - are. elasticity, toughness, -flexibility,” trans- parency, ability to withstand - excesseve heat and sudden changes in tempera- ture, .high dielectric strength, cleavablli- ty into thin films, and reslstance to de- composition. . No other substance pos- sesses this combination of qualities, con- sequently no satisfactory substitutes for mica are known for the more important usés., The-brilllancy of the reflecting Sufraces give mica speclal value for dec- orative purposes. Muscovite in com- mercial sizes occurs in many parts of the world. 'Mica is found fn ‘masses known as “blocks” varying in width and length from a few inches to sev- eral feet, and In thickness from a frac- tion of an frich to 6 inches or more. Rum, ruby or gréen shades of color are most in demand. In @ recent year Canada, the United States, and India produced about 97 rer cent. of the world output of sheet mica. Of this amount India produces about 65 per cent. and the United States 15 per cent. Thé output of India and of the United States s entirely musco- vite, whereas, the Canadian production is mostly entirely phlogorite. ~The pre- ‘war yearly world consumption of sheet mica was estimated at 3,500 short tons. Of this, the United States consumed ap- proximately 49 per cent. In 1921 the mica ‘producing states in order of pro- duction were as follows: North Dako- ta, Virginia, New Mexico, Georgla, South Dakota, California’ and Wisconsin. Its ability to withstand heat and its high electrical résistance has led to wide ap- plicatfon of sheet mica in the electrical industries. An jmportant use of elec- trical mica is for inter-leaving between the copper segments of commutators. Thin films are used In vast numbers in condensers for magnetos and wireless apparatus. As sheets In greatly diver- sified shapes. or as washers and tubes, mica Is used extensively as an insula- tor In dynamos and in varlous fittings or appliances, 7in fuse boxes, sockets, in-- sulators, electric’ heaters, flatirons, " tele- phones, etc. As a heat-resisting trans- parent medium sheet mica has various uses. It was formerly widely employ- ed for stove windows, but this use has declined to- a considerabl exten®. Mica s also used in furnace sight-boxes, heat IV Great Men’s Love Letters Ricliard Steele to Molly Scurlock. The domestic life of Sir Richard Steele was one of unusual happiness and rare devotion. His first wife was the sister of a wealthy planter of Barbados. Her death followed their marriage in a very few months. While he had thought that he had been deeply in love with her, the experience of nis second union proved to him that it had been merely a tender re- gard. When he met Molly Scurlock, the daughter and sole heiress of Jonathan Scurlock, of the county of Carmathen, he would only wait one month for the W@dmx. and during the last few days of even this short period he occupied his entire time in thinking of her and in writing her letters, notes and verses. ‘When Richard Steele became acquaint- ed with her, she was 29 years of age. We awe the knowledge of his devotion to Moliy through the care with which she preserved every scrap of writing he di-| rected to her, not only through thelr en- gagement but through the 12 years of their union. After their marriage Richard called her “Prue,” and she contrived to fascinate him with“her grace, her pretty caprices and the demand of his affection and at- tentions. He wrote her notes every day of what he was doing and whom he was ‘meeting, and often at a convivial dinner he would leave the tabis a moment and send her a note by messenger, merely to ‘tell hér he was thinking of her, and was | hers, ever nnd ever. It was ‘in ‘this studied fashion that Steele wrte to Molly during their court- ship: “Madam: If my vigilance and ten thou- sand ‘wishes for your, welfare and repose could have any force, you last night slept in security, and had every good angel in your attendance. To have my thoughts ever fixed on you, to live in constant fear of every accident to which human life is Mlable, and to send up my hourly prayers to avert them from you; I say, Madam, thus to think and thus to suffer, is what I do for her who is in pain at my ap- proach, and calls all my tender sorrow lmwtlnenee “You are now before my cyes, my eyes that are. ready to flow with tenderness, but: cannot give relief to my gushing he,'.n ‘that dictates what I am.mow say- and yearns to tell you all its achings.

Owing to the resonance of mica, eir- cular of high muscovite are used extensively in phonographs, as sound- __promlng devices. Such sheets are used also In other -sound detecting instru- ments such u submarine detectors. Among miscellaneous uses are its ap- pHeation (ol‘ ornamental uses, particu- larly in.India, as a dreulug for wounds’ stitute and @s 2 sub; trait painting. Mica trimmings and materials that cannot be utfllzed for sheet mica or splittings . are fround and sold in pul- verized form. The recent development of for canvas in por- wide uses for ground mica has open- [ ed up a fleld of ‘utilizatlon for more mi- ca that was formerly wasfed, .and has thus helped to place the industry on a more nrontphle basls. The more im- pure and coarser types are used as a coating on far ropofing to prevent stick- 1:3; when rolled. Purer and finer grain- ed ‘mica’-are used in paints, ornamental tles and corcréte. A mixture of ground mica and powdered aluminum is said to make a rust-preventing paint of good quality. On’dccount of its heat-resist- ing qualities- ground mica is used in’ raflroad car-axle packings, in pipe and boiler coverings, in fire-proof paints, and In rubber. tires. Ground mica is .used in annealing steel, as an absorbent, for nitro-glycerin. in the manufacture of cer- fain explosives, as a component in roof- ing, as a filler in rubber and other pro- ducts, - in calico printing and as tire powder. It is used also in tinsel dec- orations and- as “Safta Claus snow” for. Christmas tree and window decoration. It is used widely for ornamentation in India-on lamps, pottery, curtains, cloth Ground mica mixed with starch is ap- plied to ‘cheap cotton to improve its appearance. It is used to some extent for: medicinal purposes, but fortunately this. use has not extended outside In- dia. The purest and finest ground mi- ca is used for wallpaper decorations, as ‘a lubricant for wooden bearings, and mixed with oil as a lubricant for metal bearings. On account of its potash con- tent ground mica may have some value as a fertilizer but its insolubule form would render it very slowly available for plant food. It has been found that mica may be used successfully as a flux in ceramic wares. ‘The mica industry is ¢haracterized by numerous small operations conducted in many instances by farmers who mine mica when the demand is strong, or at times when farming work are tempor- ily suspended. There are few mines op- erated continuously or on a large scale. Mica mining methods noted by the Bu reau of Mines have for the most rart been of the very simplest type, and mi- ca has been won by slow and laborious mtehods. Another 'factor that has dis- couraged proper development of the in- dustry is the Jow price at which im- ported India mica is sold. Feldspar is the most ambundant gangue mineral in mica mines, and as much of it is rure and of suitable com- position it may be employed in the pot- tery trades. * Feldspar is now beinz sold as a by-product of mica mines in North Carolina and New Hampshire. About 90 per cent. of all the mica mined in the Unites States is sorap. Most of it consists of material unsuited for sheet mica, while part of it is refuse from trimmings. Theré are tremendous accumulations of scrip mica in India, but very little of it has been utiliz- ed.
