A great deal of information concern ing street lights has come to the NEWS office from different sources. From the Coxsackie, N. Y. Union it appears that Coxsaokie had arc lights, didn't like them and now has incandescent street lights and the Union don't like them at all and calls them bug lights. We think there must be something wrong with the current or the lamps as Great Burlington made change from arc to incandescent lights and is satisfied, though we are informed the lamps there are 32 candle power. In Housatonic, where they use the same system as Ct Harrington, the streets are satisfactorily lit with incandescent lights, 32 candle power lamps at street functions. and 16 candle power lamps between the iunc- tions. Norfolk is lighted with 16 can- de power lamps having a white hood and we learn that the light is perfectly satisfactory. Our observations lead us 10 believe that Canaan can be satis. factorily lighted with incandescent lamps, and we think we voice the opinion of majority of the tax payers of the fire district when we say if we are to be taxed for street lights let them be electric lights. Really, it was the subject of electric lights which started the movement for the fire district al this time. Let every taxpayer in the district attend the meeting on Saturday afternoon where the committee will have considerable information to i'm part ss to lights, expenses, etc, and where in all probability vote will be taken to decide what lights we shal have.

The seventeeth annual report of the Connecticut Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that free employment bureaus in the cities have been success, but they also have some trying obstacles to over- come As the following extract from the report shows:
 The greatest difficulty has been met in trying to place shop hands and mill operatives. The bulk of Connecticut s laboripg population is found in these two classifications. During the last year, except in the strike periods, there has been a steady demand for such em- ployes. Yet the five free public em- ployment bureaus of the state have placed during their existence, only women. Time and again the superin- tendents have sought without avail to interest the large manufacturing com- panies in tho work. The usual reply is that the employment of subordinates is left entirely to the overseers of the different departments. The decided manner of all the overseers and their uniform stubbornness puzzled the su' perintendents of the various offices fol long time, and attemps to treat with the overseers and to induce them to patronize the stats offices have met al most without exception, by flat refusAls to hire help except in the ordinary way It was learned that widespread prao tice exists among the overseers of black mailing the men who work under then -of compelling them to pay tribut' for the privilege of employment.
 Investigation showed that it's exten is alarming; and that tho evils of thiI oppression are second only to thos' indulged in by private intelligence offices.

DoNn and HumoP.

MT. Cecil Aldin, an authority, gives it as his opinion that dogs as a rule are devoid of conscious humor. "The clown dog in a troupe of performing dogs, for instance, Is not really funny when he burlesques the performances of other dogs, but he seems to be fun ny to the spectators. I am afraid that the people who credit dogs with being Intentionally funny are deceiving them selves. A dog likes fun-a good romp and game with children-but his sense of humor has not been developed, and it is not subtle" A dogs best sense at humor, MT. Aldin thinks, is when he is being tickled. He opens his mouth, then screws his face into what people are pleased to call a laugh"
