IN CLOSE QUARTERS

State road building progresses favor
ably in northwestern Litchfield County.
The sooner all the roads are widened,
she sooner will come the end OF the con-
domination of the automobile by the
driving public. 1t is the meeting of the
horse and the auto in close quarters on
the narrow roads in this section that
causes the trouble. The man who has
room to manage his horse on road of
reasonable width is not the one who is
the most bitter in the denunciation of
the autoists for what is styled the usur-
patton of the the highways. Of course
the autoist who will, if he can, ignore
the rights of the drivers, will always
be with US and because of him, the
careful and considerable drivers Of cars
must also come under the BAN,

THE REM EDY

The hue and cry against the high
price of meats continues and not with
out reason. These prices are extortionate
and outrageous and the packers can ad-
vance no cause for it that anyone be-
heves. The people, however, have the
power to change conditions and bring
prices down to the normal level if they
see fit to exercise it. A decrease in the
consumption of meat would quickly
bring the packers to terms. And just
at this season of the year, when medical
authorities are agreed that too much
meat is eaten and that fruit and vege-
tables should be employed as asubstitute,
is most oprortune time to try the ex-
pertinent of lesssning the demand for
meat.

ADOPTS SIron9 nSSOIuII0nSs
Lexington, KY, Dec. 30-The most
important action of the Southern Edu-
cational Association, which closed it's
eighteenth annual session here Satur-
day, came at the last moment before
adjournment, when the committee on
resolutions presented the following
strong resolutions on negro education.
which were adopted unanimously:
We endorse the accepted policy Of
the states Of. the South in providing
facilities for the youth Of the negro
race, believing that whatever the ulti-
mate solution of this grievous problem
may.be, education must be an import
ant factor In that solution.
We believe that the education Of
the negro in the elementary branches
Of education should be made thorough
and should include specific instruction
in hygiene and home sanitation, for
the better protection Of both races.
Eve believe that in the secondary
education Of negro youths emphasis
should be placed upon Industrial, In
GLIDING nurse training. domestic
science and home economies. We be-
lieve that for practical. economical and
physiological reasons negro teachers
should be provided for negro schools Z

Tacoma, Dec. 2S.-It is nro,.,,

council and sold at auction p,as!
dent i. Z. Doud, of the council 10 ~
favor Of the innovation, and in faot ~
it is his suggestion. AS the first co.
towards such move the council hop
passed an ordinance limiting the mn"
Der OF saloon lincenses to their nroa
ent number Of 1873 until the civ h.s
a population OF 100000. It is the nra~ 40
alent opinion among the councilmo.
that there should not be more thu
one saloon to every thousand neon,a
in the city. For this reason ann,i
cations for new licenses have baon
refused for several weeks past ana
the council has now clinched its ~
titude in the matter by passing tho
ordinance and the measure has bean
signed by the mayor.
With the passing of the ordinance
it is found that all the saloon licenses
OF the city are at high premium and
the councilmen are wondering unonl
what basis they will grant licenses IN
new saloons when the growing popu.
|latfon of the city makes it possible
for a license to be granted. They all
admit that there will probably he
scores of applications for the one or
so licenses that can lie given fror,
time to time, each with as just right
as any other for recognition. Presi.
dent Doud says the only way out Of
the difficulty is for the council to put
up the licenses and sell them to the
highest bidder.

early hour Saturday morning totally

Home at Mortimer, seven miles from

Hazel Lee, 3 years old, and Iris Crab

In the nursery and was discovered by
Miss A. L. Hill, a day nurse. Miss
Hill awakened Mrs. Minnie Meyers,
the matron, and, then, after throwing
two children out of the window,
Jumped herself, sustaining slight in
juries.
Mrs. Meyers proved herself woman
of courage, for she rushed into the
dormitory where Is children were
asleep and began the task of getting
them out safely. The little ones
feared to face the flames alone and
she was compelled to make numerous
trips in order to get them all into the
open air.
One her last trip into the blazing
building Mrs. Meyers found herself cut
off by the flames. She jumped over
the banister through mass of flames
to the hall below. Here she lay
stunned until the pain from the heat
of her blazing night-dress aroused her
and she staggered to the door, which
gave way when she fell against it,
and she plunged to safety. She is
now at the Seattle General Hospital,
suffering from internal injuries and
severe burns, but her recovery is ex-
pected.
The homeless children are being
cared for by neighbors pending ar.
rangements for their care by the
directors of the home. Little Hazel
Lee had only been in the institution
three days, her mother, deserted by
both husband and father, dying pen
niless at the Wayside Hospital three
days ago.
