Merry Widow Hats.

A potent reason why men do not at- tend church and the remedy for it have been discovered at the Calvary Baptist Church in Torrington. The women found that many men refu@ ed to come because the women wore such large hats that they could not see the minister. Sunday night the hats were removed and the men were out in force The pastor. Rev. Otis w. Foye, congratulated the women on their ac- tion and the men on their presence. He told his people that during his three years pastorate he had been playing a peek-a-boo game with his congregation.

AS predicted, anti-auto measures are beginning to appear in the General As sembly. On Tuesday there were in- troduced bills to limit the speed of au- tos in cities and boroughs to twelve miles per hour, and to establish the office of commissioner of motor vehi- cles for examinations of autoists. If smoe such measures, and others of re- strictive tendencies do not become laws, it will be due wholly to timely action by the automobile clubs. The speed limit, or rather the absence of other limit than the conditions of road and traffic, is the point specially aimed at by the autophobists. Suitable exam nations of chauffeurs and private driv- CTS might exclude some unsafe men from the licensing privilege and thus enhance the public's safety.

finances the undertaking and makes the land sales. The trustees represent the interests of the other contracting par ty who may be said to be in one sense the subscribing land owners and in an other the entire community. To the trustees is paid over the z5 per cent. of the money received by the directors from land sales and such other sums as may come to them. They are to in- vest these sums and apply the in- come towards building dams and car- rying out other betterments designed
 to add to the towns attractiveness.
 MT. Tweedy, who framed the work ing details of the project from MT. TomllnSon's prospectus, is well known as lawyer of ability and long ex- perience and people generally do not believe that an instrument which he would be so defective as Taxpayer thinks. In short the community knows MT. Tweedy and it does not know Tax payer or his legal adviser. Therefore the general conclusion is that the un- known legal adviser speaks without due knowledge or authority.
 The principal other point or scare made by Taxpayer is that the increase of prices brought about by the project would have a repellant effect on pros- pective buyers and thus cause the towns expansion to be less rapid than if it's development were left to proceed along normal lines. There would be no little force in this argument if the prices were high to start with, were upon any such present basis say as prices in Ridgefeld or sections of the Berkshire region. But when the first price is relatively very low even two doublings of it do not bring the final figure to a sum sufficient to alright those disposed to purchase. Were the land sought for farming purposes with view to return of income upon in- Vestment the case would be entirely diff ierent. The plan, however, is to place on the market parcels of few acres each for home sites. Certainly those wishing to obtain such sites would not be inclined to consider un- reasonable a price of from $1OQ to $500 per acre.
 Tn comparing Bedding with Easton and Weston as competitive regions for the patronage which the Tomlinson plan invites. Taxpayer speaks like one not we'll informed. The natives here do not think themselves vainglorious over their towns natural advantages of cont our and scenery but they do re- gard them as so much superior to those of the other towns mentioned that they feel comparison implying anything or equality to be wholly out of place.
 After all why did Taxpayer go to so much trouble to utter warning cries expressive of the solicitude for us which he professes to feel when he de- clares in the same breath that no sane person will act as capitalist for the enterprise. If this is so the project is deal already and all these forebodings are quite superf1uous

The talk of Senatorial displeasure with Premier Marigold and Executive Secretary Rorabaclx of the Hill Cab- inet, and of a Senatorial intention to punish them even as Allen of Middle town was punished, seems to have reached the stage of t'innocuous desue- tude." It had no visible effect upon the Executive Secretary and most certainly not upon the Premier who might perchance say, if hosti1ely ac- costed:

The Japanese object to being classed with Mongolians, claiming to be of a superior race, and 1t is an indisputable fact that they stand far in the lead. Now, the Chinese of San Francisco are objecting to the extension of any rights and privileges to the Japanese, which are denied to them, the evident argument being that of equality or, in other words, denial of the Japanese claim of superiority. Bearing some what upon this point is the statement
