West Haven Fireman Thought to Be Among
 Savin Rock Fire Ruins
Especial from United Press. )

New Haven, July 2O.-The ruins of Banty's Savin Rock restaurant which was destroyed by fire on July ,, will probably be searched within a few days for the body of Walter Hawley, member of the West Ha- ven volunteer fire department who has been missing since the fire.
 Young Hawly was known to have responded to the fire alarm and was seen buSying himself fighting the flames. When he failed to return home it was supposed he was off for a good time. But this has extended now for two weeks or more and friends of the man are making de- mands for a careful search of the fire ruins.

Those who only have a moderate amount of time at their disposal or take their vacation on 'the day at a time plan," is a foregone conclu- sion, so those who have tried it say, that the trip across the Sound on the steamer Park City, on any week day and Sunday afternoon, is full of sa tisfaction- The sail is most en- joyable and just long enough.

farmers have become comparatively rich
In recent years and do not need to exert
their energies in what might be called
the by-produets of the farm.
Less Meat Is Produced.
It was testified before the committee
that much less meat is produced in this
vicinity because the local butchers do
not find il profitable longer to dress
meats. The abbatoir and the packing
house, 1t was grimly stated, have ruined
their business. Considerable stress was
laid upon the notion that among con-
sumers, especially In Washington. there
Is growing demand for the best cuts OF
meats, freshest eggs, highest priced but
ter. and the best quality Of everything.
Dealers declare emphatically that the
consumer, as they know him, does not
want to live cheaply. They said that
grocers and most market men have no
call whatever for the cheaper grades OF
meat, and two or three dealers of the
northwest section testified that they
bought hind quarters and ribs in New
York from which had been cut away the
plate, brisket. and chuck for the tene-
ment trade in that city. These dismem-
bered carcasses are brought 10 Washing
ton and sold to suit the more aristocratic
palates Of the Capital.

dressing 1--we animals for the local trade.
He declared that it was due TO the fact
that only the choice portions Of the car
cass were salable and the rest was prac-
tically waste
The exact relation between the cold
storage warehouse and the production Of
eggs upon the average farm was not
brought out before the committee Wit
nesses willingly testified that the cold
storage served to level prices when they
were high, but not one OF them could be
brought to admit that It served to de-
press the prices when they were low. es-
pecially TO the producer, and yet il is
common complaint among the farmers
that the buying Of eggs in the spring and
summer at low prices and the refusal to
buy them on the part Of the packers in
the later months, when the price should
advance. have made the production Of
eggs Improbable.
The relation between the modern cream
cry and the farm dairy was brought
out before the committee There is no
large creamery in or near Washington,
bat creamy butter up TO 80 per cent Of
the product consumed here is brought in
from outside points Farmers in the vi
cinity Of Washington say there can be no
profit in supplying 10 per cent OF the
market at the Capital and at the same
time competing with the prices Of cream
cry butter. From the viewpoint OF the
agriculturist, the creamery has ruined
butter production on the farm. just as
the cold storage warehouse has that OF
eggs.
The work Of the committee has demon
strated that the food problem IS one of
far-reaching interest and Importance.

Need for Cotton Seed.

With increasing Gcreages in cotton the
question of seed is important, and has
recently come under particular consider
alton. So far most of the seed has been
imported from Egypt During 1908 some
l65 tons Of cotton seed, costing about
$3.50. were drawn from there by the
committee alone. besides considerable
amounts which were imported from the
same source By the larger plantations
The seed SO far obtained has in no way
been Of superior quality. and it IS feared
that In the importation OF vet larger
amounts even greater difficulties viii be
encountered in obtaining the desired
quality
The Washington herald. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1906-1939, 1910-02-06

From these figures it appears that the
Capital in 1903 not only increased its own
record for 1908 by more than S3,O0OOO0 but
that IL surpassed cities Of much greater
population. For example, the permits for
building issued in Washington are almost
double those issued in the nearby city
Of Baltimore. The number is greater than
that Of Buffalo or Rochester, two cities
that have been for many years growing
very rapidly It even exceeds Cleve-
land. Denver, and Kansas City, is close
up to the record Of Boston, and is about
equal to that Of Portland, Greg.

like subway station, and at the
foot of the steps is a platform, moor

flat-bottomed scows. Each scow has
four men, in rubber trousers, who
push boatloads Of passengers through
this underground passage. The sew
age water is about three feet deep,
and every little way are small sew

The boats are pushed along for
perhaps a mile, and then halt is is
made. In front is an enormous pipe
Of fresh water, and on the pipe is
small car track, with train of two
seated cars on it. Beneath is the for
mer place. There are many smaller
pipes of fresh water, which carry the
drinking water to all parts of the
great metropolis. This car track takes
one a little bit further than the
boats. The terminus is like the en-

ways, because it has the cars too

Tails Useful and Beautiful.

Tailless animals seem greatly to be
pitied. See what uses the lucky
ones put their tails to! Horses, cows,
and other creatures use their tails as
fy-fappers. Cats, squirrels. and many
more twist them round their necks
Tor comforters. The rat has raised
the use of the tail to a fine art, for by
its means it guides the blind and steals
jelly, oil and cream out of jars and
bottles.
The macaco plays as merrily with
Its tail as a kitten does, and the
marmoset, while it sleeps, uses its
tail as a sort of blanket.
The Ateles monkey and jaguar fish
with their tails, and the raccoon
catches crabs with its tail, quite un-
like an oarsman. Every one knows
how the monkeys journey through
pathless forests by swinging from tree
to tree, while the fishes steer their
way through the water by their tail

Shin Brakes a Success.

After FIVE days trial of the new
brakes which had been fitted to her
sides, the battleship Indiana put ba *
to the Philadelphia navy yard, her
officers all expressing satisfaction
with the way the brakes had worked
Both Captain Sherman, in command
of the ship and Captain Thomas, who
came here from Washington to make
the test, said that they were well
pleased with the results obtained.
Captain Thomas said the 1ndi-
ana had cruised along the Delaware
and had tried the brakes under all
conditions. While it takes the or.
dinary battleship considerable time
to stop, even with engines reversed,
Captain Thomas said that. equipped
with the new brakes, the Indiana
was able to stop within half her
length.
The big brakes are of metal and fit
ted to each side of the vessel. They
are operated by levers in the engine
room, and when the order is given
can be made to extend perpendicular

The Sun Gods Festival.

When we were travelling in India
we happened to be staying in the city
of Jeypoor while the festival to cele-
brate the birthday of the sun god was
going on. They believe him to be
very powerful, and think he is either
good to them, sending good harvests,
or cruel, and destroying their crops
with his fierce rays. So in the spring
they get up grand procession and
go to his temple and pray to him to
be merciful and considerate. We en-
joyed that procession better than any
circus procession we ever saw, and it
would take too long to describe all the
native princes and other things we
saw. First, they went to the temple
of the sun god, who came out to meet
them in kind of chariot drawn by
pure white ponies. He was an image,
about two feet high, with wax face
In front of him there was Hindu
tanning him. so as to keep him from
melting or being annoyed by the flies.
After the procession had passed we
went to visit the palace Of an Indian
prince, but 1 will have to tell you
about it some other time.-Violet
