was apparently planned by nature as
great pleasure ground for autoists.
From the northern. districts Of the
greater city 10 New Haven there are broad
public highways close TO the shore line OF
the Sound All Of them are inviting to the
autoists Here and there the roads are wei
shaded by tall trees. Nearly everywhere
the public thoroughfares arc well kept
The district is not mountainous. IL is
slightly undulating As one travels over
the main public roadway parallelinS the
shore a good view Of the waters OF the
Sound may nearly always be had. And
what restfui views, The eye seems never
to tire looking Soundward.
Many Outdoor Pleasures.
For years this enhancing district has
been a popular summer vacation ground
There is q variety of outdoor pleasures

he bappv there. It is truly a land of many
delightful physical charms-a pleasure
ground for thousands and thousands OF
persons.
The industrial strength Of the district
from Norwalk TO New Haven is also one
of its principal realty assets. Connecticut
is noted for its manufactures. AT Bridge
port South Norwalk. Norwalk and Ne"
Haven there are large factory centres
They are not industrial zones which are
lacking in up-to-date sanitary measures
for the protection of the health of the en-
pIoyes. but in most instances model manu-

These places have been growing at a
quicker pace than speculative builders OF
small homes anticipated, and for that rea-
son the most pressing need there Is more
commodious homes for working people AS
the future of the factory areas of the sec

be many for a long time. Why, most OF
the big builders of Northerly New YORK
could find useful employment there for the
next twenty years, and even then there
would be ample room for other experienced
construction workers.

The principal objection to the state
cattle testing law made by the farmers
and dairymen and one that should re-
suit in the repeal or modification of
the law if it can be sustained is that
the test for tuberculosis prescribed by
the law is unreliable and that even af-
ter the test has been completed they
have no assurance that their herds are
free from the disease. This is the OBJ
lection that will have to be met and
overcome by the advocates of the law
If it is to remain on the statute books
of the state. The interests affected by
this law are too vast and too powerful
to submit to the enforcement of law
which puts them to considerable ex-
pense so long as there is the slightest
doubt as to its reliability. The great
majority of the dairymen are willing
TO admit that bovine tuberculosis must
be eradicated from the herds if Wis
consin is to maintain it's position as one
of the foremost dairying states but
they are practically unanimous in the
opinion that the tuberculin test is in
accurate and unreliable.

1t is stated that some final judgment
is to be handed down in Zion City at
fairs soon and we should think that all
of the people who have money invest
ed there would welcome almost any
kind of decision which would put an
end to the constant wrangling and
fighting which has kept the city all
stirred up ever since it was decided to
discharge the receiver, no matter which
faction comes out on top. The uncer-
tainty as to the future policy to be
pursued in the management of the af-
fairs of the city must have been de-
cidedly bad for business of all kinds
and whatever course the winning fac
ton finally adopts will be an improve
ment over present unsettled conditions.
The kind of advertising the warning
factions have been giving the city
lately is not calculated to recommend
it to investors or to promoters seeking
sites for new industries or to inspire
confidence in the minds of men who
already have money invested there.

Among male novelists Dickens
takes the lead as delineator of chill
idren. All kinds and conditions of
them flock through his books. He de-
picted life as he saw 1t and wherever
he looked there we're children, there
fore children had a natural and in
evitable place in his pages, says the
Indianapolis Star From the Fat Boy
of Pickwick Papers to Tiny Tim the
procession is long and includes
notable list - David Copperfield,
oliver Twist, Little Nell, Florence
Dombey and her brother, Poor 10,
the little Kenwigses, Toddles and
many more. If they are not children
exactly as readers of this day see
them they are children as he saw
them and he pictures them with
yividness that gives them a lasting
place in the readers mind. They
stand forth more clearly on mem
ory's wall" than the real personages
of history. Several of Thackeray's
characters are introduced in their
childhood, as Henry Esmond, Penden.
mis- and Becky Sharp, and are brought
along to maturity. but this is merely
by way Of accounting for their later
peculiarities and the child portraits
leave no special impression. Poe
never wrote of children. Hawthorne
did, bit of dream children rather than
those Of real life, Later male novel
lists for the most part ignore the
young Of thier race. Henry James
seldom realizes that children are on
earth. There is Maize to be sure,
but Maize is not real child. Thomas
Hardy is aware of them and intro
duces Jude as a boy, but dwells light
ly on this early life of his hero.

TRIED HARD TO DIE
VIM. Lenhart Stabs Himself
With Pocket Knife-Just
Misses Vital Spot
0EspONDENT OVER DIVORCE

William Lenhart, 20 years of age lies
in critical condition at his home on
South Ashland avenue as a result of
self inflicted wounds. In an effort to
commit suicide on Sunday afternoon
Lenhart plunged pocket knife into his
left side just over the heart making a
frightful wound and while the knife
went through the chest cavity it did
not strike vital spot and the physi-
clans attending Lenhart believe that
he has a chance to recover. There is
however, grave danger that blood pois-
oning may set in or that Lenhart may
be attacked with pneumonia as result
of his self inflicted injuries. 1t IS
claimed that domestic troubles caused
Lenhart to make the attempt on his
life. While not yet of age he was mar
ried some time ago to young woman
by the name of Clara Miller and their
married life had been anything but
happy. Many months ago Mrs. Len
hart started an action for divorce in
the Municipal court charging her hus-
band with extreme cruelty and with
desertion. At the time the case was
called for trial it was alleged that Len
hart had enlisted in the navy. Judge
Randall was unwilling to grant the de-
cree on the evidence presented and the
case is still pending. Lenhart made
his home with relatives on South Ash
land avenue and on Sunday he had
been Respondent most of the day. Late
lin the afternoon without any warning
he drew a knife from his pocket and
plunged it into his breast. DIR. j. r,
Eastman was called to attend the in.
jured man and when seen this after
noon he did seem to care to discuss the
case but he stated that there was a
chance for Lenhart to recover provided
| no complications set in. No report of
the attempted suicide was made to the
police of the city and every possible
effort was made to keep the facts in
the case from becoming public.

The report Of the state fire marshal
is being widely read and commented
upon all over the state and it is prob
able that some of the recommendations
he makes will be taken up by the legls-
lature during this session and an effort
made to enact them into law. No one
questions that the fire hazard could be
diminished considerably by following
a few simple rules sguested by the fire
marshal and the annual losses much re-
duced Whether or not the losses could
be cut down to an extent which would
result in any appreciable reduction in
the insurance rates is another matter
that need not be gone into at this time.

Horace Hill, aged 16 years. son OF
Frederick Hill, an employee of the as
sembly room at the plant OF the Thom-
as B. Jeffrey company who disappeared
from his home under unusual circum-
stances early in November is back with
his parents again. He was found on
farm sixteen miles from a railway sta
ton near West Bend, Wis, through the
efforts of one of the reporters employ
ed on the West Bend News. Frederick
Hill, the father of the boy who has
been employed with the Jeffrey com
pany for a number of years was for
mer keeper of the royal game preserve
of King Edward of England. He came
to this country some time ago as fol
lower of John Alexander Dowie and
after the collapse of the Dowie indus
tries came to Kenosha to work. He
still maintains his home in Zion City.
Young Hill was born ON the preserve
Of the late King of England and it is
claimed that he had wonderful know
ledge of the habits of game. He was
g. student of the out door life and he
chafed against the restrictions of Zion
City. He was boy suffering from the
wanderlust and called by the wild he
ran away from home last November.
The boy had been taught habits of
living out in the open and the members
of his family thought that he would
return within few days but as the
days passed and no trace was found
of him they began to get apprehensive.
A nation wide hunt was instituted for
him and police in many cities were
asked to watch for him. Months ago
Kenosha was searched but no
trace of the missing boy was
found. Advertisements were sent
to all parts of the country and the
search for young Hill bade fair to riy-
al the search made for E'Charlie Ross
years ago. After the cities had been
searched the parents Of the boy began
to insert advertisements in the smaller
papers in the sparsely settled regions
of northern Wisconsin. One of these
advertisements with an appealing let
ter was sent to West Bend and the pa
per there took up the search for the
boy. Every farmer that it reached was
asked to take personal interest in
the search and few days ago a farmer
living sixteen miles from West Bend
revealed the hiding place of the miss
ing boy.
Hills father was at once notified by
telegraph and he went to West Bend
and the boy returned with him. He,
however, does not expect to remain in
Zion City and his parents will permit
him to return to his accepted life in
the wild country in northern Wiscon-
sin. The boy is said to be an expert
guide for sportsmen.

SEES BIG INCREASE.
State Fire Marshal Purteu Claims the
Rates Have Been Decreased.


According to the annual report of
State Fire Marshal I. NJ. Purtell, the
reduction OF the fire hazard in Wiscon-
sin in the last four years has reduced
fire insurance premiums from IL to Is
per cent.
This means, says the report, an an
nual saving of $1,50o,oo0 in prs&iiums.
Mr.. Purtell makes several recommen-
dations. He favors instruction of chill
dren in schools regarding fires and
their prevention. He also recommends
a state building code. He says that To-
cal building codes are being ignored
and that the fire hazard thus is not be-
ing lowered where it might be dimin-
ished considerably.
Statistical tables show the manner in
which fires causing losses of nearly
100000 were started. Sixty fires
were started by children playing with
matches and fifty more by carelessness
with matches among adults.
~ hope that the legislature will pass
a law forbidding the use of matches
other than those lighted On the contain
ing box" said Mr.. Purtell at Madison
a few days ago. Every European
country has such law. We have no
idea of the number of fires started by
matches
