If they got together under Ia contract why shouldn't they be bound to the contract unless one or the other does something which in the eyes of all men, ought to permit or require at least separation if not a divorce.
 The trouble is not that in an ln- diyidual case demoralization follows because they are separated, but the trouble is that when a man or wo- man feels that it is only question of option with her whether she will live with her husband, or he with his wife then with that option before them they conduct themselves in such a way very frequently as nec- cessarily to lead to a breach.

 Near the Gas Fields

Houston, Texas. Sept. 25.--In or der to determine which pipe lines are under the jurisdiction of the Inter- state Commerce commission, and whether the rates, classifications, regulations and practices of those companies which are under it's juris dietion are unjust, unreasonable or discriminatory or otherwise, in vio- lation of the interstate commerce laws. hearing was held' here to- day.
 | The case was heard in the cham Der of commerce rooms, Commission CT Lane conducting the hearing and A. G. Gutheim appearing as attor- ney for the commission.
 The hearing is being held on mo ition of the commission and not as a result of any specific complaint. Int it's order, however. the commits sion states that it is in receipt of numerous complaints charging dis icrimination, prejudice and numerous violations of previous rulings and or ders.
 Commissioner Lane took a promin- ent part in the hearing and instead of mere presiding, examined the va rious witnesses with more minute ness and on smaller details than the attorneys on either side. Frequent fly he grasped the ideas of the law lyers faster than they could state them and interceded, taking tho cross examination entirely out of their lhands and conducting it for a while in his own way and entirely to l.ieir satisfaction.
 From tie beginning of the hearing to the cicse, both Comm is,oncr Lane and Attorney Guthiem asked ques- tions in an attempt to show that the oil companies are charging rates and practices which makes it impossible for oil producers to ship their own oil to the coast and place it upon the market there.
 The oil companies in response to these questions admitted that pro- ducers found it more profitable to sell their product to the oil rompanles and that the companies piped the oil as their own property. although they were obliged to act as common carriers under ihe terms in which they secured their charters.
 There were frequent tits between the lawyers representing the inde pendent companies and those general fly regarded as having some connec- ltion with the Standard Oil company ! One more than one occasion the at torneys for the independent compa nies asked questions in an effort to make it appear that the Standard Oil company or its auxiliaries hal been especially favored In several in- stances and had been given advant- ages by both the federal government and various states, which were de nied to the other companies. Considerable time was spent on this feature and care was taken by the attorneys for the independent companies to have the records show that they were subject to require ments and regulations from which the Standard oil company and it's auxiliaries were exempt. In this connection, letters and other doca mentary evidence was submitted to prove their contentious.
 Commissioner Lane win hear testi- mony on the question of rice rates Involving Houston. Beaumont, Gal weston and New orleans tomorrow af- Iternoon.

Suffrage1tes :

The most notable inefdsnt of the last week of the suffrage tcampaign in Litchf1eld County WAich#cemes to an end with the last d4&r6~A ugast was the remarkable advertising which it got from a theatrical company in Win gted. When the4zsuffragists reached thi0 remarkable news centre of the United States a musical comedy was holding the stagem=atsthea local opera house The press AEen& of he theatri- cal company paid Aalribute to the drawing powers of the suffrage speak CTS by plastering the town with pos ters annonncing thatssvThe. Girl Who Dared" E&ald addresfaher fellow suf fraeettes at the Opera House tonight. Helped by this extra publicity for the cause the meeting of the suffragettes at the Gilbert School Hall was full to overflowing and. the speeches received the closets attention of a deeply in terested audience. s While the suffragettes were touring Winsted on one of the proceeding days preparatory to the meeting there on Monday they held an impromptu meet ing at the Knife Factory. They pre- se4ted their arguments to an assembly of sabout-a hundEed fth9-workpeople reEresenting six or seven nationalitieS and obtained the signature of B men and one woman to the profession of belief in equal suffrage for men and women.
 The bad weather and the frequent thunder showers of the last week have in nterfered to some extent with the pro- gram of the suffrage camPaigners. At Pleasant Valley on Friday evening, the storm was so heavy that it was impossible to assemble an audienc& 4 Added to this was the fact that at the last moment the key of the school hohse where the meeting was to have been held could not be found. Nothing daunted the suffragists adjourned to a parlor kindly offered for the occasion and concentrated their arguments on the ten persons who had dared the storm to such good effect that nine Vt ere converted and there is good pros peet also of winning the tenth. In view. of this disappointment a second meeting at Pleasant Valley was ar- ranged for Tuesday evening which Mrs. Edward Porritt was summoned from Hartford to address.
 With the wind-up of the Litchfield County campaign the Suffra gistS are1 already laying plans to besiege the other counties in which work has not been at a standstilI even during the campaign. A new league has just been organized at Madison where a most enthusiastic audience of over 300 resi- dents and summer visitors assembled last Friday At this meeting the chair was taken by Miss Rutz-Rees of Rose mary Hall, Greenwich, and addresses were made by Colonel Osborne of New Haven and Representative Range of Guilford who introduced the women's bill in the House of Representatives

turers are not genuine and that the newspapers containing the puzzles cannot legally be, sent through the mails.
 The nature of these puzzles varies, but the usual advertisement offers a large prize for the best or the near est'' solution of puzzle the. answer to which is fairlytobvious. The person who send in the answers are usually disappointed and find that the award of the prize is contingent upon condi- tions that they had failed to consider part of the contract.
 The Chicago Tribune recently called attention to a case of woman in Michigan who sent in an answer to a puzzle in an advertisement of a. Chi cago piano concern. She received a letter telling her that her solution was correct, and that she would receive a s2o0 prize coupon" and a diamond ring. She was invited to call to re- ceive the prize. She spent st to get to Chicago and there found that the prize coupon represented discount. so named, from the purchase price of a piano which she was urgently ad- vised to buy on easy terms.
 In this case says The Tribune, S7 was all the money the woman had and it took that to buy her railroad tick ct. Her family was without food as a result of the efforts to get a prize that was found not to exist.

HERE'S THE RECORD
 FOR KILLING SNAKES

Clifford G. Hawley of Meadow View farm, who is widely known in New Haven county as an expert in the raising of chickens, can now lay claim to holding the record for killing snakes according to the statisticians of Ok ford. Friday afternoon of last week MT. Hawley killed forty-five large blacksnakes with the assistance of his pet woodchuck dog, Spotty, but the killing was not accomplished without some difficulty. One of the largest of the reptiles put up hard battle with the dog before it was killed.
 MT. Hawley was at work in his corn field. when the dog attracted his at tention by making a disturbance at a blocked opening in a ladge of rocks. Going to the assistance of the dog, Mr. Hawley rolled away a large stone from the hole and a second later the earth appeared to be black with crawl ing reptiles. The snakes resented the disturbance and they crawled out of the hole in a drove. Man and dog im- mediately got busy, MT. Hawley with a hoe and Spotty with her sharp teeth
 It was only a few minutes, but MT. Hawley said he never worked so hard in his life The snakes were vicious

 In commenting upon the proposed route, Chairman George c. Diehl of the National Good Roads Board con- cisely puts forth these words: "A good broad highway, connecting his toric Gettysburg with the capital of the Nation will be travelled by thou sands, where now the route is fol- bowed by hundreds, owing to it's serv- ing as a road in name only. Motor driven vehicles are interstate as well as intra-state, and that which they accomplish in obliterating State lines will prove more seffectfve than any other means in cementing this nation into a solidif1ed whole, for where men meet and exchange views there has been . broadening of the viewpoint and . more thorough undertanding of the want of one another.a

Care Of Tires U. s. Tire Company Issues h. structions to All App
 plicants

There have been lot of us grown up Johnnys buying automobiles during the past few years. When we nrst got behind that big steering wheel we felt just as we did when we first tied a red drum around our neck. And we knew just about as much regard ing motor cars as we used to about drums
 The result was that our car rolled haltingly back to the repair shop af- ter a few weeks and we spent the ln- terval while our car was laid up m expressing our views as to the car makers character, ability and ances- try And there was no parental hand to lead us out into the woodshed.
 Perhaps the car makers have been more or less to blame in the past. They haven't spent enough time show ing us how to use our new buzz wag- ons At least that is the way num- Der of the most prominent manufac- turers have figured it out.
 With the result that the past sea- son has witnessed the establishment of Service departments by these car makers, with the object of providing not only stations where repairs can be made and spare parts can speedily be obtained, but also of seeing to it that owners know how to treat their cars properly in order to get the best pos sible service out of them.
 And they are working along the right lines. There is no question about it. The automobile of today
