From the Record:
Papers of the state are criticising
the "scourching" of local auto drivers,
and justly so. Elkton has a speed

placed heralding the fact. We are

to do so. Will our city council please

INVENT NEW MUFFIER
 FOR MOTOR BOATS

United States patent has been is- sued to Edwin A. Hall and Frank G. Hall. former students of Sheffield Scientific school of Yale, for a novel form of muffler or silencer for motor boat exhauSts. Heretofore the motor boat has used the ordinary muffler of the automobile, which muffles the through many small holes in a clos ed chamber Such device gets very hot and puts back pressure on the motor. Water being so plentiful about motor-boats, it occurred to the Halls, who are brothers, 1903 Shelf and 1889 Shelf respectively, to cool the exhaust gas just as it issues from, the motor bv mixing with it all of the water circulated from the cylinder jackets. It was found that a thorough mixture would take place and no friction or back pressure if the gas was given a Whirling motion and passed through a sheet of water Also the heat of the exhaust was instantly subtracted and resultantly the pressure-eliminat- ign practically all noise.
 The device, which is known to the navy department as the Hydrex si- lencer. has been tested by a United States naval inspector and received approval It is thought that this in- vention will overcome the objections from residents along water fronts caused by unceasing noise of pleasure and working boat exhausts.
 If suitable arrangements can be made for getting the intricate casting the silencer may be made in New

Magnitude of q Million.

In some public schools where large halls are available an effort has been made to realize the meaning of mil lion. They secure 100 large sheets of paper, each about four feet six inches square, ruled in quarter inch squares, In each alternate square a round black wafer or circle is placed, little overlapping the square. thus leaving an equal amount of white space be- tween the black spots. At each tenth spot a double width is left so as to separate each hundred spots. ten by ten. Each sheet then holds 10000 spots, each horizontal or vertical row containing 1000. One hundred such sheets contain, of course. million spots, and they would occupy a space 450 feet long in one row or ninety feet long in five rows. so that they would entirely cover the walls of a room about thirty, feet square and tVNnty-five feet high from floor to ceUing, allowing space for doors. but not for windows, The Bible from

 Are Made Today

Before Judge Booth of Danbury in the police commissioners room in the Police & Charities building this af- ternoon, opposing counsel put in their final arguments in the case against Dr. F. B. Downs of this city for al- legged Malpractice resulting in the death of Mrs. Clayton Wrisley of Der by.
 The small room was crowded with spectators, including a number of prominent physicians and business men.
 Attorney W. A. Redden opened for the state.
 ''The case thus far has been greatly simplified,' declared Attorney Red- den, "by the fact that there has been no testimony on the part of the ac- cused.
 Attorney Redden then read from decision of Judge Wheeler, defining "probable cause" as a city court should accept the term. The prose- cutor declared he would attempt to show that probable cause should be found against Dr. Downs.
 He then began very careful and exhaustive review of the evidence, in- cluding the testimony of Drs. Loomis. Bartlett and Bacon, tending to show that Mrs. Wrisley had died from the effects of a criminal operation. At press time this afternoon Attorney Redden had not finished the argument for the state.
