CONNECTICUT ROADS.

Many stretches of road have been improved in the State of Connecticut this past season, and the roads to Norwalk are all in good condition. In this city a $200,000 paving construc- tion has just been completed, and the streets are now in fine order. The Bureau of Tours of The Automobile Club of America recommends this as a nice run for lunch. with a com fortabIe return in the afternoon.
 Good roads will also be found on through FairdeId, Bridgeport and Stratford to New HavenN The road by way of Derby to New Haven is in somewhat better condition than the Milford Pike.
 Especial attention should be called >to two towns where the police are de- cidedly active. These are the towns of Fairfield and Stratford. The town officials in Darien also have ex- pressed a desire to establish speed trap in their town.
 After reaching New Haven the road by way of Durham and Midd1etown is in a more satisfactory condition to Hartford than the Meriden route. It has the additional advantage of much more attractive scenery.

COURTESY RESULTS
 IN SALE OF AUTO

A Chicago salesman was bowling along the street in a coupe some weeks ago returning from a demonstration. The weather had suddenly turned cold and a drizzle of rain was soaking
 many pedestrians who were unprepar- ed for the shower. Some distance up the street he noticed a lady and gentleman vainly hail several street cars. packed to capacity by the unex- pected shower. which would not stop for the couple waiting at the corner. As the driver of the car reached them he stopped and invited them to ride with him. They gladly accepted and were soon set down at their destina- ton. The matter then went from the salesman's mind until the other day when he was called to the phone.
 Hello said the voice, s'Is this the party who picked up a. lady and gen tleman in a rainstorm some time ago ?'' The salesman admitted he was. We'll went on the voice."I'm the man you picked up and I wanted to tell you that am mailing you a check for one of those coupes. Now

COLOR sCHEn1E,Is LATEST FAD.

The automobile paint shops of In dianapo1is seem to be in line for a record run of business due to the elite of the city adopting a color scheme for their cars and apparel. ss F One young society woman who al- ready has quite a local reputation as an adept driver recently appeared at the wheel of coupe which was paint ed an attractive shade of lavender and finished in lavender upholstering and broadcloth. Her gown, hat, gloves and shoes were also of b11is color.
 Society thought the idea was the incest ever and the color scheme for car and driver immediately sprang into vogue. Then started the parade of motor cars to the various paint shops-a stop on the way being made at the modistes to arrange; for the. new gown.
 Another young lady who is driving a brand new car, bright yellow in color, is trying to decide whether her beauty can stand that particular shade or whether she will have to follow the crowd to the paint shop.

CARE OF TIRES.

There are so many different factors having an influence on the usage Of tires that no rule for imitation can be adopted which will be exactly suit, able to all conditions. Style of car construction, the weight and it's distrf- button, power, road conditions. speed, the expert or careless driver, effect Of climate and numerous other things all have important connections with the strains to which the tires will be Sub- jected. Consequently fixed rule for imitation would, in view of these things produce different results.
 The schedules of imitation recom- mended by the tire companies provide a basis from which to work. Ordin- arily the tires on front wheels should be inflated from 15 to 8 lbs. per inch of tire section and the rear tires from Is to 20 &zs. per inch of tire section. For example: 4 inch tires on front wheels from 60 to 72 lbs. and the rear from 60 to 80 lbs. The varia- ton in these pressures naturally de- bends upon the things before men toned, principally the weight of car. For instance--tires on a car weighing 1,S0O lbs, do not require as much air pressure as the tires on a car weigh ing 2,500 lbs The tires ride hard when pumped up to high pressure and used on light cars but with the same pressure ride comfortafb1y on 4 heavy car.
 Tn determining the correct size of tire and the proper imitation, it is inn- portant to know the weight of car and it's distribution on the front and rear wheels. Run front half of car on platform scales and make note of the weight. Then place only the rear half of car on scales recording this weight also. The weight carried by each tire will be one half of either of the respective amounts

duced. Cey1on during the last few years has come to the front as a great rubber producing state. Hundreds Of thousands of acres are under cultfva,- ton and the quality of gum produced is very high. Rubber from Africa and Mexico fall lowest in the scale.
 Only with the utmost difficulty is rubber gathered in a the jungles of South America. Natives of the sec ton are engaged in the work and of- ten they must fight their way through wild-aninna1 infested forests for miles to reach the rl1bber-bearing trees. The gum is obtained after the fashion employed in gathering maple syrup,
 On the Indians return to camp, the gum which they have collected is smoked. The usual method is tn thrust a, stick into the liquid rubber and then turn it over a slow fire made of very oily palm nut, tthe best fuel that can be used) until that which has been picked up has hardened. Again and again is this repeated until a great ball or ham, of smoked rub Der is formed. It is shipped in that form, containing many impurities and when received here must be washed. The cultivated rubber is fdr the most part clean and generally is ready for compromising when received.

THE NOLAN pRIvER.

Women drivers are almost inyar- iab1y careful and considerate and when they are possessed of the neces- sary nerve they are generally better drivers than men. They have got a far greater nfcety of touch and excel lent judgment A woman driver, however, who does not possess nerve is a serious danger to the entire com munity, and.9 it must be admitted by all except the radical suffrageEtes. there is a larger proportion of women who do not possess this necessary qualification than there are of men.

BOARD PLANS TO
SUPPLY DOCTORS
TO OPEN REGISTER TO ASSIST
PUBLIC IN PROCURING
PHYSICIANS,

Impressed by the numerous requests
supply physicians and to procure sub
stitutes and assistants to aid private
practitioners, the State board of
health announced today the opening of
a register In it's Office for the listing
Of physicians who wish to move and
for the convenience of localities which
stand in need of more doctors. Free
access will be given this register by
all inquirers and efforts win be made
to prepare a complete list of those sec
tons of Virginia where the needs of
the public demand more physicians.
The board has been surprised to
find," says The weekly bulletin is
sued yesterday, that there is in Viz
ginia no channel of communication
between physicians and the public OK
cept through the medical magazines.
We recently received request from u
prominent physician OF the State to
furnish him a substitute during two
months that he would be absent from
home. and we found it practically i'm
possible to get a man on short notice.
I'VE have observed, also, that the
physicians Of the State are not dis
tributed geographically, either for the
best service to the public or for their
there are more physicians than are
needed, with in other districts there
are not enough doctors to attend the
sick. The board believes that for the
convenience of the public. ii should
keep a record Of those localities which
need more doctors and should COM
municate list of suitable openings to
accredited inquirers. Other physicians
wish. for personal reasons, TO change
their residence and should. we think,
be given such information as we can
gather.
Accordingly we ask physicians who
wish to change their residence.
physicians who need assistance or sub
stitutes. and physicians who wish to
enter practice in Virginia to send their
names and q brief statement of their
wishes to the Office OF the board. In
particular, we ask friends in COM
munities where physicians are needed
for the proper care Of the sick to COM
municate with the board and to ex-
plain their wants. II this be done. wa
hope within q few months to have a
register which will be OF service to the
public, to the medical profession and
Of beneft to the better health Of the
people"

SCHOOL ACCOUNTING.

In his annual report the superintendent Of
public instruction makes plea that some action
be taken by the Legislature to make the system
of school accounting less complex. study OF
the report shows that he is entirely within
reason In so asking. The system is cumber
some and unsatisfactory and some means should
be adopted by which the school accounts could
become as clear as those Of any business.
Mr. Stearnes shows that the department of
public instruction Is expressly forbidden by
statute to inquire into on supervise school &C
counts, and yet the department is frequently held
responsible for errors made in the settlement Of
school aorounts. He shows that In making set
Element with county treasurers the school
official must so to the records of the
the State corporation commission get the
facts on which the settlement Is to be based.
He must consider no less than five different rates
Of treasurers' commissions and he must con-
slider two phases of collections,
In this age of business methods In State of
fees the need &C proper systems is reasonable.
The cumbersome methods OF the past are being
done away with Systematically and modern
methods are being employed The department
Of public instruction find much more
profitable ways of spending time than IN
strengthening the devious calculations of book
keeping in force.
1t is to be hoped that the general assembly
will heed Mr.. Stearnes' plea and enact measures
for his relief and the relief of his department.

A Commendable Change of Heart.

We note with interest but without surprise.
that the Richmond Times Dispatch in
menting a few days upon the introduction
of a bill in the general assembly proposing to
prohibit the sale Of intoxcants on the grounds
wherupon agricultural fairs exhibitions are
being had commended the proposed law and
advocated its passage. IT was generally known
that the same paper has always advocated the
extension of license to the State Fair associa-
ton at Richmond, but at that time there was no
way of enforcing the strong public sentiment
which opposed such sale the grounds. Now
however, when there is a strong likelihood and
practical certainty that such statute will
be enacted. our contemporary has suddenly rea-
lized the improperly of such sales OF intoxi-
cants on fair ground, and inpressivey urges
the prospective law. Whatever has operated
to bring about this changed view. we are glad
to note It, even though our contemporary con-
tributed none of the impetus to the demand for
this particular prohibitive statute. Whatever
may be ones view of licensing the sale of in
toxicants at proper times and places and under
adequate surveillance there are but few not
directly interested who will attempt to Justify
such sales at fair ground.-Danville Pee
