JEWISH SOLDIERS
 GET PRAISE FOR
 GALLANT CONDUCT

London, Nov. 29-The Zion Mule Corps, composed of Jewish refugees from Jerusalem, gets official notice in the latest awards from the Darda- neIles. The honor of Especial men tion'' goes, to Private NisseI Rosen- berg; a member of the Corps, while Sir Ian Hamilton pays the following tribute to the organization in 8 let ter:
 Ut may interest you to know that I have here, fighting under my or- ders, a. purely Jewish unit. As far as I know this is the first time in the Christian era that such a thing has happened. The men who compose it we're cruelty driven out of Jerusalem by the Turks, and arrived in Egypt with their families absolutely desti- tute and starving.
 "A complete transport corps was there raised from them for voluntary service against the Turks, whom they naturally detest. These troops were officially described as the Zion Mule Corps. and both officers and rank and file have shown great courage in taking water and supplies up to the fighting lines, under heavy fire.'

at its last meeting instructed its sec retary, Herman N. Tiemann, Sr., to forward protest to the selectmen against the practice of placing posters and advertisements on the front of the town hall. Something will be done about it, either by directing the janitor to stop the practice absolutely or causing the persons using the hall to furnish movable display frames to be leaned against the building. These may be. removed afterwards. It was hinted that it might prove a good in vestment for the town to furnish these requisites and charge for their use.
 First Selectman Ephraim D. Briscoe says the janitor, as custodian of the hall, has full powers, and sees no req son why the building should not be protected from damage, but thinks it is not necessary to adopt an ordl- nance that might be effectively used by interruptions persons in building up a bill posting trust in Newtown- He believes the town has gone as far into the public utility business as he care to go.

MOTOR TRANsPORTATioN
 ... FOR SMALL TOWNS

N !
 Prdsperity for small rural scornTnun ties is largely a trans portation prob lem. Some years ago it was thought that trolley lines would connect. up a. large part of the country distant from railroads But building and operating costs for these lines have so increased that their construction has been sharp ly checked. fs saie@.t
 Tn many rural centers the cross roads iitney has become an estab- Iished institution. Frequently it is a combination of passehger bus and mo tor truck In front are a-s few seats with the country folks out on err lands or shopping or pleasure. Be hind is room for freight, and steady traffic of food supplies going out to. the railroads, and town. comforts com T The complaint is made in many places depending on these motor lines, they don't appreciate the advantage of a reg ular schdule. If it storms, they see too fewA fares or freight to pay for gasoline That it is not a good way o9build. up a transportation business.
 While the rural people are buying automobiles sfreely, the majority for the present depend on horses or public carriers A motor bus may be a sec ond hand affair and give it's passen- gers a good shaking up owes a rough road But if it runs regularly, it is a. more practical adjunct of country life than the best equipped car running when the driver fees like it.
 The cost of getting products to mar ket is a big item in farming. Before many years "the farmer with load E of bulky products to get to the rail- road station, will be. depending mostly on motor trucks oS his own, or hired. for, the job. For many of the less bulky products, regular motor lines would be the most economical depend ence. They will bring the 1arn closer to the consumer and the grocery store They must acquire the habit of reg ular running before the community can depend on their service. The ex- tremes of weather should not affect their work very badly, if they are giv- en hard roads to run on.
