STATE TAKES
STEP BACKWARD
Saws Reform Association of
"Torpedoing" Civil Service
AT NEW HAVEN C.S.R. DINNER
Action of Legislature Gets Special and
Pointed Attention by Speakers
Two MiddletoWn Banks
Plan Merger.

New Haven-That the state took
a backward step when the last legs
latIlre .torpedoed" the civil sery %
law was one of tx" main themes a
the annual dinner of the Connecticut
Civil Service Reform association, held
al the Hotel Taft. The dinner was
preceded by the annual business mes t
ing. at which Prof. Henry W. tarnam
presided, and read the report OF the
exhaustive document.
Prof. Farnam said that the sig
nificant fact that could not be too
strongly emphasized, was that the OBJ
jections to the original law had come,
not from those who had found by ex-
perience that it had worked badly,
but from those who feared that it
would hamper their actions. On the
other hand, those heads of depart
ments who had been able to test the
practical working of the law OF 1918
were the very ones who had not
asked to be exempted He referred
particularly to the insurance commits
sioner, the highway commissioner and
the tax commissioner. The reappoint-
ment of these gentlemen by the gov
ernor was, Prof. Farnam said, itself
an application of the merit system.
The whole range of civil service
reform utility was gone over by the
several speakers at the banquet.
Colonel Norris G. Osborn, editor
of the JournalCourier, was toast
master, and the speakers were the
Hon. John C. Brinsmade, Mayor
Quigley of New Britain, Judge John
K Beach, DR.. Henry Moscowitz,
president of the civil service COM
mission of New York City, and the
Hon. Robert Catherwooa of Chicago.

DA|RYMEN ARE
NOW REQUIRED
COOL PRODUCT

Americus dairies, following the re-
cent inspection, wherein conditions
were found favorable and sanitary, are
now required to thoroughly cool their
milk supply before delivering it to
consumers. Milk must be put on ice,
Or otherwise thoroughly cooled, be-
fore it leaves the dairy and if consum
ers will exercise the same care it
would be greatly to their benefit. Of
times it is the case that jars Of milk
left by dairy wagons upon verandas
are left standing for hours in the sun
before cared for by the customer. It
should be placed in the refrigerator
Immediately upon delivery. Americus
people are afforded every safeguard
by the city authorities, but co-opera-
tion of milk consumers is necessary.

STARTLING ANNOUNCEMENTS
MADE CONCERNING LETTERS
(By Associated Press)

BERLIN, Aug. 20.-Although one
of the trump cards of the advocates
of the Roman script and print cs
against the German script and Ger
man Gothic black letter has always
been the greater legibility CT the first
named, German scientist, after a long
series of experiments, now announces
that the Gothic letter is less firing to
the eye than the Roman.
According to his experiments, an or
binary line of so-called German let
ters required on the average S.17
movements of the eye, against 10.11 for
Roman letters. The reason is tn 1T
"the sharper characteristics" of the
former make it possible for a single
glance to comprehend more. 1t is
true that it requires 1876 per cent less
time to read a Roman line, but the
Gothic line regularly contains at least
ten per cent. more than the former.
The eye, however, making less move
ments for the Gothic, has more rest,
and its glance also moves more
smoothly, whereas in reading Latin
characters, "it moves trippingly
along"
