Winter Dust.
Bridgeport Telegraph

Winter dust is one of the worst nuisances which the city faces dur ing the cold season. When the ther- mometer is flirting with the zero line, and frigid breezes are blowing through trees, whirlwinds of dust sometimes sweep through business section of city like miniature siroc- cos The dry keen air absorbs the moisture from the streets and dust and refuse are quickly picked up by the wind and flung into the eyes nose and mouth, and percolated into the clothing of the unfortunate pedes- trian.
 In summer our paved streets in the business section are sprinkled in the daytime and cleaned and washed with squeegee machines at night. The dust nuisance is thus practically all layed. But in winter, the use of water ordinarily is prohibited. It would freeze almost as soon as 1t struck the street and thus make the center of the city one vast skating rink.
 There is a solution to this problem however, and it is interesting and simple. Boston has discovered that by the use of calcium chloride it can 0pA us SNiVSbS lS l1lS w lHItL with entire success. Calcium chloride Is very inexpensive chemical salt having a strong affinity for water. The state of Connecticut uses it in large quantities as a dust preventive nd road binder. In addition to these qualities, it has the faculty of greatly lowering the freezing point of water. By the expedient of dissolving suf- hcient calcium chloride in each filling of watering cart, streets may be sprinkled in the winter time and the old time dust bugaboo allayed.
 The need for such sprinkling would be only very occasional of course. A good part of the winter season brings rain and sleet, and there is certainly no need of sprinkling then. Snow on the ground is of course a dust pre- ventive and there is no trouble from dust when the wind is low. But or keen, dry winters day with hieh wind, the dust nuisance Is intolerahe. indeed, it Is quite probable that he filth which is blown in the form of dust into peoples mouths and Dses on such occasions Is far more respon- sible for the winters epidemic of colds and sore throats, than the dampness and cold which are genGal ly blamed for such troubles

The Great American F1irt.
Waterbury Democrat.)

Mrs. Alec Tweedle, an English writer, in a recent book on "Women the World Over," pays special tribute to American women. It isn't the usual one, at all. In comparing them with the women of other lands she is struck less by their vaunted beauty or intellect than by their su- rreme genius for the world-old game of flirting In this realm, we are told
 the American girl has only one com petitor. "Of all coquettes on this globe, of many races and divers colors, the greatest f1irts are the American and Spanish" The two types, however, are characterized by very different methods. The Span ish girl is a silken, sinuous flirt, with beautiful little hands and feet and lazy ways. The American is an effer- vcscent one She bubbles all over with life and enthusiasm, is virile to her finger tips, jollies' men until

Sons of Presidents.
Bridgeport Farmer.)

Few sons of American presidents have made very high mark in the world, and not since the days of John Quincy Adams has the son of a chief executive of the republic occupied the White House. Benjamin Harrison in herited his ability as statesman from his grandfather, President Will liam Henry Harrison. But if the sons of latter day presidents have not been highly distinguished, most of them have been useful and honor able citizens. Today is the fifty second birthday of Harry Augustus Garfield son of President James Abram Garfield, who since 1908 has served as president of Williams Col lege at Williamstown, Mass. He was borne at Hiram, O., where his famous father was for time president of Hiram College, before he studied Jaw and entered the political arena. When Harry Garfield was born his father had just been elected to Congress, after service in the Union army in which he had won the rank of major general of volunteers. Like his father and his brothers. Harry Garfield was educated at Williams College, en- tering the institution of which he was to become the head shortly after the assassination of his father In 1888 he married Belle Hartford Mason, of Cleveland and established himself as lawyer in the Ohio metropolis, in partnership with his brother, James Rudolph Garfield, afterward Secretary of the Interior of the cabinet of Presi- dent Roosevelt. He abandoned the law in 1903 to become professor of politics at Princeton University, and five years later was appointed presi- dent of Williams College. At Prince ton Dr. Garfield was a member of the faculty headed by President Wilson, and at Williams College he had as his assistant Francis B. Sayre. son-in-law of the President. Of other sons of latter-day presidents who have won wide fame, perhaps the most dis tinguished were Frederick D. Grant who reached the rank of major-gen- eral in the United States army. and Robert T. Lincoln, who served as Sec retarN of War in the cabinets of Gar field <and Arthur, and was afterward United States minister to Great Brit ainIa and president of the Pullman Go.

Preventable Injuries of the Eye.
Medical Journal.)

Much has been done in recent years to protect the eyes of workmen from injuries. and the number of eyes thus saved has been considerable. Even with all these precautions, however, accidents are bound to happen, but if the sight of an eye is occasionally lost through some unavoidable accident, we can feel that everything possible has been done to prevent it. How diff ferent are our feelings when we see an eye destroyed through some acci- dent that could easily have been avoided. Many a mother has wept bitter tears of anguish knowing that she alone was to blame for the loss of sight in her babys eye, through her carelessness. If she had not allowed the child to get within reach of scis- sors, pins, knives, etc, or perhaps if the child had not been allowed to run across the room with the doll in her arms, she would not have fallen her own eyes cut by the broken bits of glass. Many of these preventable accidents can be avoided by using a little care and ordinary common sense Not alone in the care of infants, but WllIl otuuiLS engaged III household employments as well lit tie extra precaution will often prevent serious results from apparently triv- ial accidents. For example, eyes have been irreparably damaged by flying bits of glass from a broken tumbler; by tack flying into the eye, in lay ing a carpet; from small bit of lime falling from a broken ceiling; from stoping in a dark room and striking the eye on the sharp corner of a table or chair. In fact, the possibili- ties of accidents of this sort are in numerable, where a little less haste perhaps, or little extra care would prevent them.

Kipling's Son.
(Holyoke Transcript )

NT1oiyOke ITanSCrlpL.D
 People all over the world, w1o have read the later work of Rudyad Kip ling and seen how the heart of a father has been shown in them, will read with regret that among he mis- sing, somewhere in Francs'' after the big drive of last week. is his only son John Kipling. The Connecticut Valley has always felt an added per sonel interest in Kipling sine he mar ried Brattleboro girl and Or a time lived in that beautiful town to the north of us.
 After Rudyard Kiplirg married, and more especially aftr his illness with pneumonia his art took a differ ent turn. There was deeper spir- duality, even a touct of mysticism. Philosophy took the place of fire and force. Ir this great call upon his England in which he glories, Kipling has bsen a pleader that every man shorId do his full duty for England. More lately ne has been in France w.iting home very fascinating yet un- wsrlike letters describing the trench lifs there Now somewhere in France lies his beloved son, the lad for whom he wove so many a tale that all the other boys in the world might read. What the Kiplings are suffering is the same sorrow that has fallen upon millions of homes all through Europe. Because the world knaws how much his home and children mean to Rud- yard Tipling it comes sharply home that nany another boy of eighteen the victim of a war made by old men has Eiven his full measure for his country, just as John Kipling gave his

How Battleship Strength is Measured
 fWorld's Work

The question of numerical super iority Is of extremely great import ance in naval fights-much greater than in land battles. Ashore weak CT force, by entrenching and using ob- stacles, etc, can stand off a much stronger one; for example, the Ger man army in France has probably been outnumbered more than. two to one during the recent extraordinary operations in Poland, yet the Allied troops have been unable to make any headway against the strongly en- trenched line. But on the water the terrain offers no protectioni and in consequence it is mathemati- cally demonstrable that, assuming equality of units, the strength" of two opposing fleets varies as the "square" of the numbers of ships. The great value of initial numerical su.
 periority is evident; if England's 45 ,Areadnaughts can bring to action Ger. nanys'~ -26, the preponderance of trength ok the larger fleet (assum- ng equal unN ts) will be in the ratio

The Errors of 1913.
Bridgeport Standard. )

The Journal of Commerce, com ment1ng upon the proposition to maintain the sugar duty as one means of preventing a deficiency of revenue says: Sugar is of such universal use and such a large part of it's use is in the nature of luxury that there is no perceptible addition to the cost to the average consumer from a duty sufficient to yield $5O,O00,O00 a year to the government. The presidents mind is said to be open to a suspen- sion of the provision for the removal of the duty on the first of March next The suspension may be agreed to, but it would be better to undo the error of 1913 altogether" It is indeed true thot it would be best to repeal that portion of the act rath- CT than to hold it continually and in definitely over the country as a threat of future imposition.
 Many other "errors of 1913" are to be provided against now that the op- eration of the new tariff law threatens to impose upon the country conditions prejudicial to indstry and contrary to the best interests of the country at large Since the imposition of the tariff of 1918 conditions, under the, pressure of circumstances entirely un ] foreseen at that time, have vastEc changed and in such way as to ret2- der the provisions Of that tariff Idctt more and more inapplicaole ana lin
 judicious. It is proposed to ne te on this situation in some way. Wth- out changing the law, but the ue way would be to repeal or amend ne law to conform to the changed c'h- ditions.
