is a poor one, since nature has a and a backward spring is easily off, set by a few warm days later on. The presidential campaign is a fac tor that must be taken into con- sideration. Thus far it has been completely overshadowed by the vastly more important crisis with Germany. The time, however, is approaching for the national conventions and political agita- ton of more or less intensity must be anticipated. The present congress, however, shows little dis position to enact any further legisla- tion than what is most emphatically demanded by public opinion. The labor situation is still a source of considerable concern; especially the unreasonable demands of the rail- road trainmen; who are only One- fifth of the railroad employees; whose wages have increased nearly 40 per cent in the last ten years, and whose demands will place an added burden of about $1OO, ,OOO,O 900 yearly upon the transportation lines. The coal strike has been averted, and it is hoped that some means of adjustment will be found for the railroad dispute.
 The Future.
 As to the future, we can only ad wise continued caution in making all new commitments; notwithstanding the many encouraging factors in our home situation. The German prob lem, the Mexican problem and the presidential campaign are all critical elements of doubt, and serious buSi- ness deterrents. Favorable develop rnents might start a fresh upward movement in the security markets, and unfavorable developments would certainly initiate fresh liquidation; in fact it would seem that they are already being discounted. Peace, of cC urse, is coming eventually; but neither side is yet ready for the con- e ssions that will be necessary, and the end seems to be dreary months away. Moreover, the uncertainties Of a long truce will have to be endured before terms can be definitely reached cut of the unprecedented internation- al chaos which this war has created. Cur relations with Germany and Mexico transcend all other factors. The submarine crisis seems to be- come more and more acute ana grave. No one can foresee the outcome, and a rupture would almost seem 1mm1- nent The nation must exercise pa tience, firmness and realism in de- manding it's rights; not embarrassing the president by shallow, criticisms for political effect, but plaintly re- vealing the sentiment of the country and supporting him as unit ir de- fenSiVe measures.

 It is understood that the develop ment will be along the same broad lines as has characterized the Bod- well Land companys work in the fine "Belvidere section,' where it has been largely instrumental in build ing up that end of the city.
 The Bodwell Land company has just purchased a large tract of land in New Haven, on Townsend Avenue, and will open up an office in that city transferring their good will and en- vious reputation to the Equitable Realty company, which is one of the finest assets the new company could have.
 The office of the Equitable is in Room 404 National Bank building, where extensive alterations and inn provements have just been completed, W hich make their fine suite of of flee very attractive and offer much better facilities for handling the in- crcasing business.

BIG READ ESTATE DEAL.
Equitable Realty Company Will De-
 ycIOp Hunter Terrace"

The Equitable Realty company has purchased the valuable Hunter farm, consisting of about thirty acres of land, and situated at the corner of Jerome avenue and Clinton street in the western section of the city, for development purposes.
 This very attractive piece of real estate has long been desired by de- velopment companies, as 1t has a frontage of about 2,000 feet on Jerome avenue and Hunter road, where the high pressure water main runs besides fronting on both sides of Clinton street quite a distance
 The leval formation of this land, added to it's fertile soil, easily makes it an attractive proposition for cottage homes.
 The Equitable Reality company, it will be remem bered, was the $50, ,000 profit sharing subsidiary of the Bod well Land company, which was in corporated about the middle of December and the preferred shares are owned in New Britain. The sub- scription list was closed January 31 with 265 shares over subscribed be- 1ond the allotment available. The work of organization has gone for ward very rapidly, and the opening Hunter Terrace, will be announced very shortly.
 The development of this property will be particularly interesting to New Britain people, as such large

LIGHT FOR OPERATING ROOM
Eminent British Surgeon Believes
Green to Be Better Color Than
White, at Present Used.

The immaculate white" of an oper-
ating room and everything in it has
long been a byword, but it is more
than likely that this will soon change
to a "verdant green" or some other
shade of natures favorite color. Brit
ish physicians, who have lately had
an amplitude of practice in operating
rooms, are finding that white is too
wearisome to the eye and causes ia
tigue. 1t also detracts from the value
of light on and within the wound.
Light is now being focused on the
wound, not around it, with much bet
ter results.
One eminent surgeon of Leeds has
fitted up an operating room entirely
of green and it is likely his example
will soon be followed by many others
Green is a restful color, offers NO
sharp contract to- the colors Of the
wound surfaces, and allows ligatures
and sutures to be clearly seen against
it. After painting the walls, ceiling
and floor of his operating room green
the physician was so pleased with the
results obtained that he has now in
stalled for exclusive use green towels
and sheets

Answered Call of World,

Emile Verhaeren, the Belgian poet,
might have been a priest, but decided
that his wild nature could not be
clamped within cloister walls. AS a
youth he attended the Jesuit college of
Sainte-Barbe at Client. There he met
Maeterlinck. The fathers would have
saved their young pupils from the
world by making them priests, and
endeayored to inspire in them a pro-
found respect for the past, with a
hatred Of all innovation. After the
school at Sainte Barbe, Verhaeren
studied law at Louvain. Admitted to
the bar at Brussels, he Joined coterie
Of young artists, and, like Gautier, he
won a name for shocking the bour-
geois by fantastic freaks of dress and
conduct. The muse called, and the
law was deserted.

Has Odd Hobby.

An old man who perhaps hasn't re-
ceived letter in years had an odd
hobby. Every time he sees in the
newspaper the list of advertised mail
sent out from time to time by the
general post Office in New York, he
turns at once to the initial letter I'M
der which his name comes and runs
carefully through the list. He never
yet has found any letter that might
be supposed to be for him, and fur
thermore hasn't found any that might
be for any of his relatives. He takes
an odd pleasure in doing it, however,
something with the eagerness which
impels a man to grub through a pack
ct of old letters in hopes that he may
come upon some rare variety of stamp.
Really, Il ever he found his name in
the lisr II probably would kill his en-
ioynen: 81 the hunt forever there
after.

MANY ERRORS IN SPELLING
photographic Oddities Brought to
Light by DR.. Leonard p. Ayres-
Few Excellent Spoilers.

Seven out Of every 100 third-grade
public school children In the United
States cannot spell the word has"
according to q report just compiled
by Dr. Leonard P. Ayres of the Rus
sell Sage foundation on the special
problems inherent In the teaching Of
spelling Doctor Ayres' study also
brought out many other photographic
oddities.
Doctor Ayres selected the 1000
words that constitute 80 per cent of
the language ordinarily used. This
selection was made from various Eng
lish authors, from four Sunday news
papers, and from the business and
family correspondence OF more than
1000 adults
Cooperating with the school super
intendents in 81 cities Of the United
States, Doctor Ayres had the 1000
commonest words tested by an aggre-
gate Of 100000 spellings, secured
from 10000 public school children.
Nine words of most frequent use,
viz, the, In, so, now, man,
ten bed" top" revealed that sec
ond-grade pupils, on an average.
spelled correct y "a per cent of these
words. At the other extreme of the
scale Of words Judgment" recon
mend" and "allege" were found to be
spelled correctly by just 80 per cent Of
eighth-grade pupils.
Doctor Ayres finds: There are
very few exceedingly poor spoilers,
many medium ones. and very few ex-
cellent ones. Few words do most of
our work when we write. Fifty words
constitute, with their repetitions, one
half Of the words written. The child
who masters the 1000 words on the
scale given Will make no spelling er-
rors In nine-tenths Of his writing

Tremendous Waste of Enerov

With reference to the immense loss
in wealth occasioned by the war,
Theodore H. Price in Worlds Work
says
There Is hardly man who works
up to the limit of his capacity. There
are millions who try to do as little
work as possible. The waste even in
the most scientifically conducted in
dustries Is enormous, and there is an
immense amount of energy generated
that is not utilized at all.
ct has been jokingly said that the
collective energy of the baby's cry
would run the railroads of New York
state IL 1t could be conserved, and
when we consider that only Is per
cent Of the energy of coal is utilized,
that the Embarrassed water power Of
the United States represents millions
of horse power going to waste, and
that probably less than per cent of
the available human energy in the
world ia productivity employed, we
must admit that a very slight in
crease in industry or efficiency will
recover an enormous loss of wealth"

In obtaining this result was the fact

Worst Habit of Boys.

One Of the very worst habits In
boyhood is the cigarette habit. This
has long been recognized by all the
judges OF the courts who deal with
young criminals, and especially by
Judges of police courts, before whom
pass thousands of men every year who
are addicted to Incorporate habits.
These judges know that in nearly ev

PIGS WILL REPAY ATTENTION
Little Georgia Miss Gives Striking
Demonstration of What Careful
Feeding VIII Accomplish.

prepared by the United States Depart.
ment of Agriculture.)
A Georgia girl has recently given a
striking demonstration of what lit
tie care will accomplish in the rails
ing of pigs. A SOW in her neighbor-
hood had eight nigs and could only
nourish seven Of them at one time.
The eighth pig was therefore given to
the little girl, who raised 1t by hand.
She Joined her country pig club as a
Ham and Bacon member, and kept a
close record, as the club regulations
provide, of the feed given her pig. and
OF It's weight. The pig was not a
purebred. At nine months old the
pig was killed. 1t weighed 225 pounds
net when dressed as meat, and also
yielded a 50-pound can of lard. The
