One of the important matters to be considered during the coming year by the court of comon council is tire lease of the Groton and New London ferry franchise, as the Chappell lease which has extended over a period of about fifteen years expires. This lease has been a bonanza especially since the great increase in the volume of automobile traffic, and naturally there will be strong effort on the part of the leases to secure a re- newal for another decade. The fact of the railroad bridge becoming a part Of the highway system of the state will not lessen the efforts on the rart of the Chappells to renew the lease. While the service has been better than ever, still it has been inadequate, especially during the summer season, and to properly accommodate the public two boats, instead of one, ought to have been in commission but in stead one has been held in res arve and, as usual may be pressed into service during the winter, perhaps for economical reasons.
 Former Mayor Benjamin L. Arm lease against the ChappeIIs put he lost;~ and it was hinted at the t1n1e that he was euchered out of t..e lease, whatever that may mean. When tnlS Terry lease nght was on Tn earn est, when final action was to be taken by the council, the present United States Senator Frank B. Brandegee, was the corporation counsel, and he was seated by the mayor at that ses- sion. It was the first council meeting where a corporation counsel was in such prominent place, or in fact ever attended council meeting, and t was also the last time. The council voted the lease to the Chappells. That very night, almost immediately after the council adjourned, the ferry commit tee, the leases and the corporation council. repaired to the Brandegee of flee, and then and there the lease was formally delivered, and was be- yond council recall. It was consid- cred a wise move by those who were opposed to MT. Armstrong, but there were others who could see no valid reason for the nasty way of closing the deal. It is not known at this time whether MT. Armstrong, or any other man, will bid for the lease against the Chappells. It would per- haps be just as we'll for the pub4f.. to grant a renewal of the lease to the present lessess. Worse might be done.

AeropIanes to Guide Ships.

Aeroplanes for sighting icebergs and icef1elds, to enable ship to steer clear of them, are being seriously consid- cred by a Norwegian steamship com- pany that has many difficulties from ice. The steamers of the line ply to Siberian ports by an Arctic ocean route, which is badly blocked by ice foes in some seasons.
 Under the present method, when foes are sighted by the lookout, the steamer has to cruise back and forth until it finds a way through or around the foes, and much time is thus lost.
 The proposal is to have an aero plane on each steamer and to have one of the crew trained to fly. When ice is sighted the aeroplane would go up and the airman could in many in- stances see that in certain direction the water was clear, or perhaps even determine the entire extent of the foes. His report would then enable the captain to fix the shortest route round the obstruction.
 Methods of launching an aeroplane from the deck of vessel are still im- perfect, and other obvious difficulties appear; but the company has the idea in mind and hopes it may find 1t feas- ible.

Drinking Of Water
tBY V. M. PIERCE, M. D.

The general conclusions of the latest Medical Scientists proves that drink ing plenty of pure water both between meals and with ones meals Is bene- ficial to health. It has now been prov en by means of the X-rays and actual tests upon many healthy young men that the drinking of large amounts of water aotth meals is often beneficial. Therefore if you want to keep healthy drink plenty of pure water (not ice water), both with your meals and be- tween meals. If you ever suffer from backache, lumbago, rheumatism, or any of the symptoms of kidney trouble such as deep colored urine, sediment in urine, getting out of bed at night ire quently and other troublesome effects, take little Anuric before meals. These Anuric Tablets can be obtained at almost any drug store.

Rough on the Boys.

Little Dorothy, an only child, un- awares to her parents. had heard the story of Herod and his slaughter of the flrstborn. The child displayed ter TOT which seemed unreasonable to her parents. They questioned her and found that she was living in daily fear of Herod's mandate. Her mother ar gued the question with her, to no pur- pose. She could not believe the de- stroyer was dead. Finally, as a last resort, her mother assured her that she was safe anyway-that only boys were affected by the decree. The method was effectual. Joy reigned in the little girls heart. T am glad he gets the boys," she said.

GYPSIES WHO LIVE ON ATER
Fifty Thousand Nomads, 1t Has Been Estimated, "Run the Banks"
 of the Mississippi.

The lower Mississippi river Is one of the greatest houseboat play regions of the United States. Beginning in the early autumn. people who dread the cold and who seek long winter rest leave Ohio and upper Mississippi river towns and seek the thousand miles of flowing road from Cape Girardeau to the Gulf of Mexico. This fall migra- ton of humanity-this wandering of river gypsies is one of the strangcst in the country.
 It is said there are more than fifty thousand people living on the hundred thousand miles of navigable streams in the Mississippi basin These are the shanty boaters, who dwell in vari- ous ways on the rivers and rubbing the banks" Besides these river people there are large numbers of sportsmen and temporary residents atloat in mo- tor boats and houseboats, making population of perhaps one hundred thousand, not including the steam boaters," who scorn the shanty boat CTS.
 Between the two classes of river people is a feud that dates from the old keelboat days, when steam power deprived the huge rowboats of their passenger and freight traffic.
 The shanty boaters are strange float ing nomads. They have many kinds of boats, which they call "cabin boats," and which range all the way from a "hogpen on raft" to luxurious gaso- line-driven houseboats of large size and beautifully equipped. An iceman, whose factory is in a lower Ohio town, slips away at the end of his season and cruises in the low Mississippi dur ing the winter months, accompanied by hunting dogs, deckhand, and a motor engineer. He is real shanty boater, because he knows all the old timers and dwells in amity with them, though he drives S10,00O houseboat and some of his good friends live in drfftwood scows covered with tent of old canvas patched with tar paper.
