P. o. Savings Record
 For Month of March

With not quite 5000 less than Feb- amount deposited, but almost $20,O00 less in the amount gained, the Postal Savings report for March does not pass the unique record made by the preceding month but is interesting withal. In February, with the begin ming of the war scare, people who had money stored away brought it in- to the Postal Savings bank to be se- cured for them. Then the deposits were $13O,534 and the withdrawals, amounted ito $65,246. The gain was 1885 ,288. This was a greater gain than Boston showed in the same time. In March, although they continued to bring in sums of money, the amount withdrawn was nearly $2O,OO0 greater than in February and as a result the gain was much less in that month. The figures for February:

HE EUbLEIk TOWER C0MMAND DS VIEW
 OF TWO STATES
Talcott Mountain Lookout Station Admirable for
 Signal Purposes

| Hartford, April 6.-The Heublein l tower, on Talcott mountain, the offer of which, for the military purposes of the state or federal government 1 by Gilbert F. Heublein has been ac- cepted by Governor Holcomb, has special advantages from a military
 point of view, for use as a wireless
 and signal station. It is built on the highest point of the mountain, is 1S7 feet high, and about 1900 feet above sea level.
 Many rumors concerning the tow CT have been in circulation since the
 beginning of the war, principally one
 that wireless station had been es- | tablished there to communicate with
 German ships. MT. Heublein's of fer of the tower to the military forces
 has effectually discredited the rumors. View Extends Many Miles.
 The tower commands a view, de-
 scribed by Professor Benjamin Silli-
 man in his '"Tour from Hartford to
 Quebec" published in 1924, on plain
 of 1000 square miles, the Connecti- cut valley, stretching from Mounts Tom and Holyoke to the Haddam hills. On clear day Mount Toby
 can be seen above and beyond the others and Mount Monadnock in New Hampshire, \eighty-three miles away. ] The cities of Holyoke, Springfield, and Hartford are plainly visible. Mid
 dletown, New Britain and Meriden can be seen To the west, a narrower valley is in view, reaching from New
 Haven to Deerfield, Mass, a distance <,f ,,iy Tn, fbn vi nn

 mountain can be seen: and away to

 Third Tower on Mountain.
 MT. Heublein's is not the first tow
 CT to stand on Ta1cott mountain. There have been three towers, built in the same immediate vicinity. In Colon ial times there was Wadsworth's tow CT, so-called for Daniel Wadsworth of Hartford, who erected it in 1910, with a summer house and other build ings, about two miles north of the
 main road which passes over the mountain The place was called Monte Video The tower stood on the summit of the ridge within a few feet of the precipice. It was hexa- gona1 in shape, sixteen feet in diame- ter fifty-five feet in height, with a flight of some eighty steps in the inte- rior leading to an observation plat form. The original tower was de-
 stroyed by wind, and replaced by an-
 other in 1840, which later was de-
 stroyed by fire. In 1867 there was erected a short distance from the site
