PATRIOTIC DUTY
 TO SUPPORT GOOD
 ROADS MOVEMENT
Uonn. Good Roads Ass'n.) )

We believe it is a patriotic duty to support the Connecticut Good Roads Association. Its work during the past five years has produced trunkline highWays, that now relieve embargo through motor truck service. At the last Legislature we urged and obtain ed appropriations of six million ooI- lars for highways and bridges. we obtained a law requiring the State Highway Department to clear trunk line highways of snow. Few mem bers appreciated this statute when 1t was passed. The first heavy snow storm of the year proved it's value. Within thfrty-six hours after the storm the trunk-line road was clear from New Haven to the New York line, and all drifts between New Ha- ven and Hartford were broken. The other trunk-lne roads of the state were open shortly afterwards.
 Such constructive legislation makes the Association of inestimable value to the state. This statute was oppos- ed by men prominent in public life. They did not appreciate the vital ne- cessity of keeping our highways open. They did not realize that the railroads alone could not solve the freight trans portation problem. These same men, after seeing the plan worked once, admit that it is one of the best laws ever passed.
 Were it not for our trunk-line high ways, which the Good Roads Associa- ton fought for and procured. were it not for the snow removal statute, the people of Connecticut would now be suffering for many of the necessities Of life. Permanent roads, open 12 months in the year for motor trucks, are vital to the life, health and mfli- tary protection of the people of this state and it's industries.
 We now have highway depart ment free from politics, and compe- tent to do its work. It is vitally ini- portant that the work continue. In 1919 the appointment of a Highway Commissioner comes before the Legis- lature. Further appropriations will be necessary to continue the good roads work. and to maintain the highways we now have.

SKILLED AIRMEN CAN DODGE MOST
 DEADLY BARRAGE

Somewhere in France, Jan. 1.-QCor- resoondence of The Associated Press) The and-a1rcraft barrage Is today the most dreaded enemy weapon which the airman has to face in his flights over the lines. In the midst of a sea of bursting shells, the airpIane bobs up and down like a ship in a yio- lent storm The concussions which the shells make in bursting produce swift succession of air pockets and air bunSbs. and it is absolutely impossi- ble to keep a machine steady through them Meanwhile there is the strain of Knowing always that the next in l .7tsnt pne Of the thousands of flying shell spitIlters may reach a vital spot in either machine or pilot.
 1 Yet is not possible to avoid flying through a barrage at times. The lat est type of and-aircraft guns can place a barrage as high as 23,OO0 feet, and it is not practical to turn about and try to climb over the barrage. It takes a verU highly specialized scout machine to climb to 23.O00 feet, and the heavier machines cannot achieve [
 The 1onGer the airman hesitates to run the barrage. the longer he is ex- poseu to the fire. Anti-aircraft gun nery at the front has now reached a point where the range is calculated to a nicety. almost instantaneously by cesses of triangulation and, therefore, the flyer who hesitates is lost. The only thing he can do is 10 take his
 chance, just as a ship at sea takes a
 storm and accepts it's chances of
 weathering the gale.
 Next to the barrage, the most feared
 of the ground defenses is the cluster '
 This is a group of six anti-aircraft
 shells, sent up together and placed
 just ahead of the machine, with one
 shell aimed to burst the tip of the : fuselage, two on each side of it, two on each side just ahead, and one far
 ther and directly ahead.
 The side-slip is t-le favorite protec
 tion against these clusters The anti. aircraft gunners get their range nowa. days so accurately that the slightes
 move out of range is fairly certain to get the machine out of danger way-unless the gunners have antici pated this move, as they sometimes do [ by placing another cluster at the mos
 likely spot for an expected side-slip . The side-slip is produced by tipping

How much do
 you know of a
 the Flag :?
 Do you know what sort of flag flew from the Mayflower? Have you ever seen, or been told of, the flag of the New England confedera- ton? s What know you of the flag of the Bed ford Minute Men at the battle of Con- cord ?
 Or of the flag of the United Colonies of America of l776?
 We all know Old Glory of Today -.. but we should all know more of its evolu- ton. | =
 So the store offers opportunity this week for patriots to see and to learn of the flags of the Nation, even of the flags of the colonies, and the flags that preced- ed those flags of the colonies.
 Lieutenant Telfair M. Minton of the New York Naval Reserve has a wonder full collection of flag. It includes all those we've asked you about It includes doz- ems others -szz.z. Some of them are wonderful hand painted reproductions of original flags now jealously guarded in museums -lzs And we have arranged for their dis play for the remainder of this week
 Some of them greet you from win dow; all the rest invite you to an inspec- ton in roon1y quarters on the third floor. And Lieutenant Minton will tell us about the flags, will take them one by one. and give us their history
 'Tis an unusual opportunity to trace the development of our Stars and Stripes both through the flags of former days and through the story told so we'll each after noon by Lieutenant Minton.

WASHINGTON TOO
 COLD AND DRYTO
 GREET NEW YEAR

Washington, Jan. 1.-The cold wave combined with the new prohibition law to make Washington's first war New Year eve observance the .quietest of recent record.
 In sharp contrast to the crowds that Heretofore thronged Pennsylvania ave- rue and the hotels and cafes to greet the new year, 1918 was ushered in with only a semblance of the old eel ebration by few who braved the bit. ing weather without and the "dry', dining cable within.
 Official Washington spent today quietly. Public receptions, which for. merly had been an important part of the New Year day program, were abandoned because of the war

Side of College Officials
A Telegraph representative to-day
interviewed DR.. Morgan at Carlisle.
Dr. Morgan admitted that the JEFF
ferson boys had been sent home.
He gave them both an excellent
character and explained that they
had been called aside on the cam
pus and advised that, because of
the changed conditions at the COL
lege, their presence might cause dis
agreeable developments. especially
as the army camp requirements
called for segregation of races. He
said the boys were asked to go
home and talk the matter over with
their father. Their induction papers
were held, he said, three days, and
nothing further having been heard
from the dismissed students the pa
pers were cancelled.
DR.. Morgan assumed all respon-
sibility. Lieutenant Frank Furby
military commandant at the col
lege, had nothing to do with the in.
cident, he said.
Lieutenant Furby added: There
is no color line at Carlisle and won't
be while I'm here" So far as he i.
concerned, he said, the way is oper
for the Jefferson boys to reapply fol
admission.

Mrs. Burger, of Harrisburg, Makes
statement Based ON Experience

Il recommend Tanlac to all my

Mrs. Maggie Burger, the known
eX-president of the Harrisburg
Order of Owls, who lives at 1892

MY health had been very, very
poor for long tipe. My liver had
been poisoning my whole system for
a long time; I felt tired and run
down. I was afflicted with rheu-
matism, too.
II have been taking Tanlac now
for several weeks, and I can truth
fully say that 1 am fully restored
to health and happiness. 1 feel
strong and energetic; I sleep we'll

felt that they could not have been
Inundated more had they commit
ted some offense for which punish
iment might have been inflicted.
1t is interesting in this connection
to refer. to recent appreciation of
the colored soldier and the colored
man by Irwin S. Cobb, the famous
writer, who is himself a Kentuck-
ian. This article appeared in a re-
cent issue of the Saturday Evening
Post under the caption of Young
Black Joe" and is remarkable
analysis of the colored fighter, his
optimism, his bravery, his fidelity
and the splendid way in which he
has made good on the fighting front
overseas. Friends of the Jefferson
boys believe that with the fine page
which is being written in American
history through the valorous deeds
| of our own colored soldiers there
should be no injustice back of the
lines, especially in an institution in
the shadow of another great train
ing school where thousands of In
dian boys have been brought up
from the degradation of tribal con-
ditions to the finest plane of Amer
lean citizenship.
