MUST WIDEN APPROACH
 TO THAMES BRIDGE

People who are familiar with Gro- ton borough and know what a con gestion of traf1ic there is near the ferry have wondered how it will be possible to keep things moving when in addition to the present rush. trolley cars are running to and from the Thames river highway bridge. Of course the opening of the bridge will cause a diversion of auto trafIfc. but the machines will have to use Thames street going esat and in approaching the bridge and that is q very narrow thoroughfare.
 The state highway department and the Groton town officials have given thy matter considerable thought and many changes are planned. A cement roadway 1S feet wide is to be laid from Ferry street to the highway bridge and it is intended to have hve-foot sidewalk on the east side of the thor oughfare. To provide room it will be necessary to slice off veranda or two, to remove drinking fountain anS make other changes, practically all on t.1 east side of the street.

cAuLpRoN OF RACIAL srRtFE

The eastern shore line of Adrlatif sea which continues southward as tho eastern shore of the Ionlan sea-, tho exit of the Adriatie. has been a seeth- ing cauldron of racial strife from the time of the Persian and Roman ern pires to the peace conference of 1919," says a bulletin of the National Geo. graphic society.
 The bulletin calls attention to the fact that the subsistence of the con troversy between Italy and tho new Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats and Slo- venes over Plume seems merely to transfer the center of interest southh ward to the historic Epirus. now c part of Albania, which Greece wishes restored to her domain.
 Tive centuries before Christ EpirTs was set off like little island. &part from Alexander's vast domains. with Macedonia and HeIlas and the Ionia e sea as it's boundaries" the bulletiA continues. The name. meaning main-. land.' was given it to distinguish 10 from the Grecian islands which fringe its coast line.
 Corinthians. Athenians and Spar tans looked upon the Epirotes as bar barians, though Aristotle believed Epirus the original home of the Hell ancient area is comprised in AIbania, among the youngest and least knewn of all the states of Europe.
 'Pyrrhus waged q war with RorF politics for a briet period. A certus and a half after his death the Romans annihilated the forces of Perseus at Pydna and the punishment meted out to Epirus for its part in the war was the destruction of 70 of her principal cities and enslavement of 15o,o00 of her citizens. The kingdom never re- covered from that blow. -,
 "Epirus is extremely mountainous. From ancient times to the present day its cattle and horses have been noted and it was famous for peculiar bfeed of dog. the Molossian."
