DARIUS MILI4ERS WILL.

The name Of Darius Miller will go
down in New Britains history as one
that deserves extreme honor and re
spect. When writing his will, MIR.
Miller apparently appreciated the fact
that he WAS a trustee for a large part
of his wealth and that at his death
1t should be returned to the city Where
if was accumulated. Through his ben
cfactions, many institutions that were
in need Of funds will find their re-
ouirements at least partly filed. His
generosity was unbounded. His be-
quests are q. monument to his endur-
ing fame. Public and private philan-
thopic institutions benefit because he
lived in this community and his
largesse will bring happiness to many
Of his fellow ownsmen.
To contribute to the progress Of
mankind and the church, to help tho
sick and fatherless to bring cheer to
those who are down cast, is a mission
in life that can be compared to no
other. Mr.. Miller fulfilled this mis-
sion conscienciOuSly.

ANOTHEH WORLD CRISIS.

President Wilson's purpose in di-
recting that the Steamer George
WASHINGTON be sent to Brest and held
in readiness for Immediate departure
is known only to himself Whether 1t
was supposed to be in the nature of
a threat or merely for his own con-
venience in the discharge of unan-
nounced plans, it is expected to have
a wholesome effect on the heads of
other governments assent led at Paris.
1t will work no harm if they interpret
it as a warning by the President that
he will withdraw from the conference
unless differences of opinion are COM
posed.
Paris has no hesitancy about con-
STRUNG it as a move to force an early
settlement OF the peace problems. On
the other hand, individuals in the con-
1idence of the President insist that he
had no such object in mind but they
admit that he has reached a decision
satisfactory to himself and will ad-
here to it no matter what the Pre-
miers Of other lands may think.
Another crisis has been reached. Tt
would be folly to try to disguise the
fact. But hope springs eternal that
the differences will be ironed out and
a peace basis arrived at quickly.

slightly ahead Of US
Even Massachusetts cannot show
quite the contribution towards good
roads support that the autom obilists
or this state give. And in return, it
IS admitted, that they are getting tho
best roads and more of them, than
any other commonwealth.
1t is expected that there will be q
great increase in registered automo-
piles before the present fiscal year
ENDS. The number of pleasure cars
last year totaled up over 10000. No
one will be surprised to find rs, 900
this year, and possibly more.
The increase in motor trucks is
sure to he marked, although the gain
in this direction is not now expected
to be as large in proportion as the
pleasure cars. AIS for the jitneys,
some decline is thought likely.

Motor Vehicle Growth.

Those who had an idea that the use
of motor vehicles i'll Conn ccticut had
about reached its zenith are likely to
find themselves far out Of the way.
The report from the office Of the
commissioner of motor vehicles for
the six months ending March 81
shows that the receipts of that office
in the way of fees is S973,83S as COM
pared with s756,279 for the CORE
spending figure Of 1918.
One thing that must be admitted,
contributing to the gain which does
not reflect automobile expansion, is
the earlier taking out of licenses due
to the mild winter.
But at that it is clear that when the
fiscal year ends September so the re-
ceipts from all sources are likely to
go ahead of that Of a year ago, when
the total went over $1,200,000.
Few persons are aware that with
the exception of California Connecd-
cut users of the motor vehicle pay
more in proportion to the population
