Free Registration
 For Autos Used in
 Carrying U. s. Mails

The state of Connecticut will issue, free of charge, drivers licenses, and registration certificates, for motor ve- hicles owned by the government, and used in the transportation of the mails. Postmasters throughout the state have frequently requested the state motor vehicle department to is- sue a statement whether these motor vehicles are exempt, and whether the vehicles had to be registered. The statement issued yesterday by the de- partment concerning this matter Is:
 ''In the past, the department of mo- tor vehicles has received many in- quiries from postmasters. letter car riers and individuals, regarding the necessity for a registration of car used for the delivery of U. s. mail.
 Quite recently the motor vehicle department was unofficially notified that the post office department had issued & ruling relative to this mat ter and, since that time, the whole situation has been thoroughly gone over in correspondence between the two departments. The official deter imitation, covering this situation, is as follows:
 "A state cannot require the govern ment to procure a number tag for use on any motor truck owned by the government, but this rule does not apply to motor trucks rented by the government, either from postal en- ploye or from an individual not con nected with the postal service for use in mail transportation. as the owner of a truck for hire is required to fur i n;sh a tag for means of identification. The government has ruled further i that should a state desire to furnish a tag, free of expense. for use on ! trucks owned by the government, i postrnasters will be instructed to : place the license On the government owned truck.
 s'T'lae same principle applies to op- orators licenses, and the rule regard : ing these is similar in every detail.
 s'The motor vehicle department has ] now asked the post office department l to supply it with a list of these post i offices in Connecticut where the gov i ernment owns motor vehicles in use for mail purposes, and for a list ot the operators exempt from paying fol their operators licenses, and will is l sue registration certificates and oper i ators licenses free of charge to those
 em ployes certified to the departmen ent
 "It will be noted that, under tn
 ruling of the post office departmen
 in connection with the ruling of tn department of motor vehicles, it vii
 be necessary for every vehicle used il delivering mail in Connecticut t have g. registration, and for the oper ator to have @ license, the only opel \ question being as to whether the cer Hdcates and operators licenses ar

BOABDIL'S MOTHER.

Ringing words have come down the centuries to use from women whose one utterance has made them re- men1bered. Upon the occasion of the Fall of Granada, Spain, in 1512, when the Kingdom of the Moors was con- quered by Ferdinand and Isabella BcabdiI the Arab and last king of Granada was found crying like a baby on the hills overlooking the AL hambra.
 There still is to be seen the stone set up by the pious Arabs and called by that poetic people, ''The Last Sigh of the Moor" Up to Boabdil, as he sat weeping. strode his mother, eyes a fury of gIeam, her gesture the apotheosis of Rebuke. She pointed to Granda below: she indicated ths tears rolling down the cheeks of a monarch.
 "Boabdil,'' she shouted, you do we'll to weep like a woman for what you could no: defend like a mani"

POCROM GUILT DOES NOT LIE
 WITH POLAND
U. s. Investigators Declare 252 Jewish Killings Not Part of Prearranged
 Plan.

Details of excesses committed against the Jews in Poland, in which 252 members off the race were vic tirns of mob violence, are given in the report of the mission headed by Henry Morganthau which investiga- ted these outbreaks and which was made public here last night The mission, which was appointed by Sec retary Lansing on the request of 1g- mace Paderewski, then President of the Polish Council of Ministers, was composed of, in addition to MT. Nor ganthau, Brig. Gen. Jadwln ana Homer H. Johnson, it arrived in War saw on July 13, 1919, and remained in Poland for two months, during which time it travelled by automo- piles more than 2,600 miles, making a personal investigation in every town where anti-Jewish outbreaks had been reported.
 While admitting that in eight specific cases the Jews had been made the target of outrage, pillage and murder, the report of the mis- sion declares that it would be un- fair to place the blame for these ex- cesses on the Polish nation as whole.
 'Just as the Jews" the report says
 
 race for the action of a few of their undesirable co-religionists, so it would be correspondinly unfair to condemn the Polish nation as whole for the violence committed by. un- controlled troops or vcal mobs. These excesses were apparently not premediated, for if they had been part of preconceiveo plan, the unnn- Der of killed would have run into the thousands instead of amounting to about 28O. It is believed that these excesses were the result of widespread anti-semitic prejudice aggravated by the belief that the Jewish inhabitants were politically hostile to the Polish state"
 The most serious outbreaks were at Lemberg, Pinsk and Wilma It Lem berg, Nov 21, 1918, general rioting and disorder took place following the collapse of the Austrian Empire, and was aggravated by the presence of some 15,00O uniformed deserters in the city, and numerous criminals re- leased by the Ukrainians.
 During these disorders thirty-eight houses were burned, the synagogue was destroyed and sixty-four Jews were killed. Order was restored by the formation of officers patrols and the RO1lSn- government Slnce ildS Se1- fenced a large number of the rioters to various terms of Imprisonment. The report deals at length with the causes of the anti-Senitic feeling in Poland, which is declared to be to racial or religious. It is stated that large extent political, rather than Polish national feeling is irritated by what is regarded as the 'alien" char acter of the great mass of the Jewish population. This is constantly brought home to the Poles." the re- port continues.
 "By the fact that the majority of l the Jews affect a distinctive dress, 1 observe the Sabbath on Saturday, 1 conduct business on Sunday, have | separate dietary laws, wear long boards, and speak a language of their own. The basis of this language is a German dialect, and the fact that Germany was. and still is, looked l upon by the Poles as an enemy coun- l try, renders this vernacular especial ! ly unDopular"

A New Series of Talks on Teeth by Drs. Weidlich & Alvord Dentists, Citizens Bldg.
What Perfected
 ALUeOLar Teeth
 Mean tO He0Lth
Dentists, 5 Citizens Bldg.

In a recent introductory talk covering Bridgeport's progress in dentistry in the last 15 years, we announced our latest achievement, that of PER FECTED ALVEOLAR DEN TISTRY, with 8 promise of de- tailed information concerning it in our next talk of this new series.
 Never has a greater advance than afforded by this newly perfected work of Drs. Weid- lich & Alvord. Its importance lies mainly in it's relation to the health of the individual suffering from tooth disorders or dental breakdown in any phase.
 So closely has the medical profession allied disease with the condition of the mouth and teeth today that both physical .ly and mentally 'incapaciated persons are never treated for their infirmities without a thorough diagnosis and X-ray examination of their teeth and gums.
 Hidden tooth troubles may cause any physical defect in the human body and even in sanity. Thousands of cases everywhere prove this asser- ton. PERFECTED ALVEO- LAR DENTISTRY will elimin- ate forever the kinds of dental disease which break down mind and body; at the same time it will restore comeliness and naturalness to the teeth, the face, the smile!
 PERFECTED ALVEOLAR DENTISTRY will accomplish this because it is the only kind of dentistry that completely does away with dead teeth, nerve killing, abscessed roots. pivot crowns and stationary bridgework that even with the utmost care is bound to be- come unsanitary and a hot-bed for disease germs.
 Pus formations, hidden as they may be and causing no apparent pain or even showing outward signs may be carrying on an insidious attack upon the human system and distributing their vile poisons well capable of causing any bodily i'll or mental disturbance to which the human body is ever sub jected.
 Away with dead teeth on which the unsanitary and dis ease-breeding bridgework is attached! Out with the ab- scessed roots and tedious treat ments in a futile effort to pre- serve! Be done with ugly den tai plates! Get back to the natural - your own healthy gums, pink, beautiful and clean with PERFECTED ALVEOLAR TEETH which require no crowns or plate to hold them as firm as your own teeth and which restore naturally all missing teeth, give you a sweet breath and a sanitary month, and greatest of ala healthy mind and body!
 Our next talk will appear shortly-you will be interested in it-watch for it.

Westminster people appreciate mer-

publicly endorsed Doan's Kidney

testimony such as the sufferer from
kidney ills is looking for.
Jesse Stultz, Pennsylvania ave-,
Westminster, says: my kidneys acted
irregularly and the secretions were
unnatural. My back ached and
had pains in my side. Doan's Kidney
Pills helped me at once. I continu-
ed using them and was soon better"
OVER FIVE YEARS LATER, Mr..
Stultz said: ''Doan's Kidney Pills are
wonderful. I never have to take a
kidney remedy now because of the
excellent work of Doan's.'
