WEALTH IN BAMBOO GROVES
Their Cultivation in the Southern
States Is Expected Soon to Be
a Recognized Procedure.

One thinks more readily of an Amer
ican farm with a wood lot than of n
with a bamboo grove, but bamboo
groves may yet become common in the
southern states, if the idea Of I'm
struct the farmer" in the d~eSirability
Of planting them makes reasonable
progress. 1t viii be a new idea to the
farmer, and he will have to think 1t
over. Meantime the country has n
important bamboo grove fourishing in
the state of Georgia, where 1t stands
i'm the custody of the United States
department Of agriculture, to serve as
an object lesson. The young bamboo
shoots provide an early spring vege-
table, said to have a flavor much like
that Of sweet corn, and the stalks
have a wide range Of uses which
should make a bamboo grove proft-
able. 1t is worth the farmers conSid-
GRAFTON, for example, that millions OF
small canes are yearly imported from
japan. and fishing rods made out OF
them, for which the United States pays
annually about S5,000,000.

Hard 70 Account for Figures.

Statistics have recently been pub
lished in Germany which are so strik-
Ing that the Medical Records Geneva
(Switzerland) correspondent says
they "need confirmation" 1t Is stated
that for every 1000 boys born in the
later years Of the war, 1,0S6 girls have
been born. Before the war the ratio
was 1000 boys to 1924 girls. Moth
ing writes the correspondent, rs
known with certainty as TO the con-
ditions that determine sex in the hui
man species, but there is quite a large
amount Of evidence In support of the
generalization that during wars and
famines, when the conditions are gen.
orally adverse, especially with regard
to nutrition, the proportion of male
relative TO female births increases. IL
there is any foundation for this gen.
eralization. then we must conclude
either that the figures are wrong or
that Germany was mighty well nour-
ished during the war, or else that some
entirely aberrant influence was at
work"

Rat-KiIIers.

I. Cats rarely eat rats, but attack and
kill them ruthlessly. Dogs Of certain
breeds are the implacable enemies Of
rats. Other enemies are weasels, fer
rets. the larger owls and bull snakes.
In cities Eats and dogs are the best
protection. Traps are excellent, but
require to be handled with gloves rub
bed with fish oil, as the rats detect
Instantly any trace cf human smell
and leave the trap alone. Poison Is
effective. but II has one serious draw
back; the rats are likely to die In
their holes. =

FROM PINK BOIL WORMS

II the Federal Governments
threat to quarantine effected por-
tions Of the state unless drastic
steps are Immediately taken to stop
the pink Boil worm, West Texas will
in all probability be left in the un-
restricted zone II is the opinion Of
informed men that there will be no
need Of quarantine Of this portion of
the state as the Boil worm has never
made appearance.
However. II the Federal Govern
ment attempts quarantine Of all the
state we are advised that bankers,
farmers organizations and CONNER
cial organizations will fight with all
their force to keep the South plains
unrestricted. as this crop is one OF
the biggest factors from which the
whole country makes it's living.
Without cotton for a money crop,
many farmers Of the South plains
would have been in a bad shape fin
ancially. as Il is known that grains
raised here the past season brought
very little revenue.

OLD LEGAL sETTLERn LAW
 MAKES TROUBLE FOR WIDOWS

q RecauSe Of several cases of deSerV- ing widows being unable to secure state aid as, their husbands did not be- come a legal settler" of any town, in spite of the fact that the husband may have been legal voter, legislat- prs and others are already planning to introduce measures in the next ses- sion of the legislature which will do away with some old laws on the stat ute books, which are now obsolete.
 The legal settlefs' law has work
 ed hardship on several Connecticut widows, and it was said this week that state officials are not to enforce these laws any too strictly, because of their character and because of the hardships they work on innocent per sons. According to the laws which are now sought to be repealed a. man
 coming into this state from another
 state, must, if he stays in any one
 Connecticut town, appear before jus- tices or selectmen, and be declared a
 legal settler. In case he doesn't do
 this. his widow. when he diess is not eligible for state aid, and can't even
 be admitted to any state institution.
 The most noteworthy instance of a vii dow, entitled to aid but who couldn't
 receive it by law, was a New London ] case.
 Her husband came to Connecticut from another state, going to New London fifteen years ago. He quail fled as an elector, and voted for sev-
 eral years. However, he never ap- peared before ''any two justices of the peace and selectnen," to be declared a legal settler He died some months ago.. and the widow who has several children, applied for aid from the state department of institutions and
 agencies Because of her husband never being declared a legal settler, her application was turned down But 1 the state officials investigated the l matter, found the woman worthy of aid, and they declared she was en- titled to it. At the Capitol Wednes-
 day it was said that too strict an in terpretation of the old laws, and that
 just as soon as the legislature con
 venes the old avs will be, repealed.
 The law says that if a person comes to Connecticut from another state,
 moves to one town. and. later moves
 to another town, he becomes auto tmatically a legal settler if he stays in the second town for a period of four years. But the inconsistency of if he stays in the first town for any the law is shown when it reads that
 number of years, he cannot be a legal settler, unless he appears before the justices and the seleetmen.

COLLEGE GIRLS SCORE HIGH IN COMPREHENSIVE ExAMtNATIoNs

In connection with the new system of comprehensive examinations intro duoed this year by Mount Holyoke, Smith, Vassar and Wellesley. the re- suit of the mental tests given to the
 freshmen. by Dr. Samuel P Hayes, professor of psychology, is of interest. One hundred and fortv-two freshmen took the Alpha Army test The high est score was 1e1, the lowest, 91, and the median attainment of the class 150. One hundred and two students (72 per cent.) had scores between 1855 and PIP, the highest grade obtainable, and would be chased as very super for (s-ade Al in the army rating. This grade is ordinarily earned by on4s -4-5 per cent of draft quota. Thirty
 seven students obtained scores from 105 to 134. and would be classed as superior (grade B), according to the army rating This rating is obtained by 8 to 10 soldiers out Of every 100.
 Only two students q per cent.1 fell below 105 and obtained scores which
 would class them a high average z(Cx).

 Chains had been pvt on the rear wh9els before the trip was started but the chain on the left rear wheel was not properly fastened and when the car started to skid. the single chain helped rather than hindered the oper- atfon. The car turned around one and half times on the icy road and then gently fell over on it's side.s
 Flames started to show through the holes in the floor and the two oceu- pants extricated themselves and start ed to salvage cushions and tools A call was sent in for the fire departr. ment which was answered by Deputy Chief Connell in his car. Two tanks of chemical were used in extinguishing the flames. Austin with admirable presence of mind had shut off the gasoline feed sco that the fire would nave DAHHSu ltS6ll out III time.
 The damages from the upset were negligible, consisting of bent mud guards. The fire burned fiercely un- der the hood. however. and the engine was ruined.
 Nothing daunted by their hard luck Friday morning. new start will be made this Saturday. morning. The car will be run continuously for three or four days and will be exhibited at the New York automobile show. The start will be made from the Barrett Hudson company this morning, and the first days run will be ov3r the Mohawk trail, reaching Norwich again late in the afternoon.
