 Mir. Monnetts statement that the stock dividend declared in June, 1920, and tfe quarterly dividend paid on common stock in September of this year was not paid out of the surplus earnings is also untrue In common with all other in- 1ustrial concerns the country over the Goodyear Tire and Rubber company has suffered by reason of the present busl- ness depression. The depression has caused loss to it as to these other con- Ccrns, by depreciation in the inventories and contracts taken and entered into at the beginning of the last fiscal year.
 I can say. however. that after charg- ing off this entire loss the company still has ample assets with which to pay it's indebtedness and 1t covers it's intire Issue of preferred stock, and still have many millions of dollars for the common stockholders It seems almost unthink. able that man with any business sense would have commended an action as un warranted as that of Mir Monnett al this time, when business the country ovel Is going through period of readjustmen and needs the cooperation not only O. creditors, but especially of stockhodreds

 Commissioner Bennett, who spoke q. the Tuesday morning session on LoaG Limitations for Primary and Secondary Highways, based his. talk on the. idea that there should be definitely knowl line, on the weight of trucks in orde
 to properly design highways to care fo them. He said he believed that the Ii cense charge for trucks should be pro portional to their size and the amour | of damage they do to rpads..

STATE DEATH RATE DECREASED
 sAyS py-prIC HEALTH C0ITNCr


 Reduction of the death rate of Con- necticut is shown in the second report of the public health council to Governor Marcus H. Holcomb. The report is from October 1. 1918, to June 30, 1920. There is now curtailment of the activities of the department, as when estimates were submitted it was not anticipated that average costs would increase 40 per cent
 The death rate for the state has been reduced from 148 in 1915 to 2.14 in 1919, while the rate for the registration area of the United Sta:es for 1919 is 12.9, as compared with 12.4 for Connecticut These rates indicate that approximate ly 1000 deaths were prevented in 1919 and that it is safer to live in Connec- ticut than in the average registration area state.
 Special effort has been made looking to the control of typhoid fever and the reduction in deaths from 151 to fifty-six indicates some success. Comparing the typhoid fever death rate> in Connecticut for 1919, which was 3.S, with that of the registration area which was 9.2, the re- suits are gratifying.
 Energetic child welfare and publi< health nursing work is also reflected iI | statistics. Out of every 1000 babies borT last year, but eighty-six died.

San Francisco, Oct.,-'I am unalter- ably opposed to Article X' This is the message Senator Harding has wired to the women of California who asked him if he had been quoted correctly in his position onias.the League of Nations. iFsi
 Immediately upon receipt of this information Mrs. Ray Lyman Wilbur president of the WomeE's League for the Peace Treaty and Mrs. William Palmer Lucas member of tne exec IL tive committee, sent another wire to Harding asking:
 Are we right in interpretating your answer to mean that you will support the present covenant of the League of Nations now accepted by more than forty nations if Article X is eliminated?'
 It will be remembered that the women of this organization, 20,000 strong signed . retition which was presented to the senate by Dr. Aure- lfa Reinhardt, president of Mills Col lege, asking for the ratification of the treaty

A few weeks ago invitations to d Black Cat" party at the church parl- ours were received by the members of the Presbyterian Church. From whence came these invitations and what constituted "Black Cat' party were the sole topics of conversation of number of the men, and while their curiousity was aroused they could not solve the mystery. (Some fellows later founo uut that their wives could really keep a secret) On Saturday night the Cat" was
