AUTO sTEALrSd

With the arrest and binding over of t~o Bridgeport men who are charged wsih receiving and shipping to Europe ssalsn automobiles it is not improbable thG there will be revealed traffic in sssisn CAFE that will lead ap to the pronscusion of gang of auto thieves and the securing of facts that will make it possible to offer much more effecsive opposition to such a practice.
 what these men did according to the nllpmtion is what it has been main talhod for a long time was being done with stolen cars, except that after charging and repainting them they were ssst out of the country
 The demand for second hand cars has become SO great that t has been freely claimed that eafs could be stolen to or- der on reasonable notice and few of theA would be recovered.

POWER AND PRAYER-ACTs: IS, IA
 Power can never be separated from prayer. If we would be filled with the fulness of God, let us pray, but let us also remember that it is the life that pfays. '
 ''The effectua1. fervent prayer of a righteous men aNaileth much" The worldly Christian the indifferent flower of Christ, the one in touch with the world need expect no special answer from God. The Psalms say, ''that If we delight in Him. He will bring it to pass" No in. consistent flower of Christ ever delights in Him.
 These disciples in the upper room were separate from the world. Unless wt have cultivated the habit of shuttinf oufselves away from the world and ir with Him we have failed in the best ap Ipreciation of prayer. These men at thi.
 time were not in any way remarkable but that did not at all enter into tn, 1 question They simply put thernselve 1 in the place where they might feel Hi power, and when they prayed, the answe ! came.
 i The secret of their successful prayinj is found in the expression, with on i accord" They were in accord wit each other, for they had one conrfn6 desire but that is not the deepest lessor they were in accord with Him and II could safely entrust His powers to then :, I once asked successful merchant How long would you keep an employ . and allow him to use your name if h l was only half given up to you and hal to your competiter?'

 to lkeep better tabs upon auto thieves

HrGHKn TROLLEY FARES.

That the Connecticut company was to ask the state utilities commission for tho authority to increase it's rate of fares was well understood so that the application causes no surprise. It has maintained that it was not able to make expenses in some instances and that it vas not possible under prevailing rates to make the business throughout the state show a fair return. In insisting upon the need of increased income this company is doing no moro than com panies in other states serving large and small communities They have found thas 1t is impossible to get proper re- turn from their efforts and there are feg communities where the increase in trolley fares has shown an increase corresponding to the increased costs of operation. There have been one and i've cent increases in fares and there nag been tried out the zone system, but h spite of such efforts it has not been rossiDle to get reasonable profit.
 Whether the increase to a ten cent faYa which .s now being asked is justi- hee is a matter which should be deter uilnad in accord with the facts. It is to be expected that the application will be backed up with facts from the stand poiRt Of the company. The utilities com mission will unQuestonably be interest cd In not only hearing what the differ ent community views may be regarding the increase but in doing some figuring for itself from what it knows of the conditions and the business.
 There can be no disposition to be other than fair to the company. The question of what is fair must be deter mincd by the commission after becom- ini acquainted with the facts. and it Is Co he expected that the benefit of ans change in the costs of operation wift he permitted to the public at the eafliest possible moment. We are fully aware of the fact that we cannot get a1dec without trolley service and when it q shown that charges for it are jus tined there can be nc disposition to op- poss them. even though they may be no more popular than any other In. craNses in expen6stsres.

October is particularly good month
 for the study of the starry skies, both
 for the beginner and the more. experi-
 enced, writes Dr. e. s.. Brafhin of the
 Columbia University observatory staff.
 The evenings, as a rule, are comforta-
 ble. and the light haze which often is found on summer evenings does not dim the bright glory of the stars. . It surely Is a royal assemblage that greets US from the depths of the eye- ming sky. Many of our summer friends are still with us; Vega. Altair, Capel- la, the consultations Andromeda, Cas- siopela and Pegasus all shine forth with perhaps an increased beauty.
 For the first time in many months there are no planets at all with the exception of Uranus, which is not to be observed without very large telescope. Venus and Mars also are evening stars this month, but set before g o'clock, and: they may be observed in the western sky just after sunset. Jupiter and Sa- turn, on the other hand, are morning stars, observable before sunrise only, Mercury will be observable as an eve. ming star for a week or ten days pre- ceding and following Oct 24 It must
 be looked for just after sunset right over the spot where the sun has already set, and can be seen only on particular " IaVoraoie nights, when the horizon IS not beset with sunset clouds
 Northeast of Antlromeda is the con- stellation of Perseus, containing Algol' !, the famous variable star, whose bright
 ness changes so greatly at regular in tervals that it loses more than two thirds of its light and. drops from the second down to the third magnitude. AL goI as is well known, is really a double
 star; one component of which periodi- cally eclipses the other, and it is to this eclipse. that the diminution of AIgoFs light is really due.
 Six such eclipses in Algol will be wis
 ible this month and we give below the times of the middle of the eclipse, which begins five hours previous and ends five hours previous and ends five hours la
 ter. These are as follows: Oct. 2, 0.4C l a. m ; Oct 4, 9.30 ?. m; Oct ', 6.2C
 a. m; Oct. "A, 11.15 p. m; Oct. 27, D
 ni. Oct. 90, 4.50 n m. All these are ii
 eastern standard time. It should no
 be difficult to pick out Algol from tn.
 other stars of Perseus and the obser vation of it's fading and recovery vii prove highly interesting and instructfv, II to every one.
 The great star of the constellation 0 l Taurus the Bull, the first magnitude Al !. elebaran, is as yet little low for con { venient observation, but with each nigh it will improve in position and .wil | soon be much higher in the sky The cluster of the Pleiades, which di , vides with Aldebaran the interest, ca 7 be found short distance further abov

Such gales as that of Thursday Is the way nature takes of trimming out the dead wood from the trees. Unfortu- nately it doesn't. always discriminate as much as might be desired and much more than the dead wood is removed, even big limbs and entire trees going down before the wind
 It is not possible to anticipate and prevent all the havoc that is caused by such storms but there seems to be no question but what there might be a large amount of the damage that is caused prevented if there was the prop CT amount of attention given to the in- spection and trimming of trees, the very appearance Of many of which requires no expert to point out the necessity of applying the saw and the axe.

 In many cities a regular survey. is made of the trees for the purpose ot l culling out the deadwood. That means the anticipation of the results of som, future storm and avoiding the incon. [ venience and expense that goes with 1 the falling of such material onto wires

REVENUE AND PROTECTION.

ascretary Houston of the treasury de- pastn1ent has been asked regarding the advisahility of increasing customs du- ties in order to increase our revenue, to whieh he replied If Europe is made to pay Ter debts she must be able to ship hef products to the United States It vii not dc to put the tariff up too hirA. We must continue to receive inn pores from the European nations if our exports are to be paid for
 Rhcre was no time even during our Highest tariff that we did not get i'm ports from Europe. It is not to be sup poaad that tariff rates would be imposed n r1ch a way as to shut off imports hHt We must 80 guard our industries lhaf it will not be possible for the coun- try 10 he flooded with such a quantity of tho European goods that. f will be 1nHos sible for our factories to compete. To fail to protect ourselves against tl1aa danger would simply Be inviting the closing Of our industries and be- oS1atng dependent upor European pro drst'on. and that possibility without a9spIate tariff protection will become ufogr and more apparent as production re Enrore increases

KEEPING OUT OF ENTANGLE-
 MENTS.

when the democratic, candidate for pres ident holds up the fact Y that we hava, not had to fire shot in order to uphdld the Monroe doctrine <: and att ternp,.s to claim from that ssthat we would not have to do more in the league of na tions' can it be possible that he overlo olSs.. !taek fact that it was through our dstern1ined stand. against mixing up in anl European entanglements that we were respected in our position taken under the Monroe doctrine Had we gone sahead and made alliances in Eu- rope, in disregard for the advice that has baen needed for 50 many years, we would have had plenty of opportunities for firing shots in defense of the doc urine a.s set forth by President Mon roe
 We have set good example and we have not. refrained from using our in fluence and dollars when 1t was neces- sary for better conditions and relief in Europe but we have not attempted tc mix into .the affairs of those countries For that reason we had good ground for declaring that we would not toler ate European interference in this par of the world. Let us throw overboart the Monroe doctrine, let us get mixed up with the affairs of Europe and le us be subject to call for the backing III of the orders of the league regarding territorial limits and be as small as during the past ione hundred years. Eu
 ropean quarrels, are not halted by ideal istic understandings. They are not
 stopped by solemnly made treaties anc
 the duty of this country rests in meet ing its own problems before 1t under takes to. settle those of Europe espec l ially when it is recognized what Euro pean tendencies arc.
 After what the Monroe doctrine ha done in the past hundred years can
 be considered desirable to cast it asid

THE HEAVENS IN OCTOBER

rising of Aldeparan together with the sun was taken to mark the beginning
 of spring; later,. when Aries became the spring sign in place of Taurus AL
 debaran was still the brightest star in the first of the zodiacal signs. The as2
 trologers looked upon this star as par ticu1ar1y lucky one, which would bring
 to those under it's protection wealth,
 honor and power.
 ] Only. seven stars are visible to us ob-
 aervers that are brighter than Aldebar-
 an, which is practically standard first
 magnitude star, according to the more
 strictly scientific method of gaging mag
 tlitudes The light of AIdebaran shows
 s.n undoubted reddish tinge and proba- lily indicates a very great age, or de-
 ielopment and cooling. Its light takes nearly 30 years to reach us. whereas
 the sun. which is 90,000,0 900 miles away, sends us his light in about eight min
 tftes. If Aldebaran were suddenly to sxperience a remarkable catastrophe or should suddenly cease to exist we should be entirely unaware of this, and g! generation would ps ss before our as ironorners would learn of the change. A generation of men on earth would see

 | Examples of worship of the Pleiades i group can be given almost without linn i 1t in number, but suffice it to say here ! that no star worship was more wide klpread than this. Every continent and every cline, from the Americas to the ldalay Islands, abound with legends Eilnd monuments which testify to the l reverence and veneration felt for these ftars'
 In beauty they are unsurpassed; they
 form q naked-eye cluster of medium bright stars for which no telescope is needed. Alcoyne, the brightest, is pure white in colorh Some years ago one as- Itronomer announced that, according to luis calculation Aleoyne was the center of our. universe and that all the other Iitars revolved about it in orbits. But
 this is certainly not true.
 As matter of fact, the stars of the
 loleiades are moving together through space in the same direction and witt equal velocities, keeping the identity oi : Ithe group, showing thus that they ar' l really intimately connected physicalE ) with one another and not merely seer
 together in the sky, like so many othe [ | close neighbors of the heavens. : Most people can easily make out sev : tn distinct stars in, the group under fai t | atmospheric conditions; some can see a 1 many as thirteen. A good telescope wi
