base of the cerebrum and it is human nature to believe that a person is not enthusiastic about his objection to proposed legislation unless he utters a few damns by way of emphasis and punctuation.
 It is estimated that an additional eN- pense of $15O,000 per annum will be added to our tax burdens if the bill passes the upper house and is ap proved by Governor Lake. Our pipe line holdings extend through several towns in the direction of our source of water supply and they must be eX- tended if our water system keeps pace with the growth Of the city. Thesa towns whose earth we occupy would have fat pickings in the years to come. All cities are legitimate prey for the bucolic population and we can picture their delight, az they sit around the cracker barrel in the gen. era! store and smile expansive-and to the cities, eXpensive-smiles, tho while they chuck1e at the helpless urbanites.
 However depressing the foregoing may be, we should take for our motto the words over the padded cell in the Meriden police station: "Dum spiro,
 
 English means While there is life, there is hope" And the hope springs from the rumor that the pipeline tax measure will be found by the janitor of tho capitol cold 1r death at the threshold of the senate chamber.
 New Britain's representatives in the General Assembly deserve congratu- lations for securing the passage of the appropriation of $75O,O0O to begin the construction of a new Normal school plant in this city For many days there was danger that the pres ent legislature would not take favor able action owing to the pressing de- mands for economy by Governor Lake. Fortunately, that fear is now dispellcd and, it is said that the governor will sign the appropriation, although there is no official confirma- ton of this statement while this is being written.
 There is need of economy in state affairs, as Governor Lake has pointed out so convincingly. But there is a vast difference between waste and wise expenditures, and the payment of money for the erection of a new Normal school cannot, by the widest stretch of the imagination, be inter

MOTORS AND EYE;SIGHT.

It k comparatively easy matter to SC turc license to drive an auto mobile in this city. The applicant has merely to give the police department demonstration of his or her ahil- ity to handle a car sfactorily. and tn" !ccnso is given.
 With our efficient police depart ment this is yer, good and practi- cal way of proving that one is entitled [" thu license.
 The member of the department. however. before whom the demon stration is given. would he quick to note any organic trouble with the ap- plCant which would make it unwisc to giTC the license. Were tho appIi- cant to barely graze a telephone pole here. dust the dirt off an electric light str ndard there and to g,ve other evil dCnces Of poor eycsight. the police man would feel it his duty to report unfavorably on granting the license.
 For this reason it is wise that pro- vision is made for the revoking Of a liccnse at any time when it appca rs that the holder no longer deserves one. A drivers eyesight may fail. for instangc.
 Few persons. however. try to drive cars when there is anSth- -ng radically wrong with their eyesight. When their license was first granted them they might have been able to see per fcctly. but aa the years pass the eye becomes dimmed and the time comes eventually when the driver recognizes the fact that he may drive no longer with safety to himself. his passengers and the general public.
 Bus tho matter should work both ways. The police department licenses people to drive. The police depart m"nt regulates traffic: it directs those it has licensed how and where they should drive. especially in congested districts II should take as much pre- caution. therefore. in regard to the physical condition and ability of the members Of the force who thus regu- late traffic. and who direct cars when to go" and when to stop as 1t does in regard to thoso drivers.
 Only the policemen with the keen est Of eyesight the steadiest of nerves and the greatest ability to size up a situation and act quickly should be assigned to handle tho traffic.

San Antonio is the largest city in
Texas. Il was founded by the Span
iards in IT'S. Jews were first estab-
lished as a community about 1854,
when the cemetery was founded. Tenn
pie BETHEL, the Reform Congregation
was definitely organized May Slst,
1874.
The following rabbis have served
the Congregation: B. l.. Jacobs, |.
Lewinthal. Moses p. Jacobson, II. FL
kin. and Samuel Marks, who after
"a years Of service has recently been
elected Rabbi Emeritus, Sidney S.
Tedesche is the present rabbi Of Tenn
pie BETHEL. D. ]. Straus is president
Of the Congregation. Many new mem
bers have joined the Temple recently
and Judging from the wonderfully in
creased attendance and activities,
Temple BETHEL is going through
religious awakening.
The present Temple BETHEL built
in 1908, is on valuable property which
was originally donated to the Congre-
CATION. The location is no longer suit
able because Of the noise Of traffic in
terfering with the solemnity Of the
services nor is the building adequate
to house the many increased needs OF
a modern congregation. 1t is earnest
" hoped that an edifice in keeping
with the dignity and standing Of a
Jewish Community in the largest city
in the State will be built in the near
future.
