THE bod QUARANrINE.

Because of the several cases of dogs with dumb rabies that have been dis covered and disposed of in Norwich and Montville within short time the state commissioner of domestic animals has deemed it advisable to establish a quar- antine ou dogs within the two towns for the purpose of protecting persons and other animals It is one of those cases where it is believed that an ounce of prevention IS worth a pound of cure and that it is preferable that the dogs should be restricted until there is reas- onable certainty that any danger from this infective disease is over than to take chances and subject the comnuni- ties to any more chances.
 The restrictions are established in accord with the laws of the state and the enforcement thereof rests with cer- tain designated authorities. Gt is a case in which the authorities should have the full cooperation of the peo- pie of the respective towns. Through conformity 10 the requirements not only wfll danger Of the spread of the dis asss be curtailed but there will be re dueed 70 the minimum any friction with thoss who are required to see that the law is oheyed.
 + is plainly the duty of those whC have dogs and who care anything fol snenl to see that they are kept tied UT that others may not bite them and the3 in turn viii have no chance of spread ing the disease Such situations cal for a generous cooperation on the par CT the dog owners. Where there is 2 disregard for the requirements restrict ing the dogs there is no alternative fo the authorities but to do their dut! meaning the mourning of expense fol those who may seek to recover posses sion of impounded dogs, or the disposa 9f the animals.
 oVarantines of any kind are not vel usmed by t-ose who are affected. Never theless as a precautionary measur thsre is good reason for such coopera don in respecSng the rules that tn
 1aintensnce Of the quarantine may b 1he least botherEome. Warning hayin been legally given that the order be comes effective Wednesday at noon al 6or owners should govern themselye accordingly.

 A seemingly strange question, but it might well be put by the duck bill- ed Platypus-

 It is only recently that any faith has been placed in the extraordinary statements made by the Australian na- tives who had observed the creatures s habits at close quarters, says an ex- change.
 In appearance it resembles a mole, and is about IS inches long. Its eyes are small and 1t has webbed feet. In order that 1t may walk on slippery ground and burrow into river banks, il can, when out of the water, fold the edges Of the front webs back beneath the soles of it's feet, leaving its claws quite free.
 The beak is the most conspicuous feature. but from the naturalist's point ! of view it is not so interesting as the ! structure Of it's skeleton. which resem- bles that of lizard. and its eilk laying | habit.

But they soon~ withdrew, leaving a badly mixed problem 10 find its own solutions.
 The Bakue oil fields in 1917 in The midst of war and revolution produced nearly 50 million barrels of oil. But during the winter of 1s17-1S labor troubles and the closing of the o49 mile pipe line to Baum on the Black Sea re- duced the output. Political and soclal unrest have demoralized the oil industry which in Baku had reached a high de- gree of efficiency.
 During the troubles in 1918 there were frequent threats by various factions that the wells of this famous region would be fired to keep them from falling under foreign control
 ''Baku was the field in which Alfred B. Nobel, already noted as the inven- tor of dynamite and for his success as manufacturer of explosives. gained the fortune which On his death was partly devoted to the establishment of tile peace prize and the almost equally famous prizes for distinction in physi- cal science, in chemistry, in medical science and in literary excellence.

HIGHWAY DEVELOPMENT.

Improved highways and the problems connected herewith are constantly rowing Better and more permanent highways are being demanded in all di- -sctioHs. Not only are new routes sought and the improvement of addi- Aonsl roads urged but there is the guestioB of maintaining that which has already been constructed and in addi- don the putting down of different pave neats therein and the increasing of he width of the permanent roads.
 The problem is much the same as he railroads and trolley roads have had b solve. Increasing business has forced new extensions and the laying of dou- sie tracks to handle the traffic. and that is what the highway department og Massachusetts is now asked 10 do on hat much traveled thoroughfare be- lFeen Fall River and New Bedford. This stretch of road has a constant stream of traveling going in both direc- lions T. is the direct line between these two good sized cities, with the added attraction of large amusement park somewhat nearer the latter.
 But with the increase in the use of she automobile for business and pleas ure this trunk line in the opinion of the officials of the cities and towns through Vhich it passes is not wide enough to Eafsly handle it and efforts are being made to have another roadway of per rnanent pavement constructed to the south of the trolley tracks which are noE on the south side of the highway with the new roadway to be used fol tranc going in one direction and tht present roadway for that going the oth Pr way.
 This road is one over which nucf lest travelling is done. The nine mile, are covered in a brief time and ther, s no desire to sacrifice the speed mad Do aee0nunOdate more traffic if bette protection against accidents and over eroWdins can be obtained by the doub ling of the width of the road.

You don't seem to be a friend of mine this evening" If your sis ter wants me to call certainly shall do so I would be rude not to accept her hospitality Your sister always has gone out of her way to be extra nice to me and I can see no reason at all for hurting her feelings-f
 "Oh, she won't mind at all,'' his brisk roommate assured him. T never knew such a broad minded girl as my sister is She believes in letting people do just as they. choose because she says they know best.T
 That's just what I'm telling you" the handsome roommate frowned. T do know you don't want we to go with you I can come out on a later car easily. In fact, I am all ready now, and I think I'll start on ahead and you can come when you like. Understand, I am not going because of this Irene person-not at all, Merely because I hold your sis ter in such esteem and am only too glad to accede to any little wish she may express-''
 Its just as well that Irene makes difference to you,'" yawned the brisk young man, searching for the whisk broom. Because to tell the truth, ] don't think you'd have the ghost of a show. She was very much taken the other evening with Van Hippington
 Duggs, who was asked to dinner by my sister. She said Van had such noble cast of countenance and-' "Hah!' snorted the handsome room mate, If that's her style. I'm more cer.
 tain than ever I don't care to get ac-

 changes.

British workmen are warned by the ministry of labor not to attempt to get employment in Belgium. Two men dis charged from the army, boiler-cleaners by trade, went to Antwerp recently and obtained work, but owing to the atti- tude of the local trade union, who will not allow the employment of foreign and non-union men, they were strand ed, and are being repatriated by the British consul.
 15 Per Cent. Less Water: The appeal of the water board for a reduction of 15 per cent. in the quantity of water used in London during this month is one that can be easily responded to- Nor mally the average London household of five persons consumes every day in the summer approximately 200 gallons of water, or 40 gallons per head, and a reduction of IS per cent. would still leave each person 34 gallons daily. The board has at present rather less than a months supply stored in the Thames valley, and other reserves in the Lea valley. But these will soon have to be drawn on. for owing to the want of rain tbe Thames is abnormally low. or i every 20 gallons of water which flowed l over Feddington Weir four months ago 1 less than one gallon is flowing now.

 After having been annoyed more than an hour by past master of this spe- cies, little girl less than six yearS old entered his establishment to inquire whether he would buy some sassasfras roots "No." he bswied and she imme- diately turned for the door and said good-by.
 This seemed to touch the tender chora and he called to inquire the price. She said five cents. He asked how many roots bunch contained and after eH- animation she replied that most punches had six roots, one contained seven. She declined his offer of four cents explain ing that it could not be sold for sU little as it was fresh dug root and that she was the only one selling it.
 He bought the bunch containing the greatest number of roots and the trans action was closed.

That fact, even though he knew t to be FFpng was ex- euse enough for him to do likewise. The case sefyes to show the nnftAess of the man who was authorised to isaue such permits.

THE MEXICAN CONFERENCES.

What the outcome Is going to be of the conferences that have been ar ranged for this week between the oil men of this country and the different branches of the Mexican government, no one can teli. There is that degree Of uncertainty regarding the republic to the south even in these days when eer- tain improvement is to be noted that makes it difficult to judge that govern ment. Mexico hasn't gotten to the Deint as yet where it can be judged by what it ought to do or what is for the best interests of that country. It still har- bors an antipathy to its neighbor that causes it to handicap it's possibilities. and maintains an attitude that prevents it from getting the assistance that it seeks and seriously needs.
 Mexico has long desired he recog- nition of it's government by this coun- try. It could have easily obtained it had it been willing to carry out the re- quirements of the state department and definitely agree that the rights and in- terests of American subjects would be protected, regardless of the provisions of one article of it's constitution. Those rights and interests concerned to a large degree the oil holdings of Ameri- cans wne had acquired them legitimate ly. The confseatory provisions of that article, which ebregen has not been willing to put in black and white would not be enforced, have been followed by the imposition of taxes which are de clared to make 1t impossible for the owners to do business. This situation likewise involves oil which accounts for the proposal that American oil meT should explain their position to the Mexican government and the arrange
 ments for them to do so in the confer
 enees this week.
 Such a conference it is to he realized 1 will have no participation on the par of this government. Inasmuch as oi
 is the question over which much diff | culty arises 1t is natuFal to feel that :. l an understanding can be reached re
 garding that it will pave the way fo ] clearing up other matters and there i | the possibility of the ultimate recog milton of the Obregen government
 Mexico may get such help and enlight 1 ernment as will make it possible for
 to appreciate the wisdom of meeting tA l American requirements.
