WASHINGTON HAD HumoR

Those who knew Washington wei seem 10 have had different opinions ei him. Some declared that Washington never smiled and never laughed. 9th CTS nave left records not only of the incidents at which he laughed but ever record instances Of humor.
 We arc told that Jefferson. who war full of french views disliked the ides of two houses in congress, and one dey he called on Washington to object tc the system. As was the custom in tho days the men were served with tea while they talked. Washington listened attentively 10 the objections of Jef ferson advanced. He replied to then by saving that although Jeffers1 was much better informed than he nevertheless he would adhere to tho experience of England and America Then Washington's eyes twinkled snt said:
 You yourself have proved the ex cellence Of the two houses this yer, moment
 '1?" Jefferson exclaimed. How f that. general"
 You have turned the hot tea int, the saucer to let it cool" Washing ton said. Tt is the same thing we de- sire in the two houses" When Washington was dining witi some friends one day. it is said. h, was placed so that his back was to wards the open grate which was roar | ing merrily. lt became SO hot that thu ! general complained and said that hl would have to change the base of hi ] operations. One of the diners chucixlel bit and said it behooved a genera ! to stand fire.
 True Washington said. hut ! dosn' look well for a general to stsn' ! fire from behind. ."-Cleveland Plain Deal

TIDE MOTOR NEEDED

Tide and wave motors were for many years in the Keeley motor and perpet- ual motion class. or their inventors were to a large extent. at least. There is all the difference possible however between the so-called perpetual mo- ton efforts and those dealing with the tides. because in the latter case the power is visibly there. untold millions of it. and the problem is simply 10 harness it. not create it.
 Out Of all the efforts covering more than 200 years very little has survived and no tide motor so far as known been duplicated in a second place. And vet fortunes have been spent and fai- thful earnest work continued for many years. To find the North Pole at one time seemed much less likely of ac- complishment. The honored discover CT of the Pole passed into history sev- ersl years ago, and the tide motor is still waiting.
 It would seem that the subject should receive new and fresh start at this time. Our coal fuel while by no means exhausted has been under restrictions during the aast year which tend 10
 enlarge the view of what effective tide motors. which know no union rules could do towards keeping the freezin 2
 people warm. The tides never 20 on strike. no matter what the justifica -
 ton they work nights and Sundays and know no holidays. True. they can deliver the heat light and power on- ly as far as electrical transmission permits. but this is constantly being extended. The tides are never snow bound. with no wheels turning for days The vast tide power plant planned 1 for erection on the river Severn 10 cost | $50 H40, ,000 and produce from half 2 mil fO IL.

SOLDIER SUPPOSED DEAD, '
 PATIENT AT STATE HOSPITAL

Plans for a military funeral in Wor- cester for Carl Lemberg. of the 5e1st am munition train, who was reported killed in action in France in Novemberf 1918, have been halted by the discovery that the real Carl Lemberg is a patient in the Norwich state hospital Whose the body is that the war department is forwarding to Worcester IS not known.
 The unexpected turn in affairs resulted in message received in Worcester from the Norwich hospital that it had patient listed as Lemberg who talked incoher- ently about his home in Worcester John Lampnes of Greendale avenue. with whom Lemberg lived before he entered tn eservice, came to Norwich and sent back word that the patient is the former Worcester man supposed to be dead.
 Lemberg. has been at. the state hospital for. about a year having been committed there from New. London, where he was arrested as Q. Jack the. Peeper after he had tried. to. force an entrance into the home of Mrs. Savage. He was held for le days under observation. It was finally decided that he was mentally unbalanced and his commitment followed. C..
 Lemherg was drafted in September 1917. and assigned to the 301st ammuni- ton train at Camp Devens. Firing of the routine there, he disappeared, but was later located and assigned to another out fit and sent overseas.
 According to the report on him at the local home service section of the Red Cross the war department had him listed as deserter at Newark N. l.
 Since he has been at the Norwich stat, hospital he has not been able to tell any. thing about himself that would assist 1T | Identification. He is now employed a light work in the male industrial depart
 ment but little hope is given for mucH l improvement in his mental condition.

wILLndAyTIc JUDGE GIVES
 RESULTS OF PRoHIBITIO,

In response to request from the Willimantic, W. C. T. U. for some figures with reference to the result Of the prohi- bition anne ndment in the Wiilimsntic po- lice court Judge Frank H. F has made the following reply:
 '1n the ffrse place as the number of cases, my figures in all instances being from the first of January. 1917, when I first took office until the present. In the two years before July first 1919, the average number of cases in the police court was three hundred. The first year of prohibition there were 1s9 cssNs. This last year there has blen 229.
 T have senarsted the cases Before the police court in the last five years into eighteen general headings. and T find that in all except four of these head ings. the average for the five years is approximately the same.
 "The average of theft cases for the three years before prohibition was 2s. The first year of prohibition there was but eleven. This last year. which -aas still nearly two months to run, there have been thirty-seven. The average of motor vehicle violations for the three years before prohibition was forty There were thirty-six last year and there have already been sixty-nine this year. The drunkenness cases avera ge one hundred sixty before proi.s ton. Last year .here were forty-three and this year already seventy-one. The aver age violations of the liquor laws before prohibition were four, last year two, this year already thirty-six.
 The average receipts turned over by the | police court at the end Of each quarter to the city treasury before prohibition was a | little less than S2.400 Last year we turned over i1,sss.ss. and the fiscal year | just ended we have turned over S4.659.s4 In other words, the number of cases | before the police court dropped about 1of | the first year of prohibition but have come nearly one-half way back this year | The number of drunkenness cases aisc dropped sharply to about 30 ner cent. IT | the first year of prohibition, but nearly doubled this past year. with two months | yet to run. The cases of theft dropped l also to about one-third, but are now back | higher than before. while the violation: of the liquor laws have been nine timei as many this year as the average Of for.
 mer years.
 The chief result of prohibition as re fiected in the local police court is 5' per cent. drop in plain drunk cases. .
 very large increase in violations of tho liquor laws, and 9 100 per cent. increas' rately dete/mininc how much time is con
 stunned by the sessions of the court. but il my best judgment it is not less than am may be trife more now than three year
 ago.
