STONE THROWERS LIABLE
Motor Vehicle Law Provides Penalty
 For Such Acts

Frequently automobilists have re- ported to the authorities that stones, or other objects have been tI-rown at their car and in many cases dam age was done. Usually the culprits escape, as they have the advantage of the person driving the ear and can get away before the car is stop ped and pursuit begun.
 Under the recently changed motor vehicle laws persons throwny ob- jects at motor vehicles are liable to punishment by the state authorities as we'll as local authorities, if appre- kended.
 Section 62 of the new motor ve- hicle laws reads:
 No person shall throw any object at a motor vehicle or a person in such motor vehicle or on any high way, which may cause injury to such vehicle OF the tires thereon or to any person therein. Any person wno shall violate any provision of this section shall be fined for the first otfense not more than fifty dollars and, for each subsequent ofense may be imprisoned for not more than sixty days.

Named for Important Post

James W. Hague, former post master of Torrington, has been ap- pointed executive head for the en- forcement of prohibition in the state of Connecticut under Director Harry E. Mckenzie. MT. Hague re- ceived official notice from Washing ton of his appointment He will be- gin his new duties on September 6, and probably will have his headquar- ters in Hartford.
 The post is responsible one, re- quiring a man of exceptional iudg- nlent and high degree of executive ability. 2 MT. Hague possesses these essential qualifications and his many friends predict that he will make the same admirable record in this office that he made as postmaster.
 MT. Hague was postmaster for five terms. He received his first ap- pointment in 1889 and his second in 1897 under the Mckinley admins tration. His third and fourth ap- pointments came during the admin lstration of President Roosevelt and his fifth under President Taft. Dur ing his tenure of office, the postal business passed through the period of its greatest growth and the ser 1 vice was characterized by the highest degree of efficiency. The splendid record made by MT. Hague as post master was an important factor in securing for him the new office for which he has been named.

African Salt.

A report made to the French Society of Biology shows that 25,OOO,OOO human beings in the Congo region commonly employ salt of potassium instead of salt of sodium for seasoning their food. They obtain this salt from the ashes of certain plants. Since the opening up of the country ordinary salt has been largely imported, but the negroes regard it as insipid, and aban- don with regret the use of their fam iliar ashes. They take the imported salt only because it Is cheap.

Marine Band to Visit Torrington

Marlne Band to Visit Iorrington
 The United States Marine Band, one of the most noted organizations of its kind in the country, will vislt Torrington on October 20 and give two concerts under the auspices of Torrington Post, American Legion, according to announcement made by Commander Paige A. Seaton.
 This band, known as the "presi- dents own," has led every inaugural parade in Washington since the in- arguration of Jefferson.
 This is it's first concert trip in six years and inasmuch as it is to visit only three or four of the largest Connecticut cities, the Torrington Legion men feel themselves most fortunate in having been able to secure booking.
 The band was formed in 1901 and during the past 120 years has had only eight conductors. The present conductor, Santelmann, has served since 1898. The band will bring it's full complement of 50 players, and is certain of an enthusiastic well come from Torrington lovers of music.

things the war had brought him.
And then the retailer, suffering
the effects of buyers strike, de-
clined to take the losses neces-
sary to bring about activity IN
trade. Neither did he want TO let
90 of any OF the advantages in
profits the war period had given
him. He was merely "holdin' on
to what he had got. But he had
to let go, and in many cases his
losses were far larger than was
good for business.
Now the readjustment is down
10 the wage-earner, and neither
does he want to give up his war
paw. He, too, is merely trying to
"hold on" to what he has got.
and he is doing no more than the
manufacturer and the merchant
did a year ago. In the end, the
readjustment must come, just as
il did for them. But "holdin' on
to what you got" regardless OF
all that, is just a natural human
tendency and the necessities OF
the moment from the standpoint
of public welfare do not rob the
"lettin' go" process OF any OF its
agencies for the individual who
must undergo the painful opera
ton.

SATURDAY. APRIL %, 1921.
ROMANCE IN THE SOUTH SEAS

a protest recently came from
the people OF one Of the islands Of
the South Seas which we have
been accustomed to think of as
inhabited by savages. They com
planned that they were pictured
as going about in state Of
nudity, whereas the truth was,
they said. that they had worn
much the same sort OF clothes as
we do for two generations and
would be as much shocked as we
if one of their number should APP
pear in public without raiment.
Our conception of the life of
those fascinating islands in re-
mote part Of the world is based
largely on the stories of Herman
Melville, Robert Louis Steven
son, Jack London and other writ
ers OF romance; doubtless many
of our ideas concerning the region
and its people are as wide of the
truth as the misrepresentation that
the folk OF the protesting islands
90 naked. We must guard, how
ever, against going to the other
extreme and picturing the South
Seas as civilized to the same eX-
tent as the United States or Eu-
rope. Frederick O'Brien has
shown otherwise in white Shad-
ows in the South Seas" and an
other traveller has recently return
ed from one of the more obscure
islands with the statement that
the natives are barbarians of the
most primitive sort and still prac-
tice cannibalism.
And now comes from Papeete,
Tahiti, as a news dispatch. yarn
that would do credit to the imagi-
nation of any of the novelists of
the South Seas. Ii is a story OF
treasure taken from Peru during a
revolution many years ago and
buried on one of the coral stolls
to the eastward of Tahiti. Dying
in Sidney. the last survivor of the
piratical band that stole the Jew
els revealed the hiding place to
a stranger who had befriended
him. and an expedition is being
fitted out to hunt for the loot.
That it is taken seriously by a
number of people who are willing
to risk money on the recovery of
the treasure is pretty good evil
dence that the possibilities of a
wild and romantic adventure of
the kind that Stevenson loved to
narrate are still far from exhaust
ed, and that romance is yet to be
found in the South Seas.
