NEARLY 800 ARRESTS FOR
 AUTO LAW VIOLATIONS

July was a record month for prose cutions for violations of the state motor
 vehicle laws Reports to the motor
 vehicle department show that there were at least twenty-five arrests a day, on the average for such violations, the
 total for the month being TSP. an in crease of 146 over the total for the cor
 responding month of last year.
 Fines imposed in 593 cases of the 7S2
 arrests for the past month aggregated
 s1l,50S. as compared to fines of $1O,325 forwarded to the department for July, 1921. As there were nearly 10000 more cars on the loads last month, however, the increase in arrests is not held to in dicate greater disregard for the motor laws. It is also apparent that local po-
 lice departments, particularly in Fair fed county. are enforcing these laws
 more strictly ip conformity with the
 general statewide effort looking to
 greater safety on the public highways. A large percentage of the arrests last month were for the operation of
 automobiles with only one headlight in order Especially when the dead head light is on the left side of the car, this is considered a great menace to traffic | coming in the opposite direction, as it becomes practically impossible for ap- preaching drivers to determine whether ! 1t is an automobile or a motorcycle in the road ahead
 l Since the last session of the legisla- ture, when the inspection division was | transferred from the motor vehicle Ge- ! partment to the reorganized state police i department, the former has had nothing | to do with the enforcement of the motor
 vehicle act, except that, in it's admin l istrative capacity, the motor vehicle de- partment, local and state, pointing Gut | conditions which, in the opinion of the
 commissioner, require attention Com
 missioner Stoeckel said that he was grat flied at the manner in which the loca police departments are cooperating 1T the safety work.

JEWETT CITY

There is sequel to the story of the killing of the Schermansky horse by train, last week, near Reades siding. Evidently some of that family think the easiest way to get another horse is to help oneself to a neighbours horse in the dead of night, without leave CT ll.'e1se. Saturday night, after Paul Geists fam fly had retired, Mrs. Geist thought she heard horse walking in the barn, so MT Geist went out to investigate. He first saw a horse collar on the floor, and found his two new work horses Tn their stalls Going to the end of the barn he discovered that Tommy, the milk horse, was missing. Also bridle. He notified the state police and Officer Me Dermott in Jewett City. Going to Dun can Mackay's for help to search for ihe horse he met an automobile going south.
 Stopping this, the driver said he had not seen any horse Another automobile came from the south and the driver said he had met the horse and two children. The two men started down the road and went to Kanahan's gate and turned down the lane. They came upon the horse standing in the lane. A small girl
 emerged from the bushes and vocifer- ously announced that she Never would ! do it again,'' The men went on D tne : [ seemed to think it was a huge joke at first. Mir. Geist was not of that opinion, ] however The children, David and Vir- ginia, are six and eight years of a6e. How they alone could open the barn
 door is a mystery. It is so heavy that | a man has to used his strength to ! open and close it. How such small I children could back the horse out of the
 stall is also a mystery wagon stood
 almost blocking the way. How could
 such small children bridle a horse or find their way about the barn in the dark? What were two children of that age doing away from home in the mid dle of the night? The ScherInansky
 family members have been considerably
 in the limelight of late. A son held ur the Ashland Cotton Go. paymaster mol
 long ago and is in Cheshire reforma
 tory. The trouble resulting from no
 sending some of the children to school
 and an attempt by officials to collec
 the fine came to court.

COLLECTING FIGURES ON
 MANUFACTURERS COAL NEEDS

The Manufacturers Association of Connecticut acting upon authority granted it by the state fuel distribution commission has sent out call for in formation as to the amount of coal needed by each manufacturing estab- lishment in the state. Letters have been addressed to each firm calling their at tention to the seriousness of the situation with the probability of an acute short age of coal, and asking that certain questions be replied to as promptly as possible Each firm is asked to give es- ti1nated figures on tonnage on hand, en route and on order for future delivery /; how shipped and from whom purchased, and approximately weekly consumption for the balance of the year. In addition to this, manufacturers are asked whether they now use fuel oil or wood, or are equipped to do so.
 The Manufacturers Association hopes 10 have this questionnaire in the hands of all manufacturing concerns by the first part of next week, but requests that
 any firm whose name may have been in
 advertantly omitted so advise the associ- stion at it's offices at 252 Asylum street, Hartford.
 That the coal supply situation Is ex- tremely serious at present and is cer- ta4i Lo p1 HUI easllS4S So uul ms o iOii- period following the strike is evidenced by the fact that the federal government has undertaken the distribution of both hard and soft coal through a commission headed by Secretary Hoover.
 ] We are facing a problem equally as serious as that which confronted us dur 1 ing the World war. Bituminous coa l production is extremely limited, a bare
 three million tons per week. Anthracite 1 production is practically nil, and due tt , the rail strike there is an alarming ] shortage of serviceable coal cars. Ever! ! Connecticut manufacturer has jus cause to be concerned for it is proble
 matical whether or not the mines cal produce sufficient coal to keep industrie running through the winter,
