They couldn't see his weakness, they
could only see his mind,
Which was stored with fairy stories
OF a most enhancing kind.
The grown-ur5 called him simple.
something old folks often do.
But the children flocked around him
for the wonders that he knew;
And they idolized old William, poor
Of purse and sometimes frail,
Who knew better than their fathers
how TO tell fairy tale.
Perhaps he was a failure, It is not for
me 10 say;
He met his round OF duties in an
easy going way,
He bore no heavy burdens and his
purse was always slim,
But the children idolized him and
they saw no fault in him
Though some say his years were
wasted IN my mind the thought
prevails
That God made Uncle William Just
70 tell those fairy tales.

UNIQUE GUARDSON DANGEROUS CURVES
State Highway Department Ex- \ perimenting on Berlin Pike

il Three new types Of guard raj, have neen put In place on tho Berlin turn. pike, just south of the Becklcy rail. road crossing as an experiment by thf Atate highway department, Clarence l. Bennett. state highway commissioner explained to a representative of the Herald this morning.
 Two Of the new types are supposed 10 prevent cars from going over cm. paRkmcnts. The first tyne put in place Is practically the same as the old wooden fence which has been in use on dangerous curves for many years past. The second consists of n series Of heavy square concrete poles, weighted at the bottom which makes thcm hard to tip over and connected by a wire cable. If a car runs into the pole or cable the force of resist ance will keep 1t from continuing iurther on It's way. It will take an extra heavy weight to knock over one of the concrete poles. The third cx- pertinent is that sof a wooden guard rail with the lower rail projecting out towards the road. The lower rail is supposed to set an automobile or vehicle back onto the road if it should glide off it's course and strike the fence.
 z MT. Bennett explained that the ex- pertinent is being made in Berlin only as this curve is considered to be among the most dangerous in the state and is near Hartford, where the tryout can be watched by members of the state highway department.
 The new concrete type of guard will not only do away with the, ex- pcnsc of always repairing wooden rails when the autoists smash through it but will prove less costly and less dangerous, to the luckless motorist. The posts, which weigh about 400 pounds, are supposed to act as an anchor to the cable and if they are knocked over they will only need to be reset. The motorist will save on repair bills, it is claimed, and the danger of turning over. due to striking pieces of railing which have been knocked to the ground will be reduced.
 Mir. Bennett said that if the new ex- pcriments prove successful in Berlin such rails and guards will be estab- lished at other dangerous points on the highways of Connecticut.

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
"AcApEMYr

TN THE days when Athens was
regarded as the seat Of learn
Ing for the entire world, the
suburb, Akademia-so-called be-
cause it was supposed originally
to have belonged to the Attic
hero, Academus-was used by
the citizens as a gymnasium and
conference ground. 1t was here
that Plato purchased a small
garden, In which he opened his
school and taught his philoso-
ply for more than 90 years, his
scholars receiving the name Of
Academies" Because Of this,
other public places designed for
the gathering of the learned and
the teaching of the young have
been known as academies.
Cicero also had villa or
country-seat near Puteoli, which
he called Academia, In memory
Of the suburb Of Athens, and 1t
was this name which inspired
him to name his famous work,
"QuaeEtiones Academicae." Pos
sibly because Of this fact Italy
has had the honor of founding
more academies Of worldwide
renown than any other nation,

founded by Cardinal Richelieu
In 1885. stands at the top Of the
