TROLLEY FARES

The letter of the public utilities commission, published in The Herald of yesterday, is a. refusal to grant the petition of New Britain for q six cent fare, "at this time. Tt would be unfortunate. says the letter, so to readjust or reduce rates of fare at this time as to put the company back in it's previous condition, and at this writing conditions do not justify any extended experiment with rates of |" fare in new territory, especially as the state is now deriving benefit by reason of the payment Of back taxes. v
 No reduction of rates in new ter rttory. Then the commission goes on to suggest reduction in new territory in Norwail. but not in New Britain. ''The comraiSsion suggests, the letter says, "by way of further experiment in Norwalis until July lst 1922, and until further direction by this com mission, that five cent fares, without transfer, be established on each of the lines in NorwaIk.'
 Of course the commission may say another. line in Norwalk is not new territory" The five cent fare is being tried there. The suggestion to try it on leach ot the lines" in Norwalk was inspired by the fact that the five cent test has been q success there has made financial improvement over previous operations New terri tory" according to the commission, must be matter of miles. How many miles? How far outside the Norwalk territory is New Britain? Where does "old territory cease?"
 The suggestion of the five cent fare test came from New Britain, unless ' the oft repeated assertion is incorrect It was made in good faith in the be- slief that if it was shown to be a success, in Norwalk or wherever it was tried, New Britain would get the benefit of it. Moreover it was be- lieved that New Britain would get word of commendation for making the suggestion. If memory serves the then Mayor of New Britain was asked If he wanted the five cent fare, his suggestion, tried out here. His reply was that New Britain did not want to be selfish about it, but that he be- lieved such a trial would prove it's success. It has been tried in Norwalk It has been such a success that the commission suggests extending it there for further trial. Where does New Britain, with her suggestion, stand? Will the next trial be for a territory two miles out of Norwalk, and then two miles more? When will New Britain be reached?
 The commissions expert says the Norwalk territory is different" There are short lines there.
 New Britain people feel the New Britain territory is different" too. The lines here are short People here

whats in a Name?"
By MILDRED MARSHALL
Facts about your name; It's history; mean
ing; whence it was derived; significance,
your lucky day and lucky jewel
ANTOINETTE

ITO THE average person, Antoinette
and Annette are regarded as
closely related-the former Is
thought to be merely an elaboration
of the latter. But such Is not the
case. Annette, which will be dis
cussed later, comes from the Hebrew,
while Antoinette is of Roman extrac-
ton. 1t means 'inestimable" and is
said to have originated with Antius,
a son of Hercules.
Several distinguished Roman fami-
lies bore the name of Antonius and its
first famous exponent was Mark An
thony, ayenger of Caesar and lover
of Cleopatra. 1t received reputa-
ton for sanctity through st. Anthony,
the great hermit of the Fourth century.
The feminine form Antonio made its
appearance in Italy, also, and in Spain,
where it still is popular. The Ger
mans adopted 1t as Antonio, but the
French are responsible for the charm
ing Antoinette which is forever pity
ingly recorded in history through the
fate of lovely Marie Antolnette, queen
of Louis XVI.
The French later contracted An
toinette to Toinette, popular form
throughout the country. Toinon is also
sometimes used as a diminutive. Italy
has an Antoinetta and an Antonica.
Antonio and Antonetta are the favor
lite equivalents in Sweden.
The garnet is Antoinette's talismanic
stone. 1t possesses many of the powers
Of the ruby, whose flaming heart 1t
80 closely initiates. 1t promises its
wearer courage, dauntless heart,
and success In every ambition. Friday
is her lucky day and 8 her lucky num-
Der.

keeping her house free from mice.

All the little kittens listened with

ing. for well they knew that such wis
dom as hers was hard to find.
"Now, there are the rats" she said
"all pussies cannot catch rats, but the

my advice to you is this: When you
see a rat look for trap, there is sure
to be one around; then all YOU have
to do is 10 keep that rat from getting
back to his hole.
"Chase him toward the trap. and
when he finds he cannot get home he
will run into the trap, you may be
sure. and there you have him.
Chasing rats into traps is Just as
clever as catching them, but never lei

sizes; you must mind your Ms and RS,
and If you do this you will become

kittens"
AS all the kittens trotted home be-
hind their mothers they looked so wise
that any mouse or rat would have run

FROST-BITE REMEDY

The Salt Lake Tribune of recent
date prints the following sent in by
a subscriber:
have been deeply grieved to
hear of so many persons, both in
our community and elsewhere who
have been so badly frozen that
amputation of hands or feet has
been necessary and | am sending
this article, clipped from an old
issue of the Popular Mechanics, and
| hope it may be of some use to
some one. | cannot vouch for the
efficiency of the treatment but it
seems so simple that can see no
harm in giving it trial:
"a frozen member of the human
body, foot, ear or hand, can be
safely thawed out by immersing the
member in coal oil and keeping it
there until the frost is all drawn
out of the member into the oil.
This may require several hours, if
it is a frozen ankel, or a hand
frozen to the wrist. 1t takes about
as long to draw out the frost into
the oil as it took the member to
freeze. This is absolutely a safe
remedy and one thus escapes the
surgeons knife, as no bad results
follows. This is not hearsay, as the
writer saw a man saved whose
hands were both frozen to the
wrists. He was found in the snow
lat temperature of as degrees
below zero) and given this treat
ment for about five hours, and all
the frost was drawn out without so
much as losing a finger tip"

HEY, GOBSl

n ERHAPS In nothing else are the
fashion and custom of the age
so distinctly characterized as In
the use of words. Any student Of the
language-any language, In fact-can
tell the approximate date of the au-
thorship of any writing by the choice
of the words it contains. You know
yourself how easy 1t is to recognize
Shakespeare from his wSrd choice-or
at least, how differently Shakespeare
and his contemporaries wrote from the
way Sir Walter Scott and o. Hen
ry. respectively, wrote.
Now, the words we choose to ex-
press our thoughts are. TO large ex-
tent, chosen because they are the
correct words to use. There are
styles and fashions In word usage,
as there are In the method of writing
letters and holding the knife, and we
reflect the fashion of our own day.
Our grandmothers and grandfathers
used far more stilted form than we
do Not only does 1t sound stilted, be-
cause 1t Is out of date, but 1t actually
was a more formal and stilted usage.
Slang, in those days, was not INDUCED
In by the well bred. Today, say what
we will against the use of slang. it Is
not sign of bad breeding. And, al
though we may caution our sweet
young daughters against using slang,
still we cannot keep them from rec
ognizing 1t as part and parcel of the
present-day English tongue.
Not long ago, some big billboards
inviting the sailors anchored In the
Hudson river to the various festivals
in the way of dances and feasts which
New York city had prepared for them.
began with the words, "Hey. Gobs !"
The posters went on TO specify time
and place and variety of the enter
tainments.
Now, can anybody imagine a Civil
war bulletin of invitation to the blue
jackets of the day beginning with the
words, Hey, Gobs?" No; that was
a day of more stilted language, and
slangy address to the sailors would
have been quite undignified.
There are times today, of course,
when we should avoid slang. Slang
does sound cheap from a dignified ma
iron. Too much slang shows GER
tain lack Of Imagination on the part
of the user, anyway. But stilted
usage of words is quite unnecessary.
OF course, If you are writing to the
diplomatic representative of a foreign
government, for instance, asking what
openings exist in his country for work
ers in some industry, you should
couch your letter of inquiry In digni-
fed language-even formal language.
II you are making an address bestow-
Ing a gift, you would likewise use
formal phraseology that might almost
be termed stiff. And you wouldn't
think, of course, In sending out invi-
tatIons for a dinner party. of starting
them off: Hey, friendw But the
day of stilted language for any save
the purely formal, almost document
airy, communication. is gone. We talk
easily and naturally, nowadays, and
the fewer verbal flourlshes we In
dule In the better.
