A Stretch of Oyster Shells.

After passing these, the visitor comes to
a stretch of ground which at once attracts
attention by its white. shelly appearance.
At a short distance it would seem that
white gravel had been carefully spread
over the ground. Closer examination,
however, shows that the place is covered
with broken oyster shells. the remnants
of an Indian encampment which history
tells us existed here over three centuries
ago. The extreme hardness of these
shells, although trampled underfoot for
hundreds of years. renders them prac-
tcally indestructible
There bubbles from the adjacent hill
side spring of clear. cold water that nc
doubt supplied the ancient encampment
and which now serves the same purpose
for the residents in the little cottages and
the houseboats
In the midst of this shell-strewn ex-
panse. surrounded by a high iron fence
stands a huge tulip tree. towering aloft
in quiet dignity as though guarding sacred
memories of the past. The trunk of this
stately tree had become partially de-

cayed, but the hollow space was filled IL
with cement, the vigor of the tree being
thus preserved.
The smooth outer surface of this 2e-
ment filling now bears the following in
scription:

fera. Circumference 10 feet. Height

broken oyster shells around this tree
and near by.
This tree was thoroughly repaired
and the fence erected around it, Oc-
tober, 1912"
Given the fact of an Indian encamp-
ment here. and that Hendrick Hudson with
his sailors entered this inlet in the Half
Moon on his voyage of discovery in 1909,
it is more than probable, in fact, almost
certain, that the celebrated explorer stood
on the spot where the giant tulip tree
now casts its shade.

TaX.DOdging.
(Fitchburg Sentinel.)

tCllcHpuES CeHIliIti.J
At q meeting of tax officials of New
England states. it would appear that TO
he a tax official is to lose trust in the
honesty of that very large portion OF the
Deople who are taxpayers. 1t IS reported
that all of the disilluSioned gentlemen
agreed that taX-dOdging has become the
greatest indoor pastime of America to-
day. We are inclined to think that they
are too peSsimistic about American CON
duet in the matter of taxation, and that
they have come to regard every wander
ing from the strictest letter of the tax
laws as intentional misconduct. The tax
commissioner of Connecticut made out n
better case for purpOseful taX-dodglng IN
he evidence he presented than did the
FAX commissioner of Massachusetts. Re
ferring to the sales tax law recently en-
acted in Connecticut, he stated that
many merchants claimed exemption of
payment. He said that So per cent of
those making this claim deliberately
falsifed. We have heard of Connect
cut as having had great success with
wooden nutmegs, but we want TO hear
from the other side before crediting the
statement that So per cent of its mer-
chants are deliberate tax falsiiers.
The tax commissioner of Massachu-
zetts produced much less conclusive evil
dence of taX-dodging. He said that al
though there are 321 900 pleasure auto
mobiles in Massachusetts, only 291, 900
persons fled income tax returns this
year That would leave 10000 persons
10 be taxically accounted for. 1t does
not seem to warrant any broad general
ization about the universally of tax
lodging in this state. The genius of
Horny Ford for organized and standard
lied production has enabled a person to
become the proprietor of flivver, even
though his income does not run into the
thousands. One may see persons joy
ously riding in fiivyers on almost any
well-frequented road in the common
wealth. whose income falls below the
amount prescribed in the income tax
law. with its due exemptions At any
rate, Massachusetts automobilists make
la better showing of honesty than the
merchants of Connecticut. For on tho
/ assumption of the tax commissioner only
about Is per cent of the total number
fare tax-dodgers, which is a very small
percentage compared with. the So per
/ centage of Connecticut merchants.

Time TO Consider.
IGrnton TiIneS.l

One thing the legislatures i'll New
Hampshire and Vermont Will do well to
i've careful attention to at the coming
sessions is lettering the laws relating to
automobile traffic with the purpose of do
ing all possible 10 cut down motor acct
dents. This is a really serious problem,
and one which laws might tend to tighten.
Vermont has law which necessitates
exporting motor accidents, no matter
how small. This gives the authorities
aews of them and an opportunity to in
FeSugatc. AS q result many licenses
ave been suspended or revoked New
hampshire has no such law. News of
ncidents must come otherwise, and the
feet is to give the department little
lutffentic information.
There are lot of poor drivers in each
tate. Perhaps it Is impossible to guard
against this entirely, but it is beheyable
hat more attention to the issuing of Ii
censes would tend to improve the quality
Of driving ability.
Human nature cannot be changed by
law. There will always be those who
are poor in Judgment, mean in disposition
and short in brains They are the ones
who make driving and automobile dan
gerous for others. 1t IS too much to ex-
Dect that brain can be issued along with
licenses to drive. Bat licenses should
not be issued to any who show too great
a lack of Judgment.
There is the driver who bulls ahead
onto a railroad crossing without looking
or listening. the one who is always on
The wrong side of the road. his brother
who hates to be passed so badly that he
crowds over on the wrong side when he
hears n horn behind him, and the one
who tries to pass on bad curve How
can they be lessened in number? There's
! problem in law-making of far greater
! Importance than the open season on any
| kind of animal or the length Of fish to be
