In a general way the ordinary pleas
ure car was increased 80 per cent and
the commercial vehicle, 100 per cent.
The motor vehicle department will,
therefore, on its collection. II the per
ceatages as stated hold good. collect
in excess of S3,5o0, 900, TO be turned
over to the highway department. The
highway commissioner does not know
at the beginning of the year, now
much money he is going to have and
consequently his policy will necessar-
ily be to expend moneys received dur
ing the first part of the year on main
tenance of roads and leave reeonstruc-
ton until the money Is III sight. IL Is
safe to say. however. that there will
be money enough during 1922 and
1928 raised out of the schedules Of
fees so that both the maintenance of
roads and some reconstruction can bc
made IN another legislature il is
just that the money raised by the law
placing fuel en taxes should bee TAX
en- out of the general funds and be- de-
voted to the roads because it comes
directly from motor vehicles. If this
should happen il means that the fee
schedules can be reduced. The facts
show that the state of Connecticut was
i'm 1920 confronted with a situation
due partly to excessive wear and tear
and partly to the effects Of war poll
cies. whereby the roads were in an
emergency.
The highway system referred TO has
recently been appraised b. the comp
troller's Office as worth SD, 900 goo to
the state. The advanced fees and fue
tax and the solution by the last legis.
lature are in the nature of an emer
gency measure and in direct accord
with the best policies of economy &c

1000 Miles of Trunk Lines

In Connecticut, there are 1000
miles of trunk line highways Out of
this. $50 miles are roads built from
time 70 time during the last = years,
ard out Of the $50 miles, 500 miles
are in need Of immediate reeenstrue-
ton. Il Is a fact that roads built as
long ago as some portions of the $50
miles referred to are absolutely I'M
suitable both in foundation and sur
facing rs permanent highways for the
carrying of modern traffic. The mod
ern use Of these roads in volume,
weight and speed OF traffic is far in
excess Of anything for which they
were ever intended. Conditions have
changed 50 rapidly and traffic has IN
creased by such leaps and bounds that
they are no longer adequate. The fu-
ture road building policy of the state
must therefore be predieated upon
modern requirements of tremendous
traffic. This means that many miles of
roads which are in Immediate need of
rebuilding. must be built shortly or
else there must be waste Of the
states money in replacing extraordi-
nary wear and tear instead of expen-
diture on permanently

these fees through the motor vehicle
department 10 the treasarer's Office

t.sl collection is credited fet use on

eastern state today, and Connecticut
Is no exception. The automobile has

regulation is concerned.
The Fundamental of the automobile

statement: The automobile, which To-
day uses the highways. should pay the
cost of the highways. If the automo-
bile rider cares little or nothing about
the condition of the roads, very well.
II he would have good roads he must
pay for them. The people as whole,
who do not participate. should not be

believe the highway proposition should
be taken care of entirely by direct
taxation. II this is the case, where
will this tax be placed? Il is a peril

The Daily FUN Hour
SHOAL HERRING


Nearly all games in which the char
acters are fish came from sea-ports
Shoal Herring is a Scandinavian
game which originated on the coasts
of the fiords of Norway and Sweden.
One player is counted out to be Lone
Herring. He goes away and hides,
while the others blind their eyes and
count up to one hundred. Then they
coil in "hoyns, Lone Herring Hun
dred!" and go to seek the hidden
player.
This game differs from all other
forms of hide-and-seek in that the
seekers do not tag or capture the "It
when they spy him. Instead, each
looks about to see that he is not
watched, and then he hides with the
Lone Herring. Other players, one
by one do the same, until nearly all
are crowded into "Shoal Herring"
If there is no more room in the Shoal.
the players hide in near by places.
The last seekers have the worst of it,
as the Lone Herring is completely
concealed from their view by the
players in the Shoal. The first finder
becomes Lone Herring for the next
game.
Shoal Herring can be played out
of doors or in. 1t is a very popular
house party game. In one variation
the Lone Herring leaves a trail, call
ed the Herring Trail, made of scraps
of paper. But as he can stop the trail
at any point, and hide himself far
from the trails end, the device is
more calculated to mislead the seek
ers than to guide them to the hiding
place.

"Whoo-oo-oo!" the wind roared at

Tickety-tap! Tickety-tap! Hard
snow pelted them in the face.
"Old Man Winter is here" cried
Dame Instinct.
ooh, the snow is so deep we can't
walk in it." cried Janet.
"Hoighty-toighty, that's easily fix

Jack and Janet smartly on the head
while she repeated strange words.
"Biggety, biggety, big. Grow as

When she reached her home she
showed her little dog to her mother
and her mother gave Polly q pan
of milk. She took the pan of milk
out and set it by her flower-pot.
The dog sat down beside his pan
of milk, because there was frog
and a cat near by. He did not
want the frog or the cat to Have
any of his milk, so he .sat for a
long time, watching the frog and
the cat.
After awhile the dog chased the
frog away, and while he was chas-
ing the frog, the cat came from be-
hind the flower-pot and drank all
Of Polly's little dogs milk. When
the dog came back from chasing
the frog, to drink his milk, 1t was
all gone. He sat down to think
where his milk had gone. After
awhile he looked around and what
do you think he saw? Why, there
was Pussy licking her paws, and.
then he knew who had drank his
milk
He went away, whining, and
when Poly saw that the milk was
all gone, she took his pan and went
into the house, and got some more.

Old Time Days and Ways

turage, and milk soon came to form
a very important article of diet.
Plain but substantial breakfasts
and dinners of solid food were al
ways provided; but in most houses
the suppers, not teas, were of milk
with bread or hominy, mush, or
hulled corn, or boiled wheat, eaten
from wooden bowls or pewter por-
ringers.
But whatever the meal CHANGED
to be, any neighbor or friend who
happened to call was asked to sit
by and made welcome to a share.
Everybody was hospitable and be-
nevolent, and all were as generous
in caring for others as they were
shrewd in looking out for them
selves. II any man was sick, his
neighbors did his planting or har-
vesting, taking good care to have
1t done in season. Besides, in clear
ing land and erecting buildings
every man, even those in most
prosperous circumstances, were
forced, sooner or later, to ask for
help. No one willingly refused an
invitation to log-piling, raising, or
other bee" These were the house
wife's great days. IL her towns
men took pleasure in coming to
help her husband; she took both
pleasure and pride in giving them
a good dinner when the work was
done.
AS soon as the invitations to a
bee were out. the girls and matrons
in the vicinity dropped in one by
one, with offers of assistance in the
house, cooking utensils and the use
of the oven. The day of the bee as
well as the day before, was as busy
a one in doors as out. A row of
pots hung bubbling on the crane,
the great oven was heated again
and again, and, If II was very
great occasion, pots of beans and
pudding were sent to other houses

Beautiful Indian Drum

The Iowa tribe of Indians used
as part of their spirit dance a
beautiful drum. 1t was made of
deerskin and from the edges were
hung handsome furs from the otter
and the beaver and 100 silver dol
lars, the latter probably secured
from white traders, for at that
time the Indians who possessed the
drum lived on the border land Of
the Indian country and the pioneer
settlements.
