They have led the fight for humanity, for human rights, for the uplifting of men, women and children They have done this, even when it meant asking the people to overrule Con- gross and the Supreme Court.

 ''I ask whether the board ordered the directorate Of the Pennsylvania Railroad dissolved and a new and amenable board created when that railroad refused to obey the orders of the board? Of course 1t did not, nor will 1t in any other such case. The Railroad Labor Board is seeking to perpetuate what 1t believes to be the existing dominant economic con dition. But the board is mistaken in it's analysis of modern trends and fundamentals. It would have been as equally fitting, and equally as ridiculous for the board to order the dissolution of railroad directorates where such directorates refuse to obey the orders of the board.

CONNECTICUT PAID $2,O59,5l9 TAXES
 TO GOVERNMENT
Means $I.46 From Every Person and $I.o6 on Each $I,ooo
 Property.

Washington, July I4.-The U. s. Census Bureau made public statistics this week showing the rate of taxa ton in the several states of the United States and the portion derived in each state by direct levy on real and personal property.
 The report shows that in Connecti- cut for the year ending June 30, 1921, $2.o5o,5Io was raised by taxes on real and personal property, which amounts to $40 for every person in the state and $I.o6 on every $I ,ooo of property, By other special taxes, such as those on corporations, insurance companies and savings banks, Connecticut raised an additional :$7,338,57o, which amounts to S5.2I for each person in necticut by taxation, the report
 About New England Averages.
 This amount is about the average for the New England states, al though the direct tax on real and personal property Is much lower than in most states. The taxation laws in Connecticut are so drawn as to hit the corporations principally.
 Ii Is interesting to compare the rate in Connecticut and other north ern states with those in the south. The report shows that Georgians pay S3.47 apiece to support their state In Florida they pay S3.27, in Missis- sippi, $1.55; North Carolina, $40; South Carolina, S3.25, in Virginia, $3o2; and in Alabama, $2.33.
 It does not seem surprising, Tn view of these figures, that these demo cratic states are working to have the federal government furnish funds for the maintenance of schools and the building of roads. The people of Connecticut and most of the northern states pay three and four times as much to support their state governments as do the southerners and consequently have better roads and better schools. If favorable action can be secured on bills now before Congress providing for the giving of federal aid to state schools and to states for road building, the southern states will be able to improve their schools and their roads at the ex- pense of the northern states.

BLAME MOTORMAN AGAIN.

The public utilities commission through Engineer Wadhams adds it's plaint to the blame of a motorman of one-man car which ran amuck and down hill on Sunday, June IS, resulting in the injury of several per sons two of whom are yet under medical care The accident was due to the failure of human agencies to perform duties prescribed,' says Mr. Wadhams. He adds:
 "There seems to be an impression that the accident was due to the type of car involved, viz: The Birney safety car, which is operated by one man. My investigation convinces me that the absence of an additional man on the car whose duty is to col lect revenue, would not have prevent ed the accident.
 "In my opinion this accident was due to the failure of human agencies in performing prescribed duties. When Operator William F. Moore first noticed that his air gauge show ed an insufficient pressure for proper ly operating his car, he should have immediately set his hand brake and made an inspection to determine the cause of the loss of air before pro- ceeding with his car, Failing to do this, after his car had started to move, he had at hand two other means of stopping the car, either by using the hand brake or the reverse, both of which, as stated, he failed to put into

Meriden, July 14.-The new factory of the New Departure Company of Bristol will be open and in operation early this fall according to a vote taken by the board of directors of the company early, this week.

The reason for poor salesmanship

ficial thinking about distribution
Automobile manufacturers have had

the existing companies show real
foresight in distribution. All the
companies make their selling hard
work because they don't start from
the fundamental comprehension of
what should be sold. They have
been striving against each other to
sell goods: whereas they should have
worked primarily to sell the ideas of
motor travel, transport, and traction.
In my opinion the automobile ad

first establishes and which main

and puts facts of quality. implied but

Generally speaking. service in the

OWNING ROD IS
THING To LOCATE
KNOCK N ENGINE

Use the divining rod method I'd To-
cate knock or other foreign noise
in your engine.
It's the way automobile motors are
tested in the factories before they are
passed on for shipment.
The diyining rod used is none other
than the gear shifting lever. BY its
use inspectors can tell whether a new
motor is out of perfect tune 1t car
ries the sounds of all parts of the
engine to the inspectors ear, and il
there is anything wrong in it's oper-
alton the inspector knows 1t.
Trained Ear
In room full of running motors
an inspector can detect any unusual
sound IN a single engine by putting
his ear to the tip of the gear shifting
lever That's because he knows the
note Of perfect motor.
Besides, each particular kind of
unusual sound will tell the inspector
exactly where it comes from. His
ears are trained to distinguish such
sounds and locate them.
But for those whose ears aren't as
keen as the motor inspectors, there
is another kind of divining rod. 1t is
a piece of a broomstick or other
wood. Or it may be long screw
urlVer.
With this simple divining rod for
eign noises can be, detected not only
in the engine but in any other moving
part of the automobile. The method
of application is simple.
Simple Use
Place one end of the rod against
the part which Is suspected OF man
ing the unusual noise. Then put the
free end in the crook Of the thumb
and the thumb knuckle against your
ear drum.
IT the part runs smoothly and
nothing is wrong with it, a regular
hum will be heard. Otherwise the /
hum will be interrupted by knock |
or other strange sound.
In this way any fault in the run
ming of the automobile can be located |
by moving the divining rod from one
position to another. Sometimes To- |
cation of a fault is more difficult |
than its correction after it is found. |

ANCIENT CANELS
|0F ARIZONA ARE
CALLED To MIND.

How many motorists, as they tour
comfortably across the continent. are
aware of the fact that not so many
years ago it was believed that camels
afforded the only solution of the
transportation problem in the great
southwest?
Camels actually were imported by
the government. shortly before the
Civil war, and sent into the then
largely unexplored and arid regions
OF the southwest, says a statement
issued by the Chandler Motor Car
company.
Along the Santa Fe trail and the
Bankhead highway, where camels
might today be one of the native
curiosities IL the governments ex-
periments had not been interrupted
by civil strife, the Chandler car,
whose powerful motor makes it es-
peclally efficacious in sandy roads
and on hills. Is familiar sight.
In the years 1857 and 1853 two
nerds, each numbering about 80
camels, were imported by the war de-
partment, one from Algeria and the
other from Arabia.
Several expeditions were made
over the region now known as the
states OF Arizona and New Mexico,
noTseS ana mules as We'll as camelS
being used. Some of the horses and
mules perished and the others were
practically exhausted, but the camels
showed no Ill effects after travelling
several hundred miles.
When the efforts to acclimatize the
camels were interrupted by the Civil
war the war department turned the
animals loose, and either through
natural death or at the hands of
Indians they were eventually wiped
out.
Much OF what was then arid terri
tory has been transformed into YER
