 Illustration of what the Traffic bu- reau managers will contend for may De gathered from the following ex- amples:
 Rate from Cairo to Birmingham. Present rate is $1.52; carriers propose s1.45; traffic managers propose s1.2o. Rate from St. Louis to Birmingham Present rate is S2; carriers propose s1T5: traffic managers propose $l.o3.
 Rate from Cairo. to Sylaeauga: Present rate s1.65; carriers propose s1.57; traffic managers propose s1.Ss.
 All Alabama points are covered in this manner, the entire state being protected in the schedule to be pre- sented by the traffic managers.
 The traffic managers will ask that the recent percentage of rate reduc- tions apply to the proposed base rates: which were formulated prior to the reductions.

MOTHER AND DoeEoR
 TESTIFY IN AUTO SUIT

In the $5,0o0 damage suit against Richard Pugh of New London over the injury to Robert William White, alias AndriolaS of Groton, who was struck by the Pugh automobile in Groton March 29, 1919, Mrs. Anna W. Andriola, moth- CT of the boy, was on the witness stand in the superior court here Wednesday for about three hours in direct and cross ex- animation She followed the conclusion of testimony by Dr. Frank E. Hewes, of Groton
 Mrs. Andrialo gave testimony as to the boys condition, mentally and physically, before and after the accident, his in- juries, the care she had given him and the doctors she had taken him to.
 Dr. c. c. GildersIeeve of Norwich fol- lowed Mrs. Andriola on the stand. He testified to examining the Adriola boy last Monday at his office. The doctor said he found the scars of two wounds on the boys head which he pointed out to the court on the boys forehead and chin. No depression of the bone was found. in the doctors opinion. The boy is extremely nervous, the doctor testi- fled, and by the tests which the doc tor gave the boy, the doctor said the boy showed the mentality of a child of 6 or years old. The boy could not tell connected story, the doctor said. would tell one thing one. minute and completely reverse himself the next, and seemed to have no power of concentra- tion.
 Upon the basis of hypothetical ques- tion intended to cover the evidence in the case, DT. Gildersleeve said a blow in the head would account for the boys present mental condition. In the doc tors opinion, this condition will be per- manent. The doctor said he believed the boy had had concussion of the brain.
 L. M. Crandall of this city, district manager for a life insurance company and conducting business school in Nor wich, was called to. the stand and asked to produce the tables of expectancy of life which are in use by insurance com panies. -,
 Attorney Keefe interposed objection and Judge Marvin stated that he would rule in the morning on the admissibili- ty of allowing Mir. Crandall to testify what the mortality tables showed the life expectancy of boy of about 6 years and few months would be.

About $70e worth Of jewelry was stol- en some time early Wednesday morning from the window of the store Of John and George H. Bliss. 126 Main street. by a burglar or burglars who broke out side panel of the window.
 The jewelry taken included the follow ing. according to the report made to the police: One Is karat white gold ring watch, eight If karat gold bracelet watches, four pair of platinum cuff links, four pair of gold cuff links, four platin- um and diamond brooches, and eight bar pins.
 Officer My-on O. Morgan, who was on the beat Tuesday night, reported that he looked at the Bliss jewelry window at 145 a. m. Wednesday and it was all right at that time. Officer Frank Hen derson reported that he also looked at the store at S.45 a. m. as he was coming along Main street to report off duty and he saw nothing wrong then.
 The burglary was discovered about o'clock by a man named Sullivan who saw a stick with a big nail in it in the front doorway of the store, which at tracted his attention to the broken win dow. He told Fireman Brennan who
 notified Officer Charles McFadden, through whom report was made to po-
 lice headquarters from where an investi- gation was started at once. ' In the opinion of the police the burg lary had the marks of professionals work who had studied out-the location figured the time when they would be 1 least likely to be interrupted and went to work in the quickest way possible to
 get a limited amount of plunder out of the windows. Besides the jewelry that was taken, there was silverware in sets and other bulky articles in the window i but these were not touched, probably because they were too cumbersome.
