 Cream and Sugar.
 Tn connection with these experi- ments," says Professor Prescott, "in which groups have been used to check up the results obtained by the single observer in tho laboratory, 1t Is interesting to note the much greater sharpness with which the opinions are arrived at when cream and sugar are added to the coffee, as compared with the results in the black coffee. This is undoubtedly duo to the fact that the great majority of individuals are accustomed 10 a coffee containing cream or milk and sugar, and that their taste Is therefore more trained to distinguish differences than when coffee containing neither cream or sugar is employed. In both cases, however, the results are in strong ac- cord, and if not entirely convincing to all, will at least prove to be sugges- tive, I think, Of certain possibilities in the improvement of coffee making throughout the country

sentiment in favor of Thomas J Spellacy of Hartford, to head the ticket. Friends of Mayor David FitzGerald of New Haven, worked industriously through the evening ir his interests.
 If Spellacy is nominated, it is gen. orally conceded that the nomination for United States Senator which is sought by Augustine Lonergan, must the other hand, if FitzGerald is the nominee, Lonergan will undoubtedly have the senatorial nomination, it was agreed.
 Likewise. if the gubernatorial can- didate is Hartford man party workers agree that it would be prac- tical politics to give the congressional nomination to either a New Britain or Bristol candidate. Joseph M Dutton of Bristol having run two years ago, and New Britain being without the nomination for 80 years there was an expressed feeling in cer- tain quarters that the honor should come here.
 There was tatk of several Hartford candidates for congress and it was not considered unlikely that the Septem- Der convention would develop a Holt Corbett- Purcell contest. In that event, the strength of any one can- didate would be affected to such an extent as to benefit a local candidate
 A severe arraignment Of the repub- lican party and a general outline of what the democratic party favors in domestic affairs and international re- lations was given by Senator Hull.
 "The present day republican party under the blind reactionary leadership that is now in charge of the govern ment has wholly failed to meet the expectations of the people" Chairman Hull declared. since the November elections of 1920 the American people have suffered industrial panic losses of more than forty billion dollars. The democratic party was entrusted with power in 1912, and until the latter part of 1916, when abnormal war conditions swept over the coun- try the administrations of Washington or Jefferson or Lincoln could not have been crowned with more marvellous achievements than that of Woodrow Wilson"
 Chairman Hull attacked the record of the republican congresses since March 1919 declaring it's policy had been to put Wilson in a hole As a result he said, President Harding took office without any policy foreign or domestic.

Had the department been permitted by Congress to purchase land and erect it's own building, the whole transac- ton could have been handled for about sS,O00,0oo, MT.

 system Is Wrong.
 'The whole system is radically wrong and should be changed at once" the Assistant Postmaster Gen. eral said. Each year Congress should set aside a certain sum to be used in the construction of buildings and gradually as leases expire all over the country the department would find itself the possessor of system of splendid structures. This method would result in the saving of millions of dollars to the public. In many instances the government is made to pay exorbitant rent. For in- stance the department will lease building in small community for ten years, and because of the post office site property in it's vicinity will increase in value, the population of the town may increase tenfold, and when the lease expires, the owner of the property very frequently demands about three or four times the orig

 Opposes Action.
 MT. Bartlett said he. opposed the actloA of the Joint Postal Commis- slon In recommending the lease of the New York building. The commission felt, however, it was said, that Con- eress would likely oppose such a move at this time and suggested that Tn view of congested conditions in the metropolis lease be negotiated.
 Tn this instance" Mir. Bartlett said, the owners of the land and those who will erect the new building Which is to be used as an annex to the present postoffice building, will be obliged to pay taxes, borrow money at the rate possibly of per cent, and meet other conditions which of course would not have to be ob served by the government.
