WOMEN MOTORISTS

Interesting estimates based on au- tomobile records. show that about II
 per cent of the drivers of cars in this state are women. while in only SC
 per cent of the accidents women driv- CTS are involved. So it is evident, if these estimates are correct, that wom- en are about twice as fortunate as
 men when it comes to the matter of accidents.
 This fact however, does not mean necessarily that women are twice as careful in their driving as men. Nor does it mean that a state would be better off in the matter of accidents, if all the licensed drivers were women. There is no. question but that men, driving a car. become extremely eau tious when approaching or passing a car operated by a woman. This is not due to chivalry always but to a desire to play safe" It is a belief pftNdlenl aHiols illtH NhO dliNe 1ai . that women are inclined to take up more of the road than are men. They hesitate to drive rapidly when fast driving is advisable. They are, in other words, too careful very often.
 But despite these, more or less justi- fled criticims Of women, the conviction exists that women are often more capable drivers than men, and tho guess may be hazarded that the num- ber Of women driver in this state win increase under the influence of the new freedom granted them everywhere In the west, il is believed, the percent ago Of women drivers is greater than in Connecticut, for in the West the women are more accustomed to hold the rcins" in phases of life other than driving cars.

COLLEGES SOLVE "KNOTS"
 TO AID THE FARMERS
Experiments Iia,c Helped the More Scientific of the Agricultural
 Workers in Daily Tasks

Boston, Dec. 5.-The agricultural experiment stations at the University of New Hampshire and Rhode Island State College have solved two prob lems which have puzzled the scientific farmer. At the former investigations have been in progress to learn the contrary actions on different plants from the use Of bordeaux mixture. A combination Of copper and lime. This has been used universally to prevent plant disease.
 Experiments have disclosed benefi- cial results in darker foliage. es- pecially that in very dry soil. which vas found to be helped by shade. The mixture when sprayed forms a film on the plants and the more lime used in it the less transparent 1t becomes to the solar spectrum. On the other hand. the mixture, while unquestion- ably preventing the plant diseases for which it is used, was found 10 be in jurious to the health Of some other plants which resuire more light and sun.
 The station at Rhode Island State College has revised the gospel of lime. earnestly preached ss a corrective for acid soils. by adding the injunc- ton to use acid phosphate with it. This. it has been found. will com pletely eliminate the soluble slumin- Um in the soil which poisons plants. The combination Of lime and acid phosphate has proved better than either alone.

THE STATES BLIND

Often movements calculated to make more easy the path Of the blind people in this state are given little support because those who have sight. happiness, prosperity, declare that" there are mighty few Of them. 70 There is no denying that this is SO. The state has 4 population or pr0bs- bIy million and a halT There are thirteen hundred blind people in the state. according to estimate derived from figures Of the state board Of ed- ucation for the blind. So the comment 'thcre are few blind persons to con- sider' Is justified.
 But imagine a smal town Of some 500 persons. Imagine one blind per son in that town. Is there any question but that the 500 would take care of that one blind person? There is no movement on foot at the present time as far as we are advised. to carry far ther the efforts that the state is nak- ing to give more comfort enjoyment of life. and a chance to become con- structive workers. to the blind of the state. But the situation is here em- pbasized in order 10 remind people that what the state is doing in it's ar engagements for ss>ehing the bind in

cooLIDGE's BACKGROUND

Out in South Dakota the Repuhi. can Proposal Convention showed
 plainly its preference for President Coolidge over Senator Hiram Johnson. It was good judgment Now that this attitude has been taken the question naturally arises upon what did South Dakota base it's decision? Without in any way casting reflections upon President Coolidge. and without inc timating that he would not make the most worthy Of presidents. one may wonder just a bit as to the reasons for this preference, meanwhile agree ing with fl thoroughly.
 Senator Johnson vas referred to in the nominating speech as the great man from tho Far West" He has done nothing especially great" his possibilities for greatness being seen only in the strength Of his advocacy Of something different" Grant that he has ability. winning personality an army of friends. What has he done that entities him to the characteriza- ton of 'grcatness?" And, note this. he is "frOm the Far West" only com paratiyely recently. in a private letter. he admitted a loss Of strength which he attributed Co making friends Of his former enemies and enemies Of his former friends
 And then the question comes what has President Coolidge done 10 bring him the favor Of South Dakota ? Again it is emphasized that this question is asked without criticism of tho Presi- dent. There would serm to toe little to criticize: there would srem 10 be little 10 praise. Unlike Senator John son he has kept silent when most men would have spoken. On inc eve Of his message to Congress the people do not know absolutely his position upon any really important matter. Perhaps he has been well advised in assuming this stand: perhaps not. The point is that he has kept still. offering nothing upon which grounds for criticism may bebassd; offering nothing that would inspire a desire to praisp. The Bos- ton police strike is often referred to ss g matter that vas settled by the strong hand of Calvin Cooidge. then governor. But many know that it was moi until action had been taken by others that the governor gave the moral support of his position. AS vice. president he made few friends. Neces- sarily he had little chance Co display any qualities Of leadership And yet the Republicans Of south Dakota have expressed their preference for him over the great man Of the Far West
 Admitting that there may De in the feIings Of New Englanders a prejudice in favor Of New England over the Tar west" the conviction comes that Pres ident Cooiidge's bacl.gr0und-the sim pie farm of New England-gfves him in the sBBc0nscious if not the conscious mind. eFen of Republic cans nf South Dakota.

today. The stand of President Cool idgc on great questions might prove most unpopular with South Dakota republicans. Yet they have wagerea that they will not. They have banked on President CooIidge's background, to trust our affairs to a man of New England rather to man of the far west"
 This. of course, is a sidelight on the situation. but to a man of New Eng land it appeals.

ZONING IDEA FAVORED

The satisfactory news of the pro- gression of the idea of zoning the city is that the subcommittee of the city plan commission, after a study Of the idea, has recommended to the city plan commission that the work be done. The idea has the hearty ap- proval of the committee Of our own citizens which has looked into the re- suits obtained under it in other cities, and, by its recommendation. declares that New Britain should have the benefit of this progressive move.
 When any new plan is suggested in regard to city affairs, there is at once a feeling that perhaps someone is try ing to put something over" And the usual opposition to any change ap- pears. Things have gone on very well without zoning, some say; why not leave things as they are?
 In answer to the last question it is io be remembered that one of the best known zontng experts in the country declared in this city recently that when a city has a population of 6O,- GOO, as New Britain has, the obiec- tionable features which zoning pre- vents, begin to come. When a city grows from 60,oo0 10 100000. which is the expected growth of New Britain in the next quarter of a century. il begins to change in its physical as- peet. IT there is no system 10 such growth. the city will not receive the full benefits Of that growth. but will be marred, materially and artistically, by a lack oG plan.
 People recognize, also immediately, that zoning would add 10 city's at- tructiveness IT this were all zoning would do there might be less reason than there is for earnest advocacy Of it The citys "attractiveness' in only :, one of the considerations. The value of property in the city, the efficiency of the city, these are the main objects | Of zoninE. No man or organization l. will lose anything. On the contrary | they will gain. There will come a feeling of security in what man l possesses that will relieve anxiety as to any possibility of a deterioration of the neighborhood in which his . property is located.
 There is one point above all others l that must be emphasized at this time 1 when it looks as though WIG would . have the city zoned. The ordinance 1 must be made elastic enough to allow ! amendment if it is found, at any time, . that unforeseen demands make it wise 1 to allow fo- an extension of any dis trict industrial, business or residen- l tisl There must be no possibility of | curtailing expansion, especially of the industrial plants which have made New Britain what it is. Individual | property will be protected. but more ! important still will be the safeguard ! ing Of the rights of the manufactur | CTS to expand when the time comes for expansion. This is so for the req son that the residential and business districts Of the city would be less at- trsctive and smaller sources Of pros perity, were 1t not for the industries which must be given consideration. The zoning ordinance must .be made elastic. so that it may be changed at any time to meet changed conditions.

Public Playspaces.

the public Is assured Of the fullest
use of the bathing beach, public golf
links, tennis courts and grounds for
other sports. Col. Sheriff., superin-
tendent OF public buildings and

recreation spaces come, stands for the
concession plan. Senator Jones Of
Washington, q member Of the Senate
District committee, favors direct gov.
ernment management, and is reported
as saying: 81 believe that Congress
should authorize the Office Of superin-
tendent OF public buildings and
grounds to fix all the fees to be
charged for playing golf. tennis, ETC..
and to use the moneys so received for
the upkeep Of the links. courts and
beaches. II 1t is found that the fees
paid aggregate more than is needed
for. maintenance and operation the
charges to the public should be re-

The Two-Dollar Bill.

It is reported that the Treasury
Department may discontinue the print
ing Of two-dollar bills. One of the rea-
sons given Is that the secret serv-
ice has observed that 1t Is the most
favored Of notes with bill-raisers.
Why and how a two-dollar bill lends
itself more to bill.raisers than "one,"
accepts the facts as set forth in the
published announcement. It may be
said that there Is objection to the
two-dollar bill, and also that there is
no objection to it. Nearly everybody
is glad to get one. and would much
rather have a 1.-TWO" than "one." 1t
may be that many persons would
rather have two "ones' than a two"
Once in possession of q two" its
owner thinks that he may spend It
for "one," and tries to keep on
guard against making such a mistake.
It would seem that such a mistake Is
often made. 1t is not likely that tears
will be shed over the announcement
that no more "twos" may be printed.
If the "ones." "fives," "tens' and
"twentys" are in sufficient number
the country will forgive the Treasury
for abandoning the "twos." The bill
has been the object Of much adverse
criticism, not because it was a two"
but because it was so often spent as
a "one."
