FOR "HOGGING THE ROAD"

West Hartford, Jan. 25.--What is

Cured in the West Hartford town
court last night when Joseph Rago
Of Hartford, driver for the Atlantic
Refining company, was found guilty
and fined $40 and costs, amounting to
s2S.50. An appeal Was taken by his
lawyer, Attorney Phillip Roberts. A
second count of evading responsible

Evidence showed that last Friday
evening Rago, driving truck, got
end of the Stanley street trolley line,
New Britain, and refused to move to
the right to let vehicles from the
rear pass. Witnesses declared that

was impossible to attempt to pass, as
Rago refused to heed the signal
horns. At Corbin's corner. Carl Bar

The accused denied knowledge Of
the accident and likewise denied in
tentionally holding up traffic. Judge |
Collins accepted his first denial as
plausible. since it was the rear of
his heavy truck that hit the sedan. |
He declared, however. there is no ex-

road" especially at night. he said. |

they certainly can see the lights from
cars in the rear. Moreover. the court

DUE To GLACIERS
Professors Explanation of Rich
ness of Midwest Soil.
lieved to Have Been Protected
From the Ice Floes.

Farmers living in the fertile valley
of the Middle West may attribute their
rich crop yields, fat swine and excel
lent butter to the fact that more than
$4,000 years ago their acres were COW
cred with ice, says an Associated Press
dispatch from Chicago.
This is the gist of the finding of Prof.
William II. Haas Of the geology de-
partment of Northwestern university,
who has made study of the subject,
concerning his observations upon Ohio.
Comparing the glaciated section of
the continent and the driftless area
Professor Haas found that the soils in
the two differed. In the glaciated land
the soils are more diversified and of
better quality. he states
"With this asset it is little wonder
that the farmer living in the zone which
aeons ago had been covered with ice,
should find himself better off than his
brother of the driftless area" says
Professor Haas "This area covers
some 10000 square miles and embraces
northwestern Illinois, small part of
Iowa, southwestern Wisconsin, and
Minnesota"
The geologist, in explaining the ac-
ton of the ice and why that portion of
the earth's surface touched by it should
yield to man an abundance OF crops,
said that the pressure exerted by the
glaciers $4,000 years ago crushed the
rocks and mixed the dirt as they rolled
southwark; hence the many soils.
'It Is remarkable" said Professor
Haas, speaking of Ohio, "to notice
how, suddenly, the tall corn will end
and be neighbored by stunted stalks
and shriveled ears.
"All this Is on account Of the fact
that hundreds of centuries ago some
rocks Of particular hardness, able to
Withstand the onward sweep of the
ice fields from the North, detected the
fields, thus leaving the area which the
That, in my opinion at least, accounts
for those 10000 square miles of COM
paratively poor SOIL or, as we geol-
ogists say, the driftless area"
Professor Haas stated that the de-
marcation between the healthy grain
and the sickly, stunted grain was so
distinct as to form a welldefined line
showing the boundary between the
glaciated and non-glaciated land.
Professor Haas explained that many
authorities do not hold to this view,
protesting themselves unable to ac-
oovnt for tho driftlacs oraa others he
said, went so far as to question the
existence of the so-called driftless area.
The Northwestern professor declared
that the glaciers accomplished three
great effects: they cut down the hills
and filled in the valleys; they ground
up the boulders, and, thirdly, mixed
| the rocks.

Rare Violins Loaned
Young Scotch Genius

London-Two wonderful violins are
to be heard in London shortly. One
is a Stradivarius and the other Jo-
seph Guarnerius.- Each is valued at
f5,25O.
They are the property of r. d. Wad-
dell of Glasgow, a collector of violins.
He has lent them to the Glasgow
youth, William Primrose who has
been hailed by such authorities as Sir
Landon Ronald and Mischa Elman as
a violinist of genius.
Both fiddles are now in London, and
special measures are being taken to
safeguard them. 1t was in the shop
Of John Belts in the city of London
that the Strad changed hands 100
years ago for modest guinea. A
man entered the shop and laying a
fiddle on the counter asked for a
guinea. Mr.. Belts at once paid the
sum. .Afterward he found that it was
a genuine Stradivarius. George Hart
bought 1t in 1878 for $500 and in 1886
sold it for f1,2O0. In 1898 f1,90O was
paid for it, and today it is worth
f5,25O.
The "Leduc" Joseph Guarnerius
came to Mr.. Wadde1l indirectly
through Signor Nicolini, Nine. PATHS
second husband. 1t is considered to
possess the grandest tone of almost
any fiddle in existence.

CONCERNING THE WRIT

When Mayor Cadien stopped the
Hudson Heights and the installation
of the new heating plant in School No
3 by serving a writ of certiorari on
the School Board he no doubt had
some reason for doing so. Just what
that reason was is a question which
is as yet unsettled.
One member of the board is firm in
his conviction that it was a political
move pure and simple and the MAORI,
ty of the board do not mince words in
condemning the mayors action as be-
ing Outrageous" The Hudson Dis
patch on Saturday last suggested that
the mayor might be firing the first
shot in the coming mayoralty cam
paign and his writ was directed per
sonally against Judge Kenny, the at
torney for the School Board; then the
plans of Architect Sibley enter into
the discussion also.
On the other hand, the mayor him
self denies there is any personal, self
ish or political motive behind the act
and is courageous in assuming the en-
tire responsibility for the writ and re-
sents the insinuation that "he and his
friends perpetrated 1t.
To the School Board it is an. out
rage, to the mayor it is justified
action. So, as in every controversy,
there are two sides both worthy of
consideration.
In our opinion, it is unfortunate.
That's the word which describes it.
Unfortunate that the progress of the
boards plans has been brought to a
standstill unfortunate the lack of CO.
operation and dissention between bor-
ough factions makes such a situation
possible.
Mr.. Vesey's suggestion that more Co
operation is needed in Cliffside Park
is a good one which, if adopted and
followed, would lead to the proper
solution of many problems that face
the borough today.
