The Ice Age

The Glacial Epoch, w h c n
most of the world was ice,
passed thousands of years ago.
But the Ice Age, when every
thing is iced, is now at its
height. The morning grape
fruit is served iced II the
bacon comes from the icez
box fresh and ready to brown
into crisp crinkles-the cream
and golden butter are as sweet
as though just from the farm.
AT dinner, oysters appear on a
sparkling bed of ice. Ice has
made the salad as crisp as Ice
land, and the gelatine like ice
cream. And Ice is there to
take care of the cold turkey
or roast for another day.

NEW RED BIRD
HAS LONGER
WHEEL BASE
New Model Painted Mandalay
Maroon Will Add to Glow
ing Achievements of the
Willys-Overland.

A roomier body. wide deep seat
cushions, a wheel base of LOG inches
and spring base of 1876 inches ar.
features in the new Overland Red
Bird that set it apart from the usual
so-called sport model. As a matter
of fact the WHY'S Owe rland company
has radically departed from the
stereotyped design OF the speedy,
fleet lined touring car by furnishing
plenty If room for comfortable rid
ing on all roads.
This distinctive quality in this
class of automobile Is specially en-
phasized by the heightened wheel and
spring base. The wiIeel base is 1O6
inches while the spring base of 1876
inches on the celebrated patented
triplex springs makes easy riding
doubly apparent and appealing to
those discriminating people who want
graceful lines concurrent with pleas
ant agreeable riding qualities.
In connection with the unique
method used by Overland engineers
in mounting the springs of the Red
Bird there is much to be said. These
springs extend from the extreme
front end of the car down to the
front axle and are continually pull
ing the front wheels over any and all
distractions in the road The pic
ture of a man vainly trying to push
a wheelbarrow up over curbstone
and finally turning the barrow around
and pulling it over the curb, with
ease, illustrates the triplex spring
principle.
In the rear of the car conditions
are different. The rear wheels are
the driving wheels and lift them
selves over distractions. Apart from
this matchless characteristic the new
Red Bird is powered by larger and
more powerful engine which retains
the same degree Of economical per-
Torrance that has given the Over
land motor such splendid reputa-
ton.
The car is painted an attractive
Mandalay Maroon, a color entirely
uncommon and unusually pleasing.
This shade blends harm oniously with
the nickeled radiator with bar cap.
drum head lamps, nickeled
stanchions, scuff plates
and outside door handles. Then there
is a Khaki top of durable texture,
with red bindings and wclts, while
the interior of the car is exceedingly
artistic and serviceablc in red Span
ish grained upholstering.
Among the list of complete equip
ment on the Overland Red Bird are
bumpers front and rear,
spare rim and tire carrier, dash light,
specdometer, door grips, scuff plates
and other extras that assure the own

IL is reported that the German geF' eFnment takes the stand that if France occupies Essen il will constitute a breaking of the contract of the Treaty 0f Versailles, so, of course, Germany will no longer be bound by il and may seek the sympathy Of the world as an injured nation, Moreover il is report ed that the German people stand al- most unanimously behind the govern- ment,
 The rule Of the law is that when a contract has heen broken the offend- sd parts's subsequent action is not a breach, Germany has broken that contract over and over. She has brok- en il in failing to meet her payments. in exporting gold. in hiding her wealth, Frances action. provided she does advance, will not justify dsrmany's stand, Moreover Germany will get little of the worlds sympathy lf she stands on that ground. Nations may disappreye Frances action, if it is taken. as nnwise and unnecessary, hut no voice will be raised outside Of Germany to say that France has no justification.
 Ii now deyelopes that France was fully informed Of the willingness Of the United States to participate in the settlement of the separations matter, There has been. apparently. more real suggestion in the 'feelers'' the United States has sent out. and which have been referred to by spokesmen for the White House. than was supposed. Frances determination. therefore. seems to have been taken advisedly- in disregard Of the expressed wish Of this country.
 It is significant. in view Of the pos sibility Of a last-minute offer by Ger many, that the German delegates to the separations commission are pur- posely delaying matters by lengthy discussion. It Is possible that there may come upon the world stage q messenger from Stinnes"-Stinnes, the man in Germany who would suf- fer more than anyone else financially if France takes possession of physical guarantees?

THE TAX QUESTION

If residents of the Belvidere section were obliged to choose between never receiving any benefit from the sewer system of the city which has been installed at cost of s1,500,o0O and receiving benefits from it at an in- crease in taxes, there is no question but that they would take the benefit and pay the taxes If the section, now in the first taxing district only, Is taken into the second district now, it is not only possible but probable that residents of that section will have the benefit of that sewer system by the time any taxes for it are paid. The whole matter resolves into the question as to whether or not the city should proceed to develop one part of itself, at the expense of another part without the formal assurance that the benefit ed portion will help defray the ex- pense of such development.
 Residents of the Belvidere section should remember that it was out of consideration for them that the sewer system was planned in way which would permit of service to that sec ton. The city could not wait for the consent of Belvidere before making its plans. It did not wait and the loop was made with service to Belvi- dere in view.
 It seemed to be the general opinion at the meeting last evening that the residents of Belvidere were willing to be included in the second taxing dis trict just as soon as that section was served. It would seem that they would realize that development of that section is delayed by the attitude as- stunned. There is a plan in the works for a fire station in that section. for frstance. With city finances in the

ILLirERAeY

\ dangerous situation is this state is shown by the statement of Robert c. Deming. State Director of Ameri. eanization, that the illiteraey among the forelgn-born steadily increased from SLIPS in 1900. to 4e.:o2 in 1910 and 10 ss.isi in 1890. the illiteracy at present being 1T per cent of their total number. The total state Hitter aey has increased from t2.9T3 in 1900 to bs.s6O in 1910 and to 67,sso in 1920. At the time of the last census Connecticut was the only state in the Union to show an increase in the per- centage of illiteracy." It is subse- quent stated by Mir. Deming that 12 states. however show an increase in the number Of illiterates.
 Mir. Deming gives the means where- by illiteracy may be reduced as the employment of trained teachers, ade- quate courses Of study. trained re- cruting agents having the confidence and sympathy of the foreign-born and. above all, time and money. The situ- ation will not change" he declares. until towns and cities desire literate communities and express that desire in practical terms"
 This emphasizing of the danger of increasing ilhteracy in this state IS necessary in order that an under standing of the importance of Amer icanization work may be obtained. It it no sentimental welfare stuff," ad- vocated only by 'reformers" and pure ly altruistic welfare workers. It IS something that must be pursued if the American ideals characteristic of this state are to be preserved. Moreover the foreign born are not to be blamed for this situation. It is not in criti- cism of them that this point is made. Many of those who are classed as "illiterate" would make splendid citi- | zens. The point Is that the chance must be given them to escape from their illiteracy and, of all the methods suggested by MT. Deming the most important of all. it would seem, would be the employment of trained recruit ing agents having the confidence of the foreign-born. Adequate courses of study will be provided when those already existing are found inadequate. Sympathetic recruiting agents are needed to make the illiterate fully un- derstand the chances that are theirs. The increasing illiteracy is a real dan ger that might be met with the CO., operation of the literate and illiterate foreign-born were the condition fully understood.

FILLING BUS GAS TANKS

The Public Utilities Commission of Connecticut would do well to follow the example of the commission in New Jersey which has adopted rule for bidding drivers of jitney busses to fill their gasoline tanks while there are passengers aboard.
 The danger of such a practice is obvious. Fire or explosion, with con- sequent death or injury, could occur without the slightest warning. There is no rule against smoking in many local busses and escaping gas could easily communicate with a lighted cigarette or cigar.
 In this case, it seems that what is good for New Jersey is also good for Connecticut.

TURNING THE LYcErM INTO AN
 arnITORfIM

The nroposition now being eonsid- cred by committee of the Chamber Of Commerce 10 recommend that the city buy the Russwin Lyeeum build' ing and convert il into a municipal auditorium is creating considerable comment about the city, much Of 1t unfavorable. some Of it otherwise.
 John C. Loomis, president Of the Chambcr Of Commerce, and treasurer of the Commercial Trust company is decidedly in favor Of the scheme. and so expresses himself, stating that it is n fine idea. that the city owns so much property in the vicinity that it would be well to own the building end en- large 1t, making it the center of com munity activity. Naturally MT, Loomis is in favor inasmuch as 1t originated fin the Chamber of Commerce, If nothing else.
 The Mayor. it seems. 1t not so con- cerned about the immediate need of turning the Lyceum into an auditori- um. believing that 1t will be too costly. There are many others who are not so anxious, for one reason or another, to see the building bought by the city.
 Should the citizens decide to buy the property. and turn it into an audi forium, no slight expense would be en- tailed It would be costly to con- struct a good auditorium on the shell of what is furnished, and when that auditorium is done the city will have little to show for it. We may, 1t is true. at d certain expense, have building where municipal meetings may be held, building that would not be an asset to the town. because of it's position, if nothing else. That is about all.
 If it is the wish of the city to build a building for memorial purposes (the memorial part of the deal has not yet been mentioned, though we suppose it will be because of the appeal of such an argument) let us go the whole way and place upon some centrally located property building of which we may be proud, one which will con- front the eye of visitor and loudly proclaim to him and to the citizens in the making in our own community. our pride in our city and in those whose memory we are to honor? It may cost more, but we do not have to spend the money at all. It we cannot spend willingly and freely there is no use in begging the question. Let us have a real memorial auditorium or let us build up, in marble, the present memorial arch. Evasion, whose only recommendation is it's cheapness, does not pay, whether we wish plain as- sembly hall or a memorial auditori- nm,
