Well, what does a girl who has

taste for romance?
Answering question No. 1, Miss
Faurot says:
There's no chance OF doubt con-
cerning love once Il arrives; l don't
think all the proposals in the world
would make any difference"
To No. ?:
"If 1000. 900 men proposed. one
should have no trouble In choosing
the right one"
To No. 3:
Thrilled TO Death.

FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

An thinking people appreciate what the Connecticut company has done and Is doing for the people of the state in furnishing transportation. In- cidentally many believe that the com pany might do more and do 1t more efficiently. And all discerning people realize that the public utilities com- mission has had the welfare of the Connecticut company at heart, realiz- ing this very thing--the service of the company to the people and the need of protecting it to certain extent The commission has not forgotten this need of protection for a minute.
 But just to keep the record straight" and to keep informed on the situation that in all future references to the Connecticut company matters the facts may be always in mind, at- tention is called to the action yester- day of the State senate in passing a bill which gives the board of control authorization to abate in whole or in part taxes and interest from any elec- tric street railway company in the hands of a receiver, when the com pany fails to earn the amount of the tax and its operating expenses.
 There was some slight objection made to the bill on the ground that public service corporations are receiv- ing too much preference in this state, but the objection. and the one which disapproved the bill as being "class legislation was not fatal to the bill, Of course the. Connecticut company is the 'any electric street railway company" referred to in the bill, and it is merely for future reference that the passage by the senate of the measure is here emphasized. It will be interesting to see what happens in the future.

Is emphasized at this tlme is to form habits of care In regard to burning rubbish to see that the fire does not spread and destroy valuable timber, Clearing out dried underbrush is an- other means of protecting the forests, especially from old roads, A patrolllng system for large tracts is wise and the adoption of other means of protection suggested by communication with the state forester.
 In this. as in other matters often sighted, only little thought is nec- essary to show the great importance of the movement to preserve our for ests. In this denscly populated state, where other matters concern most of the people. 1t is especially necessary to emphasize the wisdom of extraordln- ary eXertions on the part of the comparatively few who are familiar with forestry matters and who appre- ciate the value of the forests which still remain. .....
