 IN NINE MONTHS
Total Number of Operators in Connecticut Now 2St,3O4

The state motor vehicle depart mcnt admitted 45,179 new motor vehicle operators during the months Of this year up to the beginning Of the present month, according 10 sta tistics for the first three quarters made public at the department This brings the total of licensed operators in Connecticut up to 23l,S04, by far the greatest number in the history of the department.
 The making" of new operators continued throughout the past quar- ter at a rate nearly as great as for the second quarter, from April to June 30, which is the most popu- lar season for operators examina- tions. Whereas 22.S5S operators were examined in the second quar- ter, 1T7O6 were examined in the third quarter. in addition to which three applicants for ayiators' licenses were examined.
 At the same time, that is, in the third quarter, 17043 additional pas senger automobiles 2463 conner cial cars and ten airships were Ii. censed, bringing the total of all reg istrations made hy the state of Con necticut in the first nine months ol the year to 214,124, which is also new high level. Gasoline license, were issued to 961 persons or cor porations during the past quarter. making the total of licensed gas stations in Connecticut now 3,740.
 Fines for violations of the motor vehicles laws totallcd S60,5O79l to, the quarter and trial fees s265. Tn total of such fines reported to th, department for the nine months r $146,007.32.
 The fact that there have bv,r 32,So7 motor vehicle transfers 10, the nine-month period to October as against 24,6S9 in the same period of 1923, probably indicates increased motor vehicle sales this year.
 Department receipts. exclusive Of the gasoline tax, for the past nine months. aggregated s4.923,%59.O7. an increase of 17,5 per cent over the receipts for the same period Of 1923. These receipts are by law transferred 10 the treasurer for the use of the state highway department for road work.

 closed doors. The Committee eW-
 dently considered carefully repair
 ing the church in its present form
 but finally voted October 30th to
 proceed with the changes, which left
 the building practically as at pres
 ont, In detail the changes princi- pally concerned the interior. The
 modern design made of ash and fln- ished in the natural wood. The pipe
 organ was removed from the west gallery to the south east corSer re- Quirng cutting off the ganery, and
 was separated from the pulpit plat
 form and congregation by q suitable railing which also enclosed the
 singers, The pulpit platform was
 lowered and a new pulpit and com munion table installed. New stairs were built at the north west corner to the gallery, and room for small meetings was built in the west end where the organ and singers had been before. When the decision to go ahead with these changes waus made it was with the understanding that the furnaces, cushions and
 furnishing the lecture room shoul0
 be left out" My remembrance is that these were completed at the same time. Excellent photographs Of the interior as well as exterior of the present form of the Meeting
 House arc on file in the church archives After all the changes had
 been at a cost of about s4,000, Feb. .2S, 1884, was set as the day for re- dedication, President Noah Porter, D, D, of Yale college preached the sermon. The records show that 'Adam Woodruff was paid in October r, 1888, $1,110.50 for building the chapel at Upson's Corner.

And now after recording the location, building, remodeling. re- pairing and making more beautiful this Church, as We now call 1t. let us consider its significance. It could have been more beautiful, though we love its dignifed simplicity standing grandly among the sur- rounding wooded hills and valleys. It could have been different in many ways, but in one respect 1t always has been and we hope always will be the same-the body that has contained the spirit, the moving vital force of Christianity in this com- munity. the shelter and sanctuary of our ancestors in their worship of God in all the generations since its erection. If there Is any inanimate object on earth that should arouse in us feelings of love and reverence, should it not be this Meeting House dedicated and rededicated by our ancestors to God wherein those who have gone before have bowed in humility and reverence to their Heavenly Father in common with their children and children's chill dren.
 Let us not fail to here set down that these loving memories are far more to us than wood and stone.

an amazing story is told of how, at
the age Of eighteen. he suddenly &C
quired hearing and speech Five
years ago, while serving AS an in
Etructor in a WeatChester county In
stitution for deaf mutes. Berlenbach
one day went to the aid OF q youth

ground Climbing pole. Berlenbach
released the kite, but In so doing
came In contact with the heavily
charged wire. He fell to the ground
unconscious. and those who came to
his aid believed him dead.
Accident Proves Aid.
First aid. however, revived him,
and to his establishment he found
his sense of hearing normal. Med
ical interest was attracted and sub
scQuent treatment also developed his
speech.
, Eerlenbach's rise to pugilistic fame
within lesns than year has been
spectacular and all the more remark
able because he is one OF the few
former wrestlers to acquire nstic
prowess. He won the Olympic mid
dlewetght wrestling championship at
Antwerp in 1920.
Later he turned his attention to
the ring and an an amateur hung up
thirteen straight knock-outs. termi-
mating his Simon-pure career with
victory over Tommy Kautz. the am

RIVAL FOR LEONARD
is EAGERLY SOUGHT

Desperate measures are being
planned to develop some lightweight
who can interest the fans as an op-
ponent for Benny Leonard.
The situation suggests one of those
undersea films occasionally shown at
the movie theaters. where all sorts
of fish swim around baited hooks, but
evidently are not hungary. The sea
of pugilism is shortly going to be
filed with these baited hookS-some
of them will bear the names of Gold
man, Tender, Dundee, Moran, TAFT
and SO forth. 1t remains to be seen
how eagerly the fan fish bite.
But, lurking ahead, Leonard has
one real struggle In view. This is
battle between him and Mickey
Walker for the welter title; it is the
only promising fight that the lighter
division of pugilism offers just now.

Here is a national sport which, in
most institutions. aside from Harvard.
Yale and Princeton, is a loser. and
even in these places does not show
receipts which logically should be
expected.
In the east certain important ath-
letic institutions regard the competi-
ton Of organized base ball 'as the
cause Of this condition. In other
words. whereas foot ball will receive
the support of the general public, coll
lege base ball Is attended only by
college men. and save upon the oc-
casion of commencement games. by
few Of these.
There was a movement on foot to
organize a university base ball league,
PLAYING a regular schedule Of games.
1t was thought that in this way fnter r.
est might be developed and the sport
put upon a better paying basis.
But the plan fell through, chiefly,
it is said. because of the opposition
of Princeton to the scheme. 1t Is
doubtful wheth or not this expedi-
ent would have accomplished hoped
for results II college base ball suf-
fers through professional base ball, it
is because the professionals play the
