ACCIDENT FIGURES STORY

4 step hss,been made in fixing tho
 blame for most of the motor vehicle
 accidents, at least this is so if the
 month of April, the worst April as
 far as accidents in the history of the motor vehicle department may be taken as a criterion. The blame is
 not to be placed on the youngest driv- CTS, nor on the very oldest in point of Mage. Nor is it to be placed on those who have had their licenses but a short time.
 People between the ages of 20 and so were involved in SIS per cent of the accidents for the last year, but this may be partially explained by the fact that almost third Of all the operators registered in 1923 were between those ages.
 The especially significant fact. as shown by the figures just given out by the motor vehicle department, Is that experienced" operators were ih- volved in over S7 per cent of the acci- dents reported 10 the department for the month of April, while operators who have held Connecticut licenses less than six months. many of whom had never before been licensed, figured in 1o.3 per cent Of the April accidents.
 Although there are a far greater number Of experienced" drivers in the state than there are inexperienced ones, and although this fact would naturally lead one to expect there would be more experienced" drivers involved in accidents than there would be from the smaller class. nevertheless these figures do show that the so-calied experienced" drivers are not giving proper evidence Of their boasted experience. The experienced driver Of one. two. three or more years ego is not entitled 10 bear the distinc- l ton of superior skill if he has failed 7 to realize that the sort of driving ai- i lovsble one. two. three years ago is not possible today The experienced l man or woman retains his or her right 10 that distinction only as long as he is able 10 note the changed conditions of the road.

 Worlock, an English actor in 'rhe
 Moon -Elower." in which she closed
 recently in New York, were married yesterday at Miss Fcrguson's resi- dence. Arlcigl Road. by Justice of

Re- ports of their engagement were first heard upon Miss Ferguson's return from her summer residence in Paris last year, although neither would make any comment. The romance became an open secret among Miss FerGuson's closest friends the past season. and rapid progress was noted by the other principals in "The Moon- Flower" after its opening at the Astor theater last Feb. 25.
 Mir. Worock was not cast for Miss Fcrguson's leading man. that role falling 10 Sidney Blackmcr, but as an amorous villain, he was an ''impres- sive and seemingly dangerous grand duke" while Miss Ferguson had l never been more flamingly bcauti- | full"

Montana Ice Crop
Not Up To Standard

Much space still remains in the big
ice houses of the Western Fruit Elk
press. The second crop on the res
ervoir at the mouth of Wolf Creek
is reported as only about eight inches
thick, too thin to handle and pack
to advantage. The slightly colder
weather of the past few days gives
promise of improving the crop, but
in the mean time, arrangements have
been completed for shipment from
Spicer Lake, Mimi. and Mr.. Lusbey
expects the first ice trains to arrive
Monday.
E. c. Grayson, chief engineer, and
R. l.. Wiles, supervising engineer for
the company, are here this week in
charge of the improvements under
way at the ice houses.

JOAN

Joan is the feminine counterpart OF
j John, and yet it has never had the
common vogue of that most popular of
male proper names. Joan signifies
gift of the Lord" and there is consid-
cradle question as to whether it's origin
was English or Teutonic.
At any event, the name first made it's
appearance as Joanna and is said TO
have originated with Joanna, holy
woman of the Gospel. She was never
~canonized, so it is believed that the
name was adopted rather in honor of
n of the Saint Johns than as a trib-
ute to her, particularly as there are 80
feasts Of Saint John on the Roman
calendar and only two in honor of
Joanna.
In the Twelfth century the name be-
gan to be used with inexplicable fire.
quency in southern France, when la
dies named Juana in Spanish, and Je-
hanne or Jeanne In French, married
into every royal family of the time.
h first English princess so called was
the daughter of Henry II. Indeed, al
most every king had a daughter Joan
or Jhone.
Joan Makepeace was the name given
to the daughter of Edward II when the
long war with the Bruces was partly
paciied by her marriage. Another
famous Joan was Jean Beaufort, the
maiden Economically beloved by the
captive James /. AS his widow she so
hercely revenged his death, it will be
recalled.
Cur1ously enough, Hannah is derived
from Joan through the German favor
lite peasant name, Johanna. Hannah,
however, is purely English. For a time
Joan,~ favorite name of queens, lost
vogue in England and descended to
the cottage and kitchen. 1t became
the name for domestics, and in this day
of servant problems one might well
understand how it came TO mean "gift
of the Lord"
Joan's talismanic jewel is the hello
or bloodstone. 1t is an opaque
stone, deep green in color, and sprin- !
Kled with red jasper as with blood. It
