Uncle John -

The turtle-dove enthralls us
with her soul-entrancin' song,
which the great Creator gave
her-an' she couldn't sing it
wrong, for, she's practiced it un-
ceasin' through the centuries l
guess, till, she's got it to per-
fection-nothin' more an nothin'
less
It's the song of angel-purity-
of gentieness an love, and,
there's pathos mixed with glad
ness in the cooin' of the dove,-
Amt no sort of human singin'
that's so soothin' or sublime, un-
less it's Mothers symphony-at
Baby's rockin' time!
L reckon / am ignorant, an
mebbe shouldn't feel that the
simple song of Natur' beats the
dedicated squeal-but, I'd take
| Gods feathered songsters fer
the the music of my choice, in
preference to the fashionable,
| cultivated voice!

ZEN. BILLIARD ON
 DEFENSE POLICIES
Warns Against Error Of Un.
 preparedness

New York, Aug, is,-''If the pstFi- otic people of this country do not make a success of National Defense Test Day, the paeifists who brought Us unprepared 10 the awful sacrifices and losses Of the war will again bring us to such sacrifices and losses and per. hans this time 10 dishonor among the peoples Of the world"
 Major General Robert Lee Bullard commanding the second corps ares said at a dinner given him last night by the American Defense society, with the cooperation of thirty-seven civic. patriotic and memorial organizations,
 He declared that the National De- ftnse act passed by congress Tn 1890, was being enforced by the army of the United States, and that insufficient ap- propriations in tho interests of sov- ernment economy had compeled re- sort 10 the building Of defenses from the eitizenry.
 Yet hardly had the announcement Of this worthy plan been made" he said. 'when n great outcry was raised by few brain-siek. hystericai paci- fists, This time the signs are that the good sense of the country is going to prevail and the objections of the paci- fists, now without any backing in req son, are going to fall.
 Defense Test Day will be SO patri- otic and so reasonable a dcmoSstra- lion that any people that would re- gard it as a threat of war would be silly fools."

FILLING STATION ROWS.

Virtually each time plans are an- filling station opposition is encounter ed from nearby property owners. New Britain has had a goodly share Of such verbal disturbances and will con- tnue to have them until such gaso- line depots improve their appearances and omit some of the concomitants of the business that are sources Of com- plaint.
 A filling station war in Meriden, the opponents being headed by Mayor H. T, King, brings to light pecuiarities Of the state law governing such af- fairs and again indicates the lack of complete sef-government by Connec- ticut cities.
 It was discovered that plans were Colony and Camp streets; station already exists nearby at Colony street
 
 claims such an establishment would accentuate traffic dangers in one of the most congcsted spots in the city.
 Mayor King discovered that R. B. stoecixel, state commissioner of mo- Dor vehicles, had approved the pro- posed station; and this at point that the commissioner himself is reported to have named as extremely danger ous.
 The motor vehicle department re- piled to protestants that the site pre- viously had been approved by the 'safety authorities Of Meriden."
 This was a poser 10 ,he mayor; he didn't know uho these alleged safety authorities could be. Neither the chief Of police nor inc building in- spector knew anything about the per nit q
 It turned out that Henry c. Mitchell, a real estate agent, had ob- tained the authority for the erection Of the new station. The realtor told 2 breathless reporter that according 10 the state law it is only necessary to obtain the sanction of the heads of the police and fire departments. This the realtor did in behalf of his client who plans 10 erect the station. It turned out that tse chief of the fire
