been paid, total b0,S miles in the state, These sos miles will cost mora than Si.0O0.000, indicating forcefully how tho cost of con structing roads has advanced in the state since the earlier SIS miles Of federal roads" were built,
 There are no new projects In Con ncetlcut approved for construction, the state sharing this distinction with Maine, tho only other state that has not projected more federal aid roads. There Is d balance of S1,497,4S1S5 available 10 Connecti- cut from the fedora aid fund.
 These figures are taken from the latest report of the federal bureas of public roads, which gives a splendid birds eye view of federal road construction in conjunction with the states the country over.
 The chief federal aid roads in Connecticut comprise the so-called military road from New London to Glastonbury and the shore road from New London to Branford, small portion Of which is still under const ruction. The road from Dan bury to Bridgeport also was mostly constructed by federal aid. The road up the Housatonic valley, only partly completed. is such a high way. A road from Coventry to Abingdon is projected. Several miles of the otherwise state highway from Pennington to New Haven was also built by government aid.
 The champion state for having its hands in the federal road build ing till has been and is Texas. More 1 than $500 miles of roads have been ]
 1 completed with the federal aid in ! the Lone Star state which cost the [ tidy sum of s53,000,000. half of which the government disbursed. But not satisfied with the fine showing" Texas has t,470.3 miles still under construction. which will cost the trihe of nearly S24,000, 1000; and 2O5.S miles of additional roads have been approved" for construc- ton by the federal government.
 No other state compares with Texas in it's annexation of federal road money. Those states which have high federal mileage are Georgia, Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota, Nebraska and Wisconsin If will be noted that these states usually are regarded as "progres- siye" from the standpoint of being prepared to disburse money for highways - at least meeting the government 50-5o. 4
 New York, the Empire state
 which is given little to boasting of it's wealth. hasn't been too uppish in accept federal aid. It has T3s
 miles of fedaral-aid roads, with 59s
 miles under construction, and l3l-f

 thai much: fhe government will pa.

SUNDAY MEATS

Mayor PaoneSsa IS or the opinion that certain meat stores should be permitted to remain open Sunday forenoon in order to permit poor people who do not own refrigera- tors to purchase meats for their Sunday dinner. He says that unless this is done there is no way for the refrigeratorless population to keep meat over Saturday night.
 The mayor does not trouble him self as to inconveniences caused to storekeepers selling meat; the idea apparently is that they can work and are willing 10 work half the day Sunday to satisfy the demand for meat on Sunday mornings.
 There is such thing as over doing the serving the public busl- ness. Storekeepers are human beings and should not be expected to be open all the time. Many small shops in the outlying sections are open from early morning until late at night and all day Sunday, but it ap- f pears that few meat shops arc among their number. One wonders ! when storekcepers ever get time for an hours relaxation from their bus
 mess
 Of course. the mayors contention that refrigefatorless citizens ought
 to be able to obtain meat for the
 Sunday dinner Is sound. Some Of them, the mayor indicates, although
 possibly being able to afford the
 purchase Of refrigcratOrs, could not
 afford to keep them stocked with
 expensive ice. There have been
 rumors, however, that some such
 citizens are able to operate and
 navigate fiivyers and buy the neceS-
 sary gasoline, but that, like Messrs'
 Potash & perlmuttcr would say, lis
 something else again"
 There ought to be more ncigh-
 borIiness among the refriGcrato or
 less and the refrigerator owners
 Why couldn't the latter permit the use of a small space in the family refrigerator on Saturday night for few neighbors who lack thest modern uppurtenances? Maybe
 regular business could be done bl
 charging q few cents for the scrV'
 ice. This would help to pay for th' . ire and at the same time aid th' { pcighborhood uplift. It is assumed of course, that just as much mea . would be taken out on Sunda' v morning as was placed in the coo s crypt the night before; tn othe e words. that there would be honest, e among ncighbors where such re Y frigeralor communism existed. t The mayor also seems to aSSum 1 that many people eat meat durln - inc hot weather. Everybody to hl n taste. of course; some folks simpI
 don't seem to do without thei l. beefsteak especially on Sunda' .- Doctors tell us not to each muc c meat during tho hot weather, bl n some of us don't pay much attcnuo l. to advice.
 ,f If the mayor started an agitauo e to have the prices of refrigerator a reduced and the cost of ice abo' = cnt in half, perhaps there would n' l. be many rerrigeratoriess citizen ,s provided he could create resuI r. through the agitation, But this " to be doubted. Both the refriger' ir tor makers and sellers and the har' er working, perspiring ice men tta al 10 make profit regardless. ,n It is a tight little question. If ly to be noted clearly, however, tn Y. the mayor isn't running me lis shop: if he did he might want

If there must be anti-foreign out breaks in China, the State Depart ment hopes for them like this last one, at such places as Shanghai.
 Picking is inland. Surrounded there by Boxers, the foreigners were almost overwhelmed before re- lief cut its way through.
 Shanghai is only a few miles from the sea, on a big river. In 1t several warships always lie. their guns ready. Helped by a few land ing parties. the settlements" yol- unteers could stand of enormous odds.
 At worst everybody could be taken off. Property loss is imagin- able; not massacre.
 A prolonged boycott would be worse. Foreign Shanghai depends absolutely on Chinese labor. indus trial and domestic, common and skilled, manual and clerical. Equal Iy it depends on sthe "hinterland' for supplies.
 Cut of, it would be paralyzed. Japan experienced a Chinese boy colt few years ago. There was dispute.
 we can lick you" warned the Japanesc. True" the Chinese agreed. We won't fight. Neither will we trade with you.''
 Nor would they. Japan forced some small transactions on few communities, but they amounted to nothing. Her trade fallen flat, Japan had to make terms.
  Chinese resentment at foreign domination in the treaty ports. like Shanghai, is natural, On Chi nese soil the foreigners have their own cities. under their own govern ments; their own courts and theit own laws, udenr which Chinese arr punished - often uniustly. they consider.

THE OBSER YER : Makes Random Observations
 On the City and Its People

The driver again: "But you can use them on the trolley too
 The crutsy one: I'm not coming back here I tell you. I'm going to Now Haven"
 The driver: "You. can use them there."
 The crusty one: "I tell you once and for all don't want any Of your tokens"
 And that's that.
 Sitting on our rear peranda last evening with our favorite book and our fayorite pipe, we were engrossed In the pages when our attention was distracted by familiar noise. At first 1t was faint and almost in- distinct hum. It grew into a buzz as 1t came nearer and finally stop ped as VIC made a half circle swing with out trusty arm, causing the book to fall to the floor and hot ashes into our lap. An, yes. we thought, summer Is here. Its ad- vance guard, the gentle mosquito, has announced its coming.
 This morning upon opening our mail we discovered letter from the Gorgas Memorial Institute of Chi cago regarding measures which may be taken in any community to pre- vent the propagation Of this summer pest. The institute is named after the engineer who cleaned up Pana- ma by exterminating mosquitoes and thereby stamping out yellow fever.
 The female of the species, like Kiplin's vampire, Is more deadly than the male. The mosquito which bites is a lady mosquito. She is the destroyer. If 8 mosquito bites you, you may rest assured that it is not a gentleman. She thirsts for human blood, 50 she injects her proboscis into the most convenient person, says "prosit" and drinks until driven away. It is peculiar thing that only one mosquito in a million ever gets a mile away from its birthplace, proving that mosquitos around every home were born in that neighbor- hood.
 Among the suggestions made for the prevention of mosquito breeding are the following:
 Get rid of water by drainage. If this cannot be done, spread the sur face with oil.
 Repair broken or bent roof gut ters to prevent the forming of pool! in which mosquitoes may braed.
 Clean out clogged downspouts foi the same reason.
 Cart away tin cans. broken bottles and other receptacIes which may re- tain water so they cannot become breeding places for mosquitoes.
 Tn rural districts and suburbs which depend upon cesspools fol waste disposal, cover the vent witt tightly fitting screen, not less thar IS meshes to the inch. or mosquitoes willbreed in this filth.
 Cover drain water barrel tightl! with screen cover, mesh of which | l1s to the inch. This Is the only wa. , Ito keep mosquitoes from breeding , therein.
 If you have bird baths in the yard , they should be cleaned weekly The, are excellent places for mosquitoe to lay eggs and for the eggs t r. hatch.
 If your favorite golf club ha :. water hazards, have them spraye' with oil, or tho mosquitoes will soo1 be so thick they will chase you of ; the greens.
