This was generally regarded as
decisive in favor of spontaneous

the challenge, and before an audi.
ence of savants in the Sorbonue,
in 1864, he began by passing
beam of light through the dark

enormous population of dust that
floats the air.
Thus said he, ''all objects
become covered with dust-the
furniture, the table, and the
mercury in this basin. 1t is not
possible to touch this mercury,

interior of the basin the dust

ELSIE ROBINSON

Money means a good deal to the average
husband, not because it represents so many
ounces of silver and gold but because it
stands for so much MAN POWER-so much
initiative, patience, perseverance, hard scrap
ping, logged endurance, determination,
courage. Men buy their right to earn money
at great odds. Every day competition in
creases and the pace quickens. Every day it
is harder to get job and hold one. Every
dollar passes through the triple baptism o
blood and sweat and tears. Money is minted
not only from earth and stone, but from the
precious ore of human SPUNk. THE NET
TIE Of character underlies the chemical
METAL of workingman's money.

The number of motor vehicles whien changed hands in the year was an in crease of about 5000 over the pre- vious year. The department makes a charge Of one dollar for each transfer of registration.
 Gasoline stations continued to in crease. the number registered at the end of the year. according to statis- ties given out today, being 3.939, as against 2,5i7 at the end of the pre- vi0us year There is now a gasoline station for every three and one-half miles of road throughout the state, on an average basis. including towns roads and all other types, and one for about every half mile of state roads. and applications continue to be received for the licensing of more. Ii was recently brought out that the stations already established sold enough gasoline in 1924 to fin Reser- voir No. of the Hartford Municipal Water Supply Co capacity, and the supply of this reservoir is sufficient to fll the water needs of Hartford and its environs for two weeks. The aver age gross income of each retail gRso- line station from the sale of gasoline was nearly s5, ,b0O for the past year. Since there Is no state tax on oil, the department has no way to ascertain the average gross earnings on all the business of such statiors, IL is true, however, that many garages main tain gasoline pumps, which are sub ject to the state licensing law, merely as accommodations to patrons of other departments of the garages and are therefore not profitable.
