SPRING By Kid Boots

(With q Bow to Florence Hazen)
 In Spring the grass starts to begin to grow, leafs come out on trees that didn't have any on before, butterflies go around looking for flowers to sit on, fellows go crround with no coats and hats on, fires go out and every body that hasent got a cold feels grate.
 Some things that come in Spring are buds, Spring fever, and thawts Of vacation.
 In Spring the berds fly back from the South although they never even herd of April. May and June. This shows that nature is wonderful.
 Another sine of Spring is wen you come home some day and find the ferniture all pushed diffrent and the carpits all up and your mother with Q dust cloth and a wild Impression. This is known as Spring cleening and if you don't keep out of the way you are libel to half to beet rugs.
 In Spring everybody goes erround saying "Aint this bewtiful weather?" in public and putting on lite under ware in private.

Woman Fashions of 1925
 Traced to Stone Age Art

Rotterdam, England, March 27.- That there is little new under the sun, even with regard to women's fashions, was pointed out by Ethert Brand, curator of the museum here in the course of a recent lecture. Referring to an illustration Of women dancers on the walls of Spanish cave, he said these palaeo- lithic belles were very near 10 the present day women with their high hats, chingnons, tight waists \and bell-shaped skirts. These cave pie lures were probably the earliest fashion plates in the world, and were drawn about 10000 years ago. declared Mir. Brand.
 Another illustration from Spain showed a costume very much akin to that of the modern fiapper.

now the stories are not being quot. cd,
 Instead, President Coolidge is told by cabinet members that the indus trial outlook Is favorable. Of course, the cabinet doesn't know moro about tho future than any body else, but on the premise that it is safer to be d bull on the fu- ture in this country than a bear, the cabinet probably has guessed correctly.
 The President Is said to harbor the suspicion that there has been "ovcr-speculation," Now that the bubble has burst, 1t is also quite safe to force ones self to this conclusion. Quite recently the said over.specu- lati0n was ascribed by friends of the administration to the enormous confidence generally held in a safe and sane administration.
 Human nature fin the stock spec ulation business-if 1t can be termed business-works along peculiar lines. Nobody has yet asccrtained why the urge to buy stocks is SO pronounced when they are high, while the urge to sell is so pronounced when they are low. This being the case it is manifestly unwiso to predicate tho business outlook upon the total Of shares that happen to change hands at any particular time.

BACK TO NORNALCY"
 IN HOUSING

The housing situation is being re- licved throughout the entire coun- try, more so in some centers than in others, but on the whole the out look indicates that back to nor- malcy." so far as housing is con- cerned. will be less and less a dream.
 New York City is commonly re- garded as being less favorable to- ward an alleviation Of housing con- ditions than any other city; but even there the ice has been broken and conditions are not what they were in recent years.
 Statistics are brought to bear upon the subject in the following light; In 1909 there were 3S,OOO apartments vacant in Manhattan. But in 1921 only 961 apartments were vacant, this being less than one apartment in every 500. This point marked the peak of the hous- ing shortage.
 How conditions have been i'm proved since that time is indicated by summary which gives approx imately 10000 apartments as being empty in Manhattan at the present time. A large proportion of these are old buildings. And 1t must be remembered that the total of empty apartments in Manhattan, which may look large to an outsider who Is not accustomed to dealing in such large figures, is no great percentage of the number of apartments in q city of millions in population.
 As the housing situation is con- quered, the tussle between Old and new buildings begins. The newer and more modern living quarters will be in demand, while the older structures can only be complete with them by offering more attractive prices. This is the ultimate nor malcy. When old buildings can no longer compete with newer struc- lures on a cut-price basis, then their doom is sealed as paying enterprises and then usually give way to mod ern structure.
 Some of this is going on in New Britain at the present time. It is the working of an economic law, and is called progress.

STATE REPRESENTATION AND WHEELER BILL

Is the man who purchases liquor as guilty under the 18th amend ment as the man who sells it? States Attorney Hugh NJ. Alcorn, who wants the Wheeler bill passed by the Legislature, says he Is. But the Connecticut Supreme Court of Errors has held to the contrary, following the precedent of the high court in Massachusetts according to lawyers who have dclved into the matter.
 The decision of the Connecticut high court (State vs. Teahan, 50, Conn. 92) tended to clarify the gen. eral statute (Gen. Statutes, page 547, Section 8 which provides that any one who shall assist, abet, counsel, cause, hire or command" another to commit an offense shall be as guilty as he who actually commits it. The bigh court held that the purchaser Of liquor induces the selleg to make the sale, but does not assist him.
 This much has been brought out in discussion Of the Wheeler bill throughout the state, discussion to which eminent attorneys have con- tributed, some of whom have re- ferred to the Connecticut court de- ceion in opposition to Mir, Alcorn's contentious.
 The Wheeler bill manifestly goes further than the 18th Amendment, which prohibits the manufacture, sale and transportation of intoXicat- ing liquor, but does not prohibit the purchase or drinking of intoXicants.
 It is true that various states have laws that operate to the disadvan- tage of the buyer of liquor as well as the seller. In most such states, if not in all of them, prohibition sentiment has been sufficiently strong to back up the laW-making power in the promulgation of such stringent statute. Whether prohibit ton sentiment is strong enough in Connecticut for such a purpose re- mains to be seen, always bearing in mind that the majority in the Leg islature comes from the small towns, which are usually dry" in sentiment, and not from the larger cities, which usually are "wet".
 If all the legislators and senators from the small towns vote for the Wheeler measure and those from the cities line up against it, the bill probably will pass, although in spite of this the representatives from the cities would represent the majority of residents in the state. This may not be democracy in It's most exalt- ed sense, but is the kind of democra- ey we have in the state under the present system of representation II for this reason the Wheeler bill passed it's drastic provisions might tend to focus public attention upon a method of representation that has been frequently flayed by observers in the past but which has not been reformed because of political rea-- sons.
 1T a referendum were possible on the Wheeler bill there is little doubt r it would be defeated; but a refer endum such as exists in the Legis- Iature is monstrously unfair, yet re- peatedly results in laws being passed by the representatives of minority of the states citizens, and contrary to the sentiments of the majority,

Five Historic Spots Now
Open to- Public.

Westinghouse 38 years Liberty
must have blushed under the reverent
gaze of millions of immigrants. Only
in October, 1924, did she come into
her own, ofiicially-she was made a
national monument by an executive
order of President Coolidge. The or
der reads that Fort Wood, N. Y,
shall be made a national monument.
Fort Wood is no more and no less
than the Statue of Liberty enlighten-
ing the world.
In the same order that made the
Statue of Liberty what the American
people thought she was, four other
military reservations or parts of them
were set aside as national monuments
open to the public. One of these, Fort
Marion at st. Augustine, Fla, is well
known. The others, Castle Pinckney,
Charleston HarbOr, S. c.; Fort Pu-
laski, near Savannah, Ga, and Fort
Matanzas, near st. Augustine, are less
well known.
What They Commemorate.
"A massacre which probably was
the most terrible committed on Amer
lean soil, the only intact example Of
a medieval fort in North America, the
site where ritled guns first spelled the
doom of parapets, the scene of the
Civil wars first shot and the first sue
cessful submarine attack, and the
modern worlds equivalent of the
Colossus Of Rhodes-these are the in
cidents memorialized by the five new
national monuments" says a bulletin
OK the National Geographic society
from it's headquarters in Washington.
History knits together the stories
Of Fort Marion and Fort Matanzas,
the latter 10 miles tC the south. Don
Pedro Menendez, the 'adelantado' or
governor of Florida, founded st. Au-
gustine in 1865 as a base from which
to attack the Huguenot colony at Fort
Caroline, 80 miles north. Spain
claimed the HuguenOts trespassed on
their territory. But the Huguenots.
French Protestants, who had come for
religious freedom like the Pilgrims
were to come 60 years later, decided
to surprise the Spanish.
Their fleet swooped down on st.
augustine but Florida hurricane
