Research Discloses Iden-
tity. of Senate
Habitue

Among the spectators who linger
long in the Senate galleries listen
ing intently to the discussions on
the floor below, there has been
observed frequently in the last
few weeks a white-haired man
with an Emersonian cast OF coun-
tenance. Inquiry reveals that he
has a hereditary right to such
cast, for he is a member Of a
branch of the philosophers family
Samuel Emerson.
Further digging reveals that he
is q retired professor of history,
who, with his wife and two daugh-
ters, is spending the winter in
Washington. The family is es-
tablished in an apartment at the
Parkwood.
Professor Emerson has the dis
tinction Of having been teacher
Of Mrs. Coolidge. when she was
student at the University OF
Vermont. Since his retirement
from the profession, each year he
and his family have gone to live
in some place Of especial interest
to Professor Emerson. Last year,
for instance, they were in New
York and now they are in Wash.
ington and where they will be the
next year they have no idea as
yet. Perhaps they will like Wash
ington so well that it viii claim
them for more than a year.
The family is of New England
birth and breeding. The two
daughters, who are grown, are
ned Mary and Margaret. It seems
too that the family of Mrs. Cool
idge and the Emerson family have
long been friends.

Record Attendance at
 Y Bible Class Meeting

Rev. c. H. Schneck gave in inter- : esting talk to the largest attendance of the year at the Y. NJ. c. A. Bible Class last night. His subject was "A Black Eye" and as usual he han died the subject with a great deal of humor, but brought out the real value of the eyes in really getting a vision.
 The attendance at this session was greatly increased by the dele- gations from Corbin Screw Corp. and Besse-Leland store. Their dele gations ran very close in numbers, with the Corbin group winning by 35 to 31 score in attendance.
 Through the kindness of Walter W. Leland a musical program was given by G. Fazzina, an accordionist.
 Next week will be Ladies Night and Mr. Schneck will again be the speaker.

TELLEGEN TALKS
Says His Marriage Was Kept Secret To Prevent Embarrassment To New And Former Wives.

Hollywood, Cal, Feb. 20.-Consid- eration for two women, his former wife and his youthful bride, led Lou Tellegen, actor of the stage and screen, to keep his December, 1923, marriage secret, he said in his first interview on the subject since rec ords in the east confirmed rumors that the former Miss Isabel Craven |Dilworth, known to the films as Nina Romano, has been Mrs. Tellegen for more than a year.
 Tellegen explained that he thought 1t would have been Embarrassing" to Miss Dilworth to have revealed their marriage the day after his di- vorce from Geraldine Farrar be- came absolute, and that it would have smacked of discourtesy to Miss Farrar, too.
 Informed that the existence of his Elittle son, Rexford, proved even more of surprise in film circles than news of the wedding. the actor replied smilingly that he had spent considerable money" to protect .the child from the glare of the lime light.

BIG TURNOVER IN
 AUTOS DURING '24
4S,OO0 Motor Vehicles Changed Hands, State Department Says

Hartford, Feb. 20.---Approximate ly 43.000 motor vehicles changed hands in Connecticut during the past year, 1t Is indicated by the records of the state motor vehicle depart ment. At the same time there was n. decrease of 4l5 in the number of motor vehicle dealers registered in the state. the whole number listed in the department for the calendar year 1924 being 59S. The number of motor vehicles which changed hands in the year was an increase of about 5000 over the previous year. The department makes a charge of one dollar for each transfer of registra- ton.
 Gas Stations Increasing.
 Gasoline stations continued to in crease. the number registered at the end of the year, according to statis- tics given out today, being 3,939, as against 2,577 at the end of the pre- vious year. There is, now q gasoline station for every three and one-half miles of road throughout the state, cn 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.
 It was recently brought out that the stations already established sold enough gasoline In 1924 to fill Reser- voir No. of the Hartford Munich pal Water Supply to capacity, and the supply of this reservoir is suffi- cient to fill the water needs of Hart ford and it's environs for two weeks.
 The average gross income of each retail gasoline station from the sale of gasoline was nearly s5,500 for the past year. Since there is no state tax on oil, the department has no way to ascertain the average gross earn ings on all the business of such sta- tions. It is true, however, that many garages maintain gasoline pumps, which are subject to the state licens- ing law, merely as accommodation to patrons of other departments of the garages and are therefore not profitable.
