25 Fears Ago Today

Andrew Turnbull, who has com pIctcd his annual house-to-house inspection for the water department, says that the population of New Britain is under-e estimated. He claims that it is nearer 3l,O0O than SO,oOO. It is nearly impossible to get the full number, he states, as in some houses he sees 20 to 2o people 20 to work every day and is told that only p live there. while in one house a woman said she had but three children and he saw i've in the yard, later learning they all | belonged to her.
 The hospital is planning to have regular schedule for the doctors 10 take charge of certain departments and at certain hours.
 Republicans claim that 2.5OO men will be in line tonight, including military organizations from Hart ford, Springfield and other cities. l At the democratic caucus last night Thomas H. Brady and James r, Lee were nominated for the legis- lature.
 Those who take part In the parade tonight are warned to beware of the pitfalls along Main street where the subway excavations have been made.
 William r. Davis has just com pleted the building of a two-horso- power gasoline engine which he will attach to a carriage which he has also constructed for himself. Mir, Davis expects to be riding around soon in his new motor carriage, The engine guarantees a speed of 15 miles an hour.
 In answer to requests to settle a Plainyille bet, the Herald learns that the monument in New Britain is A feet tall.

litical editors could do. A political organ that Is merely an appendage of a political party not part of Its leadership, Is q different kind of political organ than the real thing.
 How political organs fare nowa- days was shown In Chicago a short time ago, when one of the great dallles-- make your own guess as to which one 1t was--trled 10 lead the party instead of merely renecting 1t. Be it said that tho Chicago daily at least takes itself seriously in this respect and fights with vehemence that is nearly unparalleled in modern American journalism.
 The Chicago paper set itself the task of opposing Governor Len Small for renomination on the IlAaois Re- publican ticket. For wesss this newspaper was filled with anti Small propaganda. Its editorial columns made a political punching bag of the governor and Its news columns spattered tons of mud at him In the guise of news" The result was that Governor Small was renominat- cd by large majority,
 When the issue In Indiana be- came who was to be appointed as a successor of the late Senator Ralston the two leading Indianapolis newspapers got into an old-time po- litical fight as to who Governor Jackson should appoint. Each paper had its pet candidate and each fought" for him with political edi- torlals and propagandaized news columns like Kilkenny cats. It was this fact that caused Governor Jack son to spring the surprise he did when he called on dark horse for the appointment. The governor de- cided to ignore the pet candidates of the two political organs and named Lawyer Robinson.

chanlcal contrivances in which the A. T, & T. has no interest but at tho moment we do not recall them.
 Thls species of inter-ownership of the stock of various corporations by other corporations Is not peculiar in the telephone, telephone appliance or radio field. A good way for equip ment companies to do business is to have stock in equipment consuming concerns or yico versa: or for both to have similar New York bankers, who alternately float the stock Of one or the other concern and natur- ally want 10 see them prosper. What Is more natural than have them do business with one another regard less on a sort of you tickle me l tickle you" basis?
 There arc railroads and trolley companies which virtually are de- barred from buying equipment in the open market because of such ar engagements.
 One large rubber concern owns a rubber producing company which is not identified with the British rub Der producing trust. Its product comes from the Dutch rubber-grow- ing possessions. Consequently sixty per cent. of its rubber Is secured outside of British trust channels But does that mean 1t buys the rubber at lower price? The rubber pro- ducing company, owned by the rub Der consuming company, merely charges its parent company the full market price. The extra profit-all the traffic will bear-then first goes into the coffers of the child com pany and then finds its way to the parent company.
 Innumerable similar incidents could be named. The holding com- pany system is fine way to main- tain prices and at the same time prove from the books that every thing is done according to legitimate business methods.
 Some large concerns boast that they produce their own raw ma terial. But 1t Is invariably done through ownership of separate producing company and the full market price is paid for the pro- duct, just as if they did not own any producing companies. This being the case, the difference to the public approXimatcs the difference between a hairs breadth and the breadth Of hair.

 Q. Who is the American Minister to the Dominican Republic and when was he appointed?
 4. Mir. William w. Russell. He was appointed from the District of Columbia on August 16, 1915.
 Q. Can you give some method of determining the amount of cotton In a linen cotton mixture?
 A. The United States Bureau of Standards gives the following tests: Soak a piece of the fabric in 10 per cent sulphate of copper solution for 10 minutes. Remove and rinse we'll. lmmerse In a 10 per cent solu- lution of yellow prussato of potash. If linen Is present 1t will be colored copper red. while the cotton remains uncolored. Using the sulphuric acid test (Kindt and Lehnert), free the material from dressing. then im- merse 1t (air-dry) fin concentrated sulphurlc acid for one to two min utes. Remove and rinse well. The cotton with this treatment dissolves almost completely, the linen remains nearly unaffected.
 Q. Are seals and seal lions the same? What constitutes their prin- cipal foods? Do they really possess any intelligence?
 A Snnl Ia q n anilDtir ous mammal and commonly the name Is applied as well to sea lions, sea elephants or sea leopards. The chief food of the sea lion is the shell fish, but when put in captivity very young 1t has been taught to take milk from a nursing bottle. It is probable that it can be taught to like various things, although in Zoos they are fed fresh whole fish. They are easily trained and show remark able intelligence.
 c. Upon what is the horsepower of an engine reckoned?
 A. This depends upon the mean effective pressure on the piston, the area of the piston, the stroke and the number of power strokes per minute.
 Q. What Is quicksilver? A. It is another name for mer- cury, d metallic element that has been known since ancient times. It is found in small quantities in the metallic state, but sulphide cinnabar with S6.2 per cent mercury is the most common ore mineral. Mercury ores are found in formation ranging from the Ordovician age to recent periods and in many different kinds of rock. Igneous rocks are often more or less closely associated with the ore. The ores occur in veins dis examinations, or as irregular masses with silica, calcite and bitumen as commonly associated minerals.
 Q. What is the approximate weight of coke per cubic foot?
 A. Coke piled loose weighs from 23 to 32 pounds to the cubic foot.
 Q. Can you tell of any way to clean garments with gasoline with out leaving spot on the place cleaned?
 A. Take one-half cupful of con- mon salt, or the amount needed, and drop enough gasoline on 1t to make the salt moist. Put a pinch ofSthis on the soiled place and with a small piece of cloth rub until the spot is removed. Then have ready dry towel and continue to rub until the place is entirely dry which will only be a minute or two. No circle of gasoline should remain with this method of treatment.

TOO MUCH IRON FIST
 .\T DAMASCUS

Criticisms against General Sar- rail. inc French high commissioner in Syria. appear to 0r very severe in London: it might be well if President Doumcrguc and Premier I'ainlcvc of Franco joined in the criticism to tho extent of recalling lhis military commander.
 Sarrail is one of d type of mill tary man who has an idea that the iron fist is the worlds greatest ci,i}izrr. Thc bombardmcnt Of Uamascus killed between 1000 and 25.onO people, mostly innocent dwc1crs therein who were not greatly interested in either Arabian riots or French suzerainty, In parading tho bodies of executed brigands on the backs of camels through the wrecked streets of Da- mascus, General Sarraill erred on the side of deccncy and judgment.
 The trouble in Damascus would indicate that the Druse rebellion so tailed. has bccu spreading, after having been put down in the Jebal ara. The rebellion is confined 10 Arab tribcsmen, who are good horse m,n, camel riders and guerilla fight CTS It is difficult 10 see why the general population or center like Damascus should be made 10 suffer nn account of inc general opposition ur tribesmen 10 the French man. date. The British criticisms against Sarrsirs methods seem 10 be entire ly justified.
