Automobiles are so human.
They smoke, they skid, they

Sometimes they stall.

Jazz Drivino PASSING


Jazz driving is going the way Of
bobbed hair and the hip pocket
flask, according to those who are OBJ
serving the average motorist.
This is pleasant news. 1t means
that women drivers will enjoy the
advantages of much more respect
from men drivers. Insurance rates
should go lower eventually. And
there should be more room in the
hospitals for people who deserve the
best of care.
jazz drivers thought they could
get a kick out of one finger driving,
onewheel turns and four-wheel
shakes. but about all they got out Of
it were broken necks and wrecked
bank balances.
Syncopation is safe enough for
music. If you don't like jazz you
can go into the library and close
the door. But if you don't like Jazz
driving you've got to take the ditch,

TAXES NOT NEEDED
Additional Lcvies By French Cham Der Unnecessary If Economics Are Endorsed By Both Houses.

Paris, March lS,-None of the new taxes voted by the chamber Of deputies 10 balance the budget and which caused such commotion in the French business world will be needed If the senate first, and then the chamber. endorses the economies which the budget committee of the upper house has effected.
 The committee now has complct- cd it's examination Of the eNpcndi- ture section of tho budget as sub- mittcd by the chamber, and has piled the axe 10 such good purpose that 1t has reduced the total eX- penditure from 34,140,OOO,OOO francs 70 32,4S9,O 9,O00,0OO. This represents total economies of 1,G5S0OO,O GOO francs, which exceeds by 59,OOO,O0O the amount required for the iq- creased pay of officials and pension CTS and other new appropriations voted by the chamber,
 While the senate may be expected to accept most of the cuts recom- mended by its committee, the cham Der certainly win not do so without struggle, and there is likely 10 be lot of hard bargaining between the two houses before the budget is finally voted.

GASOLINE STATION
 HEARING THURSDAY
Motor Vehicle Dept. to Review k Standard Oil Petition

Acting for Motor Vehicle Commls- sloner Robbins B. Stoeckcl, Deputy Commissioner Snow has arranged for . hearing to be held tomorrow morn ing at l0:S0 o'clock in Room 55 Of the State Capitol, to hear the claims of S2 West Main street property owners that construction and main tainence of gasoline filling station at the O'Connell site will 'imperil the safety Of the public"
 The hearing will precede a mo- tion of the demonstrants that the commissioner reconsider his action of several weeks ago and withdraw . permit issued the Standard oil Co. for the sale of gasoline at this sta ton.
 Douglas A. Johnston, -yho has been representing the iacrcsts of those who oppose the station. was advised today of the hearing date and he Is making plans to bring a large delegation of hts neighborS 10 Hartford in an effort to impress up on the commissioner the extent of opposition manifested. Together with Fred Beloin, he is arranging for transportation Of those who have not planned to drive to Hartford.
 The remonstrants will not be rep resented by counsel. They will ar gue that the gasoline station is not necessary to public convenience as the McCarthy's station is in the next lot to the O'Connell site; that the Standard Oil station will invite traf- fic hazards by causing cars to be en- tering and leaving the street in great numbers. The double trolley tracks and the heavy traffic on that street makes the traffic problem a serious one, they claim, and the new sta- tion would constitute genuine haz- ard to the safety of the public.
 Commissioner Stoeckel signed the Standard Oil permit several weeks ago when no remonstranCe was filed to show a hazard to the public, and in explanation he said such an ob- lection was the only one his depart ment could use as grounds for re- tusal.

BUILDING BOARD ID STAY ON JOB
Will Not Be Abolished With
 Adoption Of zolinS

The building inspector will be the administrative officer under the zon- ing act, the building commissions duties will be practically the same as at present, the zoning commission will cease to exist. and the zoning board of adjustment will be a con- mittce functioning only when ap- Ipeals are filed or when changes in the Zoning restrictions are sought, Izoning commission said today in an explanation of the respective duties of the several groups which is a matter that has caused considerable speculation.
 l There was talk several weeks ago of abolishing the building commis- 1 sion as an unnecessary adjunct to Ithe city government when zoning becomes effective. Chairman Linder | defined the duties of the two de- Ipartments today in such way as to show that commissions duties to be as important as under the present scheme of city development and pos sibly more important.
 When the new law goes into ef- feet the present zoning commission will have completed it's duties and will be retired. Several of the more Iactive members will be retained as a board of adjustment. The zoning maps and ordinances will be turned over to the building inspector and he will be charged with the adminis- tration of the law. Before build ling permit Is issued, the inspector will consult the maps and ordi- nanccs. If the building is of the Itype allowed fin the rieighborhood where it is proposed to build and its uses are such as the zoning act sanctions, the application will be Tentatively approved, The applica- ton will then be given further study with regard to the building code, manner of construction, etc. The lcommissioners of building will pass lllldllN uEbl4 lllt f1ppllNotIOil t'ilt tiiS Inspector will supervise the erecting the building, requiring compliance with both zoning and building codes
 Should the inspector issue a per init for a building, in the opinion Of owners of adjoining properties i' mot in accord with the letter of inc zoning act, or should he refuse q permit without what the appican, might consider justification, an ap.
 peal may be taken 10 the board oi Iadiustmcnt and review of inc
 facts had. In the event that chang
 ed conditions move property owners
 to sock changes in the restrictions
 the board Of adjustment will bo tho body 10 which application will b' made. The manner of appeal ant
 the method of changing zoning re- lstrictions arc outlined in tho enahl ling act soon to come before the gen
 cral assembly for ratification.

State Capitol. Hartford, March IS.
 The birth control bill, so ably argued before the legislative oom- mittee on the judiciary last week, was adversely reported to the sen- ate today, Senator Shaw, of the committee said that the arguments presented on both sides were able ones, and 1t seemed from the pro- ponents that some aid could be given to certain unfortunates through legislation such as this, but the committee felt that the argu- ments against the bill out-weighed those for it, The bill was rejected without comment.
 The bill to create state realtors commission to license real estate dealers and salesmen again went in- to the discard, on an adverse report. The bill aimed to stop door-to-door peddling or soliciting for sale of certain classes of merchandise. ad- yocated by merchants last week was also rejected. As no one offered in behalf of bill to place wartime yeomanettes and nurses on the same footing as soldiers, sailors and marines as regards the state relief fund this bill was adversely report ed.

KING WILL TAKE SOUTHERN JOURNEY
Trip Prescribed by Physicians After Recent Bronchitis Attack
The Assnclnted Press.

By The Associated Press,
 London, March 1S.-King George leaves tomorrow on the southern trip prescribed by his physicians during his recent attack of bron- chitis.
 Accompanied by Queen Mary he will leave in the morning for Dover. thence crossing to Calais where the party will board the British royal train which is usually kept at Dun kirk in readiness for such occasions,
 The French government had off, fered its sumptuous presidential train for the journey through France, but their majesties prefer rcd their own, as the trip is not of an official nature. ....A .
 Arriving at Genoa on Friday they will embark on the royal yacht Vic- toria and Albert, which is already there under the care of two British destroyers. The itinerary of the Mediterranean cruise has not yet been fully arranged but probably will include visits to the Islands of Malta and Majorca, and 1t Is stated that the king will witness the Brit ish naval maneuvers off the latter place.
 Owing to King Georges infre- auent absences since his enthrone- ment in 1910, the appointment of a specialcommission to care for the business of state while he is away has almost an air of novelty, and the newspapers print at length the quaint official announcement issued from the palace yesterday in anti quated, mediaeval phraseology.
 For divers causes and consider. ations," it said, the king instructed his right trusty and well beloved counsellors," Prince Henry, the archbishop of Canterbury, Viscount Cave and Premier Baldwin, to look after the safety and good govern ment of the realm during his ab sence, empowering them to do any thing that appears necessary and eX' pedient to them except dissolve par | liament or confer ranks and titles
 Such g commission has acted only once previously during the reign O. the present sovereign, when he wen to India in 1911--but they wert frequent in King Edwards reign. i is recalled that only one privy coun cil was held under a commission throughout Queen Victoria's lont rule namely in 1898, when it wal summoned to proclaim Great Brit aims neutrality in the war betweel the United States and Spain.

Wales-Jenks Bill Not

Albany, N. r., March 1S.-The senate committee on codes, by a vote of six to five, today reported favorably the Wales-Jenks state prohibition enforcement bill.
 There seems little chance that the measure will be passed in the upper house, as some republican leaders oppose it.
 The "clean books" bill was put to death by the senate committee on codes today. The vote against reporting it was to 2. The bill, to which publishers objected strenu- ously. would have made any DOT tion of a book or magazine article the basis of prosecution without re- gard to context, Expert testimony as to moral effect would have been incompetent.

New Way to Relieve Rheumatic Pain Quickly, Discovered by Famous Italian Physicist
No Medicine to Take Speedy Relief Guaranteed by Local Druggists

After exhaustive research into the cause and treatment Of Rheumatism. science has at last discovered safe, external treat ment which has quickly relieved thousands of chronic sufferers from their torturing pain.

Mistake in Medicine May
 Have Killed Sam Dreben

Los Angeles, March 1S.-Coroner Frank Nance has announced here after an autopsy on the body of Sam Dreben, known in two hemi- spheres for his dare-deviltries as a soldier of fortune, that he came to his death last Sunday as a result of medicine enormously administered" at the office of Dr. Walter V. Brem. An inquest will be held today.
 According to Nance, a nurse at the physicians office became con- fused regarding the medicine which was to be administered to Dreben. Bottles that looked alike caused the mistake.
