"rNATTENTIvE" DRIVERS

The most prolific causes of auto mobile accidents in Connecticut during 1924, according to the an- nual report of Robbins B. stoeckei' were 'rnattention" and failure to grant the rleht of way" The form CT caused 4.22s accidents, the lat ter s,5s6.
 An automobile driver is much in the same situation as locomotive engineer, but is handicapped in comparison with the latter in that he has no tracks to guide his vehi- cle. Few passengers would care to ride on a train if they thought the engineer at the throttle of the loco- motive were inattentlve to signals Yet thousands of autoists, forced to guide their machines as well af feed gasoline to the engine, are li1' attentive to road and traffic condi' lions and more accidents were caused through their neglect thar from any other single cause,
 Being road hog Is one of thf most common ailments that beset' type of autoist who Is met witt
 on every hand. The danger the! themselves take ia quite as seriou
 Az the danger they infiict upol

ANOTHER YOUTH WANTED

A Letter from Pierre Legrou

By Dr. Walter F. Traprock
 I have just received letter from Pierre Legrou, the finest trapper and guide and the best fellow In the Province of Quebec.
 Pierre is at present lunber-jack- ing in the northwest, and l give you his letter as it stands. not 50 much for its picturesque method of ex- pression as for it's testimony to the amazing quickness and presence Of mind of these hardy children Of the forest. Here it is:
 "Dere Dock, q. Write you one funny ting happen by me. Las week travel on horse tru woods den, all sudden come by one grand crevasse, she maybe two, three yard wide. say. Pierre, she no so big la crevasse. So back horse and make run an we jump, but We no make. Horse an me we fall down, down, one hun feet, two hun feet. i say Pierre, by Gar, she deep ors- vase. den 1 see bottom she come up. Wen we six feet from bottom jump off, horse she dead but don't hurt myself. only fall six feet. Toujours, P. L."
 can neither add nor subtract from this letter I can only repeat that 1t is one of the best instances of quick thinking that I have ever heard of. And Pierre refers 10 II | simply as "one funny ting" An

 only more like you ih the world

THE LOCAL ELECTION
 NEXT TUESDAY

This being an of year" i'll politics much to the satisfaction of large numbers Of citizens-there is noth- i ing in the air except an election of ] members to the Common Council. Both parties make the customary claims, which are believed accord ing to ones predilections. A good Republican" will think his party is going to get a clean sweep in the Common Council, while . good Democrat" will think other wise, especially with reference to the sixth and fifth wards.
 The sixth ward, which went Re- publican during the presidential and senatorial elections, breaking long record as stronghold of Democra- ey, is the center of interest. With no national election to have bearing upon the result 1t seems logical to suppose that Messrs Maerz, Fay and sablotsky have at least an even break.
 The situation in the fifth ward where one of the Democratic coun- oilmen is running for alderman, and N former Republican leader, B. F. Karpinski, Is running for the Coun- eil on the Democratic ticket, like wise urges interest. Karpinsky, in claiming he was given raw dear' by the organization of the Repupii' can party, evidently has the courage of his convictions and by running or the Democratic is out for revenge He has as a running mate. Franl Zapatka.
 Tn the fifth ward, Councilman Stanley Karpinsk seeks election al alderman and has as his associates on the ticket, E. A. Grysbo"skl an' Charles Munson, both of whom ar new in politics. Republican force in the sixth ward claim they have combination strong enough to giV g good account of itself if not ! win. The McDonough-M -Meskill-Da trio is working hard to land coune berths.
 But as for excited knots Of me standing on the street corners COT rsrzqg about the prospects, there al none such. There should be
 steady increase of election dlscu ~or between now and next Tuesoa however, and every citizen should his duty and go to the polls

THE CAPITAL LEVY
 IN FRANCE

One of the financial proposals that has been disturbing France is cap ital levy. To the people facing the possibilities of ten per cent capi- tai levy it looks like confiscation ana a socialistic doctrine; but to the bankers and other outsiders who hold promissory notes the plan looks like common sense and honesty. Ones point of view, therefore hinges altogether upon which side of the fence one happens to be. Premier Herriot of France is in favor of the capital levy; Finance Minister de Monzie Is opposed and has other plans. The owners or canital in France for the most part are opposed to the capital levy al- though it is related that some ot them do not object if it is definitely shown that it Is the only way ou' of the acute financial difficulties 1T which the government finds itself Outside bankers, including Ameri' cans, are believed not aVerse to sucf a scheme-in France--so long as !
 insures payment of interest on loan' and provides capital for the repay
 mcut of money advanced.
 A proposal to make a capital lev
 in the United states would create
 tremendous furore; yet some oo servers claim that the income ta' the surtaxes and heavy inhefitanc taxes in practice have about tn samp effect.
