'. RE GAS" GOES
Use ll.700. 900 Gallons In conneeti-
 cut In Six Months

Gasoline enough to propel them 647,- 393,5o0 miles, or to the sun and back to the earth three times. with much to spare. was bought for automobiles in Connecticut during the first six months of this year. according to figures an- nounced by the state motor vehicle de- partment. If the traffic were to have been evenly distributed over all the public roads in the state. improved or unimproved, 53.949 motor vehicles would have passed over every mile throughout Connecticut during that period
 These statistics are based on an av- craze motor efficiency of twelve and one-half miles tn the gallon. which has been determined by the American Re search Foundation as representative of motor vehicle traffic in the United States Motor vehicle gasoline con- sumption in Connecticut in the half year ended June 30 reached total of approximately 5l l.7gl 400 gallons. and the states income from the gasoline tax amounted Co about S5l7 7.9i4, which by law was turned over to the state highway department for highway im- HtHNtiHtiiASs AL ANt UdNlufAi fAtt hi motor efficiency. the gasoline bought at Connecticut stations was sufficient Co carry motor vehicles 647 ,393 .500 miles, which is more than six times the mean distance between the sun and the earth. Since there were 225. .ss4 motor vehicles registered in the state in the first six months. that would indicate that the average mileage of each mo- tor vehicle did not exceed 2.s00 miles during that period and that the aver age consumption per car was 229 gal Ions, as against 373 gallons average consumption for motor vehicles of the country for all of last year.
 The quantity of motor vehicle gaso- line bought in Connecticut during each of the first six months of this year. was as follows: January, 6.595. 800 gallons; February. 5.32S.500; March, 7,26l .000; April, 9,6l4.000; May. IT, 29l ,000; and June (estimated to cover late returnsl, I1,700.000.

BATTLE AT KEAcHs POND
Two Big Turtles In Fight to th.
 Death

The fight of the Chinee and the Coon; the battle of the lobster and the crab these are nothing new, but a set to between a couple of large fresh wa ter turtles is the latest in up-to-date warfare. Yet there is always some- thing different coming up, and the tnr- tie fight in keach's pond, witnessed by Putnam man, a member of the lodge of kiks and known as a truthful gen tleman, Is the last minute in fight con tests.
 The Putnam man. who Youches for the story, was fishing in the pond just over the Rhode Island border, Mon day afternoon. Suddenly his attention was attracted by commotion not far from his boat He was astonished when he saw the two turtles in mortal combat, and moved closer to the ring side and found that blood was flowing from both of the belligerents.
 There was no rest and no seconds. It was a lonesome duel in the muddy water and was fought with the iron jaw. One of the turtles would sudden ly extend his neck, his jaws would fly apart and come together with q snap and as he backed away a vulnerable portion of the other turtles anatomy would be torn off and the blood would flow from another wound. The battle was still on when darkness fell.
