HOW TT STARTED
" s-Eyed."
BY JEAN NEWTON.

The person who is always on the
watch, whom nothing escapes, is said
to be argus eyed" The implication
is usually that one is of a suspicious
nature, and this element is quite in
keeping with the origin of the ex-
preston.
The term comes to us from the par
lance Of mythology, Argus being the
creature of a hundred eyes who never
went TO sleep with more than two at
time. He is familiar chiefly as the
tool of the goddess Juno, who was al
ways suspicious of her husband. Jupi-
ter, and who used Argus to watch
him.
1t was his Zealousness in watching
10, Jupiter's mistress, whom the god
surprised by his wife, had turned into
a heifer, that at last brought Argus
TO grief. Jupiter, troubled at the dis
tress of 10, who, in the guise of a
heifer, had been given by Juno into
the custody OF Argus, enlisted Mer-
curry to put Argus out of the way
Leaping from the heavenly towers
TO earth, Mercury, disguised shep-
herd driving his flock, charmed Argus
with the music of his Pandean pipes
In vain, however, did he try to lull
the watchful eyes to. sleep, until
finally, with supreme effort. he re-
lated to Argus the story OF how the
pipe upon which he played was in
vented. The fantastic story, accom-
panied by. a plaintive melody from the
instrument. at last caused the hun
dred eyes to- close at once, and as
Argus nodded forward for moment
Mercury cut off his head!

4 BUREAUCRATIC BLOW AT NARCISsUS BULBS.

Distrust of bureaucratic methods In Washington has been increased fatcly by the "ordcr" of the De- partment of Agriculture that no more narcissus bulbs can be im- ported until such time as the bureau thinks they can be brought into the country without danger of importing parasites,
 The reason for the order looks logical until one is confronted with statements by horticulturists that there is absolutely no danger of par asites being brought into the coun- try on narcissus bulbe.
 Isn't there a method of spraying or treating these bulbs 30 as to Kill parasites if any exist? Millions of people have purchased the bulbs in the past and have beautilfed their homes with the flowers of their de- velopment. To be denied this priv jIege through bureaucratic methods is another infringement upon per sonaI liberty, a blow at the cultiva- ton of aesthetic beauty in the home, a serious slap at a legitimate trade and the fracture of our pleasant re- lations with Holland.

ed In New Britain If the city took
 the initiative in forcing such re-
 form, There is no logical reason
 why either trolleys or busses should
 be permitted to park around the Center, thus unnecessarily adding to the difficulties of controlling an al- ssady congested section of the city.
 And there Is no reason why the transportation companies should he given an inch of city property as an aid 10 their business. No other bus iness Arm or corporation gets free aid or free property from the city in this manner. It Is time that the city woke up to its rights and forced transportation companies 10 provide and maintain their own terminals. like they are forced to do in Spring field and numbcrless other wide awake cities.
 Councilmen and aldermen who care for additional enlightenment on q subject that already is important in New Britain and will become ln- creaslngiy important in the near future could with profit 10 them selves and the city visit Springfield and other cities where transporta- ton companies are required to pro- vide their own terminals.
 There is no more reason why city should give away part of a park or parts of streets to transportation for use as terminals than it IS logical for a city 10 give ground or a terminal to a railroad company.
 In addition, by permitting street transportation concerns to avoid | building and maintaining their own terminals the city loses such taxes as would accrue from said termin- als. Not only is the city at present giving away property rights but is cheating itself of the income from taxable property, which is made up | from taxes by other property own CTS.

SIGNS OF SPRING IN THE AIR.

Though we scarcely dare mention 1t, fearing that our temerity might cause a change for the worse, we can hardly refrain from rejoicing over the brand of weather that Is being apportioned us this spring. The last few days have furnished a gratifying breath of spring after an easy winter, causing many of the manifestations of the season 10 ap- pear some days or weeks before their time.
 It Is safe to say that the wrist and hand of the trout fisherman is twitching in anticipation of the pleasure that Is to come within a week or so. It is no uncommon sight to witness some of the hope less addicts to the sport standing on bridges and along pools on their fayorite brooks looking them over carefully to determine, in advance if possible. whether the current and the hiding place of the big one lost last summer have changed. Prob ably many a bug has been dropped in the stream to see whether there is a whirl as a trout rises for food below. There may have been a few that have attempted to fish already-but not many, despite their impatience. As general rule sportsmanship and adherence to law exist in the trout fishing fraternity.
 The botanical expert has undoubt- edly found some of the earliest blooms in spots known to himself The bird-loyer has noted several specimens on their way further north. The farmer is planning his blowing and planting.
 The housewife is laying out her cleaning program, The flapper is casting a wistful and appraising eye at the displays Of spring clothes and hats in the mercantile establish ments. Even father has about reached the conclusion that he can buy another pair of shoes and pos sibly 8 light top-coat for a Sun day uniform,
 There is time yet for some winter, but the belief is prevalent that there will be no more thIs year. Life is reawakening in higher and lower forms. Humanity, animals and vegetation alike show signs of the vernal season. Spring seems to be here, in the air and in the earth ss we'll as on the calendar.

TRANSPORTATION TERMINALS
 IN SPRINGFIELD

Instead of endeavoring to find way to hand transportation com panies a gift on 8 silver platter Springfield, Mass, thus conducts thu terminal situation, as glimpsed from paragraphs in news story in th' Springfield Union:
 With the expressed hope of driving the bus companies to buy or lease terminals on priv ate property, the Transporta- ton Board decided not to des- ignate any parking places for busscs in the public streets. s**The busses are virtually without the right to stop in city streets longer than is necessary 10 tako on and discharge pas sengers.
 This may drive four of the bus lines *' to hire the privilege of using the terminal of the Hartford and Springfield Street Railway Company *""which ConHn Bus Line, Inc, of Wor- cestcr, already has arranged to use.
 U. T. Hambleton, manager of the Hartford and Springfield company, contemplates an early start on the construction of a new bus terminal on the site Of the present one.
 "The Interstate Buses corpo- ration and Farnum Stage Line are using store at Nernsn street and Broadway as their terminal FarnVm company hav- ing :, asct the quarters for five years. It is expected that they will stop their busses at or near this terminal"
 It will be noted from the abov that the street railway company il Springfield already has a terminal O it's own, and that bus lines evidently are privileged to share its use b! payment of rent; but the terminal evidently not deemed large enougl for the future, will be enlarged. And it also will be noted that tw' bus lines have rented store propert wb,ch is being used as joint term inal.
