and so takes refuge in the signal light system. Instead of traffic po- licemen actually regulating the sit uation and calling malefactors of the regulations to time. an autoist who passes one of the fancy red lights merely finds that there is mo- body in blue around to bid him nay and he can so right on without be- ing molested. The whole system re- lies upon the public conscience not to pass the red lights: if they do they can think they are smart and no call to see the judge intervenes to convince them they were dumb- bells. That is the weakness of the lights; they talk glCwingly but there is nobody around to enforce what they say.

 Q Where did the Christmas tree originate?
 A There are hundreds of legends concerning the origin of the Christ mas tree. Some attribute 1t to Martin Luther who wishing his wife and snow covered forest, brought little fir tree into the room and covered it with candles to resemble a snow laden tree. Another old German legend makes Saint Winfred the in- ventor of the idea. It is said that in his crusade against the pagan Druids he cut down a giant oak. the symbol of their worship. In France there is a romance about a hero who finds gigantic tree whose branches are covered with burning candles and on top a child with halo around his curly head. In Scandi- navia there is a very old myth that tells of service tree. sprung from blood -drenched soil where two lov- CTS were killed by violence. On cer- tain nights during the Christmas season mysterious lights were seen flaming in it's branches and no wind could blow them out There are other legends. but it is quite certain the German emigrants brought the custom of the Christmas treo to America.

may be interested In themselves first. But when every statem ent, every claim. every deduction, is weighed and analysed. 1t will be found that there Is abundant reason to regard the objections to some features of the law and its interpre- tations with suspicion. It will be found that not only do the manu- lecturers and employers lose under 1t, but an enormous number of in- dusrial workers Will likewise be at a disadvantage, and will have to leave the state in order to obtain employment.
 Other states have compensation laws, but none to our knowledge has had such an interpreted law as Connecticut,
 No one need be alarmed that the Connecticut law Is to be scrapped or made innocuous. The plan, as we see If, is to eliminate it's incon- sstencies. Its idiosyncrasies, its menace 10 the welfare of all classes of citizens, employer and employe alike. No Just rights will be lost: {: no reasonable claims will be nulli- fed, The interpretation of the law cannot continue as it has because finally this will lead to condition wherein we will not be governed by q compensation law but by court decisions. And this is something, by the way, which labor has always op- posed.
