AVERAGE LIFE OF
 AUTO Is EIGHT YEARS

Although the average life of motor vehicles has recently been found to be eight years. the flies of the state motor vehicle department show that there are automobiles at least sixteen years old in operation in Connecticut today. When some of these old veterans first went into service. Connecticut had less than one sixteenth the number of motor vehicles it has registered today and there was only one car for every siNty-seven people in the state as against one for every seven peo- pie of today.
 Most of these old cars, registered as far back as 1910, have long since gone out of manufacture. but few were made by manufacturers who still turn out cars by the same name.
 The average life of motor vehie.es has been extended in recent years. Cars made about 1909 had an aver age fife of five years Beginning about 1914. the average life of ears became about six and one-half years, and the trend has been gradually up. ward
 About i9.000 motor vehicles are estimated to have been serapped in Connecticut last year notwithstand- ing an increase registration of about SS .0o0 ears in the state. Throughout the United States about i.503, GOO cars were serapped last year

More than five thousand fishermen used the state leased trout streams during the first siX weeks of the sea son which has just closed. aeeordins to report by ihe patrol service ta John N Titcomh superintendent of fisheries and game. The report which covers the period from the opening of the season on April e. to May 3t shows that the patoimpH on five dreams inspected thr catches of 5.20f fishermen. who had total of 9.9St trout
 lnasmuch as Che inspection often took place before each days fishing had been finished it IS estimated that the number of fish shown in these figures is only about quarter of the actual number taken out of the streams On the basis af this estimate nearly 10000 trout were caught dur ing the first six weeks of the season. The figures in the report on the num- Der of persons inspected are thought Co show fairly accurately the number of people who used the streams.

Letters to the Editor
LET US KNOW THE FAcTsl

Editor The Patriot
 We are told that back in 1898 cer- tain European powers undertook to bring the whole of Europe soitdly p line against the United States Why Such being the feeling against us in 1898 Is # not reasonable Co assume that. because 0f our present greater prosperity, due entirely to the folly ei the European nations. hatred for the United States has increased and that the newspaper reports of Americans being insuited in France. Scotland and England. are not misleading2
 The commercial spirit exists in eT- cry nation and. because of this fact, the feeling of the European nations against Americans has grown accord ingly.
 The writer has first hand informa- tion regarding the attitude of the French and English toward Americans and is more and more convinced that sympathy for some European nations because of their suffering. due entire ly to the suspicion and hatred of each other. is misplaced.
 Editorially you call upon the read CTS of The Patriot to draw on their imagination and put our Government In the same position of the Govern ment at Paris.
 We have the realities before us. the burden of taxation will be upon Us for years to come. We have cancelled ST. 090. 900 GOO of the war debts. England tells us that "the administration at Washington knows what the political and industrial perils of shyloekism are" and We are also told that Amer jeans do not know the facts.
 Mir Editor. do not ask us 10 im- agine anything but encourage Us to know the facts, and to get wise as to the hope of England in starting a cam. paiRn of vilification against us.

ADJUSTMENTS
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Aunt"

y
A great deal Of farce has flowed
Brandon Thomas facile quill ages
ago produced "Charrey's Aunt"
which the National Players are offer
ing this week, but the hilarious re-
ception accorded Thomas work last
night seemed to put the old style of
play-fun well up on a par with the
modern type of farce.
There hasn't been greater hilarity
in the National Theater all Summer.
This may seem like a broad state
nent to those With keen recollection
Of other recent nights at the National.
The fact that last nights audience
was young and the play dealt with
youthful love and mistaken identity
may have had Il great deal to do with
1t, but no apology need be offered in
the face Of Romano CALENDARS bari
tone performance as the aunt from
Brazil, where the nuts come from. +"
1t was a very big evening for Mr..
Calendar. He fairly revelled in the
role. which is gorgeouSly rich in farce
comedy. He approaches the inter
probation Of the eccentric million
airesS with benign smirk so ludi-
crous that at one time even the com
pany was on the verge Of n collapse.
No one need be told the story Of
the play. All one could ask is how
the parts are distributed. and the
answer to that is the answer to why
the play is going to have tremend-
OuSly successful week. John Warner
and Billy Phelps are cast as the love
sick oxford boys. and Dorothy Tier
rey and Rhea DVeley in similar roles
for the opposite sex. The quartet
manages to he delightfully."- silly.
which is just what Mr. Thomas had
In mind when he sat down to his
desk to write the play.
The soldierly shy Sir Francis Ches-
ney is played with nice degree of
fineness by the never-failing Charles
Hampden, and Mrs. Hibbard. of
course, does excellently by the part
of the real aunt. who is forced TO
stand by and see her name made
ridiculous by the bogus Donna Lu-
Cia-ROmaine Calendar.
Percy Winter, whose Lightnin
last week was one of the vivid things
If the company's career. is cast AS
Epettigue, the love-torn ancient. who
falls for the charms of the bogus
aunt. The role of Ella Is adequately
cared for by Evelyn Nichols.
Those who want TO be amused by
this old but ever mirthful piece can

broad burlesque note that WringS
