in the gallery will remember ''The Fast Mail" with its thrill min ute and its personified speed. The Heart of Chicago" was another rip-snorter, with more gore split to the square inch than anything heard of or seen up to that time - or since, for that matter. Those were the days when it was not con- sidered bad taste for the hero to shoot a different villain in every act and marry the saloon-keeper's daughter at the finish. The Vic torian era, it now is called.
 The titles of some of Carter's productions were printed in yester- days Herald. Careful scrutiny dis closed the fact that not one of them was of salacious or suggestive nature. Comparing them with the titles of movie shows of the pres ent day opens up significant trend of thought. We have depart ed from the ways and thrills of the "old-fashioned melodrama," but whither have we been drifting?

PIAINEILLE TRAFFIC
 PROBLEM

No town is progressive or mod ern nowadays without a traffic problem, and in this connection Plainville has been heard from. This must make it unanimous here abouts.
 Decision of the town authorities in connection with the Connecti- cut company to change the stopping place of trolleys from New Britain seems to have much to recommend it. Not the least is the fact that the new stopping place will be nearer to the parking space of the Bristol trolley line, thus obviating a long and dangerous walk between the two cars. The new stopping place will also be nearer the curb.
 But as is usual when such changes are made, there are dis senters, merchants who do not take kindly to the plan 10 allow no parking of automobiles near the new trolley stop. Pleasing every body is one of the terrors of of ficials who seek to regulate park ing or other traffic problems. It can't be done.

HONOR STUDENT WINS
 RIGHT TO S5O,OOO ESTATE
Georgia Court Upholds Legitimacy of Frank Deans, Son of
 Atlanta Broker.

Atlanta. Ga, July 15 P}-Frank Deans. honor graduate of the Uni versity of Michigan, yesterday was declared the only legal heir to the s50 000 estate of the late Robert E. Deans, Atlanta broker.

C., church, testified that he performed the marriage ceremony of the youths parents and other testimony was that young Deans was born in Augusta, Ga, in 1906, in the home of MT. and Mrs. E. B.

END OF A WRITER AA lltrIIR ER Sn

The champion thriller-maker ol them all passed away with the death of Lincoln J. Carter. Before the movies came to make thrilling a daily occurrence in every city and town in the country the melo- dramas of Lincoln J. Carter were staple product. His was no fine spun drama of subtle refnements; he went at the realities with tongs and an axe. The most lurid events ever pictured upon the stage were found in Carter's dramas; there had 10 be at least one 'big scene" in every act, and in the average four act melodrama the biggest of all scenes always came in the third. Then it was that the hair of the audience stood on end and the spines quivered in an agony of sus- pense.

MAMMOTH CAVE PARK

Mammoth cave in Kentucky is one of the wonders of the world. It is easily accessible to most of the population of the United States, being nearer to the center of the nations population - in Indiana than any other natural wonder Now that the federal government is to establish it as a national park, following an act of Congress to that effect, more will be heard of the cave and more people will be attracted to it. The government re- quires 10000 acres be given it by Kentucky, and of this there seems to be no doubt.
 For generations the Mammoth cave suffered in popularity because it was owned by an estate that could not go out of it's way to att tract the public to its wonders; and for years the estate figured in legal proceedings which did not assist it's popularity.
 So far Mammoth cave has been explored to a distance of 150 miles. Some geologists believe there are 500 miles of caves underground, and with proper lighting facilities following increased exploration the public can expect astonishing re- suits. The entrance to the vast sub- terranean recesses is situated short distance from Bowling Green, Ky, which in turn is south of Louisville. Good roads will make the new national park popular with the motoring public, and by rail it also is easy of access. The time will come when no motoring tour through the near west will be com plete without a tour of the Nam moth Cave national park. As a natural wonder it beggars descrip- tion and 1t is fine step forward to see the government operate the cave exclusively in the interest Of tourists and vacationists.

o. How can one allay the irrita-

c. How can one allay the irrita- tion caused by chiggers?
 A. The following remedies are suggest ed: After the characteristic irritation has set in, a counter irri- tant or cooling lotion should be ap- piled directly to the affected parts. Moderately strong ammonia, applied when the symptoms are first mani fest, has given the best results. Bi- carbonate of soda, or common cook ing soda or saleratus, may be sub stituted in super-saturated solution. These substances should be applied literally until the irritation subsidies. A 10 per cent dilution of carbolic acid is also effective in some cases. A dilute tincture of iodine or colo dion applied lightly to the affected parts is a good remedy in case of severe suffering.
 Q. How many kinds of teeth do humans have and what is each used for?
 A. A full set consists of 12 enam- eled chisel teeth, sharp tools with 2 points apiece, and 12 solid molars for grinding purposes. The 'chisels" are the "incisors" and the "canine" or "cuspid teeth;" and the double pointed tools are called "bi-cuspids" and the grinders are the "molars' in the back of the mouth. We cut our food with the incisors, canines, and bicuspids. The tongue carries it back in the mouth, where it is final ly ground to bits by the molars.
 Q. Is there any way to remove scorch from a woolen dress?
 A. Scorch upon cotton and linen sometimes can be removed, if the fibers are not actually burned. Wool and silk are disintegrated at low CT temperature than cotton and lin en, and can not be restored to their original condition after being scorched.
 Q. How did X-rays get their name?
 A. x is a symbol commonly used by mathematicians and scientists to designate an unknown quantity. When Professor Whilhelm Conrad Roentgen of the University of Wuertzburg, Germany, discovered a new ray in 1895, he did not know exactly what it's nature was, so he called it the x Ray, and the name has stuck even though the proper ties the ray have since been dis covered.
 Q. Will Vinegar dissolve pearls?
 A. No, the storv of Cleopatra aand Antony notwithstanding.
 Q. Did Hypatia really exist or is she merely a character In a novel?
 A. She really existed in Alex andria in the fifth century.
 Q. What does "epact" mean?
 A. The age of the moon at the mmencement of the year, thus in dicating the difference between the solar and lunar cycles.

ABD-EL-KRINrS EXILE

Exile of Abd- el-Krim to Reunion island, a small speck in the Indian ocean 3S0 miles east of Madagas- car, will keep the former Riffian leader out of mischief, but is rather harsh punishment. No doubt Krim will not suffer from want or be lacking in the niceties of life, such as are possible upon the fever stricken island; bu. for military leader who surrendered and threw himself upon the good graces of his conquerors he is receiving rather rigorous treatment. Far from his kin and the people and mountains of his native land, Krim will lead a lonely life of exile until his end. He did not commit any crimes; he merely fought for the independence of his native land.

FOREST FIRES SPREAD

 Hour in Far West.

 The latest death resulting from the fires were Mrs. Leslie Watt and her two children and Mrs. Clifford Nesbitt. They were trapped by a fire while driving in an utomobile between Banff. Alberta, and Win dermere, B. C., Tuesday.
 A fire warden who returned to Edmonton, Alberta, from the White Court district in Athabasca River, said flames travelled through tree tops at 8 to 10 miles an hour. He expressed fear for safety of some of the provinces most valuable timber

"GAS SCHOONER"
TRAVEL

Travelling from coast to coast by automobile has become popular among those with sufficient time at their disposal for this type of vaca- ton. It has been done by quite number of residents of New Brit ain in the past, and nearly all ofsus look forward to doing it sometime in the future.
 The trip of Frederic L. Fay, as sistant pastor of the South Congre- gational church, and J. William Bomba of this city, just completed, appears to have been an extraordi- nary interesting journey of more than 10000 miles. As the crow flies the trip to the Pacific and return would not be more than 1000 miles, so that at least 5000 extra miles of travel came to their DOT ton. The details indicate that $50 gallons of gasoline were consumed, and figuring this at an average cost of 20 cents a gallon, the cost for propulsive energy alone amount ed to $l1O. Wear and tear on the machine would easily double that sum. The trip gives a fairly ac- curate idea of the costs of such journey-with food and shelter not to be overlooked.
 Reports from points along the Lincoln Highway-the chief trans continental artery of motor traffic indicate there are more than 400 automobiles a day passing through the towns, autos with markers from all states of the Union. Con- sidering the other roads available there must be thousands of trans continental tourists on the high ways throughout the summer.
 As stated, nearly everyone eX- poets to be such tourist some day; until then. How long does it take to get to the shore and return?'

THE AGE OF LIGHTS ON CITY STREETS

There was time, not so long ago, when the only place for red and green lights was railroad track. Locomotive engineers, in order to show they could distinguish a red from a green light at all times and under all circumstances, had to pass a rigid examination of the eyes to ascertain whether they were subject to color blindness. The lat ter disease, as nearly everyone knows, has the tendency to make red look like green and green like red. A color blind engineer would be worse than intoxicated, so far as safe railroading is concerned.
 Now, however, the red and green lights are part of the street regu- lations of every city. and New Britain appears, destined to get even greater dose of them than it already possesses. We are al- ready "all lit up" to some extent. but if the city dads have their way and nothing or nobody is inclined to stop them we soqn will have double or treble the number of red and green lights in the downtown section we now possess. One won ders whether there are any color blind autoists in town.
 Traffic has got to be co-ordinated then put up more red and green lights, as due to our peculiar street formation, traffic cops are unable to see one another in order to ob- tain such coordination. Lights would do the co-ordinating auto matically.
 It sounds very efficient, and the scheme proposed for Main street looks well on paper. But it can be said right here without fear of sue cessful contradiction that so far as Main street is concerned there will be very little coordination when a New Haven freight train rolls along the tracks, mayhap creaking to stop and having undisputed possession of the highway. Lights or no lights such things will con- tinue to happen.

IS "CHAOS IN AIR" REALLY IMMINENT?

Secretary of Commerce Hoover appears to be unusually alarmed over the possibility of his earlier prognostication regarding "chaos in the air" becoming a reality in the near future. Congress meant to pass some sort of radio regulation during the last session, but it adjourned without taking action, the radio measure taking the count during the customary last-minute jam of ditched legislation. Radio fans have perked an attentive ear but have shown no signs of sharing Hoover's alarm. If the chaos ultimately ar- rives, however, it can be regarded as certain they will set up as unhappy a howl as the best of radios emit on bad nights.
 Now that the Department of Justice has formally stated the government at this time is without power to enforce regulations gov erning radio broadcasting, it is evil dent that the radio industry is rushing into a situation that is sure to be a deterrent to it's popularity. Six hundred new broadcasting sta- tions, it is reported, threaten to take the air" by next fall, and Secretary Hoover notes a self-evi- dent likelihood when he emphasizes there are not wave lengths enough to accommodate such an aston ishing increase.
 What would happen, of course, would be for the more powerful stations to attempt to squeeze the less powerful off effective use of the air, perhaps sometimes succeeding and sometimes failing. The fans at the dials would have quite picnic every night, and would be in dan- ger of spraining their wrists in or der to get satisfactory reception.
 One of the mysteries of radio broadcasting is why so many con- cerns are eager to spend money for the doubtful advertising value of maintaining such expensive lux uries. As conditions now are there is no income in sight comparable with the outgo. Some of the more important stations are said to show deficits running well above S50O,O00 a year. and some of the top-notch- CTS may spend more than a million a year on their pet toys. The gen. eral public gets the benefit in en- tertainment. of course, but 1t IS illogical 10 assume the companies can continue this pace indefinitely. Yet. as before stated, there are 6OO additional concerns clamoring for an opportunity to spend thelr money. Nothing like it was ever known in the history of American commerce, if radio broadcasting can rightfully be chased under this hegding.
