TWO months ago, I would have told you
that I was pretty well satisfied with my
smoking tobacco. I didn't know Prince
Albert then! Gee, what lot of tricks
missed without even knowing it. Never
mind. I'm making up for lost time now.
My jimmy-pipe is working double shifts.
load up the minute breakfast is
cleared away and hit it up from then
until flights out" That's one of the fine
things about Prince Albert. You never
tire of it. Each pipe-load tastes better
than the last, if such thing is possible.
know I'm set for life now.

Prince Albert is cool as dip in the
lake. No matter how hard you drive it,
you never burn out bearing. 1t is sweet
as a check in the mornings mail. Fra
grant, too, like fresh-picked flowers.
Fragrant in the tin, and fragrant as you
smoke it. Real tobacco, tell you.
Maybe you think you are all set in the
matter of smol<ings. I wouldn't stop
there. Because, if you haven't smoked
P. A., your best bet is still to be collected.
On my say-so, and that of millions like
me, why don't you try Prince Albert?
I'll guarantee you'll be glad you did.

AT LAST, ACTION ON ARCH STREET

Residents of Arch street who have been agitating for a year or more in an effort to induce the city to do something" about the street finally scored a point when they induced the mayor to lend his in- fuence and his assistance. The de- cision of the city engineer to ac- cede to the fist step necessary to widen the thoroughfare comes at a time when further delay. in view of the Honeyman building under con- struction at Arch and Walnut streets, would mean unnecessary and additional expense later.
 With new sidewalk lines at this point it means that there will be new sidewalk lines along the re- nnainder of the street in due course, as differing lines permanently would be out of the question. Property owners along the street are to be congratulated upon show ing sufficient stick -it-iveness to make headway at last.

CHEAP TACTICS BY STATE BOARD

Motor stage associations and trolley lines operating busses in Connecticut have all the moral and legal right they need on their side in opposing the effort of the state board of equalization to collect a full years taxes on gross receipts during 1925 when the law estab- fishing this tax did not go into eff feet until July of that year.
 What sort of business is this for a state to be so eager to collect tax money that it attempts to do so prior to the enactment of a law providing for the taxes?
 Retroactive laws are repugnant 10 the interests Of the public and in the opinion of distinguished lawyers are unconstitutional. The state should not be so greedy for tax money as 10 attempt anything of such doubtful legality.

HALF \ CENTURY OF HOOSiC TUNNEL

The first train having been run through the Hoosac tunnel just DO years ago, the announcement Is made that, as a means of celebrat- ing half century's use of New England's great bore it will be en- larged to permit the passage of larger freight trains.
 It may be hard for old-timers to realize that the great engineering feat in the Berkshires has seen q half-century of use. It does not seem that long ago when discus sion about it was still heavy in the public press. It required hercu- lean effort to complete the tunnel, and during it's construction it un- derwent an annual attack in the Massachusetts legislature; investiga- ton followed investigation and the evidence filled many volumes Dur ing the construction Of the tunnel improved machinery for such work was invented and first used, thic being a great factor in its final completion. At that, after repeated failures. Canadian contractors final Iy had to be called in to finish the undertaking.
 "The widespread use of the auto mobile" is what has made it neces- sary to enlarge the tunnel. It ap- pears that western automobile manufacturers, in shipping to New England. have begun packing their cars on freight trains in such sar- dine-like fashion as to make II i'm posslble for them to use the Hoo- sac tunnel route as they should like. To raise the top of the tun- nel of course would be prohibitire' but it will be possible to lower the floor of the tunnel and alter the curve of the arch in some places.

\ NEW CRISIS IN

Having just concluded a debt settling agreement with Great Britain, the Briand- -Caillaux cabi- net fell. Thus another paradox of French politics was furnished to a surprised world. The Anglo French debt settlement was regarded as a splendid achievement, and the Bri- and -Caillaux cabinet got every thing 1t wanted" the French jubi- lantly announced. But in the Cham Der of Deputies there were harder problems to crack, more unrelent- ing political opposition 10 encoun- ter, less likelihood of agreement upon public issues. Joseph Gail laux's demand for financial dictatorship in order to save the receding franc looked for all the world like the entering wedge for a more elaborate dictatorship, and the radicals would have none of it; rather monetary standard ap- proximating zero than more power 10 any cabinet officer, is their req soning. And in this, astonishing as 1t may seem, they had the support of Right Wing leaders.
 And thus Herriot again takes the helm for how long we shall see. The average life of a French min istry has been reduced from nine to three months, and it is unlikely that Herriot can put anything over in that short space of time. con- sidering the amount of discussion needed to make moderate head way.
 While the Briand- -Caillaux com bination toppled certain important world figures in finance were head eu tON dlu Guippt' oAliA thS opinion that a strong plan to but tress the franc was to be executed by financiers instead of politicians The visitors overseas are Secretary Mellon and J. P. Morgan, Benja- min Strong, governor of the Fed eral reserve bank of New York, S. Porker Gilbert, Jr., agent general for reparations payments. They will meet Montague Norman, gov ernor of the Bank of England, and NJ. Moreau, governor of the Bank of France. They probably expected to put over French Dawes plan" but their ardor may cool with Herriot back in the saddle.

MORE REGULATION AT THE CENTER

An improvement well worth while in traffic arrangements at the Center is the large "stop" signs on the Highway on the approach to the first Church street crossing, and the painting of a cross-walk there.
 Ever since the traffic department attempted to eliminate this cross walk some months ago the plan re- fused to work, pedestrians desiring 10 board Connecticut company trolley cars evidently seeing no req son why they should walk to the triangle in a roundabout manner and perchance running the risk of missing their car. Other pedestrians, desiring to walk over the triangle from there and out West Main, also saw no reason to add additional steps to the journey. Failure to pro- tect the Church street crossing from automobile passage while the red lights were on likewise dis couraged pedestrians from follow ing the more roundabout method of getting across to the triangle.
 The new ''stop" sign on the highway will tend to discourage the practice by autoists of making a right turn into Church street while the red lights are on. This practice has been an unmitigated nuisance, giving scant protection to pedestrians at perhaps the most travelled cross walk in the city. The new stop" sign is notice to mo- torists that when the red lights are on the Church street crossing is as much protected from encroach- ment as any of the other crossings around the Center. All motorists, of course, will not observe the regulation, but the majority being gentlemen while driving, will no doubt do so.

years. Q. How can a puppy be cured of his fear of bath
 A. To break a young dog into the bath habit first stand him in an empty tub and wash him with water from a separate receptacle. The third or fourth time fill the tub gradually with water. Be gentle with the animal because it is only natural that he should be afraid at being placed in something strange, out of which he cannot see. Make the first bath as short as possible. Rinse off with cool or cold water, and dry carefully. After the dog seems quite dry, let him run about the house for a time. Don't take him out soon after bath except in the sum- mer time.
 Q. What sort of clothes should a business woman wear?
 A. In summer linen, pongee or wash silk dresses made in simple styles are appropriate for office wear. In winter simple one piece cloth, jersey or silk dresses or skirts and blouses are appropriate. This does not mean that business woman should wear dull drab costumes. Ii simply means that an office is not !the place for display or for cheap limitations of evening and afternoon dresses.
 @. How did Madame Curie and her husband discover radium?
 A. Prof. Pierre Curie of France and his wife, in collaboration with NJ. Belmont, discovered radium, in the sulphate residues from pitch- blende of the Austrian mine at St. Jaochinsthal, Bohemia, which pre- viously had ben worked for the metal uranium. In this ore radium ocurred at the ratio of about one part in 3,000,00O and it was so ex- pensive 10 extract that for a long time it cost $4.5O0.000 an ounce. In apearance it is white like silver, and has a beautiful lustre that tarnishes rapidly when it comes in contact with air. Later almost the whole supply off the world came from the carnotite sands of Colorado and Utah. but recently rich deposits of altered pitchblende were discovered near Elizabethville, Belgian Congo, from which radium can be extract ed more cheaply.
 Q. What is good lotion for flea bites?
 A. Carbolic acid mixed with boric acid. Apply by dabbing with small cotton wad or by spraying it on the surface with an atomizer. To make the lotion add a level table spoonful of boric acid powder and 20 drops of pure carbolic acid to half a pint of hot water. Stir well or shake until the boric acid is dis solved. Cool before using. This To- ton is also good for the irritation caused by mosquito bites.
 Q. What is the best way to draw insects and bugs from head vege- tables. such as cauliflower and cabbage?
 A. Lay the vegetable head down in salted water for about an hour before cooking. In the case of cab bage it is best to cut the head into large pieces before laying it down in salted water.

25 Fears Ago Today

There is grave suspicion In many quarters that, to use a slang phrase, the city is getting it up the back in many of its dealings and that an effort is made to condone the weakness or incompetency Of officials on the ground that if pub | licly known it would injure the city | with buyers of bonds. At the coun- cil meeting Wednesday evening MT. Curtis openly accused the street committee of having spent money on Cherry street without the author Iity of the council and that $1,40O was spent on repairs on Henry street where $500 would have sufficed. Chairman Pinches aptly replied that if Mir. Curtis would attend the meet 1 ings of the street committee, or which he is a member, perhaps these things would not occur. It is his propensity for close examination into such matters that has brought ! MT. Curtis to the front in local poll tics, and no matter what opposition he may meet with or how often he may be defeated he seems still to | be found in the ring.
