AUTOS TAGGED
Nearly IS. 900 Motor Vehicles Ticket
 ed by State Police

l Nearly fifteen thousand motor vehi- cles have been tagged in Connecticut l by the state police in the past nlhe months for defects IF equipment, chiefly as to headlights, according 10 l information which the state motor vehicle department has furnished 70 Secretary of the State Aaron Il. Grout of Vermont
 This system. the motor vehicle de
 partment reports, has worked out sa- l tisfactorily. It puts upon the motor ist the burden of seeing to It that his headlights are in proper focus and otherwise in conformity with the state
 reauirements IL supersedes plan
 tried out for awhile last year under
 which headlight tests for the general
 nublic were made by the state police
 in their several barracks throughout
 the state. The state police depart ment found that this activity required
 the attention of more of its men than it could spare from other police dutles' and the tagging method was inangh- rated. They began tagging Vehicies found on the highways whenever any thing wrong was discovered as to theh
 equipment. "a, In thus tagging a car, the pohSV "ii'
 cer gives the operator tag, or leav.
 es one in the car. and keeps a stub of
 the tag in each case showing the
 registration number of the ear and
 what apparently is the matter with fine equipment. This notation core sponds with that written on the tag left for the use of the operator who is expected to have the improper con dition remedied and to notify the
 state police headquarters at the earh- est possible moment that this has been done. When this assurance N not received by the state police within q
 reasonable time, the department takes l il upon itself to check up the ear in
 question. The plan is believed to have leliminated much of the headlight glare menace.
 IL was in connection with proposal
 to formulate a new plan to deal with the headlight situation in Vermont
 that the secretary of that state made inquiry as to the procedure followed in Connecticut

Hartford. March 22-The leaders
 of the two principal political parties in the state are giving attention to the
 possibility that Connecticut may be given another congressman under the new app0rtionment bili which. t is expected. the present congress will enact before 1t adJourns. The ques- tion is asked what will the general assembly do in providing a constitu- eney for the sixth congressman? Will 1t redistrIct the state or will it create the position of congressmen-at-larg
 If It does the latter the general as sembly will be merely doing what its predecessors m the past have done.
 But it must be said that those in both
 parties who aspire to congressional
 honors prefer the redistrictIng of the state and increasing the number of districts to six. Connecticut congress- men prefer to represent a district, with its limited area, than to be the representative of constituency whose boundaries would be eoinci- dent with those Of the state. \ dis triet which would be fifth or a sixth of the state affords a congressman
 better opportunities to cultivate more intimate relations with his coustitu- ents than could conveniently exist in constituency which would have ! territory as large as the state itself. IL Is well known that t was the pre- ference of Congressman fIlson, who was at the time congressman-at-lar for a district having limited area which induced the general assembly to abolish the position of congress man-at-large and divide the state in- to five districts. Colonel Tilson felt that in d district he was at home to
 every elector while as congressman at-iarge he was a comparative strang- CT to large number of his constlzu- ents The Second district, made up of the lour eastern counties, has a larger territory than that of any other district in the state though in popu- latien Ii k fourth. Il is possible that in any plan of redistrieting which may be adopted the Second may lose some territory. This would not neees- sarily mean that it's population would
 be reduced. Its loss of territory could
 be made up by the addition of some
