Modern weather forecasting at pres

observations at stated intervals to the
Weather Bureau. From these reports
expert meteoroiogists fashion the
weather maps, creating from the OBJ
servations given them the areas OF

tons and velocities and the other data
which are to guide them In forrnulat-

I can remember now the
editorial that appeared in one
Of the most sedate and respected
Of our newspapers, taking him
to task for his foolish statement.
IL Was the one sided view of

editor. A three-year war was

Kitchener is dead, but kitch-
ener was right.
He was not q very brainy

ers found him rather dull and
listiess; men who conversed with
him were embarrassed by his
mental slcwness. ! will venture
TO say that the editor who wrote
that article criticixins him was
far more than his equal in all
round intelligence. But kitch-
ener's teachers noted one bright
spot in, his otherwise indifferent

fought and overcome abuses which were both
old and firmly established. This we did at the
risk of losing popularity. And yet popu-

At the very start of our administration we
had to take action against undesirable civil

BORDER ROAD BILL
 NOT SATISFACTORY Town Plan Commission DiSap.
 proves Enacted Measure MILK GRADE STILL HIGH
State Agent Collects Good Samples - Charles Elliott Dies - Scarlet Fever Causes Death of Child - Bishop Ache<on Here Tonight.

The bill dealing with boundary streets and adopted by the present session 0. the state legislature Is unsatisfactory to the Plainville town plan commission, at whose instiga- ton a bill was introduced. The adopted statute, which was subst!- tutei for House Bill No. 45s as in- troduced by Representative Robert E. White, and the substitution has not been met with the approval ot the local planning body.
 The new law provides that when improvements are sought on q street lying between two towns, |, the two towns involved are unable 10 agree on whether the work should be done or how 1t should be paid for, the matter is 10 be brought before a judge ot the superior court. This judge shall then give reasonable mo- tlce to both parties and, 1, he finds the work should be done is 10 order it, fixing the proportion Of expense to be paid by each town.
 The main objection ot the Plain vile commission is 10 the provision that the matter be taken to a court. Not only does this entail a delay of anything Up 10 year or more. but .t will also make the proposed im- pro0ements more expensive This increased cost, !t Is believed, will make 1t actually cheaper for q town to go ahead and make the improve ments and pay for them Itself. Courts. in the experience of the local planners. are expensive. and they do not relish the new legislation. Flain- Vile has numerous streets which are covered by the bill. and 1t Is not known yet what action will be taken concerning them.

 0F WATER SERVICE. New Britain Officials Set Local tz,.. Fears at End OLD PISTOL DISCOVERED
Dog Licenses Still Slow In Coming
 Tn As End of Month Draws Near Date For Mems Lyceum Silver
 Anniversary Banquet Changed.

Reports from the New Britain water department have laid at rest fears Of Berlin that the present water situation In that city which has been described as unfavorable to immediate expansion, would In any way deprive this town of water service.
 The New Britain officials have de- cided that Berlin's daily water con- sumption does not seriously affect the New Britain supply and that. considering the effects of cutting the extension of the service from this town, the step would not be taken at any time. The New Britain of- ficials' statement has relieved anX- icty in the minds Of many Berlin ties and especially of those town fathers who at one time feared that the nearby city might find 1t neces- sary to discontinue the service be- cause of 8 shortage.
 The discontinuation of water serv- ice to this town would cause con- siderable expense if. as seems im- probable at this time, the Hardware City found 1t necessary to keep It's water for home consumption. Link ing the present system with another nearby city, presumably Meriden. or the establishing of a local water works, would necessarily follow any such action by the New Britain board.
 smoke Fills Stearns House
 Indications of another disastrous fire alarmed the residents of the home of Harold Stearns of Worth inston ride yesterday aftRnoon when smoke poured through the house in manner which indicated rapidly spreading flames. Town Clerk Arthur L. Woodruff, upon be- ing notified of the conditions. sent in a call to the New Britain fire de- partment which sent Master Ne- chanic F. G. Burke and Fireman Robert Smith to the scene.
 Examination of the entire house disproved the theory that a fire ex- isted and the smoke was laid to a choked chimney which caused a back draft to send the smoke through the house.

 The condition of R. o. Clark Of East Berlin was reported today as being somewhat improved. Mir. Clark was taken suddenly i'll at his home on Tuesday evening. and has caused considerable anxiety to his many friends since his attack. He has been extremely active of late in community work as well aa in business circles and 1t is thought that he has felt the strain of over work.
