 pr. Danforth took as his subject Stone Wails."' He called attention to the stone walls marking farm boundaries at Stonington and in the vicinity of New London. He ex- plained how these walls are built by placing one stone on top of two, fitting them in 50 that the combined weight of the stones helps to hold them in place. He said this is the way man should live. so that every man could lean on two others and all three be strong together like the stone wall.
 He said this principle had been discovered by Mussolini. who had discovered that individual liberty must be left in abeyance in order to promote general efficiency.
 He spoke of the change in the last 10 years in the skyline of New York from the square squat buildings to the skyscraper built on the recedine terrace plan. Man could not in. crease his efficiency without elevat- ing his purpose" he commented ex- plaining that the terrace idea has added 10 the beauty and grace ol buildings. and adding, "the cathedra has come back into its own."

The Public Utilities Commission
has deferred action an an application
of the capital Traction Co. for au-
thority to purchase new type twin
motored de luxe coach for use on
either it's Chevy Chase or Hains Point

for the new bus exceed by IA inches
the length allowed for such vehicles
under the traffic regulations. the com
mission referred the application to the
District commissioners and will not
take action on it until report is re-
ceived from them.
The new bus has no front radiator
