SAY DOG VACCINATION
 REDUCES RABIES

Paris, R)-vaccination of dogs has done much to stamp out rabies. it was agreed by scientists attend ing a recent rabies congress at the Pasteur Institute.
 Japan, Italy and the United Stat es, it was said, had vaccinated sev- eral hundred thousand dogs. The results have shown that dogs so treated developed rabies in only a small percentage of the cases. This vaccination. however, is said to give only temporary protection. It must be repeated every year to be effective.

THE BANKRUPTCY RECORD

Coolidge prosperity can scarcely

bankruptcies day being filed at
the Office OF the United States dis
trict court in New Haven, which
has jurisdiction throughout Con-

mate that the 1927 totals will ex-

1926, which was the largest number
for Connecticut since the enactment
OF the federal bankruptcy statutes
in 1898.
In the days before political pros
pcrity was rampant the annual
average was around 900: some
years lower. Since 1919, however.
there has been steady increase
with about IS per cent Of the petit
lions filed by individuals.

SENATOR MLEAN READY
TO QUIT

Senator Mclean is nearing the
age OF 20 years. He has seen 16
years of service in Washington and
is now the dean OF New England
senators. As he looks around the po-
litical horizon and notes the type of
men most heard from along the Po-
tomac nowadays he is ready to re-
tire.
The senator may come by this de-
sire naturally, having had an itch to
rclinquish his political career in
1922. when he stood for reelection
only because the states Republican
leaders insisted, regarding him as
the strongest available candidate
for an off-year. He justified this
confidence by winning with 10000
plurality. The same pressure cam
not be exerted by the political lead
ers In 1928, as that will be a presi-
Dental year, which always helps
Republican candidates in Connecti-
cut.
AS Senator Mclean gazes about
him he must be somewhat disatis-
fled with continuing In public life.
He is somewhat old-fashioned,
quite conservative, given to saying
little. What must be his emotions
upon noting that blatant agrees
siveness and self advertisement
seems to have the call in political
life just now. When he reached the
Senate he did not make more
speeches the first term than any
newcomer ever made before him:
he was content to listen and learn
a bit first and talk little afterward.
The new school of politicians un-
questionably proves irksome to this
old master. He has beautiful
home in the hills and rest and
quiet seem to beckon His native
good sense Is telling him what to do
next.

ILLTTERACY IN WATERBURY,

Misery loves company, SO It's said:
hence New Britain Is inclined to ex-
change mutual sympathy with its
neighborine city of Waterbury re-
gardiug the illitcracy record noted
there by DR.. Winthrop Talbot. Wat
erbuTy, DR.. Talbot declared. stands
second in the state in the illiteracy

One writer in Waterbury has hit
the reason on the head The evening
schools fail to reach the illiterates.

learn to read and write, because as
q rule they are TOO tired after q

VANDALS IN THE COUNTRY

The time of year is soon here
when to take an automobile ride
into the country becomes as natural
as admirins the pleasant weather.
Judging by the number of automo-
bile accidents the time is really
here, but this is a little deceiving.
In about month will be the finest
time of the year for week END trips
and then the roads will be crowded
with flivvers and their kin.
1t Is timely, therefore, to call at
tention to one of the evils Of auto
MODELLING into the country which
could easily be rectified by the
autoists themselves. The blossoms
and wild flowers along the roadside
and in the fields help to beautify the
scenes all autoists love to behold.
To pick them has been declared
little short of vandalism.
The spring flower is entitled to
remain upon its stem. Plucking
boutonniere, transplanting ferns or
conifers means the extinguishment
of a beauty that nature Intended for
human eyes. Merely picking these
flowers for the sake of doing so
leads to a bare landscape.
The average human loves wild
flowers: but this love should not be
so violent as to destroy them
ianking them up by the roots
means their entire elimination.
There are already less of them
every year. II nature vandalism
continues unchecked the time may
be not far distant when not even
wild flowers will be with us as a
partial recompense for the sight Of
the ugly billboards lining the high
ways.

CHOPPING DOWN TREES
TO WIDEN ROADS

1t has been announced by the
motor vehicle department time and
again that most automobile acct
dents occur along straight stretches
OF highways.
Few drivers are so reckless as to
attempt to loop the loop around
machines ahead while going around
a curve. They wait for the straight
road ahead before gambling with
fate.
The state highway department,
however, with more money to spend
on road widenings and straightcn-
iuss than is good for the public
in some espects-believes in
straight roads and plenty OF them.
This in itself would not arouse
much objection were 1t not for the
practice of the department to chop
down fine old trees along the roads
in order to widen Or straight
en- the road a few feet.
Result: The fine appearance of the
highway is ruined and the road Is
made more dangerous than safe.
The state forestry department
tries to conserve and plant trees
while the highway department
chops them down, although at the
same time planting" some few
hundred trees every year through
out the state. saplings which will
benefit this generation very little.

THE BOSS OF WATERBURY

We are inclined TO agree with the
Waterbury Republican that the
state Roraback machine can do
nothing more calculated to increase
the Democratic strength in the
brass city than its designation Of
Senator +. Goss of the 18th district
as the boss of Waterbury.
At the last city election Water
bury went Democratic by around
1900 votes, and Of the four state
legislators elected from that city,
three were Democrats.
In spite Of this, however. Senator
Goss OF Waterbury has been desig-
mated as the voice of that city and
the grand old party in Hartford has
given it ou, that what Senator Goss
wants for Waterbury goes; conse-
quently Goss has everything up his
sleeve from ripper bill to how the
city should conduct its private
affairs; and everything gets the
explicit approval Of the immortal J.
Henry.
Says the Republican: Every
time that Mr.. Goss Yields the Rora-
back big stick to cudgcl this city
into taking what he wants it TO
have, he strengthens the Demo-
cratic hold upon a city of which he
is supposed to be the Republican
leader. II is not at all inconceivable
that at the next state election even
the / 18th senatorial district will send
a Democrat to Hartford
