I'M any transportation system, and
picturing the automobile owners as
members of a great cooperative road
building society, c. M. Babcock, COM
missioner of highways, in his recon-
.nendations to the Legislature urges
that funds be provided for more per-
nanent highways so that our road
maintenance bill and our automobile
operating bills may be reduced.
Mr.. Babcock this week transmitted
his recommendations to Governor
Christianson in advance of the pub
lication of his complete biennial re-
port To provide more funds for
new construction, he advocates:
That the gasoline tax be increased
from two to three cents per gallon.
That the basic rate on licenses be
increased from "a per cent to the old
rate of 2.75 per cent, and that the
minimum of $12 on small cars and SIS
on large cars be restored.

Other recommendation for legisla-
zion affecting the highways include the
following:
Revision of the state traffic laws.
Establishment of a state highway

Requiring all vehicles to carry
Nights at night.

Any use without the other, and we
should strive to keep a proper rela-

vehicles and for roads. Unlike the
railroads, that are required to raise
capital by selling stock or bonds for
trackbuilding before they can oper-
ate, the automobile owners have put
most of their capital into cars, and the
state is expected to finance highway
building through contributions made
as d small part of the cost of operat
ing their cars.

Nutrition Leaders Meet

The Local Leaders Class for the
Nutrition Project now being held in
Redwood County by the Extension
Department of the University of Min
nesota was held Wednesday, January
9Th, at the high school building. There
were seventeen women present, rep
resenting the eight groups from the
northern part of the county. The
resignation of Mrs. Mason from Hon
ner Township as president was ac-
cepted and Mrs. Wesley Mckay of
Kintire was elected to take her place.
Mrs. Rogers of Delhi and Mrs. Stell-
emacher of Kintire were appointed as
the committee to prepare a song,
stunt or other entertainment for the
next meeting Also each group was
asked to try to write a nutrition song
for use in all the groups, The morn
ing was mostly given over to re-
ports from each group. These re-
ports and the discussions arising
from them are most helpful and are
an inspiration to the other leaders.
The growth charts for the children
were examined and it was found that
nearly all the children in these de-
monstrations either did not gain or
lost weight over the holidays. Miss
Hobert says that this is to be ex-
pected on account of the excitements,
the later hours and the food and candy
eaten at this time. At noon the wo-
men bringing their lunches combined
them and had a picnic dinner with
Miss Hobart as guest. This noon hour
together makes an excellent opport-
unity to become acquainted with the
women from other parts of the Coun-
ty. The afternoon meeting opened
with nutrition song by all the wo-
men. Miss Hobart, the Nutrition
specialist, from the University Ex-

tension Department, gave the lesson
on "Child Feeding" Because the
mothers diet influences the future
health of the child, the prenatal and
nursing diet are of first consideration.
The infants schedule and the import
ance of establishing good food hab-
it's at the start were emphasized, the
pre-school childs food needs were also
fully considered. At the next meet
ing, February LIST, at Redwood Falls,
Miss Hobart will tell the women how
to get the children to eat the proper
foods and will take up the food re-
quirements at different ages.

THE BUILDING "S!JNP"

What is this building slump We
are hearing about, anyway? When
it is analysed in this city it is
found that what It means is less
building than last year
Last year happened to be boom
year. One of the reactions of
boom year is that all following years
are compared with the boom sta
tistics.
This is not exactly fair apprais-
al. Compared with last year there
is less building going on in New
Britain; but that does not mean
there is little building.
Building in this city this year
remains considerably above the aN-
orase of the last ten years This
means there is still plenty of build
ing operations"

spector that during the present re-
action from last year there are
more violations OF the building or

ment was constructed on Broad

This result never fails following
the construction of what the public
generally terms as "a fine pave

street has been much more common
since the new pavement was laid
down than when the old one existed;

Such little difficulties arise on bad

All OF which does not mean that

from it. But in addition to well

than in any other and it surely is
the city's business to avoid endan-

THE FINAL PLEAS FOR
CLENIENCY

The succinct statement of Henry
Ford on the Sacco-Vanzetti case
does the motor magnate credit. In
making his statement he is in line
with what liberal thinkers and news
papers the country over believe in
connection with the radicals. Ford,
credited with being the richest man
in the world, naturally has no SYM
pathy with radicalism in any form;
but he does not permit the personal
views Of Sacco and Nanzetti 10 inter
fere with his clear Judgment regard
ing the inadNisability of executing
the two men. Ford gave good rca-
sons for believing Communication Of
sentence is advisable.

when possible, in order to make
observations.
Then arises the question:: What If
a large new continent is discovered?
How would man take advantage of
its riches, if any? Suppose that on
this continent there is undeniable
evidences of mineral wealth? Would
man attempt to conquer the climate
its riches to his already large
store? How could it be done? Would
radio communication be an aid to
such outposts of civilization in the
frigid wastes?
From the tip of Cape Horn to
the south pole is $500 miles. From
the tip of New Zealand to the pole
is nearly 5000 miles. Half of the
distance in both instances are froz-
en- most of the time, a short sum-
mer giving way to ice packs ex-
tending nearly 500 miles. The ant
arctic continent, if there is suffici-
ent land in the interior to be
termed continent, is surrounded
by walls of ice, and in the interior
are, so it is said. mountains of snow
and ice. A more forbidding section
of the earth for exploration does not
exist; the north polar regions are
deemed comparatively easier of &C
cess.
But man, having the speedy air
plane at his command and distance
conquering radio at his disposal, is
better equipped than ever before in
human history to laugh at the OBJ
stacles Of nature. Byrd is the type
of man to make every invention,
every trick of science, count against
nature. To make a good job better
the postponement of the south polar
iaunt for another year will make its
results far more comprehensive.

LINKING Up THE POLICE

The system of typewriting-tele
graphing, or ''teletype," which has
been identified with newspaper Of
fees for several years, is making
Roadway among the police depart
ments in the state, and Connecticut
is to be the first of the common
wealths to have the police depart
ments in the various cities linked
together in constant flow of in
formation trucking over the sys-
TEN OF wires and recorded in the
respective police departm upon
a typewriter. Thus information from
any police headquarters to the
headquarters in any other city will
be given to all of them instantan-
eously. The enhancement of effici-
ency throughout the police depart
ments of the state is self-evident.
New Britain will be among the
cities thus linked up, and so far
three cities-Hartford New Haven
and Meriden have the machines in
stalled. The others will be Wilt
mantle, Manchester, Middletown
Naugatuck, Danbury, Stamford,
Norwalk, Bridgeport and Waterbury,
Ansonia, Derby and Shelton will be
linked up with a separate loop.
The system is but part of the
advancement made in automatic
helps in police work in recent years
New Britain at considerable cost has
installed a red light system of call
ing policemen while on their beats,
which enables headquarters to COM
municate quickly with the police in
outlying sections when their atten-
ton IS needed The escape of GRIM
inals out of the city is thus made
more difficult.
Now we soon are to have instan-
taneOus communication between the
leading police headquarters of the
state, which ought to be Of i'm
portance in the battle against law
breakers. 1t is a pleasure to know,
too, that Connecticut is the first
state in the Union to be so honey
combed with a special police loop.
1t means, if anything, that the vari-
Gus city police departments of the
Nutmeg state have been quick to
realize the value Of saving telephone
| and telegraph tolls by possessing an
instantaneous means of communica-
ton. 1t means, however, that some
LlieutenanE and sergeants will need
to learn how to operate Il typewrit :
er. One can sympathize with the
bluecoats who heretofore have been
| above doing such highbrow work.
