Archeologist Finds Visby's Trade
And Iron Works Aided Old Prestige

Why the beautiful little city of
Ffsby in the Swedish island of Goth
land held such unusual commercial
power in the Middle Ages has at last
been accounted for by archaeological
finds. Excavations in the northern
part of the town recently yielded i'm
portant remains of extensive
iron works. From the evidence arch.
eologists have concluded that during
the Middle Ages and possibly even
by the end of the Viking Age Visby
was center for the smelling and re-
filming OF iron and copper, which in
dustry contributed greatly to its pros
perity.
Pieces Of iron ore found indicate
that the ore used at the Visby works
was imported from Utoe Island, near
Stockholm. according to John Nihlen,
Swedish archeoiogist. writing in Art
and Archaeology.
Thousands OF large Stag Jumps
prove the ore had been melted in fur
naces," he states. Numerous objects
of iron also indicate that skilled black
smiths worked the metal. Finally,
certain circumstances seem to show
that the people of Gothland during
this period exported wrought iron to
neighboring countries"
'Existence OF this iron trade has
hitherto been quite unknown" Mr..
Nihlen states. Only the name Of the
street where the industry was located,
Smedjegatan or the Smiths street,
contains memory OF the time when
iron was worked on a large scale in
these outskirts OF the town.

Railroad Rate ParIey
Planned in Mid-Europe.

A step is being taken toward the@
economic reconciliation of central Eu.s
rope. Negotiations are under way bee
tween the Czechoslovak, the Austrian.
and the Hungarian state railroads to-.
include Hungarian lines in the ratee
union for transit over Triest and
Fiume. Hungary is not now in this )
agreement. AS a result Hungarian
goods pay much heavier rates, and II,
many cases are sent over to Czechosa

the goods of these countries. and ins
this roundabout way enjoy the lower
freight rates The negotiations are
proceeding in satisfactory manner,

SPEED ADVERTISING

Several automobile manufacturers need to be discouraged relative to the style of their copy. They probably have good cars selling at reasonable prices, and all that; but the emphasis of high speed, result ing in the quotation of speed figures in the ads, is not consonant with the needs of the times.
 Thus we read that the Snappy Six can go S7 miles an hour on an aver age road-prosumably around curves just as easily as not; and that inc Whizbang Eight can make 90 miles an hour without half trying. The figures are printed in signboard type.
 It may have been noticed that the two largest makers of autos have not gone in for emphasizing speed mania.
 Such publicity is encouraging at- tempts to break the law in a most dangerous manner, for nowhere are such speeds permitted.

most of Connecticut. The two kinds of wastes are mixed and then sent their way. The question before the cities Of Connecticut will not only be one of trying 10 dispose of the mixed mass of oils, acids and municipal waste, but one also as to whether it will not be better plan not to mix them in the first place.
 This city, by dint of the action of the legislature in allowing the s2,- 000,000 bond issue, becomes q sort of experimental center. It remains to be seen whether the New Britain system is to be pointed out as a model for the remainder of the state, or whether 1t is to be referred to as a costly failure.
 In order to attain to the former goal some thought and careful plan ming is necessary. The mere desire to do something is not enough; what is done must be done effectively upon the advice of experts who know what they are talking about. xe-grinding and political consider ations will be entirely out of place in such an important undertaking.

25 Fears Ago To-day

The registrars have practically
 finished their work on the registra-
 ton applications. and 2743 will be
 eligible to vote at the caucus-1915 republicans and BPS democrats. The
 total number of voters here is Go1o. There are only from 35 to 66 demo-
 crats in each of the lower wards, while the republicans can muster a scant 100 in each of the two upper districts.
 Property owners in New Britain are having brought to their atten-
 ton with disagreeable directness the fact that fire insurance companies
 are not in business primarily for their health. The rate on buildings outside the fire limits has been raised.
 It's Boss Cpson now. He lives in Berlin but he operates. here. It was Lawyer Arthur w. Upson who was the means of preventing the turn fest which was to have been held yesterday at Mountain Grove He took it up with Prosecutor klett on the basis of the law of 1875 which made any person present at a con-
 cert of music, dance. or other pub lie diversion on Sunday liable to q fine of S4. MT. klett declined to interfere, but Mir. UpSon threatened the Turner's with interference if they attempted to hold their turnfest. The Turner's, rather than have trouble over what they considered harmless amusement, called off their plans and tried to hold their exercises in Turner hall. but had to adjourn to Plainvlle because of lack of room. MT. t'pson then served notice upon the Connecticut Co. that he would permit nothing more than a band concert at White Oak on Sunday, and he had a sheriff and corps of assistants on hand to arrest the en-
 tire vaudeville company if it tried to put on it's program. Mr Epson sa,'s he represents the Christian En- deavor union.
 The fire department was called out vest erday afternoon to extinguish a
 blaze in a small building on Hart ford avenue owned by Fred Engel. The place is used as a cobbling shop
 and it appeared that the fire start

LONG DELAYED

At last there has been an an- nouncoment that the wires along South Main street will be placed un- derground in conduits provided by the city. This work, for one reason or another, has been delayed con- siderably longer than most citizens thought advisable. The city and wire companies have been lucky so far that no blind driver of an automo- bile has guided his machine into one of the numerous poles still remain- ing in the street-where the side walk used to be.
 The quicker the wires are placed underground and the quicker the poles are removed, the better citi- zens in that section will be pleased; :; and the safer the thoroughfare will be for color blind drivers.

GETTING ON THE MAP

The Chamber of Commerce could occupy a bit of it's time in an at tempt to get New Britain on the road maps, This city may be on some road maps, but many an autoist has nearly gone blind trying to find mention of this capital of inc hardware world on some of them.
 The average road map has every city in Connecticut on it's excent New Britain. Some of these mans have been published in the New York papers and from them no New Yorker could identify even a speck as indicating this city.
 Of course, we can get along with out being on road maps. But it must hurt the pride of every booster to discover that the city he boosts Is not mentioned on so many of the most popular compendiums of geo. graphical information.
 The Chamber of Commerce. if if goes into this matter with something approaching zest and vigor, would nave to communicate with the erring publishers of these maps. Even that may not help, as publishers are mo- torlously difficult to swerve from policy and principle. If the publish CTS refuse to put us on the next edl- ton of the road maps, perhaps it will be worth while learning how

BIRTH RATES

A fugitive item referred to the birth rates in England and Wales, which now are next to the lowest in Europe, that for Sweden being the lowest.
 For decades France had the low est birth rate in Europe. Despite the effort of the French govern ment to raise the birth rate, by giv- ing preferment of various kinds including government aid-to the heads of large families, the result for years did not help the rate as a whole.
 It is surprise that England and Wales now have a lower birth rate that France. If any explanation can be forthcoming it must be because of the prevailing low rate of pros- perity. Love may not be dependent upon prosperous times, but there can be no doubt that hard times be- gets caution, resulting in few mar riages and a lowered birth rate.

ROBBING PARKED COUPLES

The three robbers who have been occupying their evenings during the weekend by holding up parked automobile couples have been doing this entirely too frequently without getting caught. It seems 10 be en- tirely too easy.
 It may be time for several de- tectives to pose as spooning couples, parking their automobiles up the side roads, as is the custom, and await developments. Then it would be known definitely whether detec- tives can be robbed with impunity or whether the robbers can be detected.

BIG BUSINESS AND HOOVER

Wall street is now believed to be backing Hoover for president on the supposition he will be a safe, sane and conservative incumbent of the White House. If Wall street has really picked the commerce secre- tary for the next Republican candi- date the street is coincidentally picking a candidate who happens to be quite popular without its back ing. That he is the outstanding member of the presidents cabinet goes without saying: he has been before the public eye in a favorable light ever since President Wilson brought his personality into public view. Through his food campaigns during the great war he became widely known among women, good repute that has remained until this day. His latest identification with flood relief work in the Mississippi valley has endeared him to millions of citizens who appreciated his un- Tagging zeal. In whatever job he has been placed he has been suc- cessful. It will not need Wall street support to make him a serious con- tender for the nomination.
 It is probable, however, that in spite of Wall streets animosity to- ward Lowden because of the latters espousal of farm relief legislation. it will be found that the Illinois man is stronger than generally accepted in the east. Lowdens' chief difficulty will Ii in getting the unstinted SUD- port of his own state, where faction- al partisanship continues to rein. The Thompson machine, however, is even more opposed to Hoover than 1t is to Lowden. Perhaps it could concentrate on Dawes.
 Wall streets opposition to Dawes comes also from the fact that he has espoused farm relief legislation, Anyone having had a hand in en- couraging this is persona non grata in Wall street. Tho ce-president, himself a banker, is likewise thought of as too fiery; yet the most fiery president the nation ever had Roosevelt-was no symbol of disas- ter to the country. In truth, Wall street rather favored him.
 It is evident that Wall street is angling for somebody who will be a sort of figurehead in the White House. The street may get it's wish through the grand old party, but not if Al Smith is nominated by the Democrats.

THE DANGER HOUR

The commissioner of motor ve- hicles has again told us that the danger hour for automobile acci- dents is between 4:30 and 5:30- an annual inhibition to be extra careful during those periods of the day, we imagine.
 Most accidents, counting small collisions with little damage. no doubt help considerably to swell the total attributed to these hours. But there can be little doubt that the most serious accidents occur at night. The newspaper columns fur nish a sufficient guide.

 Q. What are the birthstones for the different months of the year? A. There are two or three diff ferent groupings. but the one sug- gested by the American Jewellers association is as follows: January, garnet; February. amethyst; March. aquamarine or bloodstone: April, diamond; May, emerald; June, pearl or moonstone; July, ruby: August. moonstone or peridot; September, sapphire; October. opal or Tourma- line: November. topaz: December, turquoise or lapislazuli.
 Q. Are kits worn by all Scotch men?
 A. They are worn only by high flanders. not by lowlanders
 o. What is quicksand?
 A. It is mixture of fine round grained sand and water. The den- sity of the sand being greater than that of water, 1t should be able to support the body of man better than water. Quicksand, however, pre- vents quick movements. so that swimming is out of the question. When people try to walk on it the pressure of their feet per square inch is considerable. and the sand gives way under this pressure. let ting them sink in gradually. When an attempt is made to lift one leg out the pressure on the other is more than doubled. Quicksand does not flow readily into void, so that in trying to lift leg a partial vacuum is formed around it. This causes the other leg to sink much more rapidly than If the person re- mained quiet. The safest thing to do is to lie full length on the sand and roll over it, or if the sand is too soft for this, to lie flat on the back. It is important to remember that quicksand is much more dense than the body and therefore your body cannot sink into it entirely provided you lie flat on the back and do not struggle.
 Q. What are the duties of a cor responding secretary of a club?
 A. He attends to all correspond ence Of the club, notifies members of appointments and elections, keeps the list of members iri short, at tends to all clerical work of the club that is not a matter of record. If the recording secretary is called upon to preside at a meeting of the club in the absence of the president and vice presidents, the correspond ing secretary takes the minutes and attends to other secretarial duties of the recording secretary.
 Q. What are appropriate notices to put on a sundial?
 A. count mono but sunny hours; After darkness. light; "I wait whilst I move"; 50 life passes"; T mark the bright hours only"
 O. What is the meaning of the Latin phrase "Veni, Vidi, Vici"?
 A. I came, saw, conquered.
