which minimizes back pressure.
The fine limits of measurement in the new
Ford cars arc shown in the diameter of the pis-
ton pin, which is held within three ten-thou-
sandths of an inch (.00O3). An even closer
limit is maintained in the diameter of the hole
into which the piston pin is fitted. Here the
limit of tolerance is two ten.

Famed "Salt River"
 Is Missouri Stream

Bowling Green, Mo-, Oct. 31 R- The original Salt River. limbo of thwarted political ambitions, is in Missouri.
 Back in the 1S4o's "Salt River" was added to the political lexicon. and to this day Salt River" is the place where defeated candidates go after election day.
 In Louisiana. the archives of the state historical society tell. lived a Mr. Jackson, poor but eager to serve his neighbors in office-any office. Jackson was defeated in his first campaign. He moved, and neighbors who asked about him were inform- ed that he had gone up Salt River" :"
 Jackson ran other times, all un- successfully, and after each election he moved farther "up Salt River" Newspapers started the custom. It went to California with Misourfans who sought gold in 1s4s. and the joke became as famous as "oid Joe Bowers, all the way from Pike"

Meriden Man Could Hiye Saved
 $1W by Tlkins Advice

An unusual case of drunken driv- ing was disposed of by Judge H. P. Roche in police court today when Anthony Capaccio. aged g. of 2e2 Grove street. Meriden. pleaded nolo contendere and was fined $1O0 with out costs on recommendation of Prosecuting Attorney J. c. Woods. Capaccio was on Main street last night under the influence of liquor. according to Officers O'Day and Todzia. who warned him not to at tempt to drive his car. Mir. Woods told the court. A short time later. Capaccio came from . restaurant and while the officers were putting in duty calls at the box at Main street railroad crossing. he drove away. The Meriden police were no- tifled and went to Capaccio's home and took him out of bed and he was booked" at the local police station shortly after | q. m.
 Attorney Harris of Meriden, who appeared for Capaccio. had the case continued until Saturday in S2O0 bonds, but after a conference with his client, had 1t reopened and dis posed of at once. He said Capaccio had been drinking but there was a question as to whether he had be- come sufficiently sober to permit him to drive with safety. between the time the officers warned him and the time he actually came out of the restaurant and took the wheel. There was no accident caus- ed by his condition, the attorney pointed out. and he also said he wished to take advantage of the op- portunity to commend the local po- lice for their fairness in handling the case. Capaccio. being a stranF- CT in the city. might not have ex- pected to receive the courteous treatment that was given him, and it was to the credit of the local po-

'Ths lack of knowlsdee on the pat e Asmoesa&te speaksrs on mat tess c finances is illuminating" ac- cendtng to State Senator Edward F. Hall whe spoke a& . rally of the Hesvsr club last evening at club hsa1Quartsrs with about IS men present among them being many prominent in republican activities-
 Former Representative Fred o. Racklias presided. MT. Rackliffe oonfined his remarks to words in- troducing the speaker. Before sena- tor Hall began his address. . vote vas taken on motion of Henry A. Smith. te forward resolutions of sympathy to Republican Chairman William H. Judd on the death of his mother.
 Seaator Hall opened his talk by launching . verbal attack directly at Charles c. Morris, democratic can- didate for governor. He said Mir. Morris has made statements of which no one has taken any notice, or in which no one takes any in- terest.
 Claiming that many statements being made by Mir. Morris arc mis- statements, he said 1t was almost . waste of time to attempt to correct him.
 State Highway Appropriation
 The speaker alleged that MT. Morris claims the state highway de- partmsnt had overdrawn its appro- priation nearly 33.000,000. He said the democratic candidate had pointed out that this was not good financing. If 1t were true. it would not bs good financing" Hall com mented. MT. Morris did not ex- plicitly say this. but he said 1t had been reported to him. If 1t were a fact it would not be good financing. He left 1t to his audience to believe it was true. The statement has no foundation in fact.
 Mir. Morris campaign statements are 70 full of misstatements that no one pays any attention to them.
 "A woman democratic speaker here . short time ago said Connec- ticut has no state parks. such as she said Governor Smith has in New York. We have 34 state parks in Connecticut where our citizens often 70 for weekend camping trips and recreation.
 There are four parks for each county in Connecticut with total of 7.t31 acres. ....
 There is no person more danger ous than the one who knows . lot that isn't 70.
 "Mr. Morris made . statement about . lack Of money appropriated ', for welfare work and then criticised the state for spending 50 much money. all in the same breath.
 He went back to the days of Governor Simeon E. Baldwin and said that year the state appropria- tion for roads was S3,000,o0 In that year there were 13,000 automo- piles in the state. Go out on the htshways today and you'll think there are . million now. Yet the democrats say we haven't prosperity

Mr. Woods said he felt that consideration should be given to all the circumstances and Judge Roche aESeed that tho case was not . typical one.
 Capaccio said after court that he had intended to profit by the warm ing of the police but he was re- fused admittance to the room of . companion in this city by the land- lady and his finances would not per- init of his staying over night in . hotel, 50 he drove home. He had no mlshap on the way and was greatly surprised to be taken out of bed in the early morning.
 Mind Hank Concerning Crash
 Steve Bugnacki. aged 24. of Main street, borrowed an automobile truck from John McLarney of e6 Newfield avenue. to visit his mother last Saturday at her homo on the Cathole road to Meriden. Before leaving, however. he was visited by some friends who had . bottle Of liquor and drinking bout took the place of tho visit to his mother.
 About s:so at night. Bugnacki was driving the truck on Myrtle street, near Curtis street, and crashed into . car driven by Michael Yoroisk of 190 High street. Officer Peter McEvoy learned of the col lision and on investigating. found Bugnacki about 10 feet from the ac- cident, in a highly intoxicated con- dition. The officer learned that Bugnacki had left the scene of the accident. only to return a little la ter. He denied that he had been driving and when asked about his operators license he was unable to produce one.
 After Officer McEvoy. McLarney, Lieutenant Balnforth and Yoroisk had testified. Bugnacki took the stand and told his story. He could not remember leaving his room and taking the truck, not to mention the journey to. Myrtle and Curtis streets and the ensuing collision. The liquor fioored him and left his mind

Morris says we are doing nothing for the insane in Connecticut.
 ''In Simeon E. BaldWin's time we went into insane asylums and found an insane man chained to . bed. Today there Is no insane asylum. It is hospital. The patients get physical and mental treatment and case worker goes out and checks up on his story. Sometimes we find the patients story is true and not an hallucination. If it is an hallu- cination we tell him 50 and gradual ly get the idea out of his mind.
 Remember. an insane person Is sane most of the time. Every case gets its individual investigation. There is nobody under restraint at Middletown and the old strait jacket is gone.
 "Thirty-seven per cent of the pa- tients in our institutions for the in- sane are being sent home as cured or able to be about in the com munity, and if the community had . better understanding of the prob lems. we could return 50 per cent as cured.
 "The state of Connecticut appro- priated 31,576.057 for new buildings and equipment in one year.
 "Mr. Morris has had . lot to say about tuberculosis institutions and what is being done to prevent the spread of this disease. He criticized the state because we have not fn- ished building the Seaside sanitar- ium. You are all familiar with the fight the state is waging in the courts with the McCook family to get land for this purpose.
 ''The situation on state finances has been misrepresented by the democratic candidate for governor"
 Mr. Hall spoke at some length on tariff questions. He told story of an officer of the hatter's union in Danbury who claimed the matters were promised by Senator Under- wood that the Underwood tariff bill would contain a clause protecting the hat industry. When President Wilson was elected. he said, the hat ters learned that there would be no protection for the hat industry. They sent the secretary of the union. a prominent democrat. to Washington to interview the senator who was chairman of the finance committee. Hall continued to say that after four unsuccessful attempts 70 obtain an interview with the Wash ington senator the man from Dan bury finally buttonholed him at his office door and was told you voted the democratic ticket. now go back to Danbury and take your medi- cine"
 He said he did not take any stock in Governor Smiths promises on tariff protection because chairmen In the senate and house are ap- pointed to important committees be- cause of their seniority.
