Uncommon Sense

EYES

THERE used to be a belief preva-
4 lent throughout the world that
the eyesfght of savages was far su-
perior to that of civilized men.
Pioneers in new countries noticed
that their native guides could look
into tree, and see there bird which
was invisible to the white man.
They saw them look lat the hori-
zon, shading their eyes, and then an
nounce that deer stood there.
The white man could see no deer.
He put the Indians discovery of 1t
down to his miraculous eyesight.
It is probable that the white man
could see the bird as well as did the
savage.
attention he did see it.
He also. without doubt, saw 1t was
a deer.
Only he did not know 1t was a
deer, and the savage did.
For long experience had taught the
savage what deer looked like at
great distance.
He could not possibly mistake it for
a bowlder or hummock of grass, as
the white man could
The white man had never seen a
deer at a distance.
Or he had never taken the trouble
to look into tree long enough and
intently enough to distinguish a bird
from the foliage among which 1t was
hidden by its protective coloring
Much the same thing is observed by
passengers on ocean steamships.
The officers on the bridge will look
at the horizon and detect an iceberg,
invisible to the passengers
Ii is not be- Anse their eyes are bet
ter, 1t Is because they know how to
distinguish the motionless white of
the iceberg from the moving white OF
the waves.
This is supplementing sight with
observation.
And that is what makes the diff.
ference between the educated and the
uneducated
The savage can neither read nor
write, yet he Is educated In the es.
sentials of his existence.
TIE sailor may be i!'itcr"tc vet he
knows how to use his eyes better
than does the college professor IN the
deck chair.
We all start fairly equal Will re-
gard to the senses.
1t is In their Use that we differ
And ii is that difference that makes

Yet the difference between artist

For Meditation

By LEONARD A. BARRETT
WATCHING THE CLOCK

THE person who watches the clock
L fails to render adequate service for
value received, because his mind is on
the clock and not on his work. Work.
ing against time, anXiOusly waiting for
the whistle to blow or the hell 10 ring,
furnishes poor incentive for toll.
Such spirit robs work of its zest
and proper compensation.
The man who watches the clock Is
driven by his work. He usually fats
to rise to higher place of RESPONSE
bility than he now holds. He is for
tunate if he is able to keep the job
he has. In his efforts to protect him
self against overtime work he has
only robbed himself of the largest OPP
portunity for his own advancement.
The man who never thinks of the
clock is not driven by his work on
the contrary, he drives 1t. He is more
interested In his work than in himself.
Therefore he is able to put his real
and vital spirit into 1t. Because of
the quality of the work rendered he
finds himself prepared when the
chance for advancement comes his
way.
Plenty of positions "higher up" are
always ready for men and women
who are ready for them, but such Jobs
do not go to those who watch the
clock"

WOULD REGULATE
UNSAFE MACHINES
legislative Action on Autos
Being Considered

Because public sentiment may
now favor it, proposal may pc
introduced in the next session OF the
legislature which provides for the
regulation of the sale or use OF au-
tomobiles which by reason OF eNten-
sive wear and tear have possibly
become unsafe for traffic partlclpa-
ton. This proposal is in no way
revenue measure. The subject Is
covered in the monthly bulletin OF
the state motor vehicle department
in 4 discussion of the junk car
and OF the problem which 1t creates.
1t is therein claimed that the state
might Well esta blish principle for
Standardization OF the condition of
motor vehicles on the highways and
that this can be done through the
setting up of a time period called
in dealers language, the turn
over" with the end in view that all
cars older than the time set will
come under the jurisdiction of the
state for supervision.
In order that there may be no
discrimination against Old cars that
are kept in good repair the pro-
posal is advanced that the state
provide for an examination and sets
forth further that without expen-
sive organization and at slight eX-
pense such an examination if passed
would allow q person intending to
keep an old car to get certificates
as to its fitness to run for the reg
istration period. Such regulation, in
the opinion OF the department
would compel rigid scrutiny by po-
lice and it would happen that the
second hand cars which dealers put
on the market would need to pass
examination" 1t would give the
person who owns the car and who
has had it examined certificate of
condition at slight expense. 1t
would mean also much closer and
stricter supervision of the whole
second hand car problem and
might mean that the problem could
10 worked out so that there would
he no improper and imperfect cars
on the highways of the state.
In discussing possible charge OF
paternalism, Commissioner Stoeckel
says that "the whole participation
OF the state in motor vehicle mat
tiers is based upon the theory of IL
cense by government. The state de-
termines who may have a car and
VINO may operate it and under what
restrictions" he adds. 1T would
New Britain herald., 1928-11-09

seem to be no more paternalistic to
determine what car is ut to be on
the highway. SO far as safety is con-
cerned. than it is to determine who
may be on the highway ~ an
operator"
Unslghtly automobile cemeteries
along the highways. and Junk deal
ers who sell unsafe cars are also
discussed by Commissioner Stocked
in advocating measures Of control.
1T is possible" he says under ex-
isting law. for anyone to buy such
a car Of a junk dealer for practi-
eally nothing. This particular type
Of business ought to be controlled.
The junk dealer ought to be licens-
ed TO sell junk and kept strictly to
that account. He ought not to be
allowed to sell complete ear
that and place responsibility upon
dealers who take second hand cars
in trade to certify TO the state de-
partment, or at least to make some
kind Of a guarantee to fhe person
to whom the second hand car is sold
that the car at the time # sale is
in good safe condition for trans
portation and will run the period OF
the registration year without devel-
oping an unsafe or unusable con-
dtion."
Regarding car graNeyards, he finds
that junk dealers are largely re-
sponsible for unsightly effects In
some OF the most beautiful sections
of the state. The size, extent and
general ugliness of these junk piles,
he says attest the popularity and
probable profit of this kind of bust
ness. while there does not appear
to be any method at the present
time whereby the DETACHMENT OF
scenery and loss of attractiveness of
the side of highways caused by such
spectacles can be met, there should
be some way devised by which own
ers of land are prevented from max
ing 1t public nuisance.
The argument in favor Of this
is perhaps idealistic but neverthe-
less it is practical. The scenery in
Connecticut. because it is such a
great vacation state, has a real and
practical value. Apparently 1t Is
perfectly possible under existing
laws. to restrain other nuisances. for
instance the law may be invoked
to prevent erection of a slaughter
house or a soap factory in an un-
suitable place. Why should there
not be a law to prevent man from
making nuisance in the esthetic
sense, and thereby preserve for
homebuilders the practical values Of
real estate. No man. rich or poor.
ought to be allowed to have on the
highway any motor the status Of
which is such as to endanger the
public. 1t is a f~ct that vehicles
which have been run a long time
and long distances are more apt to
be out of order and in the hands
of persons who are wilful'y negli-
gent of their condition than new or
nearly new motor vehicles. 1t is
fact and not theory which ought to
