 Setting 50 minutes after the sun on October i, at the end of the month the delay increases to an hour and ! half. Throughout the fall and winter Venus will remain a con- aplcuous feature in the vest ern sky in the early evening
 Actually the evening star is not a star at al. but planet like the earth - cold. dark globe shining by reflected sunlight. Venus out shines the stars simply because 1t is not so far away.
 Venus is nearer the sun than We are. It distance from the sun is 67 million miles. while the earth's distance is 93 million miles. Trav- cling at the rate of 22 miles a sec ond Venus completes the circuit around the sun in 225 days, gain ing a lap on the slower moving earth once in 5S4 days; this is the apparent period of its revolution around the sun, as we see it.
 Viewed from the earth the near ly circular orbit of Venus is nearly edgewise. so that the planet ap- pears to oscillate. first to the east of the sun as an evening star, then to the west of the sun as a morn. ing star when it appears in tho eastern sky before sunrise. On July Venus crossed east. ward behind the sun at its maxi. mum distance of 16O million miles from the earth and then became the evening star. Since that time 1t has been swinging steadily to the east and toward us, increasins g in brightness and in elevation at suns,'t.
 It is now between two and three times brighter than the great planet Jupiter which comes into view in the eastern sky soon after sunset: and it is six times brighter than Sirius, the Dog Star. the brightest of the real stars.
 Venus will reach the limit ot its eastN ard movement on Febru. ary '. 1929. Then it will swing back toward the sun, and on Apri 20 it will cross to the west side becoming morning star for tho remainder of the year. At thi: conjunction the planet will be onl, c6 million miles from the earth. The greotest brilliancy as an ve ming star is attained on March 15 1929. when i' will be two and { half times brighter than it is q present sr bright in fact that i will then ba plainly visible to th' raked eye at midday. if one know exactly where to look for 1t.

 Yuskywich took the witness stand and . minute later Attorney Cabelus moved for . discharge on the ground that the state had failed to offer cyl. dence that Yuskywich had been driving. Prosecuting Attorney Woods replied that Makula had 70 teatiAed. and Judge Saxe denied the motion. after which Yuskywich proceeded with his story.

Two motorists were convicted in police court today on the charge of driving while under the influence Of liquor, and a fine of $lO0 and costs and suspended jail sentence of l5 days were imposed on each. After court. Judge M. D. Sake remitted $25 to Boleslaw Yuskywich. aged 3S, Of Berlin street. Scuthington. and $50 tc Clifford Alderman, aged A3, of 3a Sunrise avenue, this city.
 Yuskywich was driving a produce truck when it struck parked car owned by John w. Makula. at the corner of East and Austin streets about 2:3O p. m., September .7. Motorcycle Officer w. F. Hayes and Sergeant J. J. King testified that he was unfit to drive car. but Yusky- wich who was represented by Attor- ney Thomas J. Cabelus, contended that he had not had a single drink of intoxicating beverage all day. and was not intoxicated or in any way unfit to drive. He said Makula de- manded $2O for the damage done to his fender by the impact. and when payment was refused. Makula threat ened to call the police. Yuskywich told him to do so if he wanted to. but he would not pay more than the actual damage. which he thought would be $l or soo. He showed Makula his insurance card to prove | that the latter would not lose any thing on account of the collision. Officer Hayes, under cross exam ination by Attorney Cabelus, ad- mitted that he did not have Yusky- wich walk a straight line to observe 1 his condition. He was able to ob- serve that he was unsteady on his feet and talked with difficulty.

SbU1HING70N GOES
 DEMOCRATIC AGAIN
Fh2 Time Since Election o[
 fl YaE Ago
Especial to the Herald)


 Southington, Oct. 2-For the first time since 1917. first selectman running on the democratic ticket. has been elected in Southington. Charles w. Camp. democrat. oppos- ing Julius 5. Lewis. republican. re- ceiyed q total of s66 votes to s09 for Lewis leaving his plurality at 57.
 The rest of the democratic ticket was defeated by pluralities ranging from l50 to 200 votes.
 The total vote cast in the elec- tion yesterday was 1894 out of a possible 2.S00. This is a record vote for Southington in town cleo tion in which the interest of the voters Is almost negligible. -
 The big fight was waged with the first selectman's office as the prize. Both Camp and Lewis have been members of the board with Camp acting as first selectman since the death recently of First Selectman William T. Foley. Workers of both parties were out in full force yesterday and the balloting was brisk all day long,
 The election issues were purely local and are not being considered in political circles as reflection cf how the town might go in the presl- dential election. The democrats. for the first time, have live. working organzation in the town and they have been pointing to the November halioting more than to the town.
 With the number of names on the to-be- made voters list well over 4O0. the total voting strength of the town should be we'll over 5000 by November. Southington has been pretty we'll canvassed by both par ties and a record presidential vote is expected next month.

INSISTS ON
 IMMEDIATE TRIAL
Case Against Accused Young
 Men Coming Up Tomorrow

The cases of Edward Bazylewicz, aged 22. of 151 Lyon street and Michael Gacek. aged 2l. of 23 Farm ington avenue, charged with theft on September 23. must be tried in police court tomorrow before any other business ia taken up, Judge M. D. Saxe decreed today. Attorneys B. J. Monkiewicz and Martin F. Stempien were prepared to go to trial today. the former calling the courts at- tention to the fact that Bazylewicz has been in Hartford county Jail since the arrest because of his in- ability to raise bail. Last week, through an oversight, he was not brought to court, and another delay resulted. We believe we have good case and we are ready to proceed" Attorney Monkiewicz said. but At- torney Thomas F. McDonough, coun- sel for Gacek, said he could not go to trial because of appointments in superior court today. He had no ob- jection to having Bazylewicz tried today and Gacek some other time, but Prosecuting Attorney Woods would not agree, and Judge Saxe said he felt both young men should be tried together.
 Attorney Monkiewicz assured the court the defense would take con- ! siderable time but an effort would be made to conclude the trial in an hour, as all the attorneys concerned, including MT. Woods, must be in Hartford during the forenoon.
 The allegation in the @ ses is that the young men stole e52 from
 Dominick Toczko of 5G3 Burritt street. the latter having accused one of hodling him and the other oi rifling his pockets.

WIFE BEATER IS
 SCORED BY JUDGE
Fine and Suspended Jail Sen.
 tence Imposed

This man cannot expect to con- tinue to hide behind his wife and children" Judge Saxe said. as he imposed a fine of $l5 and costs and . suspended jail sentence of 30 days in the case of 1sidore Jakalowski. aged 70, of 59 Broad street, who pleaded guilty to the charge of breach of the peace and assa aulting his wife. in police court today.
 Motorcycle Officer w. P. Hayes testified that he went to Jakalow- skis home about 5 p. m.. Sunday, Sept. 23 on complaint and found nrs Jakalowski almost unconscious il rool of blood at the foot of the stoirs with bottle beside her Her right eye was closed. her left osr @as injured, and her head was bieedilg. She told the officer her ltnsl&ui had kicked her in the face and threw her down stairs.
 Cross examined by Attorney Law renee J. Colon. counsel for Jakalow- ski. Officer Hayes said the latter was bruised and bleeding and ac- cused his wife of striking him with | bottle.
 Prosecuting Attorney J. G. Woods characterized the assault as ''in- human" and said a jail sentence should be imposed. Jakalowski has been before the court in the past for similar offenses.
 Attorney Colon replied that Jak- alowsh and his wife have been be- fore the court in the past, and there were certain circumstances which could not be told on account of the plea of guilty. He called the atten- ton of the court to the fact that Jakalowski works steadily and SUD- ports his family. so he could not be chased as entirely bad.

United BUSINESS

To promote business development
in a community, some organization
must exist which shall represent the
commercial interests of a commun-
ity. You may call it a Chamber of
Commerce, Board of Trade, or any
thing you wish. The name makes
no special difference, but that kind
of work must be done, or the COM
munity fails to go ahead.
And to get that work done, there
must be a general willingness to
support that organization. People
must be willing to pay it's dues, they
must cooperate with it's efforts,
they must be willing to support the
programs which it recommends, and
they must attend it's meetings. Most
cities and towns that have made pro-
gress have had active organizations
of this type, and the people give
them hearty support.

CHRISTMAS Joy

Christmas is the happiest Of all
our holidays. The day has a pecu-
liar and distinctive atmosphere OF
good cheer and good will. The peo-
pie shout out merry Christmas
with a hearty feeling of friendship.
Somehow on Christmas day we feel
nearer to the people around us. We
all seem to be drawn together by a
common tie, and the sordid strug-
giles of daily life appear remote.
Somehow the burdens of life seem
lifted on Christmas day. We forget
the cares of ordinary toll, and the
air seems electric with hope. The
world seems friendly, and enmities
and dislikes stink away and are for
gotten.
The lifting of the daily burdens
seems to bring a peculiar feeling of
merriment. Older people forget
their years, and play like children
again. The family parties reach a
high point of mirth, and peoples
most frolicsome natures assert
What is the influence that sudden
ly gets into peoples minds and thus
gives them lighter hearts? The
bright music and decorations and
homecomings of Christmas day have
to do with it, creating a
peculiar light beartedness,
But perhaps the principal infu-
,nce creating this widespread hap
)iness, comes from the giving GUS

GLARING HEADLIGHTS

GLARING HEADLIGHTS
One of the more important causes
of automobile accidents is from
glaring headlights at night, accord
ing to the American Automobile
Association. 1t is declared, ac-
cOrding to investigations in a num-
ber of cities, that from three to
five per cent of all nighttime ac-
cidents are due to dazzling lights.
The driver of a car is nearly
helpless, when some automobile
approaches him with its lamps To-
cussed too high. He is often un-
able to see thing ahead of him
until this glare stops. If a pedes-
trian is standing on the side of the
read, the driver may be wholly un-
able to see him under such condi-
tions, and he either has to stop his
car, or take chance and plunge
ahead into the brilliant dazzle Gre
ated by the approaching car.
1t is remarked that in garages
many workmen will seize hold of
the headlamps of car when they
want to move it around, which
tends to wrench these lamps out of
position.
There are not police officers
enough in Delaware to make a con-
stant inspection of these lights.
Automobile owners should be ex-
pected to attend to this thing
themselves, and have their lights
and brakes inspected at certain
regular intervals. Those that fail
to have this equipment carefully
attended to, have a lack of willing
ness to cooperate for the public
safety that is likely to tell heavily
against them, in case they become
involved in an accident.
Automobile accidents have become
one of the worst menaces of our
life Almost all of them are unnec-
essary and could be avoided by
courtesy and regard for the safety
of the public. The people should
not tolerate the needless way in
which many people handle their
cars, and failure to keep their head
lights well regulated is one of the
worst of their faults.

SOME YEARS AGO, WHEN our
present tariff laws were established,
a wave Of protest arose from the
faction.
1t was stated that an increased
tariff would unreasonably raise COM
modify prices and that, by doing
away with competition, it would
lower the efficiency of
industry.
1t was predicted that our prosper
ty would be seriously injured and
hat those with money would get
more and those who had little would
lave less.
The tariff seems to have operated
ust opposite from this. Prices of
rticles on the free list have, on the :
verage, increased more than the i;
rices of articles coming under the >
ariff provisions. +;
The efficiency of industry has +
realty increased and the productive

CHRISTMAS WINDOWS

Store window dressing becomes an
art and attains its climax in the pre-
holiday period. What would the
main street of any village or the
shopping centers of the great cities
be without the decorations and il
luminations of the store fronts? The
streets without store windows seem
dull and dead in contrast. Where
the windows are the throngs pass
and repass, pausing, attracted by
the display, to see the latest novel
ty, to admire the beauty of the ex-
hibit or the artistic effect produced
by the skill and taste of the decora-
tor.
Many of the windows, too, are
simply expressions of the beautiful
in which merchandising is eclipsed
by the spell of art, but the inspira-
ton thus provided finds reflection
in countless homes and in mutual
benefit.
