After a fight with his father. who had assaulted his mother. Joseph Capik, 19, of o57 Union avenue. Bridgeport, put his fist through a window in door at l9S North street yesterday afternoon and then hurried
 10 a store opposite Lawlor street and telephoned to the police to take him into custody before he harmed hls father. While he was telephoning.
 Sergeant P. J. O'Mara and Officer
 Peter McEvoy walked in, police
 headquarters having been reached by telephone by Mrs. Theresa SikoWski, who lives in the rear of the house where the window was broken. Charged with breach of the peace and injury to property. Capik was arraigncd in police court today and fined Sl0 and costs by Judge Stanley J. Traceski. He admitted that he lad been drinking but to the best of his recollection he believed he had not had more than two drinks which he took to be "sociable."
 His father, according to Capik, frequently assaulted his mother un- til she left him some years ago. Later she returned to live with him again, staying until she was beaten, when she decided to leave him. The
 son took her to Bridgeport. and the father remained at %5 Hartford ave- hue with his daughter.
 The daughter invited the Bridge port folks to make an Easter visit,
 but it did not result harmonioualy, the father assaulting the mother on
 Sunday and the sister on Monday. Capik learned of the affair on his re- turn to the Hartford avenue house
 yesterday and he proceeded to
 avenge his mother, whose left eye
 was badly discolored.
 Tine father ran out of the house and the son chased him and thought
 he saw him go into the house on North street. Rushing up to the door.
 he tried to open it but could not, SO he put his fist through the win- dow. which measured approximate ly 7x30 inches. Sergeant O'Mara brought Capik from the store where he was telephoning to the house where the window was broken and looked around for the father but did not find him. Capik's hand was bleeding from cuts inflicted by the glass.
 After Sergeant O'Mara and Mrs. sikowski testified. Capik told his story. He said his father attempted to strike him when he remonstrated about the attack on his mother and sister. He admitted that he had no right to commit . breach of the peace and smash the window. After court, Mrs. Capik told the police she would come here 10 testify against her husband If he is arrested for as- saulting her.

 Station I. the neweSt house in the city. was constructed at cast o1 S65,000, this amount including s. 900 for a drill tower, . structure which will not be needed in connec- ton with the proposed new house.
 "Under the deferred payment statute, the cost is extended over 2 period of five years. It is the belief of the ire board that Station ' can be duplicated, fully equipped for s5O,0O0. this including land, build ing apparatus and equipment for the house and for tho machine. The cost would therefore be el0.000 . year for each Of i've years, or less than one-eleventh of one mill year on the present grand list.
 Docs Not Include Cost of Crew
 This does not include the cost of manning the station, an amount which must he added as a fixed charge against this fire fighting unit next year. The cost of two shifts of four men each, including . captain and 8 lieutenant will hA &ll,oSG60. so that the first payment, to be made next year, and the four succeeding payments during the period over which the cost of construction is spread, will be the equivalent of about two-elevenths of one mill q year. After the house has been paid for, the cost automatically drops back to about one-half this amount.
 "The time required for the prep aration and revision of plans. awarding of contracts, actual con- str uction and procuring of apparatus will bring us close to the and of the current fiscal year. 10 that the ques- tion Of man-power does not enter into discussion until April l, 1880.
 "Thc need for a Ire station in this district has been stressed by the Ma tional Board of Fire Underwriters as che which demands immediate con. sideration. The problem of finance has delayed favorable action on the part of the board of finance and taxs .ion, but we feel that the de- ferred payment plan offers the best solution to this problem.
 "The nre board therefore respect fully requests that this report. with it's recommendations be forwarded by the common council to the board of finance and taxation for further hearing and for recommendation to your honorable body.
 Respectfully submitted.

 at the twelfth exposition of chemical . industries In Grand Central palace.
 The new metal is called columbi-

 first lime by Dr. C. w. Blake, for meriy os the University of Illinois
 who In 1912 isolated another rare
 metal called tantalum. The new metal is grayish in color. Only 25 pounds CT it are in existence. The liquor tester is the invention Of X. N Matheson of North Bergen, } \. J. It determines the presence of good or denatured alcohol by mix ing iiquor with q chemical solution, Wood alcohol turns the mixture pink and denatured alcohol, yellow. Other scientific marvels include a device for opening garage doors by blowing . horn three times; a meas urinY instrument SO sensitive 1t re- cords the bending of a steel rail un- der pressure of the little finger; a , dye which injected into the sap of a tree colors the wood: two-pound ice box for airplanes made of halsam wood; and concrete made of peanut shells.
 A process whereby fruits and vegetables may be shipped green from the farm and ripened for the
 dining table within a few hours by use of ethylene gas also was demon- strated.

sidered opening his vestibule door and heaving
the revolver away, but there was too much
danger attendant on that He could be seen
by those whom he could not see, and there was
always danger that the porter in the next car,
or even Cap'n Sandifer, might catch him In the
nefarious act.
At o'clock the train passed Greenville, S. G.
At 4 o'clock 1t was due in Charlotte where Mr..
Warren was going to leave. Epic wanted des-
perately to get rid Of that gun before MIR. War
rem left the train. The sooner the better be-
cause 1t occurred to him that there was grave
danger the white gentleman would demand a
final thorough search before arriving at his
destination.
Epic's vigil was a long and arduous one, but,
ut o few minutes after o'clock, 1t seemed as
though his opportunity had come. Mr.. War
rem stepped into the drawing room occupied by
the friend whom Epic had believed was Mr..
Donegan. The conductor was In another car
The passengers were curled up In their seats,
doing, or else in state Of wide-eyed coma.
Epic wandered back to the smoking compart-
ment. It was empty.
The gangling porter worked swiftly. He
opened the door of his linen closet and felt
for the gun. He wrapped 1t carefully in
towel, so that he would not be betrayed, should
some one see him on his journey from the
linen closet to the smoking section.
Apparently nothing could be working more
smoothly, yet Epic was oppressed by GER
tainty of impending disaster. He had bunch
that something was preparing to 60 wrong and
that he was to be cast very distinctly In the
role of wrongee It wasn't o pleasant feeling,
but Epic went ahead because he had thought
over his troubles until his head ached and his
brain had ceased to function. It was now or
never with him, and he wondered what his
Birmingham friends would think when the news
OF his disgrace reached them, in the event that
his scheme did not pan out as hoped.
With the gun securely wrapped in the
towel, Epic staggered toward the smoking COM
partment. He stood in the corridor and peeped
through the curtain The place was still empty.
But Mr.. Peters was too wise to hasten He
entered the room and took another careful
survey. Then he showed up the window screen.
Now, more than ever, he wished to be sure OF
himself It would never do to have some one
walk in the room just as he was in the act
of throwing the gun out of the window.
He hesitated for few moments and then
decided that his time was ripe. Swiftly he I'M

the haul to the milk plant before him, and he
usually times himself in this connection by the
time of the departure of the milk train. The
deadline set by the milk station is such that
It fits nicely into the farmers work schedule.
Along comes daylight saving and the milk
train Is advanced an hour. All the farmer can
do Is advance his day an hour also In order
to have his milk ready.
When 1t comes TO a question of working in
his fields, he finds that the dew has not
adopted the daylight saving and he can't get
at his work any earlier than he could before
daylight saving went into effect.
Perhaps he has load of fruit and vegetables
to take into market Under daylight saving the
housewife is buying hour earlier and the
grocer must open up an hour earlier. There
fore, it behooves the farmer to get into town
an hour earlier.
Daylight saving is intended to add to the day
one hour which might be spent in sleeping in
the morning For the city man 1t may have
its benefits, but the farmer now uses all of
his daylight anyway, and the savings plan
simply robs him of one of the too few hours
he has to sleep.

CTATTC to the radio fan may be source OF
irritation and may strain many 9 good
disposition, but when 1t comes down to good
legitimate kick against static. the radio fan
must step aside and listen to the cotton-gin
operator.
Department of Agriculture officials figure
that 1T would take $4,000 900 matches mixed
with Texas cotton to do the damage in one
year that static electricity s.ccomplishes, and
that's just in the State of Texas.
Fires In cotton gins caused by static reach
as high as 81 ,250,000 damage In a single year,
the departments Investigators have discovered.
To test out their theories and to prove that
the popular belief that matches are responsible
Is wrong, the Investigators mixed 600 matches
in various tests with seed cotton and allowed
the ginning process to proceed. Out of the
600 attempts only small fires were started.
When the cotton is dry, however. and the
sparks of static are fairly frequent. fires are
not at all unusual, their findings indicate.
Many gin operators are being forced to take
considerable precautions against the fire, pre-
cautions which vary from hanging wet bags
about the workrooms to daily sprinklng of the
plants.
