END OF A RECENT CRAZE

The craze to construct ever more filling stations seems happily to have waned. True, one reads occasionally of a new such caravansary of oil be- ing projected or established, but that is only occasionally. The filling station business seems to have been quite generally stabilized.
 It has become evident that there will not be as many filling stations as there are garages. This for time seemed likely to beholders. All the good corners have been taken up, every highway has it's supply of gas purveyors, and modern civilization has the appearance of one filling station after another. The reason few additional stations are establish ed must be because there is no more available room anywhere.

public usually concludes are true. What the public thinks about such matter usually is reflected in con- gressional circles. especially sena- torial circles. A bad memory, there- fore, is apt to be a boomerang to the cause it> is designed to aid.
 The cause that the faulty memory of senatorial witnesses have been trying to aid. for instance, has been at a low ebb for some weeks. From the moment when the bad memories began making their appearance it sagged even further. Nothing, it ap- pears, can be salvaged by inability to remember important details of what senators believe should be perfectly transparent actions.
 Less reliance upon poor memories would be better in the long run. Nothing makes a worse impression than when important witnesses hide behind the cloak of lack of knowl- edge Of their own affairs.

he was busy with other and less im- portant matters. For further infor- nation regarding how MT. Bryan ran the state department during this most critical period in the worlds history one need only read the story of his life as related by investigat- ors. Werner's biography of Bryan, for instance, is an eye-opener. AL though the carelessness of MT. Bryan is ably indicated in this biography, no incident is so Illuminating as the disappearance of this important cablegram, brought to light for the first time through the medium of the Herrick autobiography.

history that the issue is brought up repeatedly but without definite ac- ton ever being taken. The difficulty is, of course, that heavy costs face city or town in adopting a modern ized sewerage system. If that were something to be paid for in cash the outlook would be prohibitive; but as posterity vii be the gainer from all such improvements the only logical method is to issue bonds and pay of the cost by the time the suc- ceeding generation appears on the scene. It is just that a permanent improvement of this nature should be paid for over a long period of years.
 Not only the Connecticut, but also the Naugatuck is utilized in a man ner not intended by nature. The Naugatuck vies with the Connecticut in stench; it is a matter for good humorous debate as to which is the worse. The Naugatuck probably wins the dubious contest because of its lack of width compared with the Connecticut. The cities down the pretty valley most assuredly have made a mess Of 1t!
 When the important streams of the state have been returned to their pristine purity something of value to future generations will have been accomplished. There should be no unnecessary delay because of the costs when as previously indicated
 hey can be distributed over long period of time. When cities and towns being competing with one an- other as to which can have the most modern sewage disposal sys- tenn a good beginning will have been made.

BANK MERGERS AND CHAINS

Every banker in the United States is thinking about the great banking mergers that have taken place, those that are rumored from time to tune as still to take place, and the chain banking business.
 Melvin Traylor, president Of the First National of Chicago, does not foresee a perfect paradise in bank ing as the result of consolidation. If crop failures, hard times or similar national difficulties should arise he believes there will be great popu- lar outcry against the consultations and that demagogs would have rich opportunity to advocate and possibly put through restrictive laws that would be a millstoAN to bank ing ever afterward.
 Originally American banking was in independent units. For the most part that system remains in the smaller cities. If the transitional neriod is here a great many people besides the bankers are vitally inter ested.

WHEN MEMORY BECOMES BAD

It is no uncommon thing for wit nesses before a congressional com mittee to have bad memories 1n- deed, the same thing frequently hap pens in a court room. There is no law against having a poor memory. One is supposed to testify regarding things Of which one has knowledge. Manifestly one cannot testify to something one doesn't remember, AS long as nothing but direct testimony counts, and what one thinks, be- - ieves or supposes doesn't count. so long will there be poor memories on the witness stand.
 A poor memory on topics of which one should be familiar, however makes a bad impression. Listeners, and those who read the testimony in the papers, cannot help concluding that some bad memories are bad on purpose. They naturally realize that to have a bad memory at q critical time is an easy refuge for those who hope in this manner 10 aid their cause by not yielding important testimony.
 But a bad memory on the witness stand sometimes defeats it's own ends. The public is apt to conclude that what is being supposed about the witness and his cause is more or less correct. In the case of con- gressional investigation, a poor memory leads to the assumption that its possessor is trying to cover up things that better memory would make plain; and these things the

PROGRESSIVE SMALL TOWNS

Small towns and cities of the state show tendency to be more pro- gresslve toward sewage disposal than most Of the larger cities. There was the town of Torrington, for instance, which at 8 town meeting the other day voted s7O,0O0 for the construc- ton of a sewage disposal plant. And in Middletown, where speedy action has been suggested and favor ably received that the city discon- tnue using the Connecticut river as a sewer-the practice of 100 or so towns and cities from the upper reaches Of the noble stream to it's confluence with the Sound at Gris- wold Point.
 The small towns, of course, can | enter into such schemes with the knowledge that the cost is less than the larger towns would face. But the cost is just as high on a per capita basis.
 Improved sewage disposal remains a problem in New Britain, too, and it has been curious page in local

much less brilliant when rising or setting than at midday. This condi- tion would make it difficult to see the North Star with the naked eye at the great zenith distances at which 1t would have to be observed south of the equator With teles- cope properly directed, it should not be a difficult matter to see it.
 Q. Is there any way to determine the freshness of an egg by appear ance of the shell?
 A. No. To determine the quality of eggs it is necessary to candle them. Candling consists of holding the egg before a strong light, usu- ally artificial, in such a way that the rays of light penetrate the egg to a considerable extent, thus en- abling the condition of the contents to be noted.
 Q. Did California split it's elec- toral vote in 1912?
 A. In 1912 California split it's electoral vote, giving votes to Will son and II to Roosevelt.
 Q. What is a Grecian nose?
 A. The true Grecian nose is an almost perfect triangle The line from the summit or root where it joins tAe forehead is straight and all most parallel to the line of the fore head, and the>angle at the point or tip to the junction with the upper lip is approximately 45 degrees In other words it is what is usually de- scribed as a straight nose and gives to the profile a regularity of outline that is much admired by artists.
 Q. What was Doctors Commons in London. England?
 A. It was the College of doctors of civil law in London from 176S to 1851; also the name of the build ings occupied by them, where reg istry of wills was kept and the Ad- miraltj and other courts were held.
 Q. Is the old proverb Every tub must stand on it's own bottom" in the Bible?
 A. No. It is found in Dutch, French and English writings of the | 18th century. One reference is Macklin's Man of the World" Act 1, Scene ?.
 Q. Is the same kind of gas used in the Graf Zeppelin as Tn the Los Angeles?
 A. The Graf Zeppelin uses hy- l drogen gas; the Los Angeles uses helium.

A CLEANUP DAY

Such a crash as occurred on the stock market yesterday, following the sensational down-sag of the day before. was another unprecedented turn. According to the accepted technic of finance, stocks are ex- pected to rebound a little after crash, even if the rebound is only temporary. So gloomy and desperate were what is known as professional traders and their margined custom CTS, however, that they gave no time to rebound but seemed bent upon throwing all they had into the maw of the Moloch. It was a most dis tressng affair until the bankers committee got together and took steps to stop the break. The mere fact that such action was taken served to stem the tide of disaster. Then, after lot of damage had been done, the rebound took place.
 sit is an interesting study in mob psychology; and that is the only term that applies.
