two years during the Memorial and Independence holiday periods which are included in the times of excep- tionally heavy holiday traffic. This year there were 259 accidents and six fatalities on May %. 30 and 3l, and 231 accidents and five fatalities
 on July 5, and $. In 1928 the record for the Memorial Day period was 269 accidents and one fatality, and for the July holiday, 2S2 accl- dents and three fatalities.
 The day r-the-holiday' has become a time of frequent accidents as well as the day before, accord ing to the records. Apparently there
 is an increasing number of motor ists who delay returning until the
 day following the holiday and this group has helped swell the ordinary traffic volume. The day after La
 bor Day of last year was particu- larly bad. Seven persons wert kill ed and the high record of fatalities reached. The day after Memorial Day of this year also brought two automobile accident fatalities. Ac- Cident totals on the days after holi-
 days are nearly as great in most
 cases as on the actual holidays and the days preceding.

the sidewalks narrower. Many fairly important streets have no sidewalks, Others moro important have sidewalks adqdate only for two persons at time-unles they're stout. With streets like these. the vehicular contents of two blocks on Fifth Avenue, New York, would be sufficient to cause the traffic police men in Rome to go mad.
 Coupled with the consideration for new tunnels is the project of re- moving tramcars from the center of the city, many of the extremely nar- row streets have two lines of street car tracks, which abut right upon the sidewalks. If a stout and a thin man walk together along the side walk, and street car comes along. the man on the outside is in no little danger of being brushed or struck.
 The traffic movement in down. town Rome is accompanied by an un- earthly din of warning. Taxicab drivers pilot their vehicles with ono hand on the horn to keep pedes- trians out of the streets, motormen keep up a continual clangor of their bells lest pedestrians should step from the curb into the street.
 Sidewalks being what they are, practically as many pedestrians zig gag along the streets as occupy the walks.

Danger Higher Than at Any

More danger surrounds the oper- ation of motor vehicles on Connecti- cut highways around Labor Day than at any other holiday period of the year, according to accident ac- ords compiled by the state motor vehicle department. The figures show that accidents are more num- erous and fatality and injury rates greater, consistently, for the day preceding Labor Day, and the day following than for any three day pe- liod devoted usually to recreation.
 12 Killed In 1928
 Last year there were BIT acci- dents in which 12 persons were killed and scores injured during the three Labor" days. In the same period of the preceding year there were 374 accidents and three deaths. This is far above the records for

 CRUISER BUILDING
Naval Minister Confirms Re. ports, Plans Still Incomplete

Tokyo, Aug. 30 R-Kyo Taka- rabe, Japanese naval minister, in a statement to the Associated Press today admitted the essential truth of reports published here Japan was considering new program of aux Hilary cruiser construction.
 The minister said the reports were ''on the whole true" although the navy's program had not been definitely finally formulated and was Subject to modification ac- cordng to the progress of disarma ment discussions and circumstances affecting preparation of the nation , al budget"

 The Washington government was unmoved. It was not to be doubted that the order calculated as a direct expression of American lack of sym pathy with French policy.
 In England opinion was divided. Some leaders urged that British troops also be recalled; others that they, remain, while taking no part in further occupation. The latter counsel prevailed.
 For the United States, however, withdrawal of the last men cleared the air. It left American policy free to deal with economic and other military aspects of the separations problem and to press the offer of unofficial American aid in solution of that difficulty.

AMERICA ESCAPES
 RHINE DIFFICULTY
Early Withdrawal Of Troops Saving Much Embarrassment

Washington, Aug. 30 R}-As al lied and German conferees have been struggling along in the Young plan discussion at the Hague, America could well sigh with relief at one of the parleys aspects-final evacuation of the Rhineland.
 Departure of the last United States troops from occupied sec tions of Germany six years ago marked the lifting of a burden from Washington which has not returned to trouble it.
 Recent developments in the rep arations fuss, with England willing to take her remaining 6,000 Tom mics out and France standing pat on keeping her 54,0O0 there, recalls the sudden withdrawal of the resi- due of American troops from Co., blenz in 1923.
 A year before the war department sought permission to bring home Major General Aliens command from Coblenz the Yankee contin- gent had dwindled to third the size of a wartime infantry regiment. The smallest force at present in the region is Belgium m's-2, 800 men which she, in sympathy with Eng land, has agreed to reduce by evacuating the ten-year zone.
 Not since the transport St. Mihiel landed the last thousand regulars ID I,,, !, Charleston and New York has Washington had any connection with military sanctions for enforce ment of peace treaties terms.
 The whiting down of Aliens force was in line with the policy of President Harding and Secretary Hughes 10 decrease Germapy's eco- homie burdens to facilitate a rep arations settlement.
 France, however, pressed for military occupation of the Ruhr, to compel payments which Germany declared were outside her capacity.
 Into this situation Secretary Hughes threw himself. In his fa- nous New Haven speech he pointed the road ultimately toward the Dawes reparations plan.
 January 10, 1923. word came of fcialIy to Washington that occupa- ton would be carried through by France. A year earlier the state department had successfully op- posed the war departments desire to withdraw Aliens troops on the ground the action might have an adverse influence on the separations problem in Europe, from which Washington stood rigidIy aloof.
 French determination to proceed with the occupation changed the whole face of affairs. After con- ference with Hughes and War Sec rotary Weeks. President Harding announced that orders had gone to Allen for immediate and final evac- uation.
 Only a handful of American sol dters connected with the graves registration service were to remain.

Fight at First Sight.

The "cichlids" of the fresh-water
carp family are said to be among the
most ferocious of fish. They are quite
difficult to mate and have to be kept
separate, for they fight and kill each
other with little delay. When they are
once mated. however, they take great
care of their progeny, A flower pot or
hollow stone is found, which they clean
spotlessly and in which they raise their
family. They guard their eggs IN al
ternate shifts, tanning them with their
fins. Just before Matching, the female
digs a pit in the sand or shingle and
transfers the young fish to 1t. They
are then wriggling mass of black jelly.
After two or three hours she digs an
other pit, and this process goes on till
the Youngsters can swim about.
