SOCIAL STANDARD
REVISION IS URGED
Minister Urges Rebellion
Against Building of CiviIiza-
ton Solely for Young People.

One grave trouble with American life
today Is that I'VE are building our
civilization on the assumption that men
and women stay young all their lives
declared Rev. DR.. Bernard Iddings Bell,
warden of st. Stephens College, Column
bia University, New York, in sermon
yesterday morning at the Washington
Cathedral.
I'VE seem to assume" said DR.. Bell.
shat the only pleasures worth cultl-
waiting are those which appeal to
adolescence or at the most to people
under IS years of age. Thanks to
modern medicine, most of us live to be
10 or so. The latter half of human
life ought to be far the happier half,
but It cannot be If the only pleasures
to which one has been introduced IN
his youth are those which turn into
intolerable sources of boredom at about
the age of IS.
THAT is exactly what Americans are
doing, which explains why most mature
distract, unhappy, bore to themselves
and a nuisance to other people.
For the salvation of our country we
need rebels. people who refuse to con-
form to the social and mechanical
pressures all about us, people who are
willing to insist that manhood is more
than youth and that the internal free
dom of a mans soul is too valuable to
SELL especially for the petty price
offered by civilization at the moment.
IF We can get some rebels, real rebels,
competent rebels. against the standard
ization and stupidity of the twentieth
century, America has a chance of
arriving at spiritual maturity"

The letter reads:
I'VE spent the first two weeks Of Sep
TENDER in Washington and drove about
the city IN our own motor car negotiat-
ing as best we could the one-way
streets, observing the police signals, in
Guiding red lights, stop signs, no-park-
ing signs and the wave Of the hand.
1--WE are motorists trained in a small
town with easily regulated traffic and
were quite uneasy and worried in a
city the size of Washington. This
feeling, however, was entirely overcome
by the police themselves. through their
smiling courtesy and apparent willing
ness to do anything to aid the out-of-
town tourists.
1T wish to take this opportunity Of
commencing your department in its en-
tirety for the manner in which they
treat travellers"

His reference to Ford was in connec-

the automobile manufacturers thousands

LIFE-SAVING MACHINERY

That safety devices in mines work was indicated in the explosion in the Old Ben Mine No. 8 near West Frankfort III. Instead of the mon in the entire mine being endangered and scores of them trapped. the au- tomatic devices localized the blast and only those in its immediate vi cinity were victims.
 It is said that many mine com- panies have been 10th 10 install safety devices of the most approved fashion on account Of the expense involved. This outworn tendency to- ward economy is gradually giving way to d more enlightened attitude. It is something very much worth while when q serious explosion such as this was can be localized 10 the immediate vicinity where it hap pened. The saving Of life is incal- culable. Coal mining is a hazardous occupation at best and the men are entitled to the protection of the most modern machinery in every in stance.

WITH FAITH IN THE FUTURE

When business institutions erect new and enlarged homes in New
 Britain they by their act indicate their faith not only in their own ability to grow with the city but they show most practical belief in the future of the municipality. In ef- feet they Say to the city, Here, we believe New Britain is certain to con- tinuc growing bigger and better and we are willing to bet the cost of the now building we have erected that we arc right. IT we happen to be wrcng T'c stand to lose tidy sum. But we know we are right, and here is the building
 Many of the leading commercial institutions in the city saw fit 10 send flowers to the new home Of the w.. L. Hatch company on Washington street, which was a pretty gesture and one indicating everyone is hap py that such new structure has been erected. We join in congratu- lations on the score that anyone or any firm who erects structure Of consequence is contributing to the growth and bettermcnt of the city.

SAFEGUARDING HEALTH

Looking around for violation of the health ordinance, Dr. Louis J. Dumont has discovered that there is widespread practice of leaving food unprotected. He will see that the ordinance is enforced. This should receive the cooperation 0" the police. and one is rather surpris- ed that with the aid of the police the ordinance has been allowed to go un- enforced.
 Speaking Of germs getting on food, however. one is reminded that the system in many restaurants Of the same persons who handle food also ringing up money in the cash regis ter is not a perfect example Of cleanliness, considering that most paper money is supposed to be well laden with germs. Even some Of the new small bills are beginning 10 look heavier than usual-hcaNict with dirt.

LDERAL AID FOR STATE

Connecticut does not enjoy the use Of as many federal aid highways as many another state but it does join in the benefits arising from the fed cral law which matches dollar for dollar in the construction of certain highways under certain conditions. Meanwhile there has been public opinion in the state which opposed the federal aid system altogether as smacking of paternalism. or rather. tage to western states. while large share of the federal aid money came from the pockets or people living in the East, including Connecticut.
 The law holds good, however, and continues on the books despite east ern opposition. Connecticut. too, is not in a good position to object In view of the statistics just made pub lie ih Washington that during the year the government handed the state more than s1.O59.O in federal funds for one source or another, Of which the federal share for high ways under construction was moro than sS06.0O0. Altogether there are more than 229 miles of federal aid highway in the state. of which more than 22 miles were added during the year and more than l2 miles are still under construction. Tn addition eight more miles have been approv- ed.
 This is a fair percentage Of the complete mileage of improved high ways in the state. probably no less than in the case Of many a western state. The object of the federal gov ernment, Of course, is to assist in the improvement of trunk line highways, and nowhere is there an effort made to have the federal government contribute to the costs Of improving purely local roads. The need for trunk line highways everywhere is self-evident. and the almost univer- sal belief seems to be there are not enough of them through the West, while in the East traffic upon them is usually so Congested that the agitation IS ccaseless for more. Any system that stimulates or { aids in their construction should be welcome. and for this reason the federal aid plan is to be commended as a far-sighted effort to bring about improvements in highway transpor- tation.

FROM THE SNOBBEEY CRITIC

Robert E. Rogers, of the Massa- chusetts Institute of Technology, tells a breathless world that eono persons arc really not benefited by the reading Of books. They live more or less automatic existence, he says. and never receive from the printed page anything that helps them 10 live more intcllisently.
 This is a generalization which it would be difficult to prove or dis prove. Almost every person can re- member narins read a book "ohce upon a timc' yet remembers little or nothing about it. It would be unwarranted. however, to claim thai for this reason it had been a waste of time to read the book. The en- ioyment and northumberland lectual entertainment, If you will that exists in reading a book Is not 10 De TbSdIutI liS lItlS' W IiiiS III eiN subconscious mind there are likely to remain rough sketches of what 1t pictured or discussed which In the mysterious method Of the mind may bob up for use at the most uneX- pccted moment.
 What the professor says about book applies with equal force to al most every other intellectual effort in life. The average person of in- telligence cannot remember all he has learned. much less all he has read. To remember these attributes Of education is not the aim Of edu- cation: the aim rather is to train the mind. and that IS done regardless whether the ability to remember all one r adS or has studied.

When an excess amount of water is delivered to the leaves it is given off through small stomata, the same openings through which the trees breathe. This excess of water is eXuded as an invisible vapor Scicn- lists have estimated that a big oak may transpire as much as l50 gal Ions of water during a single day in summer.

 Q, What does Punta Arenas mean"
 A. It is Spanish name and means Point of Sands"
 Q. What food should be given to diamond back turtle" Where ought it be kept in winter?
 A. They prefer shrimp. crab or crustacea of some sort, as these compose their natural food. Small pieces of raw fish would make a good diet in captivity, and there should be some water-plants in the tub So that the turtle may deEour them when it needs vegetable food. The tub containing the turtle should have plenty of sand or mud in it. At the approach of winter the turtle will become sluggish and refuse food. and finally burroW out of sight in the mud. The tub should be put in a cool place, the mud should be kept well moistcncd but not allowed to freeze.
 Q. Does any fish have four eyes, the upper pair for seeing in the air and the lower pair for seeing in the water?
 A. The species, Anabelps ana belps, belonging to genus of cy- prinodon fishes, have four eyes, re- markablc for the incomplete division of the eye into an upper smaller and lower larger part. The division of the eye is effected by the growth of two processes of the iris toward each other across the pupil. and a corresponding band of the conjunc- tiva across the cornea. AS they are surface fish, and swim with their eyes partly projecting above the water, the upper part serves the purpose of seeing in the air and the lower for seeing in the water. They occur in shallow water along the coast and in the rivers of tropical America. It is impossible for them 10 dive to any depth and they pro- gress by a succession of short skips or jumps along the surface. They can also make their way very rapid ly over mud-fats.
