Yule Tree, Profitable

Most of the holiday supply of spruce
and evergreen is grown on Christmas
tree farms, an industry concerning
which little Is heard. One Ohio nur.
sery has more than 100000 trees
growing on rs acres of land, ranging
in size from tiny year-old Norway
spruce seedlings to trees 80 feet tall.
says Popular Mechanics Magazine.
All of the trees come from seeds,
and when the seedlings are two or
three inches high they are planted In
beds, being arranged two inches apart
in rows one foot from each other.

Rationale Poisoning

According to one authority, about
80 per cent of rattlesnake bites pro-
duce fatal results unless some form
Of anti-venom is used. The use of this
serum as an antidote has in general
eliminated the danger from snake bite.
While the condition of the persons
health is factor, 1t is likely that
very few persons are immune from
danger If untreated, particularly If the
poison has been injected directly into
the circulation.

whether women talk more than men
is question that will probably never
be settled satisfactorily, for each sex
has Its own ideas about the ability of
the other to talk.
1t is an age-old argument; men say
women talk the most, but the ladies'
say not. There may have been a time
when there was no way OF gauging
the talking Of either sex, but possibly
the telephone may be an index to this
all-important question.
According to officials Of the Chesa,
peake and Potomac Telephone Com.
pany. more than so per cent Of the
6l1,60O telephones now connected with
the system In Maryland, Virginia,
West Virginia and the District of
Columbia are in the home. and since
the alleged 'talkingest" sex are In the
home the greater amount OF the time,
1t is only natural to suppose that they
use the telephone more than men.
This condition has not always ex-
listed, FOR In the early days OF the
telephone industry people thought OF
the telephone as help to business,
but did not give II much considera-
tion for home use After the tele-
phone began to prove itself as dis
tlnctively an asset to business and the
Industry began to develop, the useful.

Man Is an impatient animal. When
he decides to "obey that impulse" to
go somewhere, he doesn't want to be
delayed. Flying Is the fastest means
OF getting from one place to another
and the only thing that may stand In
the way OF quick trip is the weather.
About $4,000 passengers have trav

the year.

TROLLEYMEN WANT
 INCREASE IN PAY
Demands Made for NeV Schedule
 to Be Effective June 1

Approximately S employees of the New Britain branch of the Connecti- cut Co, including the bus drivers. motormen and conductors on the trolleys and car barn employees are affected by demand which is being made of the company by the Trol- leymen's Union.
 The proposals are being made to John K. Punderford by the Hart ford Local of the Amalgamated As- sociation of Street and Electric Railway Empioyes of America and as the New Britain employees are affiliated with the Hartford branch they will be forced to go out on strike if the union decides to take this course. The Connecticut Co. officials will have until June 1 to satisfy the demands of their em- ployes.
 The principal demands arc for a wage increase scaling up to 20 cents an hour additional for bus drivers, . pinimum eight hour day and recognition of the trolleymen's union.
 The present wage scale was set tied last year after several weeks Of deadlock during which the scare of . strike was felt several times. Jt was finally settled and the possibility Of state wide tie up was avoided.
 William c. Bryan. superintendent of the New Britain branch, express. ed confidence today that the de- mands of the union men would bc satisfied in conferences between now and June l. The first conference will be called within a week.

Chief w. C. Hart Of the police de- partment announced today that tests of automobile brakes will be made next week on Franklin Square. Broad. East Main and Russell or West Main streets. Policemen will be stationed at those points and drivers will be required to use the brakes while going .,t designated rates of speed. Faulty brakes must be repaired. and proof furnished the police, but arrests will be made on the spot in cases where brakes are found to be so poor as to con- stitute | danger on the highway.
 Chief Hart said the tests will bc made as q precautionary measure, there having been no examination of brakes in this city in :ome time. Several accidents on the city streets recently might have been precluded had the brakes of the cars been in working order.

 In the meantime the bricklayers are at work at the high school ad- dition and if the steam filters do not
