Several local men in industry attended ' state meeting of the Y's Mems club which was held in Middletown. They were enthusiastic and invited the newly elected district governor. Harry Ma Lette of New Haven. to come to New Britain and tell us what the club was all about. He came and about fifteen heard him. He explained the purposes and ideals of the organization. Those who listened approved, but agreed that the expense involved through weekly meetings. dues. assessments etc. was prohibitive.

WASHINGTON LETTER
Continued from Page u

At least two groups Of legislators
who had planned expensive and ex-
tensive junketing trips at the govern
ment's expense have voluntarily aban-
doned their proposed tours Of inspec-
ton" in cooler chimes and dutifully
subjected themselves to the martyr
dom of staying on the job in Wash
ington. One sarcastic commentor on
national affairs stated it was doubt
full if President Hoover had saved
himself from forced reception of
hordes of visitors to the summer
White House, or staying in the Cap
ital city and withstanding the daily
visits of senators and representatives
demanding favors.
The members of Congress who have
found it necessary to return to their
home districts are making discreet in
quiries as to the real sentiment in
their districts on tariff revision. In
Washington they are subjected to the
clamor of organized groups, so that
it is difficult to determine what the
rank and file of the voters in their
home communities really want. Pre-
diction is made that on their return
to Washington the viewpoint that they
have expressed in the debates prior
to the recess may be changed. A
pessimistic feeling has developed that
the senate will engage in such wide
spread controversy over the tariff that
no bill will be written at the special
session. The agricultural groups are
waging merry war for revision of
items dealing with farm products to
insure a higher rate of protection.
Defeated when he attempted to die
tate the tariff policy to the senate,
Senator Borah of Idaho, has at last
found an opportunity to speak on mat
tiers in which he is a recognized au-
thority-foreign relations. 1t is said
that whatever success has come to the
western senator is directly traceable
to his knowledge of foreign affairs.
Now that Ambassador Dawes and the
English government have renewed the
foreign debt readjustment and naval
limitation, Mr.. Borah is in high glee.
AS chairman of the Senate Committee
on Foreign Relations he is consulted
by administration officials and foreign
diplomats, which gives him an oppor-
tunity to renew his daily interviews
with the newspaper correspondents
and issue mimeographed statements
setting forth his opinions. Mr.. Borah
has wisely chosen to forget his re-
in of Of noft
ture.

SpeedOmeter Records
Condition of Highway

An ordinary speedometer, which
shows the speed the car is travelling
and records the distance travelled,
may also be an indicator of the road
conditions. When speedometer re-
cords a greater distance between two
towns than shown in the road guides,
people either blame the speedometer
or the road guide, but really the
trouble may be in the road itself
Usually when trip is made over
paved road, with tires properly in
flated, the speedometer will record
the correct mileage. The same thing
will happen on a dirt or gravel road
when it is hard and smooth. But if
the road is rough and bumpy, or if
inches of loose gravel or mud, the
slippage of the rear wheels may
cause the speedometer to record six
or eight extra miles on hundred
mile stretch of road.
If the speedometer records fewer
miles than are shown in the road
guide, there is usually only one ex-
planation: The Highway department
has shortened and Strengthened the
road since the mileage table was cor
rected. Very often by relocating the
road the distance may be shortened
10 or Is per cent and in some cases
as much as 80 or 40 per cent.
differentiation of tires will cause
the speedometer to record some extra
miles. Oversize or undersize tires
will also affect the record. But if
the speedometer records many more
miles than the correct mileage of any
highway, it is usually evidence that
the road carries more traffic than it
should carry, so that the traffic has
cut up the road surface material. If
many extra miles are recorded, it is
sure sign that the road needs i'm
prOvement.

A LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT
lBY S. w. StrauSl

(By >. w. StrduS)
Those who would get ahead financi-
ally can hope to do so only by putting
their dollars to work for them. In
view of the spectacular stories often
heard about wealth being quickly won,
the gradual and steady accumulation
and unsatisfactory to many, yet in the
long run greater progress is made
this way by most persons than through
the practices of financial magic.
The newspapers of the country re-
Gently told of the filing for probate
in Indiana of peculiar will. By the
terms of this testament the sum Of
$4,000 is to be held in trust for a
period of 200 years. At the end of
that time, the estate will, it was set
forth, be worth $160,000,00O, which
vast amount is to be given to various
charitable and welfare organizations.
The figures serve to illustrate the
enormous increase made possible
through compound interest. The sum
set aside in this will will have repro
duced itself about 5000 times within
the prescribed period.
While the lapse of time encompassed
in the terms of this will is three times
greater than the normal expectancy
of human life, the mathematical prin-
ciple~ responsible for this enormous
growth is no different from that which
may be taken advantage of by the
average person at any time. Modest
amounts of money deposited system
atically in savings bank or invested
in sound securities with the reinvest-
ment of the income thereof, grow into
comfortable fortunes within few
years. For illustration, the saving of
500 a month for Is years at per cent
compounded semi-annually will build
up a fortune of more than 100000. In
actual experience, the building up pro-
cesses are apt to be much more rapid
because as the years went by there
would doubtless be considerable in
crease in ones earning capacity and
it would be possible to save and in
vest on a steadily increasing scale.
Those who are seeking financial in
dependence can never hope to realize
their ambitions until they learn the
value of making their dollars work
for them. The amount may be small
at first, but it will grow as time goes
on and the results will be surprisingly
gratifying.

guard for me. II Morrow acquires the
idea that several folks are anxious to
see him up there, he's apt to be real
cautious how he prowls round the
Three Bar neighborhood looking for
me-"
Deane crossed over to Billie. The
music started but she shook hel head
as he would have led her to the floor.
"Sit down. want to talk with you.
Long limo no see 'um after tonight"
she said. It'll be daylight soon and
I've a long tale to tell.
AS the others danced she gave him
a dozen messages to impart to various
friends.
'aTell Judge Cotton that Three Bar
stock is rising" she said. "And that
as soon as things are all smo0thed
out, he can expect me for boarder."
Through an opening in the dancing
throng Deane suddenly had a clear
view Of the open rear door-one brief
glimpse before the ovid closed once
more and shut off his view. He had
and indistinct, few feet outside the
door. He wondered If 1t CO Id be the
friend for whom Harris had search d.
snake the visit soon. Billie" he
urged. ''It's been long month since
we've had you with us. We thought
maybe you'd deserted US back there.
How soon will this visit start-and
how long will 1t last?"
1T will start as soon as the Three
Bar doesn't need me-" she said. "And
last long time"
Again a lane opened through the
crowd, affording a view of the door.
Deane saw the face outside In the
night, and a foot or more below 1t
some bright object glinted in the dim
light which filtered through. The mu-
sic ceased and the chant Of the rou.
lette croupier began, mingling with
the smooth purr of the ivory ball.
There came q sudden hush from the
vicinity Of the rear door, hush that
spread rapidly throughout tn room,
so swift are the perceptions of from
tier gathering.
Old Rile Foster stood just inside.
his gun half-raised before him. Can.
field and Lang stood together In the
center of the floor, apart from the
rest and with no others in line beyond
them. Rile tossed boot heel on to
the floor and as it rolled toward the
two men he shot Garfield through the
chest. Lang's gun crashed almost
with his own. Rile's knees sagged un-
der him and he pitched face down on
the floor, his arms sprawled out before
him.
The surge of the crowd pressing
back out Of line, threw the albino on
the edge Of 1t, his big form towering
alone.
The old man raised his head from
the floor and crooked his wrist with
the last of his ebhing strength.
~our for Bangs" he said, and shot
Harper between the eyes.
