A car driven by Charles Langc o kcnsington smashed into a car driv cn by William Johnson of Middle town, near the depot about 1l:3t o'clock Saturday night. Constable RitChie was called to the scene o the accident shortly after it hap. pncd and arrested Langc, According 10 the story of the drivers, Johnson was driving toward New Britain anL was under the bridge in kcnSingtor when the car driven by Langc dart "d out of Main street and met John sons car, damaging both machines extensively.

 Even though indications had pointed to q quiet week end, the un- usually fine motoring weather brought an almost endless stream of motor cars Saturday and Sunday TIL 2 heavy traffic Saturday was due 10 the fact that the Yale Maryland game was being played in New Hay cn. Many cars went through with loads of children, several carloads from Kensington. Berlin. and East Berlin being added to the stream.

 Constables Not On Duty
 last Sunday was the official end ing of the period during which the local constables do traffic duty, The period, beginning on Memorial Day in May and extending through the month of October, consisting Of some g Sundays.
 Traffic yesterday showed that the season is far from over. Streams of cars moved through town in both directions. Unusually severe jams oc- currod at the top of Galpln's hill and several minor crashes resulted from the sudden stopping Of cars as they attempted 10 turn into the road leading to Middletown. At one time traffic was tied up on the hill as one car stalled halfway 10 the top. Comments have been heard all summer regarding the corner lead ing toward MiddletoWn. 1t is conSld- cred one of tho most dangerous corners in the town, and drivers un- aquaintcd with the sharp turn often attempt 10 make quick sweep, Wit the result that other cars approach ing the top are endangered. It has been suggested that something be done to eliminate the turn or to inn prove the short cut below the town hall.

About Building

QWesti0Ms addressed to this pa
per tOiH be answered by the Arcll-
tects' Small House Service BWreas

q stamped addressed envelope.
Q-The plaster gets wet On
the walls where the pipe from
the bathroom comes down. This
happens only when II 10 very
cold. What IL the trouble, and
how can we fix It?
A-The difficulty IL probably due
to condensation, but there may be q
leak in the pipe. Plaster should not
touch the pipe n any case. In or
der to prevent this 6-inch studs
should be used to inclose q standard
4-inch soil stack. Inspection of the
construction win bring out whether
your partitions were constructed in
this way. II the wall Is too thin, II
will have to be furred out. If the
stack leaks, It will have to be re-
paired. Employ q plumber to make
an inspection.
Owe plan to build a home In
the country and are considering
sthe advisability of installing Q
garbage incinerator. We have
heard arguments pro and con.
Would greatly appreciate your
advice.
A-People who have incinerators
praise them highly. In regions
where garbage collections are infre-
Quent or not carried on at all, the
incinerator has special merits. In
any case, they are undoubtedly con-
venient.
Q-I paid enough money as
first payment for the contractor
to buy the lOt The balance il
to be paid In monthly payments.
The bank viii furnish the first
mortgage money. When the
time for signing the final papers
comes, viii be entitled 70 see
the first mortgage and deed to
the lot to see If it is clear?
Since the contractor holds the
title to the property, can q per-
SON obtaining Judgment against
him obtain . lien against the
property?
A-These questions are Of q legal
nature and should be handled by an
attorney. Undoubtedly you are en-
titled to know the terms OF the con-
tract into which you are entering,
including mortgages, deeds and
other contractional arrangements.
We advise you strongly to employ
an attorney, who will see that the
contracts are thoroughly inspected
and that you receive the protection
to which you are entitled. The fee
should not be large; the advice may
be worth . great deal.
Q-There IL q leak coming
from near the chimney. The
roofing man says It is the fault
of the chimney and not the
roof, that the leak comes from
inside the chimney. Can this be
true? If 30, what is the best
thing to do about It?
Att can be true. Water often
gets down the walls of a chimney
where the coping at the top Is not
waterproof. It would be well to
have competent builder inspect
this. Be sure Of the Hastings
against the chimney.

EASTERN RAILROAD
SITUATION CONFUSED
Report That Pennsy Is Friendly to
Wabash Proposal Is I'm
confirmed.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, May 2-The surprising
feature of the application of the Wa
bash Railroad, to be filed with the In
terstate Commerce Commission for
merger with the Western Maryland, and
presumably with the so-called Taplin
roads, is the support claimed for 1t from
the Pennsylvania Railroad manage
ment.
This has confused the entire Eastern
railroad situation. 1t is the subject of
animated discussion among railroad
men and bankers for the trunk-line
systems. So far the Pennsylvania has
not declared its position in this newest
development, but it may be stated con-
f1dently that the claims that have been
made that the Pennsylvania has Off
cially shown friendliness toward the
Wabash proposal have no foundation in
fact. Furthermore, the Pennsylvania is
not likely to mix in with any such
scheme.
It was the Pennsylvania Railroad
that eventually put quietus on the
scheme of L. F. Loree for fifth system
between tidewater and the Mississippi
and in which the Wabash, then con-
trolled by Loree and the Lehigh Valley,
were to be integral parts, together with
the Delaware & Hudson. Steady oppo-
sition to this plan came from the In
terstate Commerce Commission, which,
one By one, denied the various applica-
tons of Mr. Loree to build new line
into Pittsburgh and to lease the Buff
falo, Rochester 81 Pittsburgh, which
was later bought by the Van Sweringens
and then sold to the Baltimore & Ohio
1t is understood that in the tentative
plan of railroad alignment in the East
which has been prepared by Commits
sioner Porter of the Interstate Com
merce Commission, only four major
systems are recommended, or the same
number as in the original plan drawn
up some years ago.
Holders of railroad securities, as vel
as railroad managers, are becoming in
| creasingly discouraged over the constant
blocking of all of the plans proposed
for railroad consolidation. While the
main philosophy of the industrialiStS Is
toward Capitalization, and thereby sta
bilization not only of prices but OF
production, there is lack of strong
governmental support of the railroad
consolidation idea This obviously af-
fects the attitude of the public toward
railroad securities, which is at present
chilled to such degree that railroad
stocks stand still, while the shares OF
scores of industrial companies ars
| booming.

severe business depressions, they have
shown very small declines. In the past
10 years Wrigleys net profits have in
creased five-fold.
Today Wrigley is a worldwide Or
ganization with two factories in the
United States and three in foreign
countries. 1t owns the Wrigley Build
ing in Chicago free of mortgages. With
almost Sl5,000,000 in cash and market
able securities. and with no funded
debt ahead of the common, the COM
pany's financial position is remarkably
strong.
The company has a long record OF
dividends which have been increased
as earnings grow. Earnings in 1922
were $342 and steadily progressed to
are running ahead of that figure.
which indicates that the SO regular and
75-cent extra dividends now being paid
are well secured. At rs the stock yields
5 per cent and sells at Is times last
years earnings.
American Chicle.
American Chicle Co., the second
largest manufacturer of chewing gums
was formed a few years after Wrigley
with the purpose of consolidating many
smaller gum companies. Inc Original
trade names of the products were re-
tanned. accounting for the Chicle Co. s
variety of brands, Adams Chewing
Gums, Chiclets. Beeman's, Sen Sen
Breathlets and Dentyne.
The company maintains four factories
in North America: one in Canada, one
in Mexico and two in the United States
one on either coast In Mexico, Guate-
mala and British Honduras the COM
pany has concessions of 100000 acres
of producing land.
American Chicle has not grown SC
uninterruptedly as Wrigley. In fact, In
1922 a readjustment of the company's
affairs was necessary. Since then, how
ever, aided by increasing earnings and
the sale of common stock, bank loans
have been paid off and the prior prefer
ence stock retired.
Last year the common stock was split
two for one. On the basis Of this new
stock, the price has increased from 20
to over so in two years. Since 1928
earnings have risen steadily from $1,l5
to $415 a share last year. With the
stock at 81, the yield on the 50 dividend
is 81 per cent, which is lower than the
yield on Wrigley stock. Like Wrigley, ii
is selling at Is times last years earn
