Vice Hints Led to War
 On IT TaXicab Drivers

Hartford, July 24- Complaints that taxicab patrons had been so- hcited for purposes of vice was the cause of the recent drive opened against operators of public service vehicles with criminal records, ac- cording to Police Chief Farrell of this city. The war opened yester- day when announcement was made that IT licenses had been revoked.
 Complaints registered at police headquarters charge that taxi driv- CTS accost men at the railroad station and suggest that they go to places of i'll repute. If this suggestion is not frowned upon. police say, the next is that they first go to a place where liquor can be purchased. Tn this manner the driver is able to boost his tariff.

This is the same proposition that was
submitted to the Legislature two years

acted at that time at the request of

almost as soon as presented two years
ago, the opposition of supervisors
county ofhcials and members of the
road police being unanimous to such
consolidation. W. F. p. Reid. chair
man of the board of supervisors. stated
this morning that he was surprised
that the measure had been revived
and he was confident that the mem
bers of the board of supervisors were
stu unanimously opposed to such a
transfer and would take appropriate

at one Of their meetings next week.
Haywood Durrer, captain of the road
police, started that he had not been
consulted, was not in favor of the pro-
posed change and would do all he could
to prevent the amalgamation Of the two
forces. He stated that the road police.
who work on q salary basis, not on the
fee system, were by the supervisors
on appointment by the court to police
the roads, and that if transferred to
the sheriff's staff they would be re-

Commemorative Attorney Wilson M

TUNE DOWN THE RADIO

This is the season of the year when the
radio owner can develop into a neighbor-
hood pest, unless he shows little con-
sideration for others in his immediate vi
cinity, particularly at night.
With doors and windows wide open,
sounds not heard in the cooler times, are
admitted into homes and often prevent
tired men and women from getting bad
ly needed sleep.
There is no sense, and certainly no con-
sideration for the rights of others, in per-
in permitting ones radio to operate
wide open" into the late hours of the
night. Radio sets are more or less af-
flicted with bad cases of static here in
the summer, and to have one screeching
and sqawking far into the night, is
enough to make a person wish to COM
NIT murder on the owner who permits
such a nuisance to exist.
We are informed by an attorney that
such practice can be considered nuls-
ance and that those who commit it can
be summoned into court upon proper
complaint being made to the police.

mer than we do in the winter, and to be

WE'RE YOUNG YET

To most of us the American Revolu-
ton is as dim and ancient as the wars of
the Pharoahs, with the exception that
history lessons in school may have left
US with a better impression of what it
was all about, plus the names of its lead
ing characters and battles.
1t will be strange news to most of US
to learn that there recently died in Mich
igan, Mrs. HELEN NJ Barrett, SO, real
Daughter of the Revolution, whose father
fought under Washington at Trenton
and at Yorktown Not only is this sur
prising, but so is the fact that her death
leaves eight remaining real Daughters Of
the Revolution.
Mrs. Barrett's father, according to our
source of information in current mag
azine. was 7S years old when she was
born. When she was first married she
spun and wove the family clothing, bak
ed. made soap, candles and did many 9TH
er jobs that are just so much Greek (heav-
en- be praised) to the modern housewife.
That there are persons living who heard
from the lips of the men who participat-
ed in it, tales of Americas struggle for
liberty, indicates just how young we are
as a nation.
Just previous to reading of Mrs. Bar
rett. we read of the death this week OF
the oldest marine, which occurred at San
Pedro. He had seen service on the
"windiammers" of the old navy, and had
served with Dewey when the latter was
a Young officer under Farragut at Mo-
bile and New Orleans. To us he seemed
ancient. but there is a goodly number OF
men and women in the country who can
recall incidents in the nations history
far beyond the Civil War.
Perhaps it is because we are so young
that we have made so much progress as
