Natives of New York and those who have migrated to the city in the quest for glitter of gold were astonished this week to see an old time ox-eart moving slowly down Broadway enroute to Washington. D. C. A pair of giant white-faeed Here ford cattle drew the cumbersome vehicle. whose wheels. fashioned entirely of wood. were five feet in diameter. Wooden axleS were also feature of it. In the wagon was load of Maine potatoes being sent to President Hoover by Governor William Tudor Gardiner of Maine. Maine has plenty of potatoes to spare this year. SO many. in fact, that the majority of them are rotting right in the ground. It seems pity with so many destitute families in the land that these excellent tubers can't be put to some good purpose. Yet we can't blame the Maine farmers for not digging them. It would cost more to do this than they could receive in turn for selling them. Here's a chance for some organization interested in welfare work to do something to aid the needy. We should think Maine farmers could be employed in digging their own po- tatoes and could be paid both for the labor and the vegetables. Then pay them for pack ing and shipping the potatoes to vantage points where they could be distributed or sold at a minimum price We prefer the former. SO that legitimate dealers might not suffer from the competition.

CAPTURE OF JAFFA

CAEIUhE Or sOACrh
 On November IS, 1917. British forces tok the city of Jaffa on the Mediterranean, 32 miles northwest of Jerusalem.
 Australian and New Zealand mounted troops had entered the city without opposition the day before. Jerusalem itself was threatened with the taking of Jaffa.
 Accounts of the capture of the city said that many of Jaffa's in- habitants had left in March, 1917, but that many remained. The Turks did not attempt to destroy the city, which was found in good order.
 A few Europeans were left in Jaffa when the Anzac troops en- tered.
 The convents and hospitals were left undamaged, and the German colony of Sarona, which was totally intact. was incorpo- rated within the lines of the Brit ish forcese. It's inhabitants re- mained.
 Orange orchards to the east of Jaffa had been thinned by the cutting of trees for fuel.

HARDER SHOOTING
Bridgeport Telegraph

Thomas Beck of Wilton. chair man of the State Fish and Game commission, made some interesting statements in the course of re- cent address at Newtown. For one thing he promised the sportsmen of Connecticut better hunting, but harder shooting" This was not a contradictory remark as might be carelessly assumed. What MT Beck meant was that he hoped to pro- vide more birds. but birds that would be harder to hit. He ex7 plained this more in detail by stat ing that in future he expected to release fully grown pheasants in the spring so that by hunting sea- son they would be thoroughly ac- climated and wild.
 As it is, the pheasants which are released shortly before the start of the hunting season are sluggish and semitame. Some of them might be knocked over with a club. It really seems @ shame to shoot them.
 Eventually 1t is to be hoped that process of acclimating will be applied to trout which. by being placed in the streams at the end Of the fishing season instead of the beginning, will have chance to get over their breeding-pool slug gishness and their liver-fed taste.
 Early srelease of game birds in- wolves some control of predatory animals. particularly cats. Mention has already been made of MT Beck's plan for licensing cats. The difficulty involved here is deep- seated prejudice upon the part of cat owners against any licensing scheme.l Equally difficult will he any plan to deal on a large scale with hawks and owls. since most nature-lovers object to the extern ination of such birds and resen: their being chased by sportsmen as "vermin."
 As for crows they have long been outlawed but are apparently well able to take care of them selves - a fact at which the nature lover is inclined to smile, even though he realizes that the crow is a villain who destroys many use- ful birds, particularly In the nest ing season.
 Mir Beck believes that the time will cdme when many farmers will raise game as profitable side is- sue, leasing the shooting rights on their grounds, and that public or privately leased grounds will con-
 stitute the greater part of the game area of Connecticut. Considering the fact that the area of posted land is being rapidly extended. thii Viewpoint is probably correct and Il explains the commissioners desire

Parking is still menace to traffic in Wa terbury. And one of the worst streets is lower Grand. We just have to look over the top of our typewriter to watch the knots and snarls that occur with frequency down on this end of the thoroughfare. Some day it will either become one-way street or else the trolley tracks will be removed. Then there may be cessation of traffic tieups.

 Indians Neeu Work
 Reverting to the labor situation, Maj. Elliott said In--ans on the Richardson Highway are badly in need of work. The Commission is employing them as largely as pos sible, but the character of work they can do is limited to hand la Dor. They do not make good ma chine operators.
 The Commission has one Indian crew It cannot mix them with it's white crews. This is a condi- ton which exists, one which even if the Commissioned desired, 1t could not possibly change, he said
 The great advantage of air travel over ordinary methods were strik- ingly demonstrated in Maj Eli ott's recent visit to Kodiak and Bristol Bay. In two days, he said, he covered an area and did every thing he desired to do, which un- der ordinary travel methods would have required at least six weeks.

Engineers Oppose

Opposition to legislation
authorizing the Army Air Corps
to make tests on aircraft and
aircraft equipment was voiced at

The objection is based on the
ground that it would authorize

with a few limited exceptions, to
enter into competition with
private enterprises, and carry on
a multiplicity of experiments
which are not defined.
