POWER MEN TO
 CONSERVE TREES
Heavy Tree Trim ming Avoided If Possible in
 Swinging Wires
MUCH REFORESTATlON

Conservation of existing trees along Connecticut's highways and the reforestation of lands in the vicinity of their hydro electric plants has become an important adjunct to public utility operation in this state during the past five years; and, with the former now on a standardized basis, the latter is being developed to greater ex- tent each year.
 With respect to reforestation, several electric companies are CO., operating with the efforts of the state forester to interest the people of the state. Back as far as 1925, the Connecticut Light and Power company began reforestation work with an initial planting of about 5000 trees and has since increased its activity in this direction until about 10000 to 50,000 trees are now planted annually. Most of the work has been done in Kent and New Milford in the vicinity of the companys hydro developments. Red pine is principally planted be- cause it is less subject to tree dis eases than white pine.
 Power and light utilities, the telephone company, gas and water companies since the organization of the state highway departments landscape division in 1927 have been cooperating with the latter in observing its regulation with re- spect to the stringing of wires and the laying of underground mains and conduits. Every effort is made to avoid injury to trees along the highway whenever new carriers are placed or the older ones changed. The branches are guarded by stringing wires and placing poles so that heavy trimming is avoided, often by the use of "outrig' cross arms and specia types of wire. In the laying of underground carriers. the roots of the trees are well pro- tected so that no damage is done. All work of this type is planned and conducted in close cooperation with the highway department tree warden. Permits are secured by the utilities before any operations of this type are undertaken.

Wine Bricks And Beer C Compounds Here
Time and Yeast Cake Work Wonders on Latest Drinks Cluttering Market

fered in several local stores. An imposing legal array headed by the once ardent prohibition director, Mable Willebrant. claim that the wine bricks are within the law. A decision is pending in the United States district court of Connecticut on certain connections from which real beer is allegedly made.
 A few days ago the Democrat published a story of federal agents visiting the old Hellmann Brew ing company and taking samples of a new drink that an organized company is manufacturing. In it. self the beverage, like other basic ingredients, is not so "hot", but with water and yeast added the miracle" is completed.
 Drug stores have been carrying on a trade that has featured the reproduction of wines made in pre- Volstead days by internationally known companies. These wines. however, are not instant magic. It takes six weeks to obtain the best results possible. The approaching winter months may prove a season of many great experiments in the wine and beer industry.
 Here's another angle. One of the largest wholesale and retail dealers of preparations for home brewing in Waterbury claims that the demand for root beer extracts during the summer months was the greatest in history.

The Southern New England Tel ephone company's directory is Con- necticut's "best seller" as well as a priting job of no mean size. In the last edition, recently distributed throughout the state, 330,O0O copies were run from the presses and delivered to subscribers. Com pilation of the telephone directory has become such a huge job in Connecticut that the former meth- od of simultaneous distribution in all parts of the state has been abandoned, the deliveries now be- ing made one district at a time.
 This last edition contained 263,- 19O separate listings in the white pages and 44,71S business listings in the classified section, making 8 total of 3O7,9OS in all. Some 34S.- 474 pounds of paper were used be- tween the covers and the covers themselves weighed 32,49S pounds, the wegiht of the average book thus being slightly less than one pound and two ounces. Approxi- inately 4,492 pounds of ink were poured on the rollers of the press during the printing.
 One of the most important tasks fin connection with the directory is the compilation of the list of names. About fifty per cent of the listings were changed in the last edition, requiring 131,972 changes

NEW DEVISE TO
 INSPECT RAILS N. H. Road Uses Electric DetectOr Car to Locate
 Invisible Pastures REPLACE FAULTY IRONS

Chances of broken rails caused by hidden. internal Assures in the steel have been practically elimin- ated on the system of the New Haven railroad by the introduction within the past year of what is known as a "Detector Car" a vehicle containing electrical ap- paratus which with uncanny ac- curacy seeks out and definitely marks the location of rail flaws which are invisible to the human eye. This car, the invention of Elmer D. Sperry, creator of the gyroscope, was rented from the American Railway association to inspect the New Haven's "irons" and all faulty sections of track were replaced. Similar inspec- tions will be made periodically in the future.
 The detector car moves over the rails at a speed of about six miles an hour under its own power fur nished by a gasoline motor. It's generator, operated also be gaso- line, sends a current through three feet of track through rolling con- tacts beneath the car, causing a magnetic field to be set up in the rail. Electric coils detect any distortion of the magnetc field caused by a defect that prevents the free flow of current. The "pick up' of these coils is ampli- fled so that any variation sets the cars apparatus in operation.
 Pen points operating on a roll of paper moving at a corresponding speed with the car are motivated electrically to mark on the roll the location of the defects if any are found. When a rail flaw is passed, the pens deviate from a straight line, the lengths of devil ation denoting the seriousness of the internal Assure or other flaw. As an additional marker, white paint under pressure is automatic ally sprayed onto the base of the rail at the point where the mag netic field is distorted, so that a definite check is made both on the roll and on the rail. Defec- tice sections are immediately re- placed.

That Is the Report of Chair man Woods of Emer= gency Employment Com= mittee in Answer to the Questions
BY THOMAS l.. STOKES. United Press Staff COrrcSDOndcnt


 Washington, Jan 7.-UP)- Chairman Arthur Woods of the presidents emergency employment committee told the senate appro- priation committee to-day that be- tween 4,000,000 and 5.0O0,000 per sons were unemployed in the United States. He appeared as a witness before the committee inqulring into the adequacy of administration drought and unemployment relief plans.
 My best estimate" Woods said, is that between 100000 and D. 100000 persons are completely un- employed at the present time and my feeling is that this situation won't improve until the spring."
 Woods said a census of the un- employed by regular census workers was planned for mid-January in large cities and he expects those fig ures to represent the situation at it's worst because employment is likely to be lowest in January and February"
 Replying to questions from Sena- tor Copeland. dem. N. Y., and Sena- tor Bratton, dem. N. NJ, Woods said there was distressing amount" of unemployment and that a situation wherein capable. eager persons were unable to otbain work was "intoler- able"
 "The situation in 1920-21 was not far different" Woods continued. If we say now that we are dragging the bottom and that employment is likely to improve, this current situ- alton would not be far different from 1920-21. There is altogether too much of it. The way these things come about doesn't look well for the way in which business is organized. We used to consider such conditions inevitable. but we are learning they should not be-"
 Woods said he believes unemploy-
