I'm your old school friend An order for your arrest here was issued 10 minutes ago." Whereupon the officer push ed him right over the international bridge, out of reach of Villas desperatdoes. Tellez never saw him again.

British and Japanese all tried to prevent Carranza from importing guns and munitions. Tellez got the shiploads through, under their noses.
 Many Difficult Tasks.
 In Mexico City after the war he was first named charge d'affaires a. Picking and then to Brussels. His bags were all packed to leave for Europe when Carranza summoned him from bed at 6 a. m. . "Congratulations!" said he president, you are going to the embassy in Washington" When do you want me to leave?" asked Tellez, Car ranza said: Tonight"
 In the next year Carranza was killed and Ambassador Bonillas dashed back to Mexico City. Tellez has been in charge of the embassy ever since; he was appointed am- gassador by President Gales in 1924.

Distilleries in Kentucky have been provid- ing drought relief. And not in the way the reader might infagine. They do 1t with water. A news picture shows big distii- lery in Louisville, which makes whiskey for medical use under government permit. com pletely surrounded by rural trucks and motor tanks waiting for their free cargoes of water to haul back homo for their families and live stock. It is one of thousand illustrations that might be given of the way private benev- olenee has been helping drough-strieken popu- lations while congress has argued and played politics There is also another lesson in this spectacle It reveals that private corporations are gradually controlling our sources of water supply, whereas the people through the state should own them

Supplying New Demands

The theory that the entire industry of the country is being absorbed into great concerns, which crowd the smaller producers out of business seems to overlook the enormous op- portunity created by the demand for new products and specialties. As the country grows in wealth. hundreds and thousands of faneies spring up at every turn. There are new things are called for. New fads and thousands of wants that did not exist 10 years ago. The nature of the demand is always changing. Store counters everywhere show bewildering succession of new things
 The great industries turn out mass pro- duction in standard models But when some new idea comes along, something for which new patterns and designs and machines have to be developed, some small producer who has well equipped little shop may stand as much chance of meeting that demand. as some great concern which is equipped for the quan- tty production of relatively small number of articles. Here then is great chance for thousands of ingenious and resourceful pro- ducers in Connecticut. New wants are com ing to light every day. Many of these wants they should be able to supply. There is always a chance for people with mechanical gift. The main thing is for people to be alert in discovering these new wants, and getting ready to meet them before too many others try it.
 The miniature golf craze would seem to have been an illustration of such opportuni- ties The people who started in early to make the equipment for this fascinating game must have gotten big lot of business. Such new fads are coming along all the t.i,.::c. Our producers should be quick to take advantage of them

vIGNY,S BIRTH
.1..

On Mar:h 27, 1799, Alfred Count de Vigny, famous French poet and novelist, was born at Lochea France.
 After receiving his early schoolin in Paris he entered the army at l ard served 12 years. While a soldie Ee had published a small volume O: verse, followed two years later by the epic. "Eloa," an exquisite piece of mystic fantasy.
 In 1926 Vigny published q lon historical romance "Cinq Mars, which gained immediate and gre9 success. Though he falsied his his tory little in this work, Vigny gained the distinction of being the first in a field where Dumas and Hugo were to gather brighter laur- els.
 Vigny did his bit in the romantic rejuvenation of the drama by trans- ]ating Shakespeare's Othello and by writing dramas. But he saw the lim- itations of romanticism in drama and never pursued his success. In 1845 he was elected to the academy.

THE MANUFACTURED CHICK

(New York Herald -Tribune)
 In haymows, sheds and the backs of broken wagons in dark corners of the barn where they think no one will see them, a few old-fashioned hens, come March and April, still steal their nests and raise their own chickens. They still believe that they must take care of their yellow infants, tell them about the perils of life in a great barnyard, call them under sheltering feathers at night and ask of each Are you all right?" being answered with a faint cheep which is the sleepiest sound in na- ture. They do not dream, these capable mothers, how unimportant they have become. For the setting hen is almost gone from the Ameri- can country scene where once she was a welcome sign of spring
 Easter chickens are made elec- trically by the million, in enormous factories now. They know nothing of running to hide from hawks, of hunting the worm at evening, of stretching their wings in the sun rise. Out at Frenchtown, N. J.. for example, is a vast chick machine. They are matched each in an "in- dividual sanitary compartment" in d UOA OI az SIcIl, Hke SOOuS III d store, and they live--like office workers in future architecture without ever seeing daylight or scratching earth. No maternal chuck reminds them of food, dusk or danger. They are a form of life as controlled as germs in a culture and as efficient, for although" de- prived of the natural elements pre- voiously thought essential to their existence" they have produced twice as many eggs as do chickens ac- quainted with sunshine, fresh air. the ground and it's denizens.
 About 10,000,O00 of the offspring of these giant electrical chickeries will depart from Jersey this spring for every state of the Union, still oc- cupying individual sanitary com partments. If a mother hen should call would they even know how to answer-t-these scions of ions, these Easter artifacts?

Among these inspee- tors are six who investigate the bakeries ot the state to see that the laws are ping obeyed. These positions pay $2,400 each. The bill which has just been reported favorably by the judiciary committee transfers the power of appointing these inspectors from the office of the labor commissioner to that of the dairy and food department. It is safe to say that if the measure is passed the present bakeshop inspectors will be continued in office by Dairy and Food Inspector Warner.

world is deeply interested and will
follow the doings of the committee
closely.
The committee includes thirteen
foreign ministers and is presided over
by NJ. BRAND himself. Sir Eric Drum
mond. secretary general of the league,
is in South America, so the chairman
is assisted by J. L. NJ. c. Avenol, the
assistant secretary, who is French
man.
There are numerous opponents of
the BRAND scheme, and they say moth
ing can come of it. Great Britain es-
pecially cannot look on 1t with favor
because she is both European and a
world power and such union as is
proposed would probably work to the
injury of her vast dominions. The
"revisionist" states. such as Germany,
Hungary and Italy, would scarcely
support the plan before their bound
airy lines were changed to suit them.
The permanent officials of the League
of Nations feel that the suggested I'm.

worldwide ideals. Even in France
there are many against the plan, for

parently doesn't hope for more at this
