MARRY-GO-ROUND

kiss her is just an insulting
way of laying all the re-
sponsibility on HER" Don't

"The man who kisses a girl
at the first opportunity is a
fool; the man who waits for
the second opportunity is a
philosopher; the man who waits
for the third, is a speculator,
and the man who waits any
longer is-a freak.
So you SEE what a serious
thing kiss was before the
World War-and what a bright
girl I was! That was my first
book-but OH, what a differ
ence in the second book! Please
note:
"Kisses are as plentiful in a
mans life. these days, as taxi
cabs on Broadway; and like
the taxis. they are getting
cheaper-and cheaper"
"a man used to wonder If a
girl COULD be kissed; now, he
is thankful to find one who
doesn't HAVE to be kissed"
Nowadays, a man kisses a
girl with his hand on his pulse,
his mind on the traffic and his
eye on the taximeter."
Once, it seemed to me that
if the kiss lost its charm, flavor,
kick and significance. I should
be right in the class with
Othello. Nothing to write about!
But. one can get used to ANY
THING. Now, everybody kisses

COmites Club
 Minstrel Show
Presented Good Perform. ance at Mill Plain
 Union Church

Indictment weather was respon. sible for q meager attendance at the benefit performance of the Co. mites Club minstrel troupe last night at the Mill Plain Union church gymnasium, but 1t failed to dampen the spirit of the youthful troupers who successfully present ed their show for the fifth time in two months. The applause which greeted the various entertainers was evident that their numbers were well received, for practically every soloist responded with ono or more encores.
 Francis Carr and Joseph I4cggett were the fun-makers and they cer- tainly lived up to their regulations as end men. The formers kidding antics in the aisles of the gym with members of the opposite sex had the audience in uproars through out.
 Francis Grove was forced to sing four encores of "l<iss Me Good night" before his listeners ceased appiauding as did the diminutlve but golden voiced Edward Corri. gan with Somebody Loves You" Dorothy Byron, Dorothy smith. Dolly Carroll and Marjorie uiynn gave clever dem onstrations of thelr terpischorean ability.

STATE GAS SALES
 | DROP FROM l93l
For First Time Since De. pressiofl Set in a Loss Is Reported
S.4 PER CENT DECREASE

For the first time since the re- versal of business conditions early in 1880, sales of manufactured gas, while still large involume in com. parison with that year, have un- dergone q consistent decline in Connecticut during the first quar- ter of the current year. Data rec ported by thirteen companies whose sales constitute 92 per cent of the total sales of gas in Connec- ticut show that the combined de- cline of January and February amounted to s.4 percent as com. pared with the same period of last year. The slump was due 10 tho continued decline in. Business con- ditions and to the extremely warm weather prevalent in January and February.
 The toaI sales for those months slumped from 1.si5,432.000 cubic feet in 1891 to 1,663,661,00O cubic feet. Domestic utilization of gas dropped 4.8 percent and industrial and commercial use 8.2 percent. both, categorIes remaining high in the total volume of sales, however.

 FIRST QUARTER
Conn Generation at New Low Level Water
 Power Abundant
OFF 30 PER CENT

Production of electricity by the steam ana hydro plants of Connec- ticut public utilities dropped to a new low mark during the first quarter of 1882, according to the States geological survey.
 During the first three months of the year, the total generation was more than thirty percent below the figure for the corresponding period of 1881. The most drastic decline came in January, usually the month in which electrical produc- ton is at it's height. This year the kiiowatt hour output for the first month of the year was 33.6 percent below that of January, 1881. Febr ruary and March followed with generation deficits of 2S and 20 percent, respectively.
 The actual. production was as follows:
 Month Kii0watt hours
 January ......... 9O,7b8,000 Fepfuary ........ SS,36l,VOO
 March ........... 93,561,000
 All of the decline in generation as compared with 1881 was not due to business conditions. how. ever, Rivers and streams in New Hampshire and Vermont have been at flood during the first three months of the year and hydro electric stations located on them have enjoyed a tremendously in- creased production, New Hamp- shire showing an increase in total output of 158 and 46 percent in February and March. Through in- terconnection with these stations a substantial amount of this sur plus is brought to Connecticut, thus enabling economies at the steam generating stations in this state. Meanwhile Connecticut's hydro plants have been far from idle. While none of the first three months even approach the high record, the water power output of each was normal or better for those months.
