Highway Commissioner John A. Macdonald to-day announced ten new highway projects which in- clude approximately twenty miles of road improvement. Eight of the new jobs will be undertaken under the town aid act : appropriation, one will be state aid and one will be Q combination of state aid and town aid. The improvement will take place on twenty-eight different sections of road. The work consists chiefly of gravel surfacing with twostretches of trap rock wa ter-bound macadam.
 In the notice sent to contractors inviting them to bid on these pro- jects, Commissioner Macdonald stated that in the employment of unskilled labor the contractor who is the successful bidder and who is awarded the contract for high way or bridge work, "shall give preference to residents of the town in which the work is being per- formed, conditions of price and efficiency being equal and provided such laborers are not aliens. In event such laborers cannot be se- cured in such town, preference shall be given to citizens of the state of Connecticut" All hiring of le,Ior will be completely in the charge of the contractor to whom the work is awarded. No hiring will be done by the state highway department.
 Sealed bids will be received

 the meantime the Connecticut com-
 pany will be expected by the board
 to repair the pavement between its tracks on North Main. street,
 Bank street, South Main street, on
 Willow street, from JRidgewood
 street, northerly, and on Congress
 avenue. An order to this effect
 was passed last night by the board.
 The company, only has to care for
 the pavement several inches each
 side of the rails.
 At the hearing on the proposed
 layout and grade of Dixie avenue
 practically all those present were
 in favor of the plans. However,
 whether it was due to the hOt
 weather or something else, about
 II property owners did not appear.
 The board voted to defer action on
 the matter until later. The resi-
 dents favoring the project, pointed out that their retaining walls are
 being undermined because of mud and puddles of water that result from rain storms. If the street Is
 brought to grade. it was explained, this situation would be brought to
 grade, it was explained, this stua- tion would be relieved.
 The board asked the aldermen for authority to lay sewer in Granite street. At the last meet ing of the board hearing was held but the property owners were split up over the merits of the pt- tition. The board decided last night, however, that the extension of the present sanitary sewer is necessary. It is understood that funds are available for the work. As for the proposed sewer on Thomaston avenue, from Homer to Sheffield streets, it was decided not to- do anything about it un- til it is definitely found out when the state plans to pave the thor oughfare.. .Thomaston avenue :s now in the state trunk line system of highways. It was explained that 1t would be a waste of money to tear up the present pavement and then relay it if the state de- partment is going to come through soon and lay an entirely new sur face. The Thomaston avenue sewer was authorized last year. Superintendent Fleming was authorized to replace the present water main in Patterson court with a new one. The present main IS corroded badly.
 Several more requests for per- mission to hang beer signs were received from local taverns and
 restaurants. They were referred to the superintendent of streets with power to act.

Board Of Works Omits It In Jobs
 Just Authorized
Cooke E. Liberty Streets and Watertown Avenue to Get New Surfaces-Will Use Up $85,OOO ApprO- priation for Year-City May Get Federal Funds for E. Main Street Work

Possibility of East Main street. from Brown street to Wolcott street, being paved this year now appears slim following action last night by the board of works in oredring practically all of the years paving appropriation of S85,0O0 spent on other thorough fares. However, 1t was stated. 1t may yet be possible to do the work with the assistance of money from the government through the medi- um of the federal public works board. The city has planned this paving job for the past couple of years, but has been unable, so far to get to it.
 Last nights paving jobs were allotted to upper Cooke street, Wa tertown avenue, from Robbins street to Bunker Hill avenue, and East Liberty street, from Mill to Baldwin streets. Superintendent of Streets Thomas J. Fleming will direct the work and the operations will be carried out entirely by employees of the street department.
 This years paving approprfa- ton is $85,00O. Some of this has been used in repairing old pave- ments. The three jobs ordered last night are expected to eat up the rest of the appropriation. The pavement on East Liberty street will be of penetration nature. Thee shoulders on Watertown ave- nues will be given the most atten- ton, rather than the center of the highway as the center now has a permanent pavement. The should CTS will be given semi-permanent pavement. The pavement on Cooke street will run from Pennington avenue to Greenwood avenue. Su- perintendent Fleming was author ized. to proceed as far as Leffing- we'll avenue if the money holds out. It is expected that the three jobs

Says Corn Borer Is Not Poisonous Infested Ears Can Be Used By Cutting Out Bad
 Kernals

New Haven, Aug 2.--Dr ". P.
 Britton, who, being entomologisl oi the Connecticut Agricultural Ex-
 periment station, is well acquainted
 with the corn borer. had woro to-day on the presen situation III regard to this pest. Early sweet corn is infested as never belore and in some localities 1t is almost impossible to produce an ear of corn free from worms, which IS unhappy for both the producer and consumer. The sweet corn or
 Connecticut is one of it's fines fiow-
 CTS, and until recently the ears
 were clean and unblemished.
 The grower would like to know whether he has to turn his corn < over to the bugs, or give 1t up alto- gether. The housewife calls up Dr Britton to ask whether the borer is poisonous.
 aCorn borers can be destroyed" ]" the entomologist said. ''In order to get as many as possible. .cornstalks should be plowed under, run through a cutter or shredder and fed. to cattle, or burned with oil,
 as soon as the ears are harvested.
 If the stalks are allowed to remain
 until dry the moths. will emerge
 and law eggs for the second brood. Some persons seem to regard the corn borer as poisonous and
 will not eat any infested ears. As
 a matter of fact the borers are not poisonous, and if cut out, the re-
 maining kernels of the ear may be
 cleaned and used for food. If
 severe corn borer damage con-
 tinues, we shall all be thankful to
 make use of whatever the boEers
 have left.'

normal cases Of husband murder, Il Is
naturally those stories which present
strange or abnormal features which
arouse the interest of the average human
being.
A real mystery, though not so great
a mystery as the case in which, in the
view of the present writer, Mrs. Bravo
did not murder her husband, surrounded
a murder which at the time made the
most prodigious stir in that part of the
world commonly known in England as
the Somerset Vaughan territories
which the British Empire holds in fee.
THE strange and sinister events, which
I can only briefly summarize, took
place in what was then the treaty port
of Yokohama. A certain young couple,
Mr.. and Mrs. Carew, were, in sense,
social king and queen of the British
colony residing on the island Both
were still young, he the popular secre-
tary of the local country club, she a
member of well known English country
family and noted for her exceptional
good looks. Each appeared devoted to
the other; indeed appeared" seems the
wrong word, for when Mrs. Carew was
tried for the murder of her husband
their letters, read aloud in court, ex-
pressed the deepest love; her letters
generally began with my Own Darlinga
and ended with "Your ever-loving wife.s
little boy and girl crowned theil
married happiness, and pleasant addi-
tion to the household was a yoang

would transform her from something
very like a slave into a free and happy
human being, she took her awful chance.
She was acquitted by jury of men.
Yet another enigmatical murder case
as to which masculine and feminine
opinion was sharply divided was that of
a young wife who, the prosecutor urged
the jury to find, undoubtedly poisoned
an elderly husband, not because-so far
as any one was able to discover-she
loved another, but because the love Of
her own man for her took the form
of hideous and never-c -ceasing jealousy.
She could scarcely speak to member
of the opposite sex or even meet man
by accident at friends house without
being compelled to endure an ignoble
scene in which she was accused of COM
mitting adultery in her heart. The fact
that by her husbands death she lost
a considerable part of their joint for
tune-for his jealousy, as it often does
in man of that sort, endured beyond
the grave-contributed to her acquittal
on the part of the jury also, like the
first case quoted, entirely composed of
men.
To return, however, to what one must
call, for want of better term, more

tile an essence in the case of man, seems
to go on, like a flame growing ever
stronger and stronger, with many
women; indeed, in the vast majority
of cases it is love for another man
which drives a wife to murder her
husband.
Vet there are striking exceptions to
this almost universal rule In a case
which aroused great interest and specu-
lation all over Europe, an attractive and
well educated woman, apparently on
good terms with her husband, was tried
on the charge of killing him in pc
culiarly clever and crafty way. To
every man who discussed the story there
appeared to be no conceivable motive
for her crime, but many a woman whis-
pered to herself that what her fellow
wife was said to have done was not so
very strange after all, for the husband,
while very wealthy, was fantastically
penurious. He doled out the money cent
by cent to his charming, accomplished
helpmate, who, unhappily for herself,
happened to be full of the joy of life
and eager for all that life can give
beautiful young woman. The crown
contended that, aware that his death

- HE brilliant lawyer who defended
the most attractive of the many
English-speaking wives who
have been brought to trial for
numbering their husbands con-
cluded his great speech for the defense
with the words:
"He is a bold man who undertakes
to attempt to explain the vagaries of
either woman or man in connection
with passion. Remember the Latin
poets questions:
"What is lighter than a feather?
Dust.
"'What is lighter than dust? Wind.
"'What is lighter than wind? Woman.
"'What is lighter than woman? Moth
ing"
The plea failed, and his client was
condemned to death.
To my mind the Latin poet who wrote
these bitter lines, no doubt in the
throes of love disappointment, knew
little about women. There always have
been, and always will be, light women.
But I think most students of human
nature will agree with Kipling's famous
line: "The female of the species is more
deadly than the male" And surely this
is especially true of the woman who for
any reason does her husband secretly
to death. For one husband who kills
his wife there are at least dozen wives
who kill their husbands.
Even with the average woman both
love and hate are far fiercer and more
intense than with the average man. 1t
seems hardly necessary to add that the
passion Of love, almost always so vola-
