 Vatican City - (U.P0 = The Popes day is planned out for him according to a schedule arranged in some cases almost a year ahead. His Holiness working day is no sinecure. All his regular weekly. bi- weekly and daily audiences with various cardinals and prelates take place according to time table that is only varied under pressure of circumstances.
 The cardinal at the head of the Holy Congregation of the Sacred Office has monthly audience with the Pope, while the assessor of the congregation sees the Holy Father once a week. The cardinal presiding over the Congregation of the Sacraments is seen by the Pope the first and third Mondays of every month. Similarly the heads of the other sacred congre- gations such as the Council, the Consistory and the Eastern church make their reports to the Pope twice or three times every month.
 Time of Audiences
 The time for audiences is either 10:30 a. m. or 6:3O D. m., accord ing as it is Summer or Winter.
 The cardinal secretary of state sees the Holy Father at any time if the necessity is an urgent one, but generally his daily visit takes place at 1:00 a. m. or after 1880 D. m.
 Audiences with cardinals. pre- lates and private individuals take place in the Pope's private library, a large room with three windows looking out on St Peters Square. Persons asked to such audiences are invited by the Pope to sit be- side his large writing table. Pri- vate audiences, which are only granted to persons of some inn portance, take place at l p. m., or from to g D. m.
 Group. Audiences
 Less significant and more fre- quently granted are the Pope's so-called special audiences, which usually are held in one of the three rooms leading to His Holi- ness private library. More than one person is often received in these special audiences.
 Then there are the general au- diences which again are divided into two kinds. Batches of from 25 to 50 pilgrims are received in general audiences which take place in either the Throne Room, the Room of the Tapestries, or the Corner Room. When these audiences are not too numerous, the Pope gives everyone his hand to kiss and blesses the assembled people. Sometimes, as often has happened this Holy Year, the pill grims anxious to see the Holy Father run into hundreds, in which case the Pope does not pass round the hall and give each person his hand to kiss, but be- slows general blessing from a throne

HISTORY

Saw mills, which were next in importance to grist mills, began here about the same time as the latter. The first one opened here, it is related. was on the Mad river at Sawmill plain; there was q leather. factory later at this site which was south of the Meriden turnpike, the territory later and still known as Mill Plain. It is said that c1apboards were used at the saw mill as early as 1882; but it is not certain if they were ''riven" there or were brought over the mountain from Pennington. Thirty acres of land occupied the site which grant was lost, but ap- pears in the records of 1722.
 Permission to set up the saw mill next to the corn mill in 1698- 99, but later this vote was can celled; but permission was given to Sergeant Bronson, Deacon Judd. John Hopkins, Samuel HickoX and John Richardson ito set up q saw mill at the corn mill, they making and maintain two rods of the dam from the corn mill east" It is not known if this was done, but stephen Upson and Benjamin Barnes "were appointed a commit tee to lay out the mill lot at the mill and what highways are need-

Q-1s the soil of Palestine fer tile enough to grow cereals and fruits?
 A-The fertility of the soil de- pends upon irrigation and cultiva- tion and for the most part it has been barren and uncultivated tor centuries. Cultivated, it yields cer- calls, lentils, sesamum, and maize, and such fruits as olives, figs, dates and oranges.
 Q-How much of the farm in- come of the United States comes from chicken farming? How many chickens are there on American farms?
 A-There were about 442,000,- 900 in 1929 valued at $403,0O0.- 900. The income from chickens and eggs amounted to about 10 per cent of all Iarm income for 1928, being estimated at $717,000,- 900 for eggs and $45S,000,00O for chickens, out of total income of $11,S27, 100000 from farm produc- tion. Poultry products were ex- ceeded in value in 1928 by only four other farm products-corn, milk, swine and cotton. over two and half billion dozen eggs and more than half billion chicks are produced annually.
 Q-How were conscientious ob- jectors punished in the U. s. dur ing the World War?
 A-There was no specific pun ishment. Government records show that of 3,989 objectors in camps, 1900 accepted or were as- signed to non-combatant service; 1,299 were furloughed for alterna- tive service; 450 were sent to pri- son by courts-martial, and the re- mainder were still in camp when the Armistice was signed.
 Q-What does "Moll Thompson's Brand" mean?
 A-That is an old British slang term for an empty bottle, the in- itials of Moll Thompson being "M. IT., sounded as empty.
 Q-What is the derivation of the of the word "Wop?"
 Alt is a shortened form of the word Wapparousa, Sicilian slang for "good-for-nothing per- son."
 Q-Was the inventor of the gull lotine executed on the instrument he invented?
 Apr. Joseph L. Guiliotin, reputed inventor of the guillotine, died natural death. Q-When was the first railway mail car introduced on American rairoads?
 Alt was introduced in 1864 on the Chicago and Northwestern railroad. but was not placed in

the federal trade commission. But control of margins-the most controversial issue of aIl- as turned over to the federal reserve board.
 The bill, as finally revised, is a definite concession to Wall street, but a step toward stock market control. Whether it will prevent the peaks and valleys of the money market, the Coolidge bull market, and the valley of the Hoover depression, remains to be seen.
 ANOTHER CALL
 Another redemption call for Fourth Liberty AZ per cent bonds is in the making.
 The treasury is quietly pfepar- ing to order in for payment on October IS another third of the $4,200, 100000 still outstanding. It can do so on any interest date, provided six months advance mo- tice is given. The next interest date is April 15
 This issue of Liberties is pay able in four and a half years. The purpose in calling large DOT tions ahead of time is to save on interest. The government can now refinance at ] per cent and even less. The difference is an appreciable item on a billion or more of bonds.

tions of the law invalid or not binding. We still believe that Governor Cross is cor rect in his statement that turning the liquor law back to the Legislature now would probably result in it merely being kicked around. Still something must be done if we are to anticipate any upsetting of the law in the slightest detail by the federal courts. And such prediction in view of what has happened the last few days is not far-fetched.

A Book a Day hy BRUCE CAPTION
This Book Studies Lees Human Side

An intimate and charming pie ture of one of the worlds greatest captains is provided in Robert E. Lec". by Robert w: Winston.
 This biography, while it gives ample space to recital of Lees exploits in the field, seeks chiefly to tell us what the man himself was like. It succeeds in admirable fashion.
 It shows us. for instance. the younger IIee-the daZzlingly hand some lad who was a Subaltern be- fore the Mexican war, young chap fond of fun and jokes, nam- ing his two horses Tom and Jerry, going to dances, writing charming letters to his wife, talking baby talk with his tiny children.
 Then we see the mature plan: the Lee who believed neither in seces- sion nor slavery and suffered agcn- ies of spirit in the crisis of '61. following his state out of the Union with the proviso that he would draw his sword only to protect Virginia from actual invasion.
 Finally we get the Lee, of the post war years, man of dignity and rare charm, who turned down d dozen chances 10 cdSH III OH HIS world wide fame and took $150O job as president of what then was broken-down college with fewer than 50 students: stately and gal lant gentleman who was fond ot childreiI--and children were fond Of him-who joked with the Vir- einia belles, cared tenderly for hit famous horse, Traveller, avoided al controversy, and made his declin- ing years both useful and pleasant Lee, the matchless soldier, is in ,his. too, of course, with an appre- ciative study of his campaigns; but for the most part.

We wonder how the Massachusetts leg islators will react to the recent resolution presented in the Senate. It called for an increase in the governors salary from $10000 to $20,000. Even that $1O,OOO item is just twice the amount that we pay here in Connecticut to our governor. There have been efforts made to increase the amount, but somehow or other the Legislature never could see any reason why the highest ranking official in our state government should be paid in con- mensurate to his position.

There aren't going to be any Georgia license plates Haunted on Connecticut owned motor vehicles if Commissioner Michael A. Connor can prevent it. Last week he ruled that the bargain-plates Of Georgia (they sell for $3 flat) are net !. legal here. All residents of Connecticut operating vehicles in this state must ob- tain Connecticut markers. That's only fair We can see the viewpoint of the motorist in seeking to secure plates that are far cheaper than they would be if bought in this state. Connecticut rates are too high. That's admitted. But we can't countenance the practice of people buying out of state markers and then ex- pecting to use them on a car that may never go outside our own limits, let alone come within 500 miles of Georgia. Other states are clamping down on the Georgia markers. The state has made money, but it will find the going bit harder now that the markers may be banned

Installation of new sodium vapor street lights in Meriden last week did not elicit as much excitement around the state as might have been imagined. True light ing company officials were vitally inter- ested in the experiment as it may revolu- tionize all outdoor illumination. The lights are not to be placed in operation for continuous service until this week. Then it is believed that representatives from every city and town in Connecticut may be present to examine the innova- tion. The installation is the first of it's kind in the United States. Incidentally engineers have been working on the sodium vapor lights of recent years to the extent that right now they are pre- dieting the elimination of all automobile headlights. This would be brought about by illuminated highways. The "cold" light is said to be much cheaper than that now given by incandescent lamps. We think it is good many years away. It would be tremendous outlay of money to equip every road in the country with them. And what would the poor motor ist do if he happened to be driving along brightly illuminated road and turned off onto one that was dark, especially if his car was not equipped with lights? True highway lighting may some day obviate the need of powerful lights, but it will not absolutely end them.

Husbands In Kitchens

A new quarterly fashion magazine for men has recently made it's bow to the pub- lie. The first issue is attractive in ap- pearance, with varied and interesting contents. It should be noted, however, that of dozen articles written by we'll known men, four of them have to do with food and cooking. There is a treatise on pie, another on the lost art of ordering a dinner, an article on how not to cook, and so on.
 It is no surprise to the public that male actors, authors and others have favorite dishes and delight in practicing the cul- mary art as pastime. It might be more of surprise to learn how many men not so well-known can wield mean mixer in the kitchen and produce many things besides cocktails and highballs From scrambling eggs to skipping up choco- late cake, their talents are varied and their successes notable.
 Now that these facts are coming out in public prints where all may read, men may find they are heading for trouble. Wives who have let husbands dabble in the kitchen and have smiled condescend- ingly at their achievements have not real ized that similar activities went on in other homes. Now they may decide that if cooking is such pleasure to so many men, the gentlemen ought to take over the Sunday dinner and perhaps few other meals during the week. They will have to be told firmly that cooking is creative art for these men, not vocation.
