Auto Law Revisions

While strictly speaking it isn't Christ mas present, since the actual changes in the motor vehicle regulations were made last spring by the Legislature, neverthe- less Commissioner Michael A. Connor'S announcement calling attention to them this week, is real good news for all drivers and car owners. Your present registra- tionS (that includes your automobile 1narkers) will not expire until February 29, 1886. That's just two months later than they would ordinarily. This will be the permanent date of issuance of new plates in the future
 Drivers licenses will not be issued for 1886 until April 30, which is also two months later than the previous date of issuance. This also is permanent inSti- tuition. The third piece of good news is the fact that substantial reductions have been made in the cost of registrations, which on top of more work for most mo- torists Is very, very, encouraging Last, but not least, we might mention the fact that Commissioner Connor and his aides have so perfected their method of dis tributing licenses and plates that no long line of applicants need result any more.

lent judge. At least the depositors of the City Bank & Trust Com pany thought so when he saved them heavy receivership fees. He would hardly have been described as an unknown lawyer. He had been corporation counsel of his city, a member and very able minority ot the State Senate and had served a term in Congress. The state was fairly well acquainted with MT O'Sullivan when he was made judge and there was no chorus of disapproval over the appointment even thoug hhe was his party's chairman.
 We do not quite see how this all leads to the conclusion that the Legislature does recognize some limitations on political rawness, ' particularly if the inference is that we had not supposed that there was any such limitation on legisla- tive procedure. We assumed ev- eryone agreed its judgeship deal of 1883 was beyond all limits, that of 1885, about as bad. what with a Democratic boss stnading on one side of the Lieutenant- Governor and Republican boss on the other to see to it that neither side dou- ble-crossed the other.

Girl Was Nice, But a Little. Homicidal
BY BRUCE CATION

 Probably it is too bad that human depravity should be SC much more interesting than sim pie. unadorned goodness; but that's the way life seems to be, and as 8 result it is my duty to inform you that "The Fair Devil" by Edwin Greenwood, is right entertaining book.
 MT. Greenwood tells about one of these young ladies who are fair without, but full of the black ness of darkness within. Speci- fically, his heroine is a young English girl who lives in suburb apparently lea0s the most blame less of lives as London stenog- rapher, and becomes the finance of an. innocent Church of Eng land clergyman.
 The girl is pretty, charming, and altogether lovely. Her only trouble is that she just hasn't a moral to her pack.
 To get pin money she consortS AupIOPcIIy WAtu WedlUIly HOple~ man in London love-nest. When he gets troublesome, she uncere- moniously kills him.
 To bind the clergyman closer to her, she throws suspicion his way, so, that she may win his complete gratitude and trust Dy sticking by him. When 8 maiden aunt becomes too troublesome, she calmly poisons her; and the clergyman-who by this time has married the girl-escapes just in time by getting wise to her as she is meditating a dose of arsenic for his tea.
 There's no especial moral to this tale; indeed, MT. Greenwood has told it with a flip, airy cheer fulness which is very charming. His only purpose seems to be. to entertain, and he succeeds in it admirably.

One of the best pieces of news that we have read in quite few weeks is the announcement that the State Traffic Commission is actively engaged right now in placing route markers in our principal cities. AS yet we don't believe the com mission has come to Waterbury, but pre- sume it probably will within the coming month. In New Haven, which is the first city where the commission started opera tions, will be completely posted with high way markers. It is expected that thor ough coverage of all principal intersec- tions will speed up traffic passing through congested areas. It certainly ought to do that in Waterbury where many turns are often responsible for out of-town motorists losing their way. We have some signs serving a good purpose, but not enough.

The Times appreciates the com pliment of having its views on the appointment of minor judges dis cussed to the extent of nearly g column by the able, if caustic, edi- tor of the Manchester Herald. We shall beg his leave to discuss briefly a few of the points he raises. It is true that The Times "is in- pressed by the space which sepa- rates Governor Cross from the ordi- nary" though not necessarily "sordid" politician. Many of the governors acts have been in quite refreshing contrast to the manner in which the routine politician per- forms in public office. The state apparently shares this view for though it took Governor Cross or faith in 1930, 1t has twice since re- elected him and seems to be in a mood to do it again if the oppor- tunity offers.
 The immediate cause of the Her. aids discussion is found in the ap- proval expressed of the governors selection of non-political nominee for the judgeship of the New Lon- don police court. The Herald seems bit cynical about it all It really ought, however, to keep its perspec- tive straight. No one claims it as a special recommendation" that the governors New London appoin- tee is a member of an old New London family. To state the fact that he is, simply assists in identify ing the new judge. The Times has not suggested that the blueness ot his stockings has anything to dc with his fitness.
 If it is rather significant that the governor did not slap politicians in the face before the 1884 election instead of now, it might be pointed out that there is still the 1886 con- vention coming in case the politi- clans care to remember the incl dent. In fact the governor has given the politicians so much to remember him by that it hardly seems right to accuse him of pull ing his punches out of concern for his political future.
 No one points to the governor in this incident as putting up brave and righteous fight for the purity of the bench" There are no her. oics about. The Governor simply is handling the matter as he believes it should be handled.
 And as for the almost unknown lawyer" who was his "very first nominee for the Superior Court bench, lawyers seem to agree that MT. OSullivan has made an excel

Who said that postage stamps, even used ones, haven't got any value After this people had better consider philately not merely hobby, but real business. Out in Seattle a man traded an 1868 Canadian stamp for house and lot. The stamp was valued at $500 and the trade was direct one, nothing to boot being offered on either side. They'll be trading in stamps on the stock market sooner or later.

Selected Poem
NEW ENGLAND FOG. Ino.t,.,ao CoIiochooN

The fog rolls in across the fields of heather That yesterday lay underneath the sun, And things familiar in this shrouded weather Take on an eerness and one by one
 Accept new identity. The ships
 Offshore are lost to sight, A ghostly curtain Enfolds them in a world unreal, uncertain, Of clammy hands and chill and sculptured lips. The foghorn lifts a gray voice hoarse with ire To boom out dangers secret mysteries. A proud-backed woman lights her evening fire And tries to keep her thoughts from fogbound seas With all her hearing straining toward the shore.

In the midst of rising prices, fish

In the midst of rising prices, fish prices have remained low.
 The drought of 1884 has caused shortage of 2h billion pounds of meat. Naturally, meat prices are rising. The Department of Az riculture reports that the index number relative to the price of meat has jumped in one year (February 18th, 1884, to February 18th, 1935) from 106.7 to 14O.1.
 There is light, however, in this darkness, for fish is rapidly taking it's place on the menus and in the dining rooms of America. This Is logical, because dietitians and doc tors, health centers and house. wives realize the high dietetic value of fish in the daily diet. The fish industries and dealers are making fish available to everyone ito those living on the coast or inIand--despite the season or the day in the week. Cooks know thousands of ways of making de- lectable fish dishes. It is but nat nral that the public is ready to cat an inexpensive, continuously available health promoting food.
 The low prices of fish among the soaring prices of other commod- ities is one spot of happiness!
 New facts about the dicetic val ues of fish and sea food are con- tinually coming to light. For ex- ample, two doctors Of the United States Public Health Service, DTS Ay ,I NY VTaGG, have just issued q report which will help American housewives to solve their dietic problems. They find that fish eXcels other flesh foods in its content of sulphur bearing substance, oystine, which is absolutely necessary for life. It is one of the five indispensable building stones of proteins which make up the larger part of the human body and which the human body cannot manufacture for it. self. It is, therefore, necessary for the maintenance of health and well being.
 Doctors Hess and Sullivan con- clude that at least three kinds of fish. haddock, halibut and salmon, coHldiH uppi ioNiiHA'Sy 'V pei SS"' more cystine than either round or sirloin steak.
 This new finding of the U. s. Public Health Service bears an important relation to this econom- ic problem of to-day in showing that fish not only equals but excels meats in the possession of this vital element. It will be welcome news to housewives throughout the nation.
 Fish, in addition to being one of the most economical protein foods, Is rich in vitamines A and D, copper, iron, manganese, phos- porous, and has more lime (the bone and teeth manufacturer), than any other flesh food. Because

of these elements, the frequent in- clusion of fish in the diet tends to ward off anemia, rickets, goitre, kidney stones, and other diseases.
 There are one hundred and sixty-two available varieties of fish and hundreds of ways to cook them. Monotony, the thief of gus- tatorial pleasure, is banished.
 The use of fish at every meal or on any day Is welcome to the care full or lavish planner of meals.
 Another thing that makes fish poprlar is that the lean fish can be eaten by those desiring to get thin without becoming i'll from the lack of proper nutrition. Those who wish to grow stouter and to ward off disease as well, can eat fish containing fats! The oils and fats are in the flesh as well as in the livers of fish.
 Fish in cans, in glass, in pack ages, fresh fish or swiftly frozen or frosted fish, dispatched by rapid transport systems by land and by sea, reach all points of America every day in the week in the pink of perfcction."
 For well or i'll, for rich or poor, for those living on coast or in- land, fish is the solution of the diet problem so complicated to-day by the increasing costs of meat.

Crowds Seeking Jobs Fig ure on WatertOwn Plant
 Moving to Mill Street

For the first time this week, no job seekers were on hand at the gates of the old Clock factory on Mill street today. Yesterday and Monday there were large crowds on hand, brought by reports that the Watertown Undergarment Co.,. which is moving from Watertown to the Mill street place, was ready to start operations and was hiring help.
 More than 100 were on hand early Monday morning, while yes- terday close to 50 more were at the gates of the factory seeking to have their applications for jobs taken.
 The undergarment factory Is still operating in Watertown, but plans for the transfer of the business to this city are almost completed. When the move Is effected, 1t is expected that at least 200 addi- tional employees from this city will be given steady employment. Tho workers now engaged at Watertown will be kept, more will be brought from New York, but the company's expansion plans call for the hiring of . number of new workers.
