 Unit Of Crusaders
Directors Organizing COnnectcut- Public Opinion to
 Combat Anti-PersOnal Rights Measures

Plans for the organization of a Waterbury unit of the Crusaders of New England, a branch of the national organization, the Cru saders, Inc, recently launched in.

 Meetings Planned
 Organization meetings have been held in New Haven, Bridge port, Springfield, Providence, Lawrence, and Lynn, and are scheduled for every important city in New England at early dates, according to state officials.

STATE GASOLINE TAXES INCREASE
Reports of AAA Show Gain Made in l034Regis-
 tratiOn Fees Larger

A slight increase in gasoline tax es and registration fees paid by Connecticut drivers during 1884 is noted in compilation of pre- llminary statistics at national head- quarters of the American Auto mobile Associ D }1n, with which the Waterbury branch of the Connec- ticut Motor Club is affiliated. The 1884 total was $12,Sg5,6 as compared with the 1888 total of $12,662,219, representaing an in- crease of $235,3S4.
 For the country as a. whole, gasoline tax and registration fee collections amounted to. $846,226,- g722 against $S2O,127,751 in 1893, an increase of 3.1 per cent.
 An outstanding feature of the state motor vehicle tax statistics was the increase of nearly. per cent in gasoline taxes which rose from $518,195,7I2 in 1858 to $54s- .58S,420 in the year just closed, representing the highest gas tax in history.
 Tn contrast to this was the slight reduction, amounting to 1.4 per cent in registration fee collection. This reduction took place despite increased car own ership reflecting the movement In several states toward reduced li- cense fees.
 The total of nearly $S5O,0eo,000 of state gasoline and, registration taxes accounted for roughly 40 per cent of state tax collections from all sources and was greater than any other single source of state revenue.

To accomplish their aims they propose to use the press, ra- dio, phamphlets and booklets, public addresses and private con- versations.'' According to MT. Lange, the ex- ecutive secretary, the Crusaders ."are committed to an effort to create nationwide volume of enlightened public opinion, in the belief that public opinion alone provides an adequate defense against the infringement of per- sonal rights and privileges which would inevitably follow the adop- ton of many of the plans advanced in the guise of emergency meas ures to restore prosperity"

Tall Tower Topics
vAGABoND1NG THROUGH BEAUTY
'Bx THE MAN IN THE TOWER
Good Evening.

I wandered today through meadows, golden With beauty knee-deep. deviated to chase butterfly And paused to drink Deep and cool from friendly spring. The shades embraced me And as listened heard Natures symphonies Sweet and soft to the ear Discourse upon the secrets of life. ... Tiny creatures beneath Huge, tremendous avenues of blue on high And then, when I had lost sight of busy, material world I felt the smooth, refreshing drops of a rain. And I wondered How the day would climax. When from out the blue beyond Amid the splendors of Tightening and thunder A gorgeous rainbow, Wrought on the anvils of the clouds, Presented it's virgin, maideny form So comedy, so graceful That all Nature stood in utter awe, While intoxicated with its beauty Painted in its arms. God We witness beauty and wear It As maiden her ruby ring! o, with what may compare it? Everything That wears beauty only to shed it For humans to regard! God stoops to don the violet With robes of purple dignity And I may choose to pluck it, Destroy its beauty with the roots What power is mine! may tread knee-deep in Gods fields of beauty Upon which do feast His lessed creatures. But if from all this My reactions are amiss And forget to appreciate The beauty that the Gods create. Then am traitor an ingrate indeed, Crushing gratitude in it's very seed

expression "The hand is quicker
than the eye" has arisen, for this
fact has been observed by every
one. Normally, however, one
should be able to distinguish colors
that vary markedly from one an
other. If this cannot be done, then
a defect of the eye, known as color
amblyopia or or-blindness, ex-
lists. The exact cause of this con-
dition is not known.
When this condition is present
from birth, early recognition of it
is necessary so that a color sense
can be developed by special train
ing. In these cases, usually there
is a loss of perception of one or two
of the fundamental colors such as
red, green, and blue. When color
blindness occurs later in life, it is
due to disease of the optic nerve,
and usually all color-sense is lost,
as we'll as a loss of vision.
The present-day use of colored
lanterns, lights, flags, etc., in traf-
fic and on railroads makes it nee
essary for everyone to be able to
distinguish red and green. Any
one who cannot make such a dis
tinction is a danger to himself and
to others. In most states, color
blind motorists are barred from
driving.
Although there is no cure for
this condition, Doctor Chapman has
devised a red-free filter which may
fit over a pair of glasses so that
red appears to be black on a traf-
fic signal. Thus if the signal be-
comes dead-black, it means the
warning color, red. The intelligent
use of this filter will make it safe
for anyone so handicapped to drive.

sPOOKY TAVERN

When Joyce Wingate (Mrs. Jer-

sister miss Alberta Brown and
her old auntie (Mrs. Bette Jones)
out to gloomy Old Mill Tavern on
a stormy evening with a view to
buying it and turning it into a Tea

hard-faced master of the tavern
Jerry Hargrave) and his crafty
spiritualistic sister miss Char

scare the young people away, from
scattering bloody hatchets about
and binding and gagging their VIC
tins. A ghost woman miss Bea-
trice Vassar), presumably the
spirit of murdress, prowls about,
uttering blood-curdling screams.
The tavern also proves to be the
rendezvous of two leaders of mar
cotic-stealing gang (Reginald Har-
ris and John Patton) and a dope
peddling college student, with a de-
tective from the Federal Narcotic
Service on their trail. The climax

counter markets to brokers, deal.
ers, associations and securities

tative and do not represent in
any respect" the final action Of
the commission. Preliminary

use the mails is proposed.
Qualifications for registration
and a broad standard of business
conduct are other suggestions. A
registration statement for over
the.country brokers and dealers is
also included.
June 1 Limit
The suggestions propose that on
and after June /, 1885, no broker
or dealer shall use the mails or
interstate commerce for the pur.
pose of making or creating, or en-.
abling another to make or create,
a market over-the-counter, for any
security or use any facility of such
market, unless registered.

broken or dealer who does an in
traState business only in unreg'
istered securities or who deals only

statement, has been convicted of
crime or enjoined from a prac.
tice connected with a securities
transaction, or who has wilfully

act as agent of both the buyer and
seller in an over-the-counter trans
action unless he obtained the writ

the fiduciary obligation of brokers
to their clients in the handling Of

mission with information as to the
eligibility of brokers and dealers
for registration and data concern

WHEAT ERASES
EARLY GAINS

CHICAGO, March 16 Q.N.S).
Wheat prices extended their re-
covery in early dealings here but
most of the gains we're wiped out
when corn and oats developed an
easy tone.
With the deferred deliveries
setting the pace, wheat moved up

Liverpool and reports of severe
dust storms in the West but the
market fell back when pressure
developed aided by the decline in
cotton.
May wheat was bid up to 933s

major fraction to 1872 for the
