Gardens

i do not think it strange that God
first set
His new creation-Man-in garden
ways
There is no other spot in all the earth
To which the mortal heart so cleaves
and clings
AS to garden, whether it may be
Broad acres or a nift among the
rocks,
No larger than the space for seven
seedsl
AS Jesus said of Men, SO Of His
flowers
Where two or three are gathered,
there is God.

AS WE SEE IT
Ba MoNTCo

THINGS ARE ALWAYS buzzing
.o,,nd Rockville. The latest is that
ofter the Lyddane smoke eventually
d;od down and other topics of import
auce wore out, there is nothing left
Init the locusts to buzz-and believe
me- they are really giving Mendels-
sobn Bach and Beethoven ride for
their money. Up where I live, in West
End near Bouic Circle, 823,634 locusts
are present for a three-weeks engage
ment in the wooded ampitheatre near
nv. The chorus gives you hum-m-m-
m.m-m-m all the day long. And they
work with contempt for union rules.
The 1897 double ouartettes chime in
with a wumm-m-m-m-m waa-wumm-
MN for added effect. Once in while
q tempermental soprano breaks loose
with a shrill rii-ii-ii and takes to the
treetops.
And these perfect holes they dig
after coming up from seventeen
year trip to China (nine years down
and eight years back.) We know they
have been to China because we take
notice of their lacquered wings, which
none other but an Oriental artist
could design.

CONFERENCE ON
PEACE IS ENDING
Buenos Aires Will Broad
cast Closing Speeches All
Over Entire World

Buenos Aires, Dec. 23.-(UP)-
The Inter-American peace confer
ence-one Of the most important
ever held In the western herni-
sphere-will end today. A solemn
ceremony in the national congress
will mark the occasion, in the
same room where President Roose-
welt, who inspired the peace gath
ering In letters to heads Of all
American republics a year ago,
formally began Its proceedings
three weeks ago. Those persons
working on settlement Of the Chaco
boundary dispute between Paraguay
and Bolivia, however, predict that
1t will be ended to the satisfaction
Of all early In the New Year, and
1887 will see the entire western
hemisphere contentedly at peace.
To Tell Whole World
Elaborate arrangements have
been made for broadcasting the
closing speeches all over the world
in Spanish, German, French, Por-
tuguese and English. In the United
States, 200 radio stations will trans
NIT the speeches over two national
networks. Outstanding achieve
ments of the conference, in the
conference, in the opinion of dele
gates, was the general treaty by
which the 81 American republics
agreed to Danish war from the
Americas and to consult each other
Immediately any threat OF war
comes from abroad. New trade
agreements were reached which will
tend to tear down business bar
riers, invite mutual trade and
thereby, conference delegates feel,
support the whole peace structure.

Comparative Figures, With 1882 as Depressions Low

Local District ApprOximates 100 Per Cent

The Waterbury district, with a
gain Of almost 100 per cent, lead
other districts In the state in the
increase in number Of tests for
operators licenses in the period
from 1882 through Nov. 40, 1886, ac-
co-5ing to q survey released today
by the state department of motor
vehicles. In the January November
period OF 1882, q total Of 1888 per-
sons took examinations for drivers
licenses In this district. In the same
period this year, the total was 1859.
Hartford Second
Throughout the entire state the
increase over 1892 averaged 1853 per
cent. The Hartford district, with a
gain of 95.2 per cent, stands next to
Waterbury In the ranking, with the
Danbury district next in order with
an increase Of 9l.9 per cent.
The new permanent license plates
some $4,000 of them, are now
stored in motor vehicle department
quarters ready for distribution early
next year. Registrations for the cur
rent year expires Feb. 28, 1887. The
new plates are Of aluminium, and the
year number at the bottom is de-
tachable. Beginning next year, the
auto owner will keep the same
plates indefinitely, merely receiving
q new set Of year numbers, such as
49," each year thereafter when he
renews his registration.

Number Examinations

When we turn to the individual
examination points, not grouping
them into districts, we find that In
the following places at least twice
as many examinations were given
during the first eleven months of
1886 as during the same period In
1892:
Bridgeport, Bristol, bury,
CRANKY, Manchester, New Britain,
Norwalk, Stafford Springs, Thomp-
sonville. Waterbury, Watertown.
In Bristol and CRANKY three
times as many examinations were
given as four years ago.
Only in Greenwich were there
fewer examinations than in 1882.
The reason for the slight drop may
be that more persons have realized
the advantage Of going to the
branch office In Stamford or South
Norwalk rather than taking the test
in Greenwich and sending to one
of the branch offices for the license
after the test Is finished.
