nUT who was the Folsom man? Was he
q contemporary in the Old World, of the
Neanderthal man, who lived from $4,000 to 1OO,-
900 years ago; or of the first immigrants to
North America by way of the Bering 'isthmus'
during the decline of the fourth and last ice age,
or of the possible later immigrants by way of
Greenland, from 10000 to $4,000 years ago?
These are questions archeologists are today
puzzling over. All are agreed, however, that
low type of man never reached America, as the
so-called Folsom must necessarily be
classed as a homo Sdpiens, or true man.
Whoever or whatever the Folsom man was he
was by nature a hunter. This seems adequately
proved by the facts that (a) Folsom points have
been found imbedded in the bones of animals
near the remains of campfires; (b) Folsom
points have been found in widely scattered sec
tions east of the Rockies, conclusivey showing
that their makers were of the rowing or hunter
type.
Another opinion generally accepted by scien-
tific men is that the Folsom man dwelt in North
America prior to the earliest known races in
southern Mexico and northern South America.
Curiously enough, Folsom points have never
been discovered west of the Rocky Mountains.
No trace of them has been found in the famous
La Brea pits in Los Angeles from which the

thinned down leaves of Amola steel. The engine is placed well forward, Front and rear seats are also ad- vanced. Rear seat passengers ride ahead of the rear axle and the weight carried on the springs is evenly shared by front and rear. This even division of the load has made 1t possible to give front and rear springs the same resiliency this means that the springs defect and recover at the same rate, with out subjecting the car body and the occupants to pitching" when going over rough roads. The cushioning effect of the springs is further sup- plemented by four teleseoping hy- draulic shock absorbers of @ type used in reducing the landing shock met by airplanes. As the action of shock absorbers is in both direc- tions, as well as parallel to the chassis oscillations. the snubbing effect is direct and positive.
 One feature retained from prev ious Dodge designs Is the sway eliminator now operating without being linked to the shock absorbers. The present sway eliminator Is Q U- bar of heat-treated steel, rubber cushioned on the forward portion of the frame. The function of the device Is to minimize body tilt in turning curves ct considerable speeds.

Waterbury Auto Spring Company Now Able to
 Repair Knee Action

Menaces to safe driving are elim- mated when Bear System equipment recently installed by the Waterbury Auto Spring O., located at 38 Brown place, scientifically adjusts the automobile afflicted with shimmy, wander, weave anud hard steering. The equipment checks your car with the manufacturers specifications for all alignment angles.
 The Waterbury Auto Sprng com- pany now has Q replete line of mod ern accessories, such as alloy steel springs for all types of cars and trucks, besides Q department for re- building wrecked automobiles and all types of welding jobs.
 By the Bear System equipment 1t is possible to repair knee action and straighten swayed, bent and buckled frames and axles. As even new cars soon lose their alignment balance, 1t Is necessary to have period checking and adjustment of equipment to maintain easy, safe steering and satisfactory tire wear.

 Safety Made Keynote
 Safety and convenience seem to have been guiding motives in the design of the instrument panels of the new Dodge models. The heat indicator, ammeter dial, fuel and oil guages, are grouped In a circular layout and placed beside the speed- ometer so that the driver, in read- ing the instruments, does not have to turn his eyes out of the direc- ton in which the car travels Switches, control knobs, glove com. partment and ashtray handles, even the ignition lock, are sunk into the instrument panel so that none of them can act as Instructions.
 Notable success is sald to attend the efforts of Dodge engineers tt make their car interiors sound. proof. The steel roof, the rear quai. ters and the cowl are insulated witt special heavy padding. Body sidel and door panels are covered with { plastic material comented to thu metal surfaces. A coating of gum like substances Is sprayed on th' under side of rear deck lids in ad' dition to the felt padding placed be- tween the metal panels that form the lids.
 An important detail in the silenc, ing of Dodge cars is the unique method by which the bodies ar( mounted on the chassis. The system involves the use of chassis outrig. gers equipped with rubber spooll by which chassis and body are kept from making actual metal-to- meta contact. This method is said tt prevent road noises and operating sounds from reaching the occupants of the car.

SCOviIl Street Site Offers Parking Convenience
 for Shoppers

Pounded in 1880, the Union Plate and Window Glass O., has made nteady progress in the past IT years and now ranks as one of the leaders nn its field in the state.
 The firm has established new quarters at 40-44 Scovill street, where 1t occupies the large build- ing formerly used as the Scovill kCreet fire house. The new location affords ample parking space, and, located just Q few moments from Exchange Place, is extremely con- venient for shoppers.
 Frank Tavano, manager, per- Bonally supervises all store front construction work done by the com pany. Aided by a staff of trained assistants, he has been credited with some of the most attractive store fronts in Connecticut. The Union company will not only exe- cute customers designs, but will also prepare designs on request and submit them for approval.
 At It's Scovill street location, the firm also operates the Surety Paint and Wallpaper Co.,, which sells at retail all late types of wallpapers, as well as paint and other home necessities. It is local representa- tive for a new lightweight, easy- handling type of Venetian blinds.
 The Union Plate and Window Glass O., in addition to It's store work deals in glass of all types. The growth of the company, which started originally in small quarters on Union street, can be credited to its fine service, It's moderate prices and the conscientious effort that is put into each piece of work.

SAN DIEGO TRAPS
 DRUNKEN DRIVERS
California Squad halts All Automobiles at Key
 Points in State

San Diego, Cal. - (UP) - The drunk trap" or blockade, which takes intoxicated motorists off the streets and to jail before there Is an accident, is the answer 10 the rapid increase in traffic deaths, believes Chief of Police George Sears, of San Diego, who originated the idea.
 How well the plan operates, Sears said, is shown by the rec ords, which reveal San Diego Is one of the few cities of the nation with more than 100000 popula- ton, to show decrease in traffic deaths during 1886.
 For the first six months of 1887 San Diego had maintained its record, Sears declared, pointing to insurance company statistics which show that of 50 cities in the 100000 to 250,00 population class, San Diego had the least la talities.
 Only 25 persons were killed on San Diego streets during the first six months of this year.
 Under Sears plan squads of ot- ficers, each night, are sent Into various parts of the city. There are eight men to g squad, all equipped with motorcycles.
 officers are stationed at each entrance to the intersection and every approaching car, truck and motorcycle is halted. The opera tor carefully studied by the po- licemen.
 All suspected of being In the least intoxicated are ordered to the side of the highway and more exhaustive tests made. If the driver is found to be in- toxicated he is taken to jail and booked.
 In the first six months of the year the drunk traps" sent 33E motorists to jail, but she number is decreasing monthly, from 6 high of 30 in March to 48 in June
 Sears asserted these figures prove the efficiency of the trap that motorists hesitate to take "even one little drink before theS venture out on the streets, fol they never know when, or where they'll run into drunk trap"

The sermon theme suggested by the

worried workers in the factories, mines
and other business enterprises, we
wonder if He sees and pities, if His
heart is moved with compassion. Would
He urge Christian leaders to do some
thing to relieve their unhappy condi-
ton? The great New testament pray

day our daily bread" Why is it not an
swered more graciously by the
mighty God who has unlimited re-
sources? Why must men and women
be Inundated in receiving relief when
they want to earn their living? Unless
these questions are more thoughtfully
considered by protesting Christians,
there is more trouble ahead for both
labor and industry. The pastor will
speak on this theme.

FINE WORK

Commenting editorially on the work
and achievements of the State and the
county health units of Maryland, the
Baltimore Sun of Tuesday said:
For two decades the State has been
working to build up and put on an eff
fcient basis full-time health unit in
every county in Maryland. The work
has been carried on patiently but per-
sistently, with the result that the goal
has been reached in establishment of
the units throughout the State.
The task that remains is to improve
the technique of the units, to provide
adequate support and to familiarize
the public with the aid they give in
combating disease so that more use
may be made of their facilities. On this
point DR.. R. H. Riley, director of the
State Board of Health, issues data that
should be materially helpful in direct
ing attention to the programs that have
reduced the ravages of disease in the
years since county health units began
functioning. This is especially true of
such diseases as typhoid fever, with a
decline of 93.7 per cent since 1914; tu-
berculosis, a decline of 5S.8 per cent;
diphtheria, a decline Of 1914 per cent,
and infant mortality, decline of 43.1
per cent.
With so much to their credit, these
units should not lack emphatic public
approval. They have amply fulfilled
the promises which were made for
them.
