way his associates characterized
Bishop Mcdowell. His sermon on the
miracle Of the loaves and fishes, which
he termed "The Boy With the Sar-
dimes and Biscuits" was his most
famous and he was summoned repeat
edly to deliver it.
Religion with him was a natural
trend and development, for he chose
1t In early youth. AS young man
he started out to preach the gospel in
terms that the modern world could
understand. He was progressive in
religious thought and was represented
by friends as regarding the first
chapter Of Genesis, describing the
creation Of the world and Of men, as
poem, depicting God in the center of
creative processes

If the Methodist Church had
division between modernism and con-
servatism," once said DR.. Clarence
True Wilson, one of his close friends
and colleagues. Bishop Mcdowell
would Immediately be claSsed with the
modernists. But while he was very
progressive, he was so broad that
many of his most intimate friends
and loyal co-workers were conserva-
tives. Here again his eminent fair
ness made him equally acceptable to
both classes. When he came to pre-
side over conference every conserv-
ative minister knew that Mcdowell
held to fundamentals as firmly as he,
and every progressive knew that he
had never gotten out in advance Of
his biShop-and both liked him"

SHORTEST DAY OCCURRED
ON DECEMBER 22ND

There were only 9 hours and 26
minutes of sunlight on December %,
the shortest day this year. Rising
in Washington at 7:24 A. M. (EST),
the sun travelled across the southern
sky, setting at 1850 P. M, according
to the United States Naval Observa-
tory.
Before that day the sun apparently
creeped southwark until it was direct
ly overhead % 1-2 degrees north of
the equator, giving the Northern Hem
isphere it's longest day.
Changes in the length of the day
and shifts in the apparent position OF
the sun are caused by the tilt of the
earth's axis. On the shortest day the
Pole leans sunward, while six months
later, on the longest day when the
earth has travelled halfway around its
orbit, the North Pole leans sunward

TRUCK OVERTURNED WITH
FRESH SHRIMP ABOARD

Many of the residents of Charles
town, located along the North East
river, nine miles west of Elkton, have
a bountiful supply of fresh shrimp.
While a large truck from Florida,
loaded with the fish was on Route 40,
enroute to the northern markets, the
driver failed to make the proper turn
about opposite to Charlestown, and
undertook to go up the crooked road
leading to the overhead bridge, span
ming the tracks Of the Pennsylvania
railroad tracks. However, before the
big machine reached the bridge proper
it crashed the safety railing and went
down the embankment, rolling into
the railroad tracks. The fish in the
truck were scattered all over the
ground. When the residents of Char
lestown, not far distant, learned of
the accident, many of them hurried
to the scene and gathered up enough
shrimp to satisfy their craving for
several days. The, truck was quite
badly damaged and the driver Ken
meth Still, was painfully injured

Sale of the note to the Water bury Savings Bank for $l7,575 rep lesents 75 per cent of the invest ment, and Judge Wynne agreed with Attorney Walsh that it was a favorable move toward the liquida- ton of the Merchants Trust assets.

MA Undertakes Survey Of Age, Sex
 Of Drivers Involved In Accidents
Vehicle Census Described as Program of Pub-
 lie Service

Are young drivers or old ones responsible for more automobile ac- cidents, and what is the age of the cars involved?" are two questions to be answered by the National Youth Administration for the state depart ment of motor vehicles according to an announcement made today by Thomas J. Dodd, state director of the IVA.
 Vehicle Census
 Mir. Dodd, at the request of Com missioner Michael Connor, has agreed to carry out a complete count for the years 1892. 1884, and 1886 of licensed drivers grouped &C., cording to age and sex. A count also will be made of vehicles in- volved in accidents according to the year of their fanufacture. Commis- sioner Connor, in making the re- quest, pointed out that this study will be of inestimable value not only to the Connecticut department but to every motor vehicle adminiStra- tor in the country, and especially to those engaged in detailed analysis of traffic accident causation factors. The vehicle census" will determine the number of cars and trucks of various years of manufacture regis tered during the years under survey, and will then note the age of cars involved in traffic accidents. This study will tend to prove or disprove many theories now current concern ing the type of cars involved in &C., cidents and the mechanical reasons why those vehicles are in trouble.
 Survey Started
 The National Youth AdminiStra- tion has already started work on this survey. Although it is too early now to determine when the survey will be completed, it is hoped that much progress may be made dur ing the summer. The final reports which should be of interest to in dividual drivers and especially to operators of large fleets, as well as to the state authorities, will be available for general distribution when they are finished.

Three Charges Filed Against Local Driver
TOrringtOn Wants Acc CuSed for Theft of Car;
 Reckless Driving

An auto accident on East Main street early last night, followed by a police search for a driver who fled after the crash, resulted in the arrest of Thomas E. O'Brien, 50, of 122 Pearl street, who was sought by Torrington police for theft of an automobile.
 A car driven by O'Brien hit a machine owned by Domenic Demaida, of 1O4 Rose street. Patrolman Timothy Hurley notified the accident squad and began queS- tioning OBrien. When Sergeant Joseph McEvoy of the accident squad arrived at the scene, on East Main street near William street, he asked O'Brien for his drivers license, then for his registration. OBrien said it was in his car and went ostensibly to get 1t.
 Instead of getting the registra- tion, however, he ran away. The two policemen searched all over the neighborhood for him without suc- cess. A few minutes later, however, they spied him on East Main street, near Hamilton Park, and placed him under arrest.
 After O'Brien had been booked at headquarters for reckless driving, It was learned that the car he was op- erating had been reported stolen by Mary Porro, of IA Wadhanns avenue, Torrington. OBrien was returned to Torrington last night to face the car theft charge, and meanwhile the reckless driving charge against him in this city will be held open.

project, stated that it conforms very well to the policies of the Youth Administration both because it per- forms a public service of obvious value and because it provides work for young people which will give them experience in clerical pro- cedures under competent and exact ing supervision. The project also complies with that rule of the IVA which prohibits work which might be paid for by local funds, since, according to Commission Connor, the count must be carried out manually on account of the nature of the material, and the department has no funds to hire the necessary number of extra clerks.
