Austrian Inventors

Perhaps no country has given as
much postal attention to her men
of note as Austria. Austrian musi-
clans, Austrian Poets, Austrian ar
lists, architects and military heroes
all have appeared on the annual
charity stamps during the past few
years. Now on the recent issue of
December 3 we are introduced to
noted Austrian inventors and engi-
neers. The stamps are beautifully
designed and printed, and the work
of each inventor is suggested by
a design in the background.
The II gr. brown shows the pic
ture of Josef Ressel G793-185D
inventor of the screw propeller
which has now replaced the old
fashioned paddle wheels in steam
ship building.
4 On the "a gr. stamp we have a
picture of Karl Ritter Won Ghega
1902 1860. In 1841 he built the
state railroad between Vienna and
Trieste, and in l848 he began to
make plans for a railroad across
the Senimering Pass in the Alps.
The line was finally finished in
1854-the first mountain railroad in
the world.
The inventor honored by the 80
gr. red stamp in this series is Josef
Wern1l Q831-1889) one fthe first
gunsmiths to design a practical
breech-loading rifle. In 1882 Wern-
oil with Mannlicher made the IA
nous Mannlicher rifle, which was
used by the Austrian army during
the World War and which has pro-
ven favorite with big game hun

Roasting Salt.

Evaporation by the sun is one of the
easiest and cheapest methods of pro-
ducing salt In this way refined salt
of exceptional chemical purity is
made from the brine of Great Salt
Lake in Utah. But this salt has a
distinct musty odor when dissolved in
boiling water which makes it impos-
sible for use by the butter makers in
the surrounding country. However,
there is process which makes the
salt edible by roasting it. When 225
degrees c. of heat is applied the
musty odor disappears.

Pertinent Thoughts

An active campaign is under way m New York state to reduce automobile reg iStration fees to $3 year. A move is also afoot against the continuance of the four cents gasoline tax, opponents desiring elimination of one cent of this tax in the coming year. Some of New York's trou- ble may arise from the fact that diversion of funds raised through the above sources is not unheard of there And unless strenuous efforts are put forth in other states, including Connecticut, diversion of funds, raised by motor and gasoline taxation, will be common instead of rare.
 Frank J. Smith, president of the New York State Automobile Association, com menting on the flat $3 registration, said, In justice to every passenger car owner in this state, the registration should be reduced to nominal figure to cover only the expense of registering the car and maintaining the Motor Vehicle Bureau. From now on the registration fee should no longer be considered means of rev. enue. . . AS the organized motorists see the picture the time has now come for a sweeping revision of automobile taxa tion policies. Politicians taking ad- vantage of an emergency long since past have maladjusted the tax structure, mak- ing the automobile owner the victim so as to hide their inability to curb govern mental extravaganza. ."
 There is good meat in what MT. Smith has to say. Of course, it is obvious that if such flat rate as $3 were charged in Connecticut it would mean an immediate rise in gas taxes to counteract the loss of revenue. But some one of these fine days there is going to be an uprising of various taxpayers and we're going to find our selves battling against such government tai services as force high taxes to be paid.

Light Consumer-D Director

Stockholders of the Westchester Light ing Company of Westchester County, N. r., have just elected woman to the board of directors, acting on the recom- nlendation of officials of the company. "Westchester County is largely residen- tial community" said the president, "and the business of our company is, therefore, largely with the home For some time we have been looking for an outstanding woman as member of our board of direc- tors, one who would interpret for us the woman's viewpoint as it affects our busi- ness"
 The woman elected has been active in club and civic affairs and has participated in consumers movements for lower rates. She is interested also in problems of women who work for the lighting com- pany." It remains to be seen whether the new director will change old or estab- fish new policies in her company and how successfully she will carry the consumers viewpoint into directors meetings. Per haps her election is the beginning of new era of mutual good will and cooper ation between two groups hitherto regarded as antagonistic

restive groups around town were full of the idea. All sorts of occupations are in- volved. There are auto parts plants, cigar factories, restaurants, ten-cent stores, and so on. New strikes may start any where at any moment. Somebody just passes the word around or blows a whis- tie, and every employe within range sits down and sits tight.
 From Detroit the movement seems to be radiating like ringworm. It may go through the whole country before it dies out = if, indeed, it ever does die out. Many people employers, economists, politicians, and so on-would like to know that All they know so far is that dis contented employees have new technique - a new weapon-and are pleased with it.,

Incidentally construction of this second pipe line should be quite an adventure in cross-country sighting. We note that the actual length of the entire pipe line will only be 5l,000 feet. If we remember our grammar school lessons, there were 5,280 feet in mile. We presume there still are. That would make the entire length of the line less than ten miles. One mile of this will be along the trolley right of way in Watertown and running down towards Oakville as far as Adts Switch. From there the line once again is overland coming into Waterbury west of Bunker Hill. Quite an engineering feat any way you look at 1t.

There seems to be much wonderment over the fact that the State Highway Department spends $3,000 annually on publicity. That isn't news or at least it shouldn't be. Anybody who has seen the releases of this department must know that they were being handled profession ally and not haphazardly. As matter of fact what state department hasn't got publicity director? You answer it, be- cause we know the answer now And as second matter of fact the money spent for good publicity man by state department to our way of thinking, is money well spent. Certainly it keeps the state well informed and in the long run eliminates endless correspondence.

March is giving us greater variety of winter weather than any of the previous months. Here it is only the 11th and we've had warm days, cool nights, warm nights, cool days, rain and snow. What more could you ask? And instead of con- tinuing to act like lamb the month is really staying chilly. Spring is only ten days off and the pussy-willows are rapidly vanishing so early did they bloom. Traces of an early spring are everywhere; hope the continued cold snaps won't blight too many buds.

The wisdom of pushing through bond issue SO that the City of Waterbury can lay part of the second pipe line from the Morris reservoirs down to our limits is quickly appreciated. That part of the line, which would be laid immediately, passed through central Watertown In fact it is planned to run it right down its main street. Inasmuch as this would mean considerable excavating and de- struction of pavement, it is deemed advis- able to lay it now before the street is made over after removal of trolley tracks. The city has followed this practice in several instances. When Thomaston ave- nue was to be repaved by the state, the highway department held up it's work in Waterville until the city had completed laying sewers and drains. This prevented any destruction of new pavement as so often has happened in the past when utilities have ripped up newly-laid paving to fix or extend their own mains.

Massachusetts Battles It.

Some weeks back Senator George T. Culhane of this city propounded queS- ton before the Legislature Why shouldn't transportation be provided for parochial and private school pupils as well as those attending public ones? As vet we haven't heard any debate on this proposal nor on that to allocate some of the school grants to the parochial schools for their maintenance We don't expect that Connecticut will change it's attitude on this question in 1887 any more than . it has in the past when brought up in Hartford.
 However, it might be interesting to see what is taking place in the neighboring State of Massachusetts. They have law there, passed in 1886, which provides for transportation of parochial and private school pupils. How the law was ever passed up there we don't know, but cer- tainly there is opposition to it. Repeal of the state was urged this week at the State Capitol in Boston with clergymen of six Protestant denominations leading the attack.
 The arguments against were many and varied. One was that unless the law was , repealed "the fires of passion will be lighted from ProvincetoWn to the Berk- shires. .' A logical and reasonable argument for repeal? Another minister said, The state has no right to send chil- dren to private schools public expense and I am not willing to help pay such < money. Private schools may save the state little money, but they are hurting our wonderful public school system. ="
 The "little money" being saved the state was estimated by the Rev Richard J. Quinlan,, supervisor of schools of the Boston archdiocese of the United States, !, is about $15, 5,0O0,OOO annually, based on parochial school attendance in the Bay State of 150,000 children It might be better if the law were repealed and it might be better in this state if no law { were passed whereby state aid is given parochial and private schools. As MT. James w. FitzPatrick put it once the state has stepped in that far, it will in short time attempt to dictate what is being taught in private and parochial schools.

An out-of-town newspaper man blow ing into Detroit lately found dozens of strikes under way. He couldn't learn exactly how many. "They don't know any more," he reported. They've lost count" Nearly all of these were sit- downs. He calls them the strangest labor demonstration in history. He doesn't know why the should have broken out in Detroit rather than elsewhere.
