"very few can repeat the Ten Commandments" stated Rev. Dr. John c. Walker, pastor of the Sec ond Congregational church in his address yesterday morning.
 "A good many of us would have to confess that we might need help in repeating the Apostles Creed. Nothing is more characteristic of Christian worship, both personal and public, than the Lords Prayer. Yet am all too sure that there are values we have not yet discovered, meanings we have not yet learned. That the Lords Prayer may grow in meaning and value and that the Masters dreams and desires for the brethren may be made plain, we dedicate these sermon addresses during Lent. Long ago Tertullian, one of the great Church Fathers, said, 'The Lords Prayer is the epi- tome of the whole gospel" May it

NEW REGULATIONS
 ON MODEL PLANES
Aviation Commissioner Requests Withdrawal of
 First Case on Old Law

New regulations governing gas model planes have been issued by State Aviation Commissioner Charles L. Morris. A copy of the rules has been sent to the Water bury Gas Model Plane association, which protested against the com- missioner's action of several months ago in banning the planes com- pletely.
 When the commissioner an- nounced the ban last fall, Eric Schmeer of this city, was arrested in WatertoWn in case to test the validity of the regulation. The case was withdrawn from court last week at the request of Commissioner Morris.
 No free-flying model aircraft shall be flown in or over the state of Connecticut if powered by any means other than rubber bands, except in accordance with the fol- lowing regulations, and such supple mentary regulations as may from time to time be issued by the depart ment of aeronautics.
 No such model aircraft shall be flown from or over any site which has not been approved for this pur- pose by the commissioner. No site will be approved if it is within two miles of recognized airport, or in close proximity to public high ways or congested built-up areas; ncr will it be approved until permis- siua has been received from the owner of the site and the owners of any neighboring property which, in the opinion of the commissioner, may be affected.
 No person shall fly, or cause D be flown any such model aircraft, unless said person shall hold a valid Gas Model Flyers License" as is- sued by the National Aeronautic as- sociation to persons l6 years of age or over.
 No such model aircraft shall be flown unless it is properly registered by the National Aeronautic associa- tion, and marked with the identify ing insignia as required by said as- sociation.
 1NO ouCAA AAAOACA uA VI dAu oAlIAA bC flown If its weight exceeds seven pounds, or if its wing loading is greater than 10 ounces per square foot.
 The flight of any such model air. craft shall be limited by the use of an approved automatic timer, set for maximum flight of 45 seconds; and it shall be further limited by its fuel supply which shall not ex- ceed 1-16 ounces per pound of model wieght.
 No such model aircraft shall be flown except under the supervision, and with the approval of proper ly appointed National Aeronautic association model director. Said model director and the gas model flyers shall be jointly and nidiv- idually responsible for adherence to these regulations.
 The National Aeronautic associa- tion shall report to the Connecticut department of aeronautics all model aircraft licenses and registrations issued to Connecticut residents, giv- ing full details. Said association shall further report to said depart ment all violations coming to it's at- tention, and shall furnish complete

 "To say that her testimony ad- nitS of a possible construction that 5he bulge in the pavement and not he hole caused her to fall necessi- ates palpable straining of her lear meaning.
 "The defendant is not liable for injuries caused by a defect within fight inches of the rail. This de- feet, the hole, was within the ex- empt eight inches.
 Puzzled By Verdict
 What caused the jury to decide IS it did I do not know. The plain tiff's plight was such as to excite sympathy since her troubles came not single spies"
 Tt is difficult not to wish that the facts were different, but wish ing cannot make them different.
 Because the verdict is against the law upon the uncontrovertible evil dence, it must be set aside."
 Attorney William K. Lawlor ap- peared for the plaintiff, while As sistant Corporation Counsel Tim othy s. Sullivan and Attorney Ed ward Mcdonald represented the city.

can not get food from water-l logged earth.
 The soil may be clay or sand and in either case it must contain humus to supply plant food. Humus is decayed vegetable matter. Soil from the top of the ground where vegetables or farm crops have been raised contains humus and is called topsoil.
 Feel the soil. If clay, a handful of it will stick together in a tight ball and it needs humus. If sand and it has no roots in it, then it too needs humus. Pay no attention to the color. Some of the blackest earth is only full of soot.
 Nothing equals cattle manure to make topsoil out of ordinary clay or sand. It puts the humus and plant food into the ground. If it is impossible to get manure, use peat moss and muck and mix with it a commercial fertilizer.

 She didn't mind his drinking, she said, but she wished that he'd do it at home, where she could keep an eye on him. It was then that the husband pro- pounded the question. With an air of complete disgust, he snorted: "Who wants to get drunk at homer"

 Meaning of Life

llI1Q lC 50 to De!
 Meaning of Life
 Indeed one of the great teachers I know in years gone by has said, Reverence for the highest is mans deepest need, what he reverences being, in his inmost hearts, what he is, and in his ultimate attainment, what he will be-" Reverence par takes of the vast mystery, the eter- nal meaning of life. We have little claim upon the mercy of God un- less we have affection for Him, rev. erence for Him. You can have little fellowship and no real friendship with man unless you have respect for him. What have we in common with the great eternal purpose of God unless you have respect for him. What have we in common with the great eternal purpose of God unless we have reverence for God?"
 Lack of reverence is not only irreligion, it leads to moral break down, moral disaster. If a man has no deep reverence for womanhood he is more than likely to go off the deep end some day. If man has no real sense of honor, no stubborn loyalty to honesty as honesty whe- ther it pays or not, he is likely to be caught with stolen goods in his pos session. If a man lacks mystic sense of human brotherhood you need not expect that he will be just and fair and impartial in his deal- ings with other men. Not so long since a negro was lynched in the South. This cruel mob burned the flesh of that poor negro off his bones with a blow torch while he was still alive. How can civilized men do such things? They have for gotten that men are all sons of one great Father, that black or white, He is our Father"

| with a number of years experience or you may be just starting your first garden this spling In either case begin your spring activity on a few sound facts.
 It is not difficult to learn about soils, fertilizers, insects, and pests. A few simple rules learned in the beginning will save many a heart ache later on.
 Plants require sunshine, water, air, and soil with plant food in it.. Sunshine and air are supplied us. If not enough water comes to us We can always use the hose. The gardeners job is to get the earth into proper condition.
 Most trees, shrubs, flowers, and grass grow best in neutral or alkaline soil Only few varieties of plants need an acid condition. How can we tell what kind of soil we have? Buy at any drugstore 10 cents worth of litmus paper, take cupful of the soil, add water, and if a blue litmus paper turns red the soil is acid. If it stays blue it is on the alkaline side.
 Tn order to make an acid .oil sweet" or alkaline, first get air into the soil by adding sifted coal ashes, cinders, strawy manure, agri- cultural slag from blast furnaces, or agricultural lime.
 Soil must also have drainage for taking away excess water. Plants
