REST CURE BROUGHT
STRANGE PRISON RIOT

LONDON, Aug. II. (CP).-
Rioting in Parkhurst GaOl, Isle Of
Wight, has now been revealed as
due to a rest cure in hospital or
dered for three conyicts.
These three &men ran am0k Ill
the hospital, breaking up furnl-
ture and doing much damage
The reason was that, as step
toward humanizing prisons, the
home office recently introduced
earning schemes at prisons by
which convicts could earn poe ket
money for tobacco and other lux
uries.
This led to complaints by con-
victs at Parkhurst that by being
sent to hospital with minor all
ments they lost their working
money, and the grievance culml-
mated with the riot by the three
prisoners who were supposed to
be enjoying a rest cure.

UNCLE RAYS CORNER-Burninq Of Rome

You probably have heard the old
saying Nero f1ddled while Rome
burned"
The saying cannot be exactly true,
since the fiddle, or violin, was not
invented until long after Nero's
death. The Romans, however, had
the Tyre, a small instrument. of the
narp type, and Nero knew how to
ulay 1t. 1t is possible that he
twitched the chords while his city
was burning, but there is no proof
that he did so. All we may say
Is that he was at times insane, or
nearly 50, and that he might have
done such a thing.
Other tales have gathered around
the name Of Nero, and one is that he
ordered his servants to set fire to
Rome. This statement also has no
proof. Nero blamed the Christians
for starting the fire, and they, in
turn, accused him.
Very likely the fire was an acci-
dent. More than once flames had
spread through Rome, but the fire
In Nero's time was probably the
worst of all. 1t lasted six days. and
about two-thirds of the buildings
were destroyed.
After the fire Nero ordered the
Evening star., 1938-11-29

to erect grand palace for himself.
Here is the way Roman writer
described the palace:
"All parts were overlaid with gold
and adorned with jewels and mother
of pearl. There were dining rooms
with fretted ceilings of ivory, and
with panels fitted with pipes to
sprinkle guests with perfume.
The main dining room was circular
and kept turning around day and
night like the heavens. There were
three rows of columns stretching
out for a mile. and Gin the palace
grounds) there was a lake like
sea, with woodlands. vineyards and
buildings around it."
In courtyard of the palace there
was a statue of Nero more than 100
feet high.

Winning Contract
BY THE FOUR ACES.
Know When to Give Up

When we first started to play
bridge Qonger ago than we care to
reckon). we found out very quickly
that one of the best bids in the game
was the business double. We OBJ
served that the majority Of players
made very unsound overcalls and
that some large penalties could be
garnered by doubling low contracts.
Most players learned by bitter ex-
perience that it does not pay to
overcall on a hand that does not
contain substantial playing strength,
and today it is very common
for player to refuse to make
an overcall at the range of two
on hand that might well justi-
fy an opening bid. This extreme
care is abandoned only in the event
that the opponents have a partial
score. when some chances must be
taken in an attempt to push them
to an unmakable contract. How
ever. there are limits. beyond which
one cannot afford to 60.

MERIT STAFF IN
 NEW LOCATION
Association Opens State Headquarters in Liberty
 Building. New Haven

For the first time in 57 years the Connecticut Merit System Associa- tion has changed headquarters. Since 1881 when this organization was founded, it has spread its edu- cational influence throughout the state from its office at 139 Orange street, New Haven, but today takes up it's work with increased vigor in the Liberty Building at 152 Temple street, room 6, on the mezzanine floor. The change will provide the association with modern office fa- cilities necessary to meet its great ly expanded activities.
 Although this is the first change of address since 1881, there have been three changes in the name of the organization. From 1881 to 1901 as the New Haven Civil Service Re- form Association, 1t sought federal civil service reform. In 1901, ex- pansion changed it to the Connecti- cut Civil Service Reform Association which drafted two civil service bills and presented them to the state leg islature. One, and optional law making it possible for cities to adopt civil service reform was passed in 1911. The other creating a state classified service was passed in 1913 but repealed in 1921. the only case of state civil service reform repeal in the U. s. Becoming interested ill

beyond the hazard, with Death chuckling up his sleeve at your frantic efforts. And, al ltoo often, thates the end of you, except for the fact that you are next day added to string of figures that last year totaled a disgraceful 23,800. All because you couldn't see in the dark!"
 Night Traffic
 Night ffic-accident fatalities have increased close to forty per cent since 1880. During that same period of time motor-vehicle deaths during daytime hours de- creased three per cent. It has been determined that your chances of becoming involved in fatal traffic accident at night are twice as great as they are during the day. It has been further de- termined that the cost of night accidents range from $2,0OO to $8,000 a mile.
 Well, you say, I'm interested, but what proof is there that highway lighting reduces the night traffic accident fatality and serious in- jury rate? One of the most con- vincing answers to that question is the four-year study of the parkways of Westchester county, New York. With lights in full after-dark service, the ratio of day to night accidents was 1 to 2.2: with lighting reduced 40 per cent, the ratio jumped to 1 to 3.7, and, with all lights turned off, the rate climbed to 1 to 4.8. Here's another good one. Recent figures obtained from the New York state highway department concerning Route 17-C, at Binghamton, show that highway illumination reduced night fatalities 67 per cent, en- tirely eliminated serious night in- juries, dropped night pedestrian accidents 75 per cent and cut all night accidents in half. An out standing example of another states interest in lighting high ways for safe night driving is New Jerseys recent illumination of White Horse Pike, running fifty six miles across the state from Camden to Atlantic City.

Death Stalks At Night!
 Grim Reaper Holds Winning Cars With Life as Stake When Autos Travel After Shutdown 23,8OO Persons Killed at Night During 1887.

When night falls, Death stalks the unlighted American highway. The night driver has from four to ten times as many accident-pro- voking hazards to contend with as the motorist who confines his use of the road to daytime travel. Steering motor vehicle over a dark highway, despite the low volume of traffic on the road after the sun goes down is as uncertain a process as a roll of the dice. It's an extremely dangerous game in which Life is always the stake and in which Death usually holds the winning cards.
 60 Per Cent of Fatalities
 Twenty three thousand eight hundred or sixty per cent of the 39.700 persons killed in traffic ac- cidents last year met Death on the highway after dark" declared Charles M. Upham, engineer director of the American Road Builders association in a special interview today in his Washing ton offices. "The rapidity of mod ern, streamlined transportation has catapulted the American high way user beyond the security he used to enjoy within the range of his headlights at a slower speed and in a less powerful vehicle. The headlights of the 1888 model motor vehicle are doing more than good job when they pene- trate as much as 200 feet of dark ness. If you are driving at the rate of sixty miles an hour, your motor vehicle will cover these 200 feet in a little under two seconds.
 Not much chance in two sec- ,onds, in that limited range of visibility, to clearly define the ob- stacle ahead, to make up your mind what to do to avoid colli- sino. to slam on the brakes, to swing your vehicle around and
