This is not the first instance of where fine traffic safety record has been ruined by intoxicated pedestrians who should be taken in charge by local police for the pedestrians own safety. The time has gone by when the police can afford to allow obviously intoxicated persons to wend an uncertain way homewards. These individuals step out into the street, into the path of moving vehicles and it is impossible for the operators to avert the &C., cident.

Style Slaves! Weeks Protest for Emancipation End ing at Crosby
 High School.

Old Glory still flys proudly from the flag staff in front of the school building, there has been no fan-flares of publicity, no riot calls, no mournful piugrimages to the "wailing wall', no grand jury probes and merchants report the usual demand for lively colors in "cravats for dad, brother and the boy friend'-all these despite the fact that the male students of Crosby high school are staging a demonstration this week!
 Since last Monday morning the students, the males of course, freshmen as well as seniors, have appeared in class rooms minus their ties. If their sister stu dents look at them questioningly or if the teachers greeted them with frowns of disapproval or smiles that might be characterized as "pitingly", the brave lads per- sisted in what they are pleased to call a protest against convention. A few weak-hearted laddies either in defiance or as slaves of custom Sported cravatS.
 Without casualties resulting ."pickets" or vigilantes saw to it that the non-systematic students listened to reason" and joined the movement by removing the. offending ties".
 Yesterday and today there were signs of a return to normalcy, a little weak-hearted admittedly, but nevertheless signs.
 A few of the boys arriving at the conclusion that they had demonstrated very properly against dictates of style complet- ed their ensemble with ties.
 It was reported today that members of the faculty will don eye-shades when school convenes after the holidays for the anti cipated reaction.
 Ties, all colors imaginable, some soothing, some disturbing to the retina will make their appearance. It will be the lingering spirit" of Christmas reflected in ideal giftsAeravatsl Time marches onl Style once more rules. Conven- ton slaves carry on for good old Crosbyl

 there were 15 deaths, five of them in Bridgeport. The holiday season will be likewise marred this year he says, unless great care and cau- tion are exercised.
 Fifteen Die
 Fifteen persons were killed on December 24th, 25th, 26th and 27th last year. observes the commission CT in his appeal for safe driving over the weekend. Seventy eight others were injured, some of them seriously so that lasting damage was done to their health and earning power. Surely we of Connecticut are not going to repeat such a sad per- formance this year. The figures quoted are for Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday of 1887, just such a weekend holiday as the state will observe this year."
 Bridgeport appears on the list for all four dates continues the com miSsioner's statement" Analysis of the accidents might show that the mishaps were caused by other than Bridgeport operators but this is no criticism of the communities in which the accidents were located other than the record might serve well as an appeal to the residents of Bridgeport, Hartford. Waterbury, New Haven, Derby, Milford, Vest port and Litchfield to keep the traf- fic accident slate clean this year.

functions with the idea of supplying
steady, constant amount OF heat

ables you to budget the expense Of

fluctuation in bills which oftentimes

gas ignites, the hot gases pass up

with fairly large brush. A dry brush
is then dragged down the walls from
