New Cinder Star

A NEW cinder star is blazing his
- way around U. S. tracks. and
he's none other than Leslie Mac
Mitchell, the New York university
freshman who broke schoolboy rec
ords all the way from half-mile to
cross country distances.
Glenn Cunningham and Archie
San ROmani are emphatic in agree
ing that he is the country's hest
undermining prospect. N. Y. q.
Coach Emil Won Filing says he has
all the physical attributes to he
. great miller. That leaves exueri.
ence to put him at the head of the
field.
Recently he ran against Cunninp.
ham and Gene Venzke at 800 me-
tiers. Though he ran fifth behind
Cunningham, no one was disappoint-
ed. He hit 1:55, almost four sec
onds better than Venzke's winning
time a year ago, and only two sec.
onds slower than Cunningham-and
Glenn ran the fastest 800 that's ever
been recorded. MacMitcheu made
that time despite the fact that he
got of to a poor start and ran
wide most of the way.
The new runner has the build
and the poise. The average young
ster going up against such famons
rivals would be awe-struck. But
not MacMitchell. He meets them
on equal terms, the way he will he
racing them before long.
The Olympic games are COMING
up in 1910, and the freshman will
be shooting for spot on that team
and to shoot accurately, he'll need
plenty of fast competition.

TWO AND A HALF
CENTS seem like
nothing at all in the
price of a gallon of
whlskey, but as a matter
OF fact it is a big part of
the profit to the manu-
facturer. Few people
know that of the price
the consumer pays at
retail for a gallon of
whiskey, very little goes
for the whiskey; most
of it is for taxes, which
must be turned over to
Federal or State Govern
ments. Seventy cents a
gallon is a high price for
a manufacturer to re-
ceive. Manufa cturers
actually figure on a
profit of only a few cents
a gallon. Take away two
and a half cents, the
production tax in Mary
land, and it makes a
serious difference.

later, the accordion was introduced in the United States.
 Novelty For Years
 Until 1920, however, the accordion was considered mostly novelty in- Strument, obtaining popularity in theaters and vaudeville houses. Mu- sicians were watching it's progress, but did not consider it seriously un- til it attained great vogue with dance bands. small ensembles and, as in other years, as solo instru- ment.
 Today there is hardly a town in the country where there are not teachers of the accordion, players and bands using the instrument. Manufacturers continued improve ments until the bass notes of the instruments were made similar to organ notes, with the chord buttons furnishing the harmony.
 On a modern accordion the right hand keyboard, like the organ, imi- tates several orchestral instruments while the mechanics of the bellows may be likened to the lowing of a violin.
 Waterbury has done its share in developing the accordion to its pres- ent stage. In 1881. Domenic Mecca found the first accordion school in Waterbury which he has developed into the largest in Connecticut.
 Two years ago. he presented Con- necticut's first all-accordion con- cert here and since then these con- certs have become notable through out the state. The concerts did much to add to popularity of the accord ion and MT. Mecca. with his younger brother, Anthony, have been play ing metropolitan engagemnets throughout the East as well as

POLICE CONTINUE
 SAFETY CAMPAIGN
Protection Desired For Youngsters Fatalities
 Reduced

"The Waterbury police depart ment is striving continually to re- ducs> the number of motor vehicle accidents in Waterbury-to put 8 stop to the deaths, injuries and property damage that result from accidents that could be avoided"
 Some day, perhaps, we will have a city virtually free of accidents. The accomplishments of the police accident Investigating squad and &C., cident prevention bureau have shown that this is not entirely an impos- sibility. During the past few years there have been amazing reduc- tions in auto fatalities and auto accidents"
 "The children of today, the grown-ups of few years from now -are our hope for the future. If our safety plan succeeds, the rising generation will consist of young men and young women soundly trained in the basic principles of safety, who will will follow the training given them"
 Parents can do nothing better than to inculcate early in their chil- dren an appreciation of the simple way in which safety can be achiev- ed. With proper training, children can be shown and made to realize that it is to their own advantage to cross only at crosswalks, to re- frain from playing in the streets,

teaching at the Mecca Accordion school on Bank street.
 Numerous Engagements
 Among the numerous engagements recently was the featured concert played by the Mecca brothers at the 1888 Music Trades Convention at Chicago late last year.
 And now the local accordion artists, the Mecca brothers, are to play their premier engagement on April 18th, when at Carnegie hall, that peak of artists recital pro- grams, the Waterbury musicians will be guest artists on one of the most unusual musical programs in his- tory. For the first time ever an ac- cordion concert is to be given at Carnegie hall.
 Featured in the program will be the Mecca brothers of Waterbury, playing as guest artists with Charles Magnante, famous radio accordion ist of New York, whose playing has won praise from the sternest critics of music in this country and abroad.
 MT. Magnante, according to ac- cordion experts, has been leading factor in developing the versatility of programs possible for the accord ion, from swing to classics such as compositions of the masters, Mozart, Bache, Beethoven, and composers whose music never has been heard before played on the accordion.
 The Carnegie hall concert, ap- bearing with MT. Magnante and his famous quartette, will be highligEt in the musical record of the local accordion experts, the Mecca bro thers.

 'The results of our safety work in Waterbury have shown clearly that lives can be saved, that injuries and property damage caused by autonlo- bile accidents can be avoided Our success has been possible only be- cause of the cooperation of the citizens of Waterbury, who have realized what our aims are and have followed our suggestions"

Good Habits For Children

The task of childhood is to form good habits. A child learns through much effort the habit of balancing himself on his two feet, of putting one foot in front of the other, of shaping his lips and placing his tongue in certain ways to form sounds we call words. Most chil- dren are given much help and en- couragement in building up these habits. Yet in forming certain other habits, no less important, they receive little help.
 Take your own little child for ex- ample. You may be careful that he

The accordion was invented in the early part of the 18th century and, far different from what the instru- inent now includes, had no more than four treble keys and two but tons for basses. As more keys were added, the style and repertoire of the player was augmented until fin- ally, in 1895, someone experimented with placing piano keyboard on the right side of the instrument in place of the buttons.
 The success of the invention changed the capacities of the in- strument considerably and ten years

New Gains Predicted
Here During 1910
BY ALVIN @. EHRLICH,

President. Washington Advertising Club.
When old man 1899 retires to-
night he can look toward Washing
ton and smile and a well-de-
served smile it will be. Few things
have happened during the old gents
brief tenure which he could use as
a recommendation for a second
term. but his job in Washington has
been well done. And if the past
year is an indication, 1910 will be
an even more prosperous year for
Washington than the record-break-
ing year just ended.
With additional thousands of
citizens coming to Washington to
help Uncle Sam count his family
for the 1910 census, it is safe to
predict that the record-breaking
building pace will continue for some
time to come.
Federal employment in the Dis
trict hit record high in 1899. De-
partment stores had a banner year.
There were few months in 1899
when sales didn't exceed the sales
of the corresponding months of
1898. With population, pay rolls,
employment and visitors on the in
crease, sales should set new records
in 1910.

BY Cambridge Associates.
Never in the history Of civilized
nations, except possibly In Ger
many during her long and difficult
struggles to preserve a favorable
balance Of trade, have individuals
been subject to such stringent
regulations with regard to the use
of their money as are now applied
in England, France and Canada.
Any one who has occasion to
transfer funds outside Great Brit
ain, or even to liquidate holdings
Of securities in other nations, must
now do so under strict supervision
of the Bank of England or its au-
thorized agents. If necessary, the
government contemplates laying
down rules controlling the use of
imported foods and materials In
order to guard closely every avail
able credit which may be used for
the purchase OF necessary war ma
terials. In the previous war, the
prestige of Britain in international
monetary matters made all this
unnecessary.
Gold Is Licensed.
Exports of gold from the United
Kingdom are now subject to license
from the Bank of England or banks
acting under its authority. Bona
fide commercial transactions pre-
dating the restrictions. can be
liquidated, but money transactions
are subject to the strictest review.
Owing to the fact that the Cana
dian dollar has not declined as
sharply as the British pound, steps
have been taken to divorce Canada's
currency from that of the United
Kingdom; included are restrictions
against transfer between the two
countries almost as stringent as
those applying to other nations.

securities are quite substantial and
can be further strengthened by
more intensive activity in her gold
mines.
French Resources Low.
One of the first steps in this
strange war was an announcement
by Canada that she had no in
tention of further increasing her
external debt or Of allowing her
present debt service to be affected
by exchange vagaries.
France plays very little part In
the great economic picture, owing
to the fact that her resources have
been declining for number Of
years. She is furnishing a possible
battle-ground and the nucleus Of
manpower. To the British Empire
falls the task of supplying the
sinews of war,
