All rights of publication of special Building Boom m Fiction . Sometimes it seems as though present-day authors show little originality in their choxce of titles. There will he almost a run on some particular form of title in any given season. According to one book reviewer, this season I offering in new books ought to help to solve the housing short- age. 011 recent publishers’ lists may be found: ”The House of the Secret," “The House of Beautiful Hope,” “The. House of Yost," “The Fore- ing House," “The House on Struth Street,” “The House by the \de- mill” and “The House of the Fighting Cocks.” They were pre- ceded by “The Head of the House of Coomhe," “The House of Mohun" ”and “The House on Charles Street.” Perhaps (‘harles'Diokens start- ed it all with “Bleak House,” but if he had been writing today he would no doubt have spoiled the brevity and interest of that title by calling his book “The House of Bleakness. " O In Twenty Years Henry Ford completed his first automobile in June, 1903, and sold it early in the succeeding July. His first year‘s output was 1,708 cars. This year the Ford Motor Company estimates its production ' at 1,500,000 cars, nearly a thou- sandfold that of the initial sea- son. It has grown who one of the largest industrial organiza- tions in the world, if not the larg- est. The parent plant, 300 acres in extent. has 123 acres under roof and is the world‘s largest individ- ual automobile factory. In addi- tion the company has the world’s largest foundry, operates its own blast furnaces, machine shops, body plant, saw mill, coke ovens, cement plant, paper mill, power plant, locomotive repair shops and tractor plants. It owns glass fac- tories also, coal and iron mines and great areas of forest land, and owns and operates its own railway system. The Ford Motor Company has 34 branches thgughout the coun- try, ot‘ which are assembling plants. It is producing cars and trucks at the rate of 6.700 a day, while 9,000 dealers and 15,000 au- thorized service stations distribute its product and maintain its con- tact with the public. It has for- eign branches and associated com- panies in Buenos Aires. San Paulo, Montevideo, Havana, Copenhagen, Antwerp, Manchester, Cork, Barcelona, Bordeaux and Trieste. Wherever there are roads there are Fords. The man who created this enor' mous business and who by reason of its success, enjoys the largest income of any living man, had only a district school education and not long ago admitted that he did not know the difference between Benedict Arnold and Arnold Bennett. He is only 60 and he may be president of the United States. Here is simon-pure roma ee for you, and it is altogether ericsn. O O 0 Radio Aircraft Treaty It is announced that another important treaty will be submit- ted to the United States Senate when Congress meets again in the fall. It is intended to supplement the work of the arms limitation conference held in Washington a year ago last winter. . That conference was unable to agree on a policy for the regula- tion of aircraft in warfare. It recognized that this type of. arm. ament called for new rules of in- ternational law, and s‘ commimion was appointed to study the sub- ect and report. Its findings have een incorporated in the tresty to two particulars.

FISH You don't need to wait any longer for the season's biggest fish ysrn. Jake Bauett and Snapper Sehellen- ger. fishing in the Delaware Bay. claim they caught nine channel has totaling 800 pounds in weight. in one hour. The food supply easiest to get com- mercially is fish. It will not be many years until our rapidly increasing population will have to depend on water life for a considerable part of its food. the same as now in Japan. Most of the large cities on the Great Lakes are stupidly killing or: the fish by dumping their sewage into the lakes. The federal government could stop that. and should. It owns the Great Lakes. IRON “’e still live in the Iron Age. And last year the world's production of pig iron was only a trifle more than 50 million tons. If you bother to fig- ure it out. you will find that it re- quired about 80 pounds of iron for each person on earth to keep the Iron Age going. Iron. not gold. is the metal to be respected. Output of pig iron last year was a third less than in 1913. which shows how the war set the world beck. MARRIAGE Applying for a Civil War widow’s pension. Mrs. Catherine A. \"heeler (of Union. Okla.) tells the Pension Office that she was the wife of veteran \Vheeler 73 years and over. The Pen- sion omce says this is the longdst period of wedlock which it has ever emcislly encountered. Seventy-three years is a mighty long time to live with anybody._ Young people. inclined to marry hastily. should keep this Wheeler care in mind. A great many people believe that marriage is for eternity. BARRIERS At the Fort Berthold Indian Agency in North Dakota. the red men decide that no Indian in that territory can have more than two dogs. and that they must pay 81 a head license yearly. Each Indian was trying to keep at least six. and something had to be done. in some white sections you still can tell how poor a men is by the number of dogs he keeps. The person who wastes too affection on mongrels is apt have enough left fu- humans. much not to NE“! After 20 years experimenting, Frank Lang comes from Munich. Germany, with an apparently perfected crude oil motor that operates without an ig- nition system. He calls it the Acre Motor. If successful. no more bother with carburetors. timers. msgncioe and spark plugs. Auto drivers will realise the im- portance of such s. motor. when they stop to think that crude oil can be pur- chased in cities for a. few rents a gal- lon. Would some gasoline maker huy Lang's motor to keep it of! the mar- ket? That has been done with many important inventions. ASHES France reveals that it has nearly 1.500.000 mutilated war veterans. in- cludlng the blind. crippled. shell- shocked and insane. These unfortu- nates are costing the French govern— ment five billion francs a year—pen- sions, etc. This is part of the price of "victory.” A war is a loss. to the victor as Well as to the loser. This would be generally reelised. if it were not for the propa- gandists. of whom there are two dis- tinct types—morons and those with a personal selfish interest. VACATION About 22,100,000 young Americans are enjoying vacations until school starts again in the fall. Government estimate. These 12.100.000 soon will take the burden from the backs of our genera- tion. Having made a. frightful mess of things. we are leaving them an’ evil heritage.

It sounds good on paper. and the movement may amount to some-1 thing. for it's a real attempt on a big scale to enforce the prohibition law as it applies to the use of alcohol as an industrial w material.

FEAR - Ifore life insurance will be sold in ms than in any previous year. if the pace keeps up. Up to June, Americans took out nearly 8.200 million dollars of life policies. a gain of about e fourth over the corresponding five months of lest year. ‘ This reveals that the fear instinct is running at exceptionally high tide. It will have n distinct bearing on the duration of our business boom. :Iisrd times and prosperity are emtional ’i W_.- -WVM—fi . ."‘ a .‘iris 5. e 3! mar m “Gimme. gimme. gimme!“ Hear the Gimmes as t shag. ‘Gimme. gimme. gimme!" i0!

(Copyright 1913. NEA Service Inc.) J State Comments Make Tail-Llifhts Useful (New Haven Register) . By actual tests made with all mullv'ru lzhl‘zl on motor vehicles the eastern slates. these used this year by Connecticut head the list its to ”stability. Out of 60, 58 of ours gave a D( rfect reading. New York was second with 47 out of 6'0. and Massachusetts, which has perhaps. the handsomcst plate in the list. was third with 44. The original purpose of a motor marker was visibility. of course. and visibility for the purpose of readily identifying the owner of the ear. The need of this means of identification grows in nicnlsity with every passing month. the in Connecticut As l'suai (Middleton Pressl) Recently a national publication considering laws and business relat- ing to motor vehicles. went investi- gating into state arrangements for supervising this now gigantic method of locomotion. It found Just two states which were about as near per- fect as possible. with special refer. ence to keeping track of accidents and meeting the conditions arising out of them. it is hardly necemry to tell our readers that Connecticut is ode of these states and the general leader in all that relates to a reasonable supervis|on of the motor vehicle and its users. The other state is our neighbor. Massachusetts. These two are the only ones in the L'nion which systematically keep a record of all motor vehicle accidents. This is merely one more feet which shows how Connecticut 'stands to the front in the art of govern- ment by the people. No. we are far from being perfect—nothing on earth is that, or can be yet awhile. But when it comes to providing pretty good public service at the lowest cost. and with up-to-date methods well i nthe lead——well. 'none of the forty-seven sisters has anything on this lsnd of steady habits. There is a tremendous weight of evidence to back up this assertion. Said With Feeling , (Ansonis. Sentinel) . ty Press club has invited the Conn ticut Editorial euociation to hold its summer outing in Canaan. hav- ing come to the attention of the bald but not hairless John Rodemeyer of the Greenwich News and Observer. he proceeds to help on the good work by filling the breasts of the members of the state association with pleasurable anticipation. The reasons why man should desire to visit the land of Conan are. as he sees them, numerous and potent. Not only is Canaan “the head center of moral and social virtues for north- western Connecticut. and at the same time. paradoxical as it may seem, the political headquarters of the state." But there's more than all that to charm the visitor. In the whole- some. life-giving ozone of Canaan one feels the thrill of expansion—- the up-eweiling. the spiritual‘ bloat» ing and the Joyous sense of bursting with the essence of glorious vitality that inspired the prise-winning oomr petition n the Canaan slogan con— test to carve on her escutcheon the immortal challenge proclaiming her “The Growing End of the Nutmeg." ‘ All this is said with feeling for as some of us know it was in mm that John got hisfihsir heck.
