firebug cases. They ended when
-the State Police rounded up seven
men. Since that time Darien has
had little trouble from fires. A
thorough investigation of all suspi-

work by the police may result in
"smaller fires. and less of them."

A trend of the times “as contain-

, Health Officer Dr. Robert E. Per-

day as a result of the Clean-up
eekwork than ever before.
It is gratifying news. A city that
wishes to progress solely on its in-
ustrial merits can do so. if it has
good labor supply. good transo

INDIA'S PROBLEM.
A: most deplonble position is
still occupied by the pariahs of In-
dia, in spite of the process of eman-
cipation which 's slowly taking
place among the native women.
These outcasts or "untouchables"
are descendants of the aboriginal
tribes and Dravidlans and when the
Arvans conquered India the Indo-
Aryan made virtual slaves of the
natives. These dark aboriginals per-
formed all kinds of menial labor
and were forbidden to mingle with
the victorious and fair Aryans.
Today India has 53. 000. OQO lil-
borere who are forbidden to inter-
marry or to eat with other people.
They cannot visit any of the tem-
ples. they cannot draw water from
public wells, they are prevented
from walking in village streets and
in many places the streets of towns.
Their children are excluded in
many parts from the interior of
the schools. They have to live in
separate parts of the village. and
it they start out to work from their
dwelling place they must. make a
distance noise that the caste people
may know that they are approach-
ing. If by any chance a highcsste
comes within 64 feet of an "un-
touchable." he must perform a puri-
fication ceremony. In part. of
South India an outcast may not
even walk. on public bridges and
once born a pariah. always a pa-
riah.
Sonic Figures on Thrift.
(Seattle Post-Intelligence. )
According to figures of the Ameri-
can Banksrs‘ association. the number
of savings banks accounts more than
doubled in the five-year period from
1919 to 1924.
In 1919 there were in round num.
beta 18 million such accounts. In
1924 there were nearly 89 million.
From 1914 to 1918 there was an
increase of only 6,164. In 1911. when
the prohibilton law went into effect.
the number increased by 7. 538. 501.
that is an enormous difference. It
is partly to be accounted for by the
fact that “Ii-1918 were war years.
But that prohibition was also large-
ly influential in the increase hard-
ly anybody. we think. would deny.
One life insurance general agent
says: "We do not have one-tenth as
many rejections on account of habo
its of drinking as we had 10 years
ago. Tens of thousands of men are
now taking out insurance who used
to spend their money at the corner
saloon."
These iigures have no bearing on
the ‘monl eifect of prohibition. But
in its effect on thrift and the con-
servational of national financial re-
sources they are interesting.

electricity has but commenced. and

THE MiniEWS’ ESTATE
Readers of The Evening Sentinel Are Sending
Suggestions and Making Interesting Addi-
tions to Story
To depart for the moment from
the discussion of the big Norwalk
estate, and to aescend more to the
writins of these articzea upon the
subject. there are a row facts worth
considering.
Nore'alk. rich in historical interest
1- particularly improverished as to
her written history. Many of the
old families have kept records, and
geanological charts. but those can
hardly be considered public rec-
ords. Some day there may be a con-
certed effort to weld these‘ works
into a whole. .
Perhaps some reader will immed-
iately disagree with the statement
as to this paucity of written work.
Immediately he will cry.
“But Selleck's‘ History?"
This is notable as the exception
and the particularly fine work be-
gun by the Norwaik Minister. was
never completed. One volume stands
of the work he had prepared to do.
And to anyone who has dug into
historical matters with an eye to
the 'whole truth. and nothing but
the truth. it must be plain that on
that one volume was expanded years
of patient ieffort.
To return to the present series of
articles. particularly with note to-
ward Selleck's History. one reader
of The Evening Sentinel says that
our recOrds and dates of the pur-
chase ot the land that makes up
the Mathews Estate. differs in de-
tall from his. They differ in. that
in this one case The Evening Ben-
tlnel has gone into a little more de-
tail than 8-week wants. Selleck's
statement that four homesitee were
purchased. was in the main, true. The
fact was. however. that two of these
four homesitos were broken into
smaller allotments before 146nm!
.Ackwood began his purchase.
There has been undoubted inter-
est in this series of articles. and
from many persons have come val-
uable suggestions and items of great
help. It is the hope of The Evening
Sentinel that its readers Will not
hesitate to contribute any sugges-
tion or particle of information on
this series. ‘
-Mueh of the material gathered.
depends upon hearsay. handed down
three or four times. This newspaper
feels that as a matter of public in-
terest. the correct points should be
recorded. so that this series may be
of value to the growing generation
of the city.
Many readers have already sent in
valuable contributions concerning
items already printed. At the risk of
breaking the continuity of the ser-
ios. it might be well to take these
points up as they come.
While the story of David Marvin.
taken up in the second article. is
still fresh in our readers' minds. we
feel it ‘will- be of great interest to
hear the story of the ‘fleetfooted
David. from a descendant of the
character.

cut for drinking purpose was almost
annually threatencd' as a resort"
against midsummer drouti:. 161:
years Hartford maintained a pump-"
logistics on Elbe riverfront. the
purpose of which was to pump wat-
er into the city mains in an emer-
gency. Frequently the pumps would
be gotten ready. and a date set for
starting them, but usually Mother
Nature would come to the rescue at:
